The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link is a man who respects the strong

Whether it was Dumbledore or Voldemort, or the weaker Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, they actually still had a relatively high evaluation in Link's heart.

The old cowboy Lange also met Link's standards for a strong man.

But when Langer, like others, said that he would give Grindelwald's head to the International Federation of Wizards to sacrifice the flag on the anniversary, and laughed wildly, Link's opinion of him suddenly changed.

People cannot, or at least should not, be so shameless.

Lange is essentially no different from people like Hartman. They are all pure despicable people.

After coming to this conclusion, Link instantly felt that this magnificent banquet hall had become a bit smelly.

The matters that should be discussed were already over, and Link was too lazy to talk nonsense to these people. He got up and walked out without even saying hello.

This behavior stirred the nerves of everyone present.

The Kugel sisters once again stopped in front of Link and said with a forced smile:

"Link, don't leave in a hurry. The meeting is over, but we have a grand banquet to be held later."

"Yes, Link. We have just reached an agreement. It is the time when we need to get closer and closer. Don't worry, we will entertain you well."

As he was talking, one of the guys, who didn't know whether he was an older sister or a younger sister, scratched the heart of Link's right hand lovingly.

Link frowned, took a few steps back, and a ball of water condensed out of the air, wrapped around his right hand and began to spin and clean it at high speed.

He disliked physical contact with the sisters, not because of their status as social butterflies, but because of the despicable and shameless words they had just spoken at the meeting.

"I'm not interested in things like banquets. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Besides, I hope you have a good time."

Link said expressionlessly, and then walked out the door on the path that Arkham had already opened for him, leaving only the two Kugel sisters with smiles frozen on their faces.

Beckman, who was following him, showed his hands to the Kugel sisters with an expression of great joy - he was very satisfied with Link's performance today.

"Please wait, Mr. Foley." The black-haired little Schwartz caught up with Link again, "The previous thing about little Hartman was just a misunderstanding. Please believe that we have no ill intentions towards you. . In addition, the reason why I want to keep you to attend the following banquet is actually because a friend of yours may be coming soon."

"Huh? Who is it?"

Link paused and turned to look at Schwartz expressionlessly.

The latter also stood up straight, ignoring that he had crawled to his feet and was spitting snake messages on his thighs, as if he would bite him in the next moment and said to Arkham with a warm smile on his face. :

"Viktor Krum, the seeker of the Bulgarian national Quidditch team, is also a warrior of the Triwizard Tournament at Sidemstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I believe this person is familiar to you, right? "

Link raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's him. This is kind of interesting."

……

Half an hour later, the originally solemn atmosphere of the banquet hall had completely changed.

As the conference table disappeared, countless fine wines and delicacies once again occupied everyone's attention. Even the two Veelas responsible for taking care of little Hartman returned to the banquet hall amid the loud music, and continued Their programs are not suitable for children.

There is a luxurious pure gold fireplace in the corner of the banquet hall.

Amidst the continuous explosion of firecrackers, men and women in gorgeous dresses walked out of the fireplace one after another and joined the carnival.

Beckman seemed at ease.

He shuttled flexibly among the guests, saying hello skillfully. Sometimes he would even comment on the performance of the two Veela with a few old men with white hair and beards, and then the group of people would laugh obscenely. stand up.

Compared to him, Link is less gregarious.

Although the Kugel sisters and the Schwartz mother and son brought many people to get to know him, he still looked half-dead, sitting directly opposite the solid gold fireplace and paying no attention to anyone.

He was not interested in getting to know any German wizard nobles.

Besides, Link has conducted in-depth investigations into the wizarding nobles throughout Germany.

As long as they are famous nobles, he has known them all.

And none of these people showed up at today's banquet. All that came were small fish and shrimps of little value.

"Crack!~"

As a smoke screen rose again from the fireplace, Krum and an extremely thin old man appeared in the banquet hall.

Link saw this and sat upright - the rightful owner he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Krum on the opposite side obviously also discovered Link immediately.

This made Krum's expression become a little embarrassed.

"Aha! Our distinguished guest has finally arrived!" Little Schwartz had obviously been paying attention here, and he hurriedly greeted him, "Welcome! Professor Doug! Of course, there is also our strongest seeker. Mr. Krum!"

Link was sure that the old man called Doug was definitely the oldest living person he had ever seen in his life.

This guy is so old that all the hair on his head has fallen out and is covered with age spots.

His body was also severely stooped, and he not only relied on crutches but also needed Krum's support when walking.

Hearing Schwartz's voice, he blinked his cloudy eyes twice and said in a weak voice:

"Mr. Schwartz, it's our honor to have you greet us in person, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Professor Doug. Come, let me introduce you to the famous Triwizard Tournament champion, Mr. Link Foley. I believe..."

Little Schwartz said as he pulled the two of them to Link.

This made Krum look even more embarrassed. He had been trying to hide behind Professor Doug from the beginning so that Link could not see him. Unfortunately, his body as strong as a bear was far beyond what an old man could hide.

Fortunately, Professor Doug seemed to notice his embarrassment, and just looked at Link before dragging little Schwartz away, leaving enough space for Link and Krum.

Link believed that Professor Doug was definitely well-intentioned. He might have thought that the two little guys might not be able to talk if there were elders present.

But the result was different from what he expected.

Judging from the expression on Krum's face when he looked at Arkham, he must be looking forward to Arkham coming up and biting him to death.

At least this way he wouldn't have to endure such intense humiliation.

"Cough cough!"

After clearing his throat, Link took the lead and said, "Krum, I'm really curious as to why you would attend such a banquet. Do you know who the organizers of this banquet are?"

