International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 306 The Strong Ship and Gun from Durmstrang
On the day Durmstrang and Beauxbatons finally arrived, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was newly decorated, and the walls were hung with silk banners representing each house in Hogwarts: Gryffindor is red background The silk banner with a golden lion, the blue banner with a bronze eagle belonged to Ravenclaw, the black badger and yellow banner corresponded to Hufflepuff, and the Slytherin banner was green with a silver python.Behind the teacher's desk hangs the largest banner with the Hogwarts coat of arms: lion, eagle, badger and snake joined together, surrounded by a capital letter H.

Finally, it was six o'clock in the evening, and the students from the other two schools were coming. The deans of each college ordered the students of their own colleges to line up and go to the side of the Forbidden Forest one by one.The representative of the Ministry of Magic was already waiting there. The person who came was Bernard Appleby, the new director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and Crouch's confidant.

Professor McGonagall seized the last moment to order his students to tidy up their appearance.

"Weasley, put your hat on - Parvati, take that ridiculous tiara off your head - look at the Slytherins, they do a lot better than you..."

After talking for a while, Professor McGonagall seemed to have grasped the trick, and successfully made his students tidy up their clothes consciously.

Everyone walked down the steps one by one and came to the open space in front of the castle. The cold and fresh air in the evening made everyone sober up. At this time, night was falling, and a golden full moon appeared above the Forbidden Forest. Hermione's hand, standing in the fifth row from the front, he saw those first-year students in front were shaking with excitement.

Not far behind him were Fred and George, arguing excitedly about something.

"...He refused to talk to us face to face, and has been avoiding us."

"Then send the letter to him, or put it in his hand, he can't hide from us forever..."

A few words came from the breeze, and it seemed that someone was avoiding the Weasley brothers.

"I heard that Fred and the others came up with a way to fool around and pass the registration competition." Harry stood behind Lu Ren and said softly.

"What's going on?" Ron answered from the side. "If possible, I would also like to sign up."

"You are their younger brother, you don't even know, how do I know—"

"Enough!" Hermione gave the two boys a white look, "Are you crazy? This is a dangerous game that will kill you! And putting aside the danger, how could the two little wizards fool the referee? And You, Lu Ren, don't you want to sign up too?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Lu Ren shook his head and said in a low voice, "The referees are the principals of the participating schools. As for the person who selects the contestants, I think it might be a magic item."

The people around looked back at Lu Ren in surprise.

"During the Tournament in 1792, a cockatiel that the warriors wanted to catch lost control, and it went on a rampage, injuring all three headmasters, all of which are written in "Hogwarts, A School History". "Hermione proved the reliability of the news for Lu Ren.

"Quiet!" Professor McGonagall's slightly dissatisfied voice sounded, and everyone shut their mouths obediently, but after a while, there were humming whispers in the crowd again.

"So how will they come? By train?" Ron took the lead in discussing the two schools' travel methods again. Everyone disagreed. Some people thought they would use Portkeys, while others were sure it was Apparition. , Harry preferred broomsticks.

The little wizards scanned the gradually darkened venue excitedly, trying to find any clues that the guests were coming, but they couldn't see any unusual places, and everything was the same as usual.Lu Ren began to feel cold, and at this time he remembered what Mr. Weasley said at the Quidditch World Cup camp: "Whenever people get together, they can't help showing off..."

Suddenly, Lu Ren heard a junior wizard say to his companion, "Did you hear anything?"

Sure enough, a very loud and strange sound came from the darkness: a muffled rumbling and gassing, like someone popping a bottle of champagne.

Lee Jordan shouted: "In the lake!" He pointed to the surface of the black lake: "Look at that lake!"

The little wizards stood on the lawn in front of the castle gate, where they could overlook the panorama of the Black Lake. At this time, the previously calm water surface became choppy, and huge waves crashed against the wet lake shore. In the center, something like a long black pole appeared, and then two shorter poles appeared on each side of the long pole, and there was a black thing like a shark's fin right in front of the pole... …

"What is this?" Ron asked curiously, "Is it a mast?"

Lu Ren's expression was a bit complicated. He didn't expect that the thing had been successfully modified by Grindelwald. It seemed that it could at least complete space jumping.

Slowly, a huge streamlined object rose out of the water, and the lake water slid down from it. The black paint shone strangely in the moonlight. Although the blood-red flag on the bow had been soaked in the water, it was not stained. A little moisture rustled in the night wind. The appearance of the "boat" reveals a weird aesthetic feeling. The streamlined body looks very ergonomic, but as a "boat", its appearance is really beyond the wizard's imagination.Eventually the big boat came out fully and headed for the shore.A moment later, it leaned against the shore of the lake.

"Submarine..." Lu Ren whispered the name of the strange ship. Seeing the blank faces of most of the people around him, he explained to them what a submarine is and what type of submarine it is. The parameters of weapons equipped on a submarine-this is enough power to easily destroy a country.

The little wizards were in an uproar. They couldn't imagine that the weapons of only one ship were enough to destroy the entire country.

"You're lying!" Some little wizards shouted excitedly, but the little wizards who had taken the Muggle Studies class last semester fell silent. They knew that what Lu Ren said was probably true.

"Durmstrang's strong ship and sharp guns tore up the old glory of the British magic world..." Lu Ren suddenly flashed such a sentence in his mind. He knew that from the moment Voldemort used fighter jets to raid the World Cup during the summer vacation Since then, the barriers between the magical world and the non-magic world have been broken.

It can be seen that Durmstrang has been at the forefront of combining magic and Muggle technology.They made the nuclear submarine jump!What a terrifying power this is.

Twenty years ago, if either of the two poles of the Cold War gained this kind of power, it would have easily won the Cold War.Su Xunzong's strategic airlift in 20 shocked the whole world, if he got this kind of power...

Lu Ren can only hope that in this magic revolution, the British magic world will not be left too far behind - no matter what role you play, you can't play the role of Qing Dynasty!
