A day at Hogwarts

"Crack!"

A slap hit Charles on the back.

"Hahahaha, thank you!"

Qiu Zhang greeted Charles with a smile at the castle gate.

That day, Daphne asked Charles which girl in Hogwarts was the most beautiful, and the first one Charles mentioned was Autumn Chang.

This kind of gossip spread quickly among the students, and the person involved naturally heard about it.

What beautiful girl wouldn't be happy to be praised by others.

If it were someone else, there might be gossip about the two of them.

But this was what Charles said. No one thought about it that way. Instead, they teased Qiu Zhang. Charles ranked her ahead of Hermione. Could it be that she was Charles's elder and Hermione and Harry wanted to call her grandma?

Charles said to Cho Chang: "If you want to thank me, why not buy me a drink next Hogsmeade week."

Qiu Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, where do you want to go?"

There is a saying among Hogwarts students that ordinary friends go to the Three Broomsticks Bar to hang out, when they start to fall in love, they go to Mrs. Puddy's Teahouse to drink tea, and when they are passionate, they go to the Pig's Head Bar upstairs.

Charles looked thoughtful and said, "How about Honeydukes?"

Qiu Zhang and the girls who came with her suddenly laughed so much that they could hardly stand upright.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's teams were about to arrive, and everyone joked for a while before arriving at the teams of their respective colleges.

Charles was quickly surrounded by several people.

Fred said to him seriously: "Charles, please give us a class to teach us how to talk to girls."

George said the same: "Professor Smith, please guide us!"

Katie Bell, a female member of the Quidditch team, also said: "You can also teach us how to strike up conversations with handsome guys."

Another girl, Alia Spinnet, said: "Yeah, like Diggory."

Charles said seriously: "It's not difficult. Sincerity is the greatest skill."

At this time, Professor McGonagall came over and asked everyone to line up. Aria whispered to Fred: "I think it is better to learn from Mr. Smith."

Several people around saw Professor McGonagall wearing a pair of earrings that had never appeared before, and they couldn't help but nod together.

Charles was a little depressed.

I wanted to ask Dumbledore what was going on a while ago, but McMew happened to pass by, and Dumbledore remembered that he had some unfinished work.

Write a letter specifically to ask the old man?

That's something I don't dare to do. If the old man is shy, he will really be struck by lightning. He can only pretend to talk about it casually when we meet and chat.

The time is coming, and the students line up in the cold wind, waiting for the arrival of the guests.

The first to arrive was Durmstrang's team.

A strange sound came from the lake not far away. A huge whirlpool appeared in the big lake, and an ancient sailing ship slowly rose from the whirlpool.

When the boat stopped, many people ran to the side of the boat and looked down.

Lavender Brown asked in confusion: "What are they looking at?"

"When we went to Kodos Doriz in the spring, our boat came up from under the water and crashed their boat," Harry said.

Durmstrang's students saw that there was nothing underwater, so they lowered the anchor with confidence.

More than twenty students and Principal Karkaroff walked from the lake, all wearing fur cloaks and fur hats, looking very burly.

Karkaroff and Dumbledore exchanged greetings. When they heard that Beauxbatons' team had not arrived yet, they decided to wait together, and then the students he brought stood together with the students of Hogwarts.

Neville bumped Dean with his arm and whispered: "Look, that girl's eyes are red." Dean also said: "Her face is so white, whiter than Malfoy's face, a bit scary. "

Hermione in front of them said: "She may be a vampire. I saw a vampire during the summer vacation with the same skin as hers."

"Hey, why is she here?"

Ron turned to her and said gloomily: "Maybe she found out that you are very smart, and she will be smarter after sucking your blood."

Hermione believed it, shuddered, shook her head and said, "Let her suck Charles' blood. Charles is smarter."

"Well……"

Several of them saw Charles and the vampire girl hugging each other, and they looked very familiar.

Seamus said to them: "You forget that Charles also has a pen pal in Durmstrang."

Hermione said in surprise, "But she's a vampire!"

Seamus shrugged and said, "So what if you're a vampire? Charles is still a brother of a centaur."

When he said this, everyone suddenly realized.

Compared to centaurs, vampires are easier for everyone to accept, at least they also have two legs.

"Yes." Ron nodded and said, "The relationship between Charles and Veela is also very good."

Parvati asked cautiously: "Does Charles dislike humans?"

Everyone was silent.

Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "It's very possible."

Over there, Charles said to Erica: "You are coming, why didn't you tell me when you wrote to me last month."

Erica laughed "hehe" and said, "I want to give you a surprise."

Charles pinched the clothes on her arms and said like an old man: "Are you wearing enough clothes? Don't think it's not cold here because it's not as cold as Durmstrang. If there are not enough clothes, I will buy you two pieces tomorrow." sweater."

Erica giggled there.

Lavender turned to look at Hermione and said, "I think you need a sister."

The people around nodded. Viktor Krum didn't know why they were like that, but he nodded along with them.

At this time, everyone realized that Krum had come to the side without knowing when, and Fred and George were squeezing in this way.

Krum stretched out his hand to Hermione and said, "Hello, Miss Granger, we meet again."

Lavender and Parvati both widened their eyes at once. Everyone knew that Charles had a wide range of friends, but no one expected that Hermione and Krum knew each other.

Hermione shook hands with him calmly, a little curious. She didn't tell him her name when she set up the stall that day. How did he know it?

At this time, the Beauxbatons team also arrived.

Twelve silver-maned flying horses as big as elephants pulled a small castle-like carriage and landed on the lawn of Hogwarts, scaring the students in the front rows back.

A boy came out to lower the spiral staircase of the carriage. Madam Maxime got off the carriage and exchanged greetings with Dumbledore, and said a few words to Professor Delacour.

Twenty or so students from Beauxbatons followed and got off the carriage, all wearing a sky blue woolen cloak.

Many people were a little uncomfortable with the cold air after getting out of the warm carriage. Someone told Fleur that it was fortunate that she reminded them to put on the cloak, otherwise they would be very cold in their school uniforms.

Charles stared at the door of the carriage until the twenty or so students aged 17 or 18 got off the carriage and the last student who left closed the door.

Where is Gabrielle? !

Charles was shocked. Didn't they say that Gabrielle and the other elementary school students would also come? Why were they not there? !
