A day at Hogwarts

On Sunday morning, the Hogwarts representative team was finally going to the Waggadu School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the African continent, more than 7,000 kilometers away, to participate in the potion competition. On the lawn outside the castle, the students and the professor leading the team They boarded the car one after another, and there were many people around to see them off.

Goodness knows where the two thugs, Fred and George, got a red carpet and let it crawl up to the car door like a snake.

The red carpet was reserved for Lord Seamus Finnigan. This guy strutted onto the carpet and boarded the carriage, and kept waving to the students cheering for him. Neville ran back and forth with Charles' camera Take pictures of him as if he is the principal.

On the other side, Harry said to Charles very seriously: "Don't worry, I will ask Hermione to write down all the homework you owe, and give it to you exactly when I come back."

Charles glanced at him with a sneer, turned around and waved his hand: "Professor Snape, I'll trouble you to take care of Harry during this time!"

Double kill.

When the time came, Charles took the camera from Neville and asked him to help take care of the plants in the second greenhouse during this time. He turned around and boarded the carriage with his classmates with great excitement.

Although the interior space of this carriage is very large, with a circular common room in the middle and a circle of dormitories around it, sixteen Thestrals can pull the carriage to reach the destination in one day and one night, but Charles still complained after getting in the carriage: "It's actually a carriage. It’s too unremarkable.”

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You can design a new transport for Hogwarts."

Charles just smiled in agreement, designing his own car is not a problem, the problem is whether Hogwarts has any plans to buy a new car.

Professor Bathsheda Bablin of the Ancient Runes class took the list and called the names, starting from Dumbledore and ending with Seamus. After confirming that everyone was present, Dumbledore gave the order to set off.

There are 20 people in the team going to the Waggadu School of Magic this time.

Dumbledore led the team, Professor Bablin assisted in the management of students and translators, Professor Kettleburn of the Magical Beasts Protection class drove and assisted Dumbledore, Charles was a full-time translator and part-time porter, who let him have a bag.

After layers of selection, there are five players, namely Eleanor from Gryffindor, Spencer from Slytherin, Olivia and Joyce from Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Cedric.

Among the five, two girls, Olivia and Joyce, are good at orthodox potion refining, Eleanor has a lot of research on unorthodox potions, and Spencer is the top of Hogwarts in terms of poisons. Cedric is good at processing materials.

In addition to them, there are ten students including Seamus, Vivian, Bobby, and Gary who are responsible for logistics and fighting.

In addition, Newt Scamander, who had been studying Voldebat at Hogwarts during this time, also came along, taking the car to meet old friends, and the price was to use his suitcase to help carry the luggage.

After everyone allocated their accommodation, Dumbledore held the first plenary meeting.

Dumbledore emphasized from the beginning: "The Potions Tournament intends to expand its influence and scale, so it has recently been changed from being held every seven years to every two years. In addition to Hogwarts, Kodos Torrez, the Institute of Magic and The four magic schools in Waggadu that participated in the competition also invited Beauxbaton, Durmstrang, Castrobusher, Ilvermorny and other magic schools to watch the battle."

"Especially this year, thanks to Kodos Torrez's efforts, a Chinese magic school delegation was rarely invited to watch the battle. They have had almost no contact with us for a long time, and the International Federation of Wizards attaches great importance to it, so we must treat it with caution They, don't start unnecessary conflicts. Charles, can you communicate with them?"

Charles was thinking about whether he would see Gabriel's sister if Beauxbaton also sent someone there, and he hurriedly replied after hearing the headmaster calling him: "No problem, when I travel to Hangzhou and order food in Chinese restaurants in London It's in Chinese."

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Okay, then the translation will be up to you."

He also had limited knowledge of the ancient countries in the East. He had heard from Jack that they had traveled to China several times before, and he thought that Charles should not have any problem dealing with them.

Then Dumbledore said very seriously: "This year's competition has attracted a lot of attention. We can't lose the championship, and we can't be ashamed, let alone lose the championship and be ashamed!"

All the participants cheered up immediately.

The following journey was a bit boring, mainly because everyone was a little nervous. Eleanor and the others gathered together to discuss possible problems. Seamus and the others closed the door in a room and played simulated Quidditch, but they were not very happy. Disturbed the players.

