Chapter 814 Beauxbatons

Fleur seemed angry when she left, but in fact she was quite happy...happy for Connor.

　　At least Kyle’s performance just now was rated eighty to her. Even though he was right next to her, his eyes never left Kangna.

 This is already very rare.

 At least in terms of beauty, Fleur can be said to be quite confident and looks down on everyone equally.

She does have this capital. Veela's bloodline is just like the Elder Wand, unreasonably strong.

When she was in the store just now, she didn't suppress her innate charm ability at all, but she was still ignored by Kyle.

 Although she felt a little frustrated in her heart, she was more happy for Kangna.

 Because besides her sister Gabrielle Delacour, Connor is her best friend...even though they don't get along for too long.

Even though Fleur is very famous in France, a famous Beauxbatons alumnus, and a Triwizard Champion, she actually doesn’t have many friends.

 Half Veela blood not only gave her amazing beauty, but also took away her power to make friends.

　　Although she had countless suitors when she was in school, almost all of those boys had their own purposes, most of them were interested in sex, and the rest were because of the Delacour family, or both.

The Delacour family is quite well-known in France, and they are very close to Ms. Maxim, so naturally many people want to make friends with them.

 In addition to these, most of the girls were more jealous than friendly towards her.

 The cautious and sensitive nature of the Veela bloodline allows her to more clearly detect the malice hidden in the other party's heart.

 As she experienced more, her interest in making friends naturally faded away, so she usually stayed alone in school...at least until those people gathered around her.

Fleur wandered aimlessly on the street for more than ten minutes. In order not to attract too many people's attention, she simply walked into a bookstore and read in the corner to pass the time.

She didn’t know how long it had passed, but she found that the light in front of her was blocked.

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, why are you here.” Kangna stood in front of her and glanced down at the cover of the book in her hand.

 "Magic Travel Notes on Moon Mountain"

 “How come I didn’t know you like to read this type of book?”

"I don't like it," Fleur said, putting the book back on the shelf next to it, "but it's better than disturbing your mutual exchange of feelings."

“Yes, I have some discernment.” Kyle nodded, “It’s worth my time and effort to research hair conditioner for you…”

Fleur wanted to hit someone again, but this was outside after all, and she had to maintain her image as Delacour.

 “Shut up.” Connor stepped on Kyle lightly.

“We want to go outside for a walk, and you should come with us,” she said.

 “Going outside for a walk?” Fleur blinked, thinking she heard wrong.

Don’t Kyle know how he got here? Illegal entry. If you are discovered, you will be arrested!

It's enough to chat in the house, but also go outside...Are you afraid that you are not conspicuous enough?

"Do not worry."

Kyle knew what Fleur was thinking without having to guess, and immediately said: "Aurors can't catch me. Besides, I'm not one of those dangerous dark wizards with high reputations. No one will be watching me as long as I'm not on the street." Promote it loudly and that’s fine.”

“Besides, it’s rare for me to come to France. I always have to walk around, so I treat it as a vacation.”

"Ha, you can do whatever you want." Seeing that the two of them had agreed on the same idea, Fleur didn't bother to persuade her.

Anyway, even if Kyle is captured by the Aurors, the ability of the Delacour family can be used to fish him out. If that doesn't work, there is still Ms. Maxime.

As Kyle himself said, his popularity is really not that great.

Maybe his name is very famous in the UK, but this is France. Who knows who Kyle is. If it weren't for the Triwizard Tournament, she wouldn't know that there is such a person.

For such a "mediocre" wizard, it's not difficult to catch him. The most you can do is pay a large sum of Galleons.

Of course, the galleons were definitely not paid for by her...Kyle has money.

"Where do you want to go?" Several people walked out of the bookstore. Fleur immediately put on a wide sun hat and hid her face under the brim.

“The first stop must be Beauxbatons.” Kyle said without hesitation.

Coming to France without going to Beauxbatons is like going to England and not eating fish and chips. You are missing out on the most unique thing.

"I have a discerning eye. Ms. Maxim happened to tell me about you a few days ago. We can go and see her together." Fleur nodded.

“Just wait a moment.” She looked around and walked into a shop.

 “What did she do?” Kyle asked curiously.

 Connor shook her head.

Even though she has been in France for so long, she doesn’t know much about everything around her than Kyle. She only knows that the sign of the store Fleur went into says...Mrs. Seril’s travel essentials?

  That’s what it means anyway.

But they didn't wait long, it only took about five minutes before Fleur came out, and at the same time she had an extra carpet in her hand.

 “Why are you buying a carpet?”

"I would say you British wizards are ignorant." Fleur looked disgusted, "What carpet, this is a flying carpet.

