Chapter 580
The carriage descended rapidly with unparalleled power.
The students in the first three rows retreated in a hurry in fear.
With a loud bang, the carriage landed directly on the ground.
"These are rune horses." Black explained to the students around him. "It takes a very strong person to take good care of them."
"Well, I can see that, because they all look as big as elephants... But I think Hagrid will definitely like them." Hermione said with certainty.
Professor Kettleburn said: "You're right, I can't handle these big guys alone."
Although he planned to resign and go to the Magic Zoo, that would be next semester, so he was still in Hogwarts.
The responsibility of taking care of the rune horses of Beauxbatons undoubtedly fell on him and Hagrid.
At this time, the golden rune horses shook their huge heads and neighed, and their fiery red eyes rolled around.
"Look, they are so beautiful... aren't they?" Hagrid fell in love with this creature almost the moment he saw the rune horse.
At this moment, the carriage door with two golden cross wands printed on it was opened from the inside.
A boy in a light blue robe jumped down, and the cold weather made him shiver involuntarily.
He bent down and fumbled on the footboard of the carriage for a while, and then a golden spiral staircase appeared on the footboard of the carriage.
Then, Black saw the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Ms. Maxime.
Black found that if she ignored her big body that could rival Hagrid, her face was still quite handsome.
No wonder Hagrid was so obsessed in the original book...
In fact, Hagrid is already obsessed now...
I saw that "Seven-Nine-Zero", Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes next to him were no longer focused on those magic horses, but on Madame Maxime, and his saliva was about to flow out...
At this time, Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, and the Hogwarts teachers and students who came to greet them also began to applaud to show their welcome.
As Madame Maxime got off, twelve or thirteen male and female students jumped off the carriage one after another.
However, they seemed to have no preparation for the cold weather in England. Everyone was shivering with cold, because none of them even wore a cold-proof cloak.
Blake accurately found Fleur and Gabriel among those students.
There was no way, these two girls really stood out from the crowd.
Black took out a pot of sunflowers and walked over. Professor Sprout also noticed that the students of Beauxbatons across the street were wearing too thin clothes, so he directed a few students to bring a few pots of sunflowers over.
"Black!"
"Brother Black!"
The Delacour sisters simultaneously noticed the boy walking over with a smile.
"You didn't tell me you were coming before." Black pretended not to know.
"I wanted to tell Brother Black right away, but my sister said she wanted to give Brother Black a surprise!" Gabrielle took the sunflower and said happily.
"Gabrielle!" Fleur looked at her sister angrily. With this little traitor around, no secrets could be kept!
The warm sunflowers drove away the chill around them, and the Beauxbatons students around them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They all looked at Black with curiosity, looking at this boy who could actually talk and laugh with the proud Fleur.
Suddenly, a girl shouted in French, "Oh my God! This is Black Green!"
Then the Beauxbatons students became a little uneasy. Because Black's reputation was too great.
If it weren't for Ms. Maxime still chatting with Dumbledore over there, they would have asked for Black's autograph.
Not far away, Ms. Maxime asked, "Karkaroff and... Grindelwald are here?"
When Grindelwald was mentioned, a complicated look flashed across Ms. Maxime's face.
This guy made a big fuss in France... Of course, there is another little guy who has made a big fuss in France recently...
Ms. Maxime looked at Black, who was chatting with her favorite student not far away.
This little guy had a little misunderstanding with the French Ministry of Magic, and then blocked the door of the Ministry of Magic. He was very fierce... Fortunately, he became a professor this year, otherwise... What would this competition be about?
"They haven't come yet." Dumbledore said, "Do you plan to wait here with us, or go to the auditorium first?"
Ms. Maxime looked at her students. She originally planned to go in and wait first, because her students obviously couldn't adapt to the cold weather.
However, after seeing that the students were no longer cold under the sunflowers. Ms. Maxime changed her mind.
"I'll wait here with you. By the way, I have to explain... Um, I wonder how you are going to place my magic horse?" Ms. Maxime asked.
