HP's return to innocence

Durmstrang also has a commencement banquet, but only for first-year students, not even transfer students.So Draco and Crown were able to spend the whole afternoon on the bed undisturbed, until they were really exhausted and fell asleep in each other's arms - when the little scorpion was crying, of course the two fathers still had to get up.

Until the next morning, Karkaroff knocked on their door.Grade skipping is okay, but they have to pass the exam.Drake and Crown agreed simply, and the two took their children and followed Karkaroff to the school building in a carriage.

The layout of Durmstrang is actually more like a Muggle university town. There are a large area of ​​student accommodation here, and whether it is the villa area where privileged students live or the dormitory area for ordinary students, it is a huge market. Therefore, in each area, there is a specially divided leisure area, where there are bookstores, grocery stores, candy stores, beverage stores, clothing stores, broom shops, etc., which are like Hogsmew built on campus. German Village.

Most of these shops employ students, but the shop owners are not all students, but they and their families also live here. The location of the residential area is just adjacent to the residential area of ​​the faculty and staff, where all the faculty, staff and them live. family.

Men, women, old people, children, teenagers, people come and go with different expressions.

Before I came here, I imagined Durmstrang as a somewhat stuffy and dark place, and this place is indeed strict, but other than that, it is also a lively and almost vibrant place.

Exams are just a piece of cake for Draco and Coronet. Except for the magic Sdrak who is not sure about some difficult questions, everything else is easy for him.In addition, Durmstrang's professors did some special tests about age.

Transcripts are not required, and Drake and Guan Guan are also very confident that they can get A or A+ - Durmstrang judges grades according to A, B, C, D - not to mention Karkaroff's face as supporting evidence .And the discrepancy between him and Lucius was also exposed because of his face at the moment. Obviously, Lucius Malfoy's son performed well, which didn't make him happy.

"I'm really jealous of Lucius, because he has such a good heir." Karkaroff said, he patted Drake on the shoulder, smiling, and at this moment, the falseness of his expression was inversely proportional to the truth of his words .

"Thank you for your compliment, Principal Karkaroff."

"Then you two will be the first and second students in Durmstrang to jump from fourth grade, or third grade, after all your third grade blood isn't done, to seventh grade. And I think For a long time, there will be no third person."

"Another thing, you may not have heard of it, this year there will be a Triwizard Tournament between the three academies in Europe." Kakaroff paused, he looked at Drake, and was very focused carefully observe his expression.

"The Triwizard Tournament? That sport with a high death rate?"

"Yes. But there are some changes this year. I will keep the method of finally selecting the warriors a secret for the time being. However, students from each school must be over 17 years old. That is to say, only a small number of students in the sixth and seventh grades will be able to participate. Participate. And you...and Mr. Gunter, since you have skipped to the seventh grade, and the physical test just now shows that you are indeed adults, then you will also be eligible to participate in the school selection."

"Tom and I will participate." Drake said without hesitation.

"I'm actually surprised, Drake." Karkaroff frowned. Although the person told him that Drake was likely to participate, he was still puzzled at this moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. "But since you have decided so, I will add your name."

"Thank you very much, Headmaster."

"There is a seventh-grade student waiting for you outside the principal's room. He will give you a detailed introduction to the curriculum. You can leave now."

The classmate waiting for them was the young German von Graf. He was wearing a traditional German wizard robe—compared with the elegant and comfortable British robes, the German style was more rigid and tough, somewhat similar to military uniforms— Wearing a pair of calfskin boots, he stood there straight.

His deep blue eyes lit up instantly when he saw Draco.Guan Guan twitched the corner of her lips.Walked over first: "Meet you again, Mr. Von Graf."

If Maximilian looked at Drake as the scorching sun of June, then what he looked at the crown was the ice of January: "Hello, Mr. Gunter."

Two men shaking hands, this behavior should be an expression of friendship, but when the relationship between the two of them is a "rival in love", only anger bursts out.

"Thank you for your help, Maximilian," said Drake, pushing Scorpion's stroller with one hand, while the other hand rested tenderly and intimately on Diadem's shoulder.The tense muscles in the crown immediately relaxed, and von Graf, on the contrary, stood more and more straight.

"My honor, Drake." He saluted, "I don't think you have had lunch yet, so how about the first step we get to know about Durmstrang, the Black Pearl Hall?"

Drake returned the salute, expressing his obedience.

Black Pearl Hall, popularly known by ordinary students as an elite restaurant, but if you want to eat here, you must be rich or have excellent studies.It was not a school property at first, but a private family restaurant owned by the school manager of a big family. Only the children of the family, close family friends, or excellent students could be invited.Now, even though that family has declined, and even the surname has been submerged among the crowd, the rules of this restaurant have been preserved. Of course the Graffs were one of them.

The German food on the table tastes very good. Although the sausage is a little salty for Drake, who has a mild taste, the fruit steak is definitely refreshing and delicious.

Of course, in addition to eating, talking is also necessary, so von Graf expressed surprise because Drake participated in the selection of the Triwizard Tournament.

The origin of the Triwizard Tournament was the tense situation among European countries in the Middle Ages—the Muggle world had aggression and wars, and so did the wizarding world, but it is clear that wizards in the Middle Ages were quite rational. They knew that no matter which country got the wizard, Neither can support a large-scale war, so the Triwizard Tournament came into being, which is why the players in the game are called "Warriors".

And even if the death rate in this game is astonishing, if all the warriors are wiped out in one game, only three people will die, and the wizarding world can still support this population.

At that time, warriors were respected, and they could be said to be great. Even if they failed and died, their families would be compensated generously. If they won, the commoners would become nobles overnight, and the minor nobles would become nobles overnight. Leap into the middle.

But now it's different, the political interest of the Triwizard Tournament has long since disappeared, and now it's just... a competition.For a big family like the Malfoy family and von Graff, that bit of fame, that bit of Garen, and the life-threatening danger the game was about to face were obviously insignificant.

"You think that's dangerous, Maximilian?" Draco asked back with a smile.

The affirmative answer spun around in the throat of the young German, and finally swallowed it down. Guan Guan suddenly felt that he was completely overwhelmed by the confrontation with the other party just now, and the German boy was just a child at all.

As a result, that night, there were more than a dozen application forms for Triwizard Tournament players on Karkaroff's desk. They were all pure-blood noble children from various countries, which caused him a lot of headaches.

The reason was that Maximilian obviously didn't want to appear cowardly and timid in front of beauties. As for the others, it was mostly out of comparison. Therefore, most of the boys at this age were really hot-blooded.
