The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Although the two magic schools Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have lost their glory, their past monuments still left a glorious impression in everyone's hearts.

So after learning that their delegation was about to arrive at Hogwarts, the hearts of all the students at Hogwarts became hot.

This somewhat diluted the anguish in the hearts of Hogwarts students to a great extent.

Because the professors of various subjects were like out-of-control war horses running wildly on this road called 'cruelty'.

Especially the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

He didn't seem to have any idea of ​​teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, so the first lesson he gave to all students was to demonstrate the three unforgivable curses.

This crushed all the students' beautiful illusions about him to pieces, and what he did to Link was slowly spread to other people's ears through the mouths of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Now the whole The students at Hogwarts were protesting against him to their deans and even their parents.

But they soon fell silent.

Because from the beginning of the second class, Moody has been asking each student to come on stage one by one to experience the feeling of being controlled by the Imperius Curse, and he calls it a training in the students' resistance to the Imperius Curse.

Due to Moody's bad taste, the men and women on stage, no matter how big or small, beautiful or ugly, would jump up and down and scream like monkeys after being controlled.

This has left a deep psychological shadow on all students.

That's a shame!

They tried to resist, but by then it was too late.

After all, Link, who is most likely to drive Moody away in the entire school, has been bribed by Dumbledore with a large bottle of Phoenix Tears and the privilege that Link and Emily do not need to participate in the practical training of Defense Against the Dark Arts class. .

Under this situation, the students who were deeply tortured could only hope that Moody would restrain himself after the delegations of Beauxbatons and Demostrang arrived.

You must know that if what Moody did was witnessed by international friends, the seriousness of the matter would skyrocket.

So, in the anticipation of countless students, October 10th finally came.

The student teams from the four major colleges walked out of the lounge under the leadership of their respective deans and finally gathered on the steps outside the castle gate.

"George! Fred! If you two continue to fight, I swear I will ask Mr. Filch to remove all the chains and whips from his office and use them on you!"

"Neville! Wipe your face clean!"

"Miss Patil! You'd better take that ridiculous flower off your head right now!"

……

Professor McGonagall walked through the Gryffindor team with a livid face, and from time to time she would let out one or two scoldings that were as cold as bones.

It could be seen just from her tightly pursed lips that she was really angry at this time.

This is not surprising at all, because the Gryffindor team is so chaotic that it is almost impossible to look straight at it.

In comparison, the Slytherin and Ravenclaw teams are much better.

Among them, the Slytherins have deeply ingrained nobility and etiquette into their own bones, while the Ravenclaws are naturally quiet.

This allowed Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick to line up in a square formation even if they didn't care about anything.

As for Hufflepuff, forget about it.

Professor Sprout himself is an informal, or rather slovenly, witch.

The life of being in a greenhouse tending herbs all year round makes her not care about her own appearance. She herself has a mess of hair at this time, so she naturally doesn't care about how messy her students' team is, or what the students are wearing. How many alternative decorations are there.

In her opinion, the nobility of the soul is far more important than the purity of the body.

Professor McGonagall really wanted to help Professor Sprout manage her dirty students, but it was a pity that she had no right to interfere in the management of Hufflepuff House.

Just like she has no right now to care about Link and Emily, two guys who left the team without permission and hid in the side of the Slytherin team to kiss me.

"Professor McGonagall seems very angry. This is the fourth time she has rolled her eyes in our direction."

Holding Link's arm, Emily said proudly.

Link helped Emily tighten the cloak tightly, smiled softly and said:

"Don't worry about her, she has obsessive-compulsive disorder and takes rules more seriously than anything else."

The weather at the end of October was still very cold, especially in the evening. Large tracts of cold fog had already enveloped the entire Hogwarts. They were like a layer of gauze, and even the full moon at the top of the sky looked brighter under their coverage. Extremely hazy.

The surrounding air was cold and moist. Emily, who was leaning on Link, took a deep breath, but felt warm in her heart.

She stretched out her hand to cover Link's hand that had just tightened her cloak and was about to withdraw it, and said softly with some longing:

"Link, how do you think Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's delegation will arrive? Portkey?"

"It can't be a portkey. When we meet for the first time, they will definitely choose a unique way to surprise us to show their strength." Link grabbed Emily's hand with his backhand and protected it against himself Palm said, " Beauxbatons will probably use a talisman horse and carriage. I heard Ms. Maxim say that it should be the most magical means of transportation they can find. As for Durmstrang, I don't know much about it. "

As soon as Link finished speaking, he felt Emily's body tremble. Just when he was about to ask what was wrong, Emily raised her head, pointed at the moon and said:

"They're here! You guessed it, they seem to be using magical rune horses!"

Link also raised his head and saw that in the center of the halo of hazy moonlight, a small black spot was gradually enlarging.

Many students around also noticed this strange phenomenon and were shouting excitedly.

Under everyone's gaze, the black spot finally fell from the moon.

Only then did everyone realize that this was an extremely huge carriage!

It was pink-blue all over and was as big as an entire house. It was dragged through the Forbidden Forest by twelve pegasus, which were as big as adult elephants. The hurricane that was carrying it blew up flakes on the surface of the Black Lake. The ripples of the film finally landed in front of everyone at Hogwarts.

For a moment, the all-steel horseshoes set off clusters of sparks on the stone platform, and the huge carriage landed with a deafening explosion, causing chaos among the Hogwarts students.

Professor McGonagall did her part and rushed into the team angrily to teach the troublesome students.

At the same time, the door of the carriage with the Beauxbatons emblem engraved on it (two golden wands crossed, with three gold stars shining on the tip of each wand) was opened.

