HP's Foreign Land

one,

Facing the unknown lurking around and the enemies who might be waiting for an opportunity, the couple chose to keep watching from a distance before getting accurate information.They don't want to cause turmoil due to excessive worry. The existence of Mionier makes the two new fathers have different concerns in considering issues than before.

As for the true and false Kane, Heimdall and her husband did not discuss in depth whether the transfer student’s frank confession was really heartfelt—after all, the way he tried to arouse Heimdall’s attention instead aroused Crewe Master Tom's urge to drill a few holes in his head.Heimdall threw the question to Victor, and his husband was happy to take over the matter, and the other batches of unidentified personal letters never reached him again.Those letters remained missing until Victor officially retired from the Quidditch League many years later.

Mionnell later took on the fun and challenging task from Big Daddy, but his approach was very different from his father's.According to the proud tone of Grandpa Rommel, he is very Stulusong.

As the president of Durmstrang's student union, Heimdall's intentional avoidance of someone—such as Kane—will be more conspicuous than ordinary students, so Mr. Sturluson took advantage of his position to advocate On top of the system, grade-level management is carried out.At the hearing where the grade representatives were convened, the president of the student union, nicknamed the German School, will bid farewell to the ancient and backward era of centralized power, and usher in a new world where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

All in all, under his instigation, the student union added a few officers and began to try to contact the masses.The chairman of the student union and the vice-chairman of the student union finally got rid of the meticulous work mode of the neighborhood committee and focused on the macro events that can affect the future of the school.

The biggest thing facing Durmstrang so far is the European Educational Evaluation Conference that has ended.

On the day when the inspection team of the European Education Evaluation Conference arrived at Durmstrang College, the entire Durmstrang mountainous area had just ended two consecutive days of bad weather.Even without the raging wind and snow, the temperature is still so low that people can't feel the existence of the nose, but the sky, which was blown away by the strong wind and overwhelmed with black clouds, released a rare blueness. The frowning Principal Karkaroff As a result, his complexion added some rosiness.

At Katenin's suggestion, Karkaroff suppressed the idea of ​​waiting at the school gate to ask about his health, and walked around the room nervously.If Katenen hadn't been sitting in the principal's office—to prevent someone from getting too hot-headed, Karkaroff would have been determined to go his own way.

When Karkaroff unconsciously bit his thumb for the sixth time and looked nervously at the wall clock, Katenin mercifully announced the release.Accompanied by Katenin—or under surveillance—Karkaroff, dressed in bright clothes, walked out of the office and came to the front of the clock tower. During this process, he did not forget to decorate his face with a principal-level business expression.

The chairman and vice-chairman of the Student Union of Durmstrang are accepting the first wave of inquiries from the inspection team of the European Education Evaluation Conference on the square in front of the clock tower.

Karkaroff desperately wanted to join in order to know the purpose of the expedition members' trip, but his impulse was lost in Katenin's coughing.

When the chairman and vice-chairman of the student union led the wizards of the inspection team towards the two principals, Karkaroff felt that his heart was beating a little too fast. When discrediting, he had already completed a warm and consummate greeting with the wizards of the inspection team with a calm expression.

Karkaroff was relieved, and had a new understanding of his own psychological quality.

The wizards of the inspection team offered to have the chairman and vice-chairman of the student union accompany them. They wanted to walk around the campus in order to deepen their first impression of Durmstrang.The campus environment is a very important plus factor.

Heimdall and Carlo are happy to show outsiders the profound thousand-year history of Durmstrang. Almost everyone who mentions the German School will put their first impression on black magic, so that those wizards who are comprehensive can see it. Look, the environmental facilities of the "Black Magic Factory" are top-notch in Europe.

Karkaroff readily agreed to the inspection team's request.

When Katenin used polite words to attract the attention of the inspection team, Karkaroff seized the time to have a brief communication with the two heads of the student union.

"Is it okay to let the three guests wander around the school?" Karkaroff asked worriedly.

