Chapter 159 Pirate Ship and Pegasus
Chapter 159 Pirate Ship and Pegasus
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and life at Hogwarts is simple and busy. Although Bai Lin is only half a "professor", he and Hagrid not only have to take care of the animals used for teaching, (yes, yes, in Bai Lin At Lin's insistence, in addition to the snails, they added other animals, such as Lamora fish and velvet) and began to manage the habitat of the summoning book.
After a month of hard work, the habitat that has expanded to 28 hectares has been divided into several areas by the earth walls they created with magic, and some of the sealed creatures have been awakened. The not-so-broad small lake has become a resurrected mermaid lady Their home, and a few Grindyllos by the way, can be regarded as their old neighbors in the Black Lake.
And the poor Asatel has been burned to ashes in the furnace by old Addison. Bai Lin is not relieved until he gets the contribution points rewarded by the system. Don't worry about this guy suddenly cheating on the corpse or using psychic magic to influence him. the person outside the mirror.
And in late October, the students were pleasantly surprised to find that a new notice had been posted in the auditorium:
The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations will arrive at six o'clock in the evening on Friday, October [-]th.Afternoon classes end half an hour early.At that time, please send your schoolbags and textbooks back to the dormitory, gather in front of the castle, meet our guests, and then attend the welcome banquet.
Harry, Ron, and Neville were very happy, but they were because it was Snape's potions class on Friday afternoon. Although Snape didn't really torture them, his constant cynicism still made the magician feel uncomfortable. Medicine is not so interested in the two of them in great pain.
A few friends walked and chatted, and after a while, they started arguing over whether Cedric was a handsome guy or an outstanding student.Most students thought that Cedric would be a Hogwarts champion.Except, of course, Ron and the twins.
Although Ron didn't say it, he was quite envious of Cedric, because Ron failed to make it to the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and Cedric was the captain of the Hufflepuff team. The team is quite a threat. In addition, if the boy who is the most popular among girls in the school, it must be the handsome Cedric.
As for the twins, they didn't have any complaints about Cedric, but they thought from the bottom of their hearts that they should be Hogwarts warriors, but unfortunately they were half a year younger.
All October, they both figured out how to get into the game.Every time Harry met them, they were discussing the tactics of fishing in troubled waters. Of course, there were many students like them, but Harry just laughed it off. Although winning the championship would have a very high honor in the school, as Harry Said, maybe the honor is just his psychological burden.
Harry can't wait to grow up quickly, but the reason is not to participate in any inter-school competitions, but to become a powerful wizard who truly controls his own destiny.
"I think you can ask someone." Hermione suggested to the twins mysteriously.
"You mean...Professor Carlin?" Fred said with his eyes widened.
"That's right! With Professor Kailin's help, maybe we can get in!" George said elatedly.
"He will tell you bluntly that you are too weak, and you are also running with you in the competition!" Hermione ruthlessly gave them two knives, and Ron couldn't help laughing.
In order to welcome the guests from afar, the staff of the entire castle were very nervous (except for someone of course), the floor, the dining table, the window sill, the curtains, the railing...everything was thoroughly cleaned, even the portraits hanging on the wall were completely cleaned. After being "refurbished" by magic, Filch got even worse. Once he found that a student was disheveled or his leather shoes were not polished, he would throw a tantrum.
On Friday morning, when the students went downstairs to breakfast, they found that the Great Hall had been transformed overnight, with huge silk banners hanging on the walls, each one symbolizing a Hogwarts house, and above the staff tables. At the back, the four crests of lion, eagle, snake, and badger are connected together to form a capital letter H (the initial letter of Hogwarts).
Seeing the twins whispering, Harry and his friends walked up to them, and Hermione couldn't help asking, "Aren't you giving up yet?"
George said: "I went to smell Professor McGonagall, how the warriors were selected, but she refused to tell me. She just told me to shut up and concentrate on becoming my raccoon..."
