Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 705 Magic Garden

   It is said that the magic garden is located somewhere in Europe.

  In order to prevent poachers and some greedy people from destroying and plundering the magic garden, the International Federation of Wizards hid the magic garden centuries ago.

  Most wizards don't even know there is such a place, let alone know the exact location of the magic garden.

   Nowadays, magic gardens are only circulated in circles of pharmacists and herbalists.

   Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Hogwarts' Thestral carriage to go directly to the Magic Garden. Their destination is the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.

  According to the past practice, the school teams participating in the Magic School Potion Championship will meet at the temporary base, and then use the Portkey together to go to the magic garden.

  Yes, if you want to go to the magic garden, you must use a special door key.

  Like the Azkaban prison in England, its purpose is to keep other wizards from knowing the specific location of the magic garden.

  However, many wizards once speculated that the magic garden was in France, or in the forests near France, but those greedy people jointly searched the entire France and the surrounding forests, but still did not find any trace of the magic garden.

  Professor Slughorn told the two of these news, and he naturally didn't know the exact location. It is said that all the wizards he knew were "The Silent Man" and they all swore to protect the magic garden.

  However, Albert felt that Hetok Dagworth should know the specific location of the magic garden, or be able to go to the magic garden at any time, which is some privilege of the potion master.

  When the Thestral carriage arrived in France, it was almost dusk, and the sky was dyed fiery red by the sunset. The Thestral carriage flew towards the Pyrenees, the border between France and Spain. Looking down from the window of the carriage, one could see a beautiful French-style palace in the mountains: Beauxbaton Castle.

  Of course, if it is a Muggle, passing here can only see a fog.

Like Hogwarts, Beauxbaton Castle is protected by countless magics. This beautiful castle is surrounded by majestic gardens and fountains built by magic. He took out his camera from his seamless stretch bag, and took a few photos of the French palace below.

  The carriage began to **** downward, and the Thestral carriage landed on the outermost lawn.

   There was no warm welcome, no warm French girls, only two people came to greet them, one of them was a very tall woman, as tall as Hagrid. Albert recognized at a glance that the other party should be Olim Maxim, the principal of the Beauxbaton School of Magic in France.

  Hagrid looked at Olim Maxim in a daze, then seemed to think of something, and hurried over to open the door of the carriage.

   "I thought Dumbledore would lead the team."

  Madam Maxim raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the fat old man coming out of the carriage, a little surprised and puzzled.

  Professor Slughorn was a little confused. He couldn't understand French, but it didn't matter. Dumbledore told him that Albert could understand, so...he looked at Albert and waited for the other party to translate for him.

  The number of wizards like Dumbledore who can understand the languages ​​of various countries is too small.

   "Some troubles happened at the school, and Dumbledore couldn't get away." Slughorn smiled and kissed the back of the other's hand.

  Maxim didn't care. He looked at Albert, who got off the carriage and interpreted for them. There was no change of emotion on his face, but his eyes still stayed on Albert for a while.

   "Karkaroff has come, they are resting, come with me!" Mrs. Maxim led a group of people to a remote area outside the school, where a tent was set up.

  Yes, it is a tent.

   There is no welcome ceremony, no welcome banquet, just a small tent!

   That's right, this is just a temporary gathering place.

   There is a lot of space inside the tent. There is a table in the middle that can accommodate a dozen people, and there are sofas on both sides, but they are far away from each other.

  The principal of Durmstrang College, Karkaroff, was talking to his students. After hearing footsteps, everyone in the tent looked towards the door.

"Let's sit down and have dinner first. We were supposed to go to the magic garden for dinner, but when I received the door key, I was told by the other party that the time we passed was nine o'clock in the evening." After Madam Maxim finished speaking, she said They were served a sumptuous French meal by a group of house-elves.

There were eleven people at the dining table. Durmstrang Academy and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had enough three people, but Hogwarts had only two people who seemed out of place, and one of them was also a part-time translator, making the tent The girls all cast their gazes appreciatively.

  Handsome, handsome, gentle and comfortable, and Albert is also the current International Wizards Chess champion, so he has attracted the attention of the girls present, and they are all secretly looking at him.

  Who doesn't like handsome guys?

  Even if it is not your own, at least it is eye-catching.

