Admiral of Hogwarts

Teams from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang schools are about to arrive at Hogwarts. The most direct impact of this incident on Hogwarts is that the entire school is much cleaner.

This is not to say that Hogwarts was not clean before, but the cleanliness before was just a matter of cleaning, while the cleanliness now is a renovation from the inside out.

For example, the patina on several ancient portraits has been scrubbed clean, so that every time the characters in the paintings touch the newly exposed pink flesh on their faces, they grimace in pain.

At the same time, the armors placed throughout the school were also refurbished. Not only were the surfaces polished, but the joints of each joint were also repaired so that they no longer creaked when moving.

Even the ghosts of the school held a meeting. At the meeting, Bloody Barrow volunteered that he would keep an eye on Peeves when the guests came to the school to prevent Hogwarts from being destroyed by the other two schools. Embarrassed in front of school guests.

The janitor Argus Filch also became a little nervous. When he saw that a student forgot to clean his shoes, he would get furious and frightened two first-year girls into hysteria.

The other professors also showed nervous expressions. Not to mention Snape, a professor who had no nice words to say on a daily basis. Even Professor Flitwick, who was usually the kindest person, unprecedentedly criticized several low-level mistakes made in class. s student.

Unlike the professors who were nervous, the students became much more active. Because this is a good opportunity for young people to meet foreign friends.

Therefore, during this period of time, whether they are seniors or juniors, boys or girls, all pay more attention to appearance than before, as if the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. But a grand ballroom dance.

On the morning of October 10th, the auditorium that served as the reception venue took on a new look overnight. Huge silk banners were hung on the walls, and the flags of the four major colleges were flying high above. Traces of magic could be seen everywhere.

In the morning, as soon as Hugo, his sister and Veneto came to the table to have breakfast, they saw the Weasley twins discussing something in the distance, and then waved to Hugo furtively.

"We have decided to cooperate with the Golden Harbor Grocery Store next." When Hugo walked to the corner of the auditorium, Fred looked around and whispered.

"Because we wrote and asked several friends, seniors and relatives, they all agreed with this store." George continued. "So the next step is to see how to contact them."

"This is simple, you just need to write a letter to Sister Buonao." Hugo shrugged and said. "They are not averse to investing in some projects that look very promising."

After discussing the investment, Hugo asked the twins about how they wanted to break the age limit of Mr. Principal.

"We decided to use an age-enhancing agent." Fred raised his eyebrows and said. "Because we are only a few months apart, no one should be able to tell if we use a better age-increasing agent."

"I'm not very optimistic about this." Hugo shook his head and said, "After all, age-increasing agents are very common in the wizarding world. International competitions like this will definitely focus on this."

"But the problem is, other than this, nothing else is accessible to us now." George curled his lips. "So we can only hope that we will have better luck next time."

All day long, there was a joyful feeling of anticipation in the air. In the classroom, no one paid attention to the lecture. Everyone was thinking that people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

Ravenclaw's last class was Charms. Professor Flitwick simply compressed the time and finished today's content in only half of the class. In the next ten minutes, he gave everyone a popular science about the Triwizard Competition. Some small details of the game.

"——So this kind of competition can indeed bring honor to the participants, but it also carries huge risks. Therefore, I hope you will think about it before signing up to make sure that this is indeed what you want from the bottom of your heart. of."

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Professor Flitwick said the last words to everyone, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to go back to the dormitory to tidy up their appearance, and then went downstairs to participate in the welcoming activities.

When Hugo and the others packed up and rushed to the foyer, many people were already here. The deans of each college, with the help of the prefects, are directing the students to line up.

"Weasley, put your hat on straight, Miss Patil, take that ridiculous thing off your hair." As soon as he entered the queue, Hugo heard Professor McGonagall's stern shout.

After everyone's team was almost organized, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-principal, greeted everyone to line up, and then followed him to the big lawn in front of the castle.

It was already the end of October, and it was evening. The weather was gradually getting colder, and a slow cold wind blew by from time to time. Several young wizards who had previously been more polite than warm shivered.

But even so, everyone still has high enthusiasm. Everyone looked around and whispered to each other privately. Even the repeated scoldings from the prefects could not calm everyone down.

"The other party is already here." Just when Hugo raised his hand and looked at the watch hand pointing to a little over 6 o'clock, Veneto suddenly whispered and pointed to a place in the distance.

After looking in the direction of her finger for a few minutes, others saw a few black figures appear in the night sky, and then flew closer and closer.

At this moment, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with other teachers, shouted - "Ah! If I am not mistaken, the Beauxbatons representative has already arrived!"

After hearing Principal Dumbledore's voice, almost all the students raised their heads and spotted the black spot flying closer and closer. Gradually, everyone could clearly see a huge object passing through the clouds and flying over the Forbidden Forest. Rush over here!

"A flying house—no, a flying carriage!" a Hufflepuff sixth-grade girl shouted loudly. And under everyone's gaze, the behemoth had already flown into the sky above them.

As the dark behemoth passed through the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, illuminated by the lights from the castle windows, they saw a huge powder-blue carriage flying toward them.

It was as big as a house, and it was pulled through the air by twelve winged horses, all of them silver-maned horses, each as big as an elephant.

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an extremely fast speed. The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly backed away - and then, with an earth-shattering loud noise, the silver-maned horses landed very close to everyone one after another.

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

Then, the car door with the coat of arms of two golden crossed wands opened, and a boy wearing a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage.

He fumbled at the bottom of the car and opened a golden spiral staircase, and then a high school witch with gorgeous makeup stepped out of the car.

When they saw her, the students present couldn't help but gasped, even Hugo, who knew in advance that Principal Beauxbatons was a half-giant.

Although he had even seen the atavistic giant that was the least and most human-like among the giants before, the contrast of such a big man standing with a group of people gave people a very strong impact.

Soon, Dumbledore began to applaud, and the classmates also clapped. Many people stood on tiptoes, trying to see the woman more clearly, and then the two principals gathered together to chat.
