Scott chatted with his friends on the other side of the [Magic Mirror] for a while, and after having breakfast in the banquet hall, he left Beauxbatons Castle and returned to their tower.
Arriving in the common room of the tower, Scott connected the magic mirror to the large hanging mirror.
Soon, a scene of the Hogwarts Great Hall appeared in the large mirror.
From time to time, students walked up to the camera and greeted members of their delegation.
Scott and the others spent most of the day in this way.
That evening, when they walked into the banquet hall again, they found that the decorations had changed again.
The original bright and grand atmosphere has disappeared.
The surrounding walls were hung with opaque black curtains, and the bright crystal lamps were replaced with dim yellow pumpkin lanterns and black candles.
In addition, there are white skeletons and scary pumpkin-headed scarecrows everywhere.
Even the glittering group of fairies were gone, replaced by a group of dark, red-eyed bats.
Everything you see is Halloween elements, decorating it with a strong festive atmosphere.
It can be seen that the teachers and students of Beauxbatons put a lot of thought into expressing all this.
From the moment he entered the banquet hall, Fred held up the [Magic Mirror] so that the teachers and students of Hogwarts could see the scene here.
And the picture in the [Magic Mirror] mirror also shows the Halloween dinner at Hogwarts.
“After the dinner, the warriors belonging to the three schools will be born!” Fred said to the [Magic Mirror].
While talking, they still came to sit down at the same place.
Lucio also ran over quickly and sat with Scott.
This time, he finally noticed the [Magic Mirror] in Fred’s hand.
“It doesn’t appear to be a two-way mirror.”
His eyes were fixed on the mirror in Fred’s hand.
“This is [Magic Mirror], my alchemy work.” Scott said, “The magic text circuit is simplified after getting it from the “Knowledge Bank Core (Alchemy Part) Construction Record”, you should know that book.”
Lucio’s eyes widened when he heard this.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.” He said excitedly, “Are you talking about the book that Nicolas Flamel left in the Knowledge Bank and can be redeemed for just 1 credit?”
“That’s the one.” Scott said with certainty.
“How is it possible? Did you understand that book?” Lucio looked shocked. “No, probably not. I roughly know your alchemy level, but you don’t have alchemy in Hogwarts.” There is no famous alchemist…”
He seemed to be in a state of confusion.
Scott raised his eyebrows, “Who said there are no famous alchemists in Hogwarts? Don’t forget that our principal Dumbledore once collaborated with Nicolas Flamel and invented 12 ways to use dragon’s blood. “
It was impossible for him to reveal the existence of the Ravenclaw tutor, so he placed the credit for deciphering the book on Dumbledore.
Lucio was shocked, “Is Dumbledore’s alchemy level better than all the alchemy professors in Beauxbatons? Since I joined the Scholars Alliance, I have been studying that book with the help of professors, but we There hasn’t been much progress.”
He turned his head and looked at Dumbledore, who was chatting with Madame Maxime on the teacher’s bench, with a fanatical look in his eyes.
“You said, can I ask Professor Dumbledore for advice?” He asked in a dreamy tone, “I am a Beauxbatons student, will Dumbledore answer my questions?”
With that said, he turned his head again and looked at Scott with burning eyes, “You are really lucky, Scott. What do you think, if I transfer to Hogwarts? Can it succeed?”
Scott has been stunned by his performance.
Fred didn’t bother talking to the other side of the [Magic Mirror] and looked at Lucio with surprised eyes.
“Oh…transfer? No need.” Scott said, “You can ask Professor Dumbledore for advice. He will be happy to answer questions for the little wizards.”
Lucio was immediately excited, “Really? That’s great! I can’t wait!”
Scott quickly changed the subject, “Before I came, didn’t you say you would give me a surprise?”
“Oh, the surprise is the stone platform where the [Goblet of Fire] is placed.” Lucio said in a dull tone, “You have already broken through it.”
