Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

After the cleaning of all the teachers and students in the school, Hogwarts Castle has a new look inside and out.

Some of the original dirty portraits were all washed clean, and the armor in the corridor was wiped so that it could be used as a mirror.

In the anticipation of the students, October 30 has arrived.

When the students went downstairs for breakfast that morning, they found that the cafeteria had been renovated overnight.

Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor on red with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on blue with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on yellow. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is Slytherin.

Behind the teacher's desk hangs the largest banner with the Hogwarts crest: lion, eagle, badger, snake joined together, surrounded by a large letter h.

Throughout the day, there was a joyful mood of anticipation in the air.

In the classroom, no one was paying attention to the lectures. Everyone thought that the people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

After Zhang Xu arranged the homework for today's Muggle Studies class, the bell rang for the end of get out of class half an hour earlier.

When the bell rang, the students rushed back to the dormitory, put down their schoolbags and books as ordered, put on their cloaks, and rushed down the stairs in three steps at a time to the gate of the castle.

The deans of each college are organizing students from their own colleges to line up.

The line of students started from the Basilisk Fountain and went all the way to the gate of the castle.

It was a clear, cold, crisp evening, night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that the students were all lined up, Zhang Xu cast his eyes on Dumbledore beside him. After Dumbledore nodded to Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu raised his wand in his hand.

The next moment, a half-meter-high water column spewed out from the basilisk fountain.

Amidst the exclamation of the students, Zhang Xu waved his wand again, and saw Hogwarts Castle instantly shrouded in golden lights.

Against the background of the lights, the entire Hogwarts castle looks gorgeous and heavy.

Next, the four ice and snow castles near the lake also lit up the colors of their respective colleges.

On the contrary, the ice and snow garden on the side is still dark.

Just as the students were discussing excitedly, the sky began to darken.

Under the night, the light from the brightly lit castle reflected on the excited faces of the students.

Wizards can't help showing off when they get together, and the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts are no exception.

From the very beginning, Dumbledore handed over the work of receiving (xuan) and waiting (yao) to Zhang Xu, who always had whimsical ideas.

After some thinking, Zhang Xu formulated a series of invisible dazzling (zhuang) and dazzling (bi) plans that spanned the entire season of the Triwizard Tournament, and finally got the approval of Dumbledore and other professors.

Just then, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with the other professors, yelled, "Ah! If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbaton's representatives have arrived!"

Soon, everyone discovered a huge powder-blue carriage pulled by twelve golden-haired and silver-maned horses with wings in the night sky.

At this moment, a wide and long blue-white light band lit up on the grass outside the castle.

With a loud noise and a tremor, the huge carriage landed in the light belt like an airplane landing on the runway.

As soon as the carriage landed, the light band on the ground shrank into a circle of light two or three meters wider than the carriage, and the light became softer.

When Mrs. Maxim stepped down from the golden spiral staircase of the carriage, Zhang Xu, who was in charge of controlling the landing field, went up to meet her.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Madam Maxime." Zhang Xu bowed slightly to Madam Maxime and said, "Professor Dumbledore has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang." Mrs. Maxim shook hands with Zhang Xu, "Please lead the way."

After Zhang Xu smiled at Fu Rong, Tonya, and Gabriel who kept waving at him as soon as they got off the carriage, he led Mrs. Maxim and Beauxbaton's representatives towards Huo The gate of the castle of Gwarz.

Mrs. Maxim saw Zhang Xu's small movements, smiled and said nothing.

When Zhang Xu stepped out of the light circle around the carriage, a footprint emitting a soft blue-white light appeared under his feet.

Soon, this footprint expanded into a two-meter-wide light path.

As Zhang Xu led Beauxbaton's people forward, the path of light under his feet also extended from the carriage to the front of the Basilisk Fountain.

When Zhang Xu led Mrs. Maxim and the student representatives onto the small bridge in the middle of the Basilisk Fountain, the fountain that was just spouting water suddenly seemed to be boiling.

The water column in the fountain was fully powered at once. Under the action of the red light in the pool, the basilisk specimen and the statues of the four students in the fountain seemed to be surrounded by blood and flames.

A dim green light appeared on the body of the basilisk specimen, and it looked very hideous against the fountain water column emitting red light around it. The water column of green light exuded from the basilisk's mouth, like the Avada Kedavra, sprayed towards the student statue on the opposite side of the small bridge.

