Chapter 584 Beauxbatons School of Magic
When Ivan and others arrived, the entrance hall was already crowded with people, and the prefects of each college and Filch were working hard to maintain order.
"Don't crowd, everyone line up!" Professor McGonagall shouted loudly, then turned his attention to Ron and Parvati and scolded them sternly.
"Weasley, put your hat straight on me! And Miss Patil, you have to take that ridiculous thing off your hair."
Ron quickly fiddled with his hat, while Parvati frowned unhappily, but still took off a large butterfly headdress from the end of her braid.
Professor McGonagall continued to correct a few disheveled senior students, then looked at everyone and spoke.
"Okay, everyone, follow me! The first-year students are walking in front..."
Under the leadership of Mag, everyone quickly lined up and stood on the large lawn in front of the castle.
It was already the end of October, and it was evening. The weather was gradually getting colder. A slow cold wind blew by from time to time, and several young wizards in thin clothes shivered.
However, the slight cold wind did not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. Everyone looked eagerly towards the driveway in the distance, or discussed in a low voice.
Even the prefect's repeated scoldings could not calm them down.
"It's almost six o'clock? How do you think they will come? Take the train like us? Or use a broomstick?" Ron looked at his watch and asked expectantly.
"It could also be a Portkey or Apparition, since it's so far away!" Harry guessed. He remembered that during the previous Quidditch World Cup, spectators from all over the world used Portkeys to arrive.
Apparition can also have a similar effect, if Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students can successfully cast this magic.
"It can't be Apparition! I saw it in a school history of Hogwarts. Anti-Apparition magic was cast around the castle!"
Hermione retorted, and then she didn't know what she thought of, and continued rather dissatisfied. "Only house elves' magic will not be restricted. They can travel freely through the castle to provide services to the wizards living here!"
Seeing that Hermione was about to mention slave labor again, Harry and Ron quickly looked away and pretended not to hear.
Ivan also quickly changed the topic and pointed into the distance. "Stop arguing, look over there, someone from Beauxbatons should be here!"
Hermione and the others were stunned. When they looked in the direction Ivan pointed, they vaguely saw a black spot appearing on the horizon.
"What is that? A group of hippogriffs?" Harry squinted hard to see clearly, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly at all, so he could only guess.
The little wizards around also noticed something strange in the sky, and they all raised their heads and looked over.
The black spots on the horizon were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually everyone could clearly see a huge thing passing through the clouds, flying lower and lower over the Forbidden Forest and rushing towards this side!
"Oh my god, what did I see? A castle flying in the sky!" A first-year student screamed in shock.
"Idiot, that's obviously a carriage, a flying carriage!" Ron retorted excitedly.
Under everyone's gaze, the behemoth had already flown into the sky above them.
It was a pink-blue carriage as big as a house, with many gorgeous decorations hanging on it. There was also a crest printed on the door that looked like two golden crossed wands.
It is pulled into the sky by twelve silver-maned horses with wings.
These horses looked very majestic, their eyes were blood red, and they were pulling the carriage down quickly.
A large shadow shrouded the students below. The young wizards standing in the front row hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid being hit. But before they could stand still, the ground shook violently - a huge carriage. It landed less than one meter in front of them.
Then, the car door was opened. A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, fumbled to open a golden spiral staircase, and then a middle-aged witch with luxurious makeup walked out of the car. come out.
When they saw her, the students present couldn't help but gasped, even Ivan was no exception!
Because this witch is so tall!
Compared with the old professor standing at the front, Ivan thought she was as tall as two Dumbledores!
Among all the people Ivan has met, only Hagrid can compete with this witch in height.
A hybrid giant?
Ivan thought of Hagrid's words in the original time and space. Although the Beauxbatons headmistress, Ms. Maxim, firmly denied this, it seemed that it should be the case now.
Normal people are unlikely to grow that tall.
You must know that the tallest person in the Muggle world is not more than three meters tall, but Hagrid and Maxim are over four meters tall!
As a wizard who also obtained the blood of magical creatures, Ivan was somewhat interested in Maxim.
He knew very little about bloodline, and he only had some understanding based on the "Origin of Bloodline" and many notes left by Slytherin.
So Ivan thought that he might be able to find a breakthrough here with Maxim.
However, judging from the opponent's tall size, Maxim's experience should be similar to Hagrid's. It was probably because his parents had some close relationship with the giant that they created such a hybrid giant.
According to the description in "Origin of Bloodline", it is considered the lowest means of obtaining bloodline!
Most of the anomalies produced in this way are due to accidents. After all, few wizards have such a strong taste.
He, Tom Riddle and a certain ancestor of the Dumbledore family used much more advanced techniques, using potions, contracts and other means to seize the power of magical creatures and turn them into their own use.
While Ivan was distracted by his thoughts, Dumbledore had already stepped forward with a smile and started chatting with Ms. Maxim.
On the huge carriage behind them, more than a dozen students got off. Judging from their age, they were all around eighteen or nineteen years old. Most of them were girls. They were all beautiful and wearing gorgeous silk robes.
Ivan stared at them, trying to find the legendary hybrid Veela.
However, some girls from Beauxbatons had their heads wrapped with scarves and headscarves. Ivan didn't know who Fleur was, but he saw her sister Gabrielle.
Because this little girl is young and short, she is too obvious in the crowd...
"What are you looking for? Ivan?" Hermione suddenly interrupted Ivan's thoughts, pursed her lips, and looked unhappy.
"Just to see the excitement, this is my first time seeing other wizard school students!" Ivan smiled, turned his head back, and replied calmly.
