Chapter 401 Welcome Dinner at Beauxbatons

"Professor Dumbledore, are you sure I want to go in from here? Just the two of us?"

"Of course, what do you think?" Dumbledore said, he looked very relaxed.

In fact, as the representative team of Hogwarts, a team with only two people can't help but feel a little chilly.

Although it is enough to have Dumbledore, what about Fanlin?

This always makes people feel embarrassed.

I don't think I need to introduce too much about the style of Beauxbatons. The exquisite decoration makes the entire Beauxbatons Castle very gorgeous, just like an elegant aristocratic courtyard, and Fanlin is now going to enter the hall from the main gate of Beauxbatons.

For Dumbledore, Beauxbatons still has to put on a high-standard welcome ceremony, even if there are only two people.

"Professor Dumbledore, please get ready. The banquet is about to begin."

"Okay." Dumbledore nodded gently. This is a butler of Beauxbatons. He is like Mr. Filch, but this butler is much better than Mr. Filch. At least he wears a suit, just like the butlers in those noble families.

In fact, Fanlin didn't know much about Beauxbatons. Most of the understanding was done after Dumbledore said he would bring him to Beauxbatons.

Unlike Hogwarts, Beauxbatons' enrollment is much earlier. From the age of nine, freshmen have begun to spend nine years in Beauxbatons.

Nine-year compulsory education?

However, this does not show that the students of Beauxbatons are much better than those of Hogwarts.

However, Fanlin now has an illusion that he is about to participate in the sorting in front of the hall of Beauxbatons.

It may be because he has become the successor of Nicolas Flamel, but this is undoubtedly ridiculous.

Beauxbatons does not use the division of colleges. The only difference between all people is the grade.

In fact, Fanlin thinks this is also very good. At least it is fair treatment. There is no possibility of a college war.

But grade disputes? The lower grade students will always suffer. After all, they are not stupid.

For tonight's banquet, Beauxbatons has obviously made careful preparations. It can be seen from the pattern on the door, which exudes a beautiful and dreamy color.

"Let us welcome friends from Hogwarts." Madam Maxime's voice came from behind the door.

"We are going in." Dumbledore whispered, accompanied by a creaking door. The magnificent hall of Beauxbatons appeared in front of Fanlin.

The walls covered with oil paintings are dotted with stars, and the candlelight suspended in the air makes the already golden hall even more dazzling.

The statues were all wrapped in light blue ribbons, which were the eyes of Beauxbatons, and the blazing school emblem, which gave Fanlin the illusion of being in a palace.

Unlike Hogwarts, the dome of Hogwarts was a ceiling with magic, used to show the weather.

The dome of Beauxbatons had a texture similar to that of a church, and the oil painting seemed to have become the style of Beauxbatons.

With blue as the base tone, it was like showing people a dreamy heaven.

Fanlin looked at the Beauxbatons auditorium curiously. The heaven in the dome was now full of ghosts. Fanlin vaguely recognized one or two ghosts he had seen before. They were all crowded on the oil paintings and ceilings, curiously staring at the two people from Hogwarts.

Of course, Dumbledore would not have the same eyes as Fanlin, as Dumbledore was no longer surprised by such scenes.

As a matter of course, on both sides of the long table covered with light blue tablecloth, all the students of Beauxbatons were curiously observing the visitors from Hogwarts.

If it were Hogwarts, all the young wizards would have been furious during this period. Sorry, it is impossible for them not to talk about it. And the bold ones would definitely invite the young ladies of Beauxbatons to sit there.

On the contrary, Fanlin could see that these young wizards were very restrained, but their curious eyes completely betrayed them. Fanlin also noticed the young lady he met when he first came, which was very embarrassing. He was forced to hide in the toilet. Now thinking about it makes Fanlin feel his face start to burn.

The students of Beauxbatons looked at Dumbledore with respect, of course, Fanlin also noticed that there were a few people with disdain in their eyes.

Dumbledore's status was too high, and of course, there would always be people who would question him, but he didn't do anything.

Unlike those passionate and beautiful Beauxbatons girls, Fanlin's eyes were not so friendly when she saw some boys, as if they were provoking her, but Fanlin really didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Fanlin also knew the reason.

Like Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were listed as the three major magic schools in Europe. Naturally, just like Fanlin people still think Hogwarts is the best, all the little wizards will consciously protect their own schools.

And because of Dumbledore, Hogwarts seemed to be firmly suppressed by Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. It's not just about reputation, it's a gap in strength and reputation, even if Beauxbatons has Flamel sitting in.

In this case, naturally all the passionate men would not give Fanlin any good face.

As an exchange student sent by Hogwarts, Fan Lin is supposed to be the best at Hogwarts, so Fan Lin also knows very well that these little wizards who are unwilling to be inferior to others want to defeat him.

This is bragging rights.

I defeated the best students at Hogwarts, and it looked like Hogwarts was just mediocre.

