Chapter 304 Beauxbatons Arrives
One day, when Levin and Hermione were preparing to go to the Great Hall for dinner, they found that they could no longer move forward.
A large group of students gathered at the foot of the marble staircase, watching a large announcement.
The student closest to the notice read it loudly enough for Levin and Hermione to hear clearly.
“Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6pm on Friday 30th October. The afternoon session will end half an hour earlier
This notice is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The news quickly spread throughout the school, and everyone was talking about these two schools and speculating on how they were different from Hogwarts.
However, no matter how they compare, most people firmly believe that Hogwarts is the best.
Students in every college fervently hope that someone in their college will become a warrior and bring glory to the college.
After it was determined that the strongest Levin would not participate in the selection, several senior students from almost every college became popular candidates.
Among them, the one who is considered most likely to become a warrior is Cedric.
This sixth grade student from Hufflepuff has always been known as one of the best students at Hogwarts.
Levin is not included; he is no longer included in this category.
He is gentle, friendly and helpful. He is also the main player of the Quidditch team and the prefect of Hufflepuff. His grades are always first in the grade. His only weakness is Zhang Qiu of Ravenclaw.
He is a standard kid from other people's families.
In order to leave a better impression on the guests, the castle underwent an earth-shaking cleaning.
Several portraits that looked dirty before were now scrubbed and looked brand new.
The characters in the painting have all put on brand new clothes, and they are no longer the shabby ones they were before.
The Fat Lady of Gryffindor even learned a new song for it,
She said enthusiastically that this was specially prepared for guests.
I hope those little wizards who come from far away will not be scared away by her singing.
The armor in the corridor has also been wiped until it shines, and it no longer makes that heartbreaking crunching sound when moving.
The school was finally willing to lubricate them.
Filch became very irritable,
When he saw that a student had forgotten to clean his shoes, he would get violently angry, and once he even scared two first-year girls into hysteria.
He also suggested to the principal that a special hygiene program be implemented in which all little wizards would be required to participate.
Specific measures include:
There should be no garbage in the trash can in the lounge, no items on the table, and no clothes in the closet.
The little wizard cannot stay in the dormitory or lounge, but has to stay in the library.
Of course Dumbledore couldn't agree to such an obviously idiotic clause.
Not only did Filch become irritable, but the professors at Hogwarts also seemed to be infected by some kind of magic and became much more irritable.
During a Transfiguration class, Neville Longbottom tried a transformation spell, but it went wrong and his ear was unfortunately grafted onto a teacup.
This mistake made Professor McGonagall furious. She said in a rare and sharp voice: "Longbottom, please do a good job. Don't expose your flaws in front of the other colleges and let them see that you can't even make a simple transformation." I haven’t even mastered the curse yet!”
"You should see Levin! He learned this magic in first grade!"
When Hermione told Levin this, he explained:
"This time not only are the warriors from three schools going to compete, but several other schools will also bring some students and professors over to take classes with all the students at Hogwarts. So, this is not just a competition between warriors, but also a competition between warriors. It’s a competition between several schools.”
Levin's words spread quickly, and the students became excited.
On October 30, when Levin came to the auditorium for breakfast, he found that the auditorium had become completely new overnight.
Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house.
Behind the teacher's chair hangs the largest banner with the school emblem consisting of the representative animals of the four colleges, which is particularly eye-catching.
On that day, all the professors did not give lectures as usual during class.
They used this time to introduce the situation of several other schools to the little wizards in detail, and at the same time hinted that they must not embarrass themselves in front of the teachers and students of the other schools.
Otherwise, they can't guarantee what they will do.
In the evening, when the bell rang, all the students came to the door in order.
The entrance hall was crowded with people, and the prefects and Filch from each college were working hard to maintain order.
"No crowding, everyone line up!" Professor McGonagall shouted loudly,
Then he turned his attention to Ronald and Parvati, and scolded severely:
"Weasley, put your hat straight on me! And Miss Patil, you have to take that ridiculous thing off your hair."
Ronald hurriedly fiddled with his hat, while Parvati frowned unhappily, but still took off the ten-song large butterfly headdress from the ends of her braids.
There are also people in Ravenclaw wearing strange costumes, and the most exaggerated one is Luna.
