"A Magical Hogwarts( Find the latest chapter!

Hofburg Palace,

As a city within a city, Vienna can be said to be world-famous.

First, it has a large footprint.

There was a tradition in the Habsburg dynasty that emperors could not live in the previous emperor's room.

Therefore, each generation of emperors will expand the Winter Palace, eventually forming a scale of 240,000 square meters today.

Second, the palace has a long history.

It dates back to 1279, and by the time the new Hofburg Palace was inaugurated in 1926, it had undergone six hundred years of expansion.

At that time, the last emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, Karl I, had abdicated for 8 years.

Today, the Hofburg Palace is the seat of the President and government of the Federal Republic of Austria.

The ceremony of receiving state guests is usually held here.

In addition to the presidential office, some areas will be used as exhibition venues and cultural facilities for tourists to visit.

Status basic and Palace Museum.

Even so, the area of ​​the palace is still too large, so the Austrian Ministry of Magic simply moved its headquarters here.

Since the "Secret Law", after hiding for hundreds of years, can't you enjoy and enjoy it? !

Similarly, this International Wizarding Congress will also be held here.

The thought of staying in the palace for a few days made William feel comfortable.

It's like rushing into the Forbidden City in a big car... It's cool.

Compared to Venice's St. Mark's Basilica, this is a luxurious feast.

As for Missandei, judging from the court attire, William has regarded her as the little maid here.

With the deepening of the carriage, various magnificent and shining palace buildings continue to appear.

Looking at those buildings, William suddenly remembered that he had seen Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle in his previous life.

The material of the palace is from the Hofburg Palace.

The Renaissance-style architectural style takes into account the column style of ancient Greek buildings and the semi-circular arches of ancient Rome... The scene is exactly the same.

In fact, the soldiers in the movie are also dressed in the style of the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The cursed prince, and the resulting war, is also particularly in line with the First World War that broke out because of the Sarajevo incident.

Just as William was lost in thought, Graling ran quickly and stepped into a bridge that arched over the lake.

Halfway through the carriage, William heard a loud hissing sound, the sound coming from the stone pillars of the bridge.

The swirling fog suddenly began to spew, tumbling into the lagoon, and towards the carriage, engulfing William and Hermione.

Is it a fog sculpture?

"Mist Sculpture" is created by visual gas as the medium, that is, the fog is first visualized and then slowly dissipated, so it is quite original.

Moreover, because the wind and atmospheric conditions are different every day, the fog sculptures that appear each time are also different in shape.

This unique art actually appeared in the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

Sure enough, Vienna does have a romantic temperament, and even the wizards have followed the art.

The hissing sound of the bridge stopped abruptly, and William looked at the mist covering the lagoon, sometimes spinning, sometimes sneaking, as if he had an idea of ​​his own.

The scene is ethereal and dizzying.

He could also feel that there was a magic in the fog, similar to Floo powder, that changed the positions of the three.

They are apparently entering the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

This is higher than the telephone booth outside the British Ministry of Magic, I don't know how much higher.

The smoke slowly dissipated, and the carriage was still on the bridge, but the scene in the distance had completely changed, and a special hall appeared without warning.

A set of huge white columns two hundred feet high, next to the soaring glass curtain wall, up to the vaulted dome.

Above the dome, halogen spotlights shine pure white. A long, criss-crossed corridor, suspended in mid-air, crossed over the entire Ministry of Magic.

A giant stone, located in the center of the hall, reads:

Mutund Willenskraft.

This is a German phrase meaning "courage and will".

In the wall not far away, there is also a glass elevator, which quietly goes down the wall and returns to the ground to pick up other wizards.

In the corners around, many Aurors were on guard.

"We're here." Missandei got out of the carriage, dragged the court skirt, and guided William and Hermione step by step.

After passing a series of extremely strict security checks, the two came to a sign-in table. A young witch, registering.

Looking at the badges on their clothes, she could tell at a glance that they were representatives of the International Wizarding Congress.

The International Wizarding Conference is not only attended by representatives of various countries, but also has many accompanying wizards and media reporters from various countries.

People with different identities have different colors of badges.

But here comes the problem.

The age of the representatives of various countries is generally very old, but William and Hermione's faces are too immature, and at first glance they are students.

It is impossible for the two to be representatives, but they also wear badges of similar colors, so they can only be the ones who speak at the conference.

To be able to speak at the International Wizarding Congress, and still so young... Only those two exist.

She glanced at the name on the breastplate, and it was indeed the famous Stark and Granger.

"Welcome to the International Wizarding Congress." The witch said quickly in English.

"I need to check both wands."

William and Hermione handed the wands, and the witch took them and put them on the wand detector.

The machine began to vibrate slightly, and a narrow piece of parchment spit out quickly from a hole at the bottom.

The witch tore off the paper and looked at the list reported in advance.

no problem!

She smiled again and asked another question, "Don't you two have spare wands?"

William and Hermione shook their heads at the same time, and said in unison, "There is no spare."

No spares...but plenty of favorites.

The witch looked for William and Hermione's names in a long guest list.

After she found it, she handed over two room cards with numbers matching their names.

"This is the room card for the two of you."

Hermione reached out and took the room card, just glanced at the house number, and put it in her security watch.

Missandei stood not far away and noticed this detail. Although she was still expressionless, her eyebrows raised slightly.

The inspection is complete, and William and Hermione walk to Missandei.

Missandei asked with rare interest: "Is this a wand made by Ollivander?"

William hummed and glanced at the blue wand half exposed from her sleeve.

"This is Mr. Gregorovitch's last work," Missandei said. "He's the best wand dealer ever."

William found that the girl was a little upright, and asked softly, "Excuse me, where is Mr. Gregorovitch's wand shop?"

"Mr. Gregorovitch is retired, and it's hard to find where he is," Missandei said.

Are you retired?

William also wanted to find Gregorovitch to make some spare wands.

what a pity.

"I'll take the two of you to your room. After you rest, I'll take you to visit the Hofburg." Missandei said softly.

"Just take us to the room, and then the two of us can visit by ourselves." Hermione said embarrassedly. "Don't bother with you."

Missandei insisted: "It's not troublesome at all. Until the end of the meeting, I will be in charge of both of them."

She added bluntly: "This is what the minister ordered, he said that you must take care of the two of you and meet all your requirements.

But one must stay, especially you, Mr. Stark. "

"..."

You are so upright, does your family minister know?

And... why are you following me? Will I destroy the Hofburg, or will I destroy Vienna? !

William suddenly looked up and down Missandei and said with a smile: "Can you really meet all my requirements?"

Missandei nodded and said calmly: "It is my only task this time to let the two of you enjoy this visit before the meeting starts tomorrow."

William held his chin and said slowly: "Well, I need you...

Announcement to your minister, Hermione and I are going to Nurmengard... for a visit. "
