The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 705 Magic Garden
The Enchanted Garden is said to be located somewhere in Europe.

In order to prevent poachers and some greedy people from destroying and looting the magic garden, the International Federation of Wizards hid the magic garden centuries ago.

Most wizards have no idea of ​​such a place, let alone the exact location of the Enchanted Garden.

Nowadays, magic gardens are only circulated in the circle of pharmacists and herbalists.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Hogwarts' Thestral carriage to go directly to the magic garden. Their destination is the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.

According to the past practice, the school teams participating in the magic school potion tournament will meet at the temporary base, and then use the Portkey together to go to the magic garden.

Yes, to access the Enchanted Garden, a special Portkey is required.

Just like the Azkaban Prison in England, its purpose is to keep other wizards from knowing the specific location of the magic garden.

However, many wizards once speculated that the magic garden was in France, or in the forests near France, but those greedy people searched the whole of France and the surrounding forests, but still did not find any trace of the magic garden.

These news were told by Professor Slughorn to the two of them. Naturally, he didn't know the exact location. It is said that all the wizards he knew were "The Silent Man" and they all swore to protect the magic garden.

However, Albert felt that Hetok Dagworth should know the specific location of the magic garden, or be able to go to the magic garden at any time, which is some of the privileges of potion masters.

When the Thestral carriage arrived in France, it was almost dusk, and the sky was dyed fiery red by the sunset.The Thestral carriage flew towards the Pyrenees, the border between France and Spain. Looking down from the window of the carriage, one could see a beautiful French-style palace in the mountains: Beauxbaton Castle.

Of course, if it is a Muggle, passing here can only see a fog.

Like Hogwarts, Beauxbaton Castle is protected by countless magics. This beautiful castle is surrounded by majestic gardens and fountains built by magic. He took out his camera from his seamless stretch bag, and took a few photos of the French palace below.

The carriage began to tilt downward, and the Thestral carriage landed on the outermost lawn.

There was no warm welcome, no warm French girls, but two people, one of whom was a very tall woman, as tall as Hagrid.Albert recognized at a glance that the other party should be Olim Maxim, the principal of the Beauxbaton School of Magic in France.

Hagrid looked at Olim Maxim in a daze, then seemed to think of something, and hurried over to open the door of the carriage.

"I thought Dumbledore would lead the team."

When Mrs. Maxim saw the fat old man coming out of the carriage, she raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised and puzzled.

Professor Slughorn was a little confused. He couldn't understand French, but it didn't matter. Dumbledore told him that Albert could understand, so...he looked at Albert, waiting for the other party to translate for himself.

The number of wizards like Dumbledore who can understand the languages ​​of various countries is too small.

"Some troubles happened at the school, and Dumbledore couldn't get away." Slughorn smiled and kissed the back of the other's hand.

Maxim didn't care, and looked at Albert, who got off the carriage and was interpreting for them. His face didn't show any emotional changes, but his eyes still stayed on Albert for a while.

"Karkaroff has come, they are resting, come with me!" Mrs. Maxim led a group of people to a remote area outside the school, where a tent was set up.

Yes, it is a tent.

No welcome ceremony, no welcome banquet, just a small tent!

That's right, this is just a temporary gathering place.

There is a lot of space inside the tent, with a table for more than a dozen people in the middle, and some sofas on both sides, but they are far apart from each other.

Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang College, was talking to his students. After hearing footsteps, everyone in the tent looked towards the door.

"Let's sit down and have dinner first. We were supposed to go to the magic garden for dinner, but when I received the door key, I was told by the other party that the time we passed was nine o'clock in the evening." After Madam Maxim finished speaking, she said They were served a sumptuous French meal by a group of house-elves.

There were 11 people at the dining table. Durmstrang College and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had enough three people, but Hogwarts had only two people who seemed out of place, and one of them was also a part-time translator, making the tents The girls all cast their gazes appreciatively.

Handsome, handsome, gentle and comfortable, and Albert is also the current International Wizards Chess champion, so he has attracted the attention of the girls present, and they are all secretly looking at him.

Who doesn't like a handsome guy?
Even if it's not your own, at least it's eye-catching.

