Chapter 496: Visitors From Afar (Leader of the Far-Reaching and Endless Alliance, Plus
Chapter 496 Distant Visitor (Profound and Endless Alliance Leader, plus update 45)
History of Magic was the last class in the afternoon. Because the get out of class had to end half an hour early, when the bell rang early, everyone rushed out of the classroom.
Kyle and Connor returned to the Hufflepuff common room, changed into the cloaks they were asked to wear only at the Christmas party, and then joined the others in the foyer.
Professor Sprout lined them up at the entrance of the auditorium, with the first-year students at the front, and then...
Kyle noticed that Professor McGonagall next to him was looking at everyone's clothes.
"Weasley, put your hat straight..."
"Finigan, fasten your cloak..."
"Patil, take that ridiculous thing off your head!"
…
After all the students arrived, Professor McGonagall looked at the time and led them out of the gate to the front of the castle.
At this time, the moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest, and many younger wizards were standing there shivering, not knowing whether it was because they were too excited or were frozen.
Where the professors couldn't see them, everyone lowered their voices and whispered about how the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would come.
"I think it's Apparition." Fred said, "Just think about it, a group of people suddenly appeared on the field in front of the school. It must be interesting."
"I think it's unlikely." Cedric shook his head, "Apparition is prohibited at Hogwarts, so they can't go to the gate and then walk over.
So I think it should be a flying broomstick. Don't forget that Viktor Krum of Durmstrang is a Quidditch star. Coming here riding a broomstick can also maximize his fame. "
"Do you know how far away Durmstrang is from here?" George said exaggeratedly: "Only a fool would ride a broomstick that far away... I still think Apparition is more reliable. Maybe Professor Dumbledore The restrictions in the school have been lifted.”
George couldn't help but raise his voice when he spoke, and Professor McGonagall heard her. She turned back and gave this side a stern look.
"Ah, if I'm not mistaken..." At this time, Dumbledore, standing in the back row, said loudly: "The Beauxbatons representative has arrived!"
Kyle raised his head and soon saw a huge pink-blue carriage over the Forbidden Forest.
The carriage was so big that it looked like a house, and twelve winged rune horses pulled it into the sky.
Different from the Yeqi, although the Talisman horse also has wings, its appearance is still like a silver-maned horse, and it is much larger, looking like an elephant.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground with an earth-shattering noise... After getting closer, the magic horses pulling the carriage looked even bigger. The students in the first two rows stood there and there was not even one. The horse's legs are high.
Then the door opened, and a boy wearing a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage and opened the golden spiral staircase under the car.
Then a shiny black high-heeled shoe stuck out of the carriage.
"Oh...god!" Cedric gasped, finally understanding what Kyle meant.
This Ms. Maxim was astonishingly big, as tall as three or four meters. Hagrid was probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts who could compare with her.
Dumbledore started clapping, and his classmates followed suit.
First of all, it was the big horses, and even the principal was like this. Many people were muttering in their hearts... Could it be that Beauxbatons are all big students.
Think about it, can they really win the Triwizard Tournament with a student who is two or three meters tall...
Fortunately, this did not happen, and there were no big guys among the students who got off the carriage.
One of the students, whose head was wrapped in a scarf, got off the carriage and cast his eyes on the Hogwarts students at the castle gate, seemingly looking for something.
When she saw Kyle in the crowd, she immediately waved excitedly.
Kyle also stretched out his arm and waved. There were too many people around, and he was in the middle and back, so he could only say hello in this way.
"You know him?" Kang Na blinked.
"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "Do you remember that I have a friend in France?"
Kangna thought for a moment, "The person who gave you French chocolates?"
"Yes, that's her, her name is Fleur Delacour." Kyle said, "We met at Nicolas Flamel's house. At that time, Madam Maxime hinted that she would also come to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. ”
Kangna raised her head and wanted to take a closer look, but at this time the students had already walked to Ms. Maxim's side and were blocked tightly.
"Look at the Black Lake..."
While the two principals were talking, someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked over immediately, and there was a huge splash on the originally calm lake.
"Something is coming out of it!" George said subconsciously.
"It looks like Karkaroff is here too." Dumbledore said with a smile, "The time is just right."
Ms. Maxim nodded. She originally wanted to take the students to the castle to warm up, but since Durmstrang's people had already arrived, she did not mention it again.
Soon, a black mast rose from the lake, and then an extraordinary large ship also emerged.
It just looks weird, like a sunken ship that has just been salvaged. This is probably what the legendary ghost ship is like.
But it is undeniable that this design also has a different kind of charm, at least Fred and George have been stunned.
"It's so cool..." Fred leaned over to George and whispered, "What do you think about making Weasley's Joke Shop look like a ghost ship?"
"Ha, we're thinking the same thing." George said with a smile.
"Oh... look at that guy!"
At this time, there was another commotion in the crowd, and the noise was louder than the previous times.
"Oh my God, I can't believe it, it's Krum!" Someone shouted excitedly.
As the most famous Quidditch player at present, Viktor Krum has a large number of admirers among the students. As soon as he walked out of the cabin, he was recognized.
Everyone looked over, so that no one cared about the person walking in front.
Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, is tall and thin, with short white hair and a small goatee, and looks very smart.
"Welcome, Headmaster Karkaroff." Dumbledore stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Dumbledore!" Karkaroff opened his arms enthusiastically, "My dear old friend, how are you!"
"Very good." Dumbledore hugged him.
Then Karkaroff came to Madam Maxime and kissed her hand.
The three headmasters chatted enthusiastically for a while, and Dumbledore took them into the castle.
