……
There was a pleasant atmosphere of anticipation in the school that day, and the class was a little absent-minded, more interested in the evening people from arbsbatten and demstrom, and even the pharmacy class was more tolerable than before, for it ended half an hour earlier.
To tell you the truth, Fanlin expressed some fear, shivering in the shadow of Hibiscus.
I have to admit that Hibiscus was the only one who played tricks on this little brother when she was in busbarton.
When the bell rings, Harry, Ron, van Lin and Hermione hurry back to the Gryffindor tower.
According to the requirements, everyone put on their schoolbags and textbooks, put on their cloaks, rushed downstairs and ran to the front hall.
The dean of each college is directing the students to line up.
"Weasley, put on your hat," Professor McGonagall called to Ron. "Mr. putt, take that ridiculous thing off your head."
Purwhite frowned and took a large ornamental butterfly from the end of her hair braid.
"Follow me, quick." Professor McGonagall said, "the first year is ahead Don't push... "
They filed down the front steps and lined up in front of the castle. It was a cold night. There were no clouds in the sky. The night came down. The pale and translucent moon was shining over the forest. Van Lin was between Harry and Hermione. Ron was next to Harry. They were in the fourth row ahead.
In this position, they can see most of the people, the first grade students are excited and shaking, they just came to catch up with such a grand event, for which they are full of expectations.
"It's almost six o'clock." Ron looked at his watch and then looked down at the road leading to the front door. "How do you think they're going to get here? By train? "
"I doubt it is." Said Hermione.
"So how? Sitting on the broom Said Harry, looking at the stars.
"I don't think so It's not that far away... "
"Through the door key?" Ron guessed, "or are they going to change -"
"you can't change in Hogwarts, how many times do I have to tell you?" Said Hermione impatiently.
"Don't you know that every school has its own interview tool? That's face. " "I know about busbarton, and that's going to surprise you."
"Is there anything more to reveal?" Ron said curiously, "I almost forgot that you've been in busbarton for a long time, who they are..."
"If I do, then you won't have a sense of expectation. It's very boring." Fan Lin Tucao to make complaints about Hermione because he secretly pinched him.
"It looks like you're all right." Said Hermione.
I dare not open any linqiang.
"If you know the inside story, just watch it. Don't talk much."
Then, three people excitedly looked at the dark ground, but nothing happened. Everything was as quiet as usual. Harry began to feel cold. He hoped that they would come soon. The students from other places were preparing for a dramatic appearance
He remembers what Mr. Weasley said at the camp before the Quidditch World Cup -
"it's always like that, when we get together, we can't help showing off..." Dumbledore's voice came from the back row, where he stood with several teachers, "ah!
If I'm not mistaken, the busbarton team is here! "
" where? " Many students asked eagerly. They looked around.
"There it is!" A sixth grader pointed to the forest.
A big thing, much bigger than a broom - or something much bigger than a hundred broomsticks - galloped in the dark blue sky, growing bigger and bigger.
"It's a dragon!" One of the first graders was completely dazed and screamed.
"Don't be silly It's a flying house Said Dini klivey.
Dini's conjecture was more appropriate. The huge black shadow swept over the top of the forest, and the light from the castle window caught it. They saw a huge, pink blue carriage, the size of a large house, roaring towards them. Twelve winged horses, each as big as an elephant, were pulling the cart in the air.
"Back off!" Hagrid held two big signs. He stood in the distance, as if to guide the carriage.
Unfortunately, he was a little tall. When he turned around, the horse's hoof almost kicked him.
Hagrid had to jump aside.
The carriage flew lower, and the students in the first three rows stepped back. The carriage suddenly stopped on the ground. A loud noise made Neville jump back and step on the foot of a Slytherin fifth grader. The hooves, bigger than the plates, hit the ground.
Then, the car also came down, the huge wheel jumped a few times, the Golden Horse twisted its head, and turned its big and red eyes.
Before the door opened, Harry had just seen that there was a protective totem on the door (two crossed gold sticks each shot three stars).
