A huge stone statue stepped on the playground at the main entrance of Nurmengard. A burst of smoke and dust rose up, and a huge shadow enveloped the students below.
However, despite the shock in their eyes, as soon as they saw their principal standing in front, none of the students in Nurmengard changed their posture. Instead, they stood up straighter.
Sean, who had been observing from the window, saw this scene. He had a strange expression on his face and touched his chest thankfully.
I didn’t see much of it during last year’s academic exchange, but when I came here today, my original thoughts were verified—Is Nurmengard really a magic military school?
However, Professor McGonagall was urging everyone to go down in groups, and Sean quickly left the window.
According to the previous instructions, the students of Hogwarts formed four teams according to the four houses and walked out of the stone statue.
However, compared with the students in Nurmengard who stood upright and looked straight ahead, the students at Hogwarts were like a group of stragglers, even if they temporarily adjusted their posture to make themselves less lax.
, compared with the other party, it is also far behind.
The students on both sides became serious.
Hogwarts saw the gap between the two sides, and its already vigilant mentality became even more vigilant. The Nurmengaards, on the other hand, became serious because of the shocking huge stone statue. After all, it is a famous school with a thousand years of history, and its heritage is really strong.
Even before the two parties formally met, the atmosphere was a bit heavy - even heavier than when Nurmengard came to Hogwarts.
Grindelwald walked up like a truly kind old man, and he warmly shook hands with Professor McGonagall and Professor Lockhart who were leading the team.
Yes, Lockhart also came with him - Sean thought that maybe Professor Dumbledore felt that Lockhart's class was useless, so he simply let him lead the team...
Lockhart was so moved by Grindelwald's enthusiasm that he firmly held his hand.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I am so happy to see you - I heard that your school does not have a Defense Against the Dark Arts course? Then I sincerely recommend my books, they are - ow!"
He cried out in pain and hurriedly let go of his hand. Just now, a stinging pain suddenly spread to his palm.
Grindelwald patted Lockhart on the shoulder and smiled: "I am very satisfied with the courses at this school. Professor Lockhart, I think Hogwarts can better utilize your talents."
"Oh, oh, that's what Professor Dumbledore told me!" Lockhart waved his hand and said proudly.
However, Grindelwald paid no attention to Lockhart. He reached over the professor and opened his arms to the students of Hogwarts: "Welcome! Welcome! Proud sons of Hogwarts!"
Harry next to Sean muttered: "Mr. Grindelwald is not what I imagined... He looks kind and friendly... Well, he is also very handsome, at least he is the most handsome old man I have ever seen.
He’s quite handsome.”
It's just an appearance... Still too young, Harry... Sean shook his head.
If Grindelwald was really a kind old man, would the students of Nurmengard be so aggressive?
Grindelwald waved his hand, and the bronze door of Nurmengard Castle engraved with fire dragons and phoenixes creaked open.
"The dinner is ready. Let's go to the warm room and give more welcome speeches."
He waved his hand, and the Nurmengard students behind him, who had been looking intently, stepped on the ground together. After a loud "thud" sound, all the students turned around neatly, and then started in an orderly manner.
He walked into the castle.
After all the Nurmengard students walked in, Professor McGonagall cast a look at several prefects and adjusted her pointed hat.
"Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, enter in order! Remember, stay calm."
The students looked at each other and became nervous unconsciously. They consciously arranged the team in a more orderly manner, and then walked towards the castle.
The castle in Nurmengard is obviously much more formidable than Hogwarts. All the buildings here are tall and precipitous, and the walls seem to be made of some kind of dark stone bricks.
Passing through the bronze gate, Sean was surprised to see that the interior of the castle was extremely spacious. The high-ceiling foyer required visitors to look up to see the gray-white ceiling.
There are no classical decorations here like Hogwarts. Except for a few murderous armors placed on the walls, there are no paintings or green plants.
The style inside the building is also simple and elegant. The red carpet on the stone corridor seems to have been just put up. Sean guessed it was probably to welcome the students of Hogwarts?
