The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 590: Scottmore syndrome
The Delacour sisters wept together for a long time.
Link and his party were by the side, waiting silently with mixed feelings.
The Beauxbatons sisters, who were once the favorites of the sky, with a glorious scenery like the bright moon, have actually come to this end.
This is really embarrassing.
It wasn't until the sisters' emotions eased up that Link sighed and said:
"Your sister has been telling us that you have a high status in Beauxbatons, and you have even become the highest-ranking group in your grade, so we always think you are doing well.
But now it looks like it's not really good, right? "
Gabriel struggled to get out of Furong's arms, rubbed her red eyes and said sternly:
"Who said I had a bad time? Principal Maxim values me very much, and my credits are also very high, which can be said to be the highest in the whole grade! My sister should also tell you that credits in Beauxbatons mean that what?"
means direct status.
Link nodded, but still said:
"Then why did this happen today? From the attitude of that Lola, they don't seem to like you very much."
Gabriel said weakly:
"That's because Lola-senpai is a senior, and she's going to be in the seventh grade this year. As for the fact that everyone doesn't like me, it's true. But there's nothing you can do about it, who will..."
Gabriel stopped talking, but glanced at Furong intentionally or unintentionally.
This look made Furong bow her head in pain.
Apparently, her reputation as a Beauxbatons dwarfed Gabriel.
The whole of Beauxbatons' malice against her did not end with her graduation, but was transferred to her sister.
How cruel is this?
Furong couldn't help crying again.
But Emily, who had been silent all the time, stood up at this time, looking down at Gabriel and said lightly:
"You just called that Lola Sister Lola? Why are you being so polite. Did they warn you in other ways?"
Hearing that, Furong, who was crying just now, suddenly got stuck again and looked at Gabriel with a look of astonishment.
Emily's words reminded her.
School bullying is never a rare case.
Even magic schools do.
Those people who hated her, perhaps because of their strength and identity, dared not do anything to her, so they could only say a few words orally, plus cold violence.
But facing the weak Gabriel is different.
Under the gazes of everyone, Gabriel slowly lowered her head again, and said in an inaudible voice:
"She...they are senior..."
There were all smart people present.
Such an answer is sufficient.
Beauxbatons implemented not only the credit-only system, but also the grade system.
It's a bit like the Hogwarts prefects system.
That is, prefects theoretically have the power to manage the students of the entire school, but at the same time they are also restricted to prefects who are higher than them.
Such a system will give birth to another kind of 'grade suppression'.
That is to say, the prefects of the lower grades will gradually lose their control over the ordinary students of the upper grades.
Because the senior students don't buy their accounts at all, these senior students are only willing to listen to the orders of their current grade prefects and those of higher grades.
The power exercise of the entire prefect system is compatible with the bottom, but not compatible with the top.
In Beauxbatons, this "grade suppression" has become more extreme.
Because Beauxbatons' concept of superiority and inferiority has been deeply rooted in the bones.
This is a school where all students must stand up and say hello when they see the principal!
Gabrielle was obviously being 'suppressed by the grade'.
Even though she did very well in this grade, she has even reached the top 'prefect' level.
But she's also only in second grade.
There are too many people who can bully her and want to bully her.
This is the 'legacy' her sister left her.
So Gabriel had a really bad time.
Looking at it this way, it is very easy to understand that Gabrielle has resentment towards Fleur.
After all, being in this environment for a long time will inevitably produce some symptoms similar to Stockholm Syndrome.
For example, instead of hating the abuser, he blamed himself and Furong for all the injustices and pains he suffered.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Gabriel has more extreme thoughts that have not been revealed.
Sighing, Link smiled and said:
"Gabrielle, in my opinion, the environment of the entire French magic world has changed dramatically. It is no longer suitable for a young wizard like you to live. So, are you willing to transfer schools? Whether it is Iraq in the United States Farmony is still the Hogwarts of a different country. If you want, I can let you succeed as a transfer student in the next semester. I believe that you will love both places. The environment there , it's much better than here."
After saying that, Link smiled at Furong.
This was the last effort he could make in the face of Furong.
If Gabriel's performance is still cooperative, he doesn't mind taking it away in a softer way.
Although it would be more troublesome.
Furong also knew that Link's move was not easy, and cast a grateful glance at Link.
But Gabrielle's face suddenly turned cold when she heard the words.
"I'm not leaving Beauxbatons!"
Gabriel said decisively, "Both Barton is my home! Principal Maxime is also my elder! I want to stay here and prove to everyone here that the daughters of the Delacour family are not all trash. What I lost, I will one day get it all back! By my own strength!"
