The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 470 470. Decoration, Ice Sculpture, Dance

"Come and take a look!"

Fred lay in front of the dormitory window and shouted to Scott and Roger.

Scott and Roger walked up to him and looked out through the closed glass window.

The elegant and gorgeous architecture of Beauxbatons has completely changed. Now, it looks like a crystal clear ice and snow castle.

In the huge fountain square in front of the castle, there are countless ice sculptures of different shapes, large and small. Even the statue of Mr. and Mrs. Flamel in the center of the fountain is covered with ice and snow.

Looking from a distance through the falling snowflakes like feathers, everything in front of me is full of dreamlike atmosphere.

"Wow."

Roger and Scott exclaimed at the same time.

" Beauxbatons is really generous," Roger said. "The French really like to make everything exaggerated."

Then you have never seen Madame Maxime’s office in the sky garden, which is full of dreamy girlish atmosphere.

Scott cursed.

"Quickly, change your clothes and let's go take a look."

Fred turned and ran back to the bed and started changing.

Scott went to the bathroom first, then changed out of his pajamas, put on a thick cloak, and went to the lobby on the first floor with his two roommates.

At this time everyone is enjoying breakfast.

"Merry Chrismas!"

"Merry Chrismas!"

After saying hello to each other, the three of them sat down and started eating.

"You've all seen it!" Angelina said, " Beauxbatons' Christmas costume!"

Fred took a sip of the hot soup and nodded in response, "I see, they really don't mind the trouble."

"I said, don't you have any ideas?" Angelina looked at everyone present.

Fred looked up, "What do you think? Should we envy them?"

"That's not what I meant!" Angelina glanced at him unhappily.

Caccini turned to her and asked, "You want to decorate our tower?"

"That's right." Angelina held Caccini's hand and looked at Fred, "It seems that Caccini and I have a better understanding!"

Fred blinked, "What's the point of decorating the tower?"

"Of course it's to show the elegance of our Hogwarts and not to be compared with those nasty French guys." Angelina said matter-of-factly.

Her statement was immediately agreed by some people, especially girls.

In short, since Scott's competition points were deducted, everyone at Hogwarts has had opinions on the French guys.

"But this tower is only a part of our Hogwarts." Fred made a small distance between his thumb and index finger, "A small part."

"So what, we can't lose anyway!" Caccini said.

Angelina glared at Fred, "Or are you saying you don't want to support my proposal?"

"No." Fred's expression changed instantly, "You have a great idea, Angelina! The Christmas dance won't start until tonight, and we have nothing to do!"

The boys present looked at him expressionlessly.

But the shameless Fred didn't care. Instead, he changed his face and said, "What's wrong, am I wrong? Move it, boys, this is the girl's wish!"

Although the boys all wanted to give Fred a good beating, they were all defeated by the pleading looks of the girls.

Anyway...

After breakfast, the work of "decorating the best tower and defeating the nasty Frenchman" officially began.

"Very good, everyone, let's take action." Angelina said excitedly.

Afterwards, the girls gathered together and discussed how to decorate the tower more gorgeously.

The boys looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Scott, who couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said, "Okay, before we take action, we must make a plan that everyone is satisfied with. After the plan is determined, we will assign tasks to everyone."

When everyone looked over, Scott took out his wand and waved it gently, chanting a spell, turning the empty long table into a tower as tall as one person.

Of course, the exterior looks exactly like the tower they live in.

"First test the decoration scheme on this model, and then take action after confirming it," he said.

"Oh Scott, that's a great idea!"

The girls got excited and started circling the model of the tower.

Soon, a few people who were good at transfiguration were selected and used the collected branches to transform into various decorations.

Others discussed decoration plans among themselves, striving to make the tower astonishing to all Frenchmen.

On a whim, Scott came up with some interesting ideas while using transfiguration to create decorations.

Time passed quickly, and they kept overturning and starting over. Finally, two hours later, the tower model was decorated to everyone's satisfaction and the final plan was finalized.

"marvelous!"

"They will be shocked!"

"Jaw dropped!"

Looking at their results, the girls were very excited.

"Okay, let's start assigning tasks now." Scott clapped his hands.

"No, I think there is still a big problem." Ethan pointed to the gorgeous tower model, "These decorations, where are we going to find the real ones?"

In an instant, everyone became calm.

Ethan added: "Well... even if we use the transformation technique, we still need materials of similar size. Do we have to cut down trees?"

"Scott can use spells on Transfiguration products!" Fred raised his hand, "An expansion spell can solve this problem!"

