Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh evil nemesis Elena
The rest of the afternoon was uneventful, with no quarrels.
In the long-standing proverbs of mankind, there is such a sentence-there is only a tired cow, and there is no plowed land.
The two newly added courses are not an unbearable burden for the young wizards of Hogwarts. After a brief complaint, the students who gradually accepted the reality soon found their own fun in it.
Needless to say, Mr. Alexei obviously underestimated the little wizards' tendency to gossip.
In less than half a day, the news that Hogwarts is expected to hold joint activities with other magic schools next year has spread to every corner of Hogwarts, and some "Guiding Lights" have added a little detail.
Finally, without even the explanations and explanations from the professors, the students relied on their efforts to unearth and piece together the "truth of the event" in the library.
Theoretically, any place that teaches magic, regardless of its size, can be called a magic school.
However, just like in the non-magical world, the Ministry of Education of each country will evaluate and grade the qualifications of each university.
In the wizarding world, there is also a similar management organization - the International Federation of Wizards Education Department, a subsidiary department of the International Federation of Wizards, is responsible for supervising magic schools around the world and reviewing whether they have the qualifications of large schools.
As of now, including Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a total of eleven long-standing and prestigious wizarding schools have been registered with the International Federation of Wizards. Any wizarding family who wishes to know whether there is a certified wizarding school in the area
, you can use Owl to write to the Department of Education to inquire, and submit your admission application form independently.

As for the remaining magic schools, they are either unwilling to expose themselves or have insufficient qualifications, so they cannot pass the minimum review standards of the International Federation of Wizards Education Department and can only exist as magic training institutions rather than formal schools.
Based on the information "inadvertently" leaked by Mr. Alexei, the students quickly targeted two schools.
The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France and the Kodostoriz School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Russia have indeed jointly organized many inter-school competitions with Hogwarts in history.
When we had dinner in the evening, almost everyone was talking about this matter, except...
"So, what event are we going to hold next year? Professor Dumbledore?"
Minerva McGonagall turned her head and looked at the old wizard beside her with confusion.
In just such an afternoon, at least ten Gryffindor students were trying to get some information from her, but the most important thing was that as the vice-principal of Hogwarts, she had no choice but to
No news!
"One of the versions I heard was the Wizarding School Potions Championship, but unfortunately, as the Potions Professor at Hogwarts, I also didn't receive any news. Maybe we should ask Professor Dumbledore
?”
Severus Snape said with a gloomy expression, his eyes also staying on Dumbledore's face.
Around the fifteenth century, such a competition was held between the four magic schools of Hogwarts, Kodosdorizzi, the Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Waggadu. The winning school would receive a golden crucible--unfortunately
, until the end of the last Potions Championship, Hogwarts never won a championship, which is almost a shame in the history of Hogwarts Potions.
"It can't be the Triwizard Tournament, right? With Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?"
Madam Pomfrey, the medical director of the school, frowned and asked worriedly, "If this can be used to build friendships between young wizards from different countries, this is indeed an activity worth trying, but safety is still a big problem after all."
Although the source of the news first came from the "squib mathematics professor" Alexei, for the professors at Hogwarts, the way to obtain the final information is obviously to hear Dumbledore directly.
Professor's explanation.
After all, as a "Muggle? Squib", that gentleman's only information channel about magic is Dumbledore.
"Ah this——"
Dumbledore blinked his blue eyes, and the golden goblet he just raised stopped in mid-air.
In fact, he only heard this news from Bai Mao Tuanzi a few weeks ago.
As for most of the communication with the Ministry of Magic and the contact and consultation with several other schools, it is also done by Professor "Oh no Dumbledore". All he needs to do is to wait until the project is finalized and conduct final review and inspection.
Take it one step at a time to see if it needs to be redone, or simply veto it with one vote - this is why he delegates power confidently and boldly.
It's just... Logically speaking, isn't it quite early before the final time?!
"There are many aspects involved in this matter, many of which are still in the discussion stage..."
Dumbledore thought for a moment, considered his words, and replied rather helplessly.
"As for the specific results, I will give you a unified explanation and explanation after I get the exact answer from the relevant people tonight. Before that, the students' questions will not be answered for the time being-"
Compared with the cooperation between schools that will not start until after Christmas at the earliest, at least in Dumbledore's view, Hogwarts' curriculum reform this year and the performance of the new professors are the most important at the moment.
things.
