The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Link, long time no see..."

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month. It's been a really long time."

As soon as Fleur started to speak, Emily interrupted.

As she spoke, she took a step forward and blocked Link behind her.

Coupled with the strong onlookers from Beckman, others and hunters.

This made the expression on Fleur's face become even more embarrassed.

After a while, Furong managed to hold up a smile and said:

"Hello, Emily, congratulations on your engagement to Link. But what I really want to say is, Link, please don't blame Ms. Maxim, she is just... just a little too impatient. We are friends, There’s really no need to do this to me.”

"I think you should say this to Maxim," Link said with a smile, "After all, cooperation and understanding are mutual matters."

"Of course I will."

Fleur nodded after hearing this and chased in the direction Maxim and others left, but just a few steps out, she turned her head to Emily and said, "Oh, by the way, Emily. I must remind you that you and Link are just engaged, not really married. So, don’t be too happy too soon."

As soon as he said this, Link could clearly feel that Emily's hand holding his suddenly became much harder.

Her nails, which were not too long, were even licked, which made Link feel a little pain. The look she looked at Link was even more angry and mixed with a little suspicion.

"Oh! Come on Emily, I only love you and you know this."

"Hmph! It's better to be like this!"

Emily said angrily, and used her backhand to help Link rub the mark accidentally dug by her nails, but no longer paid attention to Link.

And Link didn't care about this - it was just a small game between the two of them, and they officially entered Durmstrang Castle under the leadership of the vice principal.

Compared with Hogwarts Castle, the entrance hall and auditorium of Durmstrang Castle look shabby and small.

And because there is no luxury like a magic ceiling, the auditorium of Durmstrang Castle is extremely dark, and it completely needs the faint light provided by the magic torch.

But that's a good thing.

After all, when the light is dim, it is often difficult for everyone to notice the bare and worn-out walls, as well as the dust and garbage in the corners.

In the entire auditorium, Link felt that the only two things that could be called decorations were probably the green-backed shield-shaped flag composed of a double-headed magic eagle and an elk skull flying above the auditorium, and the hanging flag in the deepest part of the auditorium. Magic portrait of a giant witch.

The witch in the portrait was seen wearing a blood-red robe, with her brown-red hair tied into a complicated hairstyle, with a serious expression and cold eyes looking at everyone in the auditorium.

Facing such a witch, even Link couldn't help but straighten his back, fearing that he would be rude in front of her.

"This is the founder of our Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Nelida Vokanova, a great witch! She uses a completely different teaching method from Hogwarts. For example, she The abolished academy system advocates that all students are Durmstrangians, rather than students of a certain academy. For another example, she resolutely maintains students' right to learn black magic."

The middle-aged vice-principal introduced, "Of course, we can't finish all the glorious history about Durmstrang here all day and night. If you are interested, you can come to my office later. I am very interested." Willing to act as your tour guide in Durmstrang.

As for now, let's head to the principal's office as quickly as possible.Principal Doug and the other professors have been waiting there for a long time. "

Link nodded after hearing this, and finally bowed to the majestic portrait of Nelida Volkanova before continuing upstairs with the vice-principal.

Perhaps in order to maintain the majesty of the principal, although Durmstrang Castle as a whole is not large, the principal's office was deliberately placed in the tower farthest from the exit.

Looking along the way, Link also had a clearer understanding of what Klum had said before about the difficult life of Durmstrang students.

Because in terms of public facilities alone, the dilapidated and simple auditorium just now turned out to be one of the most magnificent and complete rooms in the entire Durmstrang Castle.

The rest of the subject classrooms, even the common room and student dormitories are simply not allowed to be seen!

Especially the canteen!

Durmstrang is an 'aristocratic' school famous in Europe for teaching only pure-blood wizards, but there are no house elves in it! ?

Therefore, the students had to do all the work including everyone's meals and even cleaning the castle.

This directly leads to the fact that the canteens here are as shabby as the Middle Ages, and the food inside is very unpalatable!

The middle vice principal also clearly felt Link's emotional changes.

In order to restore Link's impression of Durmstrang, he did not hesitate to throw out their proud set on the road, which is also often used to fool foreign noble wizards into paying for their study abroad fees - classical music Strengthen the education system!

He claimed that the reason why their school's hardware facilities are so poor is due to insufficient funds, but the main reason is to rely on this terrible living environment to hone the students' willpower and character!

On this basis, as long as their strong teaching staff and strict school rules are added, it can be guaranteed that every Durmstrang graduate can transform from a weakling to a qualified warrior and family heir. !

In order to show the reliability of his statement, the vice-principal even directed several Durmstrang students wearing blood-red robes to demonstrate the learning results of their dueling class - beating each other with magic spells!

The fight was stopped only after everyone was beaten to a bloody head.

In the process, Link was surprised to find that among Durmstrang, even the seemingly weak girls had good fighting power and tenacious fighting will.

It's not uncommon to see a witch riding on top of a wizard and hammering him!

The vice-principal used this method to prove to Link that what he just said was very popular among the wizarding aristocracy in Europe. After all, the patriarchs of those families had probably been dissatisfied with the dandy appearance of their children for a long time. It just so happened that Come and get a Metamorphosis.

But from the perspective of Link's Muggle philosophy, Durmstrang's teaching system is actually Spartan-style military management.

This made Link couldn't help but have a smile appear on his face again.

Because he found that the Durmstrang students taught by this education system were not only much more effective than Hogwarts students, but also had extremely strong discipline.

