Science students at Hogwarts

"Tuk Tuk"

"Please come in!" George's voice came from the office.

The person who came was none other than Marcus Flint. After receiving permission, he strode into the office.

"Sir, this is the list of Quidditch players heading to Durmstrang." He seemed a little nervous and kept holding the corners of his clothes with his hands.

George took the list but put it aside. He nodded slightly, "Marcus, I believe in your talent in this area. Although I was not present that day, I heard everyone discussing your speech."

He smiled happily, as if he was pleased with his outstanding students.

"Marcus, you are an outstanding captain. I see the unique charisma of the Flint family in you. As time goes by, you will definitely be as good as your father, or even surpass him!"

A faint blush rose on Marcus's pale face, "Sir, thanks to your selection plan, otherwise I wouldn't..."

George shook his head gently, "It is you who make the decision, Marcus, kid, believe in yourself! Without your wisdom, the execution will not be so smooth."

He patted Marcus encouragingly, "That plan is nothing. The Flint family is our most loyal ally. Even when the Black family is in the most difficult time, Flint is firmly on our side."

Marcus also solemnly promised that their alliance would be unbreakable, and then he probed with some hesitation.

"Does Elios want to join Quidditch? Children generally like sports. If he has something he likes, you can relax and focus more on Black's business..."

"He doesn't like sports very much. He is also the designated heir of the family. He is not as talented as his father."

"Oh, I remembered, he is better at potions, right? The youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, the Black family must be proud of him."

Marcus seemed relieved and praised Elios enthusiastically.

"That's true," George agreed with his words. "Marcus, I think the departure is about to start. You and the team members still have a lot to say..."

Marcus quickly left the office.

George arranged the documents on the table and asked without raising his head, "What do you think of Flint?"

"He seems to be the smarter among fools." Draco sneered, "What? Do you want to see which of the two Blacks is more worthy of investment?"

"It's a good thing to be cautious. It's precisely because of this that the Flint family has a place in the herbal medicine business." Elios said casually, and he picked up the parchment on the table.

That's the roster for the school Quidditch team heading to Durmstrang:

Chasers: Marcus Flint, Roger Davis, Angelina Johnson

Seeker: Cedric Diggory

Batter: George Weasley Fred Weasley

Goalkeeper: Miles Blige

Draco looked at the list closely and said with amusement, "Two Slytherins, one Hufflepuff, one Ravenclaw, and three Gryffindors."

"Or two Weasleys," Elios turned to ask George, "Is Percy Weasley's name also on the exchange student list?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Elios also had a playful look on his face.

"There are three Weasleys out of five Gryffindors. The pure-blood family is really always thinking about causing trouble for the fair and just white wizard!"

"The twins' talent in Quidditch is not as good as one-tenth of their alchemy. How did Flint convince the others?" Draco finally became interested in this ally.

"Maybe it's the twins' unique tacit understanding of cooperation. Hogwarts' home field is more important. The other side sent Bulgaria's reserve player Krum and other remarks!" Elios tapped the empty bottle lightly and replied casually. .

"Hmph, the fair and righteous White Wizard must be careful."

"Draco, he doesn't care." Elios stared at the empty bottle carefully, as if there was something inside that fascinated him.

"The white wizard likes to observe things and ignore their development, because he feels that he is strong enough and can control everything, Gryffindor-style fearlessness, isn't it?"

He gently blew the dust off the bottle, "Fudge deliberately created a good relationship between himself and the White Wizard to win the election. The White Wizard sat back and ignored it, even if Bones was more suitable!"

George, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "How arrogant. I think he will suffer backlash sooner or later. Fudge's ambition cannot be filled by a puppet minister."

"Fudge has been a useful minister so far. I hope nothing happens to him so soon." Elios put the bottle back where it belonged and turned to look at George.

George was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look on his face. After a while, he said to the brothers: "Sometimes I hope you are more ordinary, at least happier than you are now."

"Ever since we discovered that man's secret, we have no way out. Don't worry, Flint is only four years older than us, isn't he the same? I guess Slytherin is born that way."

"Okay!" George felt helpless, "Then I guess the two Slytherins are willing to continue helping me make some potions, right?"

The two brothers looked at each other and accepted the parchment handed over by George.

September [-]th finally came.

Today, Elios still had difficulty getting out of bed. He staggered to the bathroom and was startled by Draco.

"What are you doing?" He was a little shocked.

"I think this makes me look more mature, what do you think? Does it look like my dad?" Draco struggled to fix his blond hair back with hairspray and looked at himself in the mirror.

Elios thought of the hairline gene unique to British men, and felt bad. He didn't want to see Draco who went bald at a young age.

"I think it looks better if you hang it down. Bangs make you more energetic and energetic." Elios racked his brains to persuade Draco to give up this idea.

"Really?" Draco was a little doubtful. He looked in the mirror carefully and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity.