A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the car, leaned forward, fumbled for a moment on the floor of the carriage, unfolded a golden ladder, and retreated respectfully. Harry then saw a shiny black high-heeled shoe sticking out of the car, the size of a child's sledge, and then, almost instantly, the tallest woman Harry had ever seen left Explain why the car and the horse are so big.Harry had only seen one man as tall as this woman, Hagrid, and he doubted that there was any difference in their height, but somehow - perhaps he was used to Hagrid - the woman (who now walked down the stairs and looked around at the wide eyed crowd of people who were welcoming) looked even more tall.
(girls are higher? How about a giant woman
She stepped forward, shrouded in the light from the former hall. She showed a beautiful skin, a smooth face, big and black eyes, fair water, with a hooked nose, hair tied back in a bun, shining at the base of her neck. She was covered with black satin from head to foot. The opal glittered on her neck and thick fingers.
Dumbledore began to clap, and the students burst into applause. Many stood on tiptoe to see more clearly. She went to Dumbledore with an elegant smile on her face, and she held out her shining hand. Dumbledore, though not short, hardly had to bend down to kiss her hand.
"Dear Ms. Maxim." He said, "welcome to Hogwarts!"
"Dumbledore," said Ms. maxim in a deep voice, "are you all right?"
"I'm fine, thank you." Said Dumbledore.
"Students." Ms. Maxim said, waving her big hand behind her.
Harry had been paying attention to Ms. maxim, and now he saw about 12 boys and girls, all over the age of 16 from their looks. They got out of the car and stood behind Ms. Maxim. Their clothes were made of fine silk. None of them wore cloaks. Only a few wore scarves around their heads. No wonder they were shaking.
This is very surprising to Fanlin, you know, at the beginning of the selection of fewer people than this, and very few boys.
But now
Maybe something happened?
Anyway, he saw his familiar faces among the 24 students, our beautiful hibiscus, lovely Gabriel and
Why is brown here, too?
These boys are not so friendly to van Lin, but They shouldn't be foolishly coming to trouble with van Lin now.
This is Hogwarts, the place of van Lin, and
I'm not aiming at all of you, but I just want to say that the boys in busbarton are weak.
Fanlin looked up, his face sticking out under his hat.
Hibiscus immediately found Fanlin in the crowd, and she laughed here
If it was not for the headmaster's presence, the cattle would have called out, and Fanlin could guarantee it.
However, there are still some people in the crowd who are talking in a low voice. However, they have deliberately lowered their voice and their communication is very short. This is a matter of face, at least on the first day.
"Is kakarov here?" Ms. Maxim said.
"He'll be here any minute." Dumbledore said, "would you like to wait for him here, or do you want to go in and warm up?"
"Warm up, I think." Mrs. Maxim said, "but the horses -"
"our magic animal protection professor will be happy to take care of them." Dumbledore said, "he'll come back from his -- well, he'll take care of your horse. He's dealing with a little bit of a thing now."
"Hagrid is still in the water in the distance. Maybe he needs to change his clothes." Ron said to Harry with a smile.
"My horse -- well, it's not very tame. It's got to be tough." Mrs. Maxim said she seemed to doubt that there were no magic teachers at Hogwarts. "They are very strong..."
"I'm sure Hagrid is up to it." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Great." Mrs. Maxim bowed slightly. "Please tell Mr. Hagrid that these horses only drink malt."
"I'll do what you want." Dumbledore said he also bowed.
"Come on." Maxim orders her students. Hogwarts's men split a path to let her and her students through the stone steps.
"Do you think Hagrid can subdue the horses?" Seymour came from levindon and pwight to talk to Harry, Ron, and vaseline.
"I don't think it's a problem." Said Harry.
"Maybe they escaped." Ron said hopefully.
"Oh, don't say that," said Hermione, shaking. "Think about the escape of these things..."
"It doesn't matter. Hagrid can make it even for norbo." Fanlin said, "but where's nobo?"
"It seems to be in Romania." Ron said, "after all, Hagrid is himself. Norbo has some problems. After all, he is not yet an adult. Charlie should be able to take care of him."