You must know that he had previously wondered why there was no golem defense system in Durmstrang Castle similar to the magic portraits and sculptural armor in Hogwarts Castle.

Now he understands.

Those things were completely useless to Durmstrang.

The students it teaches are the best defensive force!

This has simply laid the foundation for his arsenal plan!

The only thing that dissatisfied Link was that the Dark Arts class within Durmstrang had become a thing in name only due to the suppression by the International Federation of Wizards.

What it can teach students is, at best, some weak curses.

But this is not a big problem.

After Beckman arrives, just let him use Moody's original excuse of "knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and you will never be in danger" to teach students black magic in the name of Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Link believed that although this cover-up method was crude, it could not be discovered in a short time due to the rigidity of the wizarding government.

And as long as they survive this period of time, I'm afraid they won't have time to continue to deal with such nonsense.

After a cursory tour of Durmstrang Castle, a smiling Link was finally sent into the principal's office, which was so luxurious compared to other rooms - the original owner of this office was Kaka. That guy Love, so it’s not difficult to understand that this place would look like this.

"Mr. Foley!"

"Link!"

The moment Link appeared, Principal Doug and Klum, who were still sitting safely at the conference table, immediately stood up and greeted Link.

Around them, most of the other seven main professors, including the vice-principal, cast inquisitive and curious looks at Link.

Only Ms. Maxim in the corner always maintained an indifferent expression.

Link completely ignored Maxim and greeted everyone with a smile.

At the same time, Krum also left his seat very simply and came to guide Link to sit down. During this period, he leaned close and whispered:

"Link, originally we planned to sign a contract with you directly, but something unexpected happened. Maxim got the news from somewhere, and forcefully intervened. The professor who used her time to bribe turned this matter into a necessity. Agenda for a vote!

sorry!All this is because we didn't keep it a secret!This will cost you a lot of money!Principal Doug asked me to inform you of the news quickly, I..."

Krum wanted to continue talking, but Link reached out to stop him, and then he took Beckman, Snape and others to their seats.

Link had actually been mentally prepared for what Krum said.

He even strongly suspected that the seemingly harmless and confused Professor Doug spread the news that he wanted to donate Durmstrang Gold Galleons.

Who would dislike the gold Gallondo they got?

Even people like Professor Doug who wholeheartedly care about Durmstrang are no exception to this. After all, these Galleons are going to be used for his favorite school.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Link is quite satisfied.

Because he knew very well that Principal Doug should be a wise man, and such a guy should have enough restraint, and all he wanted to do was to cut him within a certain limit.

But if it had been anyone else, this negotiation might have failed due to the other party's excessive greed.

Of course, Link doesn't really want to receive a complete Durmstrang.

After Beauxbatons drains away Durmstrang's teaching staff, Link might as well send his men into Durmstrang to mix in the sand.

But after all, that is an unfair name!

After thinking for a moment, Link slowly turned to look at Principal Doug on the first seat.

It happened that the other party was also looking in his direction, so the two eyes collided.

Through those cloudy eyes, Link could clearly see the guilt and toughness hidden in them.

An undetectable arc finally rose from the corner of Link's mouth. He nodded towards Principal Doug, who then breathed a sigh of relief and announced:

"Good morning, professors, our student representatives Mr. Krum, as well as Ms. Maxim and Mr. Foley.

Everyone must be aware that with the death of the former principal Karkaroff and the withdrawal of funds from the Focalian school directors, our Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is facing an unprecedented financial crisis.

And today we are all gathered together to solve this problem. "

Principal Doug took out a roll of parchment that was as long as the floor, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and chanted, "After searching, there are now two noble people who are willing to help Durmstrang.

Among them, Ms. Maxim is willing to invest 50 gold galleons to repair Durmstrang Castle and improve the salary of professors, the living standards of students and the teaching quality of Durmstrang.

But as a price, Madam Maxime demanded that Durmstrang reach a strategic alliance with Beauxbatons.

The specific requirements of the covenant are that Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has the unconditional right to allocate staff to Durmstrang School, the right to use the Durmstrang school emblem and name for publicity and other work, and the freedom to dismiss and recruit Durmstrang School. The rights of Durmstrang students and the right to freely change the Durmstrang school motto and school location..."

It took a full 20 minutes for Professor Doug to finally finish reading the too-long covenant.

At this time, most people around the conference table looked unhappy.

Link also cast an admiring look at Maxim.

It was different from what Krum said Maxim wanted to buy out Durmstrang’s teaching staff.

If that covenant is truly implemented, then Maxim will not only get Durmstrang’s teachers and students, but also Durmstrang’s school history and all honors in the past nearly a thousand years!

As a result, from now on the three most prestigious universities in Europe will be reduced to two.

As for Durmstrang, there is a high probability that it will be transformed by Maxim into a Beauxbatons branch specializing in elite education, and it will still be named Beauxbatons!

No wonder Principal Doug and other professors reacted so strongly.

Maxim clearly wants to erase all their past glory!

"Next, let me share Mr. Link Foley's thoughts."

Principal Doug put down the parchment, took off his glasses, and said again, "Mr. Foley is willing to donate 10 gold galleons to Durmstrang on behalf of the Foley family. In exchange, he wants to become Durmstrang." Lang’s school director, taking the place of Mr. Focalian.”

As soon as Doug finished speaking, the whole office became noisy.

Almost everyone present was whispering, and even a wizard sitting closer to Maxim stood up suddenly and roared:

"This gold Galleons is too little! Do you think we are all beggars?
