Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 868: Reality
The visit from the other two schools was indeed a big day for Hogwarts.
The Great Hall at Hogwarts was refreshed overnight to welcome incoming guests, with silk banners hanging on the walls, giving it a bit of an end-of-year feel.
However, this time, the banners of the four colleges were all hung up. Behind the teacher's desk, hung the largest banner with the coat of arms of Hogwarts: the lion, the eagle, the badger, and the snake. together, surrounded by a large letter h.
As soon as he entered the auditorium, Albert heard a murmur around him, and the air was filled with a joy called "expectation", especially after someone leaked the news of Krum's upcoming arrival in advance , the atmosphere is even stronger. Albert even heard that someone was planning to get some parchment and quills ready to ask Krum for an autograph.
Of course, Albert doesn't care about these things, neither he nor Isobel are interested in Krum's signature. At this moment, he is perfecting his plan in his mind. These two days are undoubtedly the key points. Peter and Barty Jr will use unknown methods to prevent him from participating in the Triwizard Tournament. However, as long as someone throws his name into the Goblet of Fire, even if he doesn't throw it in, it's just as effective.
"What are you thinking?" Shanna sat down next to Albert.
"I'm thinking there must be someone who doesn't want me in the Triwizard Tournament," Albert said casually.
"What?" Shanna didn't respond for a while.
"Albert will steal some people's Warrior qualifications, and some people don't want him to shine." Lee Jordan, who was reading the Daily Prophet, interjected: "By the way, you have to be careful these days, I I heard from Fred that they've sold another batch of Ecstasy in the last few days, and I heard a lot of girls want to try their luck with Krum."
"I think if Professor McGonagall knew about this, Fred and George would have to be locked up." Shanna couldn't imagine how embarrassing Krum would be after being intoxicated
"No, those two cunning guys didn't sell the love potion in their own name, but in the name of the joke shop, which means that everyone actually bought it from a shop outside the school that no one had heard of. Yes, it has nothing to do with them at all." Lee Jordan explained.
"I really don't understand what they're going to do with the Ecstasy?" Shanna thought it was absurd, and she had actually heard the girls talk about giving Albert the Ecstasy.
"You can date someone you like all day, or ask them to invite him as a dance partner." Lee Jordan said without hesitation.
"And then, being completely hated by the other party?" Shanna shook her head and said, "Besides, do you really think that when the other party gets rid of the charm agent, you will still be willing to dance with her? I think it must be more embarrassed and angry!"
"Yes, the use of erotica will only make people more annoyed, but ... the girls may not really like Krum, but just because he is famous!" Albert directly pointed out, "They just want to To have a handsome and famous boyfriend so she can show off to her peers."
"Although you are right, some girls are exactly like what you said." Shanna comforted, "but I think most of them really like you."
"It's my honor, it's just that I already have someone I like." Albert said gently.
"Yeah," Shanna said. "That's why they're buying love potions and looking for a chance to date you."
"You are really enviable." Li Jordan curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, girls like famous and handsome guys."
"After so many years, you finally admit that you are not handsome enough?" Fred and George appeared out of nowhere, reached out and patted their friend's shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, it's not your fault that you are not handsome enough. wrong."
"Shut up." Li Jordan stared at the twins angrily, and slammed mercilessly, "Didn't you find a girlfriend?"
"We don't need it, at least not yet."
"At that time, you can't find a dance partner." Li Jordan said stubbornly.
"You should be worried about yourself." Fred and George said in unison.
On this day, almost everyone was absent-minded, no one was listening to the lecture seriously, everyone was thinking about tonight's events, but Professor Flitwick was very understanding and stopped the spell class and gave them the knowledge of the Triwizard Tournament. History, everyone listened to with relish and had a happy spell class.
In the afternoon, the teachers and students of the school were dismissed early, and all students were asked to put down their schoolbags and textbooks, put on wizard cloaks and queue up at the entrance hall.
The deans of the house walk among the students, checking their grooming and avoiding certain ridiculous outfits that would make Hogwarts humiliating.
After lining up, everyone was taken to the castle lawn by Professor McGonagall, waiting for the arrival of other schools.
As a prefect, Albert was placed in the second-to-last row of the team, standing with the prefects and the student council president. Behind them were the school professors. Everyone was very uncomfortable and didn't dare to be there. Whispering in front of the professors.
I don't know how long it will take, but finally someone can't help but speak. The chatter box can't be stopped. The professors obviously care, and they are also talking in a low voice.
"Actually, I'm a little curious. Other schools don't admit only their own wizards like Hogwarts, so what language do their schools use?" Cedric asked Albert in a low voice.
"The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is mainly French, while the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is mainly Bulgarian." Albert introduced.
"Is Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Bulgaria?" Shanna asked.
"Durmstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scandinavia."
"Scandinavia?" Shanna was a little puzzled. The Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scandinavia actually spoke Bulgarian?
"The location should be on the Swedish or Norwegian border, the exact location is unknown." Albert added, "It is said that the first headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a Bulgarian."
"How do you know these things so well?" the Hufflepuff prefect couldn't help asking.
"If you had a Durmstrang friend, you would know."
"You have a lot of friends." The Ravenclaw prefect next to Katrina complained, "Will your friends come to the competition?"
"She has graduated from Durmstrang."
"Is she the one who told you that Viktor Krum would be in the Triwizard Tournament?" Cedric asked.
"Yes, I met at the World Cup last time, and Katrina was there." Albert found that the girl had been in a trance since just now.
"Really?"