That's out of the game.
Gabriel had become paranoid to the point that it was far from being persuaded by words alone.
Link shook his head at Furong, his brows full of helplessness.
As for Furong, she was already weeping.
Gabrielle's pain and paranoia are largely due to her.
When Gabrielle saw this, she looked a little bit away from Link with a strange expression, and said quite vigilantly:
"Why do you ask me such a question? There is no reason for you to spend so much energy on our sisters' affairs, right? Is it possible that, as Sister Lola said, sister, you really became Mr. Washington's... "
"Cough-cough-"
Link's frantic cough interrupted Gabrielle's words, "Didn't you say you were going to take us to the banquet in the auditorium? Hurry up and leave."
As he spoke, Link took the lead and walked out.
Only Furong, who was flushed, and Gabriel, who had doubts in her eyes, remained.
…
Due to being delayed for too long by Lola and others, when Link and others came to the Beauxbatons Auditorium, the banquet had already started.
The Beauxbatons Auditorium at night is more splendid than it is during the day.
When the magic lights in the auditorium are fully turned on, the entire auditorium is reflected with a layer of dazzling light, like a fantasy.
Beauxbatons' emphasis on etiquette was fully demonstrated at this dinner.
The seating arrangement they adopted was not divided equally by the academy like Hogwarts, but deliberately divided into several different sections according to age, status, credit status, etc., and the decoration and seat size grades in each section Also completely different.
One of the most intuitive criteria is.
The lower the dining area, the dim the light.
The top of them is naturally the chair of the professors.
They were almost at the top of the entire auditorium.
The professors in the room looked majestic against the stained glass behind them.
Link and the others, as distinguished guests of Beauxbatons, were placed in a group of professors in some scattered small seats.
Gabriel also thanked Link and others, and was not forced to sit back in the slightly dim and shabby student seat at the bottom, but sat among Link and others.
As members of the mysterious "Washington Family", the arrival of Link and his party has attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the other noble guests who belonged to the guest seat area with Link and the others.
The attitude of these people towards Link and others can almost be described as eagerly waiting.
Even before Link and the others were actually seated, they raised the wine glasses in their hands to show their respect.
It's a pity that Link didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.
His full attention was directed to the higher faculty seat.
To be more precise, it was actually Maxim and Professor Lilo next to her.
Compared to the last time we met, Madam Maxime looked more solemn and a little older.
Like most of the professors and guests present, they all put on their own gowns.
After sitting in the center of the main seat, the huge body and serious face instantly set off the exceptional insignificance of the others.
However, when his eyes swept across Link and the others, the majestic expression showed a rare trace of moving.
Link from a distance also saw Maxim get up slightly, as if he wanted to come this way.
It's a pity that Professor Lilo, who was sitting beside her, just whispered to her for a while before letting her sit down again.
Then, Maxim began to welcome all the guests.
This makes Furong extremely disappointed.
Although she had a quarrel with Ms. Maxim earlier, she still expected to have more exchanges with Maxim.
Dumbledore and Link also moved their eyes slightly.
They were not at all interested in Maxim's stereotyped speeches. Dumbledore completely ignored Maxim on the stage and turned his head to Link and said:
"Looks like these guys have more control over Beauxbatons than we expected."
"Yeah, looking at it, Ms. Maxime has almost become their puppet." Link said lightly, "But that's okay, anyway, everything will be changed after tonight."
Dumbledore didn't speak, just gave Link a deep look.
Although he promised to assist Link in the execution of the Sombra's hunting plan.
But that doesn't mean he's just Link's opinion.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
In his opinion, just hunting down a Sombra can't change Beauxbatons' current situation.
The opposite of.
The hunt may also make Beauxbaton's form worse.
In the secret exchange between the two, Maxim's rather brief speech had ended.
Afterwards, the empty table in front of everyone began to be gradually filled with steaming dishes.
"Well-"
Dumbledore said with a half-smile, "This way of serving meals is a bit familiar."
Link knew exactly what he wanted to say, and out of love for his old principal, Link also followed:
"Yeah, I'd love to hear that that's how Hogwarts is served."
Dumbledore turned his head and glanced at Link, his face filled with a teachable light.
Gabrielle snorted coldly when she heard the words:
"Yeah, this way of serving is really something we got from Hogwarts at Beauxbatons, but we do it better than Hogwarts!"
"Oh?" Dumbledore was a little dissatisfied, and smiled, "What's the good thing about it?"