A handsome boy wearing a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, quickly pulled out a long golden spiral staircase from the bottom of the carriage, and then waited respectfully aside.

After a while, Ms. Maxim, who was tall but elegantly dressed in fine clothes, took the lead to get out of the carriage, followed by a dozen boys and girls wearing light blue exquisite silk robes who followed without saying a word. Behind her, she secretly raised her head and stared at Hogwarts Castle with some awe.

The students at Hogwarts were looking at them with the same eyes, but the main object of observation by the Hogwarts students was Ms. Maxim.

This was the first time they had seen such a tall woman, but Ms. Maxim was so elegant that they became extremely interested in her.

But their eyes quickly moved away from Ms. Maxim.

Because they found an extremely beautiful silver-haired girl in Beauxbatons' team. Her pair of shining silver blue eyes seemed to possess a magical power. Every young boy present was stunned the first time they saw her. I felt like my heart had been hit hard, my expression was dull, I was moaning meaninglessly, and then I couldn't take my eyes away anymore.

The silver-haired girl seemed to be looking for something.

Her eyes kept moving in the Hogwarts queue. After finally seeing Link and Emily in the corner of the queue, a smile as bright as a sunflower bloomed from the corner of her mouth.

She stretched out her hand and waved it happily towards Link. She was still saying something, but unfortunately the distance was too far and no one at Hogwarts could hear her clearly.

"Oh my god! She's saying hi to me!"

A freckle-faced Slytherin boy not far from Link said excitedly.

This statement quickly aroused dissatisfaction among the boys around him.

They argued and pushed each other, and finally separated under Snape's eyes as cold as ice.

Link's situation at this time was not much better.

Thanks to Fleur just greeting him, Emily was now glaring at him with an angry look on her face.

"You still have contact with her?!"

Emily said excitedly. Link reacted quickly when he heard this, raised his finger and said:

"I swear! Absolutely not!"

Emily didn't speak, but stared into Link's eyes, trying to detect signs of Link's lies.

After a while, she snorted coldly, and then hugged Link's arm tighter, as if to declare her sovereignty to Fleur.

It's a pity that Madam Maxime has already finished negotiating with Dumbledore at this time.

In order not to let these Beauxbatons students, who were only wearing thin silk robes, get cold, Dumbledore had already let Fleur and the others enter the auditorium in advance.

This made Emily even more angry, pouting and grabbing Link's arm and shaking it.

Link was not angry when he saw this, but smiled to comfort Emily.

Because Emily is cute even when she's angry.

And Link didn't think Emily was really angry.

To Link, Emily's current appearance seemed more like she had found an excuse to act coquettishly to him.

Link didn't hate this.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Look, Durmstrang's delegation is here."

After comforting him for a while, Link pointed at the black lake and said.

As Link expected, Emily immediately lost her anger after hearing this, and raised her neck to look at the lake curiously.

At this time, there was a strange and deep sound in the air, a bit like a submersible rising rapidly, or like a water monster roaring in the deep sea.

At the same time, the lake was boiling.

As the waves rolled, a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the black lake, and then a mast poked out from the center of the whirlpool, then the sails, the side of the ship...

In the astonished eyes of everyone, an extremely majestic ship rose out of the water.

Its shape is weird and dilapidated, like a sunken shipwreck that has just been salvaged. There are even some seaweed and fish and shrimps that were unable to escape hanging on the surface of the hull.

Shrouded in mist, this 'ghost ship' with a faint green glow all over its body slowly sailed towards the crowd.

thump!

A large rusty anchor was thrown into the black lake.

Immediately afterwards, people could be seen in the shimmering portholes. In a short time, many people got out of the cabin and came ashore through the gates.

Link could clearly see that all of the people who came ashore were extremely burly men.

They were all wearing fur coats. The hair on them was tangled and messy, and they looked dirty. Coupled with their serious expressions, a feeling of savagery and ferocity hit their faces.

Link even thought that as long as they were given weapons and armor, they could cosplay as Vikings.

Unlike other Durmstrang students, the old man walking at the front wore a white cloak with extremely soft fur.

The old man laughed and shouted to Dumbledore from a distance:

"Hahaha! Dumbledore! My old man, how are you?"

"Great, thank you, Karkaroff."

Dumbledore smiled in response.

The two gradually came closer and embraced each other passionately.

Relying on the light emitted from the Hogwarts auditorium, Link finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.

This is a tall, thin old man with a white beard, but unlike Dumbledore, this guy's white hair has been cut extremely short, and his beard has also been trimmed into a tuft of goatee, with the ends still swirling.

Link's eyebrows furrowed.

He doesn't like this old man named Karkaroff.

If Durmstrang's students were strong snow wolves, this Karkaroff felt like a cunning and timid old white-furred fox to Link.

The combination of the two gave Link a strong sense of dissonance.

"Igor Karkaroff, Headmaster of Durmstrang."

Emily said with disgust, "I don't like this guy, he is a shameless opportunist! When Voldemort was rampant in the country, this guy was the core figure among the Death Eaters, and he used Voldemort's popularity to make money. King Galleon. After the fall of Voldemort, he was captured by Mad-Eye Moody. But in the end he escaped punishment by betraying other Death Eaters, and finally became the headmaster of Durmstrang!"

"The betrayer Karkaroff, ha, do you believe that this guy was deliberately inserted into Durmstrang by the Ministry of Magic? In order to make all Durmstrang's students become like Karkaroff. "

Link said disdainfully.

"Of course I believe you."

Emily said softly, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Link did not lower his voice when talking to Emily, but at this time the crowd had no time to listen to what Link and Emily said.

All their attention was now on the particularly tall figure behind Karkaroff.
