HP's Foreign Land

Everyone went to bed late yesterday, and there was silence in the common room. According to Carlo, Rian and Leon were still awake when he came out.

Professor Katenen sat on the sofa alone and read the newspaper by the firelight in the fireplace. Heimdall went in and lit the candles in the lounge. Katenen put down the newspaper and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? "

Heimdall turned the two live treasures by his side, "They made trouble." He bent down and put down the toffee and pods, stood up straight and smiled, "Good morning, professor, any news?"

"The news is all man-made, and that's not the case." Katenen glanced at the "Daily Prophet" on the coffee table. Under the huge headline, there were photos of officials from the Department of International Magical Cooperation, published by Hogwarts The Triwizard Tournament hosted by them has become the hottest topic at the moment, and the British wizards are very confident in winning the championship.

"Are you planning to go out for a walk after getting up so early?" Katenen looked at the three of them ready to go.

"Well, you can't be bored on the boat every day." Heimdall nodded.

Durmstrang and Beauxbatons teams have a time limit for entering and leaving the castle, and they are not as free as Hogwarts students. For example, students from the two schools must leave the castle before [-]:[-] in the morning and after [-]:[-] in the evening. Stay, anyone who ignores this regulation will be severely punished no matter what backing you have.After the curfew, the management became stricter. Even Hogwarts students were not allowed to run around. It is said that the administrator, Mr. Filch, and the deans of the four colleges would take turns to inspect.

In other words, there is no food before seven o'clock and after ten o'clock, unless they sneak to the kitchen. The two school teams are only given the privilege of eating. Hogwarts specially allocated a few house elves to serve Beauxbaton and Durmstrang prepares meals that meet the tastes of the two schools. In order to make the guests feel at home, care must be taken in the arrangement of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Just as the three of them were about to leave the common room, Karkaroff walked in with vigor, saw Victor's eyes light up, and called him aside to mutter in a low voice.As Heimdall once said, the headmaster had high expectations for Victor, and he couldn't avoid a few words before signing up.

Heimdall took the two live treasures and Carlo to the deck first. At this time, the heavy night had not faded from the horizon, and the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy veil. The calm lake was filled with thick fog and sufficient water vapor. The temperature was a bit low, and the two had a shiver as soon as they stepped on the deck, but they quickly adapted. For the children of Durmstrang, the British climate is very approachable.

Carlo looked around for a while, but the faint mist blocked his vision, and the water scene at close range was all boring, so he lay down on the side of the bulwark and looked down. The lake was deep and quiet, as if no light could penetrate it, and there were occasional ripples. Even in broad daylight, there is nothing tricky to see.

"What do you think is in the lake?" Carlo couldn't help asking.

Heimdall, who was busy raising the toffee so that it could see further, shook his head, "I don't know, it's not written in the book."

The three major magic schools in Europe have published books similar to school history, and they can be bought through special channels, but the content written in the books is not very comprehensive, that is, this book will not allow readers to have an immersive experience. Feeling, because their mission is to publicize the great achievements of the school, not a travel magazine that introduces food, drink and fun.

For example, the book will succinctly tell readers that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a big lake, and then it’s over. How big is the big lake, where is it located in the school, and what animals live in the lake? Well, Heimdall made up his own brain a long time ago, and it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he knew that the lake was completely different from what he imagined.

Carlo didn't say anything, and lay down on the side of the bulwark for a while, then took out a small bag from his pocket...

Heimdall heard a "plop", as if something had fallen into the water, and looked back suspiciously. Carlo was still lying there motionless. Heimdall thought he had heard wrong, and just turned his head back, and There was a "plop", and this time it was heard clearly. Heimdall put down the toffee and walked over curiously.

After getting closer, I saw the little fat man holding a bag of stones of different sizes in one hand, and fumbling around in the bag with the other hand. After a while, he threw one into the water, and the waves splashed by the big and small stones were different. , the largest stone is about the size of an adult's fist.

Heimdall asked in amazement, "Where did you get the stone?"

"I picked it up by the lake when I came back yesterday." Carlo answered quite naturally.

Heimdall was speechless for a long time. Do ordinary people pick up stones when they have nothing to do?

Carlo continued to throw stones into the water, and Heimdall propped his chin against the bulwark, watching what happened next.

