"Welcome to Norway, I am Gaolan Bolsen, the host of Durmstrang."

Lockhart looked carefully and saw the man opposite him wearing a thick white wizard robe and holding a pair of black leather gloves in his hands.

However, after hearing what the other party said, Lockhart replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I am Jide Lockhart."

"Mr. Poulsen, when are you leaving?"

He was now becoming more and more curious about Durmstrang.

This is a school that allows and even encourages students to practice the Dark Arts.

"Professor Lockhart, you..." Paulson looked at Lockhart, who was wearing a thin wizard robe, and said hesitantly, "It's very cold outside, would you like to wear some thicker clothes?"

"No need." Lockhart smiled, stretched out his hand and took out a jade pendant from the surface of his neck, and introduced: "I have refined a constant temperature magic item before, the heat preservation effect is pretty good, don't worry"

Following here, Paulson nodded with relief.

Then he waved to Lockhart and walked outside.

As he walked, he said, "Professor Lockhart, Headmaster Karkaroff, a welcome banquet has been prepared for you."

"Thank you for coming to Durmstrang this time to teach students the latest magical knowledge - Runes."

“…”

Lockhart followed behind, listening silently.

Soon the two walked out of the Ministry of Magic and looked at the city with snowflakes falling. Lockhart looked at it with interest.

It's snowing. Haven't seen it for a while.

"Professor Lockhart, hold on to me!" Paulson reminded Lockhart without paying attention to the surrounding environment.

In response, Lockhart nodded slightly to show that he understood, walked forward and grabbed Paulson's sleeve.

Then....

"Apparate!"

In an instant, the space changed.

Lockhart felt as if something was hooked in his stomach and eyes, and his whole body seemed to be stuffed into a pipe, and he felt sick inside.

However, his physique is much stronger than that of ordinary wizards, so he quickly adapted to this feeling.

When he looked closely, he found himself at the entrance of a big gate.

Above the door was written - Durmstrang.

At the same time, a middle-aged wizard in a white wizard robe stretched out his hand to shake Lockhart's hand and welcomed him:

"Hello, Professor Lockhart, my name is Igor Karkaroff."

"Welcome to Durmstrang!"

Chapter 298: Runes will surely make wizards great again!

Durmstrang.

The cold air was carried by the strong wind and, after a series of strange changes, turned into snowflakes that fell on the ground.

Unlike Hogwarts, Durmstrang is located at the northernmost tip of Europe. The weather is relatively cold all year round, and it is covered with ice and snow as winter approaches.

Lockhart stood in front of the gate of Durmstrang, looking at Karkaroff, who was smiling and extending his hand to shake hands, and the two wizards behind him.

Without hesitation, he reached out and shook her hand, while saying with a gentle smile, "It's a pleasure to be here at Durmstrang, Headmaster Karkaroff."

Seeing Lockhart's attitude, Karkaroff immediately replied: "Professor Lockhart, I have heard of your name for a long time. You are the founder of meditation. Even in the northernmost part of Europe, I have heard of your fame."

"Welcome to Durmstrang."

Then, as if jokingly, he said, "Professor Lockhart, I have already talked about your lecture with my students, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Haha, really?" Lockhart also replied with a smile: "Then I have to explain it carefully and try to make sure they all gain something."

Then Karkaroff pointed to the two wizards, a man and a woman, beside him and introduced them, "Professor Lockhart, this is our Transfiguration professor, Terra Eggram, and our professor of Ancient Runes, Laurent Davidson."

"Tyra will be in charge of your school-related matters these days. If you have any questions, you can contact him directly."

"And Professor Laurent, I was very excited when I heard you were coming. I believe you will have more in common when it comes to runes."

After hearing the introduction of their principal, the two wizards hurried forward to greet him.

"Welcome Professor Lockhart to Durmstrang. If you have any questions, just come to me. My office is on the second floor." Terra said in a serious voice.

Well, as expected of a Transfiguration teacher, he is on par with Professor McGonagall.

Thinking about this, Lockhart smiled and said, "Okay, Professor Terra, if you have any questions later, I won't be polite."

"Professor Lockhart, I have a lot of new ideas about the runes you discovered. I hope to communicate with you when I have time." Professor Laurent said excitedly.

"Of course, no problem, Professor Laurent. Take a look at my teaching schedule for young wizards first, and then we can arrange a suitable time." Lockhart said directly: "It just so happens that I also have some doubts about ancient runes. We will have to talk more about it then."

"Really? That's great." Laurent welcomed Professor Lockhart's reply.

Just as he was about to say something, Karkaroff interrupted him and said, "Well, Professor Lockhart, let's visit Durmstrang first. We have prepared a welcome banquet tonight to welcome you."

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Afterwards, he and Karkaroff entered Durmstrang.

As soon as I entered Durmstrang, I saw an ancient castle in the distance.

A quick glance revealed that it was four stories high. Although not as big as Hogwarts, Lockhart also found that Durmstrang's venue was more spacious.

Snow-white grasslands, crystal lakes, frozen mountains, and all kinds of scenes are present, creating a beautiful picture of ice and snow.

Although it is winter, there are still a lot of little wizards playing around on the frozen lake, making it very lively.

