Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 289 Foreign School and Halloween
The cold wind is blowing, but Hogwarts is bustling with activity.

The little wizards were running around pulling ribbons, and some naughty guys even turned other people's hats into pumpkin heads.

Amidst the laughter, Professor Flitwick used magic to suspend the distinctive pumpkin lanterns on the ceiling of the auditorium. He stretched out his hand, and the little wizard below handed him the carved pumpkin lanterns.

"Wow, George, look at my old witch!" Fred shouted to George, holding a jack-o-lantern that looked very much like Umbridge.

When George saw it, he laughed.

The little wizard on the side also followed closely.

"Bang!" A magic spell suddenly came out, shattering the pumpkin lantern in Fred's hand, and the pumpkin pieces fell on his face and ran down the wizard's robe into his inner clothes.

Umbridge came over with a smile on her face.

Not paying any attention to the little wizard, she looked at the ceiling, pouting and shaking her head.

Then she raised her wand and clicked...

A banner from the Ministry of Magic welcoming young wizards from other schools was hung above the head of the professor's chair. It was extremely inconsistent with the various Halloween decorations and looked nondescript.

"Oh, what are you doing, Professor Umbridge!" Professor Flitwick's beard stood up in anger.

"Hmm?" Umbridge looked at Flitwick with disdain in her eyes.

"For friends from other schools to come to Hogwarts, this is not only the glory of Hogwarts, but also the glory of the Ministry of Magic. As a senior investigator, I have the right to let them know how much effort the Ministry of Magic has made in it. "

Umbridge clicked again and turned some of the decorations hanging on the wall into signs for the Ministry of Magic welcoming students from outside schools.

"Oh!" Professor Flitwick was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He looked at the professor's chair, and then McGonagall arrived.

McGonagall frowned at Umbridge's movements, but didn't say anything.

"Filius, you go outside to greet the students from other schools first. They will be here in a moment." McGonagall managed a smile.

At this time, other professors also arrived. Today was a big day. Every professor had put on new clothes and looked extremely decent. Even Snape had his hair washed once, which was surprising.

"Wow, Harry, did you see it? Snape's hair was eaten clean by rats, haha." Ron hid aside and said to Harry. He even covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. Come.

"Stop talking, Ron, Snape is here!"

Ron's laughter stopped suddenly, but Snape had no time to care about them at this time.

"Professor Snape." Umbridge strode towards Snape and said with a slight smile: "I hope you can brew some energy potions. I think the students from other schools must be very tired after traveling long distances. As Hogwarts professors, we should treat distinguished guests favorably."

Snape frowned, but didn't refuse.

At this time, Brie walked in.

However, Bree, who had just entered, saw slogans all over the wall, showing the Ministry of Magic's external flattery.

And that huge banner...so ugly!
Bree waved her hand, turning the slogans on the wall back into decorations, and turning the banners into ribbons.

Then he looked at Umbridge.

"Professor Umbridge, don't do boring things in Hogwarts. If you respect the foreign school so much, I think Principal McGonagall will be happy to help you transfer your files and wizarding registration."

Hearing this, the other professors looked over, as if expecting Umbridge to agree.

"I...hum." Umbridge smiled, as if she didn't care about Bree's actions, but in fact she hated it so much.

"I am the Senior Investigator of the Ministry of Magic. I think in addition to representing Hogwarts, I also represent the Ministry of Magic. I should welcome visitors from other schools on behalf of the Ministry of Magic."

As Umbridge said, she wanted to turn the wall decorations and ribbons back into slogans and banners, but she found that her magic had failed.

She couldn't transform back.

Bree glanced at Umbridge and ignored her.

I saw Umbridge casting magic, but couldn't even cast a glowing spell.

what happened!

Umbridge looked at her wand in disbelief, as if she had turned into...

"A squib, Professor Squib, haha..." The Weasley twins laughed out loud.

Umbridge looked at Bree hatefully, but she did not dare to step forward, so she could only run out of Hogwarts in a hurry.

After leaving Hogwarts Castle and coming to the platform, she found that she could use magic again.

"Huh..." Umbridge breathed out reassuringly.

She then discovered that there was a small vine wrapped around her wand, preventing her from using magic in the castle.

Umbridge violently tore the vines off his wand and stormed back into the Great Hall, ready to prove he hadn't become a Squib.

