v4 Chapter 60： grand welcome ceremony

Dumbledore silently tucked the Elder Wand into his sleeve.

By this time the Hogwarts students had discovered the Beauxbatons carriage in the sky.

The carriage broke through the heavy clouds and swept across the sky, obscuring the setting sun for a time. Everyone was shocked by the huge carriage.

The carriage was powder blue as a whole, the size of a house, and was pulled by twelve silver-mane horses with wings. It looked noble and elegant.

"Professor Dumbledore, does Hogwarts have such a means of transport?" a Gryffindor student dared to ask Dumbledore.

Dumbledore:  …

Seems like there really isn't any, does the Thestral carriage count? Dumbledore felt that it was time to look in the castle, maybe in any nook where he could find the ancient means of transport left by his predecessors. You know, after five years, it will be time for him to lead the students to other schools to compete. A large group of people riding brooms to go, it is too shabby.

But what should I do if I can't find it? Dumbledore was confused. The carriage seems to be a good idea, but there is a suspicion of picking people's teeth, and other means of transportation cannot be built for a while.

"We could have the Headmaster cast a Traceless Expansion Charm on a teapot, and Dumbledore would put us in the pot and go to other schools alone. When we got there, just let us out - and we could live in Dumbledore as well. In Lido's jug." When Dumbledore was a little worried, Tom helped him out.

Hearing Tom's suggestion, Dumbledore's eyes lit up: This idea sounds good! No matter how luxurious Beauxbatons' carriages are, they are still carriages after all. The teapot that has been placed on the Traceless Expansion Charm is different. Under normal circumstances, the traceless expansion spell in the magic world is to expand the space of a tent to the size of three rooms and one hall. Going up, the difficulty of the spell will be greatly increased. The condition of Newt Scamander's suitcase is extremely rare, almost unique.

To expand the space that can accommodate a delegation in a teapot, I am afraid that in the entire magical world, Dumbledore can do it with the Elder Wand. Going out with such a pot would not lose face at Hogwarts. Thinking of this, Dumbledore's thinking began to diverge: since he planned to use the Traceless Expansion Spell to make a vehicle, it didn't have to be a teapot. He could make a hollow stone and put the stone in the body of some animal. Come on, it's not impossible...

In fact, if the vanishing cabinet at Hogwarts is repaired, and the vanishing cabinet collected by Tom, it can directly play the effect of any door and connect the two schools together. It's just that the vanishing cabinet is still dusting in the Room of Requirement.

Just as Dumbledore was thinking about how to build his own vehicle for Hogwarts, Beauxbatons began to descend. After an earth-shattering loud noise, those huge silver-maned horses and carriages fell to the ground. As you get closer, the car appears larger, and the little wizards can see the details on it.

On the door of the carriage, there is a badge printed with two golden wands crossed, each wand with three stars. It's Beauxbatons' crest, which goes well with their school name (Beautiful Wand).

The door of the carriage opened, and a boy in a light blue robe jumped down from it and opened a golden spiral staircase, followed by a lady as tall as Hagrid elegantly emerged from the carriage. walked down.

She is Madame Maxime who met Tom during the summer vacation. Today she is wearing a black satin dress with many luxurious opals on her body.

Hagrid stood in the line with an obsessed look on his face, and he was captured by this beautiful woman in front of him.

Dumbledore glanced at Tom, Tom understood it, raised his staff above his head, and then recited the spell he had learned from Dumbledore—

"All things come alive!"

The staff slammed heavily on the ground, sending out a halo shock wave visible to the naked eye. The halo rapidly expanded on the lawn, covering the entire lawn in just a few seconds, and continued to spread to the distant forbidden forest. Wherever the halo goes, flowers burst out one after another, blooming against the law of the seasons.

Flowers are not some precious flower species, they are just wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside in summer, but they still greatly shocked the visiting teachers and students of Beauxbatons and the Hogwarts students present.

For a while, the lawn was filled with the fragrance of grass and flowers, and everyone seemed to be back in the midsummer season, but the breeze and cicadas were missing.

This blow struck the entire midsummer.

This is the spell Tom learned from Dumbledore. All things come back to life, which can revive withered plants and promote the germination of seeds. It was Tom's passive skill when he was a child. Now he has recovered the lost passive skill through learning and turned it into an active skill with a wider range.

The edge of the Forbidden Forest not far away is also a lively scene where everything is full of life.

Dumbledore was in the scent of flowers, striding towards Madam MaximeWelcome to Hogwarts, dear Madam Maxime. "

Madam Maxime also quickly got out of her state of shock and had a chat with Dumbledore. However, during the conversation, her eyes couldn't stop glancing at Tom, wondering what she was thinking about.

Behind Madame Maxime, a dozen male and female students got off the carriage and stood in a row. Everyone was around seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing delicate silk robes. They either looked up at the huge Hogwarts castle or down at the flowers beneath their feet, but whether they looked up or down, they each had a look of awe on their faces.

"Karkaroff hasn't come yet. Are you going to meet him here, or go to the castle for a rest?" Dumbledore stood beside Madame Maxime and chatted with her. Dumbledore was a tall wizard and wore a pointed wizard hat. But compared with Madame Maxime, his size is not worth mentioning. Counting the hat, he has just reached the position of Madame Maxime's chin.

Madam Maxime looked down at the staffs in Dumbledore and Tom's hands, and said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, there should be other welcome programs, right? Then I can't miss it. But my horse Really need a break."

"No problem, our teacher of protecting magical animals will be happy to take care of them," Dumbledore looked at Hagrid, "Rubber, please come over here."

At this time, Mrs. Maxim noticed Hagrid standing on the edge of the phalanx. When she saw Hagrid's figure, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows. Obviously, it was the first time she had met someone who could match her stature.

Good night.
