Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

With the idea of ​​asking Dudley if they didn't know, Harry and the others found Dudley.

As expected, I got the answer from Dudley - the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year.

"The Triwizard Tournament, it is indeed the Triwizard Tournament." Hermione looked panicked when she heard this. In fact, she had this guess vaguely.

Harry and the others were not quite sure what the Triwizard Tournament was, so they asked her about it.

The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe and is held every five years.

Well, it is called a friendly competition, but in fact, the content is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, people may die. The last Triwizard Tournament was terminated because of the excessive number of deaths.

Normally, at dinner time, everyone should have been sitting in the restaurant enjoying the exquisite and delicious food, but today the professors personally led them outside the castle and arranged them into several columns according to grade.

The autumn wind was howling, and the little wizards of Hogwarts were shivering in the cold wind. As night fell, a white, translucent moon was hanging over the Forbidden Forest, and the stars filled the entire sky, looking very beautiful.

Many of the little wizards from wizard families have already heard the news from their families, but those born in ordinary families are still kept in the dark.

"You know, I was supposed to study at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Draco said to Crabbe and Goyle standing beside him, "This is a good opportunity to see their abilities. Are they as interesting as the rumors say?"

Durmstrang attaches great importance to the education of dark magic, and students are not prohibited from studying dark magic.

It is not forbidden, but it is just not so forbidden.

After all, last century Durmstrang expelled a student for studying the Dark Arts.

"I'm actually very curious about Beauxbatons School of Magic. I heard that school is full of handsome men and beautiful women."

Pansy leaned against her best friend Daphne with her arms folded.

Beauxbatons is located in a valley in France where it is spring all year round. It is said that the environment is very beautiful and is not inferior to Hogwarts. Durmstrang is located in the north and it is cold, so the young wizards who go to school there are generally rough, both in character and appearance.

"Hmm." Draco cleared his throat to express his dissatisfaction: "We have the most handsome guys in Hogwarts."

The look on his face was just like he was pointing at himself and saying, "The handsome guy is here."

Pansy glanced at him sideways, rolled her eyes and spread her hands.

Pansy's best friend Daphne protested at this time: "It is absolutely impossible to be as handsome as Mr. Dursley, and not as pretty as Miss Granger."

Her words were echoed by the Slytherin wizards around her.

"Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger are the best."

No one noticed that Astoria Greengrass, who was hiding behind her sister, glanced at Draco shyly.

Ravenclaw

"Miss Madison, the weather is a bit chilly, put on some clothes."

A young wizard said to Madison in a flattering tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, dissatisfied voices were heard all around.

"Use mine."

"No, use mine."

As the protagonist, Madison, who was surrounded by countless little wizards, seemed not to see it and looked at the sky with disdain: "Humph, there is an annoying guy coming over."

Almost at the same time, Dudley raised his head.

"coming."

I saw a huge creature flying rapidly across the deep blue sky towards Hogwarts Castle.

A flying house?

The little wizards exclaimed in surprise.

As the distance got closer, everyone could see the appearance of the thing clearly.

It was not a house. To be precise, it was a carriage as big as a house. It was pulled into the air by twelve winged horses. They were all silver-maned horses, and each horse was about the size of an elephant.

A true Pegasus.

They have golden bodies, silver manes and big eyes like flaming gems.

Very handsome.

'Perhaps the horses can pull themselves?'

Dudley's eyes flickered as he looked at the tall Pegasus.

Pegasus may be one of the few rare magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

The carriage slowly landed on the ground, and the little wizards around it immediately made room for it, then it landed on the ground along a golden spiral staircase.

A shiny black high-heeled shoe protruded from the carriage.

Next, the little wizards saw the most shocking scene in history: a huge woman walked down from the carriage.

How big is it?

'This woman is older than Dudley!'

Harry's eyes nearly popped out of his head, he had never seen such a tall woman before, and if he had to search for a comparison object in his memory, perhaps only Hagrid could be compared to her.

No, maybe even Hagrid is half a head shorter.

Dumbledore walked forward and warmly welcomed the 'giant woman'. With his height of over 1.8 meters, he looked like a child in front of her.

But at least it's over someone else's knee.

This female giant is the headmaster of Beauxbatons - Ms. Maxime.

Following Madam Maxime out of the carriage were dozens of Beauxbatons students, both male and female, all of whom were about seventeen or eighteen years old, which would make them sixth or seventh graders at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Dumbledore, is Karkaroff here?"

"He'll be here later."

"Hopefully it won't be too late. He's already late."

Madam Maxime frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Durmstrang's lateness. She arrived on time, so if anyone was later than her, he could be considered late.

Beauxbatons is not a girls' school, and Durmstrang is not a boys' school.

Like Hogwarts, they are co-educational schools.

Chapter 267 I Know You, World Champion Harry Potter

After the two headmasters exchanged a few words, Professor McGonagall led the teachers and students of Beauxbatons into the castle.

