HP's Foreign Land

one,

When Karkaroff faced Victor, his expression was no longer as affectionate and exaggerated as before. There is no doubt that Victor is still the student who has left the deepest impression in his mind so far—it may be more appropriate to describe it as a cash cow. But Mr. Principal is unavoidably guilty when facing the student he loves the most, because the promise he swore at the beginning has not been fulfilled until today. What makes Karkaroff most depressed is that he has no way to make decisions on this matter, and he has no way to give specific fulfillment time.

"What do you want to drink?" Karkaroff asked Victor to sit down, and turned to see Heimdall, "Oh, Sturluson, you are here too."

Heimdall doesn't mind being ignored, this is their principal's "specialty", and he is used to it.

"I'm here to cheer for Victor." Heimdall walked behind Victor's chair.

Karkaroff showed a frustrated expression, "I think you know it too, I'm talking about Krum's outstanding alumni commendation."

"With all due respect, I always thought that there was no possibility of questioning this matter at all. I thought Victor just didn't take home the medal."

Karkaroff, as headmaster, has to put himself on the side of the school, "Croom is the first student since Durmstrang was nominated for outstanding performance in Quidditch. "

"That is to say, Victor should be honored by this, and then decline the award in all sincerity? Is it because his nomination reason is not mainstream enough, or is it not the type that principals are used to seeing?"

Karkaroff was so taunted by Heimdall's sarcasm that he couldn't refute it, because Heimdall's complaints were very close.

Victor turned back and shook Heimdall's hand resting on the back of the chair to comfort him, then faced Karkaroff again.

He said: "I believe that Professor Karkaroff has been trying hard to argue for me, but the recognition of outstanding alumni is not decided by the current president alone. We understand your difficulties and thank you for your support."

Karkaroff was so moved that his heart trembled, and he immediately assured, "Thank you for your trust. In fact, Katenin and I did say a lot of good things for you, and I am not afraid of your jokes. I am Igor Kaka Love has no right to speak in front of his predecessors, and even Professor Katenin is a headache from them. To be honest, there is nothing we can do. The current plan is to delay the opposition until the opponents forget their insistence. This is not an unprecedented situation. , their enthusiasm usually comes and goes quickly, as long as it passes this stage."

Victor showed a pensive expression, possibly thinking about the feasibility of Karkaroff's delaying plan.

Heimdall knew that the master didn't really care about the recognition of outstanding alumni - Merlin knew how many trophies with Victor's name on them were placed in the display cabinets of the Knights Building, and this man had already won the award.The problem is that if he behaves indifferently, it would be a great irony for Heimdall, a partner who misses outstanding alumni almost every day, so the master made himself look very positive, in order to prevent Heimdall from thinking wildly .

Therefore, the more bumpy the road to the master's outstanding alumni recognition, the more Heimdall tried his best to win for her husband. The husband is so active, and he will make her husband "get his wish" no matter what.

"Professor, can Victor apply for an in-person review?" Heimdall couldn't help asking.

Karkaroff said unexpectedly: "A face-to-face review?"

"If the principals have doubts about Victor, they can raise it in person. Even if they are dissatisfied with Victor, they can express it clearly and correct them. Otherwise, I really can't accept being rejected repeatedly."

Karkaroff looked at Victor, "Does this move by Strulusson represent your opinion?"

Victor smiled, "I will spare no effort to implement any instructions from Mr. Strulusson."

Karkaroff cast an ambiguous look at the two, pondered for a moment, then told them a few words, got up and left the office.

After the door closed, Heimdall leaned forward on Victor's back, hugged her husband's neck and said, "You won't blame me for making my own decisions, will you?"

"If I blame you, I wouldn't have said that just now." Victor placed a kiss on the back of his hand.

"Do you think the principals will agree?"

