Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

As the snow-capped mountains gradually became clearer, Les also saw the magnificent building shrouded in mist on the mountainside - Vagadu.

There are as many magic schools in Africa as the stars in the night sky, but only Uagadou has withstood the test of time and remained immortal for thousands of years.

The students there are good at astronomy, alchemy and self-transfiguration, as well as the amazing ability to cast spells without a wand. As the master of the mysticism of various African tribes, Wagadu teaches students a variety of magic gestures and spells. In many cases, Wagadu's students do not need a wand to cast spells.

Rice noticed that the campus of Uagadou became crowded with people, and a large number of black spots appeared outside the buildings. They must be the teachers and students of Uagadou.

By this point, Les had understood how Vagado appeared. They came to Hogwarts through a dream.

Perhaps at this moment in Moon Mountain, all the teachers and students of Uagadu have fallen into a deep sleep, and their dreams are connected with the dreams of the teachers and students of Hogwarts. As for what to do next, it is nothing more than arriving at Hogwarts in the dream, and then "burst" the dream, so that the contestants of Uagadu and the leading teachers can escape from the dream together.

"What a magical method." Thinking of this, Rice couldn't help but praise the ancient magic spell on the African continent.

However, although this teleportation magic is extremely magical, it requires a high degree of cooperation from Hogwarts. If Dumbledore plays tricks, the people of Vagadu will have no choice but to fly over like Beauxbatons and the Institute of Magic.

Just as Les was studying and analyzing Vagadu's dream spell, there was a noise coming from Moon Mountain.

Rice, whose train of thought was interrupted, looked up and saw a golden shadow rising at the entrance of the Uagadou campus. He focused his magic power on his eyes and saw that it was a huge sphinx. Behind the sphinx, there was a pyramid-shaped building.

After rising to mid-air, the Sphinx began to drag the pyramid towards Hogwarts. In just a dozen seconds, it ran from the distant Moon Mountain to the Black Lake of Hogwarts.

Rice raised his eyebrows, but considering that dreams don't need rationality, he felt that it all made sense.

After landing on the shore of the Black Lake, the Sphinx opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry.

The sound pierced Les' ears, giving him goose bumps, and also disrupted his dreams, waking up everyone who had fallen into a deep sleep.

After everyone woke up from the dream, they couldn't help but look towards the shore of the Black Lake, and then they saw a sphinx squatting on the ground and a three-story mini pyramid behind it.

A square stone on the pyramid shrank back, revealing a hole. Just when the students of Hogwarts thought someone would come out from inside, a male lion emerged from inside.

Before the little wizards could scream, the lion turned into a tall black wizard, whose afro looked exactly like the lion's mane.

Animagus! This term suddenly came to mind for many people.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor Endru." Dumbledore stepped forward to welcome him. "This is an eye-opening dream magic... Come this way, Madam Maxime and the others are here."

Asmo N'Dulu, the current headmaster of Moon Mountain Ugadu School of Magic, is an Animagus like Professor McGonagall.

Behind him, the participating students from Uagadou came out of the pyramid one by one. Almost everyone had dark skin, so dark that even their facial features could hardly be seen clearly.

After forming a line behind Enduru, they began to look at the Hogwarts Castle not far away.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Professor Endru's voice was deep and magnetic, giving people a reassuring first impression. Rice couldn't help but think of the Auror Kingsley from the Ministry of Magic whom he had met several times. The headmaster of the Vagadou School of Magic had a voice very similar to his.

"There are still three schools that haven't arrived yet. Fortunately, we are not the last one." Professor Enduru swept his eyes across the square formation of several major magic schools and quickly counted how many schools were left.

"Well, another school team has arrived." Dumbledore just nodded and felt something strange.

Professor Ndulu felt a chill on his neck. He looked up and found that snowflakes were falling from the sky.

"Is this true... We didn't bring any winter clothes." He complained in a low voice and led his school's team to stand next to the Beauxbatons School's formation.

It was the end of September, and although it was a little cold in the Scottish Highlands, it was definitely not snowy. However, the snow was getting heavier, and the sky in the north was becoming darker.

"Kodostoriz." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and chanted a name.