The stone did not cause any change, except for some splashes and ripples, which soon sank and disappeared without a trace. As more and more stones were thrown, the ripples seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Carlo saw the excitement that he began to look forward to When I got up, the force of the downward swing became stronger and stronger, but unfortunately, there was no essential difference except that the water splash was bigger and the ripples were deeper.

Seeing that the stones were almost lost, Carlo was cruel and turned the cloth bag upside down. The rest of the stones fell into the water in a sputtering manner, and waves splashed up and down on the water. , the excitement was gone in the blink of an eye, the ripples quickly subsided, and the lake surface returned to a calm state again.

"Why is there no movement at all?" Carlo thought that throwing stones down would attract some aquatic animals.

"Is the throwing range too small?" Heimdall guessed.

"I'll pick some up later." The little fat man was addicted to throwing.

At this time, the calm lake surface suddenly burst into a series of bubbles. The two people who were talking didn't notice it, but the pod cat standing on the top of the bulwark could see it clearly.

[Hey, it seems that something is coming up. ]

As soon as Doudou finished speaking, at the moment when Heimdall glanced away from the corner of his eye, something burst out of the water and hit the two of them head-on with a thunderbolt. With a pounce, the thing grazed the top of the bulwark and nailed it into the mast with a "beep". The slender "tail" trembled violently, and the front end was completely submerged in the wood, which shows how terrifying the instantaneous explosive power is.

It was a small harpoon, with rings of green waterweed wrapped around the handle, and the crystal water droplets looked cold in the morning light. The lake water trickled down the mast one by one, and the bottom of the mast was stained with water stains in the blink of an eye. A pool of dark colors.

Heimdall and Carlo couldn't help swallowing their throats, especially Carlo, who sat down with a pale face.

"What, what's going on?" Carlo was still in shock.

Heimdall took a breath, "Probably reminding us that garbage should be sorted and not thrown into the lake casually."

***

Carlo was still very brave, and he didn't deter him. He tremblingly climbed into the boat, closed his eyes and prayed all the way to the shore. His curiosity overcame his fear, even though he was terrified deep in his heart.

The moment he landed on land, Carlo wept with joy. Heimdall felt that he must have a bright future in the field of paparazzi.

"Let me see." As soon as Xiao Ben started, Carlo was alive and well. "Why don't you take a look outside the Forbidden Forest first? Beauxbaton's carriage is parked there." He asked about these things last night.

Victor and Heimdall didn't object, and the three animals set off to the west of the castle according to the simple map drawn by Carlo.

"I heard from my stepfather that there was a colony of horses in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. I don't know if it's true." Carlo kept looking around, thinking and exploring all the unknowns instinctively.

Heimdall nodded, he was also very interested in the Forbidden Forest, and Draco had shown off to him many times.

"I heard there are unicorns and trolls." Victor also did his homework before coming.

The three of them chatted, laughed and arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They saw a small wooden cabin smoking from a long distance, and Beauxbaton's carriage parked not far from the wooden cabin. Carlo turned over the notebook again.

"The owner of this log cabin is Rubeus Hagrid, who is a teacher in the protection of magical creatures class at Hogwarts." Then he muttered softly, "I heard that there are giant blood."

Victor laughed, "You know quite a lot."

Carlo beamed with delight and straightened out his thick chest.

The Beauxbaton carriage, which was as big as a small house, was quiet. Occasionally, one or two students came out of the carriage to breathe fresh air, and then got back in after a while. Watching them rubbing their arms and jumping their feet, they might still not be used to Huo Gewarz's climate.

Hagrid was taking care of the tall silver-maned horse by the wooden house. He seemed to like this extra job very much. When feeding the horse, his face was filled with a satisfied smile, and he whispered to the silver-maned horse from time to time, completely treating animals as human beings .

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the three people approaching, Hagrid looked up, and then waved to them.

When the three came up to him, Hagrid lost sight of the human being, and his full attention was drawn away by the toffee.Hagrid stared at Toffee intently, with eagerness in his eyes, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, after a long while, Hagrid took a deep breath, and said uncertainly: "That, that's the Chimera. Is it a beast?" When he was asking, his eyes were glued to Toffee's body, as if he couldn't pull them out.

Heimdall wanted to remind him that he was a Chimera-like beast, but he gave up after seeing him like this.

Toffee hid behind Heimdall. It is not afraid of vicious challengers, but it has nothing to do with Hagrid, a creature with shining eyes. It is like the Dada mermaid in the magical creature research laboratory. The fiercer you are, the happier it is , Chimeras are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but they are afraid of being regarded as adulterers.

