Hogwarts in the shadows

When Dubois approached, Fulla introduced the two parties.

Du Bois said warmly: "Welcome, guests from afar.

Let Fulla show you around first, and I'll go and tell Olim, I think she'll be very happy."

Dubois's eyes lingered on Hagrid for a moment, very meaningfully.

Hagrid's face first showed joy, then flushed.

He is usually a little slow in reaction.

But today Hefeth gave him a small black ball to eat in advance.

He could now understand DuBois's complicated look.

Then Fulla acted as a tour guide and took them around Beauxbatons.

Beauxbatons students walked in the garden in groups of two or three, enjoying the leisurely weekend.

Hogwarts students wear their costumes on weekends.

But the students of Beauxbatons still wear the same school uniform.

The girls were dressed in light blue silk robes, looking elegant and graceful.

The boys' uniforms are also light blue, but with white snowflakes sparkling on them.

They all looked at Hephis and his group curiously, and of course, they looked more at Hagrid.

After all, apart from their principal, Madame Maxime.

Hagrid was also the first man they had ever seen who was thirteen feet tall.

Fulla returned to Beauxbatons and felt like she was back home.

She excitedly told Hephis and the others every detail about the magic school.

She took Hermione's hand and walked to the majestic fountain in front of the castle.

The spring water gushed out, splashed on their bodies, and disappeared the moment it touched their skin.

"This fountain was donated to Beauxbatons by two alchemy masters, Nico and Perenelle Flamel.

It is also named after two masters. ”

Fulla gently stroked the spring water in the pool.

"It also has magical healing and beauty effects. When I'm at school, I like to rest here the most."

When Hermione heard that the spring water had a beauty-enhancing effect, her eyes lit up.

She closed her eyes, raised her face, and let the spring water fall on her.

Hephis sensed it and found that the water did contain a special kind of magic and herbal ingredients that were helpful in treatment.

But to say that it has the effect of beautifying the skin is pure nonsense.

He believed that as a master of potions, Fulla would be able to tell the difference.

However, looking at this clear spring water can indeed bring people a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

Thereby reducing stress and fatigue and making people look radiant.

It is true that it has a beautifying effect.

Not long after, Madame Maxime and Dubois walked towards the fountain together.

Madame Maxime still keeps her signature hairstyle.

Her long black hair was carefully tied into a sparkling bun.

She was dressed in an elegant black satin gown, studded from neck to fingertips with brilliant opals.

As soon as Hagrid saw Madame Maxime, his eyes began to light up.

He rubbed his feet restlessly on the ground.

If it were someone else, such an action might not be noticeable.

But Hagrid...

Madame Maxime first glanced at the students around her.

Those students who were originally full of curiosity and ready to watch the show immediately scattered and walked quickly into the castle.

However, every window in the castle was crowded with curious heads.

They are not stupid.

A tall man of the same height as Madame Maxime suddenly visited.

You can tell with your toes that there will be melons to eat soon.

"Hagrid, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to school?"

Madame Maxime could naturally guess what the students were thinking.

She looked at Hagrid with some resentment.

This guy didn't come earlier, he had to come just before school started.

Isn't this a joke to the students?

"I...I originally wanted to..."

Although Hagrid now has the bonus of his shadow's intelligence.

But facing the person he missed so much, he still seemed a little incoherent.

He even forgot the lines that Hephis had prepared for him in advance.

"Ahem." Hephis coughed twice to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Mainly, Hagrid wanted to give you a surprise. Please wait."

The magic power in him began to surge.

Suddenly, there was a surge of wind all around, but the strong wind did not affect the people around him.

The originally clear sky suddenly became pitch dark as if covered by a huge black curtain.

Madame Maxime and DuBois's expressions suddenly changed.

If they hadn't known that Hephis would not attack them, they would have drawn their wands and prepared to fight.

Balls of light flew out from Hephaestus' body and hung on the black curtain like stars twinkling in the night sky.

In the magical garden of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, flowers also bloomed, emitting charming fragrance.

Their colors constantly change, from pink blue to fiery red, and finally freeze on dazzling gold.

Colorful butterflies dance in the air.

Then they fell down one after another, forming an arch bridge under the feet of Hagrid and Madame Maxime.

There is also a heart-shaped arch woven with flowers and vines in the middle of the bridge.

The water column in the fountain suddenly sprayed out brilliant magical light.

Intertwined in the air formed a heart-shaped pattern and the two people's names.

Once they were done, Hephis slowly backed away with Hermione and Fura.

Hephis saw Hagrid standing there at a loss, as if he was also shocked by the scene.

He pursed his lips helplessly.

He manipulated Hagrid's shadow, attached it to Hagrid's legs, and controlled Hagrid to walk onto the bridge.

Hagrid did hesitate at first.

But since his legs started moving involuntarily, he also reacted.

Then he finally took firm steps, walked to the center of the bridge, and stood under the heart-shaped arch.

Madame Maxime's face was full of shock at this time, but there was a hint of sweetness and happiness in her eyes.

Du Bois smiled widely, gently pulled Madame Maxime's hand, and then stepped aside.

Madame Maxime walked slowly onto the arch bridge, her steps appearing very elegant and calm.

The two stood in the middle of the arch bridge, looking at each other.

Hagrid's nervousness dissipated at this moment, replaced by his unique domineering attitude.

"Olym Maxim."

Hagrid's voice was not loud, but it was full of affection.

“From the moment I first saw you.

I know that your light can no longer be absent in my life.

Your wisdom, courage and kindness have built a beacon in my heart.

I am willing to spend the rest of my life protecting this beauty and experiencing the ups and downs of life with you.

Please allow me to be the one who can always be by your side."

Tears welled up in Madame Maxime's eyes.
