Unseal at Hogwarts

When the woman came down the steps and stood in front of the waiting students, looking at them with open eyes, Dumbledore clapped.

The students just woke up from a dream and clapped their hands.

The woman smiled elegantly, stretched out a hand covered with many luxurious gems, and walked towards Dumbledore.

"She looks so tall!" Harry recovered from the shock.

Tom nodded enviously.

If he could grow as high as a woman's elbow, he would be satisfied.

"Perhaps dreaming would be faster." Malfoy sneered, looking Tom up and down mockingly, "Short Cooper."

He probably didn't make a sound just now, right?

Tom was confused and ashamed and angry.

"I can tell what you are thinking by looking at your expression." Malfoy crossed his arms and looked away, "You and Potter are the only two people in Slytherin who understand best. Everything is written on their faces."

Tom subconsciously touched his face.

"Don't listen to Malfoy's nonsense." Harry noticed the situation on Tom's side and glared at Malfoy, "At least I can't tell what you are thinking."

Why does this sound more sad?

Tom decided not to argue with Malfoy and continued to pay attention to the Beauxbatons delegation.

"Dear Mrs. Maxim," Dumbledore said loudly, "welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore." Madam Maxime said in a low voice, "I hope everything is well with you."

"Very good, thank you." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Mrs. Maxim waved her big hand carelessly behind her: "These are my students."

Tom noticed that about a dozen or so students had gotten off the carriage and were standing in the huge shadow cast behind Madame Maxime.

Judging from the appearance of these students, they are all about eighteen or nineteen years old.

They wrapped their heads with turbans or scarves, and all of them were trembling slightly.

Tom couldn't help but stamp his feet again.

It was completely dark and the temperature outside the castle was very low.

The Beauxbatons students only wore exquisite robes made of silk, not even cloaks.

Tom looked at them and felt that he seemed a little cold again.

Dumbledore invited these shivering Beauxbatons delegation into the castle.

"When will Durmstrang's delegation arrive?" Harry crossed his arms and rubbed them.

"I don't know." Tom shook his head, "I hope they can arrive soon. I feel like my hands are starting to freeze."

They began to look at the sky longingly and stopped talking.

Suddenly, in the silence, there was a strange sound.

"Did you hear anything?" Harry asked.

Tom nodded and listened carefully.

A muffled rumbling and sucking sound drifted towards them from the darkness.

"Could it be Durmstrang?"

Tom heard a student ask.

The strange sounds were getting closer and closer, and they quickly found the source.

"Black Lake?"

"Did Durmstrang come from the Black Lake?"

…

"Wow"

In the dark lake water, huge water splashed, and the surging waves lapped the lawn on the lakeshore.

A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, and a thick mast emerged from the water.

"Wow!" The students exclaimed uncontrollably, and at the same time they all took a few steps back.

This is quite sensible.

When a huge, majestic ship completely emerged from the water, the splashing water spread down from the lawn.

On the big ship, a boy wearing a heavy fur cloak dropped the anchor and set up the planks.

The people on the boat filed off, led by a man wearing a silver-white fur cloak.

"Dumbledore!" the man shouted enthusiastically, "my dear old fellow, how are you?"

"Excellent," Dumbledore smiled and walked through a passage that the students made way for. "Thank you, Professor Karkaroff."

As they talked, they walked towards the castle

On the way, Karkaroff asked one of his students to come forward, which caused a commotion among the students at Hogwarts.

"Look!" Harry pulled Tom's cloak hard. Seeing that Tom was just pulling the cloak in, he simply poked Tom's arm, "Look! Krum!"

Only then did Tom look away from Karkaroff, and asked with some confusion: "Who?"

"Krum!" Harry couldn't hide his excitement. His body stopped shaking instantly, his hands stopped freezing, and his eyes seemed to be shining with stars.

Tom looked around and found that almost everyone behaved the same way as Harry. Even the Slytherins, who had always been reserved and calm, were excited.

"So, who is Krum?" Tom looked confused, "He is famous?"

Based on the students' behavior, it seems to be no different from how Muggles meet celebrities.

"This is Krum!" Harry looked in disbelief, "The Seeker of the Bulgarian Quidditch team!"

"So that's it." Tom nodded calmly and followed the crowd towards the castle.

Harry was stunned and quickly followed.

The students at Hogwarts sat down at their long tables, touching their cloaks and digging into their pockets, as if they were looking for something.

The Beauxbatons students stopped at the entrance to the hall for a short while and chose to sit down at the Ravenclaw table.

But the students at Hogwarts were still restless, twisting their necks and looking longingly at the Durmstrang students who were still in the entrance hall - to be precise, they were all looking at Viktor.

·Krum.

Malfoy whispered to the Slytherins to move their positions, but within a short time, there was enough space on the Slytherin table.

The Durmstrang students, led by Viktor Krum, sat down at the Slytherin table.

There was a sigh of regret in the auditorium.

Krum, who was in the spotlight, was sitting between Malfoy and Harry.

Tom watched helplessly as Harry, who was originally quite a normal person, trembled all over as if he was suffering from epilepsy after Krum sat down.

As a "newcomer" in the magical world, Tom didn't understand Krum's image in the eyes of the young wizard at all.

He nudged Harry calmly with his elbow to signal him to calm down.

"Good evening!" Dumbledore said with a smile on the staff table, "Ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and our distinguished guests——"

The students listened carefully to Dumbledore's welcome speech.

"The Triwizard Tournament will officially begin after the banquet," Dumbledore said. "Now, please enjoy eating and drinking as you would at home."

Warm cheers erupted in the auditorium.

Now, in addition to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the students were able to talk about the Triwizard Tournament, which was different from the previous dinners.
