Chapter 496 The 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 required to wear only at the Christmas party, and then joined the others in the entrance hall.
Professor Sprout lined them up at the entrance of the auditorium, with the first-year students at the front, and one after another...
Kyle noticed that Professor McGonagall next to him was looking at everyone's clothes.
"Weasley, put your hat on straight..."
“Finigan, fasten your cloak…”
"Patil, take that ridiculous thing off your head!"
…
After all the students had 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. Many younger wizards stood there shivering. It was not clear whether it was because they were too excited or because they were cold.
Out of sight of the professors, 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 Durmstrang’s Viktor Krum is a Quidditch star. 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 has already 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, shouted 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 ridiculously big and looked like a house. Twelve winged runes pulled it into the air.
Different from the Thestral Horse, 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 were standing there and there was not even a horse. Leg 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 from the carriage.
“Oh...god!” Cedric gasped, finally understanding what Kyle meant.
This Ms. Maxim is astonishingly big, as tall as three or four meters. Hagrid is probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts who can compare with her.
Dumbledore started clapping, and his classmates also clapped.
First of all, it was the big horses, and even the principal was like this. Many people were murmuring in their hearts... Maybe 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 students among the students who got off the carriage.
One of the students with his head wrapped in a scarf got out of the carriage and cast his eyes on the Hogwarts students at the gate of the castle, seeming to be looking for something.
After seeing Kyle in the crowd, she immediately waved excitedly. Kyle also extended 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.
“Do you know him?” Kang Na blinked.
“Yeah.” Kyle nodded, “Remember that I have a friend in France?”
Kanna thought for a while, "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. ."
Kanna 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 style also has a different kind of charm, at least Fred and George have been stunned.
"It's really cool..." Fred leaned next to George and whispered: "What do you think we make the Weasley Joke Shop look like a ghost ship?"
“Ha, we thought of it together.” George said with a smile.
“Oh...look at that person!”
At this time, there was another commotion in the crowd, and the commotion 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 students. He was recognized as soon as he stepped out of the cabin.
Everyone’s eyes turned to each other, so that no one cared about the person walking in the front.
Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang, is tall and thin, with short white hair and a small goatee. He looks very shrewd.
"Welcome, Headmaster Karkaroff." Dumbledore stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Dumbledore!" Karkaroff opened his arms enthusiastically, "My dear old man, how are you!"
“Excellent.” Dumbledore hugged him.
Then Karkaroff came to Ms. Maxim's side and kissed her hands.
The three principals chatted enthusiastically for a while, and then Dumbledore led them into the castle.
