A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 348 Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon
South of France, Pyrenees.

Beauxbaton School of Magic is hidden among the mountains and ravines, surrounded by majestic magic gardens and unfreezing fountains, standing here for more than 700 years.

'The British Ministry of Magic was at a loss to respond to the riots at the Quidditch World Cup, and it has not come up with a satisfactory answer until now, which makes us wonder whether they can shoulder the heavy responsibility and undertake a very important ancient event. race...

The following is part of the opinion of the British "Daily Prophet" reprinted by this newspaper - the Ministry of Magic (Note: This refers to the United Kingdom, not France) is addicted to the illusion of peace and cannot extricate itself, and has lost enough vigilance. The wizard is at large, and the Ministry of Magic (Note: ibid.) has long since become fragile, like a tottering old man, walking towards the grave step by step. We urgently need fresh blood to join...

……

It is not difficult to see that the British wizards have also lost confidence in their country's Ministry of Magic. Perhaps, in this year's competition, they will see the elegance from France.

It is worth mentioning that the wizard Felix Hep who shined in this crisis is currently at the pride of France - Beauxbaton School of Magic and Magic. Not rebellious, and accepted the invitation to visit the school.He is also one of Beauxbaton's school directors, and it is reported that he will participate in the selection of candidates for the Warriors...'

Felix closed the "French Daily Magic" and muttered: "It's all nonsense, school hasn't started yet." He put the newspaper aside and concentrated on enjoying his breakfast - French croissants, orange juice, fruit platter and small biscuit.

As the newspaper said, on the day the Quidditch World Cup ended, he accepted Madam Maxim's invitation to visit Beauxbaton School. Although the school had not yet started, there were not a single student. Students running for Tournament Warriors apply for retention.

The news in France is relatively open, unlike the British, which keeps the news so tight, so these students have first-hand gossip, whether true or false.

There are rumors that there may be a change in the number of Warriors per school, not one, but four.When these students were discussing at the square dining table, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes. A little girl seriously retorted that, in fact, each school would send three people to form a team to participate in the project.

But no matter what, many people's minds came alive. If there was only one candidate, most of the students would give up, but as long as there was a second possibility, many people felt that their hopes had increased tenfold in an instant.

So every student of Beauxbatons that Felix sees now is a warrior seed of the competition, a true elite.

There is also news that the principal of Ilvermorny suggested that before putting the names of the candidates into the Goblet of Fire, there should be a five-school exhibition match, so that other people would not be in vain. This proposal was approved by Vaga The strong support of the degree-there are too many students in their school, it is said that the number of applicants in the school alone exceeds 1000!

And there are more students in Waggadu than in the three magic schools in Europe combined.

Among these three schools, Hogwarts has the least number of students, because it mainly recruits local qualified students in the UK, and other places do not accept them, but basically they will not take the initiative to send out invitations; while Beauxbaton's students are mostly from France , there are also a small number of young wizards studying from Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. As for Durmstrang in Northern Europe, the range of students also spans more than one country, such as Germany and Bulgaria.

But when it comes to the most famous school in Europe, the first thing that comes to mind internationally is Hogwarts. Taking the place of the Dark Lord, defeating and imprisoning one of them pushed this prestige to a new height.

……

The dining table in the Beauxbaton Auditorium is very characteristic. It is a large square dining table. Each side can accommodate five or six students. The dining table is decorated with exquisite gold and blue patterns. The center of the dining table looks like a vertical decoration of a candlestick. Hanging clusters of flowers.

Not far from the square dining table, opposite Felix, two students of Beauxbatons have been quietly watching him.

They whispered in French, "... so young, they have become school directors..."

"I heard he is the heir of Mr. Nick Flamel."

"Why is his hair black?"

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Nick Flamel's hair was brown when he was young. I've seen his portrait...the last name doesn't match either. Could it be his distant nephew?"

"Or Ms. Perenal's relatives?" they chattered, their voices growing louder.

"Be quiet!" said one of them. They looked around for a while, and saw that Felix was not responding to the conversation between them. He took a deep breath, "Maybe he doesn't understand French."

Then they talked about the topic of the hegemony competition——

"How's your magic going?"

"So-so, the professors found the spell with the highest frequency of appearance in the previous competitions, let us use it for reference, I only mastered one-third of it..."