"Oh, don't worry, we are excellent professors of Care of Magical Creatures." Dumbledore looked at Professor Kettleburn.
"Yes, leave it to me." Professor Kettleburn stood up and said.
Ms. Maxime glanced at him, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face, "Excuse me, Professor of Care of Magical Creatures... These magic horses of mine are very fierce and powerful. If it were you, perhaps..."
"Don't worry, Ms. Maxime, we still have our strong gamekeeper Hagrid." Professor Kettleburn pulled Hagrid, who was still looking at Ms. Maxime stupidly, over.
Just now, Hagrid stood in the shadows motionless, so that Ms. Maxime didn't see him.
At this moment, seeing Hagrid, who was almost the same size as her, a hint of surprise flashed in Ms. Maxime's eyes.
However, she quickly hid this surprise, "If it's you, then there will be no problem."
"Well... yes... yes... I'm very strong and have a lot of experience in caring for magical animals. I'll take good care of your horse." Hagrid finally came to his senses and said hurriedly.
"Okay..." Ms. Maxime said again: "By the way, these horses only drink single malt whiskey..."
"Got it, I'll prepare it." Hagrid patted his chest and it made a banging sound.
At this moment, Black and the students of Beauxbatons came over together.
Cassandra looked at Black and Fleur talking and laughing, and her fists clenched.
"I thought you were used to it." Hermione said helplessly.
"Get used to it? How can I get used to it! Bastard... I'll settle accounts with him when I get back!" Cassandra said angrily.
Ms. Maxim looked at Black with scrutiny, but before she could speak.
Strange noises came from the Black Lake.
It was like a vacuum cleaner was constantly sucking dust.
Then, in the center of the Black Lake, a huge whirlpool appeared, attracting everyone's attention.
Then, a mast appeared in the center of the lake, followed by the hull...
A large black ship suddenly appeared in the center of the Black Lake!
Black touched his chin. This Armstrong ship appeared in the Black Lake like this, which was a bit like teleportation magic.
The ship docked, and a group of young people wearing fur cloaks came to Dumbledore under the leadership of a tall and thin man.
"Dumbledore! My dear old friend, how are you doing?"
Karkaroff shook hands with Dumbledore enthusiastically.
Then he greeted Ms. Maxime beside him.
At this time, the students were in a commotion again because they saw Krum.
Everyone has seen his wonderful performance in the World Cup final, and Krum is a Quidditch superstar!
Karkaroff looked at Krum with some pride, that was the pride of his Durmstrang!
But... after seeing Black, Karkaroff's smile froze for a moment.
Fortunately, he is a professor this year! Thinking of this, Karkaroff's mood became happy again!
"So it seems that we still have a guest who hasn't come yet?"
"Yes, Grindelwald hasn't come yet." Dumbledore said expressionlessly.
Karkaroff stood by with a bit of anticipation. He was once a Death Eater, and it was his nature to admire the strong. Not to mention, this Grindelwald was once a student of Durmstrang, so it was not a bad thing to take this opportunity to make friends with this big shot.
"Otherwise, let's go in. If that personCome on, just come in by yourself. "Dumbledore was a little impatient. He had patience with everyone, but he didn't have any more patience with this old bastard!
"This... isn't good." Karkaroff said hesitantly.
However, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were indeed old rivals, so it was normal for Dumbledore to have such an attitude now.
"Ahem, professor, he seems to be here." Blake pulled Dumbledore's sleeve and whispered. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Dumbledore sighed helplessly and turned his head to look into the distance, but there was no movement in the distance.
"In the sky..." Blake pointed to the sky.
I saw a ship suddenly appearing in the dense dark clouds in the sky!
This ship was larger and more majestic than the one of Durmstrang. Dumbledore was even on the ship. Seeing the cannon...
Seeing this ship, Cassandra and the others couldn't help but glance at Black...
Isn't this the Black Pearl that Black took them on during the previous holiday?
Black could only smile awkwardly...
