a certain scientific harry potter

"The teacher and his wife are all well. They are now living in an off-campus nursing home." Harry replied with a smile, "They also reminded me this time that they must bring a talisman horse to welcome you together, lest you worry about your beloved horse. life here."

"Mr. Flamel is really too polite. The two rune horses were originally a gift from me, and they no longer belong to me. But I am really happy to see them being taken care of so well."

Madam Maxim's attitude was very kind. When she communicated with Harry, she did not put on any airs of elders at all, and always put Harry in a position where he could have an equal dialogue.

Her attitude inevitably made some Hogwarts people secretly surprised when they saw the clues, but Beauxbaton's students still looked normal, as if they didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Hmm... probably except for a certain older girl.

This is actually quite normal. Even without considering Harry's deeds, just as Nico Flamel's personal disciple, he is enough to be on an equal footing with any wizard in Europe!

In the face of absolute strength, age is just a number... It's a pity that many British wizards can't understand this truth.

"About these rune horses, it's not my fault, you have to thank our gamekeeper." While speaking, Harry touched Hagrid with his elbow, who was obviously in a daze, "This is Rubeus Hagrid." Ge, the professor of protection of magical animals at Hogwarts, these two horses have been taken care of by him, even if a feather falls off, it will take a long time~"

"I... yeah, I usually cherish them very much! I only feed them the best single malt whiskey, and I usually compete with them!" Feeling Harry reminding himself quietly, Hagrid felt like a dream After waking up, he began to talk to Mrs. Maxim about his daily life of raising horses.

And Mrs. Maxim was listening with a smile like this, and there seemed to be a flash of excitement in her eyes.

"In short... I will take good care of the horses you brought this time!" After the stumbling promise, Hagrid seemed to have a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Well, you... no, I mean we..."

He was completely incoherent now, and seeing someone of his own parentage all of a sudden, and a lady who seemed so beautiful to him, Hagrid now felt like his tongue was completely stuck.

"Hagrid, I know you're very excited now, but I'd better trouble you to join the ranks first." Dumbledore interrupted the large-scale compatriot recognition scene, "Our other guests have also arrived."

As soon as the words fell, there was a very strange sound in everyone's ears, booming, and it sounded very low.

The sound came from the Black Lake. The students stood on the top of the slope overlooking the grass, and suddenly found that the dark water suddenly lost its calm. Huge waves began to hit the shore of the lake, and a turbulent vortex appeared in the center of the lake, as if It was a plug that had been pulled out at the bottom of the lake.

Immediately afterwards, a long black pole rose slowly from the vortex, it was a mast.

Connected to the mast is a large ship, which looks very strange, like a skeleton with ghost fire in its eyes, or a wreck of a shipwreck that has just been salvaged, bumping towards the shore of the lake.

The Durmstrang came by ship, and a magical ship capable of traveling freely in any body of water.

When the ship docked on the shore of the Black Lake, Harry couldn't help but wondered, it seems that among the three European schools, only Hogwarts has no means of transportation for students to travel long distances together?

So how will the Hogwarts contestants go to their opponent's school when the next competition is held in another school?

While Harry was thinking wildly, Durmstrang's students came ashore. Each of them was very big, basically the same size as Crabbe and Goyle in the Snake Yard.

However, when they got closer, everyone realized that the reason why they looked so tall was because they were all wearing thick fur cloaks.

The man leading them to the castle wore a cloak of silky silver fur that resembled his hair.

Harry knew the man, Igor Karkaroff, one of the former Death Eaters.

A guy like him, who was tainted by himself and got away with betraying other Death Eaters, unexpectedly became the principal of one of the three schools after just ten years. , or the European wizarding world really doesn't have any memories.

"Dumbledore," Karkaroff said, walking quickly up the steps, "dear old chap, are you all right?"

"Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore responded enthusiastically.

Before he had a few words with Madam Maxime, Harry took the topic away, so at this moment, he gave all the enthusiasm to the later Karkaroff.

"Professor Karkaroff, please take this." Professor McGonagall thoughtfully presented the second batch of blue bellflower flames at this time.

"Ha, this thing came just in time!" Although Karkaroff thanked with a smile, his eyes were always cold and sharp, "Victor just happened to have a cold, so I can finally warm him up. "

hum~

The entire welcome team suddenly fell into a turmoil, because a young man with a hooked nose and thick eyebrows appeared-Victor Krum, the best Seeker in the Quidditch World Cup that ended before!

Many people didn't expect that he would be a student of Durmstrang, and what they didn't expect was...he would come to Hogwarts with the team!

When the students began to pour into the auditorium, they could no longer contain their excitement. Many boys started whispering or shouting, and a large group of girls began to search their pockets for quills for autographs. A lipstick dispute.

And among all the students who like Quidditch, the only one who doesn't have any feelings for Viktor Krum is probably Will. After all, the opponent's position absolutely conflicts with his ideas, and Will is more fans The trinity suitors of Ireland.

Harry found Hermione and Luna in the turbulent crowd, and the two girls shook their heads at him cryptically... The blue bellflower flame didn't find anything, and the people from these two schools seemed to be fine.

