Chapter 298 Beauxbatons and Durmstrang

The sky gradually darkened, and all the teachers and students waited eagerly outside the castle, but they could only wait for the cold wind that kept blowing on them. They spent their time guessing what kind of transportation the two magic schools would arrive in. time.

But as time went by, the little wizards gradually became impatient.

Just when there was about to be some commotion in the team, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with other professors, said loudly: "Ah! If I'm not mistaken, representatives from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are already here!"

Before Dumbledore could finish his words, everyone followed his gaze and looked into the distance.

Above the Forbidden Forest, a huge creature was seen flying rapidly across the dark blue sky, flying towards Hogwarts Castle, quickly zooming in on everyone's field of vision.

Looking at the huge thing in the sky, a first-year student screamed and guessed: "It's a fire dragon!"

"Don't be silly... that's a house flying!" retorted Gryffindor's Denis Creevey.

In fact, Dennis's guess was closer to the answer than the freshman's.

When the black behemoth passed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest and was illuminated by the light from the castle window, everyone saw a huge pink-blue carriage flying towards them.

This pink-blue carriage is as big as a house, and twelve winged horses pull it into the sky. They are all silver-maned horses, and each horse has a body about the same size as an elephant.

At this time, the pink-blue carriage flew even lower. It was landing at an extremely fast speed. With an earth-shattering loud noise, the horses' hooves fell to the ground with a "bang bang", and each of them had a plate. So big.

In the blink of an eye, the pink-blue carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on its huge wheels. At the same time, the golden horses shook their huge heads, and their big fiery red eyes turned.

There is a medallion printed on the door of this pink carriage. The medallion depicts two golden crossed wands, with three stars emerging from each wand. Obviously, the pattern on this medallion is It is the school emblem of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Not long after, the door was opened, and a young wizard in light blue robes jumped out of the carriage. He bent down, groped for something on the floor of the carriage, and opened a golden spiral staircase.

He jumped back respectfully and made a "please" gesture, and a woman with a figure comparable to Hagrid walked out of the carriage.

In the crowd, Linn's expression moved slightly. He naturally knew this tall woman. She was Mrs. Maxim, the principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As early as the summer vacation of his first grade, his teacher Green took him to visit He went to his alma mater, and it was at that time that he met Madame Maxime.

Seeing the appearance of Madame Maxime, Dumbledore immediately clapped his hands, and the little wizards below also clapped their hands. Many of them stood on tiptoes, trying to see Madam Maxime more clearly.

Mrs. Maxim walked up to Dumbledore, her face relaxed, she opened an elegant smile, and stretched out a sparkling hand. Dumbledore kissed her hand gently and kissed her hand. Show etiquette.

"Dear Madam Maxime," Dumbledore said with a smile, "Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Madame Maxime responded: "Dumbledore, I hope you are well."

"Very well, thank you," said Dumbledore.

"My student." Mrs. Maxim introduced, raising her hand and waving behind her casually.

Behind Mrs. Maxim, about a dozen or so young wizards, men and women, had gotten off the carriage. Judging from their appearance, they were all around eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were all trembling slightly.

This is not surprising. Although France is not too far from England, the climate of the two places is still slightly different. At this time, the robes on these little wizards seemed to be made of fine silk, and no one wore them. Cloaks, some little witches were so cold that they wrapped their heads in scarves or hoods.

After the two parties met, Dumbledore asked Madam Maxime to take the young wizards from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry into the castle's auditorium to rest. Before heading to the castle, Madam Maxime also told Dumbledore , her rune horse only drinks single malt whiskey.

Shortly after the delegation from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry entered the castle, the delegation from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also arrived.

A loud, strange sound drifted toward them from the darkness, a muffled rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the riverbed.

"In the black lake!" Li Qiaodan shouted, pointing to the lake, "Look at the lake!"

Everyone stood on the gentle slope of the lawn overlooking the entire field. They could clearly see that the originally calm black lake suddenly became no longer calm.

There was some commotion underwater in the middle of the Black Lake. Huge splashes of water rose on the lake. Raging waves hit the wet lake shore. Then, in the center of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, like a It was as if the huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake.

I saw something like a long black pole slowly rising from the center of the whirlpool, followed closely by the sail rigging, which looked like a mast.

The big ship gradually rose out of the water, shining in the moonlight.

The ship had a strange appearance, resembling a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a sunken ship that had just been salvaged. The ship's portholes shone with a dim, foggy light that looked like ghostly eyes. .

Finally, with a splashing sound, the big boat emerged completely, bumped on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the lake shore.

A moment later, with a "plop" sound, an iron anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then with another "plop" sound, a wooden plank was put on the lake shore.

When the wizards on the ship walked ashore and walked along the lawn into the light cast by the foyer, everyone could see the appearance of these wizards clearly.

They are all tall and wearing fur cloaks with shaggy and tangled fur.

However, the fur worn by the adult wizard who led them towards the castle was of a different kind. It looked silvery white, soft and smooth, just like his hair.

"Dumbledore!" the adult wizard came to Dumbledore and shouted enthusiastically, "my dear old man, how are you?"

Dumbledore smiled and replied: "Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." (End of Chapter)