This is undoubtedly a very boring thing. Even he cannot represent the entire Hogwarts. He does not want to pay attention to such boring things. He just wants to learn alchemy.

But there are really people who overestimate their abilities, and Fanlin doesn't mind teaching them a lesson to maintain the dignity of Hogwarts? Whether Fanlin wants it or not, he must do it.

"Hello, Headmaster Albus."

Unknowingly, Fanlin had followed Dumbledore to the front of the auditorium.

"Welcome, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore."

"Thank you, Madam Maxime." Dumbledore kissed the back of Madam Maxime's hand. Although they had only met her during the day, the necessary etiquette must still be observed.

Fanlin looked towards the rostrum. The seat in the middle belonged to Madame Maxime, next to it was Dumbledore, and next to it was Nicolas Flamel.

Well, there was indeed no place for him. He had already thought of sitting among the crowd at Beauxbatons, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one invited him?

Madame Maxime has invited Dumbledore to the podium.

Fan Lin looked back. If he kept standing like this, Fan Lin felt that Hogwarts would start to be humiliated.

But soon Fanlin was attracted by a beautiful French girl sitting at the head of the long table, the president of the student union. This made people marvel at the girl's charm.

The long silver-white hair like a waterfall is draped softly on the girl's shoulders.

The wheat-colored skin that appears due to long-term exercise looks particularly beautiful and very attractive.

The girl walked forward, her blue eyes like bright stars, and she smiled slightly, revealing her white teeth.

This girl didn't seem to have to do anything, just sit there and attract the attention of everyone present with her perfect appearance.

She was the most special one, even though everyone was wearing Beauxbatons' sky blue uniform.

Fan Lin knew very well who was coming, Fleur Delacour, the girl with Veela blood and the warrior selected by Beauxbatons.

"Can I invite you to sit here?" Furong's voice was a little hoarse, soft and magnetic, and her English with a slight French accent did not make Fanlin feel any discomfort. On the contrary, the sound is actually very nice.

True to her reputation as a Veela, Fleur was simply a luminous, beautiful and charming presence among the Beauxbatons students. Gabrielle was still too young, like a porcelain doll, so it would be more appropriate to leave it to Fleur to attract such a name.

But Fanlin was even more grateful to Furong for relieving his embarrassment in time.

"Of course, I'm honored." Fan Lin said, he stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, my name is Fan Lin Aier."

"Fleur Delacour!" Fleur smiled slightly, "Let's go over, Madame Maxime has asked me to reserve a seat for you."

"Thank you very much." Fan Lin said, and under the leadership of Fleur, the two quickly sat down on Beauxbatons' long table.

Fan Lin seemed a little out of place. Everyone was wearing sky blue colors, but he was the only one wearing a black Hogwarts uniform.

Okay, now is not the time to complain.

In fact, Fanlin stopped talking to Fleur after he sat down. Even though he wanted to know more about Beauxbatons, Madam Maxime's conversation made everyone shut up.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts and our most distinguished guests!" Mrs. Maxim said, and the amplifying spell made Mrs. Maxim's voice spread to every corner of the auditorium.

"Today, it is with great honor and joy that we welcome the greatest wizard of this century, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who leads the outstanding talents of Hogwarts. Students come to visit us at Beauxbatons. I hope and believe that Beauxbatons will provide the most comfortable experience for our distinguished guests.”

A round of warm applause burst out in the auditorium at the right time. Even though they had just passed Dumbledore, all the students still unconsciously wanted to take a look at the greatest wizard in the world.

However, not all the eyes were eager. Fan Lin noticed that several senior students made disdainful snorts. Fan Lin also saw that Mr. Brown, whom he had met before, was among them. It seemed that He looked very embarrassed after being caught.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly stupid in Fan Lin's eyes. Does it have bad thoughts about Dumbledore?

Even Tom Riddle couldn't do it, and how much trouble some Beauxbatons students could cause was nothing more than slander.

Mr. Brown seemed a little ashamed. He glanced at Fan Lin angrily, and then the friends next to him snickered, but the eyes he looked at Fan Lin were full of provocation.

I really can't be bothered to pay attention to these ignorant humans. How could Dumbledore's majesty be like this...

Fan Lin quickly turned around, he didn't want to cause trouble in Beauxbatons yet.

Fleur saw everything, but she didn't seem to have any intention of taking a stand on this matter.

It can be seen that I don't seem to be valued by Fleur, or...

The light music came from nowhere, and the students of Beauxbatons began to sing the school song, a light French song. As the music passed, this light sound seemed particularly touching.

This reminded Fan Lin of the Hogwarts school song, and he couldn't help but compare it. Fan Lin has never heard a normal version of the Hogwarts school song.

In fact, since Dumbledore took office, the school song of Hogwarts has never been sung in unison.

Now think about it, it's really a bit... Fan Lin still hasn't memorized the lyrics of the Hogwarts school song.

A few minutes later, the singing stopped, and Madam Maxim motioned everyone to sit down together, and the banquet officially began. (To be continued)