"We have planned the walking route in advance and tried to arrange them within the established range. However, we cannot guarantee that there will be no emergencies. You also understand that these experts are here to inspect the school situation, not for sightseeing. If they emphasize We improvised, we had to play by ear." Heimdall said pertinently.

Caro added, "We spread the manpower along the established routes."

"What do you mean?" Karkaroff frowned.

"You can understand that it is the pusher who finds the merchants to hype their products and lure customers." Heimdall said.

Commonly known as - childcare.

Karkaroff said righteously: "I don't like this explanation."

Heimdall immediately corrected, "Let the experts and professors of the inspection team have a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the outstanding talents of our school with the millennium history of Durmstrang."

Karkaroff nodded, "Okay, let's go."

two,

Wizarding detectives only accept cash, and the Muggle underworld does not deposit money in the bank, which has a subtle similarity.Each Galleon is engraved with a specific number-representing the goblin who minted the gold coin. Gringotts has a way to trace the source of every money that enters the wizard bank and its final destination. For goblins , as long as it involves Jin Galleon, there is nothing they cannot investigate and collect evidence.

And the laws of wizards often cannot restrict their behavior.

The goblin's values ​​believe that everything can be valued and clearly marked, as long as the corresponding remuneration is paid, there is nothing that cannot be bought and sold.This is extremely risky for wizard detectives who exchange their lives for rewards. Maybe one day their personal information and other secrets will be auctioned by goblins at a price without their knowledge.

This is not unprecedented.

They agreed to meet in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.This ancient city, which is not visible today, was once the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. As a military center, it dominated the medieval Balkan Peninsula for hundreds of years.The Yantra River, a tributary of the Danube, runs through the mountain city, and most of the buildings in the city are built along the water.Climb up the gentle slope and look down on the gentle slope. The red tiles and white walls at the foot of the mountain are neat and uniform, and the green hills are surrounded by green water. The whole ancient city has a long charm in nature, solemnity and simplicity.

Victor stood halfway up the mountain and jokingly said, "This is my secret base."

Roger Dovano said with exaggerated flattery, "Your secret base is enviable!"

The boys' hideaways were usually no bigger than a bathroom with one-person showers, and the most common size was a tree hole.

The secret base that Victor mentioned is of course not the Lilliputian country armed with strong ships and guns in the children's fantasy of having a general's dream. His base camp is in Veliko Tarnovo. To be precise, the inheritance left by his grandfather to his mother Anna is mainly distributed. In the Veliko Tarnovo region.After Victor voluntarily gave up the inheritance rights of the Krum family, he devoted his energy to his mother's private property.Before this, Anna didn't put much thought into rectifying the "dowry" - she lacked the time and space to be a strong woman, and her dowry seemed insignificant compared with Krum's income from several hectares of fertile land.

The shamans of Veliko Tarnovo have been famous all over the Balkans for their exquisite handicrafts since ancient times—the shaman manufacturing industry is very developed, and more than half of the shaman handicraft manufacturers in the city are employees of Rumelia (Anna’s natal family), so they have become Rumelia Victor, the actual owner, is respected here as "Master".

"Is it okay for you to call me here?" Roger grabbed a thin branch. "Who would easily tell others about the secret base? Unless it's not as important as you said."

Victor said seriously: "I intend to confide in you so that you will work for me wholeheartedly."

Roger laughed, only to find that Victor was indifferent, and his smile disappeared from his face immediately.

"Are you serious?" Roger hesitated.

Victor was noncommittal, and walked down the mountain.

Roger rushed over, and before he could speak, Victor turned his head and said, "The money is ready."

Roger cheered up, and quickly put aside the insignificant hesitation, "Three times?"

"Do what you say."

Roger patted Victor on the shoulder, "You are a good client, I will remember to promote you!"

"Thank you, but there's no need." Victor said meticulously. "I hope that the future life will be peaceful and comfortable, please don't make unnecessary efforts."

"Sorry." For the sake of Jin Gallon, Roger readily admitted his mistake.

