The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Tom saw that the body under the white bottoming shirt was shaking slightly. It was obvious that the girl in front of her was also filled with excitement.

Hermione tucked the hem of her bottoming shirt inside her light blue jeans. If ordinary people were to dress like this, it would look very unconventional, but on Hermione, it just highlighted her long legs.

Perhaps to keep warm or to protect herself from the sun, Hermione today also covered her upper body with a small light gray shawl - Hermione said it was sun protection clothing. Tom lifted up the coat and placed the magic silver wings he had made before on Hermione's back.

The next moment, the small silver ball in the middle of the wings "melted".

Like a liquid, it seeped into Hermione's clothes, connecting her to her wings.

Hermione frowned and suddenly felt a chill on her back.

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help but ask.

"I gave you a pair of wings."

"Wings?" Hermione didn't understand what Tom meant for a moment.

"Now you can fly." Tom's words became even more puzzling.

"How can this be--"

Hermione's next words were stuck in her throat, because she was very shocked to find that her feet had left the ground!

She was now floating a few inches above the ground!

The pair of wings behind Hermione had been fully extended and were flapping slowly. However, this frequency of flapping was actually not enough to lift Hermione off the ground. The floating spell on the wings was still at work.

"Oh my God...wait, oops!" When Hermione realized that she was floating in mid-air, she suddenly lost control of her body shape.

She was in a hurry, as if she were drowning. But just as the feeling of weightlessness became more intense, a pair of steady and strong palms supported her armpits, helping her maintain her balance.

Hermione, who had successfully regained her balance, no longer panicked. But when she came back to her senses, she had the extra energy to feel the strange feeling under her armpits: numb and itchy, as if an electric current had passed through her body.

"You...let me go first!"

"good……"

"Hey! Help me!"

Sure enough, after Tom let go, Hermione flew into the sky uncontrollably. In panic, she could only hold on to Tom's hand tightly, like a person who can't swim clinging to a swimming ring.

"Calm down and take a deep breath first. The buoyancy of the wings is very weak and will only allow you to float a few feet in the air at most." Tom comforted Hermione softly.

The wings made by Tom were very humane. He knew very well that Hermione's talent in flying was as high as her talent in divination, so the levitation charm on the wings was limited to only a few feet off the ground. It can only continue to rise after receiving the next instruction.

After hearing that it would only float a few feet, Hermione felt more at ease. She slowly let go of Tom's hand and spread her arms, trying to control her balance as if she were on roller skates.

Finally, after a few minutes of hard work, Hermione adapted to this state of floating in mid-air. This was an extremely novel experience for her.

"Okay, now that you can float smoothly, I'm going to tell you how to control these magic silver wings." After Hermione initially mastered the floating skills, Tom began to teach her how to control the magic silver wings. .

Tom has simplified the control method of this pair of wings to the extreme, allowing the operator to directly control the wings without the need for other media. If the controller wants to move forward, the wings will fly forward; if the controller wants to move upward, the wings will take people into the air.

The control method was not complicated, and it only took Hermione a short while to learn it.

A gust of breeze blew by, and Hermione whizzed past Tom, leaving a faint fragrance behind. After understanding how the magic silver wings worked, Hermione fell in love with flying.

Like a butterfly, she danced on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and finally made a 180-degree turn and stopped in front of Tom.

"Thank you, Tom!" After landing, Hermione hugged Tom, and the wings on her back folded, wrapping the two of them together.

Hermione finally felt what it was like to fly. In the past, she had never flown independently because she was not good at using a broomstick, but Tom finally fulfilled her dream.

"As long as you like it." Looking at the girl in his arms, Tom smiled happily.

Hermione likes it, then all the hard work these days has been in vain.

Hermione, who was in Tom's arms, her eyes flickering, realized a problem: she seemed to have never asked Tom's birthday.

…

Students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons gradually integrated into the campus life of Hogwarts. Although they are in the same school, students from the other two magic schools do not attend classes with the students at Hogwarts. Most of the time, they stayed in carriages and sailing ships, and only entered Hogwarts Castle for meals.

Such days lasted for a month and a half. During this month and a half, ordinary little wizards were studying and gossiping about the Triwizard Tournament. Extraordinary little wizards like Fred and George started a business and enjoyed great success selling blind boxes. As for the top leaders of the three magic schools, they are working hard to collect intelligence and strive to give their warriors an advantage.

