HP's Foreign Land

"Since you and Headmaster Dumbledore have already discussed it, why bother to ask our opinion again." The speaker's tone was very mocking, obviously unwilling to buy the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "Is the student exchange system so important? Isn't it just to transfer students from this school to another school! You two are too good at making a fuss."

Madam Maxim did not express the slightest displeasure: "This is a joint proposal of Professor Dumbledore and I. It is only a preliminary idea and has no conclusion. I will take this rare opportunity to share it with everyone." He turned his head to look at the unkind principal. "As far as I know, your school restarted the exchange student system after the war. Why didn't you inform us about it? It's too outlandish."

As if some secret had been exposed in public, the headmaster was very embarrassed, smiled at everyone, and said nothing.

Madam Maxim's low voice sounded again: "I admit that I first proposed this proposal to Professor Dumbledore. The original idea was just to exchange students between Beauxbatons and Hogwarts to learn from each other. I did not We intend to make things bigger. But after discussing with Professor Dumbledore several times, we agreed that it is time to fully restart the exchange student system, so we took the opportunity of the quarter-finals where all the professors gathered together to propose our proposal. suggestion."

"Sorry to interrupt, although the topic you want to discuss has little to do with our school, but I still want to say that as far as I know, Professor Dumbledore of Hogwarts is not a person who likes to join in the fun." The speaker is Liechtenstein The principal of the public magic school, the principal just arrived in Durmstrang today, in order to watch the second round of the upcoming quarter-finals.

The other principals present all nodded their heads in agreement. The principal of Hogwarts has always lived in seclusion and kept his own life. Why did he suddenly change into a practical man who is enthusiastic about education?

"Professor Dumbledore said that if your school is willing to participate in the restart of the exchange student system, when the next regular meeting of the International Federation of Wizards is held, he will take the lead in getting votes for the return of Liechtenstein and find a way to achieve it .”

The principal of the Liechtenstein Public School of Magic was startled when he heard this, and then realized the seriousness of the matter. Mrs. Maxim did not answer his question directly, but revealed another more important message.In fact, in recent years, a considerable number of voices in Liechtenstein have indeed demanded to rejoin the Wizarding Union. With the gradual expansion of these voices, more and more young wizards expressed that they could not bear the inconvenience caused by "closing the country".Young people are eager to go out and have a look, go to other countries, and communicate with wizards from other countries, but the sanctions imposed on Liechtenstein by the International Federation of Wizards are like a mountain, which greatly curbs young people's aspirations, making wizards The mood became more and more agitated.

Unrest in the country forced the Liechtenstein Ministry of Magic to face up to the voice of the masses and seriously consider the possibility of this matter. Only then did it come up with the idea of ​​regaining its seat and rejoining the big family of the Federation.

Before coming here, the Minister of Magic really asked him to let him take the opportunity to find out the current situation with the headmaster of another country, and inquire about the intention of the Wizarding Union on this. Unexpectedly, before he had time to act, Professor Dumbledore had already delivered An olive branch came out.The headmaster of the Liechtenstein Public School of Magic was deeply touched with mixed feelings.

The principals of other schools who were present were no less touched than the principals of the Liechtenstein Public School of Magic. Everyone speculated in their hearts, looking at it like this, I am afraid that things will change.

While the headmasters were discussing in full swing, Karkaroff sat alone in a corner and kept silent, which was quite different from his previous personality of enjoying the fun. Professor Katenin was also in a calm and silent posture, which made Mrs. Maxim I feel a little uneasy in my heart. According to the results of the discussion between her and Professor Dumbledore, Durmstrang must be won, and a corner of the three major European companies must not be missing.

"Principal Karkaroff?" Madam Maxim called out suggestively.

"I can't decide this matter, Madame Maxime." Karkaroff sighed in a low voice, seemingly embarrassed.

Professor Katenin laughed in his heart, this guy is now "conscious".

Sure enough, I heard Karkaroff continue: "You also know something about the situation of our school. To tell the truth, I am not afraid of jokes from everyone here. I am just a nominal principal, and the person next to me is the one who is really in power. people."