Following the brand new red carpet, they arrived in front of the auditorium. The door here was also made of bronze. In the center of the door knocker was the school emblem of Nurmengard, which is the phoenix and fire dragon surrounding the Deathly Hallows symbol.
When they stood still, the door slowly opened. On the door, the fire dragon and the phoenix were entangled and dancing. The Deathly Hallows was not divided into two halves by the open door. The triangle moved upward and then gradually disappeared, and the circle expanded to cover the entire door frame.
The range then slowly rotated there, and the vertical line in the center stayed in place and then stretched, turning into a slender door frame.
What's a little strange is that the vertical line is slightly tilted to the right, and the open door has a strange and irregular beauty.
As the Hogwarts students approached, the vertical line became straight again.
In the auditorium, students from Nurmengard were already sitting at the long tables. There were only two long tables in the auditorium. At the end, there was a professor's table like Hogwarts. The sharp-eyed Sean saw that the main seat was
It looks very similar to the chair Dumbledore sat on...
The Gryffindor little lions looked at each other, divided into two lines, and walked in with their heads held high.
The leader, Percy, gently crushed what Professor McGonagall had given him in his arms.
"Roar!" A deafening roar resounded throughout the entire auditorium, and a majestic lion appeared in front of the Gryffindor students. Its mane was a beating scarlet flame, and its eyes were blazing.
After running around in mid-air, the lion turned into dots of fire, and the coat of arms on the chests of the Gryffindor students' uniforms shone brightly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Cool..." On the long table on the right, a first-year student from Nurmengard sighed, and then was severely slapped by the people around him.
Rolled his eyes.
Behind the little lions, Hufflepuff also entered the Great Hall.
Similarly, a huge badger appeared. Its neck and face were covered with black and white patterns, its body was completely black, and its small eyes exuded a reassuring and steady light.
There was an khaki light shining and beating under its feet, and after it disappeared once it circled the field, the coat of arms on the chests of the uniforms of the Hufflepuff students also glowed.
Ravenclaw then entered.
After a crisp and penetrating eagle cry, the bronze giant eagle spread its wings and soared. It demonstrated its light and superb flying skills. Its tail feathers were filled with dark blue light, and those light particles spread throughout the auditorium.
After roaring again, the giant bronze eagle hit the ceiling directly, the light scattered, and Sean felt a slight chill on the crest on his chest.
Finally, the Slytherins strode in with their heads held high.
Every time they took a step, an eerie green light spread from the soles of their feet, and then a huge silver python appeared out of thin air.
The giant python made a low hissing sound, and its green eyes kept scanning everyone. It did not take off, but swam slowly on the ground. Suddenly, the giant python suddenly opened its huge mouth and turned back to bite Slytherin.
students.
The little snakes held their heads high and allowed the giant python to pass through their bodies and then turned into silver mist and got into their respective coats of arms.
After all the students from the four houses of Hogwarts were seated, Grindelwald clapped his hands gently and stood up.
"Amazing magic!" He clapped his hands gently with a warm smile on his face.
"I have always believed that wizards need to learn from each other in order to make progress - for example, I," Grindelwald smiled even more happily, "I learned some lovable qualities from the principal of your school, which is to speak less.
nonsense."
"Let us welcome you again to Hogwarts!"
There was a burst of loud but not enthusiastic applause in the auditorium.
Grindelwald applauded to the end. He looked at everyone and smiled and spread his hands: "Now, let us enjoy the dinner!"
On the long table, various delicacies appeared on the plates.
Nurmengard is indeed a school that accepts a wide range of students. It not only prepares English food to cater for Hogwarts students, but also has all kinds of food from all over Europe. Sean can even see some food from all over the world.
Sean took a piece of roast duck on the plate and was surprised to find that it tasted very authentic.
It seems that Nurmengard's enrollment scope is wider than he imagined...
The auditorium became lively, and English with various accents kept ringing in Sean's ears. He even heard neon special English - it was like a new language...
