HP's Foreign Land

The sight outside the col took Heimdall's breath away.

"How many people do you have to have here?" He sighed in awe, stepping on the soft grass and slowly merging with the magnificence until he became a part of it.

Young dreamers from all over the world gather here to share a feast, wandering in the endless green sea.All kinds of tents can be seen here and there all over the plain.It seems to be filled with ten thousand national flags.These tents are painted with school emblems, college emblems, family emblems... The colors are colorful and eye-catching, none of the tents are blank outside, and some tents are even wrapped from head to toe with colorful emblem patterns, as if the tent itself is a tower standing between the sky and the earth. symbols of.

All kinds of conversations slid past my ears, mixed with you chasing me, laughing and cursing.The venue of the Sugar Mouse Contest seemed to be a Muggle amusement park, and every contestant was a visitor to the park, without the solemnity and solemnity that an international competition should have.

One tent after another was left behind by them. When the two turned into another open place, Xiabi finally stopped. He turned his head and said with a smile, "Here we are, this will be our home for the next month and a half."

It was an intersecting indigo and crimson tent. From the outside, it looked as simple as the others of the same kind lined up around it, without any extra decorations. It was not surprising or inconspicuous.The only thing that is a bit special is that there is no badge on it, no badge at all.

Heimdall speculated that the red and blue colors of the tent might be taken from the colors of the Liechtenstein flag...

Mr. Adam Cross stood at the door with his chest folded like a door god and looked straight ahead. His body was as tall and straight as an iron tower, his facial features were stiff, his expression was not friendly, and his cold eyes were also unstoppable. Ignore...these details convey the message unreservedly to the two who have just walked into the tent: Mr. Claus is not happy.

Heimdall, who was following Xiabi, even guessed whether he had gone to the wrong place.Does this man not welcome him?If so, why write to him?

"Adam, is this your attitude towards international friends?" Xiabi stretched his face disapprovingly: "Who are you going to show this to? Me? Or our new guest, our partner for the next month and a half?"

Those hazel eyes suddenly swept over, staring at Heimdall with aggressive probing and scrutiny.It's not a good feeling to be judged by others, not to mention that the person in front of you is said to be working with him for a month and a half. Therefore, Heimdall feels that at this moment, he is more like accepting the eyes of a tricky recruiter from a certain company than Ling Chi. Friendly interactions between underage wizards.

Merlin, does this arrangement make you feel very interesting? !

About 5 minutes later, Mr. Iron Tower's expression was slightly relaxed, his eyes were restrained, his arms were lowered, and he planned to "be a man again".

"Good job, my friend." Mr. Iron Tower told Xia Bi, his tone was a little blunt, but his face was far more gentle and polite than his face just now.

Sharpie's reaction was interesting: Heimdall saw the Hufflepuff look back and roll his eyes expressionlessly, and he did so outright in front of Adam Cross.

Adam Cross suddenly strode up to Heimdall, and lowered his body and brought his face closer, so that the two of them were nose to nose, and their exhaled breath was sprayed directly into each other's face.Heimdall had never been this close to anyone before, and the sudden closeness made him subconsciously take a step back.However, Mr. Iron Tower grasped his shoulders quickly and stabilized him.Adam Krause's touch is soft, and for his size, he strikes a friendly hand.

Heimdall didn't move under his gaze, mainly because the other party didn't let him move.Not sure what this man was going to do, there was no malicious hostility in his expression, and there was no loss in being looked at twice, so Heimdall relaxed and let it go.

Adam Cross suddenly let go of his hand and took a step back, which was as abrupt and incomprehensible as his hasty approach.

"I have to say that you are lucky, Xia Pei." Adam Krause looked away at Hufflepuff, with a playful expression on his face: "Even if he is an empty-headed idiot, I won't have a single complaint." After leaving this sentence, Mr. Iron Tower snorted, turned and walked out of the tent.

This "idiot" doesn't mean him, does he?Although not completely sure, Heimdall feels that the answer is beyond doubt.

There was a brief silence in the tent.

For a moment, Heimdall even considered leaving here immediately, but this hasty idea was denied by himself as soon as it appeared.The peak period for the next round of the underage wizard contest will appear in April next year. If he abstains now, it is equivalent to giving up this semester.Heimdall does not plan to leave the laboratory. He can be the head of the laboratory, but it doesn't matter. The problem is that if he is not the head of the laboratory, he is nothing.He didn't want to give up lightly, and he couldn't be asked to step down by the school before everything started for no reason.At least wait until he has struggled, persevered, and worked hard. If he still can't do it, then he will take the initiative to leave and never want to fight.

"Can you explain to me what's going on?" Heimdall asked calmly. "It seems that Mr. Claus doesn't welcome me. If that's the case, why did he invite me?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xiabi's face, and he smiled helplessly, "It's better to settle down first, your luggage..."

"Please tell me now." Heimdall resolutely rejected his proposal, and even stepped forward to take back his luggage and cloak from the other party: "Although it may not help me to know, but since I have been If you are invited here, then I have the right to know. You still say everything you can. I still have time to find another place before the 30th." You are here, but you can't go back casually.Thinking of those freshmen who were full of enthusiasm and hope, Heimdall decided that he would stay here even if tent after tent came to him asking for team balance, besides, he still had an individual competition to participate in.

