The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 586: Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wiz
A wizard noble who hides in the dark side of the world.
This is actually a higher-sense, but rather general term.
It generally refers to those wizard noble families who are very low-key and have little reputation, 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 an urban legend level thing.
But like some Muggles who believe in Freemasonry and Lizardmen, many wizards do.
For a time, the people in the entire small square were excited.
One by one, they 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 gazes.
The two were expressionless and walked directly in front of Gabriel.
The powerful aura around Link and Emily, as well as the special temperament pressure from the pavement, Gabrielle's breathing became much heavier.
It is almost impossible to maintain the original serious and dignified appearance.
Fortunately, at this time, Link restrained his sharp breath, and showed a kind smile:
"Miss Gabriel Delacour?"
"Yes, it is!"
Gabriel was excited, and suddenly stood up and responded.
"hehe…"
Seeing this, Emily covered her mouth with her white silk gloved hand and laughed softly.
This made Gabrielle's face flush slightly.
Link glanced at Emily, but did not stop Emily's behavior, just stretched out his hand and said:
"Nice to meet you, Miss Delacour. I'm Mike Washington, and this is my wife, Emily Washington."
"Nice to meet you! Mr. Washington, Mrs. Washington!"
Gabriel spoke nervously, stretched out her hand and shook it with Link, and then stretched her hand towards Emily.
However, Emily is not as kind as Link.
Facing Gabrielle's outstretched hand, Emily covered her mouth with disgust, and just nodded.
Such an arrogant gesture made Gabriel so embarrassed that she could only withdraw her hand and lowered her red face.
But Gabriel didn't feel too angry because of Emily's attitude.
In fact, she has experienced this kind of scene many times and is used to it.
Like Fleur, her Veela features are too obvious.
As a result, she was often despised and ridiculed in various ways after Beauxbatons and even the entire French magic world began to promote pure blood supremacy.
To be honest, someone like Emily is already polite.
Normal nobles didn't even want to look at her at all, as if it would stain their eyes.
There are very few people who are polite to her like Link and shake hands with her.
And this was clear to Link after the initial investigation.
It was because of this that Link made Emily look so arrogant.
It's more reasonable, and it's easier for Emily to dress up.
After all, Link and Dumbledore both have master-level Occlumency and Legilimency, so they can be said to be natural actors.
But Emily was different.
If the newly created character is too different from her original character, it will be easy to dress up if she dresses up hard.
"call-"
Taking a deep breath, Gabrielle adjusted her emotions, raised her head and smiled again:
"Where is my sister?"
"Maybe I'm a little too excited to see you. Furong accidentally wobbled her foot when she got off the car, so the treatment wasted some time." Link looked in the direction of the carriage, "But it should be getting better soon... Oh! Look, here she is."
"Gabriel! My Gabriel! How are you?"
Furong's surprised voice suddenly sounded.
Her movements were so fast that Link only saw a silver-white afterimage, and then Furong hugged Gabriel into her arms.
"Uh...I'm...very good, you hurry… hurry up…"
Gabrielle blushed and struggled in Furong's arms, but when she got to the back, she seemed to be anxious and yelled, "Put me down!"
hum—
A dull sound came from between the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, Furong was slammed away by the magic power that erupted from Gabrielle.
The explosive power of this magic power is very delicately controlled, and at the same time it bounces Furong away, it happens to not hurt or knock Furong down.
But even though there was no physical harm, Furong's heart seemed to be shattered by the blow, and her face was full of disbelief and sadness.
But Gabriel's face was lingering with a coldness.
She quickly rearranged her clothes that were messed up by Fleur's embrace, and then put on a stereotyped smile again and said respectfully to Link and Emily:
"Sorry for making you two laugh. But my sister, shouldn't you introduce these two distinguished guests to me too?"
When the two parties meet for the first time, a third party should give a more comprehensive and moderate introduction.
This is the norm in high wizarding circles in Europe.
It can be very good to avoid the embarrassment caused by boasting.
Therefore, although Link had already reported his name to Gabriel before, and the recommendation letter that Furong gave Gabrielle also contained detailed information forged by Link, Emily and others.
But now Gabrielle still asks Furong, the third-party recommender, to make another formal introduction.
After all, this is the real etiquette.
Hearing that, Furong finally woke up.
