Just as Rove said, this half-giant lady has a very handsome olive face, a pair of black and large watery eyes, and a very pointed nose.
Her hair was combed back and tied into a shiny bun at the base of her neck. She was wrapped in a black satin dress from head to toe, with many luxurious opals shining on her neck and thick fingers.
"It seems that Hagrid is going to marry a rich woman, and a beautiful rich woman."
"This sounds so weird."
"Hahaha, there is a point, and it is actually difficult for the two of them to get together."
While Rolf and Luna were discussing the gossip about the headmistress and Hagrid, Dumbledore had already taken the lead and started clapping to welcome the guests. The students also lined up to clap with him, while Madam Maxime originally
The tense Lian also relaxed and opened an elegant smile.
She stretched out a hand that was sparkling because of the gem she wore and walked towards Dumbledore. When Dumbledore saw this, he immediately came over and lowered his head to kiss the back of the headmistress' hand.
Even though Dumbledore was already very tall, he almost didn't bend down when he kissed this hand. Because the other person was so tall, almost only Hagrid could compare with her.
"Dear Mrs. Maxim, welcome to Hogwarts."
"Thank you, Dumbledore, I hope everything is well with you. This is my student."
After a simple greeting, Madam Maxime introduced her students to Dumbledore again. This time she brought a total of twelve or thirteen male and female students, all of whom were the best students in Beauxbatons.
"These are great kids."
"Is Karkaroff here?"
"He will arrive at any time. Would you like to wait here to greet him, or would you rather go in first to warm up?"
"It's better to keep warm, but those horses..."
"Our Care of Magical Creatures teachers will be happy to look after them."
"My horses are not something that ordinary people can take good care of. They have very fierce tempers..."
"I want you to guarantee that our magical beasts teacher Hagrid is fully qualified for this job."
"Very well, can you tell this Hagrid that these horses only drink single malt whiskey?"
"I will."
After saying that, the two bowed slightly to each other, and then Madam Maxime led her students through the passage dodged by the crowd at Hogwarts and up the stone steps.
Shortly after Mrs. Maxim led her students into the auditorium, Rolf heard a lot of noise coming from the Black Lake of Hogwarts.
It was a suppressed rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant moving along the river bed. In fact, it was true. The originally calm surface of the Black Lake began to bloom with huge splashes, and the waves hit the wet lake shore.
.
Finally, a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the black lake, as if the plug of a huge toilet was suddenly pulled out from its bottom.
Then an extraordinary large ship was flushed out of the toilet mouth and onto the surface of the Black Lake. The original large whirlpool disappeared after the large ship surfaced.
The ship was emitting a strange light under the moonlight, and Rolf knew that it was its own magic at work. Then the ship began to sail toward the shore, and finally an iron anchor fixed it on the shore of the Black Lake. When the big boat stopped, a wooden plank was placed on the shore of the lake. Then Durmstrang's students began to line up to get off the boat, led by their principal Karkaroff.
"Dumbledore! My dear old man, how are you?"
Before Mrs. Karkaro arrived, his voice of greeting came over first. At this time, he was wearing a silver and smooth shawl and holding a cane, but he still lacked a sense of solemnity and majesty.
Therefore, his behavior was actually quite funny to Rove. However, he would not say it out loud, as if Dumbledore still squeezed out a smile to welcome Karkaroff.
"Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff."
However, facing Dumbledore's 'welcome', although Karkaroff had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, only coldness and indifference.
But soon, this coldness and indifference turned into panic and fear, because a mark on his body that had been silent for a long time now started to become hot and hot.
Fortunately, this change only occurred for a moment, as if it was a warning to him. So he was able to quickly adjust his expression and posture without showing any signs of weakness in front of everyone.
"Professor Karkaroff, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ah? Yes, it's a little bit. It's really cold here. Not only me, but Victor also has a cold. We need to go in and warm up quickly. I think you won't mind, right?"
"Of course not, please."
Following Dumbledore's invitation gesture, Karkaroff led Durmstrang's students through the queue of Hogwarts students, climbed the stone steps and entered the auditorium.
The students of Hogwarts followed closely behind the guests and entered the warm hall with them. After waiting outside in the cold for so long, many of them were frozen. p>
However, many people no longer care about this, because they discovered that in the middle of Durmstrang's academy, there is Krum, the strongest chaser in the Quidditch World Cup.
"Oh, I can't believe it, I don't have a quill on me -"
"Do you think he will sign my hat with lipstick?"
Especially those girls who are chasing stars, they almost lose their minds and fall into madness. Of course, these people do not include Hermione and Luna.
"Those girls were crazy, they looked like they were going to eat him."
"Isn't it the same for those boys? I hope the situation will improve when the game starts. Otherwise, the Hogwarts Warriors will lose most of their supporters before the Triwizard Tournament begins."<
/p>
"But I will still support him, not some big star."
"He? What if the Hogwarts Warrior is a girl?"
"But you are not a girl."
"Okay, I guess you're right."
While Rolf and Luna were whispering, Dumbledore also took Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxime to sit down in their respective seats.
When the principals of the three schools appeared, the auditorium gradually became quiet. Then Dumbledore stood up again, looked at everyone and said:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests. It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will be here
