Chapter 126: Boothbarton and Durmstrang

With the end of the first week of school, life in the new semester is gradually on track.
Jon has been very busy these two months.
In addition to the usual courses, he needs to spend a lot of time learning other knowledge in the responsive house, he needs to go to Snape's office every few days to help him deal with various medicinal materials, and to avoid Natalie's harassment...
The last point is not easy, especially when you are not willing to recklessly hurt a little girl’s self-esteem.
...
time flies……
One day at the end of October, all teachers and students of the school received an important notice:
"The Triwizard Tournament is about to open:
Representatives from Busbarton and Durmstrang will arrive at 6 pm on Friday, October 30.
The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier—"
In the next week, all the students in the school seemed to be talking about only one topic, and that was the Triwizard Tournament.
Rumors spread rapidly among the students like a virus... For example, who will fight to be the Warriors of Hogwarts, what events will be available in the competition, and how are the students of Boothbatton and Durmstrang different from them...
The castle is also undergoing a thorough cleaning... Some messy stone statues have been moved to unremarkable places, and some dirty oil paintings have also been cleaned.
The entire Hogwarts castle is almost completely new.
Whenever the administrator of the castle, Mr. Argus Filch, saw a student daring to break into the castle wearing muddy shoes, he would furiously... Then he took out the mop and carefully cleaned up the dirty place.
The entire school is making final preparations for the upcoming game.
...
On the morning of October 30th, when they walked out of the common room and went to the auditorium for dinner, they found that the auditorium was decorated overnight.
Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing a college at Hogwarts:
A golden lion on a red background is Gryffindor; a bronze eagle on a blue background is Ravenclaw; a black badger on a yellow background is Hufflepuff; a silver on a green background The python is Slytherin.
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 are joined together, surrounded by a large letter H.
Throughout the day, the students were very excited during class...
Even in Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class, some people dared to whisper and discuss the upcoming competition.
Only a few people are still paying attention to the class.
Professor Minerva McGonagall, who has always been strict, has turned one eye and one eye closed today.
The bell rang half an hour earlier, and Jon followed Zacharias Smith and Steve Lucas back to the Hufflepuff common room.
They put down their schoolbags and textbooks, put on robes, and assembled in the foyer, as Professor Sprout had previously ordered.
The deans of the college are ordering their students to form a neat line.
"Hannah, don't wear such fancy decorations on your head!" Professor Sprout instructed Hannah-Abbot to take off her headdress; he took out the wand and removed Zacharys-Smith’s messy hair , Become tidy up.
"Please follow me!" Then, Professor Sprout glanced at the formation with some satisfaction and said.
...
Students from the four colleges stood in line in front of the castle.
Jon glanced at his watch while yawning.
According to the previous statement, the students of Boothbatten and Durmstrang will arrive on time at six o'clock.
Unfortunately, it is already a quarter past six now...
It seems that the dove is indeed one of the three essences of mankind, and even the wizarding world is unavoidable.
The sky is getting dark and the temperature is beginning to drop...
Jon glanced at his watch again, it was almost half past six... Jon felt a bit cold on his body, he was still negligent, and did not remember to add more clothes...
Many first-year students in the front row were shaking all over...I don't know if it was cold or excited.
"If I'm not mistaken, Busbarton's representative has arrived!" Professor Dumbledore's voice sounded from directly behind the crowd.
At the same time, in the air, a huge pink-blue carriage flew towards this side. The entire carriage was almost the size of a house, twelve winged silver-mane horses pulled it into the air, and each horse was almost as big as an elephant.
The carriage slowly landed on the ground, and on the door of the carriage, you could see the coat of arms of Boothbatten School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: two golden crossed wands, and three stars appeared on each wand.
A woman about the size of Hagrid stepped out of the carriage... Mrs. Olim Maxim of Boothbarton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Dumbledore kissed Mrs. Maxime gracefully, without bending over.
At the same time, more than ten seventeen or eighteen-year-old male and female students also got off the carriage, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com stood behind Mrs. Maxim... Among them, the number of male students was far fewer than female students.
Dumbledore was on tiptoe, communicating with Mrs. Maxim who was bending down...
The students of the two colleges are all looking at each other and whispering.
Jon glanced at his watch again... it was six forty-five.
It seems that Karkaroff and Demstrang are also among the best in terms of pigeons.
He grumbled a bit hungry, but he didn't wait long.
The strange sound sounded from the bottom of Lake Hogsmeade, a suppressed rumble and sucking sound, like a huge submarine moving along the shore...
A huge ship floated from the bottom of the lake, and then docked on the shore... On the side of the huge ship, the logo of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was engraved: a double-headed eagle and a deer head, and Cyrillic letters School name.
More than a dozen students from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, dressed in thick fur cloaks, walked down from the cabin.
An old man with white hair and goatee in the front enthusiastically shook hands with Dumbledore.
It looks like he is Igor Karkaroff!
As the Durmstrang students approached, it caused a small sensation in the Hogwarts crowd.
Obviously, someone recognized that the Durmstrang student behind Karkaroff was the Bulgarian national and European famous seeker Viktor Krum.
...
Jon was finally relieved.
When Dumbledore, Madame Maxim and Karkaroff finished their greetings, they could finally return to the warm hall.
I glanced at my watch last. It was seven o'clock in Greenwich Mean Time, just fine, one hour later than expected.
After waiting so long, I can eat!