[At least I will agree. 】

The two people who were close to each other were startled. The curtain behind the principal's desk embroidered with the huge Durmstrang golden school emblem was lifted at some point, and behind the curtain was a portrait. The person is Ms. Jolena Acre, the 30th principal of Durmstrang. (PS: The only female principal of the German school so far appeared in the first school year.)

Heimdall immediately stood up straight, "I didn't know that your portrait was also hung in the principal's office."

[This is not my portrait, it is my turn to be on duty today. ] Jolena said indifferently.

There is only one portrait hanging in Durmstrang's principal's office, and the German school has had more than a single-digit number of principals. After discussing it one day, it was decided that everyone would stay in the principal's office for a full month, and they would be arranged according to the year and month of their tenure. Class, Jolena is on duty this month.In other words, this portrait is equivalent to the duty room of the unit.

It is worth mentioning that the background curtain is usually drawn and is rarely lifted—Karkaroff once expressed his sincere gratitude to his ancestors, so the former principals often excused themselves from work and skipped work.

Victor also stood up, and said respectfully, "You still look radiant, Professor Ackley."

Jolena smiled until her eyes narrowed, [Thank you, you are still so good at talking. ] Seeing that Jolena seemed to have a good impression of Victor, Heimdall decided to test the situation.

"Professor, do you know why Victor's outstanding alumni recognition has not been implemented? I remember that Victor received a notice of outstanding nomination from the school in the second year of his graduation. The letter implied that he won the recognition. The chances are huge."

In fact, Heimdall had never seen that letter, but he could somewhat guess the general content.

[The man who won the award that year was Duncan Orville. ] Jolina pointed out regretfully.

Heimdall suddenly realized, Duncan defeated Victor?

"May I ask why the school commended Mr. Orville?" Heimdall said unwillingly.

【Many, his occupation, the later Mister Magic campaign, etc. 】

I understand that Duncan's repeated exposure in front of the media is conducive to the publicity of the German school.But when it comes to publicity, Victor is not bad, he is a well-known Seeker... However, in the Quidditch world, heroes usually do not ask where they come from. Judging from this result, after graduation, Victor will gain exposure for his alma mater Not as often as Duncan.

The school is too realistic and too snobbish, aren't you afraid that the students will be disappointed?Heimdall didn't dare to ask the question, but Jolena saw the clue.

[Don't accuse Durmstrang of any crime, you're not that old Beto Prodi!He hated Quidditch when he was alive, and he kept doing mischief after death! ] The husband and wife looked at each other, and did not remind her that Beto had actually been dead for many years.

"Why am I not surprised at all?!" As soon as Heimdall heard Beto's name, he knew that this old guy must be unwilling to be lonely again to show his presence.

The landscape painting guarding the door of the principal's office was opened from the outside, revealing a neat and smooth door opening, with Professor Katenen on the other side of the door opening.

He waved to the couple kindly, "I'll take you to the principal's gallery."

two,

The headmaster’s gallery was as lively as ever. What’s dramatic is that the moment the husband and wife appeared, the whole noisy space suddenly fell silent. What inspired Heimdall was that the expressions on some headmaster’s faces could be called “unnatural”—they avoided him With a firm gaze, he believes that these "unnatural" are out of a guilty conscience, because in his opinion, the non-fulfillment of Victor's outstanding alumni is completely unreasonable by a certain principal.

Karkaroff had already been quarreled by his seniors and hid behind the podium at the other end of the gallery, sighing numbly.

"Where should we stand?" Heimdall turned to Kattenen.

【Children, come here! ] Principal Pei Dinan yelled loudly. [Don't give some pedantic and stubborn people a chance! ] "Some pedantic and stubborn people" were irritated, and as expected, Beto was the first to jump out.

[Durmstrang is a school of magic, not the International Quidditch League. I don't agree with letting a Quidditch player win the Outstanding Alumni Medal representing all-around excellence! 】The principals headed by Ferdinand scoffed at Beto's high-sounding tough statement.

