Chapter 388 Hogwarts, Don’t Wait Any Longer (Thank You, Leader Daddy)

Chapter 388 Hogwarts, don’t wait any longer (thank you, leader Daddy)

The notice in the foyer had a clear impact on those who lived in the castle. In the days that followed, no matter where you went, you heard everyone talking about the Triwizard Tournament.

Among them, what has aroused the most discussion is who will compete to be the Hogwarts Warrior, followed by what events will be included in the competition.

Among the many seventh-year students in Hogwarts, as well as the qualified sixth-year students, Hufflepuff students are more optimistic about Cedric Diggory of their own house, and the other three houses also have their own students they are optimistic about.

Each of these people participating in the discussion is canvassing votes for the candidate they support, as if this will get him elected. However, everyone was very restrained and did not turn from discussion into full-scale martial arts.

Strangely, Ada's name was not included in the list of candidates selected by the students. Even the Gryffindor students never mentioned Ada. It seemed that everyone had collectively classified Ada as a student.

Everyone is enthusiastically discussing who can become the champion of Hogwarts. You suddenly come over and throw out the correct answer. What do you want to do? Why is it so annoying!

The students were busy discussing, and the faculty and staff were not idle either. They were all busy cleaning the castle thoroughly. Portraits hanging on the walls, the corners of the stairs, the corners of the castle, etc.

The caretaker, Argus Filch, wanders around the castle all day long, making strict demands on every student he sees. The prefects of each college were also busy, patrolling the castle and punishing students who violated disciplines.

The professors seemed particularly nervous. Professor McGonagall personally came to the Gryffindor common room and had a long chat with Fred and George for an hour, hoping that they could be more honest when visiting outsiders.

It is said that Dumbledore also personally talked with Peeves... but he doesn't know what the effect will be.

October 30th came in a blink of an eye, and the auditorium was decorated overnight. Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a house at Hogwarts. Behind the staff desk hung the largest banner with the Hogwarts crest on it.

During breakfast the twins were encouraging Harry and Ron again, asking them if they were interested in participating in their plan.

During this time, George once asked Professor McGonagall to know how the warriors were selected. But Professor McGonagall didn't tell George. Professor McGonagall just told George to shut up and concentrate on transforming his raccoon.

Hermione also took out her treasure, "Hogwarts: A History of the School", or call it "A Revised History of Hogwarts".

Hermione was dissatisfied because of the presence of house elves in the school, but she couldn't solve the problem, which made her even more uncomfortable.

On this day, there was a joyful mood of anticipation in the air. In class, no one was paying attention. Everyone was thinking about the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students they were going to meet tonight and what they looked like.

The students managed to survive until the afternoon. A group of people rushed out of the classroom in a hurry. After putting away their belongings, they rushed into the hall like flying.

The deans of the colleges are ordering their students to line up. The presidents of the male and female student unions and the prefects of each college are cooperating with the orders of their deans. Ada walked up and down the line, checking the students' appearance as ordered.

The students seemed to be too excited, and many of them spent a lot of time dressing up. Some people put on makeup, some wore all kinds of jewelry, and everyone was dressed up in a fancy way.

Ada felt that she might have never said so many words in her life, and she felt like fire was coming out of her throat.

Finally, the four teams were organized. Under the leadership of the professor, everyone filed down the steps and lined up 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.

As time passed, the team gradually became restless, and many people looked at their watches impatiently. It's not that cold at Hogwarts at the end of October. If we wait any longer, everyone might freeze.

It was getting dark, and Dumbledore suddenly shouted: "Ah! If I'm not mistaken, the Beauxbatons representative has already arrived!"

The students immediately became excited, eagerly asking "where" the people around them were and looking in different directions.

In the dark blue night sky, a huge object was flying rapidly towards the castle, gradually getting bigger and bigger. As the behemoth approached, Ada also saw clearly what it was. It was a pink-blue carriage pulled by twelve flying horses.

The tall Hagrid stood in an open space in front of the castle holding a dazzling light sign, directing the huge carriage to land like an airport ground crew.

Pegasus was obviously not suitable for this kind of landing, so there was a problem with where they landed. Although the "flight" from Beauxbatons landed safely, it almost cost Hagrid his final journey.

The door slowly opened, and a boy with red lips and white teeth 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.