Kodostoriz School of Magic, located in the Russian Arctic wilderness, has been very low-key in the international magic world in recent years, and its name is rarely heard, but they did accept the invitation to participate in the World Youth Wizarding Championship.

"A-choo!" Someone in the Hogwarts formation sneezed loudly.

Since it was only the end of September and it was noon, most of the Hogwarts students were wearing ordinary wizard robes, not the thick robes specially made for winter.

The students of Beauxbatons were even worse off. The school uniforms of Beauxbatons were made of silk, and there was obviously no magic to keep warm. Everyone was shivering because of the sudden change in weather.

Les narrowed his eyes: The people of Kodosdoriz seemed to be a little ignorant.

Just as Les was about to use the power of his domain to disperse the snowflakes in the sky, he noticed Rowena raised a hand.

Suddenly, the wind blew up, sweeping away all the snowflakes falling from the sky and carrying them far away.

Dumbledore smiled, clapped his hands, and suddenly thousands of roses made of orange flames appeared. He waved his hands, and the flowers made of flames spread out and flew to the side of each student, dispelling the cold for them.

The expressions of the other magic school principals present all turned serious. Dumbledore's move stunned them all at once.

"Not bad, not embarrassing Gryffindor." Rice approved of Dumbledore's actions in his heart. But if he were to do it, he would have to turn these snowflakes into hail and smash them on the heads of Kodos Dorez's people to vent his anger.

Under the influence of Rowena's power, the snow was blocked in the Black Lake area. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it even felt like a blizzard, making it difficult to see the scenery on the other side of the Black Lake.

At this time, a song was heard from the depths of the snowstorm. It was a Russian song with a beautiful melody and a hint of passion.

The singing gradually became louder as it approached from far away. Finally, a carriage broke through the snowstorm and appeared in front of everyone with the singing.

The carriage stopped, the door creaked open, and twelve tall boys holding musical instruments came out. They stood in two rows facing each other on both sides, and then continued to play the song.

Les:…

Is this the school that comes with its own background music? It really opened my eyes.

Then, a young-looking girl came out of the carriage. She wore a crown on her head, a gorgeous dress robe, and held a scepter in her hand.

As the girl appeared, the snowstorm behind the carriage began to subside, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the dark clouds and shone on her, covering her from head to toe with a faint golden light.

The girl led the twelve boys and slowly walked in front of Dumbledore.

The boys stopped playing only after she stood still.

"Ekaterina, deputy principal of Kodostoriz School of Magic, extends her sincere greetings to you on behalf of Principal Romanov." The girl bowed to Dumbledore and began to introduce herself.

"What an ingenious way to make an entrance." Dumbledore smiled. "This way, please, Miss Ekaterina."

"Thank you." Ekaterina led the delegation of Kodosdoriz to the side of the magic institute's formation amidst strange gazes.

"There are only twelve people from Kodosdoriz." Daphne felt like she had discovered a blind spot.

"Including Ekaterina, isn't that thirteen people?" Astoria responded.

"Ah? But isn't she the vice-president of Kodosdoriz?" Daphne's eyes widened immediately.

"As long as she meets the age requirements, she can participate, even if she is the principal," Astoria continued to explain in a low voice, surprising Daphne.

There are actually schools that take advantage of loopholes and send their vice-principals to participate in the competition? Do you still have any shame?!

"She looks no more than twenty years old. Of course she can participate in the competition." Rice said calmly.

What's the point of the vice-principal participating in the competition? Some schools...

Never mind. There's no point quibbling over such details.

After Kodosdoriz also appeared, only Castrobusa from Brazil and Ilvermorny from the United States were absent from the world's eight major magic schools.

Fortunately, both schools did not keep everyone waiting for long. A few minutes after Kodostoriz appeared, Dumbledore blinked, indicating that Castrobus's people had arrived.

In other words, they were actually the first wave of out-of-school guests to arrive at Hogwarts.

"Excuse me, Pomona." Dumbledore turned his head and instructed a middle-aged witch who looked amiable.

Professor Sprout walked out from the line of professors, came to the lawn in front of everyone, and took out a seed from his arms.

She buried the seeds in the grass.

