Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

The cold wind is getting more and more biting. The senior students are fine, as they can basically cast a warm spell.

But the junior wizards, even wearing wizard robes and hats, are shivering slightly at this moment. The professors have no choice but to cast spells on the junior wizards.

Otherwise, if there is a large-scale cold tomorrow, it will be embarrassing in front of the upcoming Durmstrang students and the Beauxbatons girls who have just arrived.

Even if Madam Pomfrey can't get past that, Dumbledore will definitely scold him if that happens.

Until now, he hasn't come yet, making the Hogwarts students wait for an hour or two. I have to say that he is really arrogant.

One or two of them don't take Dumbledore, the highest mountain in the wizarding world, seriously.

Dumbledore is also to blame. If he had used a more forceful method, would the two dare to give him a warning?

For example, if Voldemort were the headmaster of Hogwarts, would they dare to be late?

This means that Dumbledore will not care about this matter.

In the night sky, the young wizards looked up at the sky eagerly.

It was even more silent all around, with only the whistling of the cold wind and the snorting and stamping of the giant horse of Ms. Maxime.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound rang in everyone's ears.

It was like the sound of bubbles, as if something was rushing out from below.

Many people had already reacted and immediately looked in the direction of the Black Lake.

Since the teachers and students of Hogwarts were standing on the lawn to welcome Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, they could clearly overlook the surface of the Black Lake from here.

At this moment, the surface of the Black Lake suddenly became no longer calm. There was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake, huge splashes of water appeared on the surface of the water, and waves hit the wet lakeshore.

Then, right in the center of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake.

A black long pole-like thing slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool, which attracted everyone's attention.

At first, everyone thought it was the giant octopus that made the noise.

The giant octopus living in the Black Lake would break the ice and come out to bask in the sun every winter when the Black Lake freezes. Many Hogwarts students have seen it with their own eyes.

If it wanted to, it could indeed make such a big noise.

But seeing this boat pole, you know whether it is a giant octopus.

"This is one mast!"

"Did Durmstrang come down from the water?"

"I don't know!"

...

Amid the discussion of the young wizards, the sails, rigging, decks, etc. were revealed one by one until the big ship completely rose out of the water, shining in the moonlight.

At the same time, the young wizards also saw the appearance of the ship, which was quite strange, as if it was a ship that had just been salvaged.The sunken ship wreck that came up, with dim, misty lights flashing in the portholes, looked like the eyes of a ghost.

After surfacing, this large ship suspected to be a ghost ship was bumping on the choppy black lake surface with a splashing sound, and began to sail towards the lakeshore.

A moment later, with a splash, an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then with another snap, a piece of wood was placed on the lakeshore.

The silhouettes of the porthole lights clearly showed that the people inside were coming ashore.

Unlike Beauxbatons, which were almost all girls, this time all the wizards from Durmstrang were quite big.

However, when they got closer and walked along the lawn into the light cast by the hallway, they found that they were all wearing a kind of fur cloak with tangled fur, which gave people the illusion of being big.

The man who led them to the castle wore another kind of fur, silvery white, soft and smooth, just like his hair.

Igor Karkaroff, Ethan recognized his identity at a glance, if he had some ability.

Although he was quite afraid of death, his ability was absolutely beyond reproach.

Because he was a Death Eater, after being arrested by Moody, in order to get rid of the days of living with Dementors in Azkaban, he made a deal with Barty Crouch, who was then the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and identified many hidden Death Eaters.

After the success, he also came out of prison, but he couldn't get along in Britain at all.

There was no place for him there, so he had to go abroad to find a way to make a living, and he eventually became the principal of Durmstrang.

You know, he started over after going abroad, and even so, he became the principal of the three major magic schools in Europe in just over a decade. Many people are eyeing this position.

Don't underestimate the social status of the principals of these three magic schools in Europe. Although they don't have much real power, they are definitely the top ones in terms of connections and influence.

It's just that he has a lot of old acquaintances in Hogwarts when he returns this time!

"Dumbledore! My dear old friend, how are you? "

Karkaroff shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope, feeling an indescribable sense of pleasure in his heart.

When he was in Great Britain, he was afraid of meeting Dumbledore. Whenever Dumbledore appeared, he would stay away. But now he appeared in front of him, and he had to say hello to me. Isn't this cool!

"Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff."

Dumbledore's face was a little stiff, which was completely different from his attitude towards Madame Maxime.

Although both of them gave him a warning, Dumbledore didn't care about it, but he was still a little concerned about Karkaroff's identity.

He was different from Snape. Snape still had love in his heart, which was more important than his own life.

Karkaroff, however, was a flatterer, cowardly, and even unqualified to be a Death Eater.

Karkaroff, a shrewd man, naturally noticed this, but he didn't care.

He took a few steps forward and shook Dumbledore's hand.

"Dear old friend, Hogwarts."

But he was looking in the direction of Hogwarts. Yes, he also graduated from Hogwarts. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would come back, and as the principal of Durmstrang School.

At this time, the little wizards also saw his appearance clearly. He was tall and thin, similar to Dumbledore, but his white hair was very short, and he had a goatee with small curls at the end, revealing a thin chin that was not completely covered.

Faced with Karkaroff's actions, Dumbledore did not give any response. Dumbledore could naturally see what he was thinking.

