The rattan ball bounced and rolled twice, then stopped abruptly, and several rattan sticks were broken and a door was formed. Vagadu's students in all kinds of fancy clothes walked out of the door opened by the takraw ball, and several wizards were still blowing.

African traditional reed shell flute.

Apparently, they controlled the serpent through this flute.

"Greetings to you, Headmaster Dumbledore! Arginbad asked me to say hello to you!" Otema Mbabazi, the current headmaster of Vagadu, appeared at Hogwarts with the wolf head stick in his hand. in front of.

"Welcome, my old friend." Dumbledore said gently, "It's getting late, we have prepared some delicious meals. If we don't dislike it, we can talk about something while eating."

"Thank you for your enthusiasm and generosity."

Mbabazi opened his arms and gave Dumbledore a hug before he was picked up by Professor Sprout.

According to the plan: The Hogwarts side is in charge of hosting Vagado at the Hufflepuff House: neither they nor the herbs in their greenhouse will love the dung of this rainbow snake.

Major felt that he was really here today. Even if he had used his imagination to the fullest, he could not have imagined that there would be such a big snake in the world.

"Um...what does it eat?" Major couldn't help asking Lockhart. "It's food will bankrupt the school? Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude..."

"Eat the underground 'coal mines, sir. In addition to the Victoria mines, there are many coal mines underground in Scotland that cannot be mined by manpower. Even if it eats a year, it cannot eat a millionth of its reserves. And the next All year, it will live underground here."

Lockhart is not lying, but after the people of Vargardu reported their transportation plan to the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic discussed this issue, and the result of the discussion was that it would eat it.

Anyway, there are not many other mineral deposits in the UK, but there are many coal mines, otherwise it will not become an industrial enterprise.

The origin of the industrial revolution.

"Would you like to say hello to Mr. Mbabazi? They are also active wizards." Lockhart added.

"Then I'll say hello." Major didn't refuse.

After the people from Vaggardu came, they wanted to follow the people of Hufflepuff into the school immediately, but the giant snake suddenly screamed, and did not mean to burrow into the ground.

Vagado's people stopped, seeming a little confused.

"What's the matter? Didn't we say we'd dive right in?" Mbabazi shouted.

An older student in the back shook his head at him: "I don't know, it seems to have something to say."

As if to confirm what he said, the rainbow snake blocked its body on the stone steps up the mountain, preventing Vagadu's people from passing over.

Seeing it like this, Mbabazi frowned: "Anyone of you will become a python? Communicate with it, what's the problem?"

Several students glanced at each other, and then revealed their expressions of embarrassment.

"Kiwanuka didn't come today, he said he wanted to pray for the chief's cousin," the students replied.

This time Mbabazi was also a little confused.

But the rainbow snake's attitude is very firm, if these wizards do not meet its requirements, it will not give way.

The Waggardu had to shout and gesture, desperately trying to get the rainbow snake out of the way, even if it was told that there were coal mines underground, it wouldn't help.

They were not relieved of this embarrassment until a childish voice sounded from behind them.

"It said it was too cold here and asked you to give it kapok."

The battered Waggardu teachers and students immediately looked back and found that it was a black-haired boy wearing round-rimmed glasses.

"Kapok?" Mbabazi asked subconsciously.

Dike, it said that this land is too cold, it will hibernate soon, and wants you to bring it kapok. ' the boy added.

light me! "Mbabazi slapped himself on the forehead with his hand without the wolf head cane, "I almost forgot, this is Scotland, not warm Africa!" "

Then, without saying a word, he raised his cane and turned out a lot of kapok.

The rainbow snake swallowed the kapok with satisfaction, and then a layer of fine fluff grew on the scales on the surface of the body.

It looked at itself contentedly, and then descended through the crack.

The Africans breathed a sigh of relief and then patted the boy kindly on the shoulder.

"It seems that you are very talented in animal control... What's your name? I'll see if I can talk to Dumbledore and let you transfer to our school." Mbabazi gave him a thumbs up.

The boy looked a little embarrassed, he didn't really like saying his name in front of strangers.

However, Cedric Diggory next to him took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Harry Potter, I think you must have heard of him."

As soon as these words came out, even Mbabazi knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to bring this student to Africa.

