Homecoming from Hogwarts

Casting spells on the ice, using superb transformation skills and huge magic power to form a huge ice and snow castle. It would be a bit difficult for Amosta to cast spells alone, but with Dumbledore's words, then It's not a problem anymore.

Amosta, who returned to the crowd, saw the dreamy expressions on the shore and smiled with satisfaction.

"How's it going? It's pretty decent, right?"

Karkaroff, who had made repeated dissatisfaction remarks just now, could not say a word. When faced with Amosta's question, he just nodded.

"That's amazing, Albus!"

Madame Maxime marveled sincerely, "It's like a miracle."

"It's an honor to receive your recognition, dear Olim--"

Dumbledore said happily.

"So--"

Amosta looked at the little wizards who were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and waved to them,

"What are you waiting for, everyone, go and warm up in your castle--"

The expected heated discussion did not appear. The little wizards descended to the ice one by one. Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the castle, and they were in a daze until they stood in front of this magical ice castle. Only then did they finally come to their senses.

The students discovered that the lifelike little animals that Professor McGonagall had just created were already having fun inside and outside the ice castle with the open door. Several reindeer were running happily with their hooves beside the silver fountain created by Professor Snape. It ran and made a melodious cry from time to time.

Little fairies and little cupids passed through the majestic ice-blue palace gates in groups, following the ghosts floating everywhere.

The little wizards followed the professor's footsteps, stepping into the magnificent palace step by step, and then let out exclamations again and again.

The interior of the palace is extremely vast and is a huge auditorium.

Although it is an ice castle, it is not as cold as expected. Instead, it is very bright and warm. Harry looked up into the air and saw that there were balls of golden flames the size of fists forming the emblems of the four colleges suspended above their heads, and the warmth in the palace came from those four flaming flags.

Above the four flaming flags, there is also an extremely spectacular crystal chandelier. There are probably thousands of diamond-shaped ice cubes that are purer than the most flawless crystal. Together they form this spectacular crystal chandelier. The chandelier exudes ice-blue light, even Draco, who has seen many luxurious decorations, is standing there. I was in a trance when I saw it.

The interior of the palace is also dotted with many ice sculptures in the shape of plants, all of which are lifelike. Many of the little squirrels created by Professor McGonagall are squatting on these ice sculptures, tilting their heads and flashing at the little wizards. Close your eyes. This cute scene made many girls unable to restrain their excitement and shouted in low voices.

"It's amazing!"

Hermione covered her lips and looked at the world in front of her, tears flashing in her excited eyes.

"I just can't imagine that magic can actually do this!"

Similar remarks gradually spread, and the students gradually came to their senses. Fleur's sister, the little girl named Gabrielle, excitedly left the Beauxbatons team and touched the mane of the lion walking in the hall. , rushed under the tree, teased the little squirrels on the ice, and let out a series of laughter as clear as silver bells.

Colin, who unexpectedly got the chance to attend the party, was about to put his camera on fire. For the first time, he felt that there was something more worthy of photographing than Harry Potter.

Fleur, who was standing next to Harry, stared blankly at Amosta Brain, who was chatting and laughing with Madame Maxime and Professor Karkaroff, with deep obsession in her blue eyes.

This dreamy ice castle has captured the attention of the little wizards, and they don’t even care about the upcoming dance party.

While people were still admiring the ice castle, Amosta raised his wand again and waved, and a series of rustling sounds suddenly occurred in the castle.

In the palace hall, small round tables and two chairs have grown out next to the ice-carved plants that appear to be chaotically arranged, but are actually neat.

"Stop standing there stupidly, everyone——"

Amosta's voice echoed in the empty hall,

"Everyone, take your seats. Let's make a table between the dance partners. Of course, students who are attending the banquet alone can share a table with each other. Oh, warriors and your dance partners, please come to the guest of honor table--"

After Amosta repeated it again, the students gradually started to move again. "Come on, Ron—"

Hermione gently tugged on Ron's sleeve with a soft voice.

"okay--"

Ron's cheeks were so red that he still didn't dare to look at Hermione's face, but he found that after Qiu Zhang, Daphne and Fleur all held their partners' arms, he coughed a few times and straightened his lower body posture. , hold your right fist gracefully and place it on your lower abdomen.

Hermione pursed her lips slightly, ignored Fred and George's winks at him, and took Ron's arm.

All the arrangements had only been rehearsed in Amosta's mind, and even the faculty and staff were inevitably confused. Amosta guided everyone to their seats with a smile. He saw Professor Moody still standing there. I was in a daze under an ice pine tree, so I walked over.

Like everyone else, the Ice Castle also gave Professor Moody an unprecedented shock. However, his eyes staring at the beautiful castle flashed a hint of loneliness from time to time, and deep in his eyes, he seemed to be trying his best to suppress some emotions. .

But when he glanced at Hermione, who was walking over holding Ron's arm, he was suddenly startled, and his dissatisfied and hideous scarred face was filled with astonishment.

"Granger made Weasley her dance partner?" Professor Moody blurted out subconsciously, with horror and confusion in his voice.

"Is there anything wrong with this, Professor Moody?"

Amosta's meaningful look woke Moody up just in time.

"Oh, it's nothing-"

Moody gasped a few times, looked deeply at Ron and Hermione, then glanced at Amosta's face with complicated eyes, and then walked away silently.

The Warriors and their dancing partners sat cross-legged next to the three headmasters and Amosta and representatives from the Ministry of Magic. On either side of Harry and Fleur were Percy and Ludo Bagman. As soon as Harry sat down, Percy immediately turned his head. Come closer,

"I received your letter, Harry. Why didn't I write back because I happened to be coming to Hogwarts to attend the banquet on behalf of Mr. Crouch? Why are you suddenly so concerned about Mr. Crouch's recent developments? "

"Let's talk about it later, Percy--"

Harry glanced guiltily at Professor Blaine, who was a few seats away, and spoke in a low voice.

The commotion gradually subsided, and people were looking at the guest table, because every table was empty and not even a plate could be seen. What should they eat?

And at this moment, someone among the little wizards sitting below suddenly screamed.

"Look at the ground!"

This slightly panicked roar drew people's attention to the ground for the first time. There were so many things worth seeing in the ice castle, and they had not noticed their feet yet.

The ground of this ice castle is also a piece of pure crystal. Under the ice-blue light, they can see the scene under the frozen lake to a certain extent. The reason why the little wizard screamed before was because at this moment, there was a huge shadow staying at their feet!

"It's the big squid in the black lake!"

Soon, someone analyzed what the behemoth beneath their feet was. The giant squid in the black lake is also one of Hogwarts' famous campus legends.

Not all the little wizards had close contact with this squid. Some people excitedly left their seats and lay on the ground regardless of the image, trying to see what this big guy looked like. Ron, who was sitting at the guest table, was also attracted by the squid. Although he kept sitting upright, his eyes kept looking down——

"Oh--"

Suddenly, many humanoid shadows swam under Ron's seat and ran to the giant squid to negotiate with it.

"What the hell are these!"

Ron screamed in terror uncontrollably.

"Keep calm, Mr. Weasley--"

No one answered Ron's question, but Professor McGonagall said with an unhappy expression.

Hermione naturally saw what Ron saw. She was originally going to give Ron a reminder, because every warrior and their dance partner was under people's attention, but when she heard Ron's inquiry, she instinctively started Thinking about the answer to this question, when a noun popped into her mind, Hermione's expression suddenly changed!