She looked at Gabriel for a while with a complicated expression, and then said:
"Gabriel, these two are Mr. Mike Washington and his wife, Mrs. Emily Washington. The two of them are wizards from the United States. The Washington family they belong to is mainly engaged in business activities in the magic circle of the United States, and at the same time Some members of the family are also employed at the U.S. Ministry of Magic."
Politics and business are blooming.
This is the path that the average pure-blood wizard family will take.
Very common, nothing to say.
Furong's introduction is almost nonsense.
However, many other pure-blood noble wizards around who were paying attention to this side listened, but their eyes showed shock and excitement.
What made them have such a big reaction were the words 'American Magic Circle' and 'Washington Family'.
The first president of the Muggle regime in the United States was named Washington.
This is common sense even for wizards who don't pay much attention to Muggle society.
Now, a Washington family whose base is in the magical world of the United States has suddenly appeared.
Moreover, the wizards of the two Washington families in front of them also possess such a noble and unique temperament.
It's hard not to let the wizards who are good at association continue to speculate in the direction of the Yin clan, which has already been speculated in their hearts.
So, in the minds of many wizards and nobles around.
The image of a terrifying wizard, the hermit clan, who has controlled the entire Muggle regime in the United States for hundreds of years, was born like this!
At the same time, their gazes towards the main body of Beauxbatons Castle became even hotter.
If you can attract all the terrifying wizards, the Beauxbatons School of Magic must be excellent!
"Of course, we have two other members on this trip," Fleur continued, looking in the direction of the carriage, "Brian Washington and the big housekeeper of the Washington family, Mr. Sgarr."
After the words were finished, Dumbledore and old Clay also got off the carriage.
Among them, Dumbledore has also completed the transformation.
However, unlike Link and Emily, the direction of his transformation is to make himself a little younger - from the original big old man to a little old man with black hair.
As for Old Klie, he doesn't need to be deformed at all.
After all, if clothing aside, humans can't tell the difference between house-elves and house-elves.
That is to say, the special temperament and character of old Kled that is different from other house elves is a bit tricky.
But it's not a big problem, as long as he is a little more restrained.
"Mr. Brian Washington is Mr. Mike Washington's uncle. This time, he came to accompany Mr. Mike Washington to visit the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the younger generation of the family."
Furong spoke slowly.
Link and Dumbledore also nodded in agreement.
It's just that Link looked at Dumbledore a little coldly.
After all, whoever has an uncle out of thin air will not be very happy, 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 uncles and nephews are definitely not compatible!
Maybe it's an infighting over family inheritance!
Such struggles are not uncommon in large families!
Thinking like this, the great nobles around him became excited.
Although their status is also very noble, their nature to like gossip still exists.
Gabriel didn't think so much.
She is more simple.
In fact, Link thinks that Gabriel is very likely not even aware of the deep hermit characters in the characters they created.
Hearing that, Gabriel just nodded, then frowned and asked:
"Choose descendants for the younger generation in the family, so why didn't he come?"
Because this junior is not even an egg at all!
Old Clay complained in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but swept to Emily's belly.
"Humph!"
Emily snorted coldly, "He doesn't have the right to choose, it's enough for us to choose for him!"
Gabrielle frowned even more.
She doesn't like Emily very much, this person is too arrogant.
Especially now that Emily has said what she can call the shots for her children.
Although this is reasonable in theory, it is also full of disrespect.
But because of her identity, she didn't say anything, and greeted Link and his party to the main body of Beauxbaton Castle without being humble or arrogant.
"The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into three parts." Gabriel introduced while walking, "One is the outer protective layer, which consists of a variety of protective spells, which can effectively isolate Muggles and black people. Invasion of wizards. At the same time, it is also a place for students to go out on holiday. Every spring and autumn, professors will organize junior 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, which is not only to prevent outsiders from entering the mountains, but also to prevent some more active students from leaving their range of activities and encountering any danger.
The second is most of the buildings on this small mountain island.
A large part of these buildings are various small workshops and commercial stores, which are somewhat similar in nature to Lionheart Street, but smaller in scale. There are also buildings that house the workers of these shops and workshops. These people are attached to the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a living, providing various business services to the students of the school, and they also live here. "
Link and Emily both nodded when they heard this.
They got it.
