Chapter 527 Welcome Banquet
While the McGuffin's bad idea messes everything up,
The Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle is in a sea of joy.
The student representatives of the nine wizarding schools, together with the students of Hogwarts, came to the auditorium.
Even though there were more wizards than usual, Harry felt a little empty here.
Most of the students follow their own schools, get together unconsciously,
They looked around at the decorations in the auditorium, with either puzzled...or dull expressions on their faces.
Beauxbaton's students still wrapped their scarves tightly around their heads,
The students of German shepherd strong still wear thick fur cloaks,
But when comparing them to representatives of the Ilvermorny school of witchcraft and wizardry, it was not uncommon for them to be sullen at best.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...it was only three or four o'clock in the morning this morning with the Sri Lankan Yami Society in New Zealand and the Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Brazil...to Hogwarts School,
And these Yankees have always had an inexplicable hostile attitude towards all the personnel of Hogwarts school.
After Hermione's explanation, Harry found out... It turned out that the founder of Ilvermorny School came from the Slytherin family. At that time, a dark wizard from the Slytherin family had been persistently chasing them to the United States.
This incident at that time caused Hogwarts to fall into an embarrassing situation where Hogwarts and the newly founded Ilvermorny School fell into an embarrassing situation for a long time... no one recognized the other.
It was not until the new headmaster of Hogwarts offered an olive branch that the grievance was settled.
But until now... The Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the American wizarding community, has a slightly hostile or wary attitude towards British wizards, especially pure-blood wizards who graduated from Slytherin College.
For example, now, they carefully carry their wands, for fear that any wizard from Hogwarts will sneak up on them...
New Zealand's Sri Yamishe has the fewest and most eccentric students.
There were about five or six of them, all wizards, and three of them were students... with weird and exaggerated tattoos painted on their faces with blue-black paint.
And in such cold weather, they were still shirtless.
Ears, nostrils... There are some bone rings, bracelets, which look very scary (it is said that they are real human bones, or carved by dead wizards)
Even the students who admired the rather similar style of Slytherin were a little scared to watch these guys go around.
Brazil's Castello Busche School of Magic is completely opposite and has another style.
Most of the witches who came were tall and tall witches. They also wore little clothes. They wore a layer of translucent silk or some kind of magical fabric cloak around their bodies. Besides, under the cloak, they only wore short skirts, T-shirts and other magic-modified Muggle wizard costumes. They just exposed their thighs, arms, and navels... The exposed figures of these witches attracted the attention of many wizards.
Of course Hermione, as well as most Hogwarts... and even witches from other schools, felt very resentful towards these precocious witches.
But now the only female student in the auditorium who can match one of them... probably only one girl from Beauxbatons.
It's called Hibiscus. .
She has long cascading silver hair that falls to her waist.
Big azure blue eyes, and a perfect smile with white and straight teeth... have made many male students fall in love with her charm.
Ron was also among them. The moment the girl took off her scarf to reveal her original appearance, he froze for a moment, petrified in place, his face flushed red, and he kept sneaking glances at her.
When Hermione pierced him to peek at the other person, this guy became even more annoyed and hoarse, "This is a Veela, I'm sure! Otherwise I wouldn't be like this..."
"Certainly not!" said Hermione sharply. "I don't see anyone staring at her like an idiot!"
What Hermione said was a bit too harsh, let's not talk about other schools of magic, Hogwarts and other colleges, just Gryffindor wizards (most of them are wizards above the fourth grade, and a small number of wizards in the third grade).
As for what it's doing...it's self-evident.
Anyway, it greatly intensified the pride and anger of the senior Hogwarts witches.
Of course, this is also normal, to put it in a less explicit way... After all, these boys... especially those who are the same age as Ron and the others...or students who are older than that have already begun to develop gender awareness.
Isn't Harry just obsessed with Cedric's girlfriend, Cho Chang?
Of course, he still buried this matter in his heart all the time, and never told anyone about it.
