Admiral of Hogwarts
320 Welcome Banquet
Just as Madame Maxime and Principal Dumbledore were chatting, more than a dozen students got off the huge carriage behind them.
Judging from the age, these students are all around eighteen or nineteen years old. They seem to be more girls. They all have beautiful figures and are wearing gorgeous silk robes.
Hugo stared at the girls curiously, hoping to find the representative Miss Furong. Unfortunately, due to the weather, almost all the girls wrapped their scarves around their heads to cover their faces.
After Ms. Maxim had a conversation with Dumbledore, she left the carriage and took the Beauxbatons students to the castle to rest. Everyone at Hogwarts continued to wait on the lawn for the arrival of Durmstrang's personnel.
The sky turned completely dark, and the wind by the lake became more and more biting. Just when the sounds of sneezing and sniffing became more and more frequent, everyone finally heard the strange sounds coming from the wind.
Along with a suppressed sucking sound, there was a commotion under the Black Lake, huge splashes rose on the water, and waves crashed against the wet lake shore——
Then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake.
Then a mast slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool, followed by a sail flying high, and finally a huge sailboat rushed out of the water, splashing water everywhere and creating a mist.
"Wow wow wow, it's actually a ghost ship!" Victory's voice suddenly came to Hugo's mind. "But I can guarantee you 100%, this boat will definitely not be as beautiful as mine."
"It's definitely not as beautiful as you!" Hugo said seriously after hearing what Shengli said. Because the boat in front of me looks really old, it feels like the remains of a sunken ship that has just been salvaged.
I saw the ship sailing all the way, and within a few minutes, the ship slowly stopped on the shore of the lake. With a muffled sound, a strong wooden board stretched out from the ship and was placed on the shore of the lake.
Then a group of people wearing fur cloaks, who looked like upright bears, filed off the boat. They did not put down the hoods of their cloaks until they got off the boat.
The leader was an old wizard wearing a white cloak. He was tall and thin, with a goatee with curls at the end on his thin chin. His eyes were cold and sharp, and he looked like a man who would do whatever it took.
But soon a smile appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his hand to Principal Dumbledore, and greeted Principal Dumbledore in a smooth and sweet voice.
"Dumbledore! My dear old fellow, how are you?"
"Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore had a polite smile on his face and held hands with Karkaroff who stepped forward.
"Hogwarts, I'm really happy to be here." A smile appeared on Karkaroff's face, but his eyes were still as cold and sharp as ice.
"It is indeed a great honor to come here... Viktor, come here and warm yourself up... Do you mind, Dumbledore? Viktor has a little cold..."
Following Karkaroff's shout, a boy who should be seventeen or eighteen years old, but looked like he was in his mid-twenties, walked out of the crowd and stood opposite Dumbledore.
At this time, there was a burst of whispers among the students at Hogwarts, because everyone recognized this famous young Quidditch star.
Because everyone was already here, the students from Hogwarts followed Durmstrum's delegation and lined up in a long line to climb the stone steps.
As everyone walked towards the castle, everyone's whispers gathered together, as if everyone was discussing Victor Krum.
Although Krum's loss this year was obviously much more ugly than in the original article. Not only did the team lose, but he also failed to catch the Golden Snitch, but his popularity among young people has risen instead of falling.
This is mainly due to the obvious advantage of Utopia 3 Broomstick over Firebolt in this top-level competition. Therefore, most people believe that the defeat of the Bulgarian team this year was entirely a crime without war.
In this way, Krum is naturally regarded as a tragic hero. According to rumors, after he returned to China, there were five to six hundred letters of condolence written by fans alone.
Soon, Hugo and the others sat down at the Ravenclaw table. At this time, the group of Beauxbatons students had already sat down at the back half of the Ravenclaw table.
The group of Durmstrang students stood at the door of the hall and looked inside for more than ten seconds, then went straight to the Slytherin long table and sat down.
Obviously, the reason why the other party chose this way is probably related to the fact that there are relatively few people around the Slytherin table. Of course, it does not rule out that they know the pure-blood Slytherin House. It best matches the atmosphere there.
After all the students entered the auditorium and took their seats at the tables in their respective houses, the faculty came in and they filed over to the guest of honor seat and sat down.
The three principals were walking at the end of the queue, and the Beauxbatons students all stood up when they saw their principals coming in. They did not sit down again until Madame Maxime sat down.
"It seems that Beauxbatons should be very strict in management." Hermione leaned next to Hugo and whispered, "As far as I know, in the world of ordinary people, there are only some aristocratic schools and military academies like this. .”
"Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests," said Principal Dumbledore, who was standing next to the podium as soon as he came in, while looking at the foreign students with a smile. .
"It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here."
For some reason, a Beauxbatons girl sneered, which was undoubtedly sarcastic, causing many Hogwarts students to glare at her. No
The old principal, who has lived for more than a hundred years, has seen all kinds of storms, so naturally he will not be as experienced as this teenage girl. So I just pretended not to hear him and continued his speech.
"The Tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet," said Dumbledore. "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as they like at home!"
In an instant, the plates in front of everyone present were filled with food as usual at the banquet. But the difference is that a lot of the food today comes from France and Northern Europe, presumably specially prepared for the guests.
"The French fish soup is quite authentic." Hermione scooped some soup from a large basin in front of her and put it into her own small bowl. After tasting it, she said, "The craftsmanship is similar to that of Sister Richelieu. .”
During the summer vacation, because of the sub-plane left by Nicoléme, it was obviously much easier for ship girls to visit than before, so Hugo and Hermione also tasted most of the ship girls. Cooking various delicacies.
I have to say that the house elves at Hogwarts are really good, and even cooking foreign dishes that have never been cooked before are still delicious.
Soothed by the delicious food and warm environment, the Durmstrang students took off their fur cloaks, revealing the blood-red robes they wore underneath, while the Beauxbatons students also took off their scarves.
