Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"The door of Hogwarts is always open. You and your students can come whenever you want." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"That's right. In the past, magic schools often exchanged students with each other. This is a good tradition. I really hope we can restore it." Madam Maxim continued, "You know, since those two people After its appearance, the overall level of the European magic world can drop drastically, and there are many fields..."

"This Triwizard Tournament is a good start." Dumbledore said pointedly.

"That's right, is Karkaroff here?" Madame Maxime nodded.

"He will come any moment," said Dumbledore. "Would you rather meet him here, or go in first to keep warm?"

"Let's keep warm," said Madame Maxime, "but those horses..."

"Don't worry, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher will be more than happy to take care of them," said Dumbledore, "he'll be back after a little mess, and there's something going on with his, well, other things he's got to look after. "

Apparently, it was the snails that were getting bigger and bigger.

They were now trying to get out of the box, and Hagrid had to catch all the escaping snails.

"My steeds need a lot of strength to take care of them." Madam Maxime said uneasy, as if doubting whether Hogwarts' teacher of protecting magical creatures would be up to the job, "You know, they are very temperamental. strong……"

"I assure you, Hagrid is perfectly capable of the job," said Dumbledore with a smile.

"Very good!" Madam Maxime said, bowing slightly, "Also, can you tell this Hagrid that these horses only drink single malt whiskey?"

"I'll take care of it," said Dumbledore, also bowing.

"Come," Madame Maxime said solemnly to her students.

The Hogwarts students fell back, and the crowd cleared a passage for her and her students to walk up the stone steps.

After everyone from Beauxbatons had gone in, the topic shifted to Durmstrang.

"How big do you think Durmstrang's horses will be?" said Seamus Finnigan, leaning forward.

"Don't know, but if they were bigger than these horses, I'm afraid even Hagrid wouldn't be able to handle them," said Harry. "I mean, if he hadn't been bitten by one of his snails. Didn't know they were What's the mess?"

"Probably ran away," said Ron hopefully.

"Don't say that," Hermione said immediately, "think about it, those guys are crawling all over the field..."

"Don't worry, Hagrid will take care of it, and Durmstrang doesn't necessarily have a rune horse." Ivan said.

In a low voice, he explained to the people around him the origin of the rune horses, their rarity, and the cost of raising them.

The little wizards were amazed again, they had always thought that these horses were the legendary Pegasus.

Everyone stood there, waiting for the Durmstrang delegation to arrive.

More than 20 minutes passed, and everyone was already shivering slightly from the cold.

Most people looked up at the sky helplessly, and there was silence all around for a while, because the time was too long and the temperature was too cold, everyone was not even interested in talking, only Madame Maxime's giant horse snorted and stamped its hooves. the sound of.

Suddenly Colin asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Immediately afterwards, Ivan also heard a very loud and strange sound floating towards them from the darkness: it was a suppressed rumbling and sucking sound, like a huge vacuum cleaner moving along the river bed...

"In the lake!" Lee Jordan yelled, pointing to the lake, "Look at that lake!"

Standing on the slope of the lawn overlooking the grounds, they had a clear view of the calm, dark water.

The surface of the water suddenly became no longer calm, and there was a turmoil in the middle of the lake. Huge splashes appeared on the surface of the water, and the waves crashed against the wet lake shore. It was as if a huge plug had suddenly been pulled from the bottom of the lake...

A long black pole rose slowly from the whirlpool, followed by the sail rigging...

Chapter 546 The Sick Klum

"what is that?"

"It's a mast, and that's a big ship!"

In front of everyone, slowly and magnificently, the big ship rose out of the water, shining brightly in the moonlight.

It had an eerie, skeleton-like appearance, as if it were the wreck of a shipwreck that had just been salvaged.

The portholes glowed with a dim, misty green gleam that looked like ghostly eyes.

Finally, with the sound of splashing water, the big boat came out completely.

Bouncing on the choppy water, it started heading towards the shore.

A moment later, there was only a splash, and an anchor was thrown into the shallow water.

Then, with another snap, a plank rested on the shore.

The people on board were coming ashore and could be seen silhouetted as they passed the lights of the portholes.

It's amazing, I didn't expect Durmstrang to have such a treasure.

Ivan could feel the powerful magical power on the ship, as well as the fantastic manufacturing process.

A powerful magic has been applied to the ship, so that as long as there is water, it can be reached.

Ivan also found many traces of black magic in it, which really fit Durmstrang's style.

"Look at those people, they are really tall!"

Hearing Dennis' exclamation, Aiwen's eyes shifted from the exaggerated head portrait to the figure who was going ashore.

They were students of Durmstrang, and they were about the same build as Crabbe and Goyle.

As they drew nearer, along the lawn and into the light cast by the hall, they realized that their bulk was due to the fact that they all wore a kind of fur cloak with matted fur.

But the man who led them to the castle wore a different kind of fur: silvery and smooth, much like his hair.

"Dumbledore!" the man shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope. "How are you, my dear old man?"

"Very well, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

Karkaroff's voice was mellow and sweet, making it sound like this guy was very cunning.

When he stepped into the light from the castle's front door, they saw that he was tall and thin like Dumbledore, but his white hair was short and his goatee, which ended in little curls, didn't quite cover him. That skinny chin.

He walked up to Dumbledore and shook Dumbledore's hand with both hands.