"You should know it if you know a little about it. Hogwarts's meal out of thin air is achieved by house-elves, and they put the kitchen under the auditorium, and then the house-elves raised in the kitchen serve meals. .But this way, it's too primitive!"
Gabrielle said proudly, "Our food service system doesn't need any house elves. The reason why our food service system is realized is the simple phantom specially designed for us by the president of the French Alchemy Association. Manifestation spell system.
It is no easy task to deploy such a system in a place like Beauxbatons that fully covers the anti-apparition spell!
Also, you haven't been to the Hogwarts dinner so you can't feel it.
The dishes we put out are all cooked by professional chefs in the French magic world.
In terms of level, it is much stronger than Hogwarts! "
Dumbledore's lips were pressed together again.
Because he really has no way to refute.
Calling the country a food desert is a bit of an exaggeration.
But the local cuisine chefs in the country are really pulling their hips!
Even Hogwarts uses house-elves who are very good at cooking.
But in such an environment, the level is actually the same.
The food presented at the Beauxbatons dinner was better than Hogwarts in terms of presentation.
Frowning slightly, Dumbledore instinctively turned his gaze to Link next to him.
He was also looking forward to Link being able to say a few more words for him just like he did just now.
Unexpectedly, Link and Emily had already picked up the knife and fork and launched a violent attack on the dishes in front of him.
Eating and eating and pausing from time to time to express compliments on the dishes in front of you.
Dumbledore's face changed instantly.
Staring at Link and Emily with the look of a traitor.
However, Link was unmoved.
joke.
At present, who has time to help an old man to be jealous.
When Furong and Gabriel saw that Link was having a good time eating, they finally had smiles on their faces.
He even pushed some dishes that he thought were good to Link and Emily from time to time for them to taste.
Link and Emily are also very cooperative.
Even if some dark dishes such as French snails are obviously not to their taste, they will still offer a compliment. The smiles on the faces of Gabrielle and Furong in the hands become brighter and brighter, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet also changes. getting better and better.
"call-"
As the last empty plate in front of everyone was transported away, Link took off the napkin around his neck and let out a long breath.
"Mr. Washington, are you satisfied with your meal?"
A slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Link.
Link turned his head to look, and saw that Maxim had come behind him at some point, and was smiling at him at the moment.
And the so-called Professor Lilo was also standing beside Maxim.
"Overall, I am quite satisfied." Link raised his eyebrows, got up and said, "French cuisine can be said to be the most delicious food in the whole of Europe. Even in the world, there are only Authentic Chinese food is comparable.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, it's a great honor! "
"It's great that you can be satisfied!" The smile on Maxim's face became more sincere, "Please rest assured. Although this is a banquet, apart from the etiquette process of the banquet, we will In fact, it is not done according to the highest banquet standards.
In other words, what you have just enjoyed is actually just a daily meal at our Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
If a heir of your family can attend Beauxbatons one day in the future, he will be able to enjoy the standard food and beverages of today. "
"Really?" Link said slightly surprised, "If that's the case, I'm a little envious of that kid's future life."
Maxim laughed out loud when he heard the words, looking very happy.
At this time, Emily on the side said coldly:
"Ms. Maxim, UU reading www.uukanshu.com What do you mean, all the children here enjoy the same food?"
As she spoke, Emily glanced at the student dining area in the darkest place below with some contempt.
Maxim followed Emily's line of sight and glanced over there, and instantly understood:
"Don't worry about this, Beauxbatons' daily diet is actually graded. It can be divided into daily and banquet grades. If students are not satisfied with the food standard in front of them, they can also apply for an upgrade to banquet grade. food.
Of course, this upgrade is conditional.
A certain number of credits must be reached in order to perform this upgrade.
Alternatively, submit a portion of the sponsorship of Beauxbatons to become an honorary trustee of Beauxbatons. "
"Money is never a problem."
Emily breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's the best for my kids, that's enough.
To be honest, I'd only be bored if you actually made my kids eat the same things as the lower ones. "
Hearing that, the corner of Maxim's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face almost couldn't hold back.
Because she knew very well that if the idea of Mrs. Washington in front of her was completely taken, she, Maxim, a giant hybrid, was also a low-level person.
Taking a deep breath, Maxim finally forced himself to smile:
"It's natural, please believe that Beauxbatons will never let you down. In addition, there is a dance to be held here later, please don't miss it. That is something we have specially prepared for the guests. of."
After saying that, Maxim bowed to Link and the others, and left the auditorium with Professor Lilo, who was always silent.
Link, on the other hand, silently watched their departing backs.
There was an inexplicable smile on his face.