Without hesitation, Professor Katenen walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage in an instant.Professor Katenin glanced at Karkaroff seemingly unintentionally, and Karkaroff immediately lowered his head, avoiding the honorary principal's needle-like eyes.

Listening to Heimdall in the corner pout in the room, Karkaroff's evasion didn't surprise him. Karkaroff would always hand over everything related to Britain to the honorary principal Karkaroff immediately. Professor Jenning.Just like the opening ceremony last time, Karkaroff, as the official principal, was willing to give up the opportunity to show off publicly.Does Britain have an enemy of Mr. Headmaster?Or did he experience any unpleasantness in that country?Heimdall couldn't help thinking about it.

Karkaroff's unabashed announcement of the "insider information" surprised the principals and professors present. After a brief moment of astonishment, Mrs. Maxim immediately brought the topic to the "real" person in power, not sticking to the The ins and outs of it.This strong character and shrewd Frenchwoman has always maintained a clear head, which is one of the main reasons why Dumbledore admires her so much.

"Professor Katenin?" Madame Maxim smiled slightly.

Katenen stopped drinking tea, raised his eyes and said, "Okay, so be it, if you really want to re-enable the exchange student system, let us know when the time comes, and we will send someone to attend the formal seminar. "

Karkaroff's old face collapsed, his expression as painful as if he had swallowed Coptis chinensis.He actually wanted Katenen to refuse, but unfortunately, this professor was as "sluggish" as ever, and he was restless at the thought that Hogwarts students might come and bring some troubles along with it.He has been hiding so far, but he just doesn't want to get involved with the British side.But after thinking about it, Katenen was sitting here, and his uneasy heart gradually settled down.Karkaroff tried to comfort himself that if something really happened, Durmstrang's current honorary headmaster Felix Katenen, who is a friend of Ferdinand, would never stand by.

Karkaroff took a sip of the cool tea, which was the most reassuring sip he had taken since Madam Maxim spoke.

After the principals and professors left, Professor Katenen opened the small door inside, and Heimdall came out holding a heavy book.

"Are we really going to join the exchange program, Professor?"

"Nine times out of ten, even if other schools can't be moved, there will be an internal exchange among the three major magic schools in Europe."

"Why so suddenly?" Mrs. Maxim's tone was imperceptibly anxious, and Heimdall, who was a bystander, could hear something different.

"One more helper can have one more backing. Dumbledore wants to get more allies as soon as possible." Professor Katenen poured Heimdall a cup of tea.

Heimdall suddenly slowed down when he took the teacup: "Is it because of that mysterious man?"

"Only Dumbledore knows this." Katenen glanced and found that Heimdall was holding a large stack of books in his hand, including several advanced books on black magic. He couldn't help laughing.

Heimdall blushed when he noticed his gaze. He was magnanimously taking it without asking for it, so he had to cut it first and then play: "Can you lend me these few books of black magic for two days?"

Katenin deliberately teased him: "Two days? That's fine!"

Heimdall's face froze, feeling like he was digging his own grave. "I'll try my best..." he muttered.

"Take it and read it, and then return it to me." Katenen decided to let him go.

Heimdalton smiled happily.

Seeing him holding the book contentedly, Professor Katenin suddenly felt moved, and asked tentatively, "Have you made any plans for where you will go after graduation?"

Heimdall answered honestly: "No."

He was only in the second grade, and Katenen felt that it was too early for him to think about it.

Heimdall blinked and said jokingly, "Professor, do you want to introduce me to a job?"

Unexpectedly, Katenen actually nodded: "Yes."

Now Heimdall was speechless.

***

At noon the next day, in the cafeteria.

"Exchange student?" Carlo repeated with bright eyes.

"I've repeated it six times, that's right, it's the exchange student, the exchange student." Heimdall warned frantically, "Ask again and I'll blow you up!"

How could Carlo listen to it? He took out his small book and quickly flipped through it, saying, "Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable, as for the result, we don't know." Heimdall felt a little regretful about telling the story. Fortunately, his friends are not talkative people. Although Carlo loves gossip, he will not take the initiative to create gossip.

