Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

The days that followed were ordinary, there was no Quidditch, Ji Xing didn't even have to go to training, and a lot of time was freed up, which also allowed Hermione to seize the opportunity.

"What is this, SPEW?" Ji Xing asked strangely while holding the little badge Hermione gave him.

"Vomit??" Pan Xi took a look at it, but didn't see anything special.

"Ha, let me just say, everyone will think it's vomiting!" Ron yelled.

They were sitting on the lawn outside the castle, avoiding the corner of the castle gate, where Ji Xing found it. After all, people from two opposing colleges gathered together like this, and others thought they were dueling if they didn't hide a bit.

"It's not vomiting! It's SPEW. It means the Society for the Advancement of House-Elf Rights." Hermione said impatiently. "Why don't you support me?"

"What? Support what?" Ji Xing still hadn't figured it out.

"If you want to liberate the house-elves, I advise you to give up," Draco said lazily. He was holding a book just to watch the development of the matter, but he couldn't help it because of Ji Xing's question. Live out and talk.

"I just want the house-elves to get decent wages and a good working environment!" Hermione shook her badge box, chattering about her plans.

"Anyway, as long as we pay for this, okay?" Pansy cut off Hermione's speech, took out a Galleon and threw it into the box, took out two badges, and handed one to Blaise. "But don't expect me to wear it."

Hermione watched helplessly as Ji Xing repeated Pan Xi's actions, and decided to give up preaching to her friend. Harry quickly started a new topic, and everyone finally had a pretty good afternoon.

……

Except for the matter of Hermione, Ji Xing didn't seem to keep Ji Xing's life in his mind for the next few weeks. It was unremarkable. When Ji Xing complained to Draco, he was laughed at that he should be assigned to Gryffindor right.

But fortunately, interesting things are coming soon. When they went to the auditorium for breakfast another morning, Ji Xing and the others saw an announcement in the foyer. Because there were too many people, Draco read it out to them :

Triwizard Tournament

Representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 10pm on Friday 30 October.The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier——

"Great," said Harry's voice, "Friday's last class is Potions! Snape won't have time to poison us all!"

"Harry's thinking is too simple. Uncle won't let them go so easily." Ji Xing shrugged, and walked to the Slytherin dining table with Draco and the others.

"You won't be able to wear weird clothes this year," Draco said. "You'll definitely be asked to wear formal clothes."

"Oh, what's the point of Halloween!" Pan Xi and Ji Xing said in unison, Ji Xing likes to dress up, and Pan Xi likes to watch Ji Xing in disguise.

The announcement that appeared in the hall was just bad news to Ji Xing, but it had an obvious impact on the people living in the castle.For the next week, no matter where they went, people seemed to only talk about one thing: the Triwizard Tournament.Rumors swirl among the students like highly contagious germs: who will be vying to be Hogwarts champions, what events the Tournament will have, what the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have to do with them different.

The castle appears to be undergoing a thorough cleaning.Several grimy portraits were scrubbed clean, much to the displeasure of those scrubbed.They sat huddled in the picture frame, muttering sullenly, and grinning in pain every time they touched the new pink tender flesh on their faces.That caused the armor to suddenly shine, and stop creaking when it moved.When Argus Filch, the janitor, saw that some students had forgotten to wipe their shoes, he went into a fit of rage, which drove two first-year girls into hysterics.

"Every time the house is cleaned, Calcifer will also go crazy. It hates water." Ji Xing said cheerfully. He just found out that the stain he hated the most was finally washed away.

"I miss my parents a little. They haven't talked to me through the crystal ball for a long time." Ji Xing said to Draco. It has been more than a month since the school started, including the previous week!

"It's okay, we'll see you soon." Draco patted Ji Xing's head, as if he knew something.

On the morning of October 10th, when Ji Xing and the others went downstairs for breakfast, they found that the auditorium had been completely renovated overnight.Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor on red with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on blue with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on yellow. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is Slytherin.Behind the teacher's desk hung the largest banner with the Hogwarts coat of arms: a lion, eagle, badger, and snake joined together, surrounded by a large letter H.

"Looks like Dumbledore has wasted a lot of work," said Blaise, and everything was too bright around him—he meant the refreshed tableware and shiny walls.

"It's a matter of face." Ji Xing said seriously, and sat down on the seat.

The night came soon, and all the teachers and students in the school were waiting on the lawn, and they were asked to line up. Ji Xing could hear Gryffindor next to him, and Professor McGonagall was constantly pointing out the students with inappropriate clothes.

"Fortunately, Uncle won't say that." Ji Xing said to Draco happily in a low voice.

"That's because no one in Slytherin would make that kind of mistake." Draco paused on Ji Xing's slightly wrinkled collar, and reached out to help him tidy it up. "Except you, and them."

Ji Xing looked in the direction Draco said, it was Crabbe and the others, they were arranged at the end of the line, presumably Snape was afraid of seeing them upset.

Before Ji Xing could say anything to Draco, the crowd exclaimed, and Ji Xing looked up——

A behemoth, much larger than a broomstick—or a hundred broomsticks—was speeding across the dark blue sky toward the castle, growing in size.

When the huge black monster passed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest and was illuminated by the light from the castle window, Ji Xing saw a huge powder-blue carriage flying towards them.It was as big as a house, and it flew in the air by twelve winged horses, silver-maned horses, each as big as an elephant.

"It's so big... how many students do they want?" Ji Xing murmured in surprise.

"Obviously," Draco raised his chin, a woman who was about as tall as Hagrid came out of the carriage over there, no wonder such a large carriage was needed.

After receiving Beauxbaton's students who flew from the sky - Dumbledore asked them to rest first - Ji Xing and the others welcomed Durmstrang who emerged from the black lake in a ghost ship .

"Are they fitting in with Halloween?" Pansy sarcastically, as she was blown away by the wind.

"Oh, look!" Ji Xing pointed excitedly, "It's Krum! He's here too, that's great, I want to ask him how he made that movement!"
