A friendly day at Hogwarts

Durmstrang's boat arrived a little slowly, and more and more people tightened their robes and stomped their feet to try to keep warm.

Glenn took off his scarf and tied it around Qiu's neck.

Finally, when more people started to become impatient, new news finally came.

The formerly peaceful Black Lake suddenly stirred up waves, with huge splashes rising on the water and waves crashing against the wet lake shore.

In the middle of the lake, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, like a pool that suddenly opened its drain.

Under the gaze of everyone, a jet-black mast slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool, followed by the sails, ship towers and decks.

A large ship emerged from the water, the lake water flowed down the deck and sides of the ship, and the portholes shone with a dim, foggy light.

, like the remains of a sunken ship that has just been salvaged.

The big ship docked, and the rusty iron anchor was controlled by invisible forces and thrown into the shallow water, and then a strong wooden board was put on the lake shore.

"Dumbledore! My dear old man, how are you?" Karkaroff, Durmstrang's principal and former Death Eater, took the lead and walked down from the ship, pretending to be enthusiastic, and spoke with his greasy The voice said hello.

He obviously put a lot of effort into his appearance. His goatee was carefully groomed with small curls at the end, and his hair was shiny and smooth.

He also wore a silver-white mink fur cloak, which was very valuable at first sight.

Although this appearance was carefully planned, it did not help him attract much attention. Everyone's attention was focused on the Durmstrang student who disembarked behind him - Viktor Krum. .

As the most outstanding player in the Quidditch World Cup finals, everyone who came to watch the game was deeply impressed by him, and it was no surprise that he became the focus of the crowd.

On the way back to the castle, almost everyone was whispering.

"...I think we should go to him and get an autograph, don't we?"

"I can't believe I don't have a quill with me..."

...

Several sixth grade girls were discussing in low voices as they passed by Glenn and Qiu.

"If I remember correctly, they should be members of the Ollivander Support Club. Has this changed the goal?" Qiu bumped Glenn with his shoulder and joked with a smile.

Glenn rolled his eyes: "Thank God for that. If possible, they'd better disband this club directly."

They followed the flow of people into the auditorium. As soon as Morgana saw the two of them, she immediately squeezed over and couldn't wait to give Qiu a big hug.

"Are you going too far?" Qiu hugged her back hard, and complained after they separated, "You haven't replied to us for so long..."

"Isn't this just to give you a surprise?" She pretended to be calm and gently hugged Glenn, with a trace of imperceptible blush on her face.

Qiu snorted dissatisfiedly: "To be honest, I would rather not have this surprise."

"Don't stand here stupidly. Let's go back and sit down first. The banquet is about to begin." Glenn said.

Morgana nodded and asked the tall girl who got off the bus with her to sit down at the long table in Ravenclaw.

"This is Fleur, my close friend at Beauxbatons." She introduced cheerfully, "This is Glenn and Autumn, my close friends at Hogwarts."

Fleur looked a little cold, but nodded gracefully.

Glenn glanced at her with a smile and teased: "So, you've finally started making friends now?"

"Do you want to take care of it?" Morgana rolled her eyes at him angrily.

Everyone entered the auditorium one after another. The Durmstrang students headed by Krum arrived at the Slytherin table. The professors and the three principals also returned to their seats one after another.Dumbledore did not sit down in a hurry, but smiled and prepared to make a speech.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests," he said kindly when the auditorium fell silent, "it is with great joy that I welcome you. Hogwarts. I hope and trust that you will feel comfortable and happy here."

At the word "comfort," Fleur let out an unmistakable sneer.

She was indeed frozen, she was still shaking slightly, and she didn't even dare to take off her headscarf.

This voice immediately attracted many dissatisfied looks, including Hermione.

Morgana also frowned and reminded: "That's Dumbledore, the person I respect the most..."

Fleur quickly said something in French, with an apologetic expression on her face.

"The Tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet," said Dumbledore. "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as they like at home!"

The house elves in the kitchen showed off their skills again today, not only preparing richer dishes than usual, but also adding several foreign-style delicacies.

For example, the German grilled elbow and the one-meter long German sausage, as well as the famous French baked snails and Fleur's favorite bouillabaisse - which is what Hermione calls French fish soup.

"I have to admit," Morgana said, "Although the meals at Hogwarts are sumptuous and the elves are very skilled in craftsmanship, the food in Britain is indeed not as good as France..."

Fleur immediately nodded in agreement.She was a very picky eater and almost never touched anything other than the French dishes.

As if the fish soup had dispelled the chill, she finally took off her headscarf, revealing her waist-length, silvery hair that looked like a waterfall.

I have to say that compared to the movie, the real Fleur is a bit more beautiful.

The fish soup was gone quickly, but Furong was still a little unfinished. After all, she had no interest in other dishes.

"I'm going to go over there and ask. Their bouillabaisse hasn't been touched at all." She pointed in the direction of Gryffindor and whispered to Morgana.

Soon, she returned with a plate with a smile on her face. With her appearance, it was almost impossible for her to be rejected.

Not only that, until she sat down, Ron was still blushing and staring at her like he had never seen a girl before.

In fact, Ron's reaction was not unique - Cormac McLaggen, who was in the same grade as Glenn and had always been confident but always got slapped in the face, also showed the same piggy expression.

Reunited after a long absence, Qiu and Morgana were having a lively chat.At this time, the door of the auditorium was gently opened, and two figures walked in.

Ludo Bagman, and former professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

Logically speaking, Lockhart shouldn't have appeared here, but something happened to Crouch, and Fudge had to ask this "confidant" to deal with the Triwizard Tournament.

Little did he know that this young man he had high hopes for turned out to be an out-and-out young man...
