New Professor at Hogwarts

The students were a little impatient because after they were excited, they felt cold.

At this moment, Dumbledore, who was standing with Xia Ran and other professors, shouted: "Ah! If I am not mistaken, the Beauxbatons representative has already arrived!"

"Where?"

"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Many students immediately asked eagerly, looking up and down.

"Where!" shouted a sixth grader, pointing his finger over the Forbidden Forest.

A huge thing, much bigger than a broomstick - or a hundred broomsticks - was flying rapidly across the dark blue sky towards the castle, getting bigger and bigger.

"Dragon! It's a fire dragon!" a first-year student screamed, so excited that he didn't know what to do.

"Oh, don't be silly! That's a house flying!" said another older student.

Although both statements are outrageous, the latter statement is closer.

When the black behemoth passed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest and was illuminated by the light from the castle window, everyone saw a huge pink-blue carriage flying towards everyone.

It is so huge, no smaller than a house. It is pulled into the sky by twelve flying horses with wings. They are all silver-maned horses. Each horse is about the same size as an elephant. It is really suspicious. How did they fly? Can the wings really carry it?

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an extremely fast speed. The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly backed away.

Then, there was a shocking bang, which made many students tremble.

I saw those horse hooves falling to the ground with a bang, each one 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, The big fiery red eyes rolled around.

"Xia Ran, you are right, it is indeed a carriage." Ms. Huo Qi said.

Xia Ran smiled softly.

The door of the huge carriage suddenly opened, and a boy wearing a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent down, groping for something on the floor of the carriage, then opened a golden spiral staircase, and jumped back respectfully.

A shiny black high-heeled shoe was stretched out from the carriage. The shoe was as big as a child's sleigh. A woman appeared in everyone's sight. Her size was beyond everyone's expectations. , so many people gasped in shock.

Among the teachers and students of Hogwarts, Hagrid was the only one who could compare with her.

"By the way, where is Hagrid?" Xia Ran glanced and found that Hagrid, for some reason, was not present to greet the representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang this time.

The woman had now reached the bottom of the steps, turned around, and looked at the crowd of people who were waiting with their eyes wide open. She seemed to be even bigger than before.

When she walked into the light leaking from the foyer, everyone discovered that she had an unusually handsome olive face, a pair of big, dark, watery eyes, a pointed nose, and her hair. Tie it back and into a shiny bun at the base of your neck.

She was wrapped in a black satin dress from head to toe, with many gorgeous gems shining around her neck and on her thick fingers.

If it weren't for her ridiculous height, she would be a very beautiful and attractive woman.

Dumbledore was the first to start clapping, and his classmates also clapped. Xia Ran and other teachers also clapped to welcome Beauxbatons to Hogwarts.

However, many people stood on tiptoes, wanting to see this woman more clearly.

Her tense face relaxed, she smiled gracefully, stretched out a gleaming hand, and walked towards Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore was a tall man in every sense of the word, he barely bent down when he kissed this hand.

"Dear Madam Maxime," he said with a smile, "I am pleased to welcome you and your students to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore." Ms. Maxim's voice was deeper, "I hope everything is well with you."

"Very well, thank you." Dumbledore smiled.

"By the way, my student." Ms. Maxim said, raising a huge hand and waving behind her casually.

Xia Ran noticed that about twelve or three male and female students had gotten off the carriage. They were obviously the outstanding students selected by Beauxbatons to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

But the champion of Beauxbatons should be Fleur Delacour.

Xia Ran glanced twice but didn't see Fleur, because many Beauxbatons students were wearing scarves or turbans covering their heads, making it difficult to see who was who.

They were basically standing in the huge shadow cast by Madam Maxime, looking up at Hogwarts Castle with some look of awe on their faces.

"Is Karkaroff here?" Ms. Maxim asked.

"He will be here any minute," Dumbledore said cheerfully. "Would you rather wait here to greet him, or would you rather go in first and warm yourself up?"

"It's better to warm up." Madam Maxime was fully considerate of her students, because none of the dozen Beauxbatons students wore thick robes, but made of fine silk, nor did they wear a The cloak was basically shivering from the cold at this moment.

"But those horses..."

"Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher will be happy to take care of them." Dumbledore said with a smile, "But he has a little problem now. He will come back when he is done with it. It is his... well, there are other things he has to look after. Something went wrong."

"My horses require... very strong people to take care of them." Ms. Maxim said, seeming to doubt whether the Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts was up to the task. "They have very fierce tempers... "

"I assure you, Ms. Maxim, that Hagrid--he is our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Rubeus Hagrid--is fully capable of doing this job." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Very good." Ms. Maxim nodded with satisfaction and bowed slightly, "Can you tell Hagrid for me that these horses only drink single malt whiskey?"

"I'll take care of it," Dumbledore replied, bowing as well.

"Then...come on!" Ms. Maxim said majestically to her students, so the students of Hogwarts all moved out of the way, allowing her and her students to walk up the stone steps and enter. Great Hall.

Next, Xia Ran and the others had to wait for Durmstrang's representatives.

But there was silence everywhere, as if the Durmstrang people had given up on Hogwarts and were not ready to come.

"Couldn't Durmstrang have arrived earlier?" muttered Professor Flitwick.

Xia Ran also frowned, he was ready to enter the auditorium and sit for a while.