At this moment, Mrs. Maxim stood up and started speaking again.
“Before the Halloween dinner begins, I need to explain two things.”
“First of all, it is the learning issues of the students from the Hogwarts and Durmstrang delegations.”
She waved her hand and a pamphlet appeared in front of all the Hogwarts and Durmstrang students.
“Because the Triwizard Tournament will last for the entire school year, in order not to affect your study progress, you are free to choose any class in Beauxbatons to attend.”
“Introductions to all courses, as well as detailed course schedules, are in the booklet in front of you.”
Hearing her words, Scott picked up the beautifully printed booklet in front of him.
There are several lines of large and small words written on the cover of the booklet——
[Welcome to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]
[FOR Guests of Hogwarts and Durmstrang]
[This is a guide book to ensure you have a happy study and life in Beauxbatons]
Flipping through the booklet casually, the content inside is a comprehensive introduction to Beauxbatons School of Magic, including the school’s history, maps, courses, professors and other information, with pictures and texts, very detailed.
Among them, the manor map in the booklet even has the function of automatic navigation.
“I also participated in the production of this.” Lucio said, “Of course, it took me a lot of time.”
“Thank you, you are really thoughtful.” Scott sighed.
At this time, Dumbledore and Professor Hartman also read the booklet and expressed their gratitude to Madame Maxime on behalf of their respective schools.
Madame Maxime nodded reservedly, “This is what we should do.”
Then, she raised her voice again, “Also, the results of the warrior selection will be announced in public after the dinner.”
With that, she announced the official start of the Halloween dinner.
Tonight’s dishes are very different from those at the welcome banquet yesterday.
All the dishes and drinks are made in Halloween style, which looks a bit weird.
The meat is made to look bloody, and many are shaped like internal organs. The pudding looks like a brain, and the juice drink looks like a glass of blood.
But I have to say, the taste is not bad.
But the atmosphere of this banquet was not warm, and most students had no mood to eat.
It was not because the shape of the dishes was too disgusting, but because everyone was looking forward to the birth of the three warriors.
Finally, when the dishes on the table disappeared and turned into a pile of small pumpkin lanterns and candies, Madame Maxime stood up again.
This time she did not stand on her seat, but walked out of her seat and stepped onto the stone platform where the [Goblet of Fire] was placed.
At this moment, the banquet hall became silent.
Nervous and expectant.
Everyone stared at Madame Maxime’s actions.
“The [Goblet of Fire] is about to make a decision!” Madame Maxime opened her hands, “The name of the warrior will be born in the flame, let us start looking forward to it…”
As she spoke, all the candles gradually went out, and the banquet hall became darker and darker.
Only the blue-white flame in the [Goblet of Fire] burned more and more vigorously, and sparks kept bursting out.
Bang.
A large number of sparks burst out, and in an instant, the blue-white flame turned red.
Then, a tongue of fire jumped high into the air.
A piece of burnt parchment flew out of the fire and landed in Madame Maxime’s hands.
Madame Maxime gently pinched the paper with two thick fingers and squinted her eyes.
The flame turned blue and white again at this time.
Everyone was holding their breath and waiting for her to read the name on the paper.
“First, the first one, the warrior from Durmstrang.” Madame Maxime’s voice was low at first, and then gradually raised, “Viktor Krum!”
Cheers and applause broke out instantly, sweeping the entire banquet hall.
“Come on, Mr. Krum.” Madame Maxime waved to Krum who stood up, “Stand in front.”
Krum walked forward quickly and stood in front of the stone platform.
When the flame turned red again, the name of the second warrior appeared.
“The second one, the warrior from Beauxbatons…”
Madame Maxime paused for a moment and smiled with satisfaction.
She read out the name proudly.
“Fleur Delacour!”
Fleur stood up with even more enthusiastic applause and cheers, shaking her silver hair and walking forward.
She bowed to Madam Maxime and turned to stand beside Krum.