Everyone looked at Scott.

Scott immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Angelina said happily: "Really? It seems that we don't need to assign tasks. Scott just needs to enlarge all the decorations on the model!"

Just as Scott was about to speak, everyone interrupted him.

"Great!"

"Get moving, Scott!"

"The most difficult task is left to you!"

"You are our warrior!"

"Of course... no problem." Scott laughed, "But you are not idle."

He waved his wand, let the model float up, and then walked out of the tower.

"First, students from the Quidditch teams of each college, the work of installing the decorations is left to you."

"We didn't bring brooms!" Fred said loudly.

"It doesn't matter."

Scott stood in front of the tower, placed the tower model in the snow, and then waved his wand again.

"Flocks of birds!"

"Caw...Caw..."

A flock of crows were summoned by him, chirping happily.

"Get bigger!"

"Get bigger!"

...

Scott used several expansion spells in succession, making several crows grow huge, and then pointed at them and said, "This is your flying mount!"

"Oh! Cool!" Fred's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

"I haven't tried riding a crow yet." Roger also looked interested.

"No, I absolutely don't want to fly around on a crow!" Angelina refused loudly.

Scott shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, how to assign tasks is up to you."

He turned around and used the movement spell to remove all the decorations on the tower model and put them neatly.

"Okay, you must pick up these things and fly to the corresponding places, so that I can make them the right size."

Several boys picked up the decorations and climbed on the backs of the crows.

As the only female Quidditch player, Angelina was let go by them.

Scott said to the "pilots": "These crows have been trained and can understand simple commands, such as up, down, left, right, etc. Very good, take off!"

"Quack...Quack..."

The crows cried excitedly and soon flew up.

"Oh!"

"Cool!"

The "pilots" also shouted excitedly.

Soon, they all flew to the corresponding positions.

"What should we do next?"

Fred shouted in the sky.

"Wait."

Scott instantly transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew into the sky. When he flew to the top of the tower and next to Fred, he turned back into human form.

At the same time, his cloak fluttered up, allowing him to float in the air for a short time.

"Oh Scott, you are such a little sly guy." Fred said dissatisfiedly, "You only care about showing off yourself."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Scott waved his wand and used the expansion spell on the golden star in Fred's hand.

"Wait!" Fred shouted, "I want to install it on the top of the tower! Damn it! How can I fix it!"

Scott waved his wand again and cast a permanent sticking spell.

"Oh... Permanent Sticking Spell?" Fred blinked, "How can I take it off when the time comes?"

Scott said, "Maybe... Use the End of All Spells?"

"Okay, never mind."

Fred waved at Dumbledore standing in the room at the top of the tower.

Dumbledore pushed open the window and said to them cheerfully, "Oh, do a good job, boys."

"Got it, Professor Dumbledore!"

Fred saluted in a weird way.

Scott turned into a peregrine falcon again, flew to where Cedric was, and turned back into human form.

"I'm thinking about a problem."

Cedric said to Scott.

"What?" Scott asked.

"You don't need us at all, you can still use the moving spell on them." Cedric said.

"Shh." Scott made a gesture to silence, then said with a smile, "This is also fun, isn't it?"

"Well... you're right." Cedric thought about it and laughed.

Scott winked at him, and once again turned into a peregrine falcon and flew to the other side.

After more than an hour of hard work, they finally completed the general work.

Of course, the first floor of the tower was completed by other students besides the "pilot".

After the work was completed, Scott turned the crows back to their original size, and everyone ran to the edge of the grass and looked at their successful labor from a distance.

But they soon gave a more subtle evaluation of their work.

"Well..."

"I don't know why..."

"It looks like a huge Christmas tree."

The pointed tower with various decorations, doesn't it look like a huge Christmas tree?

Scott had expected this.

But he thought it was interesting, so he didn't say anything just now.

"Why didn't you think so when you looked at the model just now?" Angelina's tone was full of confusion.

"There's nothing wrong with the Christmas tree." Fred said quickly, "At least, it's bigger than all the Christmas trees in Beauxbatons!"

Angelina added, "Oh, maybe we need to install some sparkling colored lights, so that it will look good at night."

Hearing her suggestion, the girls' eyes lit up again.

Scott immediately said, "The work of making colored lights can be handed over to Fred, he is best at making some interesting gadgets."

"That's right!"

"Leave it to you, Fred!"

"This is the part you are best at!"

"It's just a magic light, it shouldn't be difficult for you!"