A long time passed and there was still no movement.

The little wizards looked up at the sky eagerly. For a moment, there was silence all around and there was nothing in the sky.

As time went by, the temperature gradually dropped, and many little wizards were already shivering in the cold wind.

Suddenly, a curtain of light descended from the sky and shone on the little wizards. They were suddenly surprised to find that it had become much warmer.

"Professor Dumbledore, I think the students should be allowed into the castle to warm up."

"It's not good to get frozen in this kind of weather."

As Dudley put his wand away, he also separated from the group and walked in two or three steps to Dumbledore.

"Durmstrang is late, and for a long time. There is no need to let the students suffer here. They were the ones who were impolite first."

Although he could keep casting this warming spell, he didn't want to pay for it for Durmstrang.

Being late is a very bad thing no matter where you are.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and agreed: "Pomona, please take the students in first."

'Mr. Dursley is still so gentle.'

Dudley's actions just now undoubtedly won everyone's favor once again.

If there was a favorability system, then numbers like +1+1 would be constantly flashing in front of his eyes.

The students entered the castle one after another, and only Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick and a few other students, led by Dudley, were left on the lawn outside the castle.

Well, only the class leaders and the discipline team stayed.

After a while, a strange sound floated in the darkness. It seemed to be a suppressed rumbling sound intertwined with a sucking sound, a bit like... a vacuum cleaner?!

This sound didn't come from heaven.

Lake. The sound comes from the Black Lake

Durmstrang did not take the empty road, but chose the water route.

The calm dark water surface was no longer calm. There was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake. Huge splashes appeared on the surface of the water, and the waves hit the wet shore. In the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared.

A black mast slowly rose from the bottom of the whirlpool.

"This appearance is a bit like the vortex in Heroes of Might and Magic III."

“The principle should be different.”

Dudley looked at the gradually rising mast and thought that the whirlpool in Heroes of Might and Magic III had a certain chance of causing the loss of crew members on the ship.

In other words, the big octopus under the Black Lake has a good temper, while the one with a bad temper will be torn apart directly.

There is a giant octopus living in the Black Lake at Hogwarts. No one knows how many years it has lived. It is rumored that it is Godric Gryffindor's incarnation.

Soon, a very majestic ship slowly emerged from the water, shining in the moonlight.

As the anchor was thrown into the shallow water, the huge cabin door slowly opened.

Big guys wearing special fur cloaks that rivaled Goyle and Crabbe walked out one by one.

"Dumbledore!" the first man called to him warmly as he walked up the ramp. "My dear old fellow, how are you?"

"Very good, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore's answer was very calm.

Igor Karkaroff, headmaster of Durmstrang.

When Karkaroff found that there were only a few people around to receive them besides Dumbledore, the smile on his face began to become stiff, and he immediately looked unhappy, as if he had put on another face. Fortunately, because of Dumbledore's face, he did not get angry immediately.

What? You said he was late first.

Sorry, Karkaroff doesn't care about this. His original plan was to be late on purpose to give Hogwarts a warning.

Although his attitude towards Dumbledore took a 180-degree turn, he didn't say anything more.

This made Dudley look regretful. He had originally wanted to find an excuse to let the other party know the importance of being punctual.

"I haven't been here for a long time. It's great that Hogwarts is still as magnificent as before." Karkaroff looked up at the castle. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Viktor, come here and warm yourself up. Do you mind, Dumbledore? Viktor has a bit of a cold."

Karkaroff called a student behind him to come forward and brought him in front of Dumbledore.

Viktor Krum was easily identifiable by his crew cut, striking hooked nose and thick black eyebrows. He was Durmstrang's star student and Seeker for the Bulgarian national Quidditch team.

Karkaroff's intention was very clear, which was to show off his outstanding student in front of Dumbledore.

Look, my student is the star Seeker at the Quidditch World Cup.

Dumbledore still had a smile on his face, without any change.

In fact, to Dumbledore, no matter how good Viktor Krum was, he was just a Quidditch player. What had Dumbledore not seen over the years? He had even seen a pink humanoid toad.

Besides, the students at Hogwarts were not much worse than Viktor.

"I know you. I've seen your games."

Without waiting for Karkaroff to continue showing off, Viktor took the initiative to speak. He said to Harry who was standing next to Dumbledore with excitement on his face.

"The champion of this year's Wizarding World Championship is the famous Harry Potter. If I hadn't been busy participating in the Quidditch World Cup, I think I would have participated in that competition as well."

The charm of the Wizard card is that almost all young people like it.

The other students of Durmstrang School also looked at Harry with admiration.

Many of them participated in this competition, but unfortunately they didn’t even make it through the preliminaries.

"uh-huh."

The sound of clearing a throat made Viktor's gaze shift, and his eyes lit up again: "By the way, there is also the runner-up, Mr. Draco Malfoy."

Draco nodded with a smile on his face, and was very pleased with the admiring looks from the Durmstrang students.