Just then, the third parchment flew out from the burst of red flames.
Madam Maxime reached out and picked up the piece of paper, with a moment of surprise on her face.
But she quickly restrained her expression and read out the name on the paper aloud.
“The third one, the champion from Hogwarts, Scott Trollope!”
“Oh, it’s me.”
Scott stood up.
“Oh! It’s you! Scott!”
“Well done, Scott!”
Fred and Roger both stood up and hugged Scott, and they were more excited than Scott himself.
Scott also heard cheers and applause from the [Magic Mirror].
“Congratulations, Scott!” Lucio was also applauding.
Scott nodded and left his seat.
“Come on, Scott!”
Scott turned around and Cedric was making a “come on” gesture to him.
“I will.”
Scott smiled slightly, walked forward, first bowed slightly politely to Madam Maxime, and then turned to stand beside Fleur.
“Three warriors representing three schools have been born!” Madame Maxime’s voice came from behind, “Let’s congratulate them!”
Another round of lively cheers and applause rang out.
When the voice stopped, Madame Maxime walked down the stone platform.
“Next, the warriors need to go to the lounge in the side hall to receive preliminary pre-match guidance.”
Madam Maxime signaled Fleur with her eyes.
“You lead the two gentlemen to the lounge, Fleur, you know where it is.”
“Yes, Madame Maxime.”
Fleur behaved very well in front of Madame Maxime.
“Two gentlemen, please follow me.”
Scott and Krum looked at each other and followed Fleur.
They passed through several layers of opaque black curtains, came to a corridor, and then walked into a lounge with light blue sofas.
The fire in the fireplace was burning, very warm.
After being separated from the crowd, Fleur seemed to become more lively.
“Please sit down, gentlemen. By the way, can I call you by your names?”
“Of course.” Scott responded politely.
But the taciturn Krum just nodded expressionlessly.
He seemed a little withdrawn, and there was a long distance between him and Scott and Fleur when he sat down.
Fleur glanced at him, then looked at Scott, “Scott, I didn’t expect you to succeed. How long until you turn 17?”
There was an inquiring look in her eyes, as if she wanted to find out information about Scott.
“Most of the year.” Scott replied.
The two started chatting like this, and Furong changed her previous arrogance and started asking some questions.
Scott soon heard that the other party was indeed seeking information about him.
But as time passed and Scott never said anything useful, Fleur began to have an impatient look on her eyebrows.
Although she disappeared quickly, Scott was still keenly aware of it.
Just then, two officials walked in.
The French Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lefebre, Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, and Mr. Jolly, Director of the Sports Department.
Lefebvre, who was meticulous in every aspect, just said hello to them and sat aside with a serious face.
Mr. Jolly’s manner was much more cordial.
“First of all, congratulations to you, three warriors.” He seemed to be accustomed to using rich body language when speaking, “Now we need to provide you with some necessary guidance.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Mr. Lefebvre.
“Tell them, Ang.” Mr. Lefebvre said solemnly.
“Okay, no problem.”
Mr. Jolly nodded cheerfully.
“The first project is to test your courage.”
He faced Scott and the three of them again.
“So I’m not going to tell you the specifics of the game.”
“In short, we believe that the courage to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards, which is very important!”
“The first event will be held on November 24. There will be many spectators at the scene, and the judging panel will score your performance.”
“Warriors may not solicit or accept any assistance from others in completing competition events.”
“When facing the first round of challenges, the only weapon in your hands is your own wand.”
“They won’t find out what’s going on with the second project until after the first project is over.”
“By the way, there is also good news for you. None of you three need to take the end-of-school exams of your respective schools!”
“Do you have anything else to add, Antoine?” He looked at Mr. Lefebvre on the other side.
“No.” Mr. Lefebre stood up. “We should go back to the ministry.”
“Oh, damn work, never ending.”
