Chapter 178：

Looking at Neville who was having a hard time calming down after using the Cruciatus Curse, John held him down and used psychic magic to soothe his emotions.

The bad thing about black magic is that it will affect some people subtly.

In addition, John kept stimulating Neville to hate him, making him unable to calm down from time to time.

Neville gasped for air, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said hoarsely: "Sorry, John."

He kept adjusting to prevent himself from beating John.

Actually, I was beaten, but John beat him back.

In terms of John's combat prowess, except for Hagrid, there was basically no one who could rival him.

Use the water summoning spell to completely calm Neville.

Looking at Neville who had returned to his previous appearance, John sighed and said, "Neville, do you want to give up? It's still too late now."

Neville wiped the water from his face, clenched his fists, and said, "John, I will persist."

Although he didn't know John's intention of letting himself learn the Cruciatus Curse, he was willing to do so as long as he could save his parents.

For this, John felt a little guilty.

"Okay, tomorrow the two schools are coming over. You need to adjust your mood. You are almost done with the Cruciatus Curse."

Let Neville leave and go back to calm down, John must not want to be suddenly attacked.

Returning to the secret room of the Star Society, John saw a similar Firebolt next to his Firebolt.

"Draco is really a slut."

You don’t need to think about it to know who it belongs to. Malfoy saw that he had left something for decoration in the Star Club, and he wanted to do the same.

Taking out several magic crystals produced in the secret room, John processed them.

By the time he left, it was already late at night, and John took steps and walked quietly.

Encountering Snape patrolling on the way, he used a disguise spell to hide away.

October 30th.

The students were ordered to put on their cloaks.

Snape was dissatisfied with the fact that half an hour of his lessons had been cut off. With a cold face, Snape asked the Slytherins to hurriedly go down to the hall to gather.

The deans of each college are also managing their own students, especially Professor McGonagall, who is more serious than before.

"Weasley, put your hat on straight."

"Miss Patil, take that ridiculous thing out of your hair."

Ron, who was scolded, hurriedly put on his hat. Parvati Patil frowned unhappily and took off a large butterfly headdress from the end of her braid.

Professor McGonagall did not look at them, turned to everyone and said loudly: "Please follow me, first-year students in front, don't crowd."

She tried her best to control the almost out-of-control team. They filed down the steps and lined up in front of the castle.

On a cold evening, the air is fresh and makes people feel a little bit cool.

Night is falling, and a white, translucent moon hangs over the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was also here, holding two large fans in his hands, which seemed to be tools for controlling traffic.

Students are keen to discuss all new things. For example, right now, they are discussing how the two schools will come together.

Some said it was by train, others said it was a door key.

Flying broomsticks, Apparition...

There are various theories. They seem to be very interested in people from other schools.

Malfoy looked around, but did not find Heinrich, and asked in a low voice: "Where did that guy Heinrich go?"

John glanced at him and said speechlessly: "His home school is Durmstrang, so naturally he will not welcome him with us."

"It's true." Malfoy suddenly realized.

Since he started exercising, John has noticed that Malfoy seems to be less and less interested in using his brain.

The two big guys, Goyle and Crabbe, are also just tall, and the rest are not developed at all.

John once suspected that the two people might have some magical creature blood in them. Malfoy asked: "John, how do you think they will come here?"

Obviously Malfoy was also aroused by this topic.

Daphne stood on tiptoes, with a proud and calm expression on her face.

John looked funny, obviously so curious.

So he thought for a while and said: "Beauxbatons should have been brought here by Pegasus. Ms. Maxim has raised twelve rune horses."

"I'm not familiar with Durmstrang, but Heinrich said that there is a black ship in their school, and it should come by boat from the water."

He guessed that at this moment, a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance.

It was just a small point at first, and as it got closer and closer, it became bigger and bigger.

When some students discovered it, they screamed: "It's a fire dragon!"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's a house flying!" Another student retorted.

The behemoth flew over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest. The light from the castle window shone on them, and they saw clearly that it was a carriage.

It seems right to call it a big house, because the carriage is very big, just like a house.

It was pulled into the sky by twelve winged rune horses, each of which was about the size of an elephant.

The carriage lowered its height and landed at an extremely fast speed. The wind brought by its wings caused the three rows of students to retreat hurriedly.

Because Daphne was standing on tiptoes, her center of gravity was unstable. She was hit by a classmate who was retreating, and she fell backwards.

