Chapter 453： Beauxbatons and Durmstrang

"Oh! Merlin's beard!"

Dumbledore, who was still smiling, let out an exclamation and rushed forward in three steps to help Ms. Maxime up.

"Ms. Maxime, are you not injured?" he asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Madam Maxime stood up and forced a smile. "Long time no see, Dumbledore, I really made you laugh."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to pick up the boy who had been crushed by her, and whispered a few words to him in French, probably to apologize to him, and the boy waved his hand fearfully, Then he respectfully stepped back behind Ms. Maxime.

After pulling the boy up, Ms. Maxime looked at the group of rune horses who were in trouble, and saw that they were shaking their heads and sniffing, as if they didn't know what was going on.

At this time, others also saw the appearance of Ms. Maxim.

Unlike Hagrid's rough shape, Ms. Maxime has a handsome face that doesn't fit her figure, a pair of black and watery eyes, and a pointed nose. Her hair was combed back in a gleaming bun at the base of her neck, and she was wrapped head to toe in a black satin dress, and her neck and her thick fingers were gleaming with rich opals.

"Maybe my horse just arrived at a new place, and it's not quite used to it." Ms. Maxim, who couldn't see the reason, could only guess.

"Cough cough..." Dumbledore, who also guessed the reason, coughed twice and nodded in agreement: "Well, don't worry, our professor of the protection of magical animals will be able to take good care of them. The trouble will come back, it's his... um... something else that he has to take care of is in trouble."

Dumbledore was really talking about blowing tail snails. As these things got bigger, they became more and more violent. Several students have been blown into the infirmary, whether they were students or Madam Pomfrey. , are very opinionated on some "cute little things".

"My horses need...well...strong people to take care of them," Ms Maxime said, seeming to doubt that the Hogwarts teacher of Conservation of Magical Creatures would be up to the job. "They are fierce... …”

"I assure you, Hagrid is perfectly capable of doing the job." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Very well," said Lady Maxime, bowing slightly, "could you tell this Hagrid that these horses drink only single malt whisky?"

"I'll take care of it," said Dumbledore, bowing too.

While the two were talking, another twelve or three students, men and women, got off the carriage. They stood behind Ms. Maxime in an orderly and quiet manner with the boy at the beginning. They were clad in silk robes, shivering in the night wind.

"My student." After greeting Dumbledore, Madam Maxime waved her hand back casually, and asked again, "Is Karkaroff here?"

"He'll come anytime," Dumbledore glanced at the group of students, then turned around with a smile, and called out to the cat, who was still pretending to be well-behaved, "Fish, do me a favor."

He pointed to the group of Beauxbatons students.

"No problem meow!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

Fish also knew that he probably couldn't hide it from Professor McGonagall, so he was eager to do something to atone for his sins.

A white halo flashed by again, including Ms. Maxime and Beauxbatons' students.

The cat's magic once again aroused amazement, and Ms. Maxime looked at Fisch curiously. Fisch shook her ears and returned her a big smile.

"Veela?"

Ms. Maxim immediately thought of her most proud student.

Dumbledore smiled and did not answer, but directly changed the subject: "Are you willing to wait here for Karkaroff, or would you like to take a rest first?"

When Dumbledore mentioned Karkaroff, Ms. Maxime didn't lift her eyelids, she replied lightly: "Let's go to rest first, please take good care of my horse."

"Of course." Dumbledore bowed again and said.

Madam Maxime nodded, then turned around and beckoned to her student, saying in a majestic voice, "Come on."

So the Hogwarts crowd stepped aside to let her and her pupils walk up the stone steps.

When Ms. Maxime passed by, she took a deep look at Fisch, and Beauxbaton's students basically set their eyes on Cat Cat, especially his twitching cat ears. So striking.

Fish twitched his nose slightly and whispered to Hermione, "She smells a lot like Hagrid's."

"What?" Hermione didn't quite understand what the cat meant.

"Fish can't explain it clearly. The scents of the two of them are obviously very different, but it just gives me a similar feeling... Maybe it's because she and Hagrid are both big cats?"

(??ω??)

Mao Mao tilted his head suspiciously, guessing with uncertainty.

But Fish quickly put the matter aside, and he, like the others, excitedly guessed which mode of transportation Durmstrang would use when he arrived.

"It would be nice if they also came in magical animals that Fish had never seen before, meow."

?(??ω??)?

Cat Mao continued to wink with the runes and horses, and said expectantly.

Everyone waited for a while longer, and Fish's ears suddenly caught a strange sound.

"There is movement in the lake, meow!"

Fisch pointed to the Black Lake and shouted loudly, and everyone looked over immediately.

They stood on the **** of the lawn overlooking the site, with a clear view of the calm black water.

At first, the lake surface was very calm, but soon, the water waves began to rippling, and a strange sound also floated over from the direction of the black lake.

It was a suppressed rumbling and sucking, like a giant vacuum moving along the riverbed...

As this strange sound became louder and louder, huge splashes of water rose on the black lake, and the waves slammed against the wet shore. The plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake...

From the center of the whirlpool rose slowly what looked like a long black rod, with sail rigging on it...

"That's a mast!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind them at all, everyone could see that an extraordinary ship was slowly rising out of the water.

It looked eerie, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a wreck that had just been salvaged, and the portholes flickered with a dim, misty gleam that looked like ghostly eyes.

However, the shabby appearance does not affect the style of this ship. Everyone, especially the boys, are very interested in this ship.

After the big boat was completely out of the water, it immediately headed towards the shore of the lake. Moments later, they heard a thud, an iron anchor dropped into the shallow water, and then another thud, a plank on the shore.

Led by a tall and thin man, a group of people walked out of the cabin and quickly came to the gate of the castle.

Fish looked at the fur cloaks on them, hesitated for a moment, or gave up the idea of ​​giving Durmstrang's people a cold and heat-resistant idea.

"Dumbledore!" the leading goatee man shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope. "My dear old manHow are you?"

"Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

After the two exchanged a few words, Karkaroff called a student behind him: "Victor, come here, warm up... You don't mind, Dumbledore? Victor is a little bit. I have a cold..."

There was a commotion among the Hogwarts students as most recognized the man, the Bulgarian Seeker Victor Klum, who made his mark in the Quidditch World Cup final .

Of course, Fish didn't have much impression of him. At that time, Mao Mao patronized and watched Veela fight with the leprechauns. Players and so on were not within his scope of attention.