Mr. Jolly complained, said goodbye to Scott and the other three, and then left the lounge with Mr. Lefebure.
Not long after they left, Dumbledore, Madame Maxime, and Professor Hartmann walked in.
“Now it’s time for you to celebrate.” Madam Maxime smiled and looked at Fleur, “Let’s go, Fleur, your friends are waiting for you.”
Professor Hartmann was very excited, “Oh, I knew it would be you, Viktor, everyone would be proud of you!”
He hugged Krum warmly.
Scott was at just the right angle to see Krum’s expression.
After being hugged by Hartman, his face became even more gloomy.
Scott moved his eyes away from the eye-catching scene of macho men embracing each other, stood up and walked to Dumbledore.
“professor.”
“Let’s go, kid, everyone is waiting for you.” Dumbledore said with a smile, “You can party and make a lot of noise tonight.”
Scott followed him out of the castle and toward the tower parked on the lawn.
“I heard that you used your superb human transfiguration to break through the obstacles set by Beauxbatons.” Dumbledore said, “I think Minerva will be proud.”
“I should also thank Professor McGonagall for his teachings.” Scott said with a smile.
He suddenly remembered what he had lied to Lucio before, so he told Dumbledore what happened.
Dumbledore shook his head in a funny way, “What should I do? I’m probably going to be knocked down by Beauxbatons’ little alchemy genius! Although I’m friends with Nico, I’m actually not good at alchemy, let alone with Raven. Ms. Crowe’s level is comparable.”
Scott didn’t believe what he said, “I’m afraid what you’re not good at is only compared to what you’re good at. I believe that even in alchemy, which you’re not good at, you should be able to surpass many wizards.”
“This is really giving me a problem.” Dumbledore complained casually.
While talking, the two entered the tower.
At this time, everyone in the Hogwarts delegation gathered in the hall on the first floor, and several house elves were busy delivering food and drinks to them.
They also moved the large mirror to the wall of the hall, and Fred was interacting passionately with the audience at the other end.
Scott walked into the hall and everyone started clapping.
“Welcome Scott, the champion of Hogwarts!”
Fred shouted loudly, and in the mirror, people on the other side were applauding.
Dumbledore stepped forward and put his hand down.
After everyone, including the person on the other side of the mirror, quieted down, he began to speak.
“I just want to say one thing to you. After I say it, you can make a fuss without any scruples.”
“What I want to say is, don’t relax in your studies just because you don’t have a familiar professor to supervise you.”
“The courses at Beauxbatons are unique and have many contents that are different from Hogwarts.”
“In some classrooms led by professors, even Beauxbatons students who want to attend classes are turned away because they do not meet the professor’s recruitment standards.”
“During the Triwizard Tournament, all Beauxbatons courses will not set a threshold for you. This is a rare opportunity. I hope you don’t miss it.”
At this point, he clapped his hands.
“Okay, that’s all I have to say, let’s start your celebration!”
His figure suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“The party’s on!”
Fred’s shout kicked off the carnival.
Scott had to stand there and receive the congratulations from everyone, including the classmates on the other side of the mirror, and also listen to their expectations for his championship.
Especially the Ravenclaws at Hogwarts, they were extremely happy.
Although not everyone in Hogwarts will support Scott to become a warrior, due to the strong fighting power he has always shown, no one dares to say anything in front of him.
After the celebration party, Scott and Fred returned to the dormitory together to study Beauxbatons’ courses.
Roger disappeared somewhere during the party, and Scott ignored him.
“You can go to class tomorrow,” Scott said. “We’d better sort out a class schedule of our own.”
This school year, Scott’s six courses at Hogwarts are Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ancient Runes, and Arithmancy, so his choice at Beauxbatons is still the same. These doors.
Of course, when you come to Beauxbatons, you can’t miss their unique alchemy class.
“I’m going to choose alchemy too,” Fred said. “It seems like it would be useful for our inventions.”