Several people whispered. They were all shivering slightly, standing waiting for the danmsan team to arrive. Most of them looked up into the sky hopefully. For a few minutes, only the snorting and stomping of Mrs. Maxim's horse broke the silence, and then --
"did you hear anything?" Ron said suddenly.As soon as Harry heard it, a strange noise came from the dark, mixed with the sound of boom and inspiration. It seemed that there was a huge vacuum cleaner moving along the river bed
"Lake!" Lee Jordan pointed to the lake below and said, "look at the lake!"
They stood on the top of the lawn overlooking the ground, and from here they could see clearly the black and smooth surface of the lake - but suddenly the water was surging, there was movement in the middle of the lake, big bubbles formed on the surface, and the waves hit the muddy lakeshore - and then a whirlpool appeared in the middle of the lake, like a big piston just pulled out from the bottom of the lake One looks like a long and black Xiangzi, and slowly rises from the middle of the vortex. Then, you can see the sail line
"It's a mast ship!" Harry exclaimed, conveying shock and joy to his partner.
The ship slowly and majestically rose to the surface of the water, shining in the moonlight. It looked strange, skeleton like, like a repaired wreck. The dim light in the porthole flashed like a ghost's eye. Finally, there was a huge sound of drainage, and the ship completely emerged, fluctuated on the rippling water, and began to drive towards the shore. Soon, they saw the anchor The splash of water thrown into the shallows and the thumping of planks ashore.
The people got off the boat, and they saw them silhouetted by the lights in the portholes. Harry noticed that they were all as big as Crabbe and Goyle But when they walked in a little, and stepped on the grass to let the light of the anteroom shine, he found that their height was due to their woolen cloak, but the man who led the way to the castle wore a different kind of cloak, which was smooth and silver, just like his hair.
"Dumbledore!" He greets warmly and walks up the slope. "How are you? My dear fellow, how are you
"Very well, thank you, Professor kakarov." Dumbledore replied.
Kakarov's voice sounded a little pretentious and insincere. When he walked into the front door light, they saw him tall and thin, like Dumbledore's body, but his white hair was very short, and the beard on his chin (which was trimmed into small curls) did not completely cover his loose chin. He approached Dumbledore and held Dumbledore's hands in his hands.
"Dear Hogwarts castle." He said, looking up at the castle and smiling. His teeth were very yellow, but Fanlin noticed that his eyes were not smiling, but cold and cunning.
"How nice to be here, how nice Victor, come here and warm up Do you mind, Dumbledore? Victor has a little cold "
kakarov summoned one of his students forward. As the boy passed by, Harry caught a glimpse of a protruding Eagle hook nose and black thick eyebrows. Ron could recognize the silhouette without a punch on his arm or a shush in his ear.
"Harry - it's Krum!"
In fact, van leen always thought that kakarov was a middle-aged man similar to Professor Snape.
However, this is not any important information, for his age, van Lin should be concerned about his identity.
This is a Death Eater. Like Professor Snape, kakarov is a Death Eater.
It's just that he doesn't have Snape's acting skills and Lucius's brain. He relies on the contribution of his name in exchange for his freedom.
The owner of this name may be in the castle now, and he has appeared in the Quidditch World Cup, Barty crouch Jr.
So, things get interesting.
Little Barty crouch is not going to let kakarov, the former Betrayer.
And the Death Eater's sign. Kakarov must have a headache right now.
Students in Hogwarts line up and follow students from demstrom upstairs.
Ron was shocked. "I don't believe it! Harry, that's Viktor Krum
"For God's sake, Ron, he's just a Quidditch player." Said Hermione.
"Just a Quidditch player?" Ron looked at her and couldn't believe his ears. "Hermione - one of the best searchers in the world! I had no idea he was still in school. "
Krum's admirers Maybe Ron should find a way to take some medicine.
They followed the other Hogwarts students through the population hall towards the city hall.
Van Lin saw Lee Jordan jumping up and down barefoot just to get a better look at the back of Karen's head.
Nine sixth graders went out of their pockets crazily as they walked. "Oh, my God, I can't believe it. I didn't have a pen with me." do you think he'd like to sign my hat with lipstick
"Oh, indeed Cried Hermione with great pride.
They passed the group of girls who are now arguing over the lipstick.
