A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Southern France, Pyrenees.

Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is hidden in the mountains and ravines, surrounded by magnificent magic gardens and antifreeze fountains, and has stood here for more than seven hundred years.

'The British Ministry of Magic's response to the riots at the Quidditch World Cup has yet to come up with a satisfactory response, leading us to wonder if they can take on the important task of hosting a vital ancient Tournament...

The following is a reprint of some of the views of the British "Daily Prophet" for this newspaper - the Ministry of Magic (Note: this refers to the United Kingdom, not France) is indulged in the imaginary of peace and cannot extricate itself, and has lost enough vigilance. Wizards are on the loose, the Ministry of Magic (note: ibid.) has long since become fragile, like a shambling old man walking towards the grave, we desperately need fresh blood to join us...

...

It is not difficult to see that British wizards have also lost confidence in their own Ministry of Magic. Perhaps, in this year's event, they will see the style from France.

It is worth mentioning that the sorcerer Felix Hepp, who shines in this crisis, is at the pride of France at this time - Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he intersects with the headmaster Ms. Olim Maxime Mo Ni, and accepted the invitation to visit the school. He is also one of the trustees of Beauxbatons, and it is reported that he will participate in the selection of warrior candidates...'

Felix closed the French Journal of Magic and muttered, "It's all bullshit, the school hasn't started here yet." He put the newspaper aside and concentrated on his breakfast - croissants, orange juice, fruit platter and small biscuit.

As the newspaper said, on the day of the Quidditch World Cup, he accepted the invitation of Mrs. Maxime to visit Beauxbatons School. Although the school has not yet opened, it is not without students. Some are interested in Students running for Tournament Warriors apply for retention.

The news on the French side is relatively open, unlike the United Kingdom, which covers up the news so closely, so these students have the first-hand gossip, true or false.

Rumor has it that the number of Warriors at each school may vary, not one, but four. When the students discussed at the square table, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes. A little girl solemnly retorted that, in fact, each school would send a team of three to participate in the project.

But in any case, many people's minds are alive. If there is only one candidate, most students will give up, but as long as there is a second possibility, many people feel that their hope is instantly increased tenfold.

So every Beauxbatons student Felix sees now is a warrior seed in the competition, a real elite.

It is also reported that the headmaster of Ilvermorny suggested that a five-school exhibition match be held before the names of the candidates are put into the Goblet of Fire, so that the others would not be in vain. This proposal was won by Vaga The strong support of the degree - their school has too many students, it is said that the number of people who signed up in the school alone exceeded 1,000!

And Vagado has more students than the three magic schools in Europe combined.

Among the three schools, Hogwarts has the smallest number of students, because it mainly recruits qualified students from the United Kingdom, and other places are not not accepted, but they basically do not take the initiative to send invitations; and most of the students at Beauxbatons are from France. , there are also a small number of young wizards from Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. As for Durmstrang in Northern Europe, the range of students also spans more than one country, such as Germany and Bulgaria.

But when it comes to the most famous school in Europe, the first thing that comes to mind in the world is Hogwarts, especially for nearly half a century, Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, has used his own power to intimidate the two To replace the Dark Lord, and to defeat and imprison one of them, has pushed this prestige to new heights.

...

The dining table in the Beauxbatons Auditorium is very characteristic. It is a square and large dining table. Each side can accommodate five or six students. The dining table is decorated with exquisite gold and blue patterns, and the center of the dining table is a vertical decoration like a candlestick. Draped clusters of flowers.

Not far from the square dining table, opposite Felix, two of Beauxbatons' students have been watching him quietly.

They whispered in French, "...You're a school manager at such a young age..."

"I heard that he is the heir to Mr. Nick Lemay."

"Why is his hair black?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Mr. Nick Lemay had brown hair when he was young. I have seen his portrait... The last name doesn't match. Could it be his distant nephew?"

"Or a relative on Ms. Perenal's side?" they chattered, louder and louder.

"Be quiet!" said one of them, and they looked around for a while, and saw that Felix was unresponsive to the conversation between them, studying the various fruit jams on the table, smearing one by one on the bread to try the taste, loose He sighed, "Maybe he doesn't understand French."

Then they talked about the topic of the competition——

"How's your magic going?"

