On the morning of October 10, when they went downstairs for breakfast, they found that the auditorium had been decorated overnight.Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a house of Hogwarts: Gryffindor on a red background with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on a blue background with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on a yellow background. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the green one with a silver boa constrictor is Slytherin.Behind the teacher's desk hung the largest banner, with the Hogwarts crest on it: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake joined together, surrounding a large letter H.

Mino was so amazed by this design that he asked Colin to take a photo as a souvenir.

On this day, there was a joyful mood of anticipation in the air.In the classroom, no one paid attention to the lecture. Everyone was thinking that people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

"I wonder if there are any handsome guys." Parkinson held his chin and squinted his eyes.

"Stop your saliva." Mino said to Parkinson with a disgusted expression while stirring the potion.

"Where can I salivate?"

"Be careful, if Professor Snape sees you, be careful she punishes you not to eat at night."

Potions class was also spent with a lot of fussing, but this was purely because Snape never found fault with Minnow - his attention was always on Harry and Neville.

Harry and Neville, who had their points deducted again, happily walked out of the Potions classroom today and were about to meet the people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Deans of various colleges are ordering students from their own colleges to line up.

Mino stood behind Draco and poked his spine and asked, "You stepped on my foot and didn't apologize, and you said I tripped you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

From the fact that Draco turned around and smiled gloatingly at Mino, it was obvious that his conscience would no longer hurt.So Mino reached out and pulled out a piece of Draco's hair.

Draco cried out in pain and was then criticized by Snape.

Mino looked at Draco innocently: "Hey, look, your hair is too white."

"Oh, you are so naive." Daphne put her hands on her hips pretending to be mature and looked at them with a vicissitude of eyes.

"Please follow me," Snape said. "The first-year students are in front. Don't crowd."

Snape, who spoke with an expressionless face, was very intimidating. The first-year students didn't dare to speak. They followed Snape obediently without making any unnecessary movements.

They filed down the steps and stood in line in front of the castle.It was a cold, fresh evening, night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.

"What star is that?" Mino pointed at the night sky and asked softly.

"It's the star you'll write about incorrectly on your astronomy exam," Scala replied.

Mino stepped on Scala in retaliation.

"How will they come here?" Astoria asked, her bright eyes staring at the night sky with interest, "Flying here?"

"I don't know, but it's impossible to apparate," Mino said. "Maybe it crawled out of the lake and brought us delicious squid..."

There were rustling sounds in the empty field, and the students couldn't help but communicate in low voices.

They all scanned the darkening venue excitedly, but saw no movement.Everything was silent and peaceful, just like normal.

Feeling the cold, Parkinson got close to Mino and put his hand into Mino's neck without hesitation.

Minnow glared at Parkinson.

"Two gold galleons," Parkinson said confidently.

"Do you want me to warm your other hand?" Mino enthusiastically grabbed Parkinson's other hand.

Feeling bored, the Slytherin students began to play a game of Solitaire. Starting from Malcolm at the front, when it came to Mino, Goyle was in front. After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind and turned around and said: " Professor Roland without hair.”

Mino's head was full of questions: "What are you preaching?"

"I don't know," Goyle shook his head, "Draco was talking about Dumbledore with white hair."

"Oh... um..." Mino thought for a moment, then turned to Parkinson, "Professor Snape with greasy hair... is that so?"

"Probably so." Gore smiled wisely.

"Professor Snape's hair?" Daphne suddenly stood up on tiptoes and looked at Snape, "It's really oily..."

"But it's not particularly oily," Mino said with a serious face. "This should be hair that hasn't been washed for two days, because it will be more fluffy one day, and it will be oily one by one after three days."

"Then to imitate Professor Snape, all you have to do is not wash your hair?"

I don't know which sentence hit Parkinson's point of laughter. She suddenly laughed very happily, covering her mouth and silently shrugging her shoulders.

Mino looked at Parkinson strangely and continued: "You have to imitate Professor Snape's speech. You have to speak every word like him. It's very oppressive."

"Try it!" Susan said excitedly.