Charles went back to the dormitory to read the letters. Last time, all the letters from his pen pals were answered, and their letters just arrived this morning.

Valentina of Kodostorez's letter has only one sentence: "Hahahaha, you wait!"

Charles scratched his head, wondering if she would go to Ouagadou too, and that would be great.

Erika's letter from Durmstrang weighed half a catty. After Charles knew that she liked magic plants, Charles mentioned the luminescent plants he was planting recently and Chinese bite kale in his reply. In the botanical garden at home in Germany, I regret not being able to join the visiting group to Ouagadou in the end.

This time, there were a lot fewer katakana in Hiromitsu Yamada's letter. After talking about the magical beasts in the sea for two pages, he said that he was looking forward to Charles coming to the magic house in the potion competition four years later.

Charles was a little depressed after reading the letter, but Gabriel didn't reply.

In the afternoon, Dumbledore decided that it was time for the contestants to relax, so he asked them to play mock Quidditch as well.

At this time, the carriage had just left Marseille, France, and was flying over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Charles was sitting on the roof watching the scenery.

The carriage flies very fast, surrounded by magic protection, not afraid of being blown down by the wind.

It's nice to have a girl next to you while driving in the car, but Charles quickly ignored the fact that there was a Ravenclaw fifth-year girl sitting next to him.

Joyce and Charles stepped up to the roof of the car, but she hardly moved when she sat down, looking ahead quietly.

Charles greeted her and asked, "Aren't you going to play mock Quidditch?"

Joyce said without emotion: "I don't like it."

Charles talked to her a few more words, found that she only answered with one or two words, and then stopped bothering.

At dinner time, the carriage came over the Sahara desert.

The next morning, the carriage flew into a thick white fog.

Dumbledore said to everyone: "Get ready, everyone, the Waggadu School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has arrived."

After more than ten minutes, the carriage landed smoothly, Dumbledore opened the door, and everyone got out of the carriage at once.

Those who saw the Waggadu School of Magic for the first time were shocked by the sight in front of them. This is a magic school carved on the wall, from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and the observatory at the top is looming in the clouds.

The professors and students of Ouagadou were very satisfied with the performance of the guests. Both men and women wore white long-sleeved gowns and white round caps. They could be identified by the colorful embroidery on the neckline, cuffs and brim of the hat. Professor They, regardless of gender, wear a beautiful waistcoat.

Dumbledore went up to greet Babajid Akinbad, the principal of Waggadu, with a smile.

Charles was in constant shock at this time, but it did not come from the buildings in Waggadu, but from the Kirov airship that was landing nearby.

Dumbledore and Aginbad also looked at the airship after exchanging greetings. When the two walked over together, Dumbledore called Charles and said, "Kodos Torrez's team has arrived, and the Chinese delegation is with them. Get up, let's go say hello together."

Kodos Torrez and his party quickly stepped off the airship, and a very smart old man strode forward, hugged Aginbad and Dumbledore with a big smile.

Charles learned from their pleasantries that this person was Nikita, the principal of Kodos Torrez.

Behind Nikita, an old man in a Chinese tunic suit was smiling, looking at Charles with a half-smile.

Charles scratched his head and smirked at him.

Then Charles looked at Kodos Torrez's students, and a young lady who looked fourteen or fifteen years old was also looking at him, and tentatively asked, "Charles?"

Charles raised his brows and asked with his mouth, "Valentina?"

Then both sides laughed together.

After Nikita introduced the old man to Dumbledore and Aginbad, the old man smiled and said to Charles, "Xiao Zha, I didn't expect to see you here."

Dumbledore asked in surprise: "Mr. Xu Qingru, do you know Charles Smith?"

Xu Qingru replied with a smile: "He met my father when he came to Hangzhou several times to play. He is a smart boy."

Charles laughed sheepishly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Aginbad was about to lead the crowd to the school when the pink-blue carriage drawn by twelve rune horses was about to land, and Beauxbaton's team arrived.

The leaders went to greet them together, when Valentina ran over with two young students from the Chinese delegation.

"You are Charles!" said Valentina, laughing, "I didn't expect to see you so soon!"

Charles also smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Valentina, I was surprised too."

Then Valentina pulled the two girls who were the same age as Charles and said to Charles, "Let me introduce you, they are friends I met on the road."

"This is Zhang Jingjing."

"This is Fang Yan."
