[HP] Subversion - Destined

Chapter 79 The Arrival of Delegations from 2 Colleges

Some white things flashed in front of my eyes, and after I clamped my legs firmly on Bacobeak's stomach, I finally got used to his speed, and then I was interested in seeing what affected it—it was a dozen horses Elephant-sized winged silver-maned horses soar through the sky.While I was dumbfounded, Bacobeak took the opportunity to get closer to the group of Pegasus, jumping up and down around them as if in heat, and it took me a lot of effort to control it to pass this strange air force and lower its altitude.The group of flying horses seemed to have found their leader, and they followed us and began to land.

Bacobeak slid gracefully across the water and flew towards the lake, and then I realized that almost all the teachers and students of Hogwarts had gathered on the shore, and the little wizards were looking here on tiptoe—what's going on?The news spread so fast, did everyone run out to see the spectacle?Dumbledore stood at the front with a smile, while Snape stared at me with a dark face.Before I could decide whether to fly back to Hagrid's hut in full view or go ashore directly, I saw Dumbledore smiling and waving at me, obviously beckoning me to come over.

I turned my head and glanced at the dozens of flying "elephants" following behind, and suddenly found what they were dragging - a pink-blue "big house"? !When I turned back with a stiff expression and let Barcobeak land on the ground, I belatedly remembered that the teachers and students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would be here today, then... I almost reflexively pulled Barcobeac back. , I turned the beast's head to face those strange flying horses I had never seen before, and a giant witch taller than Hagrid stepped down from the powder-blue house, confirming my guess.

"Potter!" Snape's icy voice woke me up, "If you're rude to a distinguished guest, you'll deduct [-] points from Gryffindors! - Get off now!" Only then did I realize that I was riding on Bacobeak It seemed too abrupt, and hurriedly landed and stood aside.Watching Dumbledore come forward to greet the giantess Mrs. Maxime.

"My horses are hard to tame. I hope the Hogwarts staff can be tougher." Madam Maxim swept over Barcobeak, who was much smaller than the elephant Pegasus but still held his head high and exuding arrogance, and The Pegasus, which may have a little blood relationship, is more like a servant protecting the prince in front of it. "Of course, it shouldn't be a problem for people who can control it so well-they only drink pure malt whiskey." Maxim Madam hesitated and glanced at me who was standing aside, "He... still looks like a child?"

I kept my eyes straight, and automatically ignored those eyes of curiosity, excitement, envy, admiration, and so on. "Ah! Harry is a student at Hogwarts, not a teacher, but I'm sure Hagrid, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, will handle it well - and I hope you're satisfied with the little welcome ceremony I've arranged, Ma'am." Dumbledore said nonsense with his eyes open.

"Oh, is that so? Just a student?" Madam Maxime looked at me in surprise, "Wait, he is...Harry Potter?!" It turned out that her voice could be as loud as Hagrid's.The eyes of those Beauxbatons students lit up.

"Yes, thank you Madam for your compliment, and add thirty points to Gryffindor." Dumbledore smiled brightly, and he got me out of the embarrassing situation with a single sentence, "Harry, you go back to the team first."

"Yes, Professor." Those eyes made me feel uncomfortable, and I quickly returned to the Gryffindor team, and the Weasley twins winked at me.Hermione's expression was indifferent, and I found that the ring originally worn on her left middle finger was gone. Looking at Slytherin two teams away, Draco raised his chin slightly, with a smirk on his face, a usual Aristocratic style, as if nothing happened.

"Harry, when did Dumbledore ask you to welcome them?" Ron asked sourly, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"It was an accident." I replied in a low voice, "I'll tell you when I get back, it's related to that person..." Ron trembled, and immediately turned his attention to the Black Lake.Immediately after Durmstrang's big ship popped up - really curious if they encountered a giant octopus.

Karkaroff is a middle-aged man with a goatee. He fits the wretched image of a Death Eater, with a sinister and cunning look, pretending to embrace Dumbledore enthusiastically.

"What? Merlin! That's Krum! Victor Krum!" Suddenly there was a commotion in the student group, and many people discovered the Seeker who had shined in the Quidditch World Cup.

"I should have brought the quill!" Ron murmured and followed the large army into the auditorium. Beauxbaton sat on the long Ravenclaw table, and Durmstrang was with Slytherin. Draco and Krum seem to be enjoying themselves.Ron stretched his neck: "I hope he wants a few more autographs."

"They're going to stay here for half a year, there's no rush." ​​I scooped up some miscellaneous fish soup and pushed it to Hermione, her complexion was not very good, "Try this, French food, it's delicious."

But at this moment, a clear and pleasant voice sounded: "Please forgive me, do you still eat this plate of miscellaneous fish soup?"

I looked up, and there was a girl from Beauxbatons, she was very beautiful, her watery blue eyes looked at me boldly and curiously, and she grinned at us, fascinated by Ron. .I looked at Hermione, who was fiddling with fish soup in a bowl without interest. "You can take it away." I nodded politely.

"Thank you. I'm Gabriel Delacour, are you Harry Potter? I've heard of you, the savior of Britain, the hero who defeated darkness." Gabriel's voice was very soft, and she seemed a little shy , but she still pretended to be generous and authentic, "Did you drive the Hippogriff just now? I heard that it is very difficult to make them bow their heads to humans."