Seeing Hagrid's eagerness to fight, if it wasn't for his strong self-control, he would have rushed forward in no time.

Maybe Toffee felt that Heimdall was thin and lacked a sense of security, so he ran away and hid behind Victor. Heimdall felt very hurt when he saw it.

Of course, Hagrid also saw that Toffee didn't like him very much. He thought about it for a while, and then seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and took out from his pocket, and grabbed a large handful of colorful candies with his palm like a cattail leaf.

Heimdall raised his eyebrows in surprise, it seems that Mr. Hagrid came prepared.

Sensing the gazes of the three, Hagrid said in a low voice, "I've asked about it before..."

Heimdall smiled slightly, and turned to look at Toffee. Comrade Toffee seemed to be shaken. From time to time, he stuck his head out and glanced at the pile of candies, probably struggling hard.

Hagrid concentrated on teasing the toffee, but Heimdall didn't stop him. After a while, the toffee jumped out and jumped at the candy. Hagrid was so happy that his eyes disappeared, he spilled the candy on the ground, and observed his favorite from a close distance. The long-awaited Chimera, when he tried to reach out to touch it, Toffee's tail smashed a deep hole in front of him, the mud flew and the turf splashed, Hagrid was so frightened that he almost sat down on his buttocks. on the ground.

Heimdall hesitated whether to call Toffee back, Hagrid shook his hand without hesitation, the eagerness in his eyes rose instead of down, and he still looked at Toffee excitedly.

Heimdall and the three of them couldn't help but look at each other. This guy, like the people in the Magical Beasts Lab, is an animal fanatic with animal nature and inhumanity.

Hagrid was so enthralled that he forgot about the three guests in front of him.

Heimdall took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said to Victor and Carlo: "Let's go to the auditorium, I guess it's time for dinner after walking slowly."

As time passed bit by bit, Hogwarts Castle, which was quiet just now, gradually glowed with vitality. The students left the castle through the gate in twos and threes, or pointed here from a distance, or simply approached. Look more closely.Beauxbaton's carriage was parked not far away, no wonder they were curious.

Comrade Toffee quickly attracted a circle of onlookers to stop. Some students didn't know what kind of animal it was, so they looked at it curiously. Several girls naturally wanted to touch the furry animal, but they were all rejected. Hagrid stopped drinking, these students fully interpreted the spirit of fearlessness of those who don't know.

When Hagrid publicly announced that this was the legendary chimera, the students didn't believe it at first, and they all laughed, and then their expressions gradually changed under Hagrid's meaningful and deep expression. The girl almost rolled her eyes.

It can be seen that the Chimera beast's fierce reputation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the name alone can scare away a group of ignorant teenagers.

Seeing that the surrounding area was getting more and more lively, and there were more and more shy girls hiding aside who wanted Victor's signature but pretended to be interested in animals, Heimdall looked at Victor while secretly amused.

Victor took Heimdall's hand and asked Carlo, "Let's go have breakfast, how about you?"

Carlo waved his hand, "I have a friend in Beauxbatons, I'll go later, you go first." He also wanted to stay and discuss the mysterious Forbidden Forest with Mr. Hagrid, and he even listed the title.

"I'll get the toffee after dinner, can you..."

Before Heimdall could finish speaking, Hagrid nodded vigorously, "Go, go, it doesn't matter if you come to collect it at night." I can't wait to say that you will come again next year.

"Toffee, don't cause trouble for Mr. Hagrid." Under the stunned eyes of the students, Heimdall took out a handkerchief and wiped the mouth of the drooling toffee, and the toffee obediently let it move, Trust and dependence are on display.

Hagrid rubbed his hands enviously.

Then, Victor took Heimdall and walked slowly towards the castle. The pod cat brushed the toffee with its tail, and followed the two of them up and down. For the pod cat, there are only three meals that cannot be given up.

The shy-looking girls saw you, looked at me, and I looked at you, and followed after a moment of hesitation.

Anita, who came out of the carriage, shivered in the cool morning air, raised her eyes inadvertently, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Rieger and... the man were about to make a move, and noticed that there seemed to be something falling behind them. Stringing tails, Anita squinted her eyes for a while, and was suddenly startled, feeling a sudden sense of crisis. Could it be that these British girls have all fallen in love with Rieger?

Obviously, Miss Slivan was subjective.
