The Bard at Hogwarts

After leaving the shelter and returning to the dormitory, Ino also opened the bed curtains.

I looked back at the alarm clock, it was 7:50 in the morning.

Unknowingly, he stayed in the Sanctuary Valley for almost an hour, glanced at Draco who was still sleeping, and then walked out of the dormitory.

Between eight and nine in the morning, breakfast is served in the Hogwarts kitchen.

Although he has the power of a quasi-principal, Ino does not intend to exercise his power excessively if necessary without fulfilling his obligations.

Since you are a student, just like a student, you must abide by the rules, so that no matter which story you are in, you will not be bored.

Maybe it's Monday, or maybe there are foreign guests at the castle.

In short, after he arrived at the auditorium at the right time, he took a quick glance and found that many people were already sitting at the four long tables in the college.

…

Slytherin table.

After Ino sat down, a standard breakfast appeared on the table.

The food on the plate is unexpectedly rich.

In addition to French croissants, jam, and honey, there are also delicious breakfast rolls for breakfast, which are made of crust, eggs, bacon, vegetables and other ingredients, and are paired with salad and tomato sauce for a different experience. taste.

Next to the breakfast roll, there is a cut French sandwich. The combination of butter, cheese, fried eggs, lettuce, etc. makes people's index fingers tickle just by looking at it.

Looking at the delicious food, Ino secretly sighed at the face-saving project, then picked up the tableware and started enjoying it by himself.

Time also passed quietly during the quiet meal.

After finishing the last bite of the sandwich, Ino picked up a napkin and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and then felt many eyes looking at him at the same time.

Putting down the napkin in his hand, he raised his head slightly. Not far away, a tall girl was walking towards her.

And those eyes moved simultaneously with the girl's footsteps.

'It's just too disappointing...' Ino sighed helplessly.

He knew the girl opposite him without having to guess. The most beautiful woman in the original story was Beauxbatons school beauty Fleur Delacour.

But what made him feel unsatisfied was the performance of the boys at Hogwarts. Every one of them seemed to have eyes on Fleur.

If you want to say you like it, then be generous and appreciate beautiful things. This is understandable. As a result, everyone looked at them secretly, and the most intuitive ones were the ones on the Gryffindor table. They took a bite of food, took a sneak peek, and then pretended to wipe their mouths.

He thinks he is secretive, but this performance is actually very conspicuous.

The only advantage may be that all the boys in the castle are peeking. In this way, we are on the same starting line and no one is laughing at anyone.

…

On the other side, Fleur's eyes were fixed on the long table opposite. When she noticed that the other person raised his head, she responded with a gentle smile, and then walked forward quickly.

"Good morning! Mr. Swinburne! I'm sorry to interrupt your meal."

Fleur's English is not standard, and she sounds a bit chatty, but with the blessing of charm, everything is a small matter.

"Good morning, miss. But as you can see, I have already finished my breakfast."

Ino replied calmly, and his eyes fell generously on Fleur's face.

She is not as stunning as described in the story, but she is definitely beautiful. Her exquisite figure and waist-length silver hair make her look not only mysterious, but also have a strange sense of charm.

When Ino was looking at Fleur, Fleur was also looking at Ino.

Their eyes met, and Fleur didn't detect any trace of infatuation in the other person's eyes, but only appreciation.

And this appreciation still lingers more on her hair.

This discovery made her a little depressed, but at the same time she remembered her great-grandmother's instructions when she was a child:

‘There is something charming about a man when he is unseducable, unoffensive and untouchable. ’

Time has passed, and Fleur originally thought it was a joke. After all, she has not found a man she cannot seduce in these years.

But today's encounter made her suddenly realize that what her grandmother once said seemed to make sense.

A pair of amber eyes, with no trace of desire in the pupils, clean and bright. And this purity is not like a baby's ignorance. It seems that after gathering all the things in the world, it still chooses that purity.

Seventeen-year-old Furong, who probably had some experience, naturally changed her gaze after looking at each other for a short time. You know, even in open and romantic France, it is not polite to stare at a boy you meet for the first time.

"My name is Fleur, Fleur Delacour." After sitting down, Fleur introduced her name.

"Okay, Miss Delacour!" Ino nodded slightly, then looked across the long table: "Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I'm here to deliver a letter!" Fleur took out an exquisite envelope from her pocket and placed it gently on the table: "Professor Maxim asked me to give this to you!"

"Thank you!" Looking at the envelope on the table, Ino replied politely.

He did not find Ms. Maxim's letter surprising. As the principal of Beauxbatons, he might not be able to see the legendary alchemist at other times.

But now that Nico is busy dealing with the inheritance, the two of them naturally have to deal with each other.

"I leave the letter to you! If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Fleur stood up and said with a slight smile.

She is more curious about the boy in front of her, but she also has her own pride.

Hearing this, Ino also stood up politely to say goodbye: "Okay! Thank you again! Miss Delacour."

For Fleur, he didn't intend to get too involved, not because he was afraid of trouble or thought she was not beautiful, but because of the tradition and conservatism in England.

A 17-year-old very charming adult woman, and she is from open France...

Life is not a fairy tale, and there is probably not so much purity and innocence.

...

As Fleur left, Ino also noticed that the focus of attention around him suddenly shifted.

He laughed in his heart and picked up the letter on the table.

After opening the envelope, he saw standard cursive English, which really made people feel good.

You know, before opening the letter, he even thought of finding a translator who knew French.

The content of the letter was not long. As he read it gradually, he roughly understood Ms. Maxime's intention.

A few minutes later.

"Sure enough..."

Ino put down the letter in his hand. He was finally sure that Nico must have said something.

Otherwise, the headmaster of Beauxbatons would not be so polite and courteous in the whole letter, and even mixed with vague invitations.

Although this invitation is very implicit, the meaning inside is very clear, and it can even be said to be a future employment letter, inviting him to join Beauxbatons and promising that he can directly become a professor of alchemy after graduation.

To be honest, Madam Maxime is full of sincerity, but Hogwarts is one step faster than her.

Although it is a rejection, Ino still plans to find an opportunity to meet this half-blood headmistress, and also copy a copy of the book left by Nico to Beauxbatons, after all, this is what he promised at the beginning.