"It turns out that he is Harry Potter." He understood, "It's really unusual."

"Thank you...I think I'm going back to my academy."

Harry smiled shyly, then ran to the Gryffindor students who were still by the lake.

These Africans didn't say anything more, and came to the auditorium along the road that the rainbow snake gave way.

The only school that had not arrived at this time was Ilvermorny in the United States.

Considering that they are going to cross the Atlantic, it is not incomprehensible that the last one arrives, but the Gryffindor lion cubs who have been waiting in place are going to be hungry.

But they don't care, after all, they can appreciate the entrance ceremony of a school more

The time gradually approached 7:30, and just as those present began to speculate whether something was wrong, there was a faint sound of thunder over the castle.

If the weather in Scotland in October is just "not sunny", then the cloudy clouds at this time are more like the sea when a storm is coming.

The rain clouds in the sky quickly gathered together in the eyes of everyone, and then it was as if something in the sky had opened an eye, and a small hole was exposed in the middle of the cloud.

Then, the sudden gust of wind turned into a giant's hand, twisting the dark clouds in the air into a twist shape, and then slamming down.

If you are a farmer living in the American Midwest, they will probably be familiar with this scene.

"It's a tornado! Here comes the tornado."

The whistling tornado funneled down from the dark clouds and ended right on the airfield built by the house-elves.

Major had to stay away with the other students to avoid being affected by the tornado. If his small body is blown into the sky by the wind, the people present are afraid to go to the snow

Go up the mountain to find him.

But the students of Gryffindor were not as timid as him, and the little lions behaved more like a storm in the face of this storm.

The lion cubs, led by the Weasley brothers and Lee, were elated one by one, jumping around and making loud noises like a bull in estrus. In the end, Professor McGonagall had to get angry, which made the people in his college shut up.

And just when there was a mess underneath, an airship slowly flew down from the eye of the tornado.

It was a red spherical airship, and the whole boat was painted the same red as the airship plum, and the green searchlights cast by the side of the boat just formed the "green leaves" of plums, which looked quite unique.

Because the airship is relatively large, even in the eye of the tornado, it was still blown around, until it reached a height of more than 50 meters above the ground, and it stabilized slightly.

The sharp eyes of everyone could see that someone in the pod hanging under the airship cast a spell outwards, and the gust of wind surrounding the airship finally calmed down.

As the tornado subsided, the airship also stopped spinning and shaking, and landed slowly in the eyes of the teachers and students until it stopped on the reserved "airport".

"Awesome 'wind tunnel' magic, the understanding of this magic in the United States has surpassed that of other schools by a large margin. ' Dumbledore exclaimed.

Prime Minister Major looked left and right, and finally couldn't help himself, so he asked his own question.

"I probably understand... that tornado just now is a very strange kind of travel magic, right?"

"You're right." Lockhart confirmed his guess.

"Okay, I don't know much about your wizards, but... with the violent rotation like just now, will the people inside really be okay?" Major wondered.

No one could answer his question this time.

As soon as the airship landed, the door of the pod was immediately smashed open.

The students in Ilvermorny school uniforms rushed out of the hatch, then ran to the grass one by one, vomiting one by one.

Dumbledore was obviously holding back his laughter, as calmly as he could.

Major explained: 1o It seems that some small accident happened, our American guests are very concerned about this

There's a good chance that magic is as unfamiliar as we are to it. "

P.S. Take it slow, even if the ten cuts are added, they are added a little bit a day, gently and gently. Today, let's start with 3,000 words.

In addition, the African rainbow snake should be different from Australia's, right? Baidu experts don't just read the first few articles.

Chapter two hundred and ninety-two private alliances

Although there were some small episodes, the people from Ilvermorny College in the United States finally arrived at Hogwarts safely.

And they were fortunate that only the people of Gryffindor House saw their embarrassment, and the lion cubs didn't care about it, but thought that the way they came to Hogwarts through the tornado was very Cool, even if it's really a little dangerous then—account

/\

Ilvermorny College was not dispatched by their current Principal this time, but Vice Principal Isaac Potter.

Yes, this gentleman is also surnamed Potter. His ancestor, Abraham o Potter, was a member of the original "Twelve Aurors" of the Magical Congress of the United States, and he is still a distant relative to the famous Harry Potter. It's just that this kind of kinship has long existed in name only, and the branch point that can be traced back to the end of the 17th century may be traced back.