At this time, there were violent noises outside, including the neighing of horses, the chirping of birds, the sound of surging in the water, the sound of ships, the roar of hurricanes...

In the sky, various flying objects rushed toward Hogwarts, and ripples were heard both above and below the Black Lake.

"Come on, come on, get ready!"

The little wizards were all in place, and the professors also dressed up, stood up, and walked out the door.

Umbridge reacted the fastest. She pulled her skirt and ran in small steps, with a smile on her face.

"Guides, get ready." Following Bree's words, a group of young wizards came out. They were all guides chosen by Bree, and they would lead the people from external schools to live in Hogwarts.

Bree took a casual look and saw that the external school's transportation was parked on the platform outside Hogwarts Castle and at the dock below.

"Let's go, Professor Oded." McGonagall said to Breede with a smile. As the principal, she walked out first.

Professor Sprout smiled gently, walked to Bree's side, and went out with Bree.

The platform was already full of people.

Umbridge was laughing and talking. If people from Hogwarts hadn't seen her clearly, they might have been confused by her lowered voice and thought she was a very weak professor.

From a distance, Bree saw teenagers from all over the world with different skins and costumes, and of course, their professors.

When these people saw Bree appear, they immediately bypassed Umbridge and walked towards Bree.

As a person who created a new power system called natural magic, this was the purpose of their trip.

Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall stopped everyone and began to introduce Bree and Hogwarts to everyone in English. Of course, there was also today's dinner and the guiding wizard prepared for them.

The guides began to translate Professor McGonagall's words, and then everyone followed the professors' guidance into the auditorium of Hogwarts.

Umbridge stared blankly at the crowd leaving her, stamped her feet fiercely, and hurriedly followed.

She will not let this opportunity go. As long as she has an international reputation, everything will be easy.

……

In the hall, the tables have been moved to both sides, and there is a huge dance floor in the middle.

"Oh, that's really nice." said the visitor from another school.

But their eyes were still on Bree.

"Hello, we are wizards from Waggadu, you can call me Hygeia." A dark-skinned woman in a brightly colored one-piece robe came over, with gold lace around her hands, ankles and neck. The collar is very bright.

"These are our children from Wagadu, Apu, Arun, and Garan."

Four wizards came to Wagadu.

"I'm glad you're here." Brie can naturally use language magic to talk.

"We in Wagadu are very much looking forward to your class." Hygia bowed slightly to Brie. She knew that now was not a good time to talk, so after saying hello to Brie, she took her little wizard to the dance floor.

The young wizards were very curious about Bree's existence because they were also the same age as Bree and were studying in fifth grade in Wagadu.

Wizards from other areas also brought their students to greet Bree, and they all left after a brief introduction very politely.

They still couldn't figure out Brie's nature, and they didn't dare to be too enthusiastic.

Finally, there are the people from XZ Academy.

"Hello, Mr. Unpredictable, I am Yeshe." The leader of the XZ Academy was a young man wearing Tibetan clothes, and he brought two students.

"I'm Dorje, hello, sir." Dorje clasped his hands and saluted Buri.

"I'm Fubu, hello, sir." Unlike Dorji, Fubu just nodded slightly to Buli, showing respect.

Like Wagadu before him, he is the same age as Brie.

Bree nodded slightly in return.

"I'm curious how you see through the essence of the world." As a scholar of XZ Academy, Yixi is a scholar who studies prophecies and astrology. He is very surprised by the origin-like power contained in natural magic.

Of course, this is part of the reason why XZ Academy decided to get involved.

He smiled, with a hint of inquiry hidden in his eyes.

Bree was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect anyone to explore this far.

"The essence of the world is all around, and she never hides it." It's just that people's own insufficiency makes them unable to see clearly.

Yixi had some insights and nodded slightly: "Then I won't disturb you. I hope we can hear more detailed knowledge in the next class."

Yeshi left with two students.

……

In the noisy party, Brie just stayed at the tables on both sides to enjoy the food, and no one came to disturb her without looking at her.

The professors performed their own duties, and as Bree pointed out, they did not treat visitors from other schools specially.

Except for Umbridge, of course.

The wizards and guides at Hogwarts are all exchanging magic with each other's students. This is the opportunity Bree gives them.

For this event, Hogwarts can't do nothing good, at least it should keep the style of the schools in other areas, and show the little wizards the outside world of magic.

As the party progressed, the foreign guests gradually let go of their restraint. The dance began, and the dances from all over the world were eye-opening.

