Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

The takraw ball bounced and rolled twice, then stopped suddenly, and several vines broke and formed a door.The students in Uagadu who wore all kinds of fancy clothes walked out of the door opened by the takraw ball, and several wizards were still blowing.

African traditional reed shell flute.

Obviously, they controlled the giant snake through the sound of the flute.

"Greetings, Principal Dumbledore! Akinbad asked me to say hello to you!" Otama Mbabazi, the current principal of Waggadu, appeared in front of the Hogwarts teachers and students holding a wolf's head stick in his hand. in front of the eyes.

"Welcome, my old friend." Dumbledore said gently, "It's getting late, we have prepared some delicious meals, if you don't mind, we can talk about something while eating."

"Thank you for your warmth and generosity."

Mbabazi opened his arms and gave Dumbledore a hug before he was picked up by Professor Sprout.

According to the plan: Hogwarts is responsible for hosting Waggadu is the Hufflepuff College: whether it is them or the herbs in their greenhouse, they will like the excrement of this rainbow snake.

Major felt that he had really come here today—even if he had used his imagination to the fullest before this, he could hardly have imagined that there would be such a big snake in the world.

"Uh... what does it eat?" Major couldn't help asking Lockhart. "Isn't its food going to bankrupt the school? Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude..."

"Eat underground coal mines, sir. Besides the Victorian coal mines, there are many coal mines under the ground in Scotland that cannot be mined by manpower. Even if it eats for a year, it cannot eat one millionth of its reserves. And then It will live underground here for the rest of the year."

Lockhart was not lying, but after the people of Waggadu reported their transportation plan to the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic discussed this issue, and the result of the discussion was to let it eat it.

Anyway, there are not many other mineral deposits in the UK, but there are many coal mines, otherwise it would not be a factory.

Origin of Industrial Revolution.

"Do you want to say hello to Mr. Mbabazi? They are also wizards who are active in the world." Lockhart added.

"Then I'll just say hello." Major didn't refuse either.

After the people from Waggadu came out, they wanted to follow the Hufflepuffs into the school immediately, but the giant snake suddenly screamed, and it didn't mean to go into the ground.

The people of Waggadu stood still, seeming a little confused.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that you will go down immediately after you come?" Mbabazi shouted.

A student who looked older at the back shook his head at him: "I don't know, it seems to have something to say."

As if to confirm what he said, the rainbow snake blocked its body on the stone steps up the mountain, preventing Wagadu's people from passing.

Seeing it like this, Mbabazi frowned: "Which of you can become a python? Talk to it, what happened?"

Several students looked at each other, and then showed embarrassment.

"Kiwanuka didn't come today, he said he wanted to pray for the chief's cousin," the students replied.

This time Mbabazi was also a little confused.

But the rainbow serpent's attitude is very firm, if these wizards do not meet its demands, it will not give way.

The Waggadu had to gesticulate and shout, desperately trying to get the rainbow snake out of the way, even if it told it that there were coal mines underground, it didn't work.

It wasn't until a childish voice sounded from behind them that they were relieved of this embarrassment.

"It said it was too cold here, and asked you to give it kapok."

The anxious teachers and students of Waggadu immediately looked back and found that it was a black-haired boy wearing round-rimmed glasses.

"Kapok?" Mbabazi asked subconsciously.

Di, it says this land is too cold, it will hibernate soon, and wants you to bring kapok to it. ' added the boy.

light me! Mbabazi patted himself on the forehead with the hand that was not holding the wolf's head stick, "I almost forgot, this is Scotland, not warm Africa!" "

Then without saying a word, he raised his cane and conjured a lot of kapok.

The Rainbow Snake swallowed the kapok in one gulp with satisfaction, and then a layer of fine fluff grew out of the scales on the surface of its body.

It looked at itself with satisfaction, then fell through the crack.

The Africans breathed a sigh of relief and then patted the boy on the shoulder friendly.

"It seems that you are very talented in animal control... What's your name? I'll see if I can talk to Dumbledore and let you transfer to our school." Mbabazi gave him a thumbs up.

The boy looked a little embarrassed. He didn't really like saying his name in front of strangers.

But Cedric Diggory next to him took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Harry Potter, I think you must have heard of him."

As soon as these words came out, even Mbabazi knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to take this student to Africa.

