Study Days at Hogwarts

It is said that the magic garden is located somewhere in Europe.

In order to prevent poachers and greedy people from destroying and plundering the Magic Garden, the International Federation of Wizards hid the Magic Garden centuries ago.

Most wizards don't even know that such a place exists, let alone the specific location of the magical garden.

Today, magical gardens are only spread among pharmacists and herbalists.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Hogwarts' Thestral carriage to go directly to the Magic Garden. Their destination is Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.

According to past practice, the school teams participating in the Magic School Potions Championship will meet at the temporary base, and then use the portkey to go to the magic garden together.

Yes, you must use a special door key to enter the Enchanted Garden.

Just like the Azkaban prison in the UK, its purpose is to prevent other wizards from knowing the specific location of the magical garden.

However, many wizards have speculated that the magic garden is in France, or in the forests near France. However, those greedy people jointly searched the entire France and the surrounding forests, and still found no trace of the magic garden.

Professor Slughorn told the two of them this information. Naturally, he did not know the specific location. It is said that the wizards who knew about it were all "Silent People" and they all swore to protect the magic garden.

However, Albert felt that Huttok Dagworth should know the specific location of the Magic Garden, or be able to go to the Magic Garden at any time, which are certain privileges of the Potion Master.

It was almost dusk when the Thestral carriage arrived in France, and the sky was dyed fiery red by the sunset. The Thestral carriage flies towards the Pyrenees Mountains, the border between France and Spain. Looking down from the carriage window, you can see a beautiful French palace located in the mountains: Beauxbatons Castle.

Of course, if you are a Muggle, you will only see a fog when passing by.

Beauxbatons Castle is protected by countless magics like Hogwarts. This beautiful castle is surrounded by majestic gardens and fountains built using magic. Under the astonished eyes of Professor Slughorn, Albert walked out of the castle. He took out his camera from his seamless stretch bag and took some photos of the French palace below.

The carriage began to tilt downward, and the Yeqi carriage landed on the outermost lawn.

There was no warm welcome ceremony and no enthusiastic French girl. There were only two people to greet them, one of whom was a very tall woman, as tall as Hagrid. Albert recognized the other person at a glance as Olim Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons Magic School in France.

Hagrid looked at Olim Maxim intently, then seemed to think of something and hurriedly went over and opened the carriage door.

"I thought Dumbledore would be leading the team."

When Mrs. Maxim saw the fat old man walking out of the carriage, she raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised and confused.

Professor Slughorn was a little confused. He couldn't understand French, but it didn't matter. Dumbledore had told him that Albert could understand it, so... He looked at Albert and waited for the other party to translate for him.

There are too few wizards like Dumbledore who can understand the languages ​​of various countries.

"There's some trouble at school, and Dumbledore can't get away." Slughorn smiled and kissed the back of the other person's hand.

Maxim didn't pay attention, and looked at Albert who got off the carriage and translated for them. His face did not show any emotional changes, but his eyes still stayed on Albert for a while.

"Karkaroff is already here. They are resting. Come with me!" Mrs. Maxim led a group of people to a remote area outside the school, where a tent was set up.

Yes, it's a tent.

There is no welcome ceremony, no welcome banquet, just a small tent!

That's right, this is just a temporary gathering place.

The space inside the tent is very large, with a table in the middle that can accommodate a dozen people, and some sofas on both sides, but they are far apart from each other.

Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang College, was talking to his students. After hearing the footsteps, everyone in the tent looked towards the door.

"Let's sit down and dine first. We were supposed to go to the Magic Garden to dine, but when I received the door key, I was told by the other party that the time we went there was nine o'clock in the evening." After Mrs. Maxim finished speaking, A group of house elves served them a sumptuous French meal.

There were eleven people at the table. Durmstrang College and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry both had three people. However, there were only two people at Hogwarts who seemed out of place, and one of them also worked part-time as a translator. The girls all looked at him appraisingly.

Handsome, handsome, gentle and gentle, which makes people feel comfortable. In addition, Albert is also the current international wizard chess champion, so he attracted the attention of the girls present, who were all secretly sizing him up.

Who doesn't like handsome guys?

