Chapter 1101 ? 1001 Nights

A few days later, the renovation and expansion projects of Hogwarts were completed one after another, and with the completion of some projects, the construction speed became faster and faster, because the vacated dementors were put into the construction of other projects .

The Harris Castle standing on the island in the middle of the Black Lake has also been successfully completed. From a distance, the clear lake, lush forests, and the castle standing on the water are as beautiful as a fantasy, adding another landscape to Hogwarts.

In the Hogwarts expansion area, Allen accompanied a group of principals and members of the Animagus International Symposium who were invited by him to visit the new school.

After the newly built commercial square connected to the huge Ravenclaw temple on the south side of Hogwarts came out, especially Igor Karkaroff, he was not stingy with his praise, and he completely ignored the newly built square The fact that the scale is too large and there are not many people who live in it seems deserted, but it is constantly praising its size: "Hogwarts is now the world's number one wizarding school, no matter in terms of scale or teaching quality..." Speaking of this Karkaroff seemed to realize that he was too shameless to say that he was the principal of Durmstrang, so he coughed dryly, "In fact, I think its scale should be regarded as the only one in our wizarding world that truly belongs to us. A city of wizards...the settlements of wizards in various villages and towns are nothing compared to this university city."

"It reminds me of a small town in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria, Austria, where many wizards live. It is the town of Hallstatt on the shore of Lake Hallstatt. The Black Lake is the same as that , the mountains and the crystal-clear lake here turn this place into a paradise on earth... Is there a hotel by the lake? I plan to stay for a day or two before leaving... If Muggles can see this place, the name of the most beautiful town in the world The number will be changed to Hogwarts." Mrs. Olim Maxim obviously has a better impression of the residential area by the river. The houses of wizards inspired the Frenchman's design. After inquiring about the residence of Hagrid, who is the professor of Protection of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts, and taking a few glances at it, she decided to take a step closer to Hagrid, and completely tear down the man who was almost on the edge of his Forbidden Forest. A log cabin that is a replica of a log cabin.

"Principal Harris, what is my duty, I have to remind you that the scope of expansion has increased so much from the original basis. If the Muggle Repelling Spell cannot be completely covered, it is likely to be broken into by Muggles. If it is not eliminated in time Muggle memories, then the wizarding world will be exposed." Babajid Akimbad, president of the International Federation of Wizards, reminded angrily, his eyes have been observing various details of Hogwarts after the expansion .

Abkind didn't say much until he mentioned the topic of Muggles. He was particularly puzzled by Alan's invitation to participate in this Animagus International Symposium, because since he was forced to go to the UK last time, After the public apology, theoretically the relationship between the two parties has dropped to a freezing point, and now the problem of Animagus transfiguration has nothing to do with him. After thinking about it again and again, I still came here on invitation, lest Allen take the opportunity to play and cause trouble.

"Thank you for your reminder, please rest assured, President Abkind..." Allen, who had changed his aggressive tone at the Federation meeting before, has a very gentle tone today, "Muggles were expelled from Hogwarts. Curse, and we've expanded the area now, so it's even more inaccessible to ordinary Muggles...they can't see what Hogwarts looks like."

This made Abakinde completely puzzled - in the face of his tentative warning, Allen still treated him so friendly, as if the previous discord at the International Federation of Wizards meeting did not exist at all.

James Maxwell, a reporter from Transfiguration Today who was invited, raised his head and said, "Principal Harris,

I know that Muggles can only see a bunch of dilapidated ruins, and a sign at the entrance that says "DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE"...and that your schools of magic and magic are enchanted and cannot be marked in any way...but now There is a hidden danger. "The old pedant paused, "I remember that in the past, Muggle electronic instruments and equipment could not be used in Hogwarts, and they would be automatically damaged, because Hogwarts is full of strong magical energy, which will damage the electronic equipment. The equipment produced strong interference, but now that the school was extended to such a distance, there was a risk of being detected by Muggles using their Muggle machines. "

"It is true, but this problem will be resolved after the Animagus International Symposium is over." Allen smiled gently at the old pedant, "However, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being, this is a Surprise...I will reveal it to everyone later.”

Seeing that Allen seemed to be in a particularly happy mood today, everyone was infected by him and the surrounding environment, and many people also smiled.

Abkind stared at Allen suspiciously, and followed him to lead the guests to continue to visit the expanded Hogwarts. After experiencing the hugeness and luxury here, he felt that he had found his way. He thought the annoying man in front of him The guy is just looking for an excuse to come over and listen to him show off the remodeled and expanded Hogwarts.

Gustrian Tutley, the representative of the Animagus International Symposium, rubbed his fingers and was in no mood to visit the Academy City. As a member of the Animagus International Symposium, he was originally registered for Animag in Allen One of the only seven wizards in the world before Si, his own animal form is a gerbil - which looks somewhat similar to his long face.