While everyone was eating, Albert noticed a beautiful girl in a light blue silk gown waving at him.And the two Durmstrang College boys who had been staring at her followed her gaze and cast unfriendly glances at Albert.

In the face of unkind hostility, Albert didn't care. Anyway, we were all opponents, but these two guys were too stupid to be affected by each other's charm.

"You know a lot of pretty girls?"

Isobel's voice rang in Albert's ear.

"We met each other once at Mr. Delacour's wedding. It should be a relative of Miss Louise." Albert said without thinking, the beautiful French girl obviously has Veela blood.

"I didn't expect you to still remember."

Isobel's smiling appearance made Albert suddenly regret answering this question, as expected, he should pretend that he didn't know him just now.

"Her name is Alice, and she seems to have snatched Louise's boyfriend." Albert said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You're in big trouble!"

Isobel raised his head and glanced at Miss Alice, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, almost colliding with sparks.

Isobel just nodded slightly at the other party, then looked away.

With just one glance, Isobel can understand the little thought of the other party.She knew Alice's sinister intentions to seduce Albert.

Isobel found it quite interesting, she didn't think that woman could succeed, and Albert could definitely guess it.However, if she wasn't going to help stop this trouble, she should let Albert know that people's hearts are sinister, lest he use his charm to seduce beautiful girls around.

snort!
It's not that she didn't realize that the girls in the tent were all peeping at Albert.

It wasn't until after the dinner that Albert knew what trouble Isobel was talking about.

Two beautiful girls from the Beauxbaton School of Magic came over to talk to Albert, and invited him to visit the Beauxbaton School of Magic with a smile.

After seeing Alice's charming smile, Albert even lost his mind for a moment, but he quickly recovered, nodded and agreed, and suggested that everyone go together.

The charming smile on Alice's face gradually froze.

Everyone thought Albert's proposal was good. Anyway, they would have to wait here for a few more hours, and Mrs. Maxime didn't object, so she asked her students to take others around and let them Take in the views from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"My name is Mary. Louise mentioned you in a letter. He said that you would definitely go to the competition, and that you would embarrass Alice."

Another French girl sneaked up to talk to Albert while Alice was besotted with the two Durmstrang boys.

"Maybe I already have a girlfriend." Albert said tactfully.

"I know, I don't mean anything else."

Mary's expression became more and more weird, and she rolled her eyes at Isobel and reminded: "You'd better be careful of Alice's charm, that woman is best at using her charm to seduce other boys, and then abandon them after fascinating them."

"I have faith in Albert."

"You speak French fluently."

"Thank you."

Everyone walked around the school and saw the fountain built by the LeMay couple. The statue of the fountain is the young appearance of the LeMay couple and is named after them.

The fountain is said to be a dating site for couples at the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"I heard the legend of this fountain. It is said that the spring water has the effect of repairing and beautifying." Albert cast an inquiring gaze at Mary.

"Those are just exaggerated rumors. If you don't believe me, you will know after taking a sip." Mary explained with a smile.

Albert took some water from the spring with a paper cup, took a sip, and felt that it was no different from ordinary spring water.

After nine o'clock, everyone gathered around the school. Mrs. Maxim took out a crutch and asked each of them to reach for the crutch. Then she took out a pocket watch from her pocket and started counting down, waiting for the key to open the door. time.

When counting to one, Albert felt pulled forward by an irresistible momentum, and his feet flew off the ground.

There seemed to be countless scenes passing by in front of his eyes, and Albert couldn't see clearly at all.

I don't know how long it took, Albert finally felt the feeling of his feet falling to the ground again. No one fell down, but it was not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that traveling with the Portkey was not pleasant.

"Can't they find a gentler way?" grumbled Professor Slughorn, clearly disliking this form of travel.

"Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's team."

A wizard's voice sounded near them.

We appear at the entrance of a village, which at least looks like a village.

There were two wizards standing in front of them, one of them was holding a big gold watch, the other reached out to pick up Mrs. Maxim's crutch with a smile, and said to everyone with a smile, "Welcome to the magic garden."

Everyone looked up at the village in front of them, a little confused.
