All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 1101 One Night

A few days later, the renovation and expansion projects of Hogwarts were completed one after another, and as part of the project was completed, the construction speed became faster and faster, because the vacated dementors were put into the construction of other projects. .

Harris Castle, which stands on the island in the middle of the Black Lake, has also been successfully completed. From a distance, the clear lake, lush forests, and the castle standing on the water are as beautiful as a fantasy, adding another scenery to Hogwarts.

In the expansion area of ​​Hogwarts, Allen accompanied a group of principals and members of the International Animagus Symposium who came at his invitation to visit the new school.

After the new commercial square connected to the huge temple of Ravenclaw in the south of Hogwarts came out, especially Igor Karkaroff, he was not shy about his praise. He completely ignored the scale of the new square. It is too large and seems deserted because of the fact that no one has moved in yet, but he keeps praising its hugeness: "Hogwarts is now truly the number one magic school in the world, both in terms of scale and teaching quality..." Speaking of this card Karloff seemed to realize that he was a bit too shameless to say this as the principal of Durmstrang, so he coughed dryly, "In fact, I think its scale now should be regarded as the only one in our wizarding world that truly belongs to us wizards." The city...the wizarding settlements in villages and towns now are nothing compared to this university town."

"It reminds me of a town in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria, where many wizards live. It is the town of Hallstatt on the shores of Lake Hallstatt. The Black Lake is just like that. , the mountain peaks and the crystal clear lake here have turned this place into a paradise on earth... Is there a hotel by the lake? I plan to stay for a day or two before leaving... If Muggles can see this place, it will be named the most beautiful town in the world. The number is about to be changed to Hogwarts." And Mrs. Olim Maxim obviously has a better impression of the residential area by the river. The wizards' houses inspired the Frenchman's design aspirations. After learning about the house of Hagrid, who was the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts, and taking a few glances at it, she decided to completely demolish the house that was almost on the edge of his Forbidden Forest after her relationship with Hagrid got closer. A replica of the log cabin.

"Principal Harris, as part of your responsibilities, I must remind you that the expanded range has increased so much from the original basis. If the Muggle expulsion spell cannot be completely covered, it is likely that Muggles will break into it. If it is not eliminated in time, The memory of Muggles will be exposed to the wizarding world." Babajide Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, reminded in a stiff tone, his eyes have been observing various details of the expansion of Hogwarts.

Abaginder didn't say much until he brought up the topic of Muggles. He felt particularly confused about Allen's invitation to attend this International Animagus Symposium, because he had been forced to report to the British government since last time. After the public apology, the relationship between the two parties theoretically dropped to a freezing point. The current issue of Animagus transformation has nothing to do with him, but due to the other party's previous arrogant behavior, after Allen's invitation this time, he After thinking over and over again, he accepted the invitation to prevent Allen from taking advantage of the opportunity and causing trouble.

"Thank you for the reminder, please rest assured, President Abakinder..." Allen, who had changed his arrogant tone at the Federation meeting, had a very gentle tone today, "The area around Hogwarts was originally subject to Muggle expulsion. Curse, and now we've expanded this area so it's even more inaccessible to ordinary Muggles... They can't see what Hogwarts looks like."

This left Abaginder completely confused. Faced with his tentative warning, Allen's attitude towards him was still so friendly, as if the previous discord at the International Federation of Wizards meetings did not exist at all.

James Maxwell, the reporter from Today's Transfiguration who was invited, raised his head and said: "Principal Harris, I know that Muggles can only see a pile of dilapidated ruins, and there is a sign at the entrance that says "Danger, No Entry, Unsafe." The brand... I also know that your magic academy has been enchanted so it cannot be marked in any way... But now there is a hidden danger." The old scholar paused, "I remember that in the past, Muggle electronic instruments and equipment could not be stored in the hall. If used by Gwarts, it will be automatically damaged, because the surroundings of Hogwarts are full of strong magical energy, which will cause strong interference to electronic devices. However, if the school is now expanded to such a distance, Muggles may use them. Risk detected by Muggle machines."

"That's true, but this problem will be solved after the International Animagus Symposium is over." Allen smiled gently at the old scholar, "However, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being. This is a Surprise...I will reveal it to you later."

Seeing that Allen seemed to be in a particularly happy mood today, everyone was infected by him and the surrounding environment, and many people also smiled.

Abaginder stared at Allen suspiciously, and followed him to lead the guests to visit the renovated and expanded Hogwarts. After experiencing the hugeness and luxury here, he felt that he had found his direction. He thought this person in front of him was annoying. The guy just found an excuse to let him come over to listen to him show off the renovated and expanded Hogwarts.

Gusderian Tutli, a representative of the Animagus International Symposium, rubbed his fingers and was not in the mood to visit the school. As a member of the Animagus International Symposium, he also originally registered Animagus in Allen. One of the only seven wizards in the world, his animal form is a gerbil, which looks somewhat similar to his long face.