"If I can, I'll get his autograph, too." Ron said, "Harry, you don't have a pen, do you?"
"Yes, on the top of my schoolbag." Said Harry.
They went to Gryffindor's table and sat down. Ron sat on the side opposite the door, because Krum and his companions were still around the door, and it was clear where they were going to sit was uncertain.The students from busbarton have already sat down at the table at vivankaro.
They looked dejected and looked around at the hall. Three of them were still clinging to their headscarves and shawls.
"It's not that cold," Hermione looked at them, fretting. "Why don't they bring their cloaks?"
"Come here! Come and sit here Ron hissed, "here! Hermione, move in a little, squeeze out the position -- "
" why? "
"It's too late." Ron was upset.
Viktor Krum and his classmates had already sat down at Slytherin's table. Harry could see that Crabbe and Goyle were very proud of it. Malfoy leaned forward and spoke to Krum.
"Yes, yes, flatter him," Ron quipped. "I'll bet Krum can see him through at a glance, even though Of course, there are always people around him who flatter him Where do you think they're going to sleep? We can make room for him in the dorm, Harry I don't mind giving him my bed. I can sleep in a folding bed
Hermione scoffed at it.
Fanlin was very satisfied, even laughing in secret?
"It seems that they are much happier than the busbartons." Said Harry.
Durmstrand's students were taking off their thick leather coats and were interested in looking at the starry black ceiling. One or two of them picked up the gold plate and goblet and looked at it carefully.
Over the clerk's desk, Fergie, the caretaker, was adding chairs, and he put on his musty old tuxedo for the event.
Harry was surprised to see him add two chairs to Dumbledore's chair.
"But there are only two more people," said Harry. "Why does Fitch set up four chairs? Who else is coming? "
" what? " Ron asked blankly, still staring at Krum.
All the students went into the hall and sat down at their desks. After that, the staff came in and lined up to sit down.
At the end of the line were Professor Dumbledore, Professor kakarov and Mrs. maxim, the headmistress of busbarton school. BABS all showed up. She jumped up.
Some of the students at Hogwarts laughed. They were embarrassed, and then they didn't dare to sit down until Mrs. Maxim sat down on the left side of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was still standing, and there was no sound in the hall.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, Ghosts - especially guests," Dumbledore, smiling at the foreign students, "very welcome to Hogwarts. I hope I also believe that you will have a comfortable and happy life here
A busbarton girl, still holding her scarf on her head, let out a sneer. It must be a sneer.
"No one is forcing you to stay!" Hermione yelled at her in a low voice.
Fanlin looked past, that girl he did not have any impression, fourth grade or fifth grade prefect?
"After the midsummer, the game officially begins," announced Dumbledore. "Now please don't mention it. Please do it."
He sat down, and Harry saw that kakarov leaned over to talk to him.
As usual, the dishes in front of them were full of food. It looks like the elf door in the kitchen has taken out all the storage. Van Lim has never seen so many different dishes at Hogwarts, and several of them are obviously from other countries.
"What is that?" Ron points to a scallop like stew next to a large kidney pudding.
"Fish soup." Hermione replied.
"God bless." Said Ron.
"It's French," Hermione said. "I had it on vacation the summer before last. It was delicious."
"I believe you." Ron said, start to eat the black pudding.
Although there were only about 40 more students, the hall seemed more crowded than usual.
Maybe it's because of wearing different colors of school uniform. After taking off their fur coats, demstrand's students revealed their dark red robes, which were much more eye-catching than the black ones worn by Hogwarts students.
Looking at busbarton's sky blue satin.
Fanlin remembers that they have winter school uniforms, but they seem to have made a mistake about the season.
Poor hibiscus and Gabriel, I hope those two people can still remember the warm-up mantra they taught them.
Now it's very clear in the hall.
Black, red and blue school uniform, such a day will spend a whole school year.
To tell you the truth, if you don't take Voldemort into account, the Triwizard contest is really a very interesting project.
If there was no Death Eater to make trouble, maybe he could take part in the three witchcraft contest, but now it seems that such a thing has been abandoned.
This is undoubtedly a very bad thing. He won't have such a chance in the future. He's in the fourth grade.