They entered a family workshop that weaves handmade rugs. The wizard in the workshop immediately put down his work when he saw Victor coming in, and stood up awkwardly.

"It's okay, you continue," Victor said to the workshop owner. "Is the backyard empty? I'll borrow your place to sit for a while, we won't stay long."

"Yes sir, the backyard is still empty." The workshop owner turned around and was stopped by Victor.

"I don't want others to know that I've been here today." Victor whispered.

"Of course, sir." The workshop owner nodded cautiously.

Victor led Roger straight to the backyard.

Under the gaze of the boss, the workers in the workshop sat back as if nothing had happened.

Fragrant roses are planted in the backyard—the wizards use their own methods to make them invincible all seasons. The wizards of Veliko Tarnovo cultivate roses as ordinary landscape plants, and the extremely rare species outside can be seen everywhere in the small gardens of the wizards .

The two sat down on a stone bench.

Roger, who has no interest in life, turned a blind eye to all the good things. He took out his pipe impatiently, and smoked intoxicated in the fragrance and magnificence of the garden.

"Would you like a sip?" Roger raised his pipe.

Victor raised his hand, and Roger drew back his pipe and took another puff.

"You're good at everything but your lack of fun and the importance of entertaining yourself. No smoking, no drinking, no special hobbies, no bad habits, and I bet you never abused potions. Life is too short, You should enjoy what you should enjoy. Don’t you have to wait to take it into the coffin with so much money? People with strong self-control generally have a short life. I treat you as a friend so I can be so blunt.” Roger smokes like taking drugs It seems to be full of nonsense.

It was the high salary that made him speak freely.

"I don't make money to smoke, drink, and get into the habit of abusing potions." Victor disagreed.

Roger nodded in the smoke, and he became more "reasonable" while smoking.

"Tell me about your discovery." Victor didn't want to go around in circles.

"The three times didn't report to you?"

"three times?"

"A black coat with a hat is very present."

"What does his report have to do with you?" Victor gave him a stern look.

Roger was shocked, and quickly put down his pipe and sat upright.

"Henry Dray is a dead man. I found his tomb in the Caucasus region at the junction of Europe and Asia. If Henry Dray, who is currently active in the Quidditch world, is not a ghost, then he is a completely different person." Roger explain.

"As expected," Victor murmured.

Roger raised his eyebrows at his whisper, his expression becoming thoughtful.

"Mr. Krum, with all due respect, this matter seems quite complicated, and I have always had a bad feeling. The man's intentions of pretending to be Henry Drey may be more sinister than expected. As a wizard with a conscience Detective, I do not recommend that you pursue the mystery of 'Henry Drey'."

"Don't worry, I won't let you go into danger again and take the opportunity to drive up the price." Victor said slowly.

Roger sneered and turned to smoke.

three,

Heimdall found Karkaroff in the headmaster's bathroom, where the headmaster was sitting by the misty bath, still wearing his bright emerald-green wizard robes.There are large and small colorful bubbles floating all over him. It is said that this is one of Karkaroff's hobbies. Colorful soap bubbles can help him relieve stress.

"They left?" Karkaroff spoke first, his facial features blurred by white smoke.

"Yes, they plan to visit again before next weekend." Heimdall stopped three steps away.

"Sit next to me, Sturlusson." Karkaroff patted beside him.

Heimdall followed his word.

Karkaroff didn't turn his head to look at him, his gaze fell somewhere ahead.

After a brief silence, Karkaroff said, "Sturlusson, do you think I'm ridiculous?"

"What happened?" Heimdall asked in surprise.

"answer my question."

"I don't think you're ridiculous." Heimdall said with certainty.

"Don't fool me!"

"I do not have."

"Well, I believe you."

"..." Heimdall hesitated for a moment, "Have you heard something? If it comes from a student, you don't need to take it to heart. Students complain occasionally, but most of the time they just need to complain After that, the content of the complaint is irrelevant."

"It's Principal Prodi." Karkaroff seemed deeply shocked.

Beto Prodi? !