Scott asked Lucio through the [Book of Prometheus].
Lucio quickly sent a reply.
[Please choose Russell Alchemy Classroom. Professor Russell is my tutor. He is the best alchemist in Beauxbatons today. ]
Scott takes good things for granted.
Then, based on his suggestions and course schedule, other courses were selected and a course schedule was made.
Fred asked while sorting out his class schedule, “We are just observing, don’t we all have to do homework?”
Having said this, he stared at Scott with envious eyes.
“Warriors don’t need to take the end-of-school exams. Did you know this a long time ago and work so hard to become a warrior?”
“Not really.” Scott replied calmly.
Moreover, the exam is not an inevitable problem for him.
Just then, Roger came back.
But his face looked a little ugly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Scott shook the parchment in his hand, “We have already chosen the courses, you should hurry up and choose yours.”
“Oh, don’t mention it.” Roger covered his face with one hand.
Scott looked at his expression, raised his eyebrows, and asked a little funny, “Did you go to see Miss Delacour? Did you hit a wall?”
“Roughly the same.”
Roger stood up and took Scott’s class schedule.
“But I didn’t take the initiative to find her, she took the initiative to find me.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Fred expressed disbelief. “Everyone can see how arrogant that girl is.”
Roger’s face fell, “Well, she took the initiative to ask me out just to get information about Scott.”
“Huh?” Scott turned his head in surprise.
“That’s it.” Roger said, “She thinks you are a strong rival and is competing for the championship, so she wants to know more about you.”
Scott shrugged, “In the lounge before, the girl was trying to trick me, but she failed.”
Unexpectedly, he embarked on a curved path to save the country.
“Fortunately, she was looking for me, and I quickly saw through her intentions.” Roger said with some pride, “I admit that I was fascinated by her amazing beauty, but that doesn’t mean that I will lose my temper because of her. Reason, betray your friends.”
Scott said funnyly: “It seems that there are benefits to falling in love more. At least you won’t be coaxed around by beautiful girls.”
Roger nodded with deep understanding.
“So, I think we need to warn other people, otherwise sooner or later they’re going to find out something from some fool.”
Scott had no intention of doing so.
“Feel free to do it. Even if you find out about my usual performance at Hogwarts, I don’t think there is any weakness that can be targeted.”
They didn’t talk much about this matter. From the next day, they started studying in Beauxbatons.
Roger also quickly changed targets.
He gave up so neatly that Scott was a little surprised.
“I admit that Miss Delacour is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, but she is not a good choice for love.” Roger said, “I just want to enjoy being in love, and I don’t want to be unhappy because of being in love. Moreover, There are many beautiful girls in Beauxbatons…”
A few days later, they experienced all the courses that were also available at Hogwarts.
But most students at Hogwarts don’t adapt well.
The professors at Beauxbatons are not bad, but the language problem is the obstacle that Scott and the others need to overcome first.
Beauxbatons teaches in French.
Although Beauxbatons thoughtfully prepared alchemy items that could be translated simultaneously for the foreign students who were observing, those items were not omnipotent.
In other words, alchemical items can only translate some daily expressions and commonly used written language.
The professional terms and terminology involved in many subjects will make the translator immediately stop.
Scott, who also spoke no French, approached Lucio and asked him to optimize his translator.
“Did you also participate in the production of this?”
Scott put an earphone-shaped simultaneous translator into Lucio’s hand.
“You have to expand its vocabulary or it won’t be useful for lectures.”
“Oh, you are wrong, Scott.” Lucio picked up the earphone with two fingers, “This is not a work from Russell’s alchemy classroom. Look, there is a [G] here, this is Gila Those guys in your alchemy classroom did it.”
Scott smiled nonchalantly, “Oh, it doesn’t matter, whether it’s Girard or Russell, they are the same, they both represent Beauxbatons.”
He patted Lucio on the shoulder.