However, there are some guys whose aesthetic standards... or hobbies are extremely different.
Lee Jordan, and some big Slytherins, were obsessed with that Japanese witch... Chiko Morita.
This of course surprised everyone else, even the twins George and Fred... couldn't understand how their best friend could like a guy with such a heavy breath of the underworld. (The strange carriage with the head of a monster that the Japanese wizard rode on made many students fear and resist, and their silent and silent way of moving made Hogwarts students murmur, rumors and discussions abounded)
The words are a bit far away, let's brush aside these "spring" topics, and return to the foreign magic school tonight and the scene of the party.
Although most of the students gathered according to the various magic schools and found seats in this auditorium, there were also some differences and surprises.
It's like Gryffindor and Slytherin are never in contact with each other, and they sit directly in the farthest position.
And under Karkaroff's influence, Viktor Krum and those students of German Shepherd Strong... took their seats at the Slytherin table.
The witches of Ravenclaw sat with Beauxbaton and the witches of Castrobusher (there was Yingying Yanyan over there, which attracted the attention of many male students)
The wizard representative of the Nile Temple in Egypt is very close to the students of the Waggadu School.
The Ilvermorney School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is next to the students of the Sri Yami Society in New Zealand.
As for the Japanese wizards, the two different wizarding factions were split in two, and the more 'modern' students in golden robes sat around the Ilvermorny school.
And those who are more traditional... are led by the witch Morita Chiko, who has been following behind a certain Chinese wizard. In the end, she sat directly on the rostrum as a representative of the Japanese side, and whispered something to the high-level representative of the Chinese wizard in Chinese.
As for the representatives of Chinese wizarding students, some sat next to Ravenclaw student Qiu Zhang.
And some of them kept staring at the scar on Harry's head, speaking Chinese with each other, discussing something quietly.
At this time, Harry felt that it would be great if McGuffin was there, he could speak some Chinese.
The auditorium was still decorated as it was yesterday, and the animal logos of the four Hogwarts colleges in different colors covered the surrounding walls, vivid and lifelike.
In addition to this, many other symbols of magic schools have been added below the auditorium ceiling,
They are some small square flags, neatly suspended above the dining table, without wind.
For example, the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a pattern composed of four magical creatures: the horned water snake, the thunderbird, the cat leopard, and the goblin.
Beauxbaton... the Pegasus, the two crossed wands, and the blue emblem with three stars have already been introduced.
The logo of Waggadu is what Harry and the others saw last night on the Moon Mountain... that weird mask with bright colors and extremely exaggerated and abstract image.
Castro Busche directly used a huge...an ancient tree that blocks the sky and the sun as a symbol.
What Harry saw in the Magical Shrine was a huge, gleaming jewel-like palace...
Of course, it is the strangest...No one can compare to those weird Chinese wizards. After Hermione reminded, Harry realized that those red flags with five small stars...was originally the national flag of that country.
Never heard of such a thing.
Use the national flag as the logo badge of the magic school.
But Dumbledore and Fudge didn't say much about it, and others didn't have any opinions.
In short, this is the general situation of many participating schools and student representatives.
Afterwards, after Dumbledore and the principals of various magic schools, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Magic... Cornelius Fudge took their seats one by one, the dinner began.
First of all, Madam Maxim stood up... After clapping her hands, Beauxbaton's students stood up immediately.
But it didn't wait for Harry and some of the Hogwarts students to laugh out loud.
These representatives of Beauxbatons walked out of their seats (only the witches, of course, most of Beauxbaton's students). They came to the auditorium and took off the scarves and cloaks that wrapped their hair, and shook them in the air. These silky, extremely transparent and soft scarves turned into blue butterflies... fluttering around these beautiful witches.
Afterwards, the representative of Beauxbatons twisted his graceful figure... and danced, while walking around the long tables in the auditorium,
In the end, these butterflies spread out like a dream, seeming to be real...flying around the little wizards like a ballet in the air...in their exclamation...slowly flapped their wings and disappeared.