Mino cleared his throat, raised his head and looked down at Susan.

"Harry Potter, five points have been deducted from Gryffindor because of you."

Daphne shook Mino excitedly: "It's exactly the same!"

Draco turned around at the sound.

"Are you imitating Professor Snape? Say a few more words."

"Minow did a great job, five points for Slytherin," Minow said, imitating Snape.

Draco stared at Mino for a while, then scratched his hair with his hands, then touched his face and said, "Oh, it's only been a day since we last seen each other, and I'm already missing my dear George."

"Exactly the same as Mino!" Daphne continued to praise excitedly.

"I want to play too!" Susan cleared her throat, touched her cheeks with both hands, and showed her starry eyes, "My Merlin, that boy is so handsome, isn't he? I want him to be my boyfriend!"

"Your Pansy Parkinson is not bad either." Mino gave a thumbs up.

"Where am I like this?" Parkinson was very dissatisfied.

"That handsome first-year guy from Ravenclaw?" Susan suddenly pointed in a direction and said.

"Where?" Parkinson almost broke his neck, turning his head as fast as the Golden Snitch could fly.

"I lied to you." Susan showed a mean smile.

Parkinson slapped Susan viciously several times, and Susan was about to fight back when the two of them were about to start pecking each other.

At this moment, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with the other teachers, shouted—

"Ah! If I'm not mistaken, the representative of Beauxbatons has arrived!"

"Where?" many students asked eagerly, looking in different directions.

"There!" a sixth-grader shouted, pointing to the sky above the Forbidden Forest.

A behemoth, much larger than a broomstick—or a hundred broomsticks—was speeding across the dark blue sky toward the castle, growing in size.

"It really flew here!" Astoria was a little surprised.

"What's that?" Scratch put his hands on his eyes and carefully identified the things in the air.

Soon, they saw a huge pink-blue carriage flying towards them.It was as big as a house, and it was pulled through the air by twelve winged horses, all of them silver-maned horses, each as big as an elephant.

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an extremely fast speed. The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly backed away - and then, there was an earth-shattering loud noise - they saw those horse hooves hitting the ground with a thud, and everyone was stunned. It's as big as a vegetable plate.In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on the huge wheels. At the same time, the golden horses shook their huge heads and their big fiery red eyes turned.

Mino's eyes lit up: "Would that horse be delicious when roasted?"

"It's big, has a lot of muscles, and the meat should be good." Parkinson nodded.

The carriage door was opened, and a boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent down, groped for something on the floor of the carriage, and then opened a golden spiral staircase.He jumped back respectfully, and saw a shiny black high-heeled shoe sticking out of the carriage - the shoe was as big as a child's sleigh - followed closely by a woman, a taller boy than before. A woman even bigger than Hagrid.

"Maxim..." Mino whispered, standing on tiptoes to see more clearly.

As Maxim approached, Dumbledore began to clap, and his classmates followed suit.

Mino saw Maxim's face clearly.She has a very handsome olive-colored face, a pair of black, large, watery eyes, and a very pointed nose.Her hair was slicked back and pulled into a shiny bun at the base of her neck.She was wrapped in a black wrought garment from head to toe, and many gorgeous opals shone around her neck and on her thick fingers.

Her face slackened, a graceful smile spread out, and she walked towards Dumbledore with a gleaming hand.Although Dumbledore was also tall, he barely stooped to kiss the hand.

"Dear Madame Maxime," he said, "welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore," Maxim said in a deep voice, "I hope you are well."

"Very well, thank you," said Dumbledore.

"My student," Maxim said, waving nonchalantly behind him with one huge hand.

The students brought by Maxim had already got off the carriage. Everyone obviously looked rich, but they looked cold and everyone was shivering.

"I'd rather wear more clothes," Daphne whispered.

Draco turned to Minnow and said, "They look rich."

"what do you mean--"

"Don't you think so?"

"They are guests from afar."

"So?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"So of course we need to blackmail more... No, we need to communicate more." Mino laughed.