“Anyway, for the sake of Beauxbatons’ reputation, you are responsible for helping me change it to be more usable.”
“I must emphasize that Russell and Gilard are not the same.” Lucio’s face looked a little ugly.
“I said I don’t care, and neither does anyone else.”
Scott shrugged.
“It all looks to me like Beauxbatons, just like you look at our different houses at Hogwarts.”
He emphasized, “In short, many people are complaining about this thing now, and I think Durmstrang’s students are the same.”
Lucio frowned, “This is all the fault of those guys in Gilard’s classroom!”
Scott said: “It’s rare that Beauxbatons is generous enough to let us observe the class. Madam Maxime must also want to make it perfect, right?”
“Okay.” Lucio agreed reluctantly.
“Don’t make such an expression.” Scott patted him on the shoulder again, “You should do this happily.”
Lucio squinted his eyes, “Huh? Am I a fool?”
Scott lowered his voice, “Doesn’t this incident just prove that you, Russell, are much better than Girard? If you take the initiative to solve this matter, Mrs. Maxim will praise you when she finds out, and maybe there will be rewards. Woolen cloth.”
“I’ll do it right away,” Lucio said immediately.
“Of course, this is not for rewards. We don’t care about rewards. Nor is it to prove that we are stronger than Girard, because everyone in Beauxbatons knows this.” He emphasized, “In short, everything is for Beauxbatons. reputation!”
Scott gave him a thumbs up.
Watching Lucio leave in a hurry, Scott made an “OK” gesture to the students behind him.
Everyone praised him.
“Well done.”
“Great, hopefully they can get it done soon.”
“If this continues, I will lose confidence in class.”
“The Champion of Hogwarts!” A girl wearing Beauxbatons uniform ran over at this moment, “Mr. Trollope!”
“I’m here.” Scott turned around.
“Mr. Trollope.” The girl was slightly out of breath.
“Excuse me, what’s the matter?” Scott asked.
“Well…” The girl looked up at him and said with a blushing face: “Mrs. Maxim asked me to inform you that you must go to the classroom on the right side of the third floor to test the wand. All warriors must go there. “
“That’s it, thank you for informing me.” Scott said politely.
“No, you’re welcome.”
The girl blushed and turned around and ran away.
Scott also separated from the others and came to the third floor alone.
In the distance, he saw Dumbledore.
“Here, Scott.”
Dumbledore waved to him.
Scott walked over quickly.
“Professor Dumbledore.”
“Come on.” Dumbledore motioned for him to come in, “They need to test your wand…”
“Yes.”
Mr. Jolly poked his head through the door.
“We must check whether your wands are fully functional and in good condition, because in future competitions, your wands will be your most important equipment.”
He gestured with his hand, and Scott and Dumbledore walked into the classroom together.
The other two warriors are already here.
In addition to the members of the judging panel, there was also a tall and thin wizard in the classroom.
He was dressed very neatly, but he looked a little awkward.
Scott took a closer look and discovered the clues.
If Mr. Lefebvre’s dress is acceptable and tidy for ordinary people, then this gentleman must have serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Because everything about him is symmetrical——
The wizard’s hat was placed squarely on his head, and both sides of the hat were decorated with the same white feathers.
Wearing a straight, almost wrinkle-free plain robe, with the same brooch pinned to both sides of the skirt.
The two hands on the waist wear the same ring on the ring finger.
The thing that best reflects this gentleman’s obsessive-compulsive disorder is the mole at the corner of his eye. There is a black mole of the same size on both sides of his eye, and the position of the mole is absolutely symmetrical.
Scott guessed that one of them must have been painted on.
If he could use a ruler, Scott would be sure that the two mustaches on this gentleman’s lips were absolutely the same length.
“This is Mr. Mauriac.” Jolly pointed at “Mr. Symmetry” and introduced, “The most famous wand maker in France. Most of the wands of French wizards are made by his hands.”
