Harry Potter Platinum Glory

After welcoming Bubbaston, the students stood there, waiting for the arrival of the Durmstrang delegation. Many were already freezing, and it was still very cold on a late autumn night. Most people looked up at the sky eagerly. There was silence all around for a while, except for the sound of Pegasus snorting and stomping hooves.

Just then, a loud, odd sound drifted toward them from the darkness: a suppressed rumbling and sucking, like a giant vacuum moving along the riverbed. The students were standing on the slope of the lawn overlooking the grounds, with a clear view of the calm, dark waters of Black Lake—but suddenly it was no longer calm. There was a commotion in the water in the middle of the lake, huge splashes rose on the water, and the waves crashed against the wet shore - and then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, like a huge plug suddenly coming from the bottom of the lake. Pulled out...a long black rod rising slowly from the whirlpool...then the sail rigging...

Slowly, with great grandeur, the great ship rose out of the water, shining in the moonlight. It looked eerily, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a wreck that had just been salvaged, and the portholes gleamed dimly, misty, and looked like ghostly eyes. Finally, with a thudding sound of splashing water, the big boat came out completely, tossed on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the shore of the lake. Moments later, they heard a thud, an iron anchor dropped into the shallow water, and then another thud, a plank on the lake shore.

The men in the boat were coming ashore, and as they got closer, and walked down the lawn into the light cast by the foyer, they could be seen wearing some sort of fur cloak with a tangled tangle of fur. But the man who led them to the castle wore a different kind of fur: silvery white, soft and smooth, ~ very similar to his head.

"Dumbledore!" exclaimed the man enthusiastically as he walked up the slope, "my dear old fellow-, how are you?

"Excellent, thank you, Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

Karkaroff greeted one of his students, and seemed impatient to show it to Dumbledore. The boy stepped forward. He had a striking aquiline nose and two thick, dark eyebrows. Most of the students present recognized him without even an introduction from Karkaroff. . Krum, the best Seeker.

Some students made low-pitched shouts, obviously hardcore, but most took it lightly, as Krum wasn't worth their cheers compared to Augustus. In terms of strength, Augustus didn't even have to think about it, he could completely blow up this Bulgarian; in terms of appearance, they had never seen anything more perfect than Augustus. And temperament, origin

Talent, etc., it is obvious that Augustus completely crushed Krum, even in Quidditch, Augustus is not inferior at all, if they have Augustus, will they still cheer for this Durmstrang student? What a joke.

Durmstrang's delegation entered the castle with the Hogwarts students.

After entering the auditorium, everyone took their seats in their respective colleges. In just a short while, the hall became warm. Beauxbatons' classmates had already taken their seats at the Ravenclaw table. After they sat down, they looked around the auditorium.

Krum and his fellow Durmstrang alumni had also taken their seats at the Slytherin table, taking off their fur cloaks to reveal the blood-red robes they wore underneath.

Krum's seat was next to Draco, and the two of them just greeted politely and said nothing. The other Durmstrang students seemed to be intrigued by the Hogwarts ceiling, and two of them picked up golden plates and goblets and held them carefully.

Soon all the students were seated, the faculty came in, and they filed to the guest of honor and sat down. Walking last were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff and Madame Maxime. The auditorium gradually became quiet.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and -- especially -- distinguished guests," Dumbledore stood before the summit, smiling at the foreign students, "I welcome you with great joy. Come to Hogwarts. I hope and trust that you will be comfortable and happy here. The Tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet. I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as they want at home!"

The plates on the long table were piled high with food as usual, but today it seemed that the house-elves had pulled out all the stops, and the dinner was extraordinarily rich, with many foreign delicacies. The students, apparently starving, began to eat.

...for flowers ·

Due to the grand occasion tonight, Augustus was not able to sit at the Ravenclaw long table as usual, just when he was just preparing to eat, Krum, not far away, took the initiative to say: "I heard You, the strongest Chaser at Hogwarts.35

6699

Augustus now finally knows why this Krum has always seemed a little taciturn. It turned out not to be cool, but to hide the fact that he has developed limbs and a simple mind.

"It's nothing, just playing around. 35

Augustus casually said that this so-called Krum had no interest in him at all. He might be a good idol in the eyes of other students, but in his eyes, he was just an ant and a very weak one.

Augustus's tone is already obvious, that is, I don't want to talk to you, but the Bulgarian doesn't seem to feel it at all, and he still said with a little pride: "Did you watch the previous World Cup games, think my performance How does it compare to your previous opponents?"

"Hehe, for me, it doesn't make much difference. Besides, I didn't watch your game." Augustus was about to say, "Hurry up and eat your meal, I really don't want to talk to you." , But this seems a little out of style, so it is more euphemistic to say. His words suddenly made the little snakes around laugh out loud, and the one who laughed the loudest was Draco.

At this time, from the laughter of the surrounding Hogwarts students and the embarrassed expressions of his companions, Krum also felt Augustus' contempt, and his face suddenly sank.

"Looking forward to the competition with you." He snorted coldly, as if he was confident enough to crush Augustus.

Hearing Krum's provocative words, Augustus just shook his head in disdain and ignored it. He didn't bother to pay attention to this Bulgarian idiot. As a wizard, the first sentence he said turned out to be Quidditch, what else could he say? Woolen cloth.

Although he ignored the Bulgarian, Augustus also decided to teach him some lessons in the next Triwizard Tournament. Although it would not kill him, he would definitely let him know what it means to work in awe.
