Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 164 Welcome Banquet
"What nonsense did you promise Astoria!! A horse who only drinks single malt whiskey! You burned too much money?"

"...Isn't this what she likes!"

"If you like it, keep it? What's the use of raising that thing? I can warn you, absolutely don't mention this again! Otherwise, I won't spare you!"

Daphne gave Lu Yunkai a hard look.

She reached out and pinched him lightly.

Lu Yunkai rubbed his arms awkwardly, then glanced at Astoria who was following him.

The little girl with a face full of grievances lowered her head, her pouting mouth was probably as tall as Hogwarts Castle.

"Okay, don't think about those unreliable ones." Daphne glanced at her sister, "Yun Kai seems to be able to make some money now, but he can't stand the expense. Don't bother him."

"Oh." Although Astoria agreed, she was obviously still very unhappy.

"Your dress is nice, it fits you well." Seeing Astoria's appearance, Daphne felt a little helpless, so she could only continue to smooth her hair.

"You didn't pick this!" Astoria gave Daphne a blank look.

"..."

"Oh! Alright! I got it! Don't want it! Let's go!!" Astoria waved his hand, "When I earn my own money in the future, I will raise it myself!"

"It's not just about money, it's really useless..."

"I spend my own money how I like!"

"you……"

Daphne is furious.

Just at this time.

"Quiet!!"

Dumbledore's voice sounded.

The auditorium was instantly quiet.

Sitting in the auditorium, the students who were discussing excitedly fell silent, and all of them looked at Dumbledore in unison.

In the auditorium where there were only four long tables all year round, six long tables were set up for the first time today, and the two empty ones were naturally for welcoming and waiting for guests.

In the afternoon, the two schools that had come to participate in the Triwizard Tournament had arrived at Hogwarts.

Although not many people saw Beauxbaton's carriage parked near the Forbidden Forest when it arrived, when the large ship full of Durmstrang students emerged from the bottom of Hogwarts Lake, there were many witnesses. of those.

The beginning of the school year has been hotly discussed by everyone, and the matter of the Triwizard Tournament, which has somewhat cooled down because of the passage of two months, has been ignited again.

Now every Hogwarts student has an excited smile on his face, looking forward to it.

"Some of you, have met our guests this afternoon, and even had some cordial conversations."

Dumbledore looked at his students after watching the silence.

Then he glanced at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, he knew that Dumbledore was talking about himself.

At that time, he was dazed with joy because of Astoria's change of view on the issue of blood, and he dragged her directly to Hagrid.

He bumped into Dumbledore who was going to meet Mrs. Maxime.

Afterwards, he asked Hagrid what he needed to pay attention to in raising the talisman horse. Hagrid didn't know much about it, so he asked Mrs. Maxime, and then she gave him a pissed off...

Well, he admitted that he hadn't seen the world at the time, and he was a bit lost at Hogwarts.

Otherwise, with his stingy temperament, he should find an excuse to dispel Astoria's idea of ​​raising a god rune horse (and Lu Yunkai guessed that if it wasn't because Mrs. Maxim made him angry, maybe Astoria Tolia wouldn't have insisted on keeping a horse of that sort, which was unlikely to be used as a mount either).

"But I still want to introduce our guests to you very grandly. I hope that in the rest of this year, you can coexist peacefully with them and become friends." Dumbledore turned his eyes away and continued: "First of all, Please invite our friends from the south, the students of Beauxbaton School of Magic and Magic, and their principal Madam Maxime."

As he said that, Dumbledore motioned to Filch, who was wearing a weird tuxedo, who didn't quite match him no matter how he looked.

Filch hurried out of the auditorium, and after a while, a group of people entered the auditorium.

The whole place was quiet.

Only sparse applause sounded.

It's not because the Hogwarts students don't know how to be polite, but this group of guests is really eye-catching.

It was all apprentice witches wearing slim and tailored magic robes made of exquisite silk!

Almost all the male students at Hogwarts, including Lu Yunkai, were stunned.

This group of good-looking French girls all had smiles on their faces. As they walked into the auditorium, they saluted and said hello to the Hogwarts students around them. They didn't seem to mind the lack of welcome applause when they entered the arena. .

Or maybe they enjoy this kind of state that others look stupid to them?
Led by Filch, Beauxbaton's students came to the long table prepared for them in the auditorium, but although they took their seats one after another, none of them sat down, they just stood quietly and smiled. with.

Then their principal walked into the auditorium.

"Wow! Such a big woman!"

Almost everyone uttered the same exclamation that Lu Yunkai and Astoria had after seeing Mrs. Maxim.

Lu Yunkai, who had already met the principal once, noticed that all Beauxbaton's students were applauding neatly.

It seems that the management of this school is very strict!
Amidst the exclamation and applause of the Hogwarts students, Madam Maxime came to Dumbledore, who was half her height, they hugged each other, and after whispering a few words, she came to Chairman She took her seat behind the stage.