Not to mention, at this time, outside the gate of Hogwarts, the "Hogwarts Academy City" is gradually taking shape; and in the sky above the castle, there is still an absurdly large steel island floating;
In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets a few kilometers below Hogwarts Castle, there is also a basilisk that may wake up at any time...
After teaching at Hogwarts for most of his life, Albus Dumbledore experienced for the first time the difficulty of the job of headmaster.
And the culprit that caused all this...
Dumbledore thought of this and subconsciously raised his head to look at the long table of Ravenclaw Academy.
As if feeling his gaze, Elena Kaslana suddenly stopped talking to the girls around her, raised her head and quickly looked at Dumbledore, and at the same time smiled and raised a cup filled with juice in her hand.
I bowed my cup in a false bow.
"Tonight, don't forget-" Elena said slowly and silently.
Looking at the mouth shape of that "black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket", Dumbledore hesitated slightly, and instantly felt a little tightness in his chest, and his head, which had been slightly swollen and aching due to the questions from the professors around him, hurt a little more.
It is simply a sin!
Following Elena's prompt, he suddenly remembered that today's highlight had not yet begun.
Ever since the third generation Dark Lord arrived at Hogwarts, the first day of school has never been peaceful.
The only consolation is that after a year of growth, Elena Troublemaker Kaslana is no longer limited to causing trouble among Hogwarts students - her wings are strong enough to
It shocked most of the European wizarding world.
"Hey, everyone, let me have a good dinner first..."
Dumbledore sighed and looked at the unfinished grilled red snapper in front of him with a melancholy look on his face.
Perhaps it was because he didn't make things difficult for the little guy during this period. After the Hogwarts chef returned, his meals looked pretty good, not the bland salt-controlled healthy meals last year.
Different from the common pan-fried fish with coarse salt, this fish is seasoned with Ravenclaw lemon juice.
This slightly sweet and sour taste of Thai cuisine is very suitable for elderly people like Dumbledore.
The skin of the sea bream grilled by the magic flame is extremely crispy, without any greasy taste from frying. The sea bream meat is soft, tender and juicy. The white fish meat cut into cubes is a little dazzling under the light. Scattered basil leaves and small yellow flowers are dotted on the processed meat.
On the surface of the snapper skin, Nanyang-style spicy sauce is arranged in the shape of a small fish. When it is placed on the corner of the plate, you can't help but whet your appetite.
In addition, whether it is the palm sugar shrimp balls as an appetizer, the lemongrass beef tongue roll, or the mango macaron as the dessert, or even the soup that uses ox blood as the stock, it is repeatedly cooked.
, all are first-class exquisite.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore today is not the "happy Hogwarts Headmaster" he was a year ago.
Based on his understanding of the white-haired dumpling, the more she behaves well-behaved and the more she enhances the pleasure brought by delicious food in these places, the more exciting things she may ask for or do in the future will be
Worry and fear.
However, with Gellert Grindelwald, Newt Scamander, Xenophilius Lovegood... and even Nico Flamel, Paracelsus... these
After wizards with huge influence in the magical world gathered around the little devil for various reasons, the current situation was no longer controllable by Dumbledore alone.
The only thing worth celebrating is...
Dumbledore forked the fish with a melancholy look on his face, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, thinking about his future arrangements.
"Fortunately, Tom is here. If there are so many goals, it should be enough for this little girl to struggle for a long time. As for the future, if we arrange a few more large-scale international events every year, we should still be able to delay the handover work...
Bar?"
While Dumbledore was tasting the delicious dinner, he looked thoughtfully at the professors on the faculty seats.
As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he has been in this castle for too long.
Perhaps, as Nicolás Flamel suggested a few years ago, he should try to offload his burdens and hand them over to talented successors, such as Minerva McGonagall and Severus
Snape is a very good choice.
Even if we put aside the knowledge and teaching attitude of these two people, according to Dumbledore's observations in the past year, these two people should be one of the very few teachers in this school who are likely to be able to cure the little girl... Moreover, if
If he remembered correctly, when he first brought Elena to Hogwarts Castle, these two professors were also involved.
Of course, before that, he first had to accompany Elena to solve a few small historical issues.
Whether from the perspective of the principal of Hogwarts or from the perspective of the guardian of the magical world, this is a problem that he must solve - to properly deal with those who were scattered in this world because of his temporary soft-heartedness.