"Yeah." Katrina replied and stopped talking.
"How did you meet?" Someone asked curiously.
"I know from the Potions Championship," Albert replied.
"How about the Potions Tournament? I hear a lot of schools are participating."
"Do you think a bunch of people from all over the world can get together? Communication is a big problem, and it's hard to find someone who can talk for a few words."
"Hogwarts, a piece of school history: The Triwizard Tournament was designed to make friendships among young wizards, is it all a lie?"
"Some of those records must be true, but I prefer to believe that the greater significance of the Triwizard Tournament is to show off each other between schools." Albert said, "Also, everyone upholds the first place in the competition, The second principle of friendship."
"Friendship first, competition second." Professor McGonagall corrected.
"Because everyone wants to win." Albert shrugged. "Cheating has become a traditional part of school games. In fact, Quidditch games often have some unpleasant things. , even the World Cup.”
"Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall glared at Albert dissatisfied.
"There is also cheating in the Potions Tournament?"
"Yes, if you read the reports at the time, you will find..."
"Enough, Mr. Anderson," said Professor McGonagall.
"I'm just telling the truth." Albert shrugged, "At the Potions Championship, we were told the content of the competition before we even started. Of course, that's not allowed, but as long as It’s fine if you don’t put it on the surface. Although I don’t think the use is really big, it may be that the cheating on our side is not strong. Some players have figured out the content of the game a few months ago, and they are specific to the game. content for special training.”
All the prefects stared at Albert in amazement. His words were completely beyond their imagination.
"Some things, just take off the camouflage." Albert didn't pay any attention to Professor McGonagall's warning gaze, and continued, "Trust me, the contestants of the Triwizard Tournament will definitely get ahead of schedule. Know the content of the game, and then prepare a response plan for the game. In fact, the Triwizard Tournament has been like this in all dynasties. However, our warriors may be unlucky this year, and I don't think Principal Dumbledore will consider helping Our warrior cheated because of his noble character."
Everyone glanced at Dumbledore secretly, and found that he was not angry, but nodded slightly at Albert, as if he was glad that someone said he was of noble character.
"I believe in the ability of the Hogwarts Warriors to win the championship for Hogwarts without cheating," Dumbledore said mildly.
"Meg, you don't need to be angry, because in fact it's just like Anderson said." Professor Moody sneered, "You don't expect Karkaroff and Maxim to be noble, they will try their best to Tell their warriors everything, that's the tradition of the Triwizard Cup. However, I agree with Dumbledore, I'm sure you can beat their warriors and make those guys go to hell!"
The prefects looked at each other in dismay, feeling a little disappointed at the so-called Triwizard Tournament. They never thought that there would be such an inside story. If Albert didn't tell them, they would all be regarded as fools.
"Albus." Professor McGonagall seemed to hope that Dumbledore would shut them up, as some things couldn't be said at all.
"Ah! If I'm not mistaken, the representative of Beauxbatons has arrived!" Dumbledore shouted.
Hearing the headmaster's words, the team fell into a dead silence for a moment, and then the noise resumed, because everyone quickly noticed the approaching dark shadow in the sky.
A moment later, a behemoth was swooping towards the castle, gradually getting bigger and bigger in everyone's field of vision.
It was a huge powder-blue carriage pulled by twelve winged Pegasus. When the carriage went down to the ground, it was very hasty, like a car without braking, it made a loud noise directly on the ground, which startled all the students.
A woman as tall as Hagrid got out of the carriage. Dumbledore began to applaud and greeted him. He quickly stepped forward to welcome him, and gave him a hand kiss.
Thirteen male and female students came to Beauxbatons School. Their robes were all made of silk. With a group of handsome men and women, they looked like they had just stepped out of a fairy tale book.
After a brief exchange between the two principals, Beauxbatons' students took the lead in entering the castle to rest.
Albert seemed to see a few acquaintances in the crowd.
"Your friend?" Shanna couldn't help asking when she saw a woman with a headscarf covering her head waving at Albert.
"Maybe, she's just showing kindness to everyone," Albert said without hesitation.
"I think she should be waving at you. It must be someone you know." Cedric also felt that the girl should know Albert.
"Look at the lake."
I don't know who shouted, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
All the students in the school looked at the Black Lake in the distance.
In the center of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, and in the eyes of everyone ~IndoMTL.com~ a black mast was slowly rising from the lake.
A large, imposing ship slowly rises out of the water. It looks eerily like a ghost ship just out of the water. After the big boat left the water, it began to sail towards the shore of the lake, and anchored in the shallow water. It was not a terrible skeleton or a ghost who came down from the boat, but a student of Durmstrang.
Leading the charge is Durmstrang's headmaster Karkaroff.
After Dumbledore walked in, he immediately stepped forward to have a friendly exchange with Karkaroff.
However, just after the two sides exchanged a few words, Karkaroff called Viktor over to show off, as if to let him get to know Dumbledore.
The appearance of Viktor undoubtedly detonated the atmosphere completely. There was a commotion and shouting in the crowd. Viktor almost climbed the stone steps under the crowd.
"Hypocritical guy." Moody said contemptuously, looking at Karkaroff's back, "Maybe, Dumbledore should have brought you along so Karkaroff won't show off his precious student. "
When Albert entered the foyer, he found Krum and his Durmstrang alumni still gathered at the door, seemingly unsure where they should sit.
"Actually, I'm curious, why didn't they come to you to sign?" Shanna looked at the students who surrounded Viktor Krum for autographs, and teased Albert beside her.
"I think it's fine now."