Gusderian Tutli has been paying close attention to Allen since the end of last semester when he learned that Allen was going to widely carry out Animagus transformation among students, so when Allen was going to hold this meeting When the invitation to the meeting was sent to him, he left immediately and was the first guest to arrive at Hogwarts.

But at this time, Tutli had been following Allen all morning. He could no longer restrain his curiosity and came to Allen's side. "Principal Harris, you are going to hold an international symposium on Animagus. Let's Why don't we get down to business quickly? It won't be too late for us to visit this great wizarding school later."

"Mr. Tutley, please don't be anxious. Students still need to prepare. Members of the British Ministry of Magic have not arrived at Hogwarts yet. They will register the young wizards on site later..." Alan spoke slowly and slowly. , "Mr. Tutli, if you are tired, how about I arrange for you and Mr. James Maxwell to take a rest first? The Three Broomsticks provided us with a lot of cold drinks today..."

"No, no need to bother, Principal Harris, you can continue to lead the way." The old man James Maxwell seemed to be very energetic. Seeing his reply, Tutli could only suppress his excitement and continue to visit with everyone.

Leaving the square located south of Hogwarts next to the Black Lake and walking towards the west, the group, led by Alan, entered the elementary school of Hogwarts in the forest. This seemingly brightly colored castle was where children were playing and playing. The noise of the noise suddenly filled their ears.

In the square, an adult wizard led a group of too-young children to shuttle between various fairy tale sculptures, and organized the children to play games. Several children were cast into a bubble by the wizard teacher and crashed into the sky outside the castle. Bump away.

He stretched out his hand to stop the faculty and staff who wanted to come over to say hello. After Allen and the guests entered the castle, the slightly older wizards in the classroom showed a more orderly classroom. The gray translucent ghost professor in the room faced a group of children. The wizard used his boring voice to tell the history of magic according to the script. What he talked about today seemed to be the wizard version of Professor Binns from the story collection of One Thousand and One Nights. This ghost who looked extremely old was under the influence of Allen's several confusion spells. , and did not realize that his teaching location was no longer at Hogwarts.

"That's Professor Binns, right? I remember he was the Professor of History of Magic at Hogwarts...my students told me before the Triwizard Tournament that they didn't seem to like...well, I mean they all liked him. It's for class." Karkaroff wiped his sweat and sneered.

"Don't worry, dear Igor, Professor Binns's courses are indeed more suitable for teaching primary school students. Compared with older wizards, these children who have not yet been exposed to magic are obviously more interested in the history of magic..." Allen Looking through the transparent glass window of the classroom, Penelo's nominal apprentice, the little girl Patricia, is sitting in the first row of this classroom, her chin resting on her arms, listening very seriously.

"Oh... is that member Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart?" Mrs. Maxim's voice rose slightly.

Everyone followed Principal Beauxbatons' line of sight. At this time, a ghost with its head stuck out from the wall and its lower body exposed somewhat inelegantly was floating not far away from them. It was obviously peeking at the students in this teacher's room. The situation of our class. When he heard someone calling his name outside the wall, the male ghost quickly retreated from the wall. He was none other than Gilderoy Lockhart, who had just become the ghost of Ravenclaw's new school.

"Oh, hello, ladies and gentlemen... I'm just a little curious about the teaching methods in elementary schools." Gilderoy Lockhart showed his signature handsome smile to everyone, and winked and explained that he didn't want to be He acts as a voyeur to spy on children, but it's obvious that he has just become a ghost and has not fully adapted to his new life. Now that he is in a state, no one would regard him as a pervert.

Madame Maxime waved gracefully with a smile, and she introduced to the disdainful guests around her, "Mr. Lockhart has recently published a new book called Breaking with the Death Eaters, which tells the story of the story he brought from the Death Eater headquarters The story of a Muggle child escaping. This is his own real experience. Principal Harris also wrote a preface to testify for him... After reading this book, I admire him... It is nothing to be able to change evil and become a real hero. Easy things.”

This long-lost compliment made Lockhart's signature smile look more natural, showing off his eight teeth perfectly.

"In fact, the little Muggle girl Mr. Lockhart saved is attending class inside. She is a wizard. I think he was paying attention to the child he saved just now." Allen twitched the corner of his mouth and agreed, then He looked at Madame Maxime calmly. This book had only been on the market for a few days. Due to Gilderoy's reputation as a liar throughout the magical world, sales were not very good for the time being. Basically, some die-hard female book fans were supporting him. And Madame Maxime actually finished reading it so quickly. It seems that Madame Maxime, who has always been rational and elegant, is also a hidden fan of Lockhart's books.

"Speaking of this, Principal Harris, I'm curious, what courses are set up for children in the elementary schools of Hogwarts?" Mrs. Maxim paused, "Please forgive me for being abrupt, Ellen, I'm just As a reminder, regarding the lessons for these little wizards who are under ten years old, please do not arrange for them to use magic. Their current magic power is unstable and they are prone to riots and unexpected dangers.