[This is just a medal awarded by Durmstrang to alumni to reward them for their contributions to the school, not the Barnabas Finkley Wizard Award, don't talk about it! 】Pei Dinan loudly refuted.

【Pei Dinan, you actually despise your alma mater so much, you are still the principal! ] Beto was furious again.

What's more, there is no excuse for the crime, and Pei Dinan is too lazy to argue with him.

[Krum is here now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, if you can’t give a convincing reason, then this year’s outstanding alumni Krum is well-deserved. 】Pei Dinan raised his voice to suggest.

A triangular-eyed principal from the Beto camp took the lead in attacking, [How can a person with well-developed limbs become an outstanding alumnus? ! ] Karkaroff bravely stuck his head out from behind the podium, "Let me remind all the professors that Mr. Victor Krum graduated with the second highest score in his grade." The headmasters strangled with their eyes.

[Just the second?It's not the first, so why are you proud! ] Beto blows his beard and stares.

[I remember that you graduated from the penultimate, um, both are second, so it is really nothing special. ] The person who spoke happened to be Beto's principal when he was in school, and he was one of Beto's mentors.

This principal is a representative of the neutral faction. The principals of this faction usually stay out of the debate between the two camps. Most of them are veterans, but occasionally they will pop up to make up for it, as is the case today.Beto immediately fell silent, and the arrogance of the previous second was gone.

The confidence of Pei Dinan's group increased greatly, and everyone was gearing up to regain their strength.

[Any other questions? 】Pei Dinan asked again.

【He... he, um, behaved indiscreetly!Students with chaotic private lives, weak moral values, lack of compassion, and lack of decency are not eligible to nominate outstanding alumni! ] Beto simply went into battle by himself, opening his mouth with a sharp accusation.

"Excuse me, where did you hear about it?" Heimdall raised his hand and spoke.

[Newspapers, and the discussions of wizards, isn't that enough? 】

"Newspapers can also fabricate fake news. Don't you know that there are newspapers that publish plausible gossip? Those publications never verify whether the news they report is true. There is no need for that. Grandstanding is their job."

Beto gritted his teeth, 【You mean those illegitimate children, abandoned pregnant young girls, are all fake? 】 "There is no doubt that it is fake!"

【Why are you so sure? 】

"Because I have confidence in my husband. He is not that kind of person. When I was in a relationship with him, he stayed with me the rest of the time except for high-intensity competitions. If a woman in Turkey, Turkey or anywhere else is pregnant, it must be Merlin's apparition."

Victor emotionally raised Heimdall's hand and kissed it vigorously.

Beto got stuck, and Heimdall thought that his words had shocked him and made him know how to reflect. That was absolutely whimsical. Beto Prodi, like all the old-fashioned men at that time, didn't know what reflection was.

【You call Krum your husband? ! ] Beto asked in a daze.

"We're officially registered," Heimdall said.

【...Are you a woman? 】

Ferdinand was the first to clap his hands and laugh, 【Betto, from which rock crevice did you get out? ] Beto came back to his senses, and suddenly became angry, 【What nonsense are you talking about! 】

【Is not it?I didn't expect you, Beto, to have such an innocent side. 】Pei Dinan slapped the table vigorously.

Beto blew his beard and was so excited that he couldn't speak. Ferdinand's sarcasm made him feel ashamed.

Ferdinand didn't intend to let him go, and imitated Beto's nonsense skill back then and retaliated to him.

【Are you planning to embarrass them through this?Beto, please stop, that's too ugly and unrefined.But demeanor has never been developed on you, do you think you should learn to develop it this time? 】【Pei Dinan, what nonsense are you talking about! ] Beto felt a bad premonition in his confusion.

[Because your slip of the tongue hurt our students, you should act decisively and display your demeanor, otherwise our principal's gallery will bear the blame. 】【You said I made a slip of the tongue?What did I slip up? ] Beto is crazy because of this inexplicable hat.

