The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 586 Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

The wizard nobles hiding in the dark side of the world.

This is actually a term with a higher meaning but a rather general term.

It generally refers to those wizarding aristocratic families who are very low-key and not famous, but are powerful enough to influence the world and even secretly control the direction of the entire world.

Honestly, this is outrageous.

It's almost like an urban legend.

But just like some Muggles who believe in Freemasonry and Lizardmen, many wizards just believe in this.

For a moment, people in the entire small square became excited.

Each one of them looked at Link and Emily with expectant eyes, and some wanted to strike up a conversation and get to know each other, but they didn't dare.

Link and Emily ignored all these looks.

The two of them walked directly in front of Gabrielle with expressionless faces.

The strong aura around Link and Emily and the special aura pressure coming from the pavement made Gabrielle's breathing become much heavier.

It was almost impossible to maintain the original serious and dignified appearance.

Fortunately, at this time, Link restrained his sharp aura and showed a kind smile:

"Miss Gabrielle Delacour?"

"Yes, it is!"

Gabrielle was excited, stood up straight suddenly and responded.

"Ha ha……"

Upon seeing this, Emily covered her mouth with her white silk-gloved hands and chuckled.

This made Gabrielle blush slightly.

Link glanced at Emily, but did not stop Emily's behavior. He just stretched out his hand and said:

"Nice to meet you, Miss Delacour, I am Mike Washington, and this is my wife, Emily Washington."

"Nice to meet you! Mr. Washington, Mrs. Washington!"

Gabrielle spoke nervously, stretched out her hand to shake Link's hand, and then extended her hand towards Emily.

However, Emily was not as kind as Link.

Facing Gabriel's extended hand, Emily covered her mouth with a look of disgust on her face and just nodded.

Such an arrogant gesture made Gabrielle so embarrassed that she could only withdraw her hand and lower her red face.

But Gabrielle didn't feel too angry because of Emily's attitude.

In fact, she has experienced this kind of scene many times and has long been used to it.

Like Fleur, her Veela characteristics are too obvious.

This resulted in her often being despised and ridiculed in various ways after Beauxbatons and even the entire French magical community began to advocate pure-blood supremacy.

To be honest, someone like Emily is considered polite.

Normal nobles would not even look at her, as if it would dirty their eyes.

There were very few people who were as polite to her as Link and even shook hands with her.

And this was also clear to Link after the initial investigation.

It is precisely because of this that Link makes Emily look so arrogant.

This makes more sense and makes dressing up easier for Emily.

After all, Link and Dumbledore both possess master-level Occlumency and Legilimency spells, and can be said to be born actors.

But Emily is different.

If the newly created character is too different from her original personality, it will be easy for her to pretend to be someone else.

"call--"

After taking a deep breath, Gabrielle adjusted her emotions, raised her head again and smiled:

"I wonder where my sister is?"

"Maybe I was a little too excited to see you. Fleur accidentally sprained her foot when she got out of the car, so the treatment wasted some time." Link looked towards the direction of the carriage, "But it should be healed soon... Oh ! Look, here she comes.”

"Gabriy! My Gabriy! How are you?"

Furong's surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Her movement was so fast that Link only saw a silvery white afterimage, and then Fleur hugged Gabrielle into her arms.

"Uh... I'm very... very good, please... let go..."

Gabrielle's face was red and she was struggling in Fleur's arms. When she got to the back, she seemed to be in a hurry and yelled angrily, "Put me down!"

hum-

A dull sound came from between the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, Fleur was suddenly bounced away by the magic power erupting from Gabrielle.

The power of this burst of magic power was controlled very delicately. While it bounced Furong away, it happened to not injure or knock down Furong.

But even though she didn't suffer any physical damage, Furong's heart seemed to be broken by that blow, and her face was full of disbelief and sadness.

But there was a coldness lingering on Gabrielle's face.

She quickly rearranged her clothes that were messed up by Fleur's hug, and then put on a patterned smiling face again and said respectfully to Link and Emily:

"Sorry for making you two laugh. But my sister, shouldn't you also introduce these two distinguished guests to me?"

When two parties meet for the first time, a relatively comprehensive and appropriate introduction should be made by a third party.

This is the rule in the high-level wizarding circles in Europe.

It is a good way to avoid the embarrassment caused by bragging.

Therefore, although Link had already reported his name to Gabrielle before, and the recommendation letter that Fleur gave to Gabrielle also contained detailed information forged by Link, Emily and others.

But now Gabrielle still asked Fleur, the third-party recommender, to make another formal introduction.

After all, this is true etiquette.

After hearing this, Furong finally woke up.

