Dumbledore, who was still smiling, let out an exclamation, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps to help Ms. Maxim up.
"Ms. Maxim, are you not injured?" He asked with concern.
"I have nothing to do," Ms. Maxim stood up, forced a smile, "Long time no see, Dumbledore, I really made you laugh."
After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to lift the boy who was crushed by her, and said a few words to him in a low voice in French, probably to apologize to him, and the boy waved his hand in fear, Then he retreated respectfully behind Ms. Maxim.
After pulling up the boy, Ms. Maxim looked at the group of rune horses that caused trouble, and saw them shaking their heads and snorting, as if they didn't know what happened.
At this time, others also saw Ms. Maxim's appearance clearly.
Unlike Hagrid's rugged appearance, Ms. Maxim has a handsome face that doesn't match her figure, a pair of black, big watery eyes, and a pointed nose. . Her hair was combed back in a shining chignon at the base of her neck, and she was wrapped from head to toe in a black satin dress, with many rich opals gleaming around her neck and thick fingers.
"Maybe it's because my steed has just arrived in a new place, and I'm still a little uncomfortable." Ms. Maxim, who couldn't see the reason, could only guess like this.
"Ahem" Dumbledore, who had also guessed the reason, coughed dryly twice, nodded in agreement and said, "Well, don't worry, our Professor of Protection of Magical Creatures will definitely be able to take good care of them. Trouble comes back, and it's his well some other thing he's supposed to take care of has gone awry."
What Dumbledore said was really a bomb-tailed snail. As the thing got bigger and bigger, they became more and more violent. Several students have been blown into the infirmary, whether it is a student or Madam Pomfrey , all have a lot of opinions on some "cute little things".
"My steeds needwella lot of strength to take care of them," said Madam Maxime, as if doubting that Hogwarts' Care of Fantastic Beasts teacher would be up to the job. "They're very temperamental "
"I assure you, Hagrid is perfectly capable of doing the job well." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Very good," said Ms. Maxime, bowing slightly, "Can you tell this Hagrid that these horses only drink single malt whiskey?"
"I'll take care of it," said Dumbledore, also bowing.
While the two were talking, twelve or thirteen male and female students got off the carriage, and they stood behind Ms. Maxim together with the first boy in an orderly and quiet manner. They wore robes made of silk, shivering in the night wind.
"My student." After exchanging greetings with Dumbledore, Ms. Maxim casually waved her hand back and asked again, "Is Karkaroff here?"
"He will come at any time," Dumbledore glanced at the group of students, then turned around with a smile, and shouted to the cat who was still pretending to be well-behaved: "Fish, come and do me a favor."
He pointed to the group of Beauxbaton's students.
"No problem meow!"
Fish also knew that he probably couldn't hide it from Professor McGonagall, so he was eager to do something to atone for his crime.
The white halo flashed again, engulfing Ms. Maxim and Beauxbaton's students.
Mao Mao's spell once again aroused amazement. Ms. Maxim looked at Fish curiously. Fish shook his ears and returned her with a big smile.
"Vela?"
Ms. Maxim immediately thought of her most proud student.
Dumbledore smiled and did not answer, but directly changed the subject: "Would you like to wait here for Karkaroff, or would you like to take a rest first?"
When Dumbledore mentioned Karkaroff, Ms. Maxim didn't lift her eyelids. She replied flatly: "Let's go in and have a rest first. Please take care of my horse."
"Of course." Dumbledore bowed again and said.
Ms. Maxim nodded, then turned around and waved to her students, and said in a majestic voice: "Come on."
So the Hogwarts crowd cleared a passage for her and her students to walk up the stone steps.
When Ms. Maxim passed by, she took a deep look at Fisch, and Beauxbaton's students basically all set their eyes on Mao Mao, especially his pair of trembling and trembling.?The cat ears are so eye-catching.
Fish twitched his nose slightly, and whispered to Hermione, "She smells like Hagrid's."
"What?" Hermione didn't quite understand what Maomao meant.
"Fisch couldn't tell. The smells of the two of them are obviously very different, but they just give me a similar feeling Maybe it's because she and Hagrid are both big cats?"
Mao Mao tilted his head in doubt, and guessed uncertainly.
But Fish quickly put the matter aside, and like everyone else, he excitedly guessed which mode of transportation Durmstrang would use when he arrived.
"If only they also came on magical animals that Fish has never seen before, meow."
Mao Mao said expectantly while continuing to wink with the rune horses.
Everyone waited for a while, when Fisher's ears suddenly caught a strange sound.
"There is movement in the lake meow!"
Fish pointed at the black lake and yelled loudly, and everyone looked over immediately.
Standing on the slope of the lawn overlooking the grounds, they had a clear view of the calm, dark water.
At first, the surface of the lake was still very calm, but soon, the water waves began to ripple, and a strange sound floated from the direction of the black lake.
It was a pent-up rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the river bed
As this strange sound became louder, huge splashes of water also appeared on the black lake. The plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake
Rising slowly from the center of the vortex was something like a long black pole, with sail rigging attached to it
"That's a mast!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind, everyone could see a large and magnificent ship slowly rising out of the water.
It looked eerie, skeletal, as if it were the wreck of a freshly salvaged ship, and the portholes shone with dim, misty lights that looked like ghostly eyes.
However, the dilapidated appearance does not affect the style of this ship. Everyone, especially the boys, is very interested in this ship.
Immediately after the big boat came out of the water, it headed towards the shore of the lake. A moment later they heard a splash as an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and with another snap a plank hit the shore.
A group of people, led by a tall and thin man, walked out of the cabin and walked quickly to the gate of the castle.
Fish looked at the fur cloaks on them, hesitated for a moment, and gave up the idea of ??giving the people of Durmstrang a cold and heat resistance.
"Dumbledore!" the goatee-bearded man in the lead called enthusiastically as he came up the slope: "My dear old chap, how are you?"
"Very well, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore replied.
After the two exchanged a few words, Karkaroff called a student behind him to come forward: "Viktor, come here, warm upyou don't mind, Dumbledore? Viktor is a little I have a cold"
There was a sudden commotion among the students at Hogwarts, because most of them recognized the identity of the Bulgarian team Seeker who shined in the Quidditch World Cup final - Viktor Krum .
Of course, Fish didn't have much of an impression of him. At that time, Maomao was patronizing to watch the Veela and Leprechaun fight. Players and the like were not within his focus
