Chapter 281： Beautiful frozen ladies

The notice that appeared in the auditorium had a clear impact on everyone living in Hogwarts Castle.

In the next week, no matter where Mike goes, people will always talk about only one topic, and that is the Triwizard Tournament.

As for the news of Moody's return, which was posted on the notice board along with the three finals, it was ignored by everyone except Franklin.

In addition to the curiosity of Durmstrang and Boothbarton students, people are most concerned about the selection of the Hogwarts Warriors.

On this topic, the two most mentioned names are Mike and Cedric.

The students at Ravenclaw College naturally support Mike. After all, this is a well-known figure in their college. People who don't support themselves at this moment will support outsiders instead. If this is discovered, it will be isolated.

But in addition to the students at Ravenclaw College, more people think that Cedric is more likely to become a warrior at Hogwarts.

After all, Cedric and Mike are both duel champions, and Cedric is much older than Mike and is already an adult!

The growth of wizards' magical powers often ushered in a period of rapid ascent with the advent of adolescence, and becomes extremely slow after becoming an adult at the age of 17.

Studies have shown that, with the exception of a few talented people, most people’s magical power levels at the age of 40 are almost the same as those at the age of 17, which means that when they eat and wait to die as salted fish all day long , The magic power of wizards grows up to an infinitely close to 0 after adulthood!

Mike is currently only 14 years old. It can be said that he has just entered a period of rapid growth of magic power. On the other side, Cedric is already an adult. It is not surprising that his magic power is several times more than Mike.

In this case, it is no wonder that others feel that Cedric wants more.

But the students of Ravenclaw College don't think so. As the closest group of people to Mike, they know that Mike's power is now strong to a perverted level.

Ever since, the conflict began.

Mack supporters headed by the Ravenclaw students and Cedric supporters headed by the Hufflepuff students began to talk almost endlessly.

In this confrontation, the Hufflepuffs, who had always been stunned and good people in the past, showed their fierce side. Ravenclaw students were sprayed on autism almost every day.

For this situation, Mike is not surprised.

Having been in the wizarding society for so many years, his inherent impression of Hufflepuff has been completely overturned.

If you ask Mike which of the four colleges has the strongest overall strength now, he will tell you without hesitation now that it is Hufflepuff.

Hufflepuffs are definitely not a can of rice or waste like other college students said.

On the contrary, there are many amazing characters in Hufflepuff, such as Newt Scamander who wrote "Where are Fantastic Beasts", and now Cedric, which one of them is not a genius?

At the same time, Hufflepuff has a strong advantage, that is, there are many people.

Don't underestimate this advantage. In a sparsely populated wizarding society, the truth is that there are many people and power.

The founders of the four colleges had some rigid requirements for students in terms of recruiting students. For example, Slytherin needs blood, Ravenclaw needs wisdom, and Gryffindor needs courage.

Only Hufflepuff, although she has also set the standard of diligence and loyalty, in fact she is always willing to come!

Ms. Hufflepuff is definitely a kind person.

Think about it, if you were an 11-year-old Muggle kid, you received a letter of acceptance from Hogwarts on your birthday.

A brand new world opens the door to you.

Everything in this world is so novel and beautiful.

But when you came to Hogwarts to accept the sorting ceremony, you were told that you were not admitted to any academy, and you could only be casted on the oblivion spell and dropped out.

How lost you will be.

Now it seems that good people are rewarded. At least Ms. Hufflepuff’s good deeds made Hufflepuff College’s strength in the wizarding society today.

In addition to the students' changes, the faculty and staff at Hogwarts are also crazy.

Filch, the poor old dumb gun, now only sleeps for four hours a day, and he spends all his time cleaning Hogwarts Castle except eating.

In addition to the regular cleaning of floors and ceilings, those armors that were worn out and crunched when moved were also polished by Filch's polish, and all joints were greased, and now they move silently. .

He even went so crazy to clean the magical portraits. Now the portraits in the castle will run away when they see Filch, even Sir Cadogan, who has a brain problem and likes to fight with someone most.

Because once you are found by Filch, rags and brushes will greet you. These things will destroy the oil on your surface, make your surface uneven, and even fade.

For a magical portrait, this is like digging their flesh and skinning them.

And Professor McGonagall, who cares most about Hogwarts's face, has also been so busy recently.

Mike had seen Professor McGonagall's face sullen several times, yelling and blaming Zhou Hong and the brother of Colin with a nearly desperate voice.

Mike can swear that this is the first time he has seen a professor deduct points from his own college so hard, every time he deducts 50 points and 50 points.

In Ron’s words, his two older brothers have retired, and now the title of King of Hogwarts Pranks has been won by the new combination of Zhou Hong and Colin’s brother.

And they did a lot more and ruthless than the Weasley brothers.

Have you ever seen a big dung bomb explode in the lounge of your own college?

The students of Gryffindor have seen it recently, and have seen it more than once!

The tension in Hogwarts finally reached its peak on the night of October 30th.

That night, when Mike and the others gathered in front of the castle according to the previous arrangement, they were surprised to find that the entire Hogwarts had changed a lot.

Needless to say, the floor is smooth and can be used as a mirror. Flags with the Hogwarts school emblem are hung everywhere in the castle, and rows of flags of the four major colleges are hung in the auditorium.

"Is this a bit too exaggerated?" Franklin murmured while shivering in the cold wind.

There are many little wizards who are whispering like him. Professor McGonagall asked them to come here half an hour earlier to wait. Not everyone can keep the warmth curse. Some people can't stand it in such a cold environment.

"How do you say they will come? Use the door key or Apparate?"