[I don't want to repeat, that's too much, let's stop here, let's forget about that, hurry up, say that you are willing to fulfill your promise, say that you are happy to see Klum being elected as the outstanding alumnus of the year and proud of him. 】【... Do you think I'm a three-year-old? ! 】

[What do you think? 】Pei Dinan raised his voice.

The Beto camp looked at each other in blank dismay, why did they feel like they were being tricked?

In the end, it was the veteran camp who stood up and said a fair word, and then dismissed the next round of counterattacks by the Beto camp. Beto turned his face away angrily, and seemed to still firmly believe that Victor was not qualified to be an outstanding alumnus.

[Leave him alone, Beto is the kind of stubborn old man who would never spare a single day to be considerate if he could be stubborn for a hundred and one years,] Jolena said with a smile on her face, [I am quite optimistic about you, Sturluson , if your name is shortlisted for the nomination list, I support it with both hands and feet. ] "Because I formed a women's Quidditch team?" Heimdall seemed to have a feeling.

[Is this not enough? ] Jolena asked back.

Heimdall shook his head amusedly.

Everyone acted relieved when they left.

"Professor, is this settled?" Karkaroff asked with lingering fear.

"It should be," Katenen also let out a long sigh of relief. "Although Beto occasionally makes a big fuss out of nothing, what he promised will not change. That's right, this matter should come to an end. Victor Krum will be the outstanding alumni of the German school this year."

"Principal Beto doesn't make a fuss occasionally..." Karkaroff muttered softly.

Heimdall was overjoyed, and turned back to give the master a big hug, and the two hugged happily.

Infected by their joy, the two principals watched them with smiles on their faces, until the husband and wife gnawed together forgetfully, the two principals blinked, Karkaroff looked away unnaturally, and turned back from time to time to sneak a few glances; Katenin laughed and admired calmly.

When they had eaten enough, Katenin calmly pretended that he had just turned around.

"Professor, there is something I forgot to mention." Victor said.

"Understandable." Ka Jiejie's gaze deliberately swept over Heimdall, causing the cheeky room chief to ejaculate for no reason.

Victor understood his ridicule, cleared his throat, and said, "I heard that outstanding alumni winners can make a request to the school. I don't know if it's true."

"You're right," Karkaroff had more say in this matter than Katenin. "But there is a premise, the requirement and the medal must be chosen."

Heimdall asked the master anxiously, "Don't tell me you want to exchange medals for your request. What is the request? Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it in my opinion," Victor said reassuringly. "I want to accompany you into the Sages' Room."

Heimdall immediately understood what the master meant. If they teamed up to do dungeons, it would definitely be easier than going to Longtan alone. In terms of knowledge, they could complement each other. Besides, the head of the office always thought that the master knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom... …

Thinking of this, the room chief looked at Karkaroff expectantly, "Is it possible?"

Karkaroff suddenly lost his face, "We have to study and study."

For goodness sake, he's just come out of that horrible principal's gallery.

three,

The head of the department heard the news after returning home on the weekend that the results of the French Mr. Magic contest participated by Duncan Orville will be announced soon. The Mr. Magic selection committee will hold the last canvassing parade in Paris. All activities will end and start at 10:[-] p.m. on the same day Counting.

"The total score of the selection will be announced on Monday." Victor said.

Heimdall wondered about the master's intentions, "You said this specifically. Could it be that you will also go on the day of the final canvassing?"

Victor couldn't help laughing, and nodded helplessly.

Heimdall sighed exaggeratedly, "You were finally used by him!"

Ever since he learned that Duncan had "robbed" Victor of the opportunity to obtain an outstanding alumni, he seemed to have a foreign object in his heart that was not smooth. Heimdall pondered for a while, and quickly dismissed this unreasonable complaint. Duncan is Innocent.

"You didn't hear what he said when he begged me," Victor said.

"That's all scene talk, it's used to save the game, I can't believe it!" Heimdall pretended to be annoyed.