"I don't know what competitions there are in the Triwizard Tournament?" Ron said while eating breakfast: "I bet we can do it too, think about what we have dealt with? Basilisks! Dementors! There are more monsters in the world. Are these more dangerous things?" After the special training in the summer vacation, Ron was full of confidence.
The friends made all kinds of guesses and spent a whole day in whimsy.
In the evening, under the leadership of Professor Pomona, Bai Lin walked out of Hogwarts Castle. At a glance, all the teachers and students of the school were lined up in front of the castle, with the younger students standing in front and the older students standing behind , Standing in a neat welcome square, it can be seen that Dumbledore and the school directors attach great importance to the Triwizard Tournament.
Most of the students have never seen students from other magic schools, and their faces are full of curiosity.
Bai Lin saw Harry's three little ones from a distance, and they were whispering, probably discussing how the other two school delegations would make their grand entrance. Eddie beside them waved to Bai Lin, and compared to Ha Li, he has a complete and brainless worship of Bai Lincai.
Bai Lin glanced at his watch, it was almost six o'clock, he had to carefully observe everyone in the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegation, and find out the little Barty who got in.
As night fell, a round of pure white and translucent moon had already hung in the sky above the Forbidden Forest.The students scanned the gradually darkening venue excitedly, but there was no movement, it was as silent and peaceful as ever.
Harry and his friends were still thinking wildly, when Dumbledore standing in the back row suddenly shouted: "Ah! If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbaton's representative has arrived!"
As the students looked around, a sixth grader pointed to the sky above the Forbidden Forest and said, "There!"
A dazed and large object flew from the sky, quickly swept across the dark blue sky, and flew towards the castle, and it became bigger and bigger.
"what is that?"
"It's a fire dragon!"
"That's a house! Fool!" …
Finally, they saw a huge powder-blue carriage flying towards them, it was as big as a house, and it was drawn into the air by twelve silver-maned horses with wings. The elephant is about the same size.
The carriage landed at an extremely fast speed, and the children hurriedly backed away. Pegasus strutted on the grass, shaking their manes and huge heads.
Immediately afterwards, everyone took it for granted why there was such a big Pegasus, because the gorgeous carriage opened the door, and first came down a giantess nearly three meters tall, the tallest person the children had ever seen—— Hagrid was more than a head taller, and her black high heels were as big as a children's sled. Even Bai Lin, who was mentally prepared, was quite shocked, because although this giantess was not young, But she was not ugly, no wonder Hagrid fell in love with her.
Dumbledore greeted her while applauding. The giantess stretched out her hand, and Dumbledore kissed her hand very gracefully.
"Dear Ms. Maxim," he said, "Welcome to Hogwarts!"
The two exchanged a few words before Maxim said: "My student." When she raised her hand and waved her back, twelve or thirteen young men and women had already got off the carriage, and there were more girls, different from Dressed like the "cabaret" in the movie, they wear elaborate silk robes and wrap their heads with scarves or turbans.They all looked up at Hogwarts with awe on their faces.
However, there was an acquaintance in the crowd. Catherine was wearing a water-blue dress and a silk coat, standing behind the students.
Bai Lin was a little surprised. Catherine obviously saw him too, but she carefully avoided her eyes and lowered her head.
"Our Protection of Magical Creatures teacher will be happy to take care of them..." Dumbledore pointed to Beauxbaton's Pegasus path, Hagrid hurried forward and smiled "elegantly" at Maxim, who saw Hoag Woz had a half-giant teacher and was quite surprised and happy.Moreover, You Qian who was beside Bai Lin also won over, and warmly greeted Maxim.
Hagrid watched Maxim leading the students into the auditorium, then pushed Bai Lin and said, "Are you free? Give me a hand."
Bai Lin was still looking at every student of Beauxbaton's, including Catherine. Some of them showed two eyes, which was really hard for him to identify.We can only hope that Yuqian, who accompanied them in, will have sharp eyes.