Dumbledore also recognized this ship. After all, he had seen it in the cave where Voldemort hid his Horcruxes.
Dumbledore frowned and whispered, "Did you lend it to him?"
"Well... he insisted on borrowing it..."
"You gave it to him because he insisted?"
"Professor, he was just trying to save the situation. It's harmless. Doesn't this just show that they have no foundation in Nurmengard? Otherwise, why would they need to borrow it from me? You will use this point to laugh at him later! "Black whispered on the side.
Dumbledore felt much better after hearing this. That's right! Grindelwald's crappy school has no foundation at all. It has only been established for a few years! He even has to borrow props from children for his appearance. What kind of future is this? That's right! I will laugh at him later!
However, this huge ship that suddenly appeared was a great shock to those who had never seen the Black Pearl!
Especially Ms. Maxime and Karkaroff, they were secretly surprised in their hearts. It really deserves to be Grindelwald. This way of appearance... is much more stylish than theirs!
"Boom! "
The Black Pearl landed in the Black Lake and then slowly approached the shore.
Just now everyone thought that Durmstrang's ship was very impressive.
But now that the two ships were close together, people realized that compared with Grindelwald's ship, Durmstrang's ship was like a piece of junk just fished out from the bottom of the sea...
Drmstrang's limelight was immediately taken away, but Karkaroff didn't have the courage to express his dissatisfaction.[]
Karkaroff even thought of several flattering remarks.
The step was put on the shore, and Grindelwald's familiar figure appeared on the step.
His eyes swept over the Hogwarts teachers and students at the gate of the castle, and a very happy smile immediately appeared on his face..
Behind him, there were more than a dozen young men and women in black uniforms. Their uniforms looked like military uniforms...
And the first girl to come ashore was Black's acquaintance, Winsty, the victim of the Lockhart case and the daughter of the first vampire Black encountered. The well-fitting uniform made her look very heroic.
"Aha! Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Grindelwald greeted several principals enthusiastically.
Karkaroff and Ms. Maxime were very reserved when facing this ruthless man, and greeted him in a very formal way. Karkaroff was so nervous that he couldn't even say the compliments he had prepared long ago...
Only Dumbledore didn't say anything, but looked at him with a mocking look.
Grindelwald certainly knew why the other party's mocking look was for, but... I just borrowed it, so what! It's face-saving to appear like this!
"If someone could arrive on time, we might have been sitting in the warm hall for dinner." Dumbledore turned around and walked towards the hall without waiting for Grindelwald's response.
Black felt that Dumbledore's attack power today was like eating 1.4 Snapes.
Grindelwald saw that Dumbledore ignored him and didn't care much. He put his arm around Black's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for your boat! Black! By the way, can you help me get a boat like that in the future? I will provide the manpower and money, and you just need to provide the blueprint!"
When Grindelwald first appeared, everyone present began to look at him with curious eyes.
After all, everyone present had studied the history of magic, and naturally knew that the Grindelwald in front of them was the one who stirred up the storm in Europe.
Fortunately, their headmaster Dumbledore defeated him and curbed his original ambition.
So, the students were actually both afraid and curious about this legendary figure.
Seeing that he was so familiar with Black, all kinds of discussions immediately sounded around.
The newspaper said that Grindelwald established the charity organization at Black's suggestion. Now it seems that it is indeed true.
Unlike students from other schools who were curious about Grindelwald, many students from Durmstrang showed hatred towards Grindelwald.
For these students from Eastern Europe, Grindelwald is a demon!
But now, this demon has broken free from the cage, set up a school, and brought his school students to compete with them? !
They looked at the students in uniforms behind Grindelwald, and their eyes seemed to be spitting out flames.
We can't do anything to you, Grindelwald, but can't we do anything to your students? They are all schools that teach black magic, so why should we be afraid of you? !
The students of Nurmengard immediately sensed the hostility from the students of Durmstrang, and then glared back.
It can be said that the semi-finals has not yet fully begun.The smell has already begun to spread! .
