Chapter 518: Standing at Attention (Modified, Sincere Thanks to Alliance Leader Stardust Son)
The exchange students at Hogwarts got into the groove very quickly in Durmstrang. What made them happier was that they didn’t have to worry about being late for class at Durmstrang. Compared with a total of 142 students, In a Hogwarts with many stairs, Durmstrang's stairs are much friendlier.
For the exchange students at Hogwarts, what is somewhat challenging is the course itself. It's not that the professors' coursework is so difficult to understand, but that Durmstrang's little wizards are like chicken blood, trying their best to compete with the exchange students at Hogwarts in class performance.
Durmstrang's professors were happy to see this situation. They felt that it was really wise for the principal and Hogwarts to jointly carry out student exchange activities, and the campus atmosphere was completely new. It is a pity that the exchange students at Hogwarts can choose their own courses at any time. The teaching experience with them and without them is really different. If there are no exchange students from Hogwarts in a class, even the professor who teaches I feel a little listless myself.
The most fierce competition is the black magic class and the duel class. These two courses have never been offered at Hogwarts, and they are also the most popular courses among exchange students at Hogwarts.
Black magic is taught in an underground classroom. It’s not just cold here. Compared to the grand and simple design and decoration of the main building of the castle above, whether it’s the green candlelight on the wall or the candles placed along the wall All kinds of animal specimens exude a sinister, eerie atmosphere.
Professor Pavlichenko of Black Magic is a small, middle-aged witch. She has almost green skin, and she shows sharp teeth when she speaks. Her ten fingernails are all black and bumpy. These are definitely not smooth nails. The colors and effects that oils can achieve. But her blue eyes are very beautiful, although her gaze seems empty and cold, like the deep sea, ruthless but charming.
"Black magic is not evil magic. It is just different from ordinary magic spells. Just like the Patronus Charm, some black magic depends on the user's wishes. But if you don't have a certain degree of attainment in the knowledge of the soul and death , it is impossible to understand the intoxicating secrets of black magic, and if you engage in it rashly, the consequences are very dangerous. Be careful to learn the relevant knowledge of black magic, so as not to become a victim of black magic itself, but since you hope to obtain the power of darkness, Rely on, then I tell you, don’t be afraid, the pursuit of dark power comes from a survival instinct and desire for life in your heart..." Her voice was rough and hoarse, almost slightly higher than a whisper, although it was elastic. She spoke in English with a heavy accent, but the exchange students still understood every word she said.
Just like Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape at Hogwarts, she also has the intimidating power to keep the classroom in order without any effort.
But this did not prevent her and her Dark Arts class from becoming the favorite class among the exchange students at Hogwarts. They are not so superficial. From Professor Pavlichenko's seemingly terrifying appearance, they see her meticulousness and thoughtfulness. For example, the words above were originally spoken by the professor to the first-year wizards who had just come into contact with black magic. The reason why he said it again in the upper grades was precisely to take care of them who had come from Hogwarts and had never attended. Exchange student in the dark arts class.
Before going to the dueling class, the exchange students at Hogwarts were fully prepared. They all knew about Allen's great power and were prepared for a rainy day. They felt that they were likely to encounter challenges in the dueling class. We must not embarrass Ellen or Hogwarts. Even Malfoy secretly wore a few magical protective gears in hidden places on his body.
Not only them, Professor Carson Monte from the dueling class was also full of resentment and anxiety. After he regained control of his body from the cellar, he saw the TV playing in front of him, and reflexively tried to touch the wand to cast a curse on Allen on the TV, but it came up empty. When he angrily planned to ask his family to help him regain his residence, he received a shouting letter from his family before he even left the room.
The local Ministry of Magic received the TV and Ellen-edited videos sent to them by the British Ministry of Magic. The British Ministry of Magic strongly protested that the exchange students at Hogwarts had been unfairly treated, and threatened to put them away if they were not properly handled. Publicizing it to the public and causing trouble for them, this kind of behavior that can be regarded as triggering an international dispute, coupled with the irrefutable video evidence of the other party, made the local Ministry of Magic's senior officials extremely angry. Embarrassed, they directly found Carson Mount's location. For the Monte family, not only the various industries under their family name have been subject to various forms of inspection, but also various special permissions have been gradually withdrawn. This is punishment for Vice Principal Monte's abuse of power, and it is also a disguised explanation to the British Ministry of Magic.
Not only had the plan to retaliate against Harris had to be postponed, but the Monte family, which had also suffered huge losses in family interests, directed its anger at Vice Principal Monte, asking him to restrain himself in the school and stop making arbitrary decisions that would bring shame to the family.
This roaring letter was like a bucket of ice water pouring down on Vice Principal Monte's head, and it also extinguished his desire to find Allen to return to his residence. In addition, Allen's original threats seemed to still ring in Vice Principal Monte's ears, so the family of three simply settled in the cellar.
Vice Principal Monte was extremely worried when he entered the dueling class. If that hateful Alan Harris continued to challenge in the classroom, I am afraid that Durmstrang's dueling class would no longer be necessary. But to his surprise, the class went very smoothly. Alan Harris behaved in class like a good student who listened carefully and showed no signs of causing trouble.
Malfoy would not pay attention to Monte's mixed feelings. In fact, in addition to the courses, he was looking forward to today's dinner. Alan told him that the wizards from Harris who worked in Durmstrang would prepare for them. A grand welcome dinner was held, and among these exchange students, except for Luna, who was particularly close to Allen, Allen only brought him with him, which made Draco very happy.