Next to him, Hermione was still observing the coat of arms on Daisy's chest, her face full of curiosity and desire for knowledge.
"What kind of magic is this? Is it a combination of multiple spells?" the girl muttered.
Daisy held out her chest and had a bitter look on her face.
"Hermione, haven't you seen enough? I'm so hungry..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, let's have dinner." Hermione reluctantly withdrew her gaze. She took some food at random, chewing and thinking.
Sean shook his head with a smile, Hermione loved learning too much...
However, the students at Hogwarts were all excitedly discussing what had just happened.
"That's so cool! Just for this one appearance, I accept the shame this time."
"Idiot, you just want to embarrass yourself with such a cool way of showing up?"
"That's right, we can't embarrass our college and Hogwarts!"
Sure enough, outfit ratio is one of the constant needs of human beings of all ages. Appropriate and high-end outfit ratio can effectively stimulate people's positive emotions.
Sean chatted with his friends while tasting various delicacies. After everyone was full, desserts were served again. Sean took a cup of Nepalese milk tea and took a few sips.
Well, the aroma is very strong, but not as good as stockings milk tea... After taking a few sips, Sean looked up at the teacher's desk.
Coincidentally, Grindelwald, who was holding a wine glass, also looked over. He raised his glass to Sean, and then winked.
Sean had no choice but to raise his milk tea cup and nod, then quickly retracted his head.
Although Dumbledore said that Grindelwald had no ill intentions towards him, Sean always felt that this old man who didn't like to follow rules and was very good at turning heads was a dangerous person.
Well, to be honest, Sean is really a little afraid of Grindelwald. This old man doesn't play by the rules and always plays tricks.
What he didn't notice was that on the long table on the right, there was a brown-haired boy staring at Sean gloomily.
"Bach, is that guy cheating on your brother?" a girl next to the boy asked casually.
"Hmph," the boy known as Bach licked his lips, "Although he is my brother, he is too stupid... However, the honor of the Hoffman family must be maintained by someone."
The girl raised the corner of her mouth a little, playfully: "But the professors won't allow you to do this - don't look at me, I'm not interested in helping, and I don't want to go to the dungeon a second time."
Bach raised his eyebrows: "I'm not as stupid as my brother... We still have half a semester to 'get along'..."
Sean, who was drinking milk tea, suddenly received an idea from Dave.
"Sean, that thing you put there with me is starting to spin and shine."
"That's it, I understand."
Sean placed the high-precision speculum in Dave's nest, which was the inner pocket of his uniform. However, there were many people in Nurmengard who were hostile to him, so the speculum probably had to be rotated every day...
…
Of course, Sean hopes that those who come to trouble him will be smarter and not do any disgusting things. If he is pushed into a hurry, Sean will go to Grindelwald to complain.
When the last bit of dessert disappeared, Grindelwald stood up again.
"While your open bellies haven't made you sleepy yet, I want to say a few things - mainly to our new guests."
"In Nurmengard, you are not allowed to enter the basement level without the permission of the teacher, and the same is true for the top floor of the castle. Starting tomorrow, children of Hogwarts, you will follow the students of our school to attend classes normally."
"There are no points or deductions in Nurmengard, but we have personal daily evaluation points. If you fail, there will be a small penalty at the end of the semester - don't look at me like that, kids, your principal agrees with me.
"
"We will communicate the evaluation criteria to you later."
"In addition, all areas of Nurmengard's library are open around the clock. Likewise, the dueling classroom and infirmary are on call for you around the clock."
At this time, the students at Hogwarts couldn't help but whisper.
Grindelwald smiled and continued: "Now, choose one male and female from each grade of Hogwarts to come to my office as a student representative, and I will hand over the Nurmengard School Rules to you."
He seemed to be just informing people, and continued to talk to himself before the students could speak: "For first graders, you, you..."
The tip of Grindelwald's wand pulsed with light, and before the two first-year students could react, the symbols of the fire dragon and the phoenix appeared around the coat of arms on the chests of their uniforms.