The more he showed, the more proud he was.

Dumbledore's indifference did not make Karkaroff look awkward. After calling Krum over, he led his students and the young wizards of Hogwarts through the entrance hall and walked towards the auditorium.

However, during this process, the young wizards of Hogwarts frequently looked at Krum, and many of them were still discussing something in a low voice.

There was no way, because Quidditch was too popular in this world, and many people regarded Krum as their idol.

After coming all the way to the auditorium, the young wizards of Hogwarts naturally returned to the long tables of their respective colleges. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

But the students of Durmstrang still gathered at the door, and the students of Beauxbatons also gathered in the auditorium.

Ethan waved to Fleur and Gabrielle, motioning them to come over.

"Ethan, don't you say that the girl you know in Beauxbatons is her?"

Terry looked at the person Ethan waved to in disbelief, just like Krum's appearance attracted the attention of all Quidditch fans.

The appearance of Fleur also attracted the attention of the wizards in Hogwarts.

"Yes, so you know!"

"Got it!"

Terry sighed, this was a love that ended before it even started.

There was no way, as a roommate, he knew Ethan's attraction to girls, as long as he liked her, there was no escape.

But if this didn't work, he could ask Ethan to introduce him to other girls in Beauxbatons. He just saw several beautiful ones.

Terry, who was dreaming, stood up immediately, but when he left, he also pulled Michael and Gene away.

There were three empty seats on the left side of Ethan.

Seeing Ethan waving, Fleur also waved back happily.

Then she smiled and talked to her classmates. Soon, the students of Beauxbatons came to the long table of Ravenclaw.

Except for Fleur and Gabrielle who came to sit next to Ethan, the other girls also found an empty seat and sat down. []

Fleur first greeted Qiu Zhang on Ethan's right, and then began to talk to Ethan in a low voice.

Qiu Zhang also changed his position with Gabrielle at this time.

So that now both sides of Ethan have become half-blood veela.

"Gabrielle, how did you come here!"

"Madame Maxime brought me here, when she was a guest at my house..."

Fleur immediately explained that Madam Maxime was her mother's best friend, and they were also senior and junior sisters at the beginning. Because they were both half-blood, they had been good sisters since they were students.

Although Maxime did not admit that he had the blood of a giant, many people knew it.

For this reason, as the principal of Beauxbatons, Madam Maxime also took good care of Fleur.

Last week, when Madam Maxime was visiting Delacour's house, Gabrielle was clamoring to go to Hogwarts, so her mother had no choice but to ask Madam Maxime for help.

With Madam Maxime's care, there was nothing to worry about. Although the Triwizard Tournament was dangerous, Gabrielle was not a participant, at most she was a spectator, so there was no risk.

It was just that her father's face was quite ugly!

Ethan's actions also attracted the attention of many young wizards in Hogwarts, and they were jealous and gnashed their teeth.

How about this? It's okay for you to buy all the high-quality ones in Hogwarts, and you can't let go of those from other magic schools!

At the same time, Viktor Krum and his Durmstrang alumni had already sat down at the Slytherin table.

In response, Slytherin was also quite arrogant. There were quite a few people who had just invited Durmstrang, but they chose their side after all.

Draco immediately started talking to Krum, and glanced at Harry smugly.

After the students were seated, the faculty and staff also came in from outside and sat down in their respective seats.

Last to walk were Professor Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Madam Maxime. They followed Dumbledore. Filch had just added two chairs next to Dumbledore's seat.

However, after Madam Maxime entered the hall, the students of Beauxbatons stood up immediately.

Faced with this situation, several Hogwarts students couldn't help laughing. Hogwarts didn't have this rule.

But the students of Beauxbatons didn't seem embarrassed at all. They didn't sit down again until Madam Maxime sat down on Dumbledore's left.

After Karkaroff and Madam Maxime sat down at the seats for the faculty, Dumbledore remained standing, and the young wizards gradually quieted down.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and especially guests. I welcome you to Hogwarts with great joy. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here." (Wang Li's)

Dumbledore looked at the foreign students below with a smile, and after a glance, he said again:

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

As Dumbledore finished speaking, the plates in front of everyone were filled with food as usual.

The house elves in the kitchen seemed to have used all their tricks. The richness was even greater than the Christmas dinner. Various dishes were placed in front of everyone, including almost all European dishes.

Ethan didn't know how the food at Durmstrang was at this dinner.

But the witches in Beauxbatons were quite satisfied with the food, especially the French fish soup, which was not enough for them.

At the same time, during this meal, Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch filled the two empty seats next to Dumbledore.

Ludo received the news only after the Quidditch Century Cup ended, and reported it to Ethan at that time.

At the same time, he was selected as a judge.

As for Barty Crouch, as the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, he still needs to be present for such exchanges with other countries.

Ludo is not the only one who is busy at the Quidditch World Cup. Barty Crouch is also working overtime.

It’s just that their arrival did not attract much attention!

As usual, after the dessert time, the golden plates were cleaned again.

Dumbledore also stood up at this time.

A feeling of excitement and nervousness seemed to permeate the hall. Dumbledore just said that the Triwizard Tournament would officially begin after the banquet. For this reason, everyone looked at Dumbledore with nervousness and expectation. .