“After all, with your identity, you can’t apparate or ride in a magic carriage. We can’t ride a broomstick to Beauxbatons.”

 “Follow me.” She led the two of them to a fenced-in area next to Gringotts, opened the floor... and spread the flying carpet on the ground.

 “Sit up, what are you waiting for? It will be dark in a little while.”

Kyle quickly walked to sit on the blanket, and Connor followed closely and sat next to him.

I don’t know what Furong did after that. The flying carpet immediately floated and flew forward quickly.

 It was the first time for Kyle to use this kind of transportation. He patted the blanket in front of him. Although he was in mid-air, he still felt like he was sitting on the ground, without any feeling of being suspended in the air.

“It’s such a waste of money.” Kyle sighed: “I didn’t expect that because of our impromptu idea, you bought a special vehicle.”

"Instead of talking about this, why don't you give me the money to buy the flying carpet." Fleur said without looking back.

“This is a big deal.” Kyle tilted his head to the side, “It hurts my feelings to talk about money, and I can’t take this thing with me.”

"Can't you take it with you... Oh, by the way, I remember you don't have a flying carpet over there." Fleur in front asked.

“No,” Kyle said. “This is my first time on a flying carpet.”

 In the British Ministry of Magic, flying carpets are prohibited trade contraband. As a good wizard who abides by the law, he certainly has not experienced it.

"You are really weird." Fleur couldn't help but ask: "Why ban this convenient means of transportation? Flying carpets are more comfortable than large flying broomsticks no matter what. In France, this is the most popular means of transportation. tool."

"This is an oversight." Kyle thought for a moment, "Carpets have been registered as Muggle artifacts a long time ago, and it is forbidden to use magic on them."

“So as long as this thing flies over the UK, it is illegal, and the process of changing a bill is too cumbersome. The left and right are just a means of transportation, maybe the ministers don’t think it is necessary.”

 “Tsk.” Fleur smacked her lips for a while, but said nothing more.

Just like Britain has a dedicated floo network, France seems to have a path for flying carpets. No Muggle looked up at them along the way.

Although Kyle felt that the speed of the flying carpet was not very good, they reached the Pyrenees Mountains far away from Paris in only one hour.

This is also where Beauxbatons was founded, just like its other name, the Magic Garden located in the mountains.

Hibiscus drove the flying carpet forward, flying over the mountain peaks, through the thick clouds, and from the edge to the middle of the mountains.

 Finally, the flying carpet stopped on the highest mountain nearby.

"We're here." Fleur said with a bit of pride on her face, pointing forward, "That's Beauxbatons."

Following the direction of her finger, Kyle saw a huge manor surrounded by mountains. Yes, one piece, Beauxbatons itself is like a strangely shaped mountain peak.

This is the largest place he has ever seen, bigger than Hogwarts... of course, provided that the Forbidden Forest is not included.

 “How do you feel?” Fleur asked.

 “Better than Hogwarts,” Kyle said.

This is the truth. The most magical place in Hogwarts is the inside. From the outside, it looks like an old castle, and it is even a bit eerie when there is no light at night.

But Beauxbatons is much more majestic. At first glance, you can see it is a large area of ​​dazzling gold and blue, and the shape of the building is more elegant.

Especially the huge fountain in front of the castle, it was the most magnificent fountain he had ever seen. The water column could shoot out nearly fifty feet high, and then the water column would spread out evenly from different heights, forming seven layers of huge circular water curtains. .

Even the colors of these water curtains are different. There are seven colors in total, like a spherical rainbow. Around it, there are three flying Pegasus, which are also made of water.

Comparing it with it, the one in the Ministry of Magic is like a faucet that is installed backwards. Not only is it unoriginal, it also doesn’t look good.

 “Everyone who sees Beauxbatons for the first time thinks so.” Fleur said with a smile. "Come on, I'll take you in."

“Is it okay now?” Kyle asked: “You have graduated, and we are not from this school yet.”

"Of course others can't, but you can." Fleur said, "If you want, you can become a formal professor of Beauxbatons tomorrow."

"It's really tempting." Kyle said with a smile, "If Hogwarts is occupied by a mysterious person one day, I will consider this proposal."

"What a decisive refusal." Fleur said. She naturally heard what Kyle meant, but she didn't care.

  She has graduated anyway, and it is Ms. Maxim who wants to poach Kyle.

“Follow me, don’t make a mistake, or I’ll have to look for you.” Furong, who was standing on the top of the mountain, took a step forward. She suddenly fell rapidly, then disappeared into a cloud.