She looked at Gabrielle with a complicated expression for a while, and then said:

"Gabriel, these two are Mr. Mike Washington and his wife, Mrs. Emily Washington. They are wizards from the United States. Their Washington family is mainly engaged in business activities in the American magic world. Some members of the family also work at the Ministry of Magic in the United States."

Both politics and business flourished.

This is the path that most pure-blood wizard families will take.

Very ordinary, nothing much to say.

The introduction made by Furong could almost be said to be nonsense.

But after hearing this, many other pure-blood noble wizards who were paying attention here showed shock and excitement in their eyes.

What caused them to have such a big reaction were the words 'American Magical World' and 'Washington Family'.

The first president of the Muggle regime in the United States was named Washington.

This is common sense even among wizards who don't pay much attention to Muggle society.

Now, the Washington family, whose base is in the magical world of the United States, suddenly appears.

Moreover, the two wizards from the Washington family in front of them both have such noble and unique temperaments.

This makes it difficult for wizards who are good at association to continue to speculate in the direction of the hidden people who already have some guesses in their hearts.

Ever since, it was in the minds of many wizard nobles around.

The image of a terrifying hidden wizard who has controlled the entire Muggle regime in the United States for hundreds of years was born!

At the same time, their gazes towards the main body of Beauxbatons Castle became even more intense.

If it can attract the kind of terrifying wizards and hidden tribes, then Beauxbatons Magic School must be excellent!

"Of course, there are two other members on our trip," Fleur looked in the direction of the carriage and continued, "Brian Washington and the great butler of the Washington family, Mr. Skaar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore and Old Kled also stepped out of the carriage.

Among them, Dumbledore has also completed his transformation.

However, unlike Link and Emily, his transformation direction made him a little younger - from the original big old man to a little old man with some black hair.

As for Old Kled, there is no need to transform at all.

After all, if you put aside the clothes, humans can't actually tell the difference between house elves and house elves.

That is to say, Old Creed's special temperament and personality that is different from other house elves is a bit tricky.

But it's not a big problem, as long as he restrains himself a little.

"Mr. Brian Washington is Mr. Mike Washington's uncle. He is here to accompany Mr. Mike Washington to visit Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the younger members of the family."

Fleur said slowly.

Link and Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

But Link looked at Dumbledore a little coldly.

After all, no one would be happy to have an uncle out of thin air, not to mention that Dumbledore originally wanted to be his 'grandfather'.

But this scene has other meanings in the eyes of others.

This pair of uncle and nephew definitely don’t get along!

Maybe it's an internal fight over family inheritance!

This kind of struggle is not uncommon in large families!

Thinking of this, all the nobles nearby became excited.

Although their status is also very noble, their nature of liking gossip still exists.

Gabrielle didn't think so much.

She is relatively simple.

In fact, Link thinks that Gabrielle may not even be aware of the deep hidden character in their creation.

Hearing this, Gabrielle just nodded, then frowned and asked:

"Choose offspring for the younger generation in the family, so why didn't he come?"

Because this junior is not even an egg now!

Old Kled complained in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Emily's belly.

"Humph!"

Emily snorted coldly and said, "He has no right to choose. It is enough for us to choose for him!"

Gabrielle's frown deepened.

She doesn't like Emily very much, this person is too arrogant.

Especially, now Emily actually said that she can make the decision for her child.

Although this makes sense in theory, it is also full of disrespect.

However, due to her status, she didn't say anything else, and she greeted Link and his party towards the main body of Beauxbatons Castle without being humble or condescending.

"Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into three parts." Gabrielle introduced as she walked, "The first is the external protective layer, which is composed of a variety of protective spells and can effectively isolate Muggles and black people. The invasion of wizards. At the same time, it is also the place where students go for outings during holidays. Every spring and autumn, professors organize lower-level students to go on outings to the Pyrenees Mountains. Senior students can move freely in the mountains. .During this period, the French Ministry of Magic will also send Aurors to carry out security work. This is not only to prevent outsiders from entering the mountains, but also to prevent some lively students from leaving their scope of activities and encountering dangers.

The second is most of the buildings on this small mountain island.

A large part of these buildings are various small workshops and commercial shops, which are similar in nature to Lion Heart Street, but smaller in scale.There are also buildings that house the workers of these shops and workshops.These people depend on Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a living, providing various business services to the students of the school and living here at the same time. "

Link and Emily both nodded when they heard this.

They got it.

The second part of the business circle that Gabrielle mentioned is actually a variant of Hogsmeade Village.

The only difference between them is that Hogsmeade is a pure wizarding village independent of Hogwarts.