"Don't be silly, Dumbledore will not allow anyone to create a door key that can directly enter Hogwarts, and Apparition will not work at Hogwarts." Mike softly answered Franklin's stupid question, "Besides , As usual, they will appear in a more powerful way."

"What does it mean to have more cards..."

Only halfway through Franklin's words, the crowd in front of the castle arose.

Wen Sheng Mike and the others looked up together, and saw that a behemoth in the sky comparable to an airship was quickly flying across the deep blue sky, flying towards the castle, gradually getting bigger and bigger.

"They came by plane! Puff hahaha!"

Franklin joked, but at the end he couldn't help laughing.

The huge unknown flying object was getting closer and closer to the crowd. When it entered the light range of Hogwarts, everyone finally saw its true face.

It turned out to be a carriage!

A pink-blue flying horse-drawn carriage the size of a house, drawn by twelve winged silver-mane flying horses!

Before the people in front of the castle had time to react, the carriage landed on the open space in front of the castle at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh!"

"Gosh!"

"Merlin's beard! Do you want to kill me?"

The classmates standing in the front row exclaimed for a while, and at the same time moved back quickly.

The classmates in the row behind them were also squeezed back, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Professor McGonagall's angry face turned green. Fortunately, the neat team that she had been rehearsing for almost an afternoon was disrupted.

The chaos in the Hogwarts team had not stopped, and the door of the carriage with a badge (two golden wands crisscrossed with three stars on each) was opened.

A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage neatly, bent down and skillfully buckled the mechanism on the carriage floor, and then a golden spiral staircase stretched out from the door of the carriage.

After all this, the boy stood aside respectfully.

A shiny black high-heeled shoe about the size of a small washbasin came out of the carriage, followed by a large woman who was nearly four meters tall and walked down.

As soon as this person appeared, even Mike was slightly surprised.

The image of this woman is really too weird.

Although he has the size of Hagrid, the temperament that exudes from his gestures is matched with that very handsome olive face, a pair of talking eyes, that black satin dress and all kinds of luxurious jewellery. , It gives people a noble and elegant taste.

All the students present looked stupid, until Dumbledore applauded, and everyone instinctively followed.

"Welcome to Hogwarts!" Dumbledore said, "Dear Ms. Maxim."

"Dumbledore, I hope everything is fine." Ms. Maxim's voice was unexpectedly low, but it did not lose the charm of a mature woman. "My student."

While speaking, Ms. Maxim waved her huge arm casually.

Afterwards, a dozen girls walked off the carriage.

Judging from the appearance, these girls are all about ten Ba Jiǔ years old, and all of them are shaking slightly at this moment.

This is not surprising. Their school uniforms are very delicate, but they are made of light blue silk. Although they wear gloves and hats on their hands and heads, they are also decorated with gauze gloves and The top hat has no warmth at all.

"Is Boothbat a girls' school?"

A boy in Gryffindor questioned, and a girl next to him immediately stabbed him with an elbow and replied:

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that the student who helped them up the stairs at first was a boy?"

The boy rubbed his sore chest, watching the Bussbaton boy who bowed like a servant in the last row, swallowed greatly, and said with a strange expression:

"Oh, then their feminist rights must be very prosperous."

Mike didn't whisper like everyone else, and he didn't even bother Franklin to talk to him.

Because he unexpectedly found an acquaintance in Busbarton's team.

Hibiscus!

Fleur on the other side was obviously looking for him too. After looking around for a while, he finally found Mike standing at the front of Ravenclaw's team, and then smiled sweetly at Mike.

"She smiled at me!"

"You fart! She clearly smiled at me!"

"What did you say? If you have the guts to say it again?"

"Just talk!"

"Don't quarrel, you are all misunderstood, she is obviously smiling at me."

Franklin muttered to himself like dementia, but his words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the neighbors After a while, Ravenclaw's fairly neat team became confused.

Seeing this, the girls in Boothbarton’s team were covering their mouths and laughing, while Professor McGonagall covered his face.

She had no face to look.

The commotion in her own team caught Ms. Maxim's attention. She turned her head and glanced back. The girls' smiles immediately converged, and their expressions were serious like soldiers standing guard in front of the Royal Palace, but their bodies were still shaking slightly.

Professor McGonagall has a kind of urge to run awayLook at the organization and discipline of others, how come these gangsters are so unbelievable!

In contrast, Dumbledore's performance was much more natural. He glanced at the beautiful and frozen Bussbarton girls, and then said to Ms. Maxim:

"Kakarov hasn't arrived yet, are you willing to wait here to meet him, or are you willing to go in and get warm."

"It's better to go in and get warm," Ms. Maxim said, "but these horses..."

"Don't worry, our professor in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class will take care of them."

Facing Dumbledore’s proposal, Maxim obviously hesitated. She paused and said in embarrassment:

"My steeds need... um... people with a lot of energy can take care of them. They are very temperamental..."

"I assure you that Hagrid is fully qualified for this job."

"Then... okay." Maxim bowed slightly and said, "Could you please tell that Hagrid, these horses only drink pure malt whisky."

"I'll take care of it." Dumbledore also replied.

Hearing this, Maxim nodded, spit out the two words "Come on" coldly to his students, and then walked into the castle first under the leadership of Dumbledore.

Those beautiful frozen girls breathed a sigh of relief. Originally they were ready to freeze here for more than half an hour, but now that they can enter the castle in advance to get warm, it is naturally the best.

As a result, under the gaze of all the male students at Hogwarts, Boothbatten's team stepped onto the stone steps and entered Hogwarts Castle.