"It turns out that he is Harry Potter." He finally understood, "It really is unusual."

"Thanks...I think I'm going back to my own academy."

Harry smiled shyly, and then ran over to the Gryffindor students who remained by the lake.

These Africans didn't say anything more, and came to the auditorium along the path made by the Rainbow Snake.

At this time, the only school that has not yet arrived is Ilvermorny in the United States.

Considering that they were going across the Atlantic, it was not unreasonable that the last one would arrive, but the Gryffindor cubs who had been waiting in place were going to be hungry.

But they don't care, after all, they can appreciate the entrance ceremony of a school more

The time gradually approached 07:30, and when the people present began to speculate whether something went wrong, there was a faint sound of thunder over the castle.

If the weather in Scotland in October is just "not sunny", then the overcast ■S■ at this time is more like a stormy sea.

The rain clouds in the sky quickly gathered together in everyone's eyes, and then as if something in the sky opened an eye, a small hole appeared in the middle of the cloud.

Then, the sudden gust of wind turned into a giant's hand, twisting the dark clouds in the sky into a twist, and then smashed downward.

If they are farmers living in the Midwest of the United States, they will probably be quite familiar with this scene.

"It's a tornado! A tornado is coming."

The whizzing tornado descended from the dark clouds like a funnel, and the end just happened to land on the airfield built by the house elves.

Major had to get away with the other students to avoid being swept up by the tornado.If his small body is blown into the sky by the wind, the people present will probably be caught in the snow.

You have to go up the mountain to find him.

But the Gryffindor students were not as timid as him, and the lion cubs behaved more like a storm than a storm in the face of this storm.

The lion cubs, headed by the Weasley brothers and Lee, were all in high spirits, jumping around like a calf in rut, clamoring loudly.In the end, Professor McGonagall had to get angry, which made the people in his academy shut up.

And when it was in a mess underneath, an airship slowly flew down from the eye of the tornado.

It was a red spherical airship. The whole boat was painted the same red as the airship plum, and the green searchlight cast by the side of the hull happened to form the "green leaves" of the plum, which looked quite unique.

Because the airship is relatively large, even in the eye of the tornado, it was still blown around and around, until it flew to a height of more than 50 meters from the ground before it stabilized a little.

The sharp-eyed people could see that someone in the pod hanging under the airship cast a spell, and the gust of wind around the airship finally calmed down.

As the tornado subsided, the airship stopped spinning and shaking, and landed slowly in the eyes of the teachers and students until it stopped on the reserved "airport".

"Very good "wind tunnel" magic, Americans' understanding of this magic has surpassed that of other schools by a large margin. Dumbledore sighed.

Prime Minister Major looked left and right, and finally couldn't help it, so he asked his own question.

"I probably understand... the tornado just now is a very strange travel magic, isn't it?"

"You're right." Lockhart confirmed his guess.

"Okay, I don't know much about you wizards, but... the people inside are really safe after such a violent rotation like just now?" Major wondered.

This time no one could answer his question.

As soon as the airship landed, the door of the gondola was immediately rushed open.

The students in Ilvermorny school uniforms rushed out of the hatch quickly, and then ran to the grass in unison, throwing up one by one.

Dumbledore was obviously suppressing his own smile, and asked as calmly as possible

Major explained: 1o It seems that some small accident happened, and our American guests were very concerned about it.

There is a good chance that this magic is as foreign as it is to us. "

PS Take your time, even if the ten cuts are added, it will be added a little bit a day, gently and gently.Today I will start with a [-]-word essay.

In addition, African rainbow snakes should be different from Australian ones, right?Baidu experts, don't just look at the first few articles.

Chapter 290 Second Private Alliance

Although there were some episodes, the people from Ilvermorny College in the United States finally arrived at Hogwarts safely.

And what makes them feel fortunate is that only people from Gryffindor College can see their embarrassment, and these little lions don't care about it. Instead, they think that the way they came to Hogwarts through the tornado is very Cool, even if it's slightly dangerous so--

/\

Ilvermorny College sent not their current headmaster this time, but the vice-principal Isaac Potter.

Yes, this gentleman is also surnamed Potter. His patriarch Abraham Potter was a member of the original "Twelve Aurors" of the Magical Congress of America, and he is a distant relative with the famous Harry Potter.It's just that this kind of kinship relationship has long existed in name only, and the well-documented branch point may date back to the end of the 17th century.