Professor Sprout of Hufflepuff often walked around the school with Cedric the Warrior of Hogwarts. During the walk, he "encountered" Charlie Weasley and his companions who came from Romania. them.

The relationship between Beauxbatons' Madame Maxime and Hagrid quickly heated up, and she knew all the information Hagrid knew.

Professor Karkaroff in Durmstrang had no movement...

As Halloween approaches, the school is filled with excitement: On Halloween, the first event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!

However, before the first project, there was another activity that ignited everyone's emotions.

"Halloween party?" Tom looked at the message on the bulletin board in shock.

"Yes, in order to promote the integration of students from the three schools, Professor Dumbledore specially prepared a grand singing and dancing party on Halloween - it is said that he also invited the famous undead band in the wizarding world to perform, and also allowed the students to wear their own clothes. !" Hermione excitedly explained to Tom that she had a very bold idea about Halloween costumes!

Tom sighed: I have to buy clothes again...

On the morning of Halloween, the entire Hogwarts was decorated in a Halloween style, with live bats and small dark clouds everywhere in the castle. In order to cater to Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, this year's decoration also brought a lot of exotic touches. There are many tattered black gauze hanging in the corridors and auditorium, and there are skull and crossbones flags and scimitars everywhere. There are more oak barrels in the corners of each room. You can smell the strong smell of alcohol when you get close. This is in keeping with Durmstrang's pirate style.

As for the Beauxbatons-style decoration, Tom didn't notice it - maybe the guillotine on the dining table is a Beauxbatons feature? It is still magical to watch the executioner press a gorgeously dressed little man on the guillotine and behead him over and over again.

When night fell, the little wizards came outside the auditorium one after another. At least half of the little wizards took off their school robes and put on Halloween costumes. At this time, the door of the auditorium was closed, and the students who arrived early could only wander outside.

When the last ray of the sun disappeared from the horizon, the door of the auditorium opened with a creak.

A burst of melodious music floated out from the auditorium, and at the same time there was a rough male chorus:

[It’s so hard to say goodbye, but I’ll see my lover someday. Let’s weigh the anchor! All sails forward, Santiaro!

The tears are as deep and salty as the sea, and my sailor's heart is as hot as fire——

As long as the ocean and wind are still there, hoist the sails! All sails forward, Santiaro! 】

The original faculty bench disappeared and was replaced by a vast curved stage, on which a dozen skeletons dressed as pirates were singing loudly. When they are singing to their heart's content, they will pick up the wine bottle next to them and drink the liquid inside. The red wine gushes out from their skeletons and spills on the ground, splashing with the aroma of wine.

They were singing the legendary pirate song Santiaro.

The auditorium has been completely remodeled, giving everyone the illusion of being in a ship's cabin. The long tables in the college were moved to both sides of the auditorium, and they were piled with rugged food. The space in the middle of the auditorium is freed up, allowing students to enjoy the carnival inside.

"Ha, pirate style!" The little wizards rushed into the auditorium in surprise and swayed to the beat of the music.

"Yodele, cool!" When Tom walked into the auditorium, many people whistled at him. Today, Tom is dressed like a pirate captain - he even has a monkey doll with teeth and claws hanging on his shoulder!

Tom laughed at the compliments. He looked around, a little confused, because he didn't see Hermione.

However, you don’t have to find Hermione yourself, you can also let Hermione find you!

Seeing that the atmosphere was heightened by the orchestra invited by Dumbledore, Tom ran onto the stage in three steps and two steps in a row, took a guitar from the hands of the somewhat confused singer, and started playing and singing:

【There was once a ship out to sea

The name of this ship is "Teapot"

As the wind blew, she set sail

Blow, blow hard

It won't be long before the "Teapot" is coming

Bring us sugar, tea and rum

When the captured whale is processed

Let's go and start again! 】

The song "The Whaler's Song" successfully ignited the atmosphere of the party. Everyone sang along with Tom's song and beat time with their hands. Later, Tom's singing was even drowned in the harmony of the crowd.

While everyone was singing happily, Tom was looking for Hermione. When his eyes moved to the door of the auditorium, his eyes suddenly stagnated, and a stunningly beautiful figure came into his eyes.

It was Hermione, Hermione dressed up.

Updates resumed! Second update in the evening!