The business circle around Beauxbatons is even more straightforward.

Due to the tight security around them, they moved directly over and integrated with Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"The third one is the main body of Beauxbatons Castle where we are now."

Gabrielle spread her hands to show off, and then the huge wooden door in front of everyone slowly opened. Everyone's eyes passed through the foyer and soon noticed the huge main hall of the castle, which was like a church.

"This is where Beauxbatons staff and students live, study, and work. Many areas within it were extensively covered with invisible spells last year to accommodate the growing space for students and staff. Demand. Below, please follow me."

As Gabrielle spoke, she led Link and others into the main hall of the castle.

It was only when they stood in the main hall in person that Link and others fully realized the grandeur and beauty of this hall.

This is a kind of beauty that is different from the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle.

The design idea of ​​the Hogwarts auditorium is actually more inclined to the integration of man and nature.

It is precisely for this reason that the ceiling of the auditorium was cast by Slytherin and turned into a magic curtain that can display the external climate scene in real time.

This idea is also demonstrated in other aspects.

For example, it's already the [-]th century, but Hogwarts is still using magic candles for lighting, making the entire castle gloomy.

But Beauxbatons is different.

The construction of this castle clearly 'borrowed' from many Muggle cathedrals.

Its overall structure is dignified and grand, and the walls are dotted with large arched stained glass windows, and even characters are formed on them.

The external sunlight hits the glass windows and projects into the main hall, creating a beautiful scene that is like being in a dream, or a paradise.

This beautiful scenery also appeared above everyone's heads.

A huge magic mural is painted on the high ceiling of the entire main hall.

The mural seems to depict a dinner party, in which people wearing various quaint dresses are drinking and eating happily, and from time to time they will look at Link and others below.

"This is the Beauxbatons auditorium. We usually have our daily meals and various celebration activities here. As for the murals, they are the founders of Beauxbatons. The paintings depict their initial completion of Beauxbatons. The structure of Barton Magic School, the scene when the first celebration party begins." Gabrielle explained, "The scenery here will be more beautiful at night, when all the magic lights will be turned on, and there will be fairies and elves to help us Playing, that kind of beauty..."

Gabrielle stopped talking and looked longingly, as if she was immersed in some kind of memory.

Link and Emily looked at Dumbledore with teasing eyes.

The lights of various colors are bright, as if you are in a neon line, and there is fairy music playing all around. When you are drinking with your friends around you, you can still raise your head and look at the seniors who are also feasting in the ceiling. Let's toast each other with a glass of wine...

In comparison, the various banquets at Hogwarts are like open-air banquets in the countryside.

Even the ghost show unique to Hogwarts, in contrast to the magnificent scene in front of us, seemed to be a bad performance by a low-level entertainer.

No wonder Beauxbatons and his team complained about the poor conditions at Hogwarts when they came to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

The gap between the two is really quite big.

There was no expression on Dumbledore's face.

He just scanned everything around him quietly, then coughed and said:

"Miss Gabrielle Delacour, please stop introducing the scenery for now. To be honest, we are not interested in these. After all, we have seen too much. I think you should focus on introducing some cloth The teaching characteristics of Sparton Magic School are better."

Dumbledore's cold voice woke Gabrielle from her memories.

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

She bowed to Link and others and continued, "As for the teaching characteristics, you don't have to worry. Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has invested even more heavily in teaching. We did not choose to compete with Hogwarts and Ilvermorny. A similar system of separate colleges has chosen the superior unified system instead.”

Hearing this, both Emily and Dumbledore frowned slightly.

Gabrielle showed openly and openly that Beauxbatons can still endure the excellent hardware conditions.

After all, they are indeed better than Hogwarts in this regard.

But now Gabrielle started to run Hogwarts openly.

This is a bit too much.

When Gabrielle saw this, she smiled slightly and said:

"Since you all come from the American magic world, you are naturally more familiar with Ilvermorny's house system and have a greater sense of belonging. So it is normal for you to have some resistance to my remarks. However, what I said is the truth. Please listen to me explain slowly.

Whether it is Hogwarts or Ilvermorny, the original intention of setting up the branch system is to allow the various houses to compete with each other, so that the overall quality of students can be positively improved. For this reason, Hogwarts also established colleges Cup is such an honorable award.

This mechanism is classic and very useful.

The fact that there have been so many outstanding wizards in the history of Hogwarts and Ilvermorny is the best proof of this.

But the problem is that the disadvantages of this mechanism are also obvious.

That is, when this kind of competition lasts for a long time, it will often evolve into a chain of contempt between colleges, as well as other vicious and widespread bullying incidents! "