"Are you going to sit here? Beautiful lady!" The twins immediately squeezed over, "Squeeze little brother Ron aside!" They pushed Ron who was like wood, and pushed a piece between me and Ron. A chair, "Please sit down! Beautiful lady!"

"Is this... okay?" Gabriel peeked at me timidly.

One of the twins put an arm around my neck: "Of course! Our golden boy will never mind, won't he?" The other said: "He wants more!" That Gabriel really sat Coming down, Ron blushed as much as his hair. "You know the Hippogriff is fierce!" "Our Harry had a hard time keeping it in!" "That battle was a landslide," "It knocked him to the ground, "Just step on it with both hooves raised!" The two brothers began to dance and flicker.

I rubbed my forehead, I couldn't bear to see the beauty's shocking expression of being fooled.Hermione on the side poured cold water on it very imposingly: "Stop talking nonsense! As long as you give Barcobeac—that hippogriff enough respect, he will naturally respect you and not attack you."

"His Majesty the Queen!" "I'm waiting to bow!" The twins exaggeratedly bowed nearly 180 degrees to Hermione, which made everyone at the table laugh and attracted other long tables to salute here frequently.

"You guys are so interesting." Gabriel smiled happily, "That...can I recognize it? A Hippogriff named Bacobeak?"

"Ah, of course, if I have time." I lowered my head and poked the black pudding. The girl next to me with Veela blood who kept emitting female hormones made me lose my appetite.She winked at Ron and signaled him to get her attention, but the latter was smirking dully and didn't notice me at all. I'm afraid he only has her eyes now.

Suddenly, I felt a complicated gaze, looking towards the teacher's seat, and met Karkaroff's eyes. He saw that I had spotted him, frowned and looked away, and poured a glass for Snape beside him. liquor.Snape gave him a sideways look, continuing to focus on his dinner expressionlessly.

At the end of the dinner, Gabriel left us to go back to her own line. I was so relieved that I took the time to grab dessert. "Yo! Our little Harry looks at the beauties," "He doesn't even care about eating!" "Come on, don't worry, don't choke," "My brothers have saved a lot for you!" You twins said When I said that, I almost choked to death, and the other people showed the expression of "that's how it is", and it was the first time I realized what it means to be afraid of words.

——Especially when the two colleges were going back to their houses and ships after everything was over, those two people who were afraid of chaos actually pushed me in front of Gabriel. "Hero, go and bid farewell to the beauty!" X2

I gave them a hard look, scratched my hair and said embarrassedly to Gabriel who was blocked by us at the door: "Uh, sorry, Miss Delacour... No, that, goodbye!"

"You can call me Gabriel, Mr. Potter." Gabriel lowered her head a little shyly. The girl beside her who was seven or eight times similar to her but much more mature looked at me with scrutiny. She seemed to be the one. Fleur Delacour who will represent Beauxbatons in the Triwizard Tournament in the future?

"You can also call him Harry!" The X2 twins answered for me excitedly. They found that my eyes were not on each other at all, and they immediately turned my head around abruptly. The voice warned in a low voice: "Don't eat what's in the bowl and think about what's in the pot. The one next to her is Gabriel's sister. The difference in age between you is too big, so naturally you have to leave it to your brothers!"

I just wanted to say that the two sisters will send you off together, but suddenly a hoarse voice broke into our conversation: "Harry Potter?" Everyone turned their heads in unison, Karkaroff's gloomy face reflected In sight, Ron saw that Krum was agitated, but then he was scared back by Snape who was walking with them.Karkaroff stared at my forehead—the bangs perfectly covered the scar, and his voice was even deeper: "That's right, the famous Harry Potter..."

"Fame isn't everything, Karkaroff." Snape said stiffly, his dark eyes slowly shifted from me to Gabriel's glowing red face, and he snorted disgustedly, and put the little The girl was so scared that she went straight behind her sister, and then turned to me again, as if to stare me out of two holes, "Ten points from Gryffindor for misbehavior in public." He said sarcastically to Karkaroff Said, "The savior obviously thinks that no one will control what he does. Of course, the headmaster has always given him special privileges here..."

I was stunned for a while before I realized: "Sorry, sir! Where did I misbehave?"

Seeing that I felt like contradicting him, Snape frowned suddenly: "Isn't it enough that other people can't go in and out normally by fighting in public?" , labor services, Potter—let me remind you that your labor services are scheduled for the Christmas holidays."

"Snape, have you forgotten that you are no longer a professor?" Moody suddenly walked over angrily.

When Karkaroff saw him, his expression became contorted and his lips trembled, but Snape had already said first: "Hmph, it's up to you whether I am a professor or not, Moody. Maybe you have some spare time to verify it Is the hourglass of Lanfendo’s Academy lessened?” It has to be said that although Snape was nominally suspended by the Ministry of Magic for review, he still has all the rights in essence, and even his prestige has not diminished but increased because of the absence of The shackles of the courses made him more elusive, but Hogwarts Castle still admitted the deductions and punishments he made. The gems of the three houses were no better than the previous school year.

Seeing that Moody had no words to refute, Karkaroff didn't say anything, and walked out with his students through the path made by the crowd.Out of nowhere, Lockhart patted Moody's shoulder familiarly: "Oh, you know, Snape's tongue is always so poisonous."

"Your words and deeds should be correct, Lockhart, Professor." Moody's magic eyes turned around contemptuously, and limped out of everyone's sight.