Even if it's not your own, it's at least eye-catching.

While everyone was dining, Albert found a beautiful girl wearing a light blue silk robe waving to him. The two boys from Durmstrang College who had been staring at her followed her line of sight and cast unkind glances at Albert.

Facing the unkind hostility, Albert didn't care. Everyone was his opponent anyway, but these two guys were so stupid that they were affected by each other's charm.

"How many beautiful girls do you know?"

Isobel’s voice rang in Albert’s ears.

"We once met each other at Mr. Delacour's wedding. He should be a relative of Miss Louise." Albert said without thinking. The beautiful French girl obviously has Veela blood.

"I didn't expect you to still remember."

Isobel's smiling face made Albert suddenly regret answering this question. Sure enough, he should have pretended that he didn't know her just now.

"Her name is Alice, and she seems to have snatched Louise's boyfriend." Albert said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You're in big trouble!"

Isobel raised her head and glanced at Miss Alice. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they almost collided with sparks.

Isobel just nodded slightly towards the other party and then withdrew her gaze.

With just one glance, Isobel could understand the other person's little thoughts. She knew Alice's sinister intention to seduce Albert.

Isobel found it quite interesting. She didn't think that woman could succeed, and Albert could definitely guess it. However, if she is not going to help block this trouble, she should let Albert know that people's hearts are sinister, so as to prevent him from using his charm to seduce beautiful girls everywhere.

snort!

It's not like she didn't notice that all the girls in the tent were peeking at Albert.

Albert didn't know what trouble Isobel was talking about until after dinner.

Two beautiful girls from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry took the initiative to talk to Albert, and smiled and invited him to visit Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After Albert saw Alice's charming smile, he was even absent-minded for a moment, but he quickly recovered, nodded in agreement, and suggested that everyone go together.

The charming smile on Alice's face gradually froze.

Everyone thought Albert's proposal was good. Anyway, they would have to wait here for a few more hours. Mrs. Maxim did not object, so she asked her students to take other people around and let them Enjoy the scenery of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"My name is Mary. Louise mentioned you in her letter. He said you would definitely go to the competition and make Alice feel embarrassed."

Another French girl took advantage of Alice's fascination with the two Durmstrang College boys to secretly come over to talk to Albert.

"Maybe I already have a girlfriend." Albert said tactfully.

"I know, I don't mean anything else."

Mary's expression became more and more weird, and she glanced at Isobel and warned: "You'd better be careful about Alice's charm. That woman is best at using her charm to seduce other boys and make them fascinated before abandoning them."

"I have confidence in Albert."

"You speak French very fluently."

"Thanks."

Everyone walked around the school and saw the fountain built with the money of the Flamel couple. The statue of the fountain was the young appearance of the Flamel couple and was named after them.

It is said that this fountain is a date spot for couples from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"I heard the legend of this fountain. It is said that the spring water has the effect of repairing and beautifying." Albert cast a searching look at Mary.

"Those are just exaggerated rumors. If you don't believe me, just take a sip and you will know." Mary explained with a smile.

Albert used a paper cup to collect some water from the spring and took a sip. It felt no different from ordinary spring water.

After nine o'clock, everyone gathered outside the school. Mrs. Maxim took out a crutch and asked everyone to reach out and grab the crutch. Then she took out the pocket watch from her pocket and started counting down, waiting for the door key to open. time.

At the count of one, Albert felt pulled forward by an irresistible force, and his feet flew off the ground.

There seemed to be countless scenes passing by in front of his eyes, and Albert couldn't see clearly at all.

I don't know how long it took, but Albert finally felt the feeling of his feet landing on the ground again. No one fell, but it was not difficult to tell from the expressions on their faces that traveling with a door key was not pleasant.

"Can't they find a gentler way?" Professor Slughorn muttered, clearly not liking this method of travel.

"Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's teams."

A wizard's voice sounded near them.

Everyone appears at the entrance of a village, which at least looks like a village.

There were two wizards standing in front of them. One of them was holding a big gold watch, and the other smiled and reached out to pick up Madame Maxime's stick. She smiled and said to everyone: "Welcome to the magic garden."

Everyone looked up at the village in front of them, a little confused.