The boys quickly echoed Scott's words and handed this glorious and arduous task to Fred.

"Don't worry about the installation."

Scott took out his broom from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to Fred.

"I'll lend you my broom!"

Fred looked at Scott in disbelief.

"Very good!"

Seeing that Fred didn't move, Angelina reached out to take Scott's broom and patted Fred on the back.

"Quick! Quick! Get moving, Fred!"

"No, you're wrong." Fred frowned and said, "George is good at making gadgets..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Angelina glared at him again.

Fred wanted to drag Scott into the water, "Scott..."

But the moment his eyes looked over, Scott turned around immediately.

"Let's go! Let's get some ice from the lake, and then make some ice sculptures!"

He turned and left.

"Good idea!"

The other boys followed him.

At this moment, Scott seemed to hear Fred's heartbreaking voice.

But he didn't look back, but took a big step and walked away mercilessly.

A group of people ran to the lake and couldn't help laughing, causing the Durmstrang students in the ghost ship to stick their heads out of the cabin.

Scott smiled and said, "Magic lamps are indeed not difficult to make, but think about it, if you want to decorate the entire tower, how many magic lamps does Fred need to make?"

"Obviously, the answer is countless, and we can't use the copy spell on magic lamps." Cedric shook his head.

Roger said, "Oh poor Fred, I'm afraid he can't attend the Christmas ball tonight!"

This is a very easy reason to think clearly, but girls are sometimes unwilling to reason.

In short, before Angelina really realized the reality, poor Fred could only work harder.

"Look at this ice..."

Scott took a few steps forward and tried to use a cutting spell on the ice.

But unfortunately, his cutting spell failed to destroy the thick ice, leaving only a few deep white marks on the ice.

"Smash to pieces!"

Roger used a more destructive crushing spell.

The ice that was previously damaged by Scott exploded instantly and turned into flying fragments. Everyone cursed and dodged.

"It doesn't seem to work?"

Roger smiled and put away his wand.

"I'll try again."

Scott turned into a peregrine falcon again and flew to the center of the lake, then turned back into a human form in the air.

With the help of the cloak temporarily floating in the air, he pulled out his wand and waved it downwards.

"Thunder Explosion!"

At the moment the spell was cast, he turned into a peregrine falcon and flew higher.

Boom!

There was a loud noise below.

Crack, crack...

The cracks on the ice began to spread.

When all the noises stopped, Scott landed on the undamaged part of the ice and waved to the group of people on the shore.

His classmates quickly ran over.

Scott pointed to the largest piece of the split ice, "Let's use the moving spell together to bring it back."

Everyone took out their wands and cast spells on the ice.

Under the combined effect of everyone's spells, the huge ice block slowly rose and floated in the air.

"Let's go, let's take it back first!"

Scott directed everyone and brought the huge ice block to the front of the tower together.

The girls all ran out of the tower, and of course, Fred ran faster than everyone else.

"Oh my God, what a big piece of ice!" His expression was very exaggerated, "Do you need my help?"

No one paid attention to him.

Cedric patted Scott on the shoulder, "I think it's up to you to perform next."

Hearing his words, everyone else stepped back a few steps and handed the venue to Scott.

Scott did not refuse. He thought about it and soon came up with an idea in his mind.

He walked forward with his wand, slowly chanting the spell, while firmly waving the wand, and finally directly put the tip of the wand on the ice.

Soon, the originally very hard ice softened and flowed like mud.

At the same time, a series of ancient magic words began to spread on the surface of the ice with the tip of Scott's wand as the center.

The flowing ice layer was stretched, and then moved, first winding upward around the surface of the tower, and soon it was pinched into a specific shape out of thin air.

When the ice became hard again, Scott's transformation magic this time was over.

He turned the ice into four crystal clear animals.

On the top of the tower is a vigorous eagle, the eagle grasps the top of the tower with its claws, and its wings spread, about to fly.

The tower is a winding snake, with its body wrapped around it and its mouth open, like it is hunting.

On the side of the tower is a majestic lion, lying on all fours on the side of the tower, with its eyes slightly narrowed and a lazy look on its face.

In front of the tower is a cute badger. The honey badger rests its forelimbs on the steps of the gate, looking back and looking sideways, alert and agile.

Although the bodies of the four huge animals are made of ice, they are full of details and lifelike.

Scott looked at his work, estimated his remaining magic power, and felt satisfied.