"What epoch-making ideas does he have?" Heimdall thought to himself that after death, he could endlessly make trouble for the living, and there was probably no other one in the whole world.

"He accused me of occupying the position of headmaster of Durmstrang for many years without accomplishing anything. He believed that I had made no achievements in helping Durmstrang to change the injustice. Tell me that he is going to initiate a hearing to remove the current headmaster, Durmstrang needs a real capable person to be the master." Surrounded by bubbles, Karkaroff looked frustrated.

Heimdall was speechless, "...so you just hid in the bathroom and felt dejected?"

In the whole of Durmstrang, perhaps only the bathroom does not flow out of gossip, and the portraits inherit the bits and pieces of the life in the paintings.Durmstrang's headmasters generally claim to be knowledgeable and virtuous, and they can't and dare not do such insane things as going to the bathroom.There are no portraits in the bathroom, and even if there are portraits that are intended to be smashed, they do not have the conditions to realize them.

"I want to be quiet for a while." Karkaroff didn't deny it.

"You are too pessimistic," said Heimdall. "Regardless of whether Principal Beto can set up the so-called dismissal hearing, the school-wide vote alone can bring his idea back to its original form. The student union has not yet received a formal request for a vote, and whether the school-wide vote can be launched is still in the open. Unknown status. Since he cannot vote, Beto Prodi cannot initiate a hearing. According to the regulations, the removal of the principal must first obtain the consent of more than half of the students."

The headmaster's little face gradually turned red.

"In case the student union receives a vote..." Karkaroff hesitated.

"You can enforce that the student union does not," Heimdall reminds. "Removing the headmaster is actually very difficult to operate in Durmstrang. The current headmaster has absolute control over the school. The late headmaster needs to pass more than half of the votes organized by the student union to initiate a removal hearing, and the current headmaster can order the student union Not implemented."

Karkaroff's mind finally turned around, "Yes, he can't replace me at all!"

Anyone with a little brain can hear Beto's creation out of nothing. If Karkaroff calls "no achievements" during his tenure, at least one-third of his predecessors will toss and turn in the cemetery.

"What the living may not be able to do, let alone the dead." Heimdall nodded.

Karkaroff was beaming.

Heimdall said, "Just pretend he's farting!"

"Oh, Sturluson, don't talk like that, it's too vulgar." Headmaster Karkaroff's pose returned.

"Yes, Professor." Heimdall smiled.

"How about the wizards of the inspection team? Are they difficult to deal with? Did they make unreasonable demands?" Karkaroff adjusted to the status of the current principal.

"They didn't follow the route we designated. It's a pity that the child care arranged by Karol..." Heimdall paused under Karkaroff's dissatisfied gaze, "The excellent talents arranged by Jones were not used. The inspection team visited They were full of praise for the greenhouse and the school hospital, and they made a fuss about the interior furnishings of the school hospital. Mr. Follett was very unhappy, because these experts kept asking questions, which annoyed him. Mr. Wright was very happy Cooperate and don't say anything ugly."

Karkaroff breathed a sigh of relief.

Heimdall said again, "Before they left, they hinted that I would take them to the back mountain, but I refused."

Karkaroff originally felt that Heimdall was making a big fuss, but after his own "extraordinary" analysis, his "neglect" of Heimdall changed greatly.The premise of praise is not to praise Heimdall for being cautious, not easily overturning principles, and so on.Karkaroff praised Heimdall for his deep understanding of the importance of tantalizing people, for not showing all his cards at once and putting a long line to catch big fish.

In fact, Chairman Strulusson really didn’t intend to whet his appetite this time. The entrance to the back mountain of Durmstrang has been set up with strict magic protection. Most students can’t even find the entrance. In order to protect the safety and survival of the animals in the back mountain environment, which is listed as a non-public area of ​​Durmstrang.Heimdall really didn't intend to judge it as another greenhouse for outsiders, it wasn't like Karkaroff imagined that he wanted to welcome and refuse...

The elated Karkaroff recognized Heimdall's work, and he sighed with emotion, "Stulusson, what would I do without you!"