"Yes." Elios tried to look more sincere.Thank God, Draco gave up the idea.

Arriving at the auditorium, Elios found that the place had been transformed overnight. Huge silk banners were hung on the walls, each representing a house of Hogwarts. The Hogwarts school emblem hung behind the staff desk.

He looked around and realized that almost all the students had dressed up carefully.

Although it is still the ordinary black uniform of Hogwarts, everyone shows off as much as possible. The pure-blood families all wear family emblems, and the Muggle students wear new ties. Many girls have shiny heads. Pretty little trinkets obviously.

Pansy waved to them. She first handed over two pieces of breakfast, and then looked at the two of them who looked the same as usual, "Aren't you wearing the clan emblem?"

Elios was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that he didn't care because he was staying in bed, right?Draco had been looking at his hair this morning, not thinking about it at all.

Fortunately, Pansy saw their embarrassment and said, "It's actually not necessary. It's impossible for the children of the Durmstrang pure-blood family not to know us."

Draco nodded reservedly and revealed some exclusive news from George - Durmstrang was coming by boat, causing a small commotion.

Hermione was in the same situation. Although Parvati suggested that she dress herself up, Hermione thought it was too much trouble and refused her kindness.

But she didn't expect that almost everyone did this. She was a little uneasy and felt that everyone was laughing at her. She wanted to go back to the dormitory several times and at least put on a new tie or wear a few more hairpins.

Just when she could hardly stand it anymore, the Elios brothers appeared, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that they were the same as usual!She immediately relaxed and finished her breakfast calmly.

After breakfast, the crowd crowded to the front of the castle. The little wizards looked at the lake longingly one by one.

"Have they arrived yet?"

"Hey, I see them! Look in the lake!"

"Where? Where?"

Huge waves rolled up on the dark water surface, and the waves hit the wet lake shore. Then, in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, like a huge plug being pulled out from the bottom of the lake...

A long black pole rose from the whirlpool...

"It's a mast!" the little wizards exclaimed, and some of them were trembling.

The magnificent ship slowly rose up, shining brightly in the sun. It kept bumping on the undulating water and began to approach the shore.

The boat stopped, a plank was put on the shore, and the people on the boat began to go ashore.

The first person to disembark was a man wearing a blue robe like the forget-me-not flower. The blue robe matched his blue eyes. A pointed wizard hat was playfully worn on his wavy blond hair.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he waved, "what a different moment this is!"

There were excited murmurs from the crowd. Elios didn't know this peacock-like man, but he had a vague feeling about it.

"I believe many people have heard of my name," the little wizards blushed with excitement, "Of course there are some people who don't know who I am yet. Let me introduce myself first."

Elios's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin [-]rd Class, Honorary Member of the Defense League against the Dark Arts, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I'm not You can drive away all the female ghosts with your smile!"

“Here, I am extremely happy and proud to announce that in the next year, I will spend quality time with you as Durmstrang Practical Professor!”

The crowd burst into fierce cheers, and many little witches looked at him eagerly. Elios was stunned. He did not expect that Durmstrang could find this living treasure.

Durmstrang's arrival excited all the teachers and students at Hogwarts.

Lockhart's handsome appearance and legendary experience attracted the attention of many women, and Elios even found Mrs. Pince looking at him with admiration.

Krum, the Bulgarian reserve player also inspired the Quidditch fanatics in Hogwarts.

Even Elios was very satisfied with this, because the dinner had a few more Nordic desserts and it was finally no longer all British food.

At the dinner, Dumbledore warmly welcomed these distinguished guests. He read out the list of twenty exchange students at Hogwarts. The cheers were deafening. Everyone had a smile on their face. Many students used their wands to release ribbons for them. celebrate.

He then announced that the leading teacher at Hogwarts was George Black, and everyone sighed with reluctance, with some students even shouting "No!"

Dumbledore couldn't laugh or cry, and kept calming everyone's emotions. After promising that George would only go to Durmstrang this year, Lockhart also said that he was fully qualified to be the Potions Professor, and everyone finally calmed down.

After the commotion, everyone felt a strong sense of reluctance.Parting was coming soon, and some sentimental little witches even cried.

Fortunately, Dumbledore interrupted this atmosphere. He loudly proposed that everyone sing the school song together.

"Everyone chooses his or her favorite tune, prepares it, and sings it!"

When everyone finished singing the school song, Elios found that the heavy atmosphere had become strange. All the teachers had stiff expressions and wanted to end the dinner immediately.

"Music," Dumbledore wiped his eyes, "is more charming than anything we do here! Well, now let us say goodbye to them!"

Twenty exchange students were the first to board Durmstrang's ship.

Dumbledore whispered to George to take care of the children, and George solemnly agreed. He waved to Elios and jumped on the boat.

The moonlight cast a dark, misty glow over the big ship, and it sank to the bottom of the lake as slowly as it had come, and disappeared.
