Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 16: Academic exchange program with Nurmengard

Sean's heart beat violently, and that feeling of obsession surged up again.

He quickly lowered his head and took a sip of pumpkin juice. When he raised his head again, the girl was still watching him, but that feeling dissipated.

This girl definitely has Veela blood!

Sean raised his glass and smiled in greeting.

But he thought in his heart that he would stay away from this senior in the future.

After everyone had opened their bellies and filled their stomachs, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates in one go. The plates were all clean again. After a while, the pudding came up. There are all kinds of ice cream, such as apple pie, syrup fruit pie, chocolate trifle, fried jam doughnut, marmalade pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding...

For Sean, most desserts in the UK are too sugary for him.

Seeing Cotton spread another layer of cream on the dessert, Sean felt a toothache. That thing must be sweet.

As the sweet feast came to an end, Dumbledore stood up again.

"Oh, everyone is full now. Before your eyelids are fighting, I would like to remind you a few things to pay attention to in the new semester."

The auditorium suddenly fell silent, except for the slight crackling sound of burning candles.

"Attention first-year freshmen, no students are allowed to enter the forest area on the school grounds. Some of our senior students should also remember this well."

Dumbledore's eyes swept around the long Gryffindor table.

"Besides, the administrator, Mr. Filch, wants me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the hallway between classes.

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Anyone who is interested in joining the college team, please contact Ms. Huo Qi."

After saying this, Dumbledore's expression was a little serious. He waved his right hand lightly, and a row of fiery red characters appeared in midair.

Nurmengard.

"Presumably some old students have also heard the news. Yes, we have reached an academic exchange plan with Nurmengard School of Magic."

The originally quiet auditorium suddenly became noisy, and the students all started discussing.

"That gossip actually came true? My God, just thinking about those guys with upturned nostrils in Nurmengard makes me sick to my stomach." Cotton was complaining with others.

"Can you tell me why?" Sean turned his head and asked softly, and Hermione who was beside him also moved closer curiously.

"Oh, are you from a Muggle family?" Cotton showed a dazed look, and then his face turned ugly unconsciously. "Since Nurmengard was established, it has said that it will become the most outstanding magic school in the new era. Then, I don't know what agreement the principals have reached. The Triwizard Tournament that was originally suspended has been restarted again. The number of participants from each school has increased to three, and Nurmengard has also been added to the organizer..."

It was only during Cotton's dissatisfied narration that Sean learned that after the establishment of Nurmengard School, they not only frantically recruited students from other schools, but also kept advocating "elite education for the new generation of wizards". However, the three European schools who were originally dismissive failed miserably in the re-hosted first Goblet of Fire!

Not only that, in the following decades, Nurmengard won almost all the championships, while Hogwarts won the remaining ones.

Over the past few decades, the number of students in Nurmengard has been increasing, and Hogwarts in England can get by, but Durmstrang in Germany is now close to bankruptcy. It is said that the number of students in the entire Durmstrang school may not be as large as the number of students in a grade in Hogwarts.

Another reason why Nurmengard makes Hogwarts so hostile is magic. According to Cotton's original words, those guys in Nurmengard use "black magic covered with a layer of skin". They attack fiercely, completely disregarding the safety of their companions, and they are even more vicious towards the enemy.

In the previous Goblet of Fire held at Hogwarts last year, one of the three Hogwarts warriors was from Ravenclaw.

But the other student who came to Hogwarts didn't even mean to apologize at all, and even openly provoked them. Many conflicts broke out between the two sides.

"A group of beasts in wizard robes." This was Cotton's final evaluation.

Xiao En nodded thoughtfully, no wonder the two who came to recruit students were so **** for tat, the grievances between the two schools are indeed not small.

Cotton looked up at the teacher's long table, and complained: "I don't know what Professor Dumbledore thinks about having academic exchanges with those guys."

Dumbledore's old and wise face remained unmoved. He didn't even stop the noise in the auditorium. He didn't stretch out a hand until the discussions subsided a bit.

"This is a long-awaited plan," the words Nurmengard in front of him were quietly burning. "After half of the semester, they will come to Hogwarts. I hope everyone can get along with the guests from afar."

He paused: "Show the glory of being a Hogwarts student."

Dumbledore's prestige is extremely high. Although many people muttered a few words in secret, all the students still straightened their backs.

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone ~IndoMTL.com~ those who do not want to encounter accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Sean frowned. Voldemort hadn't risen, yet Dumbledore still arranged the Philosopher's Stone?

Who is this aimed at? Grindelwald? Or his followers?

Dumbledore smiled again: "Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Sean noticed that the smiles of the other teachers seemed to have froze.

Dumbledore didn't take out his wand, he waved it lightly, and the font of Nurmengard disappeared, and the flame recomposed a large section of lyrics in mid-air.

"Everyone chooses the tune they like." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"

All the teachers and students sang loudly:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,

Please teach us knowledge,

Whether we are balding old people,

Or the kid who broke his knee.

Our minds can accept,

Something interesting.

Because now our brains are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivial things,

Teach us something valuable,

Give us back what we have forgotten,

You only need to do your best, and leave the rest to us,

We will study hard until it turns into dung.

Everyone sang the school song in a hurry. Only the Weasley twins continued to sing along to the slow melody of "Funeral March". Dumbledore conducted the final bars for them both, and when they were done, he applauded loudest.

"Music," he said, wiping his eyes, "is more glamorous than anything we've done here! It's bedtime. Go back to your dorms, everyone."