"Professor Lockhart, this Lake Nerida is named after the school's founder, Nerida Vulcanova. Usually, the little wizards..."

"..."

Karkaroff introduced as he walked.

Soon, Lockhart followed Karkaroff into the second floor of the castle.

"Professor Lockhart, this is where you will rest for the next few days. Take a look at it."

Lockhart followed Karkaroff into a room on the second floor. Looking at the quiet environment in the room, he nodded slightly to indicate that there was no problem.

"Okay, then Professor Lockhart, you take a rest first. I'll send someone to pick you up in the evening for the dinner."

In response, Lockhart expressed his thanks and the group left, as if to give Lockhart time to rest.

After watching everyone leave, Lockhart sat at the desk in the room and fell into thought.

Karkaroff's enthusiasm somewhat exceeded Lockhart's expectations.

After all, the other party is the principal of Durmster School. Even if he is now quite famous in the wizarding world, he shouldn't do this.

Showing your courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Lockhart thought silently to himself, and then became alert.

.............

Durmstrang Great Hall.

Like Hogwarts, Durmstrang's Great Hall is usually used as a dining hall for young wizards, and banquets are also held in the Great Hall.

For example, the opening party and welcome banquet.

The auditorium seemed quite solemn tonight, with a large number of crystal balls emitting soft light hanging in the sky.

On the ceiling are sketched a double-headed eagle, a deer's head, and some Cyrillic letters.

It was the Durmstrang school emblem.

The little wizards below were also whispering, as if they were guessing something.

A few days ago, word spread in the school that Professor Lockhart from Hogwarts would soon come to Durmstrang.

This made the young wizards who were originally unfamiliar with Lockhart gradually find out more about him.

Titles such as famous writer, founder of meditation, discoverer of rune graphics, etc. all began to circulate throughout the school.

The little wizards are looking forward to it.

But what was surprising was that the discussion of these little wizards was not loud and they were all intentionally controlling their volume.

This is of course closely related to Durmstrang's strict education.

As time passed, the school principal and professors sat in their seats one after another.

Of course, they also frequently turned their attention to a blond figure sitting in the professor's seat.

They all knew the other professors, and the newcomer, if he was not mistaken, should be Professor Lockhart from Hogwarts.

cough! cough!

Karkaroff, standing on the podium in the auditorium, coughed lightly a few times, and the entire auditorium gradually quieted down. All the young wizards turned their eyes to their headmaster.

"Dear little wizards, Durmstrang is one of the three major magic schools in Europe and attaches great importance to the training of students."

"We are committed to making every wizard who comes out of Durmstrang become an elite in wizard society."

The young wizards below, especially those who had just entered school, had bright eyes when they heard this, as if they were attracted by the picture of the future described by Karkaroff.

Durmstrang is the preferred school for many pure-blood families, not only because they refuse to admit Muggle wizards.

It is also because their educational style is more rigorous. They have always been famous for training elite wizards. Even the taboo black magic has special professors to teach it.

Looking at the expressions of the little wizards, Karkaroff said solemnly.

"As a wizard elite, we must not only master the skill of spellcasting, but also keep abreast of the latest knowledge in the wizarding world."

"So, I specially invited Professor Lockhart from Hogwarts."

"I believe you have all heard of Professor Lockhart, but I still need to give you a brief introduction."

Having said that, Karkaroff paused, looked at Lockhart who was sitting below and nodded slightly, then continued.

"The meditation method pioneered by Professor Lockhart is known as a miracle in the wizarding world, and the source of the miracle comes from his discovery of runes."

"I believe that runes will have a place in the future wizarding world."

"So, as future wizard elites, I hope you can learn more about runes."

"This is also the main reason why I invited Professor Lockhart to give the lecture. I hope you can gain something during this time."

Hearing this, the little wizards in the audience applauded, and enthusiastic applause rang out throughout the auditorium.

Soon, as Karkaroff stretched out his hand and pressed down, all the little wizards quickly quieted down.

Seeing this, Karkaroff showed a satisfied smile, but kept his tone serious and said: "Next, I will not waste your time. The rest of the time will be handed over to Professor Lockhart."

As he spoke, he gestured to Lockhart and walked aside.

Seeing this, Lockhart immediately understood, walked up to the platform, looked at the little wizards watching below, and said gently: "Dear little wizards, I am Gilderoy Lockhart, you can call me Professor Lockhart."

"In the next few days, I will explain the runes to you."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, the young wizards below applauded.

But soon, as the applause gradually died down, Lockhart continued jokingly: "This is my first time at Durmstrang. He left a very deep impression on me."

"However, I think the protagonist of today's banquet should not be me, but everyone. To be more precise, everyone's stomach."

"You said that, right?"

Hearing this, the little wizards below all laughed. They felt that this professor was very interesting and not as serious as their previous professors.

When Lockhart saw everyone laughing, he also showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "So, in order not to offend the protagonist of today's banquet."

"We won't talk about the long story today, but will share it with you slowly later."

"What do you think? Is this good?"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Hearing this, the little wizards applauded one after another, and from time to time there was a sound of "good" mixed in with the applause.

Although they were somewhat curious about Lockhart, they were more looking forward to their dinner.