"Then keep an eye on Karkaroff first." A glint flashed in Harry's eyes.

The news of Voldemort's return, the Death Eaters will definitely be able to confirm, so any Death Eater must definitely re-select the team.

Since we can't find out the enemy's movements for the time being, it's better to keep an eye on this one in the school first.

Chapter 620 Slytherin, the 'sound' is famous

After the welcome ceremony, the students who had stood on the playground for a long time could finally go to the auditorium and sit down together.

Beauxbaton's students naturally chose the Eagle Dean's table. After they sat down, they looked around the entire auditorium, their faces seemed a little sullen, and many of them were holding tightly to the burning bluebell flame bottle.

It is difficult for these students who are used to warmth and comfort to adapt to the cold climate and less refined decorations of Hogwarts immediately, but they are not completely arrogant. At least many students know that they would like to express their sincere thanks to Hermione. .

The two students, one student and one student who were wearing turbans before, sat directly opposite the three of Hahelu, next to Will.

However, although none of them spoke, everyone on Harry's side knew their identities very well.

"Harry, I'm coming with my sister!"

Sure enough, the cute little girl took off her scarf immediately after she sat down, smiled sweetly and reached out to greet Harry.

"Hmm...", "What a cute girl..."

The lethality of the mixed-race Veela is amazing. Although Gabriel is not yet ten years old, after showing her appearance, all the boys around her immediately showed expressions of admiration. He was stunned in place like a thunderbolt.

And Will, who was sitting next to her at this moment, moved his seat directly with his arm covering his eyes. Obviously, the previous experience was still fresh in his memory, and he absolutely didn't want to make a fool of himself this time.

"See you again, Gabriel." Harry smiled and shook the other's little hand, "I hope you have a good time at Hogwarts."

"Hmph, I don't think there's anything to be happy about here." Fu Rong complained in English with a strong French accent, "Not only is the weather here cold, but the environment is far worse than Beauxbaton's!"

"Hey, no one is forcing you to stay here!" Hermione stared dissatisfiedly, Fleur's arrogant attitude completely annoyed her.

"The flashy vanity will end in tragedy." Luna also said slowly, "There was also a person who personally verified the accuracy of this sentence~"

"What did you say?!"

Hearing that Luna was mocking herself, Fu Rong tore off her scarf angrily, and stood up from her seat.

In an instant, her bright silver hair poured down like a waterfall, her big azure blue eyes fixedly stared at Luna, and there was an obvious sullen look on her face.

However, her move failed to bring any shock to Luna, on the contrary, it made all the boys at the scene gasp.

The youngsters of the nearby Eagle Academy were the first to be recruited, and some of them even showed a silly expression, and the Lion Dean's table next door was not much better. Ron Weasley, who happened to come over, turned pale Flushed, mouth gaping as if stuck in throat.

"Okay, after all, we are guests from afar, so we must give Beauxbaton's students some time to adapt to the new environment." Harry seemed to be impartial in front of the peacemaker, but he looked at Fleur with a more serious look. , "Also, Miss Delacour, you'd better restrain yourself..."

"Oh, it's just a child..."

"If you don't want me to complain to Madam Maxim."

"You... hum!"

Fleur originally dismissed Harry's threat, but the other party's last sentence made her stunned on the spot. In the end, she could only grit her silver teeth and sit back on the chair resentfully.

While there was an episode here, Durmstrang's classmates were still hesitating at the entrance of the auditorium. This was certainly because too many students were chasing Klum for his autograph, but more because …

They are not quite sure where exactly they should sit.

In the end, after a series of struggles, Durmstrang's students, led by Krum, completely ignored Malfoy, who was about to break his arm, and sat directly at Hufflepuff's long table.

And their actions made the students of the Snake Academy turn pale.

As we all know, among the three European schools, only Durmstrang refuses to admit students from ordinary backgrounds, and at the same time teaches black magic openly, so their ideas are actually the closest to Slytherin.

But even so, these Nordic students who came from afar are still unwilling to associate with the Snake Academy, which shows that Slytherin's reputation has already spread outside the school.

For such a scene, the Gryffindor students are undoubtedly the most popular. The twins and the lions are all living treasures. At this moment, they have already started to roar with laughter.

Harry didn't pay much attention to the things over there, he just casually chatted with the people around him.

To him, the Snake Academy is basically transparent. Anyway, he will definitely smash this academy down. As for whether it can be rebuilt in the future, it depends on whether the Slytherins are really aware of current affairs.

Amidst the noise, everyone in the auditorium finally had their seats. Mr. Filch, who was wearing a brand-new uniform, was busy running around. After checking for gaps, he hurriedly added four chairs.

"Why are there four chairs?" Will noticed Filch's actions, and asked in confusion, "Aren't there only Madame Maxime and Professor Karkaroff here?"

"Officials from the Ministry of Magic will also be here," Harry explained softly.

When everything in the auditorium was properly arranged, the teaching staff finally began to file in, and the principals of the three schools were the last ones. When Mrs. Maxim and Professor Karkaroff sat down at the same time, Dumbledore came to his own position, waved to the entire auditorium.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and especially our distinguished guests! It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel Comfortable and pleasant!" Dumbledore looked at the foreign students with a smile, "Our competition will officially start at the end of the banquet, and now... I invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you want, just like at home!"