Their "wind tunnel" magic belongs to the research results of the school in recent years. It is inspired by the tornadoes that blow hundreds of times every year in the Midwest of the United States. The previous experiments were very successful, but the cross-ocean travel is still fun after all. It was a little too big, beyond the theoretical data of the experiment, so it almost capsized.

However, even if you need to take risks, you can't help but pretend.

"The loss rate of gems is a bit higher." Mr. Potter explained forcefully, "When you go back, it's good to reduce two long-horned water snake gems."

After Ilvermorny's people also arrived, the Hogwarts Great Hall was finally ready for dinner.

The Prime Minister, who had watched a good show, was so satisfied that the time spent all night was worth the money, so much so that he couldn't help but say more in his speech, which made the hungry students murmur.

Seeing that Hogwarts actually invited the Prime Minister of the Muggle government to give a welcome speech, all parties

react differently

Beauxbatons and Vagado's people applauded after Major's speech, while Durmstrang and the little snakes on the Slytherin table were indifferent.

The applause from Gryffindor was the loudest, but Lockhart doubted that the students were celebrating the end of the long speech, and that was why they applauded.

Seeing Gryffindor applauding next to them, Ilvermorny's students subconsciously joined in, but in the end they stopped early under the stern gaze of Vice-Principal Potter.

The attitudes of the parties are self-evident.

After dinner, Dumbledore announced that the Goblet of Fire would be responsible for the registration of the five-wield tournament, and each school would select a senior "warrior" in accordance with the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament.

This year, however, the rules have changed—in addition to the warriors, each school has to select a lower-grade "squire", that is, an assistant.

"The role of the attendant is to assist the warrior to complete the project, and when the warrior is unfortunately killed, he is responsible for collecting his corpse one by one, this is just a joke, no one will die!"

Seeing that the students took his words seriously, Dumbledore quickly took back what he had just said with a smile.

"...The attendants are only responsible for reconnaissance and raiding for the warriors outside the court, as well as assistance in emergencies. In addition, some projects may require two people to cooperate to complete... But the projects have taken into account your age, and will not let the attendants do it. Too many difficult things..."

After hearing this, the students finally felt relieved, and while they were relieved, they couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

"...In addition to the hegemony competition, guests from afar can also attend classes with your boarding college. I believe that each school has its own strengths.

We can communicate a lot in this regard.

One last time to say it again, the registration deadline for the lower grade students of the Goblet of Fire is October 5th, the senior grade is October 10th, the Warriors selection results will be announced on the evening of October 0th, and the opening game will be on the night of October 31st. It is also held on Halloween night: the warriors have half a month to prepare. "

After saying this, Dumbledore simply announced his disbandment, and the prefects of the various colleges took the guests to rest.

And Lockhart also left the auditorium with the Prime Minister and walked towards Hogsmeade again.

"It looks like it's going to be a big event, but it's a pity... alas, it's unlikely I'll be watching every game," Major said regretfully.

"why?"

"Because I can't always find a reason to bypass the schedules of the secretaries: a time like this evening, there are at most 10 days a year." The Prime Minister said somewhat indifferently.

ZK

"Yes, but we don't have a lot of competitions like this," Lockhart admitted. "Because wizards are small and scattered, it's rare to have a large exchange like this."

What did Major discover: "So, this is actually an academic exchange? Like an exchange student between international universities?"

"So to speak, but I'm going to take this opportunity to talk about trade," Lockhart admitted.

Major heard the overtones: "So, is there anything I can do to help 9"

■

" "Not yet, but we can't tell in the future. Considering the trade balance issue, we will use the income from oil and medicine to buy a lot of gold and industrial products in the future. When considering the sale of gold reserves, we can be a priority. "

"You're going to change to the gold standard too?"

After pound slump, Major is 'very sensitive'

"I have no objection to selling you gold in principle, but I hope you try to trade in dollars when you buy gold, and don't sell sterling... In addition, Royal Bank has a very good reputation, and you can consider storing your gold there."

"That's not possible," said Lockhart regretfully, ""We have a deal with the goblins, and the finance industry is left to them. "