From the top of the magic wand of the student statue on the other side of the small bridge, jets of water emitting golden rays shot out at the basilisk.

The sudden change caused the students of Beauxbatons to exclaim incessantly, and many of them pointed at the basilisk specimen.

Zhang Xu also heard Gabriel's voice "It's delicious" behind him.

Zhang Xu looked at Mrs. Maxim, and saw that she was also looking at the basilisk specimen in surprise.

Then, Zhang Xu brought Beauxbaton's people to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was clearly pleased with the response of Beauxbatons' guests.

While Dumbledore was exchanging greetings with Madame Maxime, Zhang Xu came to the lake and waited for the representative of Durmstrang College.

Just as Zhang Xu finished drinking the hot cocoa in the thermos with the cold wind blowing by the lake, and was considering whether to roast a few skewers of fat beef to pad his stomach, there was a rumbling sound and the sound of water sucking in the lake.

Immediately afterwards, a sailboat that looked like a ghost ship floated up from the bottom of the lake, and then came towards the light signal issued by Zhang Xu.

The place where Zhang Xu is located is a hydrophilic platform that protrudes several meters into the lake in the middle of the Ice and Snow Waterfront Garden.

When Durmstrang's boat stopped beside the platform and dropped the anchor, a three-meter-wide ice ladder grew on the hydrophilic platform made of ice, extending to the side of the ship, not far from the side of the ship. to a distance of one centimeter. This ice ladder also exudes a soft blue-white light.

On the side of the ship, a Durmstrang student who was holding a plank and preparing to build a bridge looked confused.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a silver-white fur cloak led Durmstrang's student representatives aboard.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor Karkaroff. I am Zhang Xu." Zhang Xu also bowed slightly to Karkaroff and said, "Professor Dumbledore has been waiting for a long time, please follow me Come."

Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim are different. Mrs. Maxim and Zhang Xu are acquaintances, while Karkaroff and Zhang Xu are strangers. At most, they have only heard each other's name.

So Karkaroff just nodded to Zhang Xu, and walked towards Hogwarts Castle under Zhang Xu's leadership.

Unlike when he showed Beauxbaton's representative the way just now, when Zhang Xu led Durmstrang's representatives through the ice and snow garden that was originally dark and blind, the entire garden centered on Zhang Xu, and a ray of light turned towards the garden. Spread around.

The students of Durmstrang, who were walking in the middle of the garden, looked in amazement at the white radiant road on the ground and the various flowers, plants and trees made of ice and snow flowing around them with streamers of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Amazed again and again.

When Zhang Xu led Durmstrang's representatives through the Basilisk Fountain, they screamed even more. Having studied black magic systematically, they naturally know what such a long and thick basilisk represents better than Beauxbaton's students.

Dumbledore nodded to Zhang Xu with satisfaction.

The thousand-year-old basilisk is not a big-budget product the size of a washing machine drain pipe in Zhang Xu's farm. This kind of powerful and rare magical animal can be encountered but not sought after.

The students of Hogwarts killed such a piece and placed it in the castle, which can be described as full of force.

When Zhang Xu brought Durmstrang's representatives to Dumbledore, he found that Beauxbaton's men were still standing in front of the castle gate.

After Zhang Xu stepped back, he stood behind Dumbledore.

After exchanging pleasantries, it was time for the principals to post about their students, just like a group of parents posting about their babies.

Karkaroff played the card of Viktor Krum, the Seeker who shined in the Quidditch World Cup, and then Dumbledore pulled out Harry Potter, the famous European savior. tie.

Mrs. Maxim, who was standing aside, felt heartbroken. Her school did not have such a prestigious international student.

Originally, she could call Fleur to embarrass the two little boys, Harry Potter and Viktor Krum, but the big cabbage at home was slapped by a Hogwarts pig.

People are more popular than people.

At this time, Zhang Xu, who was standing behind Dumbledore as a professor, suddenly discovered the New World. He saw Krum's eyes constantly glancing at Beauxbaton's students.

Zhang Xu followed Krum's gaze and found that the person Krum kept glancing at was Dongia standing beside Furong.

Zhang Xu, who had discovered the New World, reminded Furong and Dongnia with his eyes at the same time, making them notice Krum.

Tonya, who received the signal, glanced at Krum, who turned his head blushing.

Then Dong Niya glared at Zhang Xu and Fu Rong, who had a smirk on their faces, and couldn't do anything about them as a couple for a while.