Heimdall was once again flattered. Karkaroff has been the headmaster so far only Victor has been honored to receive such praise.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Karkaroff is in the mood, and it is the same reason to talk nonsense when he is drunk. Maybe he will forget it in a blink of an eye. Heimdall once again decided not to take it to heart.

"Sturlusson, do you plan to stay in school for further study?" Karkaroff's eyes lit up.

Heimdall did not accept Karkaroff's kindness, but said cautiously: "If the International Wizengamo makes a similar request to me, it's not too late to think about it."

A basin of cold water was poured on Karkaroff's head, and the headmaster became furious, so he swallowed back the historic suggestion that Heimdall could be elected as an outstanding alumnus of the year.

Chairman Sturluson had no idea what he was missing.

four,

Heimdall, who sat in the auditorium with his legs crossed to watch the school team's training, opened his mouth and took a bite of the apple. A hand stretched out from behind and took the apple in his hand, and there was a crisp gnawing sound behind him.

"Back?" Heimdall knew who it was without turning his head.

Victor sat in the back row, leaned against the backrest in the front row, and turned to look at Heimdall's profile.

"Where's Mionir?" Victor asked.

"I received the enlightenment teaching of potions from Professor Laurent. This afternoon is the first formal class."

"Already started?" Victor was a little surprised.

"Ah."

The professors of Durmstrang’s main course enthusiastically compiled a set of enlightenment teaching for wizards for Baby Millet, arranging classes for Mionir according to the professors’ free time. Both professors and students are very devoted to the fresh enlightenment teaching .

The couple are grateful for this.

"What progress have you made there?" Heimdall asked.

"It's almost the same as we thought, Henry Derry is fake." Victor took another bite of the apple, turned the apple over and brought it to Heimdall's mouth.

Heimdall took a bite out of his hand, "And then?"

Then there is no then.

Victor said: "Henry Dray's clues are interrupted here, and it is unknown who the impostor is."

"Have you ever thought about investigating your grandmother's curse?" Heimdall said his thoughts.

Victor was silent, he had already thought about it.

Heimdall patted his wrist and whispered, "We'll talk about it later."

"Hi, Rigg, Krum!" Durmstrang coach Palme walked towards them.

"The school team is in good shape, what are your plans?" Heimdall asked.

Palme sat down beside Victor, "August contacted several magic schools for me, and I'm going to try my skills."

"Remember to let me know when you're ready," Heimdall said.

"Of course, I'm also counting on the student union to allocate funds to add a few pairs of professional protective gear." Palme was not polite at all.

"How are you and August?" Heimdall asked again.

Palme was a little embarrassed, "We're okay."

"Isn't it boring to be with August? That person looks very boring." Heimdall smirked.

"I'll give you that, I find Krum very boring," Palme shot back.

Heimdall looked at the master who was eating the apple calmly, smiled, and said nothing.

Palme didn't bother, and turned to Victor, "I heard that the Bulgarian team will play against the US team in the next game?"

"That's right." Victor nodded.

"Is your name in the starting lineup?"

In the second qualifier that has ended, Bulgaria narrowly beat its opponent by [-] points.After the game, various voices emerged one after another, among which the most mentioned one was "Krum did not play", and the Bulgarian team lost a little bit of chance of winning in terms of playing momentum.In the eyes of the fans, Victor Krum's name already has a certain deterrent effect.

"I don't know yet," Victor said.

"Come on, don't be secretive, I promise not to tell anyone...except August." Palme looked at him unnaturally under the slightly playful gaze of the other party.

"Probably not."

Heimdall and Palme were surprised at the same time, "No?"

"There is no official notification yet, but I don't think the coach will let me show up more in the qualifiers." Victor shrugged, and put the apple core in his hand on a chair beside him. The core was quickly taken away by the house elf. take away.

Heimdall and Palme looked at each other.

"This is good news for the US team." Palme muttered.

"You promise not to tell anyone!" Heimdall suddenly thought that this guy had a persistent American horse.