“Kanna, don’t move for now. Let Kyle jump first. I’ll pick you up later.” Fleur’s voice grew smaller and smaller in the air.

 In fact, she didn’t need to remind her. Seeing this scene, Kangna’s face turned pale and she subconsciously took two steps back.

 Although she also knew that this was some kind of magic that entered Beauxbatons, just like the pillar on Platform 9.

 But I know that jumping from such a high place is still a bit difficult to accept.

 With such a stimulating entrance, is Beauxbatons really a serious school?

 Besides, she didn’t enter like this when she came last time.

Just when Kangna was hesitant, she felt her hand being grabbed.

"It's okay, Fleur did it on purpose." Kyle comforted her softly.

"on purpose?"

“Well, it’s just a large magical illusion. It’s a device to protect Beauxbatons. Even the place we are standing on is not a mountain.”

Kyle pulled Kangna and walked a few steps to the left, then walked around a pine tree and stopped in front of a boulder.

“This is it,” Kyle said. “Go forward.”

Kanna subconsciously took a step forward.

Then she saw that everything around her had changed. The originally bare top of the mountain had turned into two huge stone pillars with carved statues. She was standing between the two stone pillars, which was the middle of the Beauxbatons gate. .

"Kyle, have you been to Beauxbatons before?" Fleur's questioning voice came from not far away.

 “No.” Kyle also appeared next to Kang Na.

 “Then how do you know the right way?”

“Although I have never been here, I have read many books about alchemy and have also been to Nico’s manor.”

Kyle stepped forward and patted the eye of the thunderbird statue on the pillar, which was a dazzling sapphire.

“A very classic protective alchemy item. There is this one at the entrance of Nico Manor. Combined with the magic text on the body, it can hide everything within the range.” Kyle said lightly.

 In fact, there is the same setting at the entrance of Nico Manor.

The eyes of the two fire dragon statues are also made of alchemical gems, and the scales on their bodies are also specially designed magic symbols.

Anyone who breaks in without Nico's permission will be lost in the fog.

From the perspective of onlookers, they were just spinning around in circles before being crushed by two alchemical fire dragons.

 The ones here are not that high-end.

Kyle touched the lines on the Thunderbird's wings...it was just a basic protective rune. Judging from the magic flowing on it, it was not enough to make the Thunderbird statue move.

“Hmm…” Fleur curled her lips in dissatisfaction, “How come you, a Hogwarts student, know so much about alchemy?”

　　“There are many arts that don’t overwhelm the body.” Kyle said with a smile, “Isn’t this useful?”

 “Stop showing off.”

The carefully thought out revenge plan was easily seen through by Kyle, which made Fleur feel very unhappy, so she turned around and walked forward.

“You really need to follow me this time,” she said. “Beauxbatons is not like Hogwarts. There is only one caretaker who doesn’t know magic. If they find out, they will expel you.”

“So if I follow you, I won’t be expelled?” Kyle asked.

"Of course." Fleur said, "If you are caught following me, you will definitely not be expelled, but will be transferred to the Ministry of Magic for illegal invasion of Beauxbatons."

Kyle's expression froze, "It's better to be expelled."

"I know." Fleur said nonchalantly, "So I'm going to take you to a road that few people know, which can go directly to Ms. Maxim's office."

She walked to the fountain and jumped in without hesitation.

 After learning the lesson just now, Kangna subconsciously looked at Kyle.

“This time it’s real, not a magical illusion.” Kyle shrugged.

 “Did you see it?” Connor asked.

"No," Kyle said. "The fountain itself is a large alchemy object. Even if there are some gadgets inside, I can't find it."

 “Then why are you so sure?”

"Because Fleur didn't let me jump first this time." Kyle said casually: "Since she didn't remind you, it means there is no risk involved, so there is no problem at all."

After saying that, Kyle jumped in. Several colorful fish under the fountain were frightened and quickly dispersed.

 The water droplets falling from the sky fell on him, feeling ice cold, but Kyle did not fall into the water.

The fountain was empty. He seemed to have walked directly through the water and landed in a passage.

 The passage is surrounded by clean marble, with several pieces emitting bright light, illuminating the passage very brightly.

Looking up, you can see the sparkling water surface, like the water in the pool turning over. Kyle stretched out his hand and easily touched the water.

But they are there, very calm. Even the water droplets brought down by Kyle unintentionally will float up and reintegrate into the water after a while.

 “This is the magic secret passage.” Kyle couldn’t help but sigh.

For a moment, he felt that Hogwarts was really inferior. Not only was it not as good as Beauxbatons in terms of appearance, it even had a secret passage that was not as good as others in terms of magic.