If he had performed such a large-scale transformation before drinking the magic-enhancing potion, there would have been very little magic left, but now he can do it with ease and can even perform it again.

Everyone looked up and stared for a while before commenting.

"Good job, Scott."

"I have to say that the tower looks much better now than before."

"Very good! So majestic and beautiful!"

They soon started arguing with each other again.

"I like the eagle best."

"No, snakes are more majestic."

"If you ask me, the lion is the most powerful!"

Cedric did not fight for the prestige of the badger representing Hufflepuff, but asked Scott curiously, "I noticed that you also engraved the magic circuit just now. Does it have any effect?"

"It has no other effect." Scott said with a smile, "It just shines."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the four crystal-clear animals emitted light of different colors.

Against the backdrop of these lights, the ice sculptures suddenly became radiant and gorgeous.

"Wow……"

Seeing such changes, everyone let out an exclamation.

Scott nodded with satisfaction, "It's daytime now, so it's not obvious. It should look better at night."

"Great!" Fred cheered loudly, "I don't have to make those damn magic lamps anymore!"

He looked delighted.

But at the same time, he also received Angelina's "death gaze".

"Tell me, Fred," Angelina said, "What are 'those damn magic lights'?"

Fred immediately changed his tune, "Oh you heard me wrong, Angelina. I said 'those beautiful magic lamps'."

"You're too perfunctory!" Angelina gave him a hammer. "I'm not deaf! The pronunciations of 'damn' and 'beautiful' are not the same at all!"

Fred quickly dodged her iron fist.

"This is my habit. I usually like to use 'damn' instead of 'beautiful', so it's cooler!"

"Why didn't I know you had such a mouth habit?"

"You didn't notice."

"Really? Do you think I'm beautiful? Come on and praise me with 'damn'!"

"Oh Angelina, you look so damn beautiful today!"

"You... forget it, um, I'll let you go for now."

Angelina was satisfied and Fred escaped.

This made Scott and the others who were watching very sorry.

What they were expecting was obviously a one-sided beating, so why did it suddenly turn into flirting?

Is this reasonable?

Hogwarts' exaggerated tower quickly attracted onlookers.

Both Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students were surprised by their results.

Scott also heard several Durmstrang students propose decorating their ghost ships, but most of the Durmstrang students rejected their proposals.

Scott felt that their decision was obviously a wise one.

The ship has a weird shape and a hellish aura, and no matter how you decorate it, it probably won't help.

It is incompatible with the joyful atmosphere of Christmas, but it can perfectly blend into the festive atmosphere of Halloween without any decoration.

Today's Christmas dance starts at seven o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, everyone in Hogwarts Tower was busy taking care of their personal appearance.

Several girls were gathered in the common room. They were all busy applying skin care, applying makeup to each other, using hair care potions to take care of their hair, and bursting into cheerful laughter from time to time.

Scott and the others also returned to the dormitory, trying to make their hair look more handsome, and then put on their respective dresses.

Scott cast a drying spell, then used the wand as a hair dryer to blow his slightly curly hair into a neater shape.

After getting his hair styled, he sprayed it with styling spray.

Roger prepared the styling potion, but Scott and Fred used up most of it.

Afterwards, Scott found the dress that was ready.

His dress was custom-made before coming to Beauxbatons, at the Fengya Wizard Clothing Shop in Hogsmeade Village.

First, fitted trousers, a white shirt, a black tie, and a black vest.

Then a dark blue satin robe.

The satin surface of this robe is embroidered with silver patterns. These patterns are generally not eye-catching, but they can sparkle under the light, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of the ball.

Scott put on his robe, adjusted it in the mirror, and finally pinned a Hogwarts badge on his chest.

"Are you all dressed?"

He looked back at the other two.

Roger and Fred's dresses were also new.

Roger wore calm black, but Fred wore dazzling red.

"Are you exaggerating a little bit?" Roger said to Fred, "Your robe and hair have blended in, oh, and you have those red freckles on your face, it's a disaster. "

Fred himself was satisfied.

He straightened his tie in the mirror, raised his chin and said, "This is exactly what I want. I asked about it. The dress Angelina prepared is also red."

Roger said disapprovingly: "I think your red hair is enough to match her red dress. You should wear a black dress to set off her skin. That is obviously more ingenious."

"No!" Fred did not accept his opinion, "I just want to shine so that everyone can see at a glance that Angelina and I are a couple!"

"If so, you will definitely be very successful." Roger looked away.

After the three of them took care of themselves, they were about to leave the dormitory when the [Magic Mirror] that Scott placed on the table suddenly lit up.