All the students burst into extremely intense applause.
Afterwards, under the gesture of Karkaroff, the German Shepherd Strong students also raised a thick cane...
Boom!Boom!Boom!
They beat the ground rhythmically,
boom!boom!
The cane rotated rapidly, full of phantoms, switching back and forth between their left and right hands and floating upside down... With the impact and rotation... dazzling sparks flew everywhere.
This kind of melodic collision sound with the ground and other canes made the hearts of the students in other schools beat together, and the emotions in the auditorium became very excited for a while.
In the middle of the march of the wizarding representatives of Durmstrang like an army, some of the student representatives waved their wands, held them to their mouths, and blew their wand tips towards the ceiling of the auditorium...
--call!
Chi...a long golden-red stream of flames spewed out with exhalation...turned into a long snake, turned into a fire dragon, formed into a phoenix...finally flapped its wings...turned into a little bit of fire...disappeared.
(Of course, Wilkdo Krum's identity... makes him not participate in this tough guy acrobatics...)
German Shepherd Strong's performance also won applause from the audience.
After that, New Zealand's Maori war dance appeared,
(These guys are tougher than German Shepherd Strong... shirtless, with twitching pectoralis major muscles, loud chest slaps, and the bright and exciting rhythm made the students very excited... This made many Hogwarts witches who were still chasing wizards look straight. As for some witches in Brazil, they even swallowed their saliva and even stood up directly, just staring at them...Of course, some shy little witches turned their heads and did not watch this scene)
Then the Brazilian witches also appeared on the stage. They changed their clothes, danced a unique and feminine dance in South America, and waved their magic wands...conjured various kinds in the air...flower petals that did not know magic plants at all, and fell from the sky...making the auditorium full of fragrance for a while, filled with a strange fragrance.
The wizards didn't know whether they were intoxicated by the fragrance of the flowers, or the witches were swaying and dancing seductively.
In the back, there is a weird solo dance by the Japanese witch Morita Chiko. (Similar to the Quidditch final, there was a burst of white mist, she loomed in the thick fog, her figure was distorted, entwined with will-o'-the-wisps...)
This made the restless mood of the students feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, instantly waking them up.
The representative of Waggadu is performing a variety of animals... This high level of magic has surprised the students of other schools (including Hogwarts students), especially the principals of other schools...
Harry saw that Karkaroff's face became more gloomy, and Madam Maxime's face also turned ugly... The principals of other schools probably thought that the student representative of Ouagadu... this time was the most powerful contender for the top ten competition.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (a weird pan flute played unique music... giving people a feeling of desolation, misty and misty... As the music continued, Harry and the others could actually feel the sight of mountains and high mountains, lush and deep forests, and snow-capped waterfalls in front of them... It was like drizzle, patting their cheeks gently... That ethereal feeling lingered in their hearts for a long time, until the music stopped.)
The Temple of the Nile in Egypt (the phantom of the Nile, the pyramids, the living sphinx...appeared above the auditorium, and the vicissitudes of history were revealed)
There are also Chinese wizards (they directly summoned the flying sword that was stepped on their feet last night...it turned into various beams of light...buzzing and flying in the air...the extremely fast collision, splashing sparks of various colors...this made many students very interested, especially the twins thought it was cool...)
All schools performed their country's characteristic magic one by one.
Finally, Dumbledore stood up and said with a smile,
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts . . . and - especially - distinguished guests . . . "
"It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts, and I hope and believe that you will feel very comfortable and happy here..."
"The selection of warriors and the introduction of the rules of the Tournament will officially start after the welcome banquet." Dumbledore announced with great joy, "I invite all friendly foreign wizards and guests to eat and drink to their heart's content, just like at home... Don't be restrained... Our elves have prepared various special foods from all over the world..."
After speaking, he knocked on the gold cup on the table,
Harry and the others immediately saw that all the tableware on the long table was instantly filled with rich food.