"Dear old fellow, dear Hogwarts!" He looked up at the castle and said with a smile, "I haven't been back here for many years, it's so good to be here, so good!"

He has an exaggerated smile, and you can see that his teeth are very yellow.

Although his face was full of smiles, there was no smile in Karkaroff's eyes, which were still indifferent and sharp.

"Okay, Viktor, come here and warm up, don't you mind, Dumbledore? Ever since he was attacked by that scumbag in Diagon Alley, Viktor has been in a bad state recently, I've been taking medicine..."

Karkaroff waved his hand, beckoning one of his students to step forward.

When the boy walked by, Aiwen saw the striking aquiline nose and two thick, black eyebrows.

He didn't need to be reminded, he already recognized that figure, it was Krum!

He still looks as gloomy as before, a little sick, and he is indeed in a bad state.

He ignored the commotion and shouts in the crowd, and followed Karkaroff into the castle.

"My God, it's Krum, I can't believe it!" said Ron in a tone of great shock.

At this time, 5 minutes had passed since Durmstrang's arrival, and the Hogwarts students were following Durmstrang's delegation, excluding climbing the stone steps.

"It's Krum, Viktor Krum, he's come to Hogwarts!" Ron continued to sigh.

"For heaven's sake, Ron, he's just a Quidditch player," said Hermione displeased.

"Just a Quidditch player?!" Ron stared at her blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Hermione, he's one of the best Seekers in the world, and the last time he Saved us at the World Cup."

"I know everyone appreciates him, but that's not why you keep talking about him and repeating it over and over for five minutes."

After seeing Krum, there were only a few people like Hermione who remained calm.

As the Durmstrang students joined the rest of Hogwarts again through the foyer towards the Great Hall, there was a lot of pushing and Lee Jordan was jumping up and down on tiptoe, I want to see Krum's back more clearly.

A few sixth-grade girls were frantically looking for something in their pockets as they walked.

"Oh, I can't believe I don't have a quill with me!"

"You mean he'll sign my hat with lipstick?"

"That's ridiculous!" said Hermione haughtily.

She frowned and looked at everyone, and walked past the girls who were arguing over a lipstick.

"I'd like to get his autographed picture if possible," said Ron. "Have any of you brought quills?"

"No, it's all upstairs in my bag," said Harry.

"I have it here!" Ivan took out the paper and pen from the bag and handed it to Ron.

"Thank you, I'll come as soon as I go, you go in and wait for me!" Ron said excitedly.

Like the girls, he rushed towards the Durmstrang crowd.

"He's crazy, we've seen that guy last time."

It was amazing how much Ron adored Krum.

Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Colin, and Ginny walked into the auditorium and sat down at the Gryffindor table.

There was still chaos at the gate, for Krum and his Durmstrang schoolmates were still gathered there.

They seemed unsure of where to sit, and what to do with the messy little wizards in front of them waiting for Krum's signature.

Beauxbaton's classmates who came in earlier had already chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table. After they sat down, they looked around the auditorium with sullen expressions on their faces. Cover your head.

Among them was Fleur, who didn't seem particularly happy with the Hogwarts architecture.

Compared with Beauxbaton's luxurious and exquisite buildings, Hogwarts is really too rough.

Fu Rong looked around, glanced at Ai Wen, and turned her head proudly.

Gabriel, on the other hand, said a few words to her, and ran over in a hurry, completely ignoring the surprised gazes of other people around her.

"Hello, Ivan!" Gabriel said with a smile, and naturally sat down on the empty seat beside Ivan.

"Hello, Gabriel!" Ivan said, introducing several other people to each other.

Chapter 547 Krum and Fleur

Gabriel quickly greeted everyone, and said to Ivan with a flushed face, "Can I come and sit?"

She looked very nervous, looking at Ivan expectantly.

One person left Beauxbatons and the others ran here. Even Gabriel herself did not expect that she would be so bold.

In fact, Ivan didn't need to answer this question at all.

Everyone in Gryffindor expressed their welcome to Gabriel with practical actions. With unimaginable enthusiasm, everyone stood up to say hello to Gabriel, shook hands, and introduced themselves, etc.

Among the four houses of Hogwarts, Gryffindor is the most dynamic one.

Gabriel didn't seem to expect that she would be so popular. While she was relieved, she hurriedly returned the gift with a smile.

Her personality is much better than her sister Furong, and she soon won the favor of everyone.

After a short contact, everyone fell in love with this lovely girl like an angel.

Even Hermione pulled Gabriel to her side, and the two of them were laughing so hard that they didn't know what they were talking about.

Ai Wen looked at the two of them anxiously, and found that he couldn't get in the way at all.

Five minutes later, the auditorium was still in a mess, and all the teachers were gone.

At the door, the Durmstrang students hadn't chosen where to sit.

As for Krum's admirers, they all gathered there, shouting Krum's name loudly.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall appeared that they had to disperse and return to their seats.

"Look, Krum signed it for me!" Ron blushed, "I want to treasure it."

He just ran back, holding a piece of parchment to show off in front of everyone, and he was so excited.

"Krum still remembers me, he only signed me!" he said triumphantly, "I dare say..."

Before Ron could finish speaking, he suddenly stood up and waved to Durmstrang's group.

"Here, come and sit here!" He said in a hoarse voice, "Here, Ivan, Hermione, you move over a little to make room..."

But Malfoy stood up one step earlier, and he walked over to whisper a few words with Krum.