This time, she was as unsociable as ever, wearing a sparkling silver dress.
The dress seemed to be made up of countless mirrors, like a moving rainbow. Whenever she moved slightly, it would emit colorful brilliance.
In addition, she also wore a pair of unique carrot earrings.
These two small radishes also have green leaves, passed through with gold thread, and hung gently on her earlobes.
Professor Flitwick was much calmer than Professor McGonagall and happily complimented her on her beauty.
Suddenly, Professor McGonagall ran over to Ravenclaw,
Levin thought she finally couldn't bear it and attacked Luna.
Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed Levin's wrist and pulled him directly to the front row of the team.
"You are the best wizard at Hogwarts, Levin," she said, adjusting the boy's robes, "and you are also one of the organizers of the Triwizard Tournament. You are the card of Hogwarts. noodle."
Emotions treat him as a living sign,
But that's right,
Apart from Krum, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang really couldn't find any young wizard who could rival Levin in fame.
then. As a prefect, Zhang Qiu happily stood beside Levin.
She glanced at the time and said: "It should have arrived...how did they get here? Did they take the express train?"
"Maybe a broomstick? No...that's too far." Hermione guessed that she was also pulled to the front row by Professor McGonagall, which was obviously a recognition of her, "Maybe a portkey?"
Levin shook his head, "There's no need to speculate anymore, because Beauxbatons' people have already arrived."
Hermione and Zhang Qiu were stunned. When they looked in the direction Levin pointed, they vaguely saw a black spot appearing on the horizon.
"What is that? A group of hippogriffs?" Zhang Qiu tried his best to squint his eyes to see clearly.
But the distance was too far, and he couldn't see clearly at all, so he could only guess.
The little wizards around also noticed something strange in the sky, and they all raised their heads and looked over.
The black spots on the horizon were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually everyone could clearly see a huge thing passing through the clouds, flying lower and lower over the Forbidden Forest and rushing towards this side!
"Oh my God, what did I see? A castle flying in the sky!" A first-year student screamed in shock.
"Idiot, that's obviously a carriage, a flying carriage!" Another senior wizard retorted excitedly.
Under everyone's gaze, the behemoth had already flown into the sky above them.
It was a pink-blue carriage as big as a house, with many gorgeous decorations hanging on it. There was also a crest printed on the door that looked like two golden crossed wands.
It is pulled into the sky by twelve silver-maned horses with wings, each of which is about the size of an elephant.
These horses looked very majestic, their pupils were blood red, and they were pulling the carriage down quickly.
"That's a rune horse, a type of Pegasus," Levin explained to Hermione. "In retrospect, they are distantly related to the Thestrals in Hogwarts."
"I'd rather Hogwarts had some rune horses," Hermione complained. "At least they can see."
A large shadow shrouded the students below. The young wizards standing in the front row hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid being hit, but before they could stand firm, the ground shook violently - a huge carriage It landed less than one meter in front of them.
Then, the car door was opened, a boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, fumbled to open a golden spiral staircase, and then a middle-aged witch with luxurious makeup walked out of the car. come out.
When they saw her, all the students present couldn't help but gasped, even Levin!
Because this witch is so tall, among all the people Levin has met, only Hagrid can compete with this witch in terms of height.
However, her graceful and luxurious temperament is not comparable to Hagrid.
She is Beauxbatons' principal, Madame Maxime.
Dumbledore applauded as he stepped forward, and the little wizards also applauded together.
He gently grabbed the other person's hand and gave a kiss on the hand.
Levin realized that he wanted to give Madame Maxime a hug at first.
But after looking at the height difference between the two sides, he wisely chose to give up.
"Dear Madam Maxime," he said, "welcome to Hogwarts."
"Dumbledore," said Madam Maxime in a low voice, "I hope you are well.
Then, she turned her eyes to Levin, who was at the bottom of the crowd, "And you, Mr. Levin Green, nice to meet you.
At this time, Levin's reputation advantage becomes apparent.
In the entire Hogwarts, besides Dumbledore, he was the only one that Madame Maxime paid most attention to.
"Me too, Mrs. Maxim." Levin said politely, "On behalf of the students of Hogwarts, I welcome you."