"Brie, look, those two girls from the magic institute feel so strange." Draco sat down beside Bree, and said seriously to Bree, "Like a puppet without emotion, the emotions in the eyes Too little."

Bree followed Draco's gaze.

This time, three women and one man came to the magic institute, a female teacher and three students.

Among them, not to mention the two girls, the teacher's smile was actually full of mechanical indifference, as if he was wearing a mask and performing a task.

On the other hand, that boy was no different from ordinary people, and even a little more youthful than ordinary people.

A bit like Hazard when he first came to Hogwarts.

Bree swept the table and found Azar in a corner not far from her. Ever since he returned to Hogwarts, this guy had become depressed and seemed to have lost his energy.

"Draco, don't approach people from the magic house." Bree reminded Draco.

"I know, to be honest, there is no one in this group of people that I want to contact." Draco said with a hint of arrogance, looking down on this group of people at all.

Bree was helpless, but it was better for Draco to do this than to flatter Umbridge in a hurry.

"Where are you going, Bree?" Draco saw Bree getting up and followed suit.

"Azar, your mother is already at the centaurs' station. If you want to see her, I can notify the centaurs to take you there."

As a professor and head of Slytherin, Bree felt that she should bear this responsibility.

"Ah, really?" Hazard looked up at Bree, his eyes suddenly red.

"Thank you so much, I want to meet you tonight, can you?" Hazard looked forward to it.

Bree nodded at this, it's not a big deal.

Bree waved his hand, and a firefly appeared in front of Azar.

"Follow this firefly, it will take you to the centaur station, and no creature in the Forbidden Forest will harm you."

"But remember to come back before class tomorrow. If you are caught by another professor, I will not protect you."

"Thank you." Azar choked and stood up.

He hurriedly wanted to keep up with the fireflies, but he turned around again, grabbed a lot of candies from the table, put them in his pocket, and then left with the fireflies.

Azar's departure attracted the attention of some professors, but none of them said anything. As for Umbridge, she was thinking about it and was talking in front of the professor's door at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.

The American wizarding world is the largest gathering of wizards. With the disruption of the previous Muggle war, purebloods from many places in Europe immigrated to the United States and settled down there.

In comparison, the British wizarding world is just a small place. Even if it has a foundation, it currently does not have a foundation comparable to that of the American wizarding world.

Internationally, the British Ministry of Magic has been overshadowed by Dumbledore's light. In the eyes of the outside world, it is just borrowing Dumbledore's light.

Seeing Umbridge groveling like this, McGonagall couldn't stand it. The wizards from other schools were also a little embarrassed, but they quickly realized that they were playing with Umbridge, but there was no respect in their eyes.

Snape did not know when he came to Bree's side. He kept his face darkened and did not look at Umbridge, but said in a cold voice:
"A clothed toad sits on a stone with its nostrils turned upward. It only screams at the fish in the water. Only when the birds fly by in the tree does it jump into the water, stick its nostrils into the mud, and dig into the water. The ugly butt is showing, disgusting everyone.”

"Pfft!" Draco laughed from the side.

Bree looked at Snape's dark face and understood that Snape, who had always been indifferent to external affairs, could not accept Umbridge's behavior.

Umbridge disdains the company of fish in the same river, but when the birds outside come, she puts down her pride and shows herself ugly.

This is just because she dislikes everyone and no one takes her seriously.

"Hmph!" Snape snorted, turned and left.

"Energy Potion, I hope the Ministry of Magic will pay for it."

"Pfft... Bree, I really can't help it." Draco covered his mouth and smiled. This was the first time he had seen Snape hate someone so much. The key is that Snape didn't like it. Mitch can't help it.

Here, Harry and Ron passed by Bree's location, apparently looking for Snape.

Harry's face turned bitter when he saw Bree and Draco.

"Snape asked Ron and I to go to his office to help him refine the energy potion...sigh."

Harry sighed deeply.

Ron on the side had a grimace and didn't want to say anything.

"Go ahead, hahaha." Draco laughed louder, making Ron glare at him.

"Don't worry, Professor Snape won't... make it hard for you."

Bree didn't say much to Harry, and Harry quickly ran in the direction of Snape.

"I'm leaving too, Draco, I've already had dinner." Bree patted Draco on the shoulder and walked upstairs.

Draco shrugged. He was not interested in watching Umbridge get into trouble and walked to the Slytherin common room.