The next second, a fresh seedling broke through the soil and grew rapidly against the wind. Soon it became a plant that looked like a pea seedling and was almost as tall as Hagrid's cabin.

After growing larger, the plant stops growing and produces a giant pod.

The people present gradually realized what was about to happen.

The pod, which was about the size of a small boat, gradually swelled up. With a popping sound, a dozen wizards in bright green longcoats fell onto the lawn.

After spreading the "seeds", the plants withered instantly and collapsed to the ground. In just a few seconds, they completely decayed and merged with the lawn.

The leading witch bent down, dug the seed out of the soil, and put it in her arms with a serious face.

After doing all this, she looked at Dumbledore and smiled.

"Professor Albus Dumbledore, it is an honor to meet you, I am Samantha Quiara, Headmistress and Professor of Herbology at Castellobushe."

The headmaster of Castellobusch, like other headmasters, exchanged a few simple greetings with Dumbledore, the internationally renowned wizard, and then led his school's team towards the joint formation of all schools.

Only Ilvermorny remained.

The teachers and students of Hogwarts have a complicated feeling towards Ilvermorny. Because the founder of Ilvermorny has a close relationship with Hogwarts, the people of Hogwarts naturally have a kind of intimacy with Ilvermorny. But in recent years, Ilvermorny seems to have been trying to smuggle Hogwarts and compete with Hogwarts for the position of the world's number one magic school (other magic schools:???), so the people of Hogwarts are a little unhappy with the people of Ilvermorny.

Somewhat similar to the relationship between the British and Americans before World War II.

One side sees the other side as a nouveau riche emanating from itself, while the other side feels that the old guy should have exploded with gold coins long ago - times have changed!

It is a conjugated father-son relationship!

Rice thought so too. In his eyes, Ilvermorny was similar to the North American branch of Hogwarts. In this competition, they could not lose to this school, but they were allowed to rank second.

Just as everyone began to wonder how Ilvermorny would appear, Ilvermorny answered everyone's questions.

There was a roar in the sky, and then everyone stared in amazement as a plane broke through the clouds and landed on the shore of the Black Lake at Hogwarts.

The appearance of the plane looks no different from that of Muggle airlines. If there is any difference, it is that this plane is invisible just like Mr. Weasley's Ford sedan.

Hogwarts has the Hogwarts Express, and Ilvermorny has the Ilvermorny Airlift. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a school of magic that originated from Hogwarts.

As the students of Ilvermorny walked down from the plane one by one, Hermione was introducing Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a low and rapid voice not far away.

Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into four houses: Horned Serpent House, Panther House, Thunderbird House, and Pukki House.

Like Hogwarts students, Ilvermorny students undergo a sorting ceremony in public when they enter school. They are first taken to the circular hall at the entrance of the castle, where there are four wooden sculptures representing the four colleges.

New students will stand in a circle against the wall and be called one by one to the Gordian knot in the center of the hall's stone floor to be reviewed by the statues. The four magical statues will consider whether they want to allow the student to study in their college, and if the student is approved, the statues will respond accordingly.

"Like Hogwarts, the four colleges of Ilvermorny also have their own admission standards. The Horned Serpent College represents the wisdom of wizards and witches, and prefers scholars. Pukki represents the hearts of wizards and witches, and most of the students are kind-hearted healers. Thunderbird represents the souls of wizards and witches, and most of the students are adventurous people. Cat and Panther College—"

Les thought it sounded familiar, isn't this a replica of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor? Then Panther House must be the Ilvermorny version of Slytherin!

But who would have thought——

"-- Panther Academy represents the bodies of wizards and witches, and it respects warriors even more." Hermione's face looked quite strange when she said this, because obviously the enrollment scope of Panther Academy and Thunderbird Academy was somewhat overlapping, which made one academy look extremely embarrassed.

Les:? ? ?

No, Ilvermorny, what do you mean? ? ? How come you have learned all three other Hogwarts houses, but only optimized Slytherin House? !

What's happening here? !

Although Hermione's voice was not loud, the professors standing in front obviously heard it clearly. Rice clearly saw Rowena and Helga's bodies shaking, as if they were electrocuted by something.
