After a few words of conversation between the two principals, Professor McGonagall led the Beauxbatons to the interior of the castle.

A long time has passed, and there is still no movement.

The little wizards looked up at the sky, and for a moment there was silence and nothing in the sky.

As time passed, the temperature gradually decreased, and many young wizards were already shivering in the cold wind.

Suddenly, a curtain of light fell from the sky and shone on the little wizards, and they were surprised to find that they had become much warmer.

"Professor Dumbledore, I think the students should be allowed to warm up in the castle."

"In this kind of weather, it's not good to freeze and burn out."

Dudley withdrew his wand from the group and walked up to Dumbledore in two or three steps.

"Durmstrang was late, and for a long time, there was no need for the students to suffer here, they were the ones who lost their manners first."

Although he could cast this warmth spell all the time with his abilities, he didn't want to pay for Durmstrang.

Being late is a bad thing no matter where you put it.

Dumbledore agreed after a moment's thought, "Pomona, please take the students in first." ”

'Mr. Dursley is still so gentle. ’

Dudley's move just now undoubtedly won everyone's favor again.

If there is a favor system, then he must be constantly flashing with the number +1+1 in front of his eyes.

One by one, the students entered the castle, and only Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick, and a handful of students led by Dudley were left on the lawn outside the castle.

Well. Only the prefects and the disciplinary team remained.

After a while, there was a strange sound wafting through the darkness, which seemed to be a suppressed rumbling sound intertwined with sucking, somewhat similar. Vacuum cleaner?!

The voice did not come from heaven

Lake. The sound comes from the Black Lagoon

Durmstrang is not an empty road, but a water road chosen.

I saw that the calm black water surface was no longer calm, and there was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake, and a huge splash rose on the surface of the water, and the waves crashed against the wet shore. Right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared

A black mast rises slowly from under the whirlpool.

"This way of appearing is a bit like that vortex in Heroes of Might and Magic III."

"The principle should be different."

Dudley looked at the rising mast and thought that the vortex in Heroes of Might and Magic III had a chance to lose the members of the ship.

That is, the big octopus at the bottom of the black lake has a good temper, and it will be dismantled directly for you if you change it to a bad one.

The Black Lagoon at Hogwarts is home to a giant octopus, no one knows how many years it lived, and it is rumored to be Godric Gryffindor.

Soon, a very imposing ship slowly surfaced, shining in the moonlight.

As the iron anchor was thrown into the shallow water, the huge cabin door slowly opened.

Wearing special fur cloaks, the big guys who had to fight with Goyle and Crabbe walked out of it one by one.

"Dumbledore!" The man at the front shouted enthusiastically at Dumbledore as he walked up the slope, "How are you, my dear old fellow?" ”

"Very well, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore's answer was bland and prosaic.

Igor Karkarov, the principal of Durmstrang.

When Karkaroff found that there were only a few people around them except Dumbledore, the smile on his face began to stiffen, and he immediately looked unhappy, as if he had changed to a different face. Fortunately, in the presence of Dumbledore, there was no immediate seizure.

What? You said he was late first.

Sorry, Karkaroff didn't care about that, his original plan was to be deliberately late and plan to give Hogwarts a disgrace.

Although his attitude towards Dumbledore had taken a 180-degree turn, he didn't say anything more.

This made Dudley look regretful, and he wanted to find an excuse to let the other party know what punctuality was.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, and it's good that Hogwarts is still that spectacular." Karkaroff looked up at the castle, his face still smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, nothing but indifference and coldness.

"Wickdor, come here, warm up. You don't mind, Dumbledore? Victor has a bit of a cold."

Karkaroff beckoned one of the students behind him to step forward and bring him to Dumbledore.

With a small flat head, a striking hooked nose and two thick, dark eyebrows, it is easy to identify Victor Krum, ,—— star student of Durmstrang and a Seeker for the Bulgarian national Quidditch team.

Karkaroff's intention was very obvious, which was to show off his excellent students in front of Dumbledore.

Behold, my student is a star Seeker of the Quidditch World Cup.

Dumbledore still had a smile on his face, and it hadn't changed in the slightest.

In fact, for Dumbledore, no matter how good Victor Krum is, he is just a Quidditch player, what hasn't Dumbledore seen in so many years? The pink humanoid toad has seen one.

Besides, the students at Hogwarts are not much worse than Wickdor.

"I know you, I've seen your game."

Without waiting for Karkaroff to continue to show off, Victor took the initiative to speak, only to see him say to Harry standing beside Dumbledore with excitement on his face.

"The champion of this year's Wizarding Card World Series, the famous Harry Potter, if I hadn't been busy with the Quidditch World Cup, I think I would have played in that tournament."

The charm of the Witcher card is that almost all young people love it.

The other Durmstrang students looked at Harry with adoration on their faces.

Many of them also participated in this competition, but unfortunately they did not even pass the qualifiers.

"Uh-huh."

The sound of a throat clearing made Wickdor look away, and his eyes lit up again: "By the way, there's also the runner-up, Mr. Draco Malfoy." ”

Draco nodded with a smile, appreciating the adoring glances of the Durmstrang students.

"Oh, the top four finalist, Mr. Neville Longbottom, is also here, I can't believe you're all Hogwarts students, I thought there were one or two Beauxbatons."

Saying that, Wickdor looked away again and fell on Ron, who liked Quidditch the most in the disciplinary group, and admired Wickdor very much, and even made him his idol and goal to work towards.

Just as Ron was excitedly preparing to enjoy the praise of his idol, Victor looked away from him, without a moment's pause, and then his body paused slightly, and then he was even more excited than when he saw Harry.

"You you are. The inventor of the Wizard card, Mr. Dursley! ”
