Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 563 Unlucky Furong

After the scalp-numbing scream, scattered moss crackled on the faces of the leading young wizards. In shock and pain, the young wizards backed away one after another, causing a period of chaos.

But when the commotion subsided, Amosta found that few people were afraid of the precious whomping willow. The little wizards from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were looking at the whipping air with interest. The willow branches on the ground turned a deaf ear to what he just said.

Maybe Hagrid should put some obstacles around the Whomping Willow--
Amosta had this thought in his mind. After all, the young wizards from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are guests from afar. Any harm suffered at Hogwarts for reasons other than competitions is very likely to develop. resulting in a serious diplomatic incident.

"Where are we going next, Professor Brain?" a little Beauxbatons witch asked enthusiastically.

"Next"

"Professor Blaine!"

While Amosta was pondering, someone in Beauxbatons' team suddenly raised his hand. Amosta looked at it carefully and his eyelids suddenly twitched.

"Is it possible we could visit the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts?"

Fleur had no interest in the Hogwarts campus at all. Compared with Beauxbatons' artistic and exquisitely crafted buildings, in her eyes, the Hogwarts campus was just a desolate, dilapidated courtyard, but Even so, there was something of interest to her.Fleur looked at Amosta, who had black lines on her forehead, with a sly smile on her lips, her clear eyes shining brightly,

"I refer to the rumored Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. It is said that it was there that you captured the amazing basilisk, ending the shadow that has shrouded the little Muggle-born wizards in Hogwarts for thousands of years!"

Fleur shook her silver hair and looked at Amosta with special admiration (pretend).

"If possible, I hope to visit the secret realm left by the legendary wizard Salazar Slytherin!"

Fleur's tone was like that of a little witch who met her idol in adolescence, and this led to a problem, that is, in Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour was basically the object of all boys' dreams. The young Beauxbatons wizard who originally had great respect for Amosta Brain showed a bad look on his face.

Amosta didn't mind the hostile looks, but Fleur's request did bother him.

"Ah, I take it you wouldn't refuse such a trivial request, Blaine?"

Karkaroff said in a sweet tone. He was smiling, but his eyes were still cold and sharp.

Early this morning, when Amosta came to the ghost ship where Durmstrang lived and offered to take Durmstrang's little wizards to visit the Hogwarts campus, Karkaroff immediately proposed that they should visit the Admiration Hall together. He had been in Hogwarts for a long time, but Amosta knew clearly that this guy was probably afraid that his little wizard from Durmstrang would do something evil.

It is of course impossible to visit Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, even though there is no longer a basilisk there, it still hides the great secrets of Hogwarts.

"I'm sorry, Miss Delacour--"

Amosta said in an apologetic tone,

"I'm afraid your wish will not come true. As you know, when I subdued the basilisk, a fierce struggle broke out there, which made the house in disrepair become crumbling. For safety reasons, Thinking about it, we sealed that house, and now, no one can get in--"

Karkaroff immediately wanted to say something, but Amosta gave him a deep look to silence him.

"Besides, there's nothing interesting to see there, everyone -" After retracting his gaze, Amosta said with a smile, "Apart from the ruins of the walls and the countless animal remains in the putrid mud, there is nothing there. Nothing at all."

"terrible--"

When she heard that there were many corpses there, Gabrielle, who was as delicate as porcelain and held by Fleur, shook Fleur's hand imploringly.
"I don't want to go there, sister."

Fleur, who always showed a proud face, unexpectedly loved her sister. She immediately softened and comforted Gabrielle softly. Inadvertently, she also gave Amosta a look of 'resentment'. Obviously, She knew that was just Amosta's excuse.

"Can I go there and have a look, Professor Blaine?" Gabrielle calmed down a bit, holding her sister's hand tightly. She looked at the famous Mr. Amosta Blaine with both timidity and admiration, and pointed Standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, he asked in a clear, childish and cute voice.

Perhaps because of the special nature of Veela blood, Fleur's younger sister, Gabrielle, looked far younger than school age, more like a five or six-year-old girl.

"Ah, there--"

Being looked at by such a cute little girl, even Amosta couldn't help but have a few kind smiles on his lips.
"Of course, of course, that was originally one of the places we needed to visit today—"

Amosta smiled kindly at Gabrielle;

"That house is the house of Rubeus Hagrid, Hogwarts' gamekeeper and professor of Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid himself has served Hogwarts conscientiously for nearly half a century, personally handling batches of Little wizards who know nothing about magic are introduced to the magical world, accompany them to grow up, and watch them become outstanding. It can be said that at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, except for Albus Dumbledore, he He is the most respectable wizard."

"Whoa--" Gabri exclaimed in surprise.

When she was in Paris, Fleur had spent some time with Amosta Brain. Together, they had met many well-known figures in the European wizarding world, including respected scholars, powerful politicians, and others. As a wealthy businessman, Amosta Brain has always had a calm attitude towards those people, neither appearing arrogant nor too humble.

But she has never seen Amosta talking to someone so kindly!

Fleur's eyelashes flickered, she looked at Gabrielle next to her, and when she looked at Amosta again, she gritted her teeth.

"Come on, everyone, in the next half year, Hagrid will also be your Professor of Care of Magical Creatures. He is very friendly, and maybe he will treat you to a cup of tea--"

Fleur was about to leave, but suddenly she found that Gabrielle's hand was out of her palm. Then, she saw her sister, whom she had always thought was a timid sister, ran to the front of the crowd and happily followed Amosta Blaine. !

"Oh, that's surprising—"

A Beauxbatons student noticed Fleur's surprise. She snickered and said to Fleur,
"Gabriel has always been reluctant to get close to strangers. It seems that she likes Professor Blaine very much!"

I don’t know why, but Furong suddenly felt heartbroken.
Most people would not be interested in an inconspicuous hut and a large vegetable garden, but Gabrielle, who was following Amosta, seemed very curious about it.Every plant on Beauxbatons' campus was carefully cultivated for viewing. To her, Hagrid's vegetable garden was indeed very novel.

"Mr. Hagrid grew all the pumpkins in the auditorium, Professor Brain?"

Gabrielle was lying in front of the fence of the vegetable garden, looking inside curiously. Hagrid had picked all the big pumpkins in the pumpkin patch, turned them into jack-o'-lanterns, and moved them into the auditorium.The ones of moderate size have also been sent to the kitchen. The ones in the vegetable garden now are all small pumpkins that are not outstanding in size. The green fruits hanging on the branches of individual melon vines are only the size of a baby's fist. They look like Very cute.

"Yes, little one, I can pick one for you and take it back as a souvenir--"

Amosta patted the little girl's head and said softly.

As soon as Gabrielle showed a surprised expression, Fleur squeezed in from behind.Maybe it was because she spent some time with Amosta before he was not so famous.Amosta Blaine, who was feared by others, was not so scary to her. Fleur glared at Amosta and said,
"No need to bother unfamiliar people, Gabrielle, I can help you-"

"Careful, Miss Delacour, there's something in this pumpkin patch—"

Amosta warned, but Fleur seemed to want to prove that she was a competent sister. She ran away quickly, bypassed the fence and rushed into Hagrid's vegetable garden--
boom!
Accompanied by a flash of fire and a fierce bang, Fleur's face was charred and she whimpered. She took a few steps back and fell into the muddy pumpkin patch. The hem of her school uniform was also torn open by the explosion. , the exposed white and smooth calves made all the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons boys' eyes widen.

"--there are snails"

Amosta said sympathetically.