After he took his seat, everyone in the teaching staff also started to move at the same time. The three principals chatted politely occasionally, but they were not very enthusiastic with each other.

But almost no one at the scene noticed this little episode, because a bunch of rich and varied dishes had appeared on the long tables in the fourth courtyard at the same time, and some of them had special exotic flavors.

"Would you like to try it?" Harry pushed a dish in front of him that looked like a hodgepodge of seafood to the Delacour sisters. "The French fish soup specially made in the kitchen, let's see if it has your French flavor~"

"Thank you! This soup is delicious!" Gabriel immediately thanked happily.

The little girl has a good personality, so not only Harry, but Hermione and Luna also like her very much, and they treat her like a little sister.

"Barely still able to enter."

But on the other hand, her sister... can only explain that she is a beautiful woman, why does she have a long mouth~

However, everyone now ignores her sharpness and just pretends they can't hear her.

And 10 minutes after the banquet started, two more people walked into the auditorium at the same time...

Chapter 620 Uncle Fudge and Nephew, a pair of mentally retarded

"Look, Harry, Ludo Bagman is here."

Hermione, who was eating, reminded Harry, and saw Ludo with a big belly and another young man walking straight through the auditorium.

After greeting Dumbledore, Ludo chose the vacant seat next to Karkaroff, and chatted with each other like old friends reunited.

As for the other young man, like the Durmstrang student just now, he is hesitating in front of the only vacancy left on the teaching bench, and he doesn't seem to want to sit there at all.

"That person...why isn't he seated yet?" Seeing the other party's actions, Gabriel frowned slightly.

"Could it be that he is criticizing Madam Maxim's bloodline? Damn it! This guy is an official of your British Ministry of Magic, right? How dare he know how to break the law?!" Fu Rong even began to scold directly, and her originally pretty face was also out of anger. And appear distorted.

As for the other students of Beauxbatons, they were all filled with righteous indignation at the moment, and even a few of them couldn't help but want to shoot the case.

"Everyone!" Harry knocked on the table hastily, and focused the attention of all the French students on himself, "This is Hogwarts, please leave it to us to deal with emergencies, and please stay safe Cao, everything depends on the smooth holding of the Triwizard Tournament."

"You bastard... are you trying to cover up that bastard?" Fleur asked Harry sharply, "Do you know what his behavior means?!"

"Of course I know!" Harry retorted without backing down, "So I am willing to promise in the name of the teacher that after the Triwizard Tournament is over, I will definitely give an explanation to Beauxbatons and Madam Maxime! And now, I We must stop the situation from deteriorating!"

After speaking, Harry ignored Fleur, but immediately wrapped his voice with magic power, and sent his words to Hagrid's ear through the air, asking him to change his position to Madame Maxime's side immediately.

"Harry?" Hagrid, who was munching, was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately started to pack the dinner plate, and used the butter on the table to tidy up his beard by the way.

"Rufus, I think you should take your seat." On the main seat, Dumbledore had also stood up at this time, glaring at the young man with implied threats, "We have reserved a seat for you."

"Oh... yes, I saw it..." The young man seemed to be taken aback, so he could only look at the empty seat in embarrassment again.

However, just when he decided to force himself to sit there, a tall figure rushed ahead of him.

"Madame Maxim, may I... can I sit next to you?" Hagrid's voice trembled slightly, as if he was forcing himself to look more elegant.

"I'm very happy with this, it's just...what's the situation with that kid?" Madame Maxime's face clearly flashed with anger, "I don't know which official of the British Ministry of Magic he is, but he discriminates against half-blood giants. The behavior of the blood has clearly violated the international..."

"I know...really, I can understand your feelings." Hagrid tried to dissuade him softly, "but I think today is really a happy day, we don't need to care about that guy... don't we?"

"You're right, then please sit down, Hagrid~" Madam Maxim was finally persuaded by Hagrid's stumbling persuasion, she showed an elegant smile again, and invited Hagrid to continue enjoying the dinner with her.

After seeing this scene, the young man showed obvious joy on his face, but then a trace of disdain flashed quietly, and he walked away quickly as if avoiding the plague.

However, he didn't sit in Hagrid's place, and he couldn't help showing disgust on his face. In the end, it was Professor Sprout who gave up his seat, and this 'superior' young man finally It is the long table that is willing to sit on the teaching staff.

However, what he didn't know was that Beauxbaton's students had already seen his series of actions just now, and it also angered each of them!

"Who is that guy?" Will asked in confusion at this moment, "Isn't he stupid regardless of the occasion?"

"Rufus Fudge, 19 years old this year, is the director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation, and is also the nephew of the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge."

Harry reported the other party's background lightly, and the volume happened to be audible to many Beauxbatons' students.

After hearing the words 'Minister of Magic', all the students understood... This guy who dared to openly discriminate against Madam Maxim's bloodlines turned out to be an idiot second-generation ancestor who borrowed his uncle as his superior.

In other words, Cornelius Fudge's little tricks, Harry can almost guess it.