Fred walked over to connect the communication, and George's face appeared in the mirror.

"Oh my God." George stared at his twin brother with wide eyes, "Fred, you're like a red howling letter!"

"That's right, I just want to attract everyone's attention like a roaring letter!" Fred continued to be confident.

George nodded, "Obviously, when you put this on, you can do this without any effort."

"Thank you for the compliment, George," said Fred, "but I don't have time to talk to you. We're going to the dance."

"Go, remember to bring the [Magic Mirror]." George said, "We are all curious about how you will attend the Yule Ball."

"No, I don't have time for such a thing today." Fred refused.

George immediately said: "Then we should talk about the fact that you misappropriated the joint funds of our store to buy this red shouting letter jacket."

"I don't care about this." Fred waved his hand, "Today is Christmas, and I am going to the dance with the girl I like. No one wants me to stupidly hold up a mirror to live broadcast for you!"

With that said, he hung up the communication directly.

"Come on, it's time for us to go out."

he said to Scott and Roger.

Scott turned his head and glanced at the [Magic Mirror] on the table.

"Don't worry about it." Fred pushed his back, "At most, after the dance is over, we can let them see the tower we decorated, oh, if they haven't gone to bed by then."

It was indeed not convenient to "live broadcast" today, so Scott didn't say anything.

The three of them walked out of the dormitory and returned to the common room.

At this time, the boys had already taken care of themselves and sat on the sofa, but the girls had not appeared yet.

"Do we need to wait here?" Roger asked, "Except for the guy whose dance partner is one of our own, can we leave first? After all, we can't let the girl wait there."

"Oh Roger, can't you wait to meet your Catrine?"

Caccini, wearing a long white dress, came down the stairs.

She didn't listen to Roger's advice and put on a wig, but after putting on makeup and jewelry, although her hair was short, she no longer looked like a boy.

"Oh Kachini, thank God." Roger looked her over a few times, "After seeing you, I couldn't help but feel relieved for Krum. He will finally not be suspected of his sexual orientation."

Caccini glared at him, "It's not convenient for me to teach you a lesson now, but I will remember it."

Just then, Dumbledore came down from upstairs.

"Are you all ready?" he asked loudly.

"Ready!"

The girls ran out of the dormitory quickly, each of them dressed beautifully.

"Very well, let's set off together."

Dumbledore walked downstairs again.

"Good evening, Angelina."

Fred took the initiative to walk next to Angelina, who was wearing a red dress.

"Oh, you……"

Angelina stared at Fred, who was all red.

Fred puffed up his chest and asked her with a smile, "How is it? Does it match your outfit?"

"yes……"

Angelina covered her mouth and kept laughing.

"Okay, now there are two howler letters." Roger muttered next to Scott.

Everyone walked out of the tower and couldn't help but stop and admire their results in the night.

At this time, the four animals representing the four major houses of Hogwarts were all shining brightly, which was very eye-catching.

"Oh Scott, you should do the same thing at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said with a smile.

When they came to the square in front of Beauxbatons Castle, they found that the ice sculptures here were of different styles up close.

This place seems to have turned into a forest carved by ice and snow. The forest is full of magical animals of different shapes, and of course, there are also all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

Walking into this ice and snow forest, they felt as if they had entered a pure white world. Everything they could see was pure white, with a hazy white mist rising from the ground, and tiny stars twinkling in the mist.

Passing through the forest, they entered the ice-covered castle.

Beauxbatons' huge banquet hall also changed its style once again.

The ice and snow are flying, the Christmas trees are neatly arranged, ice sculptures like diamond statues are scattered under the trees, the stars decorate the dance floor, mistletoe, ivy and golden bells are hung everywhere... Everything forms a dream And a beautiful picture.

Accompanied by cheerful music, students from the three schools slowly walked into the banquet hall wearing gorgeous dresses.

At this time, Madame Maxime, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked to the dance floor.

"Please come here with your partners, warriors." Her deep voice sounded.

Scott walked over to her and joined Fleur, who was wearing a powder blue dress. Soon, Krum and Caccini also came over.

"Please take a seat, everyone."

Madam Maxime said to the others.

Everyone took a seat.

Dumbledore and the members of the jury walked to the front seats together.

Madam Maxime clapped her hands and announced happily, "Next, let's invite the Forest Fairy Choir!"

Warm applause immediately rang out in the banquet hall.

Obviously, the students of Beauxbatons looked very happy to hear this news.