She had already greeted Dumbledore in the afternoon, and there was really nothing to say in the hall.

then.

"Next, our friends from the north. The students of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic, and their principal, Igor Karkaroff!" Dumbledore introduced again.

This time, the atmosphere was completely different from just now.

When the door of the auditorium opened again, all men walked in.

Each of them wore thick leather robes, giving the impression that they came from a very cold place.

It's just that according to what Chris told Lu Yunkai about this school that is particularly tolerant of black magic, no one knows where this school is until now.

Compared with the shock when they saw the group of beautiful French girls just now, when they saw this group of strong northern men, the Hogwarts students reacted much more normally, applauding one after another to express their welcome.

But this normality soon disappeared.

Then there was a continuous burst of exclamations.

Because after a large number of Durmstrang students, the last student who walked into the auditorium was not only Lu Yunkai, but also many Hogwarts students.

"Krum!! Viktor Krum!! Oh my God! Is he a student of Durmstrang??" Malfoy, who was sitting opposite Lu Yunkai, let out an exclamation.

"It seems to be." Lu Yunkai nodded.

But... do you have to be so excited? ,

Didn't you argue with the rest of the team just two months ago when school started that he wasn't worthy of being the best Quidditch player of our time?

After Krum's exclamation, a tall and thin man with short white hair and a goatee on his chin also entered the auditorium.

There was an exaggerated smile on his face.

Needless to say, Lu Yunkai also knew that this person must be Igor Karkarov.

Regarding this person, Lu Yunkai also heard a lot of introductions from Chris in the afternoon.

To put it simply, four words can sum up Lu Yunkai's impression of this person.

Former Death Eaters.

Just for this, it is impossible for Lu Yunkai to like this guy.

However, this man didn't seem to realize (or didn't think about it) that the exclamation in the auditorium was not caused by him entering the arena at all. He walked up to Dumbledore with a smile and hugged Dumbledore.

Also said a few words.

However, compared to the much more natural and simple communication between Mrs. Maxim and Dumbledore just now, Karkaroff's words are obviously very hypocritical (of course, the voice is also very loud) .

"Dear old man, dear Hogwarts!" Karkaroff said with a smile, "I haven't been back here for many years, it's great to be here, it's great!"

"The door of Hogwarts is open to friends at any time, if you like." Dumbledore also replied with a smile.

Of course, the voice is not small...

That look of "I'll accompany you when you're acting" made Lu Yunkai, who was frowning slightly because of Karkaroff, raise the corners of his mouth.

In fact, apart from the fact that Dumbledore didn't know why he always looked down on him, the old man's temper sometimes really suits his appetite.

After Karkaroff took his seat, Dumbledore just said a few words, and then, the welcome dinner, which was also the Halloween dinner, officially began.

This dinner can be said to be quite rich.

Lu Yunkai saw some food on the table that he had never seen in the four years since he came to Hogwarts.

Like some kind of fish soup that smells weirdly fishy and heavy and creamy...

"This soup is so bad, how did you drink it?... Blaise? Hello?? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

While gnawing on the grilled pork chop in his hand, Lu Yunkai asked Blaise, who was sitting opposite him, raised his eyes and looked ahead, like a puppet, poured the unpalatable fish soup into his mouth.

Then he found that Blaise didn't respond as if someone had cast the Imperius Curse.

Only later did he discover that Blaise wasn't the only one.

Goyle and Crabbe sitting next to him also...

"what happened……"

Lu Yunkai turned his head and looked behind him.

Then, also silly.

Behind him, was the Hogwarts dining table for the guests, students of Beauxbatons.

And Lu Yunkai saw a girl sitting opposite them at a glance.

She has waist-length silver hair, and a pair of bright blue eyes that are as bright as the clearest sky, and the silver light is also shining.

The smile on her face made Lu Yunkai seem to forget the time all of a sudden.

Oh, there is more than one girl like this. Beside the girl who looks a little older, there is a little girl who seems to be less than 11 years old...

My goodness! !
How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world! !
Although Lu Yunkai couldn't tell where they were so beautiful, but...

It is beautiful!Beauty without reason! !
Why didn't I notice when they entered the arena just now?

oh!right!When Beauxbaton's students entered the arena, several people were covered with veils. Lu Yunkai originally thought it was because of some injuries on their faces, or because they looked too fierce.

Well, if beauty is a murder weapon, then these two girls are definitely the most vicious people in the world...

"Lu Yunkai! What are you doing!!"

The stabbing pain from his arm finally awakened Lu Yunkai from his trance.

"……nothing."

Lu Yunkai looked back.

He noticed Daphne whose face was flushed with anger.

Then there was a shock.

What happened to me just now?Why is it like being possessed by an evil spirit?

Are those two girls so beautiful?Even if you think about it carefully!
But why...

There must be ghosts! ?
