Moonlight Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 247 Welcome
This afternoon, everyone had no intention of attending the class, everyone's face was restless, and everyone was looking forward to the Triwizard Tournament.

The bell finally rang slowly, and all the little wizards rushed to the front of the hall and lined up at the request of the professor.

"Ivan, Hermione, you two follow me." Teacher McGonagall walked up to Ivan and Hermione and said something, and then hurried out.

"Weasley, put your hat on straight; Creevey, tuck your shirt into your trousers!" Professor McGonagall said sternly to Ron, "and you, Miss Patil, put that ridiculous thing on your head take it off."

Frowning unhappily, a young Gryffindor wizard removed a large butterfly tiara from its braids.

The little wizards looked at Ivan and Hermione, who were following Professor McGonagall, with envious expressions in their eyes, but no one spoke out against it.

Everyone knows that Ivan and Hermione are the real heirs of Professor McGonagall, even though they are actually students of Ravenclaw College, but even Professor Flitwick just pointed at Professor McGonagall tremblingly, In the end nothing was said.

All the little wizards were waiting there, and with the passage of time bit by bit, the restlessness in their hearts was hard to restrain, and they all started whispering.

Professor McGonagall watched all this with a blank face, without saying anything.

"Look over there!"

Suddenly, a little wizard in the sixth grade shouted loudly, and everyone hurriedly followed the direction of his finger, a huge monster flew quickly from the sky, and then it became bigger and bigger in everyone's field of vision...

They saw a gigantic powder-blue carriage flying towards them as something huge flew over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, illuminated by the lights from the castle windows.

It was as big as a house, and it was drawn in the air by twelve winged horses, all silver-maned horses, and each of them was about the size of an elephant.

When the carriage stopped under the amazed eyes of everyone, a boy 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.

He jumped back respectfully, and Harry saw a shiny black high-heeled shoe stick out of the carriage - the shoe was as big as a child's sleigh - followed by a woman, one of the largest. Big, he had never seen it in his life.

It was thus self-evident why the carriage and those silver-maned horses were so large.

"That's Mrs. Maxim," Mr. McGonagall introduced to Ivan and Hermione softly, "As my student, you can also get to know her."

Ivan nodded. He knew that Mr. McGonagall was planning for his future. He now has strength and wealth, but in the magic world, whether it is him or Hermione, it is still very lacking. of.

Just like the wine bureau in later generations, one's elders introduce themselves to his friends, and if they happen to meet in the future, they will always help more or less. This is the role of connections, and this is why Mr. McGonagall will The reason for bringing the two of them behind has nothing to do with selfishness. There are only so many people in Hogwarts, so there is no such thing as selfishness.

With the appearance of Mrs. Maxime, everyone found that she was actually very beautiful, with a handsome olive face, a pair of black and big watery eyes, and a very pointed nose. Her hair was combed in the The back of the head is tied into a shiny bun at the base of the neck.

Dumbledore applauded slowly, and even the little wizards began to applaud.

Madame Maxime's face relaxed, she broke into an elegant smile, stretched out a gleaming hand, and walked towards Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore was also tall, he hardly bent down when kissing this hand .

"Dear Madame Maxime!" He said with a smile, "Welcome to Hogwarts."

At the same time, about a dozen or thirteen male and female students also got out of the carriage. At this moment, they were standing behind Madame Maxime, in the huge shadow cast by her.

Judging from their appearance, they were all about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were all trembling slightly. The robes on them seemed to be made of delicate silk.

Also, no one wore a cape, and the girls mostly covered their heads with scarves or hoods.

Mrs. Maxime and Dumbledore exchanged simple greetings, and then Dumbledore invited these people to walk up the stone steps. Ivan noticed that Mrs. Maxime's eyes would fall on him from time to time, so he turned his head towards Madame Maxime smiled, and Madame Maxime smiled back.

Time passed slowly again, and it began to get colder and colder here. Ivan thought for a while, tapped his index finger lightly, and a warm halo appeared around him, covering Mr. McGonagall, Hermione, and others. enveloped himself.

Professor McGonagall frowned, looked at the golden halo around him, raised his hand to hide the halo, but the warm effect was still there.

Just then, out of the darkness came a loud and strange sound toward them: a muffled rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along a river bed.
Right in the middle of the lake, a big whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake...

A long black rod-like thing slowly rises from the center of the vortex...

Mast?
Slowly, with great grandeur, the great ship rose out of the water, gleaming in the moonlight.

It looked eerily, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a wreck that had just been salvaged, and the portholes flickered with a dim, misty gleam that looked like ghostly eyes.

Finally, with a rumble of splashing water, the big boat came out completely, tossed over the undulating water, and began to head towards the shore of the lake.

Moments later, they heard a thud, an iron anchor dropped into the shallow water, and then another thud, a plank on the shore.

A lot of wizards with extraordinarily large sizes got off the boat. When they got closer, everyone realized that the reason why they looked tall was that they were all wearing a kind of fur cloak with tangled fur.

But the man who led them to the castle wore a different kind of fur: silvery white, soft and smooth, much like his hair.

Dumbledore! ' cried the man enthusiastically, as he came up the slope, 'how are you, my dear old chap? "

"Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

Karkaroff's voice was mellow and sweet.When he stepped into the light from the castle's main entrance, they saw that he was tall and thin like Dumbledore, but his white hair was cut short, and his goatee didn't quite cover his thin chin.

Ivan noticed an obviously hostile gaze cast towards him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered, isn't this the boy who struck up a conversation with Hermione in the previous World Cup?
Krum's bushy brows were drawn into a frown, his hostility barely concealed.

Ivan thought for a while, and suddenly grabbed Hermione's little hand, and then kissed her on the face, then turned to look at Krum, raising his eyebrows.

Then, Krum's hostility grew.

Professor McGonagall apparently also noticed the sight over there, and when welcoming these people back to the auditorium, he patted Ivan on the head, "That Krum... Is there a conflict between you?"

Ai Wen nodded, with a serious face, "The enmity of life and death!"

Hermione blushed a little.

Professor McGonagall looked puzzled.

But obviously, the arrival of Krum caused a commotion among the young wizards at Hogwarts. After all, Krum is one of the best Seekers in the world.

Since Professor McGonagall didn't let the two of them leave, Ivan and Hermione had no choice but to follow Mr. McGonagall to the classroom seats. When they saw two small benches beside Professor McGonagall's chair, they immediately Knowing that, he followed Mr. McGonagall and sat down without hesitation.