The second part of the business circle that Gabriel 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 more straightforward.
Limited by the tightness of the surrounding defense circle, they moved directly over and integrated with the Beauxbatons School of Magic.
"The third is the main body of Beauxbatons Castle where we are now."
Gabriel spread out her hands and made a show, and then the huge wooden door in front of everyone slowly opened. Everyone's eyes passed through the entrance hall, and they quickly noticed the huge main hall of the castle that looked like a church.
"This is where Beauxbatons staff and students live, live, and study and work. Many areas within it were also extensively casted in last year's Unmarked Casting Charm to meet the growing space for students and staff. Demand. Next, please follow me."
Gabriel spoke and brought Link and the others into the main hall of the castle.
It was also when they stood in the main hall in person that Link and the others fully realized the grandeur and beauty of this hall.
It's a beauty 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 for this reason that the ceiling of the auditorium was cast by Slytherin and turned into a magical curtain that can display the external climate scene in real time.
This line of thinking also manifests itself in other areas.
For example, it is already the 20th century, but Hogwarts is still using magic candles to illuminate the entire castle.
But Beauxbatons is different.
The construction of the castle clearly 'borrowed' from many Muggle cathedrals.
Its overall structure is dignified and atmospheric, and there are also large dome-shaped stained glass windows on the walls, and even a character image with one is formed on it.
The external sunlight hits the glass windows and projects into the main hall, forming a kind of beauty that is like being in a dream or heaven.
This kind of beauty also appeared on the top of everyone's heads.
On the high ceiling of the entire main hall, a huge magic fresco was painted.
The mural depicts what seems to be a dinner party, in which people in various quaint dresses are drinking and eating happily, and from time to time they will look at Link and others below.
"This is the auditorium of Beauxbatons, where we usually have daily meals and various celebrations. As for those murals, it is the founders of Beauxbatons. The paintings depict them as they initially completed Booths. The structure of the Barton School of Magic, the scene of the first celebration banquet." Gabriel explained, "The scenery here will be even more beautiful at night, when all the magic lights will be turned on, and the fairy spirit will be there for us. Playing, that kind of beauty…”
Gabriel stopped talking, looking longing, as if 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 are fairy music around you. When you are drinking with your friends, you can raise your head, and the seniors in the ceiling are also feasting. We toast each other a glass of wine...
In contrast, the various banquets at Hogwarts are like open-air flowing water seats in the countryside.
Even Hogwarts' unique ghost show, in contrast to the magnificent scene in front of him, seems to have turned into a bad performance by a low-level artist.
It's no wonder that Beauxbatons and his party complained about the poor conditions at Hogwarts when they came to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
The gap between the two is really big.
There was no expression on Dumbledore's face.
He just glanced at everything around him quietly, and then coughed:
"Miss Gabriel Delacour, let's stop for a while with these introductions about the scenery. To be honest, we are not interested in these, after all, we have seen too much. I think you will focus on some cloths. The teaching characteristics of Sparton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are better."
Dumbledore's indifferent voice woke Gabriel from her memory.
"Sorry, I lost my mind."
She bowed to Link and the others and continued, "You don't have to worry about the characteristics of teaching. The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has invested more in teaching. We did not choose to be with Hogwarts and Ilvermorny. Similar system of separation of colleges, but opted for a better unified system."
Hearing that, Emily and Dumbledore frowned slightly.
In front of Gabriel candidly show Beauxbatons excellent hardware conditions they can endure.
After all, they are indeed better than Hogwarts in this regard.
But now Gabrielle is actually starting to step on Hogwarts in an open and aboveboard manner.
This is a bit too much.
When Gabrielle saw this, she smiled slightly:
"Since everyone is from the American magic world, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is naturally more familiar with Ilvermorny's branch system, and has a more sense of belonging. Therefore, it is normal to contradict 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 their establishment of the branch system is to allow the various colleges to compete with each other, so as to improve the overall quality of students. For this reason, Hogwarts also established a college. Cup of this honorable award.
This mechanism is classic and useful.
The history of Hogwarts and Ilvermorny has produced so many excellent wizards is the best proof.
But the problem is that the drawbacks of this mechanism are equally obvious.
That is, over a long period of time, this kind of competition will often evolve into a chain of contempt between colleges, as well as other vicious and scoped bullying incidents! "