"It's the first time I've heard that our school also has an exchange student system." Ryan said.

"There used to be magic schools in Europe, but they were interrupted because of the war. Principal Prodi once represented Durmstrang in the exchange student system and went to Gardronbo School of Magic for a year." Heimdall revealed.

Caro took notes as soon as he heard it.

"Generally, exchange students are students with excellent academic performance, right?" Rian asked.

"Of course, which school is willing to make a fool of yourself? Besides, it's too unkind to send poor students to other schools." Carlo said.

"Did Professor Katenen intend for Rieg to be our school's representative?" Ryan speculated. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him hide inside."

"I think the professor did it on a whim." Heimdall shook his head.

Leon suddenly raised his eyes and said, "There is a grade limit for Durmstrang's exchange students. Only students above the fifth grade, including the fifth grade, are eligible to be selected as exchange students. Rigg is in the second grade just like us."

"Oh." Rian nodded reassuringly.

"So Victor Krum is very likely to be selected." Carlo suddenly thought.

Heimdall's eyes widened suddenly.

"That's right, Klum plays so well and is so famous. If you become an exchange student, other schools will definitely rush to take it." Rian echoed.

Heimdall looked at him nervously.

At this time, Carlo said again: "Krum is in the sixth grade this year, and the grades just match. The exchange student system will not start until the next school year. By then, he will return to school to get his diploma after finishing his classes in other schools. .”

Heimdall couldn't sit still after listening to the analysis.

"He has very good grades, and he can enter the top three every year." Leon added the finishing touch.

Heimdall was completely silent.

The three friends couldn't stop laughing, teasing Lige was really fulfilling, and there was no such opportunity in normal times!

"What's the matter? He looks sad." The subject of the topic went straight to the cafeteria after class, and found his little boyfriend was sullen as soon as he walked in.

As soon as the boyfriend sat down, Heimdall told him about the exchange student. This morning, in order to let the boyfriend have more rest, Heimdall temporarily canceled the morning appointment, and hurriedly Went to class separately and had no time to communicate until now.

"I know a little bit about this. I heard it from the seniors on the team." Victor is indeed a senior student, and his knowledge is greater than those of the lower grades who don't know what to ask.

"Will you be selected?" Heimdall cut to the chase.

When he asked this question, the three friends murmured inwardly that it was not good. They were actually trying to create some differences between the two of them with evil intentions.

"No, the members of the school team should not be selected. Moreover, if I go, how will I play in the competitions with other schools next year?" Victor said confidently.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Heimdall nodded with a smile on his face, his mood suddenly brightened.

Seeing this, Victor suddenly smirked, leaned forward and leaned against Heimdall's face, and lightly poked his cheek with his fingers: "What's the matter, don't you want me?"

"When I think that I may not see you for a whole school year, I feel depressed and uncomfortable." Heimdall nodded vigorously after speaking. "You're right, I can't bear you!"

Victor just froze there, his eyes straightened.

Heimdalton was at a loss for a while: "Why do you—"

Before finishing talking, I saw Victor slamming his fist on the table and making a loud "pong" sound, and the things on the table jumped, and the students around were also startled by the sudden loud noise. Looked in horror.

"It feels so damn good!!!" He said something to himself in Bulgarian, turned around and hugged Heimdall forcefully, and babbled in Bulgarian that he couldn't understand, and Heimdall was caught Confused by his strong emotional catharsis, he hugged his boyfriend reflexively.

The frightened students only realized at this time that this is the interaction mode of the young couple, and it is too earth-shattering. Thinking of how frightened they were just now, they couldn't help but slander.

The three friends burst into tears. They wanted to create differences, not to promote sweetness. Why did it backfire?

"This method doesn't apply to Rigg. He's not the kind of aggrieved type who hides his worries in his stomach." The calm Leon analyzed the reasons for the failure.

"I suddenly feel that the three of us are stupid." Carlo muttered, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

"Oh, my teeth are sore." After a long while, Lian said.