"I'm afraid I really want to see the guests of Durmstrang with my own eyes. I'll go back and help later!" Bai Lin sent Hagrid. Called them loudly to follow him.
After seeing Beauxbaton's Pegasus, the children wondered how big Durmstrang's horse was, maybe it was a super-sized Thestral.
But they soon discovered the clues, suddenly there was a rumbling and sucking sound in the black lake, and a huge vortex gradually formed in the lake.There was a huge splash on the water, waves crashing against the wet shore, and then a long black pole slowly rose in the eddy, followed by the sail and rigging.
In the children's gold is heavier, a magnificent black ship rises from the water, the hull and sails are shining in the moonlight again, it looks very strange, like the remains of a sunken ship that has just been salvaged, if To describe what it looks like, it is the legendary pirate ship in the Caribbean, and it is the most terrifying Flying Dutchman.
Although it looked tattered and unable to float at all, the pirate ship sailed smoothly to the pier by the lake. An iron anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then a large wooden plank was placed on it. on the shore of the lake.
Dumbledore walked towards the lake with the students who spontaneously went up to him, just in time to see the people on the boat coming out in a file. Each of them was tall and burly, but after seeing Maxim's figure just now, everyone's ability to accept Already strong is not 01:30.They wore broad fur cloaks and looked rather wild and wild.
The man walking in the front wore a high fur crown on his head, and his cloak was even more luxurious. He saw Dumbledore from a distance, and walked up to him enthusiastically: "Dumbledore, my dear old man, how do you Sample?"
Dumbledore also warmly gave him a bear hug and said, "Professor Karkaroff, that's great, thank you!"
Principal Karkaroff couldn't wait to introduce his students to Dumbledore, especially Viktor Krum, who was full of "dominant spirit", and then saw Bai Lin standing beside Dumbledore, Bai Lin In his previous life, he thought that Karkaroff was very strange, so he couldn't help leaning over to take a closer look at him.
Karkaroff said, "Is this your student too?"
Dumbledore said: "Aha, I hope so, this is our assistant professor, Kelin White from the East, Professor White seems to be very interested in our guests!"
"Yes! Mr. Principal, Mr. Karkaroff has always been my idol. I wanted to go to Durmstrang for further studies, but I never had the chance." Bai Lin stared at Karkaroff and said.
Karkaroff grinned loudly, his teeth were black and yellow, which didn't match his flamboyant style, but Bai Lin knew that Karkaroff was a master of black magic, and the black magic had begun to erode his body.
The students ignored the greetings from the principal and the professors, and they expressed their highest admiration to Viktor Krum. He is the Messi and Ronaldo of the wizarding world, and can be said to be the most shining in the Quidditch world. star.
Ron, who has always declared that he doesn't like Krum (every time he sees Krum's poster on his bedside, Ron always wants to show disdain, because he supports the Irish team) is now in shock, And some emotions were out of control: "It's Krum, Harry! Viktor Krum!"
"For heaven's sake, Ron, he's just a Quidditch player," Hermione said lightly.She also expressed regret for the female classmates who were completely nympho around her, "It's ridiculous!" In fact, the little girl was also happy in her heart, and no one knew that she and Krum had been pen pals for a long time.
"I'd like to get his autographed photo if I can..." Ron and a group of boys were still engrossed in the fuss.
Bai Linzai met each of Durmstrang's staff and students carefully. They all looked serious and had the aura of black magic on their bodies, which made people feel unkind, but Bai Lin didn't have anything new He found that although they all looked fierce, they actually had neither murderous intent nor the smell of blood, which made Bai Lin puzzled.
It stands to reason that hiding in the Durmstrang delegation is definitely the best choice. Did Barty Jr. give up?Or did Voldemort come up with something else?
The teachers and students of Durmstrang were sent into the auditorium, and the students sat down separately. Everyone gathered together, and the atmosphere was warm and extraordinary.