Victor seemed unintentional and said: "Duncan said that he was willing to help me connect. He said that many wizard manufacturers in France seem to be interested in contacting me through him, hoping that I will be the new spokesperson."

The head of the room quickly rushed to the master's side, "Duncan is your best friend, it's nothing to worry about for a friend, you will go wherever Mr. Orville points you."

The master was not surprised at all, hooked the room chief's small neck, "I will go wherever Rigg points."

The head of the room is about to feel ashamed, so Mionier changed into a one-piece baby outfit and came to present the treasure. This cute milky white baby outfit was bought by Victor for Mionier. After wearing this outfit, Xiaomi looks like a little snowman , a carrot-shaped nose and two bean eyes are vividly embroidered on the one-piece hat.

"Mionir looks so good in it!" Heimdall happily hugged the little snowman who was showing off his buttocks.

It can be seen that Baby Xiaomi is also very satisfied, the baby is quite smug, with a big grin.

"Where did you buy it?" Heimdall found that the stitches of the clothes were fine, but he couldn't find the trademark. The master has always had a good eye.

"Kapok Town, on the day I met Palme, the boss said that there would be an event, so I bought two sets." Victor hugged Mionier and kissed him.

"Another set?" Heimdall said with great interest. "What? Santa Claus? Elk?"

"It's also a snowman suit."

"A promotion?" Buy one get one free?

"That set is for you," Victor said in a rather happy mood, eager to try. "Show me what to wear tonight."

The head of the room looked at the cute snowman on Mionier and pretended to be dumbfounded.

four,

On the day of canvassing votes on Sunday, the Street of Wizards in Paris was packed, and the supporters of the candidates who advanced to the finals gathered in the fashion capital with their families. Been struggling with all kinds of complaints and complaints.Fortunately, Duncan still had a conscience, and arranged an internal passage for the master's family of three, avoiding the possibility of being pushed.

Duncan was wearing a fashionable wizard robe, and his hair and face were handsome and handsome in 360 degrees. When he saw Mionier, Duncan ignored the stylist's instructions and screams, and hugged Mionir for fun. An expensive outfit was wrinkled, and was accidentally rubbed by Mionier's little feet... The stylist passed out and clutched his forehead.

Heimdall was about to step forward to rescue him, but he was held back by Victor, and Duncan didn't seem to notice. When Duncan put Mionier down, the stylist who had fainted on the ground got up neatly, pulled out his wand and sculpted Duncan. Don't stop until it's perfect.

Heimdall was hiding in the busy preparation room, for fear of getting in the way of others. In the end, the master calmly pulled him to his side, and when the anxious staff members raised eyebrows because they blamed them for being in the way, the master returned coldly. At this time, the other party will usually take a detour in a sensible way, or return in despair.

"Brother, do me a favor and go see how my competitors are preparing." Duncan assigned tasks to the couple.

Heimdall picked up Mionnier, and Duncan quickly said, "The child can stay with me, it's very chaotic outside."

The couple hesitated a bit, and Duncan understood their feelings, so he asked Mionier, "Would Xiaomi stay with brother?"

"Are you still shameless?!" Heimdall complained about his youthful positioning.

Duncan ignored him and smiled directly at Mionier.

Mionir turned his head and buried his face in Heimdall's shoulder, and Duncan collapsed dramatically.

Heimdall was in a good mood, hugged his son and husband, and left without looking back.

They stood in the aisle where people come and go, and the walls were covered with various posters about Mr. Magic's selection. The half-length photos of the final candidates were posted every one meter, and they were extremely coquettish, densely packed, dazzling , the doors around are opening and closing, the people coming and going are in a hurry, and paper airplanes, owls and other things with and without wings fly overhead from time to time. The leisure of a family of three is particularly hateful.

Victor suddenly noticed something, and Heimdall, who was watching Duncan's poster with his son, asked, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to have seen Palme." Victor hesitated.

"Where is it?" Heimdall looked in the direction the master pointed.