   While everyone was eating, Albert found a beautiful girl in a light blue silk robe waving at him. And the two Durmstrang College boys who had been staring at her followed her gaze and cast unfriendly glances at Albert.

   In the face of unkind hostility, Albert didn't care. Anyway, we were all opponents, but these two guys were too stupid to be affected by each other's charm.

   "Do you know a lot of beautiful girls?"

   Isobel's voice rang in Albert's ear.

   "We met each other once at Mr. Delacour's wedding. They should be Miss Louise's relatives." Albert said without thinking. The beautiful French girl obviously has Veela blood.

   "I didn't expect you to still remember."

  Isobel's smiling appearance made Albert suddenly regret answering this question. Sure enough, he should pretend that he didn't know him just now.

   "Her name is Alice, and she seems to have snatched Louise's boyfriend." Albert said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

   "You're in big trouble!"

  Isobel looked up at Miss Alice, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, almost colliding with sparks.

  Isobel just nodded slightly at the other party, then looked away.

   With just one glance, Isobel can understand the little thought of the other party. She knew Alice's sinister intentions to seduce Albert.

  Isobel thought it was quite interesting. She didn't think that woman could succeed, and Albert could definitely guess it. However, if she wasn't going to help stop this trouble, she should let Albert know that people's hearts are sinister, lest he use his charm to seduce beautiful girls around.

snort!

   It's not like she didn't realize that the girls in the tent were all peeping at Albert.

   It wasn't until after the dinner that Albert knew what trouble Isobel was talking about.

  Two beautiful girls from Beauxbaton School of Magic came over to talk to Albert, and invited him to visit Beauxbaton School of Magic with a smile.

  After seeing Alice's charming smile, Albert even lost his mind for a moment, but he quickly recovered, nodded and agreed, and suggested that everyone go together.

  The charming smile on Alice's face gradually froze.

Everyone thought Albert's proposal was good. Anyway, they would have to wait here for a few more hours, and Mrs. Maxime didn't object, so she asked her students to take others around and let them Take in the views from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

   "My name is Mary. Louise mentioned you in a letter. He said that you will definitely participate in the competition and will make Alice deflated."

  Another French girl sneaked up to talk to Albert while Alice was fascinated by the two Durmstrang boys.

   "Maybe I already have a girlfriend." Albert said tactfully.

   "I know, I mean nothing else."

  Mary's expression became more and more weird, she rolled her eyes at Isobel and reminded: "You'd better be careful of Alice's charm, that woman is best at using her charm to seduce other boys, fascinate them before abandoning them."

   "I have confidence in Albert."

   "You speak French really fluently."

"Thanks."

   Everyone walked around the school and saw the fountain built by the LeMay couple. The statue of the fountain is the young appearance of the LeMay couple and is named after them.

   It is said that this fountain is a dating site for lovers of the Beauxbaton School of Magic.

   "I heard the legend of this fountain, and it is said that the spring water has the effect of repairing and beautifying." Albert cast an inquiring gaze at Mary.

   "Those are just exaggerated rumors. If you don't believe me, you will know after taking a sip." Mary explained with a smile.

   Albert took some water from the spring with a paper cup, took a sip, and felt that it was no different from ordinary spring water.

After nine o'clock, everyone gathered around the school. Mrs. Maxim took out a crutch and asked each of them to reach for the crutch. Then she took out a pocket watch from her pocket and started counting down, waiting for the key to open the door. time.

   When counting to one, Albert felt pulled forward by an irresistible momentum, and his feet flew off the ground.

  There seemed to be countless scenes passing by in front of his eyes, and Albert couldn't see clearly at all.

   I don't know how long it took, Albert finally felt the feeling of his feet landing on the ground again. No one fell down, but it was not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that traveling with the Portkey was not pleasant.

   "Can't they find a more gentle way?" Professor Slughorn grumbled, clearly disliking this form of travel.

   "Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's team."

   A wizard's voice sounded near them.

  Everyone appears at the entrance of a village, which at least looks like a village.

  There were two wizards standing in front of them, one of them was holding a big gold watch, and the other was reaching out to pick up Mrs. Maxim's abduct with a smile, and said to everyone with a smile, "Welcome to the magic garden."

  Everyone looked up at the village in front of them, a little confused.