Link's question was not random.

Judging from his long-term contact with Krum.

Durmstrang has been a key ideological education unit of the International Federation of Wizards since it produced such a shocking product as Grindelwald.

Not only is it not as dark and evil as what is spread outside, but the students inside actually have relatively upright views.

At least, more upright than some people in Hogwarts.

Klum is one of the best.

Almost all of his relatives from his grandfather's generation were killed by Grindelwald. Coupled with Durmstrang's many years of education, his feelings towards Grindelwald can be described as endless hatred.

How could such a man attend a banquet hosted by a group of former Saints of Grindelwald?

This is what surprised Link the most.

Upon hearing this, Krum's eyes suddenly darkened. He lowered his head, clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally struggled and said:

"Of course I know, and I also know that my presence here will make you look down on me, but I have a reason not to come."

"I didn't look down on you."

"I think you...well, I'm sorry, I admit that you are not that kind of person. But I just feel ashamed, especially when I bump into you."

"So, what's the reason? Do you know? I actually wanted to leave a long time ago. It was because I got the bad news that I stayed to see the situation."

After hearing what Link said, Krum's face finally looked better.

He organized his language and said:

"Do you remember what I told you before about Durmstrang's new headmaster not yet being selected?"

Link nodded.

This was something he and Krum brought up when they parted ways last time at Hogwarts.

He didn't think anything happened at the time.

Now that he mentioned it again, he felt something was wrong.

You must know that a normal magic school will not be able to select an acting principal like Durmstrang.

"The reason why it is so difficult to choose the principal of our school is actually because of that bastard Karkaroff!" Krum said viciously. "Originally, the reason why the International Federation of Wizards selected Karkarlov as Durmstrang's The Headmaster, because he was a traitor who betrayed a large number of Death Eaters, everyone believed that he could only work for the International Federation of Wizards from now on, and would never join the Dark Lord again.

As a result, he betrayed the International Federation of Wizards and framed the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by asking Death Eaters to disguise themselves as Durmstrang students!

Although he is dead.But his behavior still made the International Federation of Wizards very angry and made other Durmstrang professors afraid.

They feel that the next principal of Durmstrang may be further suppressed and supervised by the International Federation of Wizards, and may even threaten their family members, so they are not willing to be the principal of Durmstrang. . "

Krum looked extremely frustrated. He pointed at Professor Doug who was chatting happily with the Despicable Alliance not far away and said:

"Just like you love Hogwarts, Durmstrang also has a special meaning to us. As a last resort, we had to find Professor Doug. This 152-year-old professor was once One of the best potions masters in Europe and Durmstrang's potions professor. Although he has long since retired.

But after receiving our request, he still dragged his weak body and resolutely came back to take over the hot position of Durmstrang's principal.If it weren't for him, we might not even be able to carry out the pre-admission notification work for new students during this summer vacation. "

"Then you have a new problem, right?" Link said, "Otherwise you wouldn't be here."

Krum forced a smile out of his mouth and said:

"You guessed it right. Durmstrang should have calmed down after the principal was elected, but it's a pity that the International Federation of Wizards' attack came too quickly.

And unlike what was expected, the International Federation of Wizards did not impose any restrictions on Principal Doug himself, and their attack methods were simpler and more vicious.

That is to directly order Durmstrang's school directors to stop funding Durmstrang, successfully cutting off most of Durmstrang's financial sources.

If it's just like this, that's okay.

After all, Durmstrang requires tuition when enrolling students.Especially those foreign wizard nobles who are obsessed with Durmstrang's absolute pure-blood reputation.If they want to send their children to Durmstrang, they need to pay a hefty tuition fee.

With this money and the difficult conditions in Durmstrang, we were able to persist for a while.

It's a pity that Beauxbatons' Maxim is here again. "

Hearing this, Link's expression started to look a little strange.

He felt that Krum was getting more and more mysterious as he spoke.

Why are people like Maxim, who can't hit eight sticks, pulled out?

At this time, Klum had entered an almost selfless state, and he continued with a ferocious expression:

"She paid a large sum of gold galleons, and after getting permission, she brought Fleur and some other Beauxbatons students to our Durmstrang to experience summer camp activities.

But in fact, the so-called summer camp is just her excuse.

She was actually very dissatisfied with Beauxbatons' defeat to Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament.

So after learning about Durmstrang's current situation, she decided to come here to form an educational alliance with Durmstrang. She claimed that as long as the alliance went smoothly, she would represent Principal Beauxbatons to Durmstrang. Trump injected a large amount of funds to improve the salaries of professors, the living standards of students, and the quality of the school's teaching hardware facilities.

Of course, this alliance is dominated by Beauxbatons.To put it more simply, once Durmstrang agrees to this alliance, it will become an existence similar to Beauxbatons.All the high-end teaching staff and resources originally belonging to Durmstrang will be transferred to Beauxbatons.

This kind of alliance request would have been impossible for us to accept before.

But now the professors are in a state of fear, and some of them want to change jobs.At the same time, Principal Doug’s time in office was too short, and he did not have the prestige to overwhelm everyone!

In order to preserve Durmstrang Magic School, Principal Doug had no choice but to make promises to professors and students to improve their salaries and hardware levels, just like Maxim.

Of course Professor Doug himself has no money. Although he is a famous potion master, he has become dim in recent years and can no longer make potions. "

At this point, Krum suddenly stood up, raised his arms, turned his body in a showy circle and said, "So, you see this scene now!

A well-respected old professor and a slightly famous boy who was brought as a headdress appeared here!

A beggar who bows before a bunch of despicable people!

Trying to get a little bit of sponsorship! "