Ada's eyes widened in an instant. This boy was none other than her cousin Héctor Rozier who went to school in Beauxbatons. Ada received a letter from Héctor at the beginning of October. At that time, he still said that he would not come to Hogwarts. How come he changed his mind at the end of the month?

After Ector lowered the spiral staircase, a woman who looked bigger than Hagrid came out. She was wrapped in a black satin dress from head to toe, with many luxurious opals shining on her neck and thick fingers.

Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, and the students also followed suit. The students were all stunned by this big woman. Dumbledore stepped forward and greeted the woman cordially.

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

"Dumbledore," Ms. Maxim said in a low voice, "I hope you are well. By the way, my horses are tired and they need to be looked after."

"Don't worry, our Care of Magical Creatures professor will look after them," Dumbledore said.

At this time, Hagrid, who had "narrowly escaped death", came up and showed a naive smile. You know, Hagrid rarely has such a high-profile moment, and it seems that Ms. Maxim, who is also huge, has made him fond of her.

"My horse needs single malt whiskey, Mr. Hagrid," Lady Maxime said elegantly.

Hagrid smiled silly and patted his chest, promising that he would take good care of these Pegasus. Even if something happened to him, nothing would happen to these Pegasus.

No wonder those Pegasus couldn't find the landing spot when they first landed. It turned out to be a drunk driver. You can ride a broomstick without drinking, and you can drink without riding a broomstick. Don’t you understand such basic principles?

Behind Ms. Maxim, twelve or thirteen male and female students also walked over. These students from Beauxbatons were trembling slightly. The blue robes they wore were all made of silk and could not block the cold wind in Scotland at the end of October.

In the Hogwarts student team, Fred touched Ada and asked in a low voice: "Why do they wear so little clothes? Is the weather in Beauxbatons nice?"

"At least it's better than here." Ada thought for a moment and replied, "Beauxbatons seems to be in the Pyrenees Mountains of France."

The Hogwarts students moved out of the way, allowing Madam Maxime and her shivering students to pass.

After they entered the castle, the students at Hogwarts began to discuss Durmstrang again. Everyone was shocked by the way Beauxbatons appeared, and they also had more expectations for Durmstrang who had not yet arrived.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and even the Hogwarts students who were accustomed to the cold began to shiver. Everyone stared at the sky eagerly, waiting for Durmstrang to fly over like Beauxbatons.

But there was nothing in the dark blue night sky. Instead, a very loud and strange sound floated towards them from the darkness. That direction was the Black Lake.

The dark water was no longer calm, with huge splashes rising on the water, and waves crashing against the wet lake shore. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the lake, as if the plug at the bottom of the bathtub had been removed.

A long black pole-like thing slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool... Then a magnificent sailboat appeared in front of everyone, and the big ship shone in the moonlight.

Good guys, dream collaboration!

Ada in the crowd looked at the boat and couldn't help but call him "good guy". She couldn't stop thinking wildly in her heart. What she thought about the most was: What if an octopus-faced man walked out of the boat soon? what to do?

The people on the boat were coming ashore, and they all looked very tall. As they got closer, the students realized that Durmstrang's visitors were wearing thick fur cloaks, thicker than the winter cloaks worn at Hogwarts.

The leader was a tall, thin man with a sinister face. His cloak was different from the others. It was silver-white, soft and slippery. This man is Durmstrang's principal, Igor Karkaroff.

Karkaroff greeted Dumbledore warmly, as if the two of them were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. But Ada knew that before he became Durmstrang's principal, Karkaroff was a notorious Death Eater.

"It's so good to be here, so good... Viktor, come here and warm yourself up... Do you mind, Dumbledore? Viktor has a little cold..."

Karkaroff motioned for one of his students to come forward. As the boy approached, the Hogwarts student team let out bursts of exclamations——

"Krum, Viktor Krum!"

The team at Hogwarts immediately became restless, and many nymphomaniac girls wanted to rush out of the team to get Krum's autograph. Ada also heard disgusting words from several girls.

"You said he would sign my hat with lipstick? Anywhere else!"

Ouch!

In addition to those crazy girls, more boys fell into madness. They were even crazier than the girls. Some even shouted Klum's name until their voices broke.

Looking at the crazy men and women in front of her, Ada lowered her head feebly. This is Hogwarts, so don’t wait!