"It's so-so, the professors have found the most frequently played spells in the previous competitions, let's use them for reference, I only mastered one third..."

"That's not bad. Professor Sanchez said that my reaction is always half a beat slower than others, and I have little hope of being selected." The girl said sadly.

At this time, a girl walked towards Felix lightly and said in French, "Mr. Hepp, Madame Maxime invites you to the professors' afternoon tea party."

"Thank you." Felix said in standard French, he stood up and bowed slightly to the two stunned girls next to him, "As for your previous question, the answer is: Nick and I are not related by blood, I just inherited His alchemy."

...

"Hello, my name is Fleur, Fleur Delacour." The girl who led the way walked in front and turned back. She had long silver hair like a waterfall.

"Hello, Miss Delacour, I've heard your name quite a few times these days."

"I hope it's not a bad reputation. I can't get along with those girls. They complain that I stole their limelight!" Furong shook her long hair, and bright arcs jumped on the surface of her silver hair.

"They think you're the Warriors' first choice."

"Oh, that's the truth." Fleur said confidently, "I will definitely be a warrior."

Beauxbatons was like a palace complex. The two walked between the exquisite suites, the promenade and the side hall. Felix stopped for a moment at the rune horse kept in the garden.

They have beautiful silver manes, each the size of an elephant.

"This is a rune horse. It has beautiful lines, especially its mane. I think it is the most beautiful among the four kinds of Pegasus. They are very strong. When the time comes, they will pull the school carriage across the strait and mountains." Furong showed off. say.

Felix nodded slightly, "Mrs. Maxime introduced me to her, she said that there are many kinds of spells on the carriage, especially the concealment spell and the floating spell."

Madame Maxime was waiting in a French aristocratic parlor. When Felix appeared, she stood up to welcome him, and a dozen French professors also stood up.

"Mr. Hepp, sit here—thank you, dear," she said to Fleur, who walked briskly away.

Madame Maxime introduced Felix: "This is Professor Sanchez, who is in charge of spell training for students in the summer. This is Le Maire, she is in charge of potions, this is Boyer, who is in charge of herbal medicine and Alchemy is very good... Honestly, I don't know if alchemical items are allowed, but it's better to prepare in advance."

Felix nodded and smiled at them. "I talked to Professor Boyer, and his alchemy skills are amazing."

Boyer, a thin old professor with white hair, said tremblingly: "These words should be passed on to Professor Hepp as is. All kinds of ancient magical creations are numerous, and they have solved many of my problems."

The professor named Sanchez couldn't wait to ask: "Professor Hepp, what do you think of Beauxbatons' students? I heard that Hogwarts is not preparing for summer training. Is it certain that we will win?"

"There is indeed a bit of confidence, but—" Felix looked at the others, "This class is different from the past, with a new school joining, I guess the difficulty of the competition will be much higher."

"That's right," Sanchez nodded and scratched his red beard. As one of the professors in charge of the students' summer training, his subjects were similar to Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he deliberately collected relevant information. .

At this moment, he said with confidence: "The difficulty will definitely be adjusted. After all, we have to take into account the performance of other schools, but it is hard to say whether it will increase or decrease. For the first time, it is estimated that everyone has little experience. familiar……"

He asked tentatively, "Ilvermorny and Vagado are aggressive, does Hogwarts have any countermeasures?"

The other professors were stunned for a while, and then stared at Felix, who shook his head: "I don't know much about other schools, the only thing I can do is to improve the ability of the students in this school. I'm more optimistic about some people, they Has huge potential..."

"That's what I said..." Sanchez was a little unwilling, "But you can't be the first time the top five competition, and the outsider will take the championship, right?"

The other professors nodded secretly. Although the words were a bit xenophobic, the three schools belonged to Europe after all, and were vaguely regarded as an alliance. Although there was competition between them, they actually had a good relationship.

But if Ilvermorny or Vagado wins the championship in the end, it will undoubtedly be a very humiliating thing for wizards throughout Europe. These people will also be scolded and unable to lift their heads.

Felix glanced at it for a week and said lightly: "Hogwarts has gone through thousands of years since its inception, and has experienced countless challenges, but no one can defeat it, so there is the motto - Sleeping Dragons Don't Disturb. I believe it will be the same this time."