Since the end of last semester, Gustrian Tutley has been paying close attention to the fact that Alan is going to widely carry out Animagus transformation among students, so when Alan planned to convene this When the invitation letter for the meeting was sent to him, he left immediately and was the first guest to arrive at Hogwarts.

But at this time, Tutley followed Allen for a whole morning, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he moved to Allen's side, "Principal Harris, you are going to hold the Animagus International Symposium, we Why don't you hurry up and get down to business? It won't be too late for us to visit this great wizarding school later."

"Mr. Tutley, please don't worry. The students still need to prepare. The members of the British Ministry of Magic have not yet arrived at Hogwarts. They will register the little wizards on the spot later..." Allen spoke calmly , "Mr. Tutley, if you are tired, how about I arrange for you and Mr. James Maxwell to take a rest first? The three broomsticks provided us with a lot of cold drinks today..."

"No, don't bother, Principal Harris, you continue to lead the way." The old man James Maxwell seemed very energetic. Seeing his reply to Tutley, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and continue to visit with the crowd.

Leaving the square next to the Black Lake in the south of Hogwarts and walking westward, a group of people, led by Alan, entered the elementary school of Hogwarts in the forest—the children in this brightly colored castle The sound of playing and fighting filled their ears at once.

In the square, an adult wizard leads a group of too young children to shuttle between various fairy tale sculptures, and organizes these children to play games-several children were cast into a bubble by the wizard teacher, and they are in the sky outside the castle. bumping around.

Reaching out to stop the faculty and staff who wanted to come to say hello, after Alan and the guests entered the castle, the slightly older wizards in the classroom showed a more orderly classroom. The gray translucent ghost professor in the room faced a group of children The wizard told the history of magic from a script in his dull voice, and what he was talking about today seemed to be the wizard version of the story collection of One Thousand and One Nights——Professor Binns, a very old-looking ghost, was in the middle of several confusion spells in Allen. Under the influence, he didn't realize that his teaching place was no longer in Hogwarts headquarters.

"That's Professor Binns, right? I remember he was the professor of history of wizardry at Hogwarts... My students told me before the Triwizard Tournament that they didn't seem to like him... well, I mean they all liked him." Class." Karkaroff wiped his sweat, and he laughed.

"Don't worry, dear Igor, the courses taught by Binns are indeed more suitable for primary school students. Compared with those older wizards, these children who have not yet been exposed to magic spells are obviously more interested in these magical histories..." Allen Looking through the transparent glass window of the classroom, Penello's nominal apprentice, the little girl Patricia is sitting in the first row of this classroom, with her cheeks on her arms, listening very carefully.

"Oh... that's member Gilderoy Lockhart?" Mrs. Maxim's voice increased slightly.

Everyone followed Principal Beauxbaton's line of sight. At this moment, a ghost protruded from the wall, showing the back half of his body indecently, was floating not far from them, apparently peeping at the students in the teacher's room. The situation in our class. Hearing his name being called from outside the wall, the male ghost quickly retreated from the wall, and he was Gilderoy Lockhart, who had just become the ghost of Ravenclaw's new school.

"Oh, hello ladies and gentlemen... I'm just curious about the teaching methods in elementary schools." Gilderoy Lockhart showed his iconic handsome smile to the crowd, and explained with a wink that he didn't want to be People think of him as a voyeur who peeps at children, but apparently he hasn't fully adjusted to his new life after being a ghost for a short time-now he is in a state where no one thinks he is a pervert.

Mrs. Maxim waved her hand gracefully with a smile. She introduced to the disdainful guests around her, "Mr. Lockhart recently published a new book called Breaking with the Death Eaters. The story of escaping from birth with a Muggle child is his own real experience, and Principal Harris even wrote a preface for him to testify... After reading this book, I admire him very much... It is amazing to be able to change his ways and become a real hero It's not easy."

This long-lost compliment made Lockhart's signature smile even more natural, showing all eight of his teeth perfectly.

"Actually, the little Muggle girl saved by Mr. Lockhart is in class. She is a wizard. I think he was paying attention to the child he saved just now." Allen twitched the corner of his mouth to echo, and then Calmly looking at Mrs. Maxim, this book has only been on the market for a few days. Due to Gilderoy's previous reputation as a liar in the magic world, the sales volume is not very good for the time being. Basically, some die-hard female book fans are supporting him. ——And Mrs. Maxime finished reading it so quickly. It seems that Mrs. Maxime, who has always been rational and elegant, is also Lockhart's hidden book fan.

"Speaking of this, Principal Harris, I'm curious, what courses does the Hogwarts elementary school set up for children?" Mrs. Maxim paused, "Please forgive my abruptness, Alan, I just As a reminder, regarding the courses for these little wizards who are not yet ten years old, please do not arrange for them to use magic, their current magic power is unstable, and they are prone to riots and unexpected dangers."