Just when she screamed and was about to fall, a hand held her waist firmly.

She stabilized her figure, opened her eyes, and stared blankly at the enlarged face.

Daphne couldn't help but blush because of her delicate facial features that favored Slavs. John glanced at Astoria in front of him, as if he saw a cunning meaning in her eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Holding on to the slender and soft waist, John lifted Daphne up and stood upright.

Daphne's ears turned red, she lowered her head and hummed softly.

The two people stood and looked at the carriage parked in front.

Those magic rune horses were much more energetic than the time when they were harmed by John, and every one of them raised their heads.

There was a crest printed on the carriage door, two golden crossed wands, with three stars emerging from each.

The door opened, and a boy in a light blue robe came down from above. He bent down, opened a golden spiral staircase under the carriage, and stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, a shiny high-heeled shoe stretched out from the carriage.

It was Ms. Maxim, she was still dressed in gorgeous clothes, her hair was tied back into a shiny bun.

Black satin clothes cover her from head to toe, and she wears many beautiful opal jewelry.

Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, and the students applauded one after another. Many people wanted to see clearly what the principal looked like.

Madame Maxime was too tall. She stretched out her hand, and Dumbledore kissed her hand without having to bend down.

"Welcome, Madam Maxime," Dumbledore said, "Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore," Ms. Maxim said in a deep voice, "I hope everything is well with you."

"Very well, thank you." Dumbledore said.

"My students." Ms. Maxim said, waving her hand behind her casually.

About twelve or three male and female students got off the carriage, and they stood neatly behind Ms. Maxim.

Everyone was probably around eighteen or nineteen years old, but their clothes were too thin, making them shiver from the cold.

Harry was watching too, and he noticed a student who was shining brightly.

Looking carefully, it is a badge, just like the stars in the sky.

But the student couldn't see clearly under the shadow of Ms. Maxim.

Hagrid, who was also tall, seemed to not know where to put his hands. Ms. Maxim saw him and nodded to him, which made Hagrid giggle.

Promise to take good care of the rune horse.

Ms. Maxim led the students up the steps and left.

After a while.

A strange gurgling sound came, and John cast his eyes into the lake.

"In the lake!" someone shouted.

The calm black lake became no longer calm, and a large whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake.

A long black pole slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool. It was a mast, and then an extraordinary large ship rose out of the water.

The big ship shone in the moonlight, looking strangely like a skeleton, as if a sunken ship had just been fished out.

An iron anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and wooden planks were placed on the lake shore.

A group of people got off the boat.

They were very tall and wore fur cloaks.

The fur on the leading man was silver-white, soft and smooth, much like his hair.

The man greeted Dumbledore warmly.

It must be Durmstrang’s principal, Karkaroff.

He has a tall and thin body and a goatee with curls at the end.

Although he looks enthusiastic, he gives people a feeling of indifference.

"Victor, come here quickly and warm yourself up."

Karkaroff called Krum forward, not paying attention to the other students at all.

John finally understood why Heinrich had such a low opinion of him.

…

Chapter 202 The Stars Gather and the Goblet of Fire

After welcoming the two schools, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts entered the auditorium.

As soon as he entered the door, John saw Heinrich who had changed into Durmstrang school uniform.

He was already sitting at the Slytherin long table. After Slytherin sat down, the Durmstrang students came to the Slytherin long table and sat down.

Beauxbatons chose the long table in Ravenclaw, and John could feel the gaze cast from there.

He smiled and said hello to Fleur, who covered her face with a scarf.

The auditorium is no longer a uniform green flag, replaced by the flags of each hospital.

At the Slytherin table, Krum and Heinrich said hello.

"Edgar."

He called out, and Heinrich glanced at him and responded, "Krum."

The two people just nodded like this, and they did not seem to have a good relationship.

But when the other Durmstrang people saw Heinrich, their expressions were a little bad, and some muttered something, as if they were talking about bad luck.

Seeing this, Malfoy suppressed his desire to talk to Krum, turned around and asked, "You don't seem to have a good relationship with them."

"A group of defeated generals were isolated by me after losing to me." Heinrich looked indifferent.

With this attitude, John just got up and said, everyone here is scum.

Malfoy: "?"

He looked at Durmstrang, who was sitting at the end of the long table, and then at Heinrich here.