Their "wind tunnel" magic belongs to the research results of the school in recent years. It is inspired by the tornadoes that blow hundreds of times in the Midwest of the United States every year. The previous experiments were very successful, but overseas travel is still fun after all. It was too big, beyond the theoretical data of the experiment, so it almost capsized.

However, even if you need to take risks, you still have to pretend.

"The output power of the gems is a bit higher." Mr. Potter forcefully explained, "It will be fine to reduce the two long-horned water snake gems when we go back."

After the people from Ilvermorny also arrived, the Hogwarts auditorium was finally ready for dinner.

The Prime Minister, who had watched a good show, was satisfied, and the time spent all night was really worth the money, so that he couldn't help but say more during his speech, which made the hungry students slander.

Seeing that Hogwarts actually invited the Prime Minister of the Muggle government to give a welcome speech, all parties

mixed reactions

Beauxbatons and Waggadu applauded after Major's speech, while Durmstrang and the little snakes on the Slytherin table were indifferent.

The applause was loudest on the Gryffindor side, but Lockhart doubted that the students were applauding to celebrate the end of the lengthy speech.

Seeing the Gryffindor applauding next to them, the students of Ilvermorny subconsciously joined in, but in the end they stopped ahead of time under Vice Principal Potter's stern gaze.

The attitudes of all parties are self-evident.

After dinner, Dumbledore announced that the Goblet of Fire would be responsible for the registration for the Five-wizard Tournament, and each school would select a senior "warrior" in accordance with the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament

But this year's rules have changed—in addition to the warriors, each school has to select a junior "attendant", that is, an assistant.

"The role of the attendant is to assist the warrior to complete the project, and when the warrior is unfortunately killed, he is responsible for confining his body. Ha, this is just a joke, no one will die!"

Seeing that the students took his words seriously, Dumbledore quickly retracted what he had just said with a smile.

"...The attendants are only responsible for scouting and raiding for the warriors outside the field, as well as emergency assistance. In addition, some projects may require two people to cooperate to complete...but the projects have taken into account your age, and will not let the attendants do it. Too many difficult things..."

After hearing this, the students were finally relieved, and after being relieved, they couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

"...In addition to the hegemony competition, guests from afar can also go to class with your boarding college. I believe that each school has its own strengths.

We can communicate more on this.

Last but not least, the registration deadline for the junior students of the Goblet of Fire is October 10th, while the senior ones are on October 5th. The results of the selection of warriors will be announced on the evening of October 10th, and the opening match will be on the evening of October 10st. It is held on Halloween night: all warriors have half a month to prepare. "

After saying this, Dumbledore simply announced the dissolution, and the prefects of each college took the guests to rest.

And Lockhart also left the auditorium with the Prime Minister, and walked back to Hogsmeade.

"It looks like it's going to be a great event, but unfortunately... well, I'm unlikely to come to every game." Major said regretfully.

"why?"

"Because I can't find a reason to bypass the schedule of the secretaries every time: there are at most 10 days a year at a time like this evening." The Prime Minister said a little helplessly.

ZK

"Indeed, but we don't hold such competitions very often." Lockhart admitted, "Because the wizard population is small and their residences are scattered, large-scale exchanges like this are rare."

What Major discovered: "So, this is actually an academic exchange? Like an exchange between international universities?"

"You can say that, but I'm going to take this opportunity to talk about trade," Lockhart admitted.

Major heard the overtones: "So, is there anything I can do to help9"

■

""Not yet, but I can't tell in the future. Considering the trade balance issue, we will use the income from oil and medicine to buy gold and industrial products in large quantities. The latter will go through normal channels, but the former...I hope that if the government will When considering the sale of gold reserves, you can give priority to us. "

"Are you going to switch to the gold standard too?"

After the plight of the pound plummeting, Major is very sensitive to Huang Jin'

"I have no objection to selling you gold in principle, but I hope that when you buy gold, you try to trade in dollars and don't sell pounds... In addition, the Royal Bank has a very good reputation, and you can consider storing gold there."

"That's impossible." Lockhart said regretfully, ""We have an agreement with the goblins, and the financial industry is all handed over to them. "