"That's not bad. Professor Sanchez said that my reaction is always a bit slower than others, and I don't have much hope of being selected." The girl said sadly.

At this time, a girl approached Felix briskly and said in French: "Mr. Haipu, Mrs. Maxime invited you to the afternoon tea party of the professors."

"Thank you." Felix said in standard French, he stood up, and slightly bowed to the two stunned girls next to him, "As for your previous question, the answer is: I have no blood relationship with Nick, I just inherited His alchemy."

……

"Hello, my name is Fleur, Fleur Delacour." The girl who led the way walked in front and turned around to say that she had long silver hair like a waterfall.

"Hello, Mademoiselle Delacour, I've heard your name many times these days."

"I hope it's not a bad reputation. I can't get along with those girls. They complained that I stole their limelight!" Fu Rong shook her long hair, and bright arcs of light danced on the surface of her silver hair.

"They think you're the No. 1 pick for the Warriors."

"Oh, this is the truth." Fu Rong said confidently, "I will definitely become a warrior."

Beauxbatons was like a palace complex. The two walked through the exquisite suites, corridors and side halls. Felix stopped for a moment at the rune horse raised in the garden.

They had beautiful silver manes, and each was as big as an elephant.

"This is a rune horse. It has beautiful lines, especially its mane. I think it is the most beautiful of the four flying horses. They are very powerful and will pull the school's carriage across the straits and mountains." Fu Rong showed off say.

Felix nodded slightly, "Mrs. Maxim introduced it to me. She said that various spells were cast on the carriage, especially the concealment spell and the levitation spell."

Madame Maxime was waiting in a French aristocratic drawing room. When Felix appeared, she stood up to greet him, and a dozen French professors also stood up.

"Here, Mr. Hype—thank you, dear," she said to Fleur, and Fleur walked briskly away.

Mrs. Maxim made an introduction for Felix: "This is Professor Sanchez, who is in charge of spell training for students during the summer. This is Le Maire, who is in charge of potions, and this is Boyer, who is in charge of herbs and medicine. Alchemy is very good... To be honest, I don't know if alchemical items are allowed, but it's better to prepare in advance."

Felix nodded and smiled at them, "I have communicated with Professor Boyer, and his accomplishments in alchemy are amazing."

Boyer, an old professor with white hair and a thin figure, said tremblingly: "These words should be passed on to Professor Haipu intact. All kinds of ancient magical creations are rare, which solved many problems for me."

The professor named Sanchez couldn't wait to ask: "Professor Haip, what do you think of Beauxbaton's students? I heard that Hogwarts didn't prepare for summer training. Could it be that they are sure of victory?"

"There is indeed a little confidence, but—" Felix looked at the others, "This year is different from the past, with new schools joining, I guess the difficulty of the competition will increase a lot."

"That's true," Sanchez nodded, scratching his red beard. As one of the professors in charge of the students' summer training, the subjects he was in charge of were similar to Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he deliberately collected relevant information .

At this moment, he said with confidence: "The difficulty will definitely be adjusted. After all, the performance of other schools must be considered. It's just hard to say whether it will be improved or lowered. For the first time, it is estimated that everyone has little experience. Unlike before, there were only three schools. familiar……"

He tentatively asked: "Ilvermorny and Waggadu are coming in menacingly. Does Hogwarts have any countermeasures?"

The other professors froze for a moment, then stared at Felix intently. Felix shook his head: "I don't know much about other schools. The only thing I can do is to improve the ability of students in this school. I am more optimistic about some people. They Has great potential…”

"That's what I said..." Sanchez was a little unwilling, "But it can't be the first time that the top five tournament is won by an outsider, right?"

The other professors nodded secretly. Although the words were a bit xenophobic, the three schools belonged to Europe after all, and they were vaguely regarded as an alliance. Although there was competition among them, they actually had a good relationship.

But if Ilvermorni or Waggadu won the championship in the end, it would undoubtedly be a very embarrassing thing for wizards throughout Europe.These people will also be scolded so that they can't hold their heads up.

Felix glanced around, and said lightly: "Hogwarts has gone through thousands of years since its establishment, and has experienced countless challenges during this period, but no one can defeat it, so there is the motto - do not disturb the sleeping dragon. I believe it will be the same this time.”