That night, they and the Umbrella Team were invited to Karkaroff's principal's dormitory, where several empty dining tables were temporarily placed. Allen and Luna were specially invited to sit down at the guest of honor seat, accompanied by wizards from the Karkaroff and Harris families who were professors in Durmstrang. The team members sat scattered with the sent guards, and Draco was handed over to Long Eye, who was said to be second only to the wolf mother in taking care of children, to stay with him and take care of him.
Karkaroff remained standing, and the restaurant gradually became quiet. "Good evening, colleagues from the Harris family." Karkaroff said, looking around at everyone with a cheerful face. Ever since he learned about Carson Monte's experience, his smile has not retreated from his face, "I am now Everyone is invited to eat and drink as much as you would at home." Karkaroff opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.
The plates in front of them were immediately piled with food, black caviar, pickles, pies, blintzes... These strange foods attracted the full attention of the Hogwarts exchange students. These were different from the British full-fledged food. A variety of exotic and sumptuous dishes were placed before them.
"Beef stew. In the 18th century, Prince Stragonov's chef combined French beef stew cooking methods with Russian sour cream sauce to create this fragrant and tender classic combination." Changyan served some himself. The beef stew was introduced to Draco, and then he pointed to a large bowl of bright red soup as if remembering something and recommended to Draco, "This borscht is a bit spicy, with a bit of sour and sweet. I I see you like eating sour food on the boat? I think you will like it. We should be lucky that there are no Swedes here today. If we need to take care of them and let Swedish "delicious food" be included, we probably won't be able to eat it. You must know that their number in Durmstrang is not small."
"I'll give it a try." Draco said, preparing to serve himself a bowl of soup to try.
"I'll bring you a glass of wine to welcome the newcomers." Professor Pavlichenko of Black Magic suggested, raising a cup filled with vodka. Karkaroff had previously fired many professors to make room for the elite wizards of the Harris family, and Professor Pavlichenko was the first old employee of Durmstrang College to surrender to Harris.
"Excuse me, can you give me a cup of Earl Gray tea?" Draco had to put down the spoon and asked.
??????"Ah, these British people drink vodka mixed with black tea." Pavlichenko shook his head, looked sideways like Draco, and used her heavily accented English and gestures with her hands. , "After we reach late autumn, all other drinks will be frozen." Then she raised the cup and looked at her colleagues with a proud smile, "Except vodka."
Seeing everyone raising their glasses one after another, Draco looked at the glass of wine in front of his table, hesitated, and asked the long-eyed man next to him for help: "But I'm not an adult yet. According to the law, I can't drink."
??"Minors in Durmstrang are not allowed to drink, but this is just vodka. In fact, you will know the customs here after living for a few more days. I also graduated from here." With a trace of nostalgia His long eyes saw the hesitation on Malfoy's face, and he leaned into his ear to persuade him, "Didn't you say you wouldn't miss any dark magic class? You wouldn't drink when Professor Pavlichenko brought it, just like It's the same as when you used bad words to insult people in the UK."
Draco was a bit stunned: "Huh?"
Long Eyes continued to whisper to him: "Do you want to insult the professor who teaches you black magic with dirty words? She and I are old acquaintances, and I suggest you not to do this."
Draco turned his head and glanced at Professor Pavlichenko, who was holding a cup and paying attention to their whispers. Her almost green skin made him feel that this color was so scary for the first time as a Slytherin. He quickly shook his head, and his voice sounded a little trembling: "No, I don't want to."
The coward who looked at the little snake with long eyes suppressed a smile and nodded to Draco, "Then drink it and drink it all in one go."
Draco sluggishly imitated the others, raised his glass, and drank the vodka in the glass with everyone. In an instant, he felt that the liquid flowing down his stomach seemed to be burning. He, who had always been a little pale, suddenly blushed on his neck. Within a minute or two, he lay on the table and couldn't get up.
Long Eye made his cloak fly from the clothes hanger in the distance and covered Draco who fell into sleep. "I'm really good at taking care of children. UU Readingwww.uukanshu.net" After saying that, he changed his gentle demeanor and drank the remaining vodka in the glass in one gulp, took the bottle handed over by Professor Pavlichenko, and They drank directly from the bottle with a "dun-dun-dun" sound.
Luna, who was sitting at the guest of honor seat, had no worries about drinking. The professors obviously would not embarrass the little girl brought here by the family heir. Although the status of the people at their table was the highest in the room, the atmosphere was But it was more relaxed and harmonious. Everyone was not bound by etiquette. After introducing themselves to Allen, they all enjoyed the food in front of them.
Luna tilted her head and stared at a plate of white cream-like paste, spread it on a small piece of black bread with a knife, opened her mouth and put it into her mouth in one breath, imitating the movements of several old wizards. Then Luna suddenly stood up from the chair under Allen's surprised gaze, her back straightened, and with her standing movement, it seemed that the thing suddenly slipped into her esophagus, causing her to Her slightly bulging eyes suddenly opened wider and rounder. She hurriedly poured the untouched glass of vodka into her throat as if it were ice water, and the next second she choked and coughed.
"Miss Lovegood is indeed someone who enjoys delicious food. My favorite is this traditional delicacy, which is to spread pickled lard on brown bread and eat it with vodka. In the cold winter, this way of eating It will provide you with enough calories. You know, if the professors here are not born in Eastern Europe, it will be difficult for them to accept it." Karkaroff complimented from the side.