Hearing Heimdall's intention not to stay longer, coupled with his ready-to-go posture, Xiabi didn't dare to hide any more, and hurriedly dragged him to the innermost reception area of ​​the tent.It was only then that Heimdall realized that the tent was ridiculously large, and both the furnishings and the division of space were very elegant.

The reception area is elevated to the second floor, and a large double-opening window is hung on a high place, allowing the sunlight to slant in, making the entire reception area spacious and bright, adding a sense of openness and brightness.Each chair is covered with silk upholstery, and the embroidery patterns on the cushions are complicated and exquisite. The round table is covered with snow-white linen cloth, with fluffy and soft gold tassels hanging from the four corners of the cloth. The style of the chairs is simple, The materials and workmanship are very particular.

When he was in England, Heimdall had heard that wizards in Liechtenstein were very rich. In this country, the Engel coefficient was very small in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world.No wonder the Ministry of Magic of the country dared to directly challenge Pierre Bonacourt (the first president of the International Federation of Magicians) to break with the public, and finally withdrew from the Wizarding Union. People still live well.

When the two sat down, Xiabi said straight to the point: "I think it's better for me to remind you that the names of the three of us have been reported, and our team has been recorded, which means that from now on, I, Adam And you, Heimdall Strulusson, are grasshoppers tied to a rope. As long as one of them withdraws, the team will be broken up, and the remaining two will also give up the team for this competition Competition." In other words, the three of them are already in a situation where all of them are damaged.

Heimdall couldn't laugh or cry, "Your actions are too fast, Mr. Claus obviously looks very unhappy."

Shabby shook his head: "He has no choice. He is not angry with you, but angry with himself."

Angry at himself?Heimdall didn't think so. If he was really angry with himself, his actions just now constituted venting his anger.

Although Heimdall didn't change his face, Xiabi knew that he was dissatisfied. Adam's attitude really needs to be improved. This should not be the treatment that an invited player should receive.After thinking about it, Xiabi decided to confess that since Sturlusson had joined, he should tell others what he should know as a team member, otherwise, what kind of teamwork would there be?

"Actually, Adam was looking at another student, not you. That student is very famous in the field of competitions. He has participated in many well-known competitions and achieved good results. He is the favorite for every team to win. "

Heimdall is not surprised. If you want to be famous or not, you need to be capable or not. The most important thing is that people don't know you, so why should they put chips on you.

Seeing that he didn't have any adverse reactions, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction, Xiabi made up his mind, and even developed a lot of good feelings for Heimdall, and his tone became softer: "As soon as he received the list on the 20th, he will send it to you." After receiving the invitation letter, the other party also agreed."

In other words, it was blown in the end, otherwise why would he be sitting here?Heimdall asked, "Why didn't it work?"

Xiabi glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "It is said that that person received many invitation letters at the same time, first he agreed to each one, and finally selected the team that is most conducive to winning the award to officially join."

Which is to say that Mr. Adam Cross' ego has taken a hit.In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can’t blame the "favorite for winning the award". Judging from his actions, this person is definitely a realist. Xi's actions are very reasonable.

A trace of curiosity rose in Heimdall's heart: "Why did Mr. Claus choose me?"

Xiabi smiled, and rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly: "It wasn't he who chose it, but I chose it, no, it should be said that, I suggested him to choose it." He looked at Heimdall, tentatively Q: "Do you remember Cedric Diggory?"

Heimdall frowned and thought for a while: Ah, that Grigovich...

"Remember, we met once at Ollivander's store."

Seeing him, Shabby immediately said, "He is my friend, we study in the same college. Cedric once told me about you, which made me a little curious about you, and Dems Trump broke the convention this year and sent people to participate in this competition, so I just..."

"I understand." Heimdall did understand, and after a long time he took advantage of a lot of inexplicable other benefits to successfully qualify.

Xiabi found that his face was not right, and thought he was worried about the future, so he comforted him, "Don't worry about Adam, since he accepted you, he would never make things difficult for you. He is not that kind of person. After a long time with him, you can understand, He’s still pretty easy going.”

Heimdall raised one eyebrow: "'Even if he was a mindless idiot, I wouldn't complain.' What does this sentence mean?"

Xiabi burst out laughing: "Please don't get me wrong, there is no malicious intent in these words."

Yeah?Heimdall narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"He's complimenting you."

"Mr. Krause's contrarian thinking is breathtaking."

Sharpie felt that the expression on the boy's face was very lively and interesting: "In Adam's view, any good thing deserves his magnanimity."

"What do you mean?"

Xiabi smiled and said, "Don't you know you're a beauty, Stulusson?"

Heimdall was stunned by the "beauty", and he smiled reluctantly, "I'm honored that you think so."

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is that Adam thinks so."

"That is to say, in Mr. Claus's heart, even if I am hopelessly stupid, I can be forgiven?!"

"Adam likes beautiful things, and he treats beautiful people kindly." At this point, Xiabi blinked and asked in surprise, "Has no one ever praised your appearance?"

Heimdall shook his head.

"No wonder." Xiabi patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and said earnestly: "You are a beauty, there is no doubt about it. You should thank Merlin for this, appearance is destined by nature, and being beautiful is a blessing from God, It’s the benefits I get. I also like to get along with beauties, watching beautiful scenery can make my body and mind happy, and doing things like this can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Heimdall stared at him for a long while, unable to say anything for a long time: I dare to say that these two people belong to the Appearance Association!
