The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

the next day.

Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Durmstrang around Christmas is in the most dire stage of the year.

The icy wind and thick snow here are enough to submerge all life in the cold wave.

So generally speaking, Durmstrang during this period will choose to take a long vacation.

Even those who have to stay in the school for some reason will be closed in the school to avoid the danger brought by the cold wave.

Today, however, a large number of Durmstrang students, led by their current principal, Professor Beckman, wore thick jackets and braved the cold wind to the huge lake behind the castle.

This is actually an outlet.

It is also the only entrance and exit from Durmstrang to the outside world.

Anyone who tried to enter Durmstrang by other physical means besides water would be blocked by the surrounding mountains and bad weather.

This difficulty of passage will be magnified countless times in winter.

Because just as the students saw at this moment, the huge lake in front of them, together with the huge ghost ship they docked in the lake, were completely frozen under the polar cold.

To change to normal, from time to time someone will change into the knife boots and run to the ice to skate and play.

After all, this is one of the few outdoor sports that can be done in Durmstrang in winter.

So even if the school explicitly prohibits it, everyone will never tire of it.

But today is different.

Everyone gathered on the shore mountain, rubbed their hands, breathed out, and looked far away at the frozen estuary of the lake.

In such a bad environment, instead of complaining, the students' eyes were shining with anticipation.

The professors standing at the forefront of their team were even more excited.

They yelled at the students over and over again, telling them to keep their appearance, to stand up straight, not to hunched over.

This state lasted for a long time, until the cold sun moved to the position above everyone's heads, Beckman, who had been silent at first, glanced at his pocket watch and said with a smile:

"Here they come."

As soon as Beckman finished speaking, a series of dull sounds sounded from under the frozen lake in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, several huge cracks began to spread on the ice, and accompanied by the creepy sound of ice breaking, a huge ghost ship with a lot of water plants, even octopuses and barnacles on its body broke through the ice, all the way Crushed the thick ice and drove to the shore.

Seeing this, everyone on the shore also stopped all small movements.

Everyone's enthusiasm that was slightly weakened by the icy cold wind was rekindled, and everyone watched the ghost ship slowly approaching the shore with bright eyes, and then a light golden escalator made of pure magic took Link and Mrs. Foley. And Emily and a group of hunters stretched down from the side of the boat.

The crowd on the shore immediately burst into loud cheers.

The sound echoed among the mountains and continued to amplify, and finally even caused an avalanche on a small mountain in the distance.

And Beckman hurriedly walked up to meet him,

Gently holding Mrs. Foley's outstretched hand, she said with a smile:

"You are welcome! Oh! This makes me so happy!"

Perhaps because of the excitement, Beckman was trembling slightly.

On the other hand, on Mrs. Foley's side, although she was also smiling and could feel the pure joy in Beckman's body after seeing her daughter, she was not that excited.

The experience of running the Foley family for so many years has already tempered her heart as hard as steel, and this heart will never soften except in front of Link and Emily.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mrs. Foley still can't forget Beckman's interference in his marriage when he was young.

Even though this point has been resolved under Link's operation, the seeds of emotions have already grown into towering trees and cannot be eradicated.

Beckman probably knew this too, so after making out with Mrs. Foley for a while, he quickly turned his gaze to Link and Emily, and asked with some pride:

"How about it, Link, the Durmstrang I managed didn't disappoint you?"

Link, who was looking at Durmstrang Castle in the distance, also nodded with a smile when he heard the words.

Although the last time he came here was a few years ago, Link still remembered how terrible Durmstrang Castle was back then.

Compared to Hogwarts Castle, Durmstrang Castle back then couldn't even be described with the word 'castle'.

This is basically a prison stationed in a place of bitter cold, and it belongs to the same architectural style as the notorious Azkaban, even the size and scale of the building are similar.

Now, after Link's investment and Beckman's own construction, although the castle here is still not as grand as Hogwarts or Beauxbatons, at least it looks like a castle.

This is probably the limit that Durmstrang Castle can do. After all, the surrounding environment is really not suitable for the existence of too majestic buildings, even with magical maintenance.

Not only that, even the lake where Link and the others are now has undergone great changes.

Link still clearly remembers that the lake was full of shipwrecks at that time.

Except for one of the ghost ships that Durmstrang inherited from ancient times, except for one that was repaired for participating in the Triwizard Tournament, almost all of them are in this lake.

And now, in addition to the ghost ship that Link took away, there are still two ghost ships, one large and one small, docked in this huge lake.

And a little farther away, the wreckage of the remaining ships was also pulled to the shipyard on the shore, where it seemed that repairs and cleaning were being carried out.

All this work is enough to see that Beckman is not lazy.

To be able to restore Durmstrang to this extent even when Link calls him from time to time, he has done his best.

But when Link's eyes turned to the students who were still cheering in front, the smile on Link's face became a little weird.

He turned his head and said to Beckman with some irony:

"It took a lot of effort for you to get these students to come out to meet us, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the smile on Beckman's face froze.

Link could see that the group of students were not all voluntary. Beckman was not surprised. After all, Link was also a student, so he knew that it was impossible for rebellious students to come out voluntarily to meet the so-called visiting leaders.

In fact, anyone who has a little experience in school life knows this.

The reason why everyone still does this when everyone knows it is purely for the sake of insurance.

This is the same as the group of slug club members who licked Link desperately last night.

The leaders may easily see through your little thoughts, and even hate these formalisms.

But you still have to do it.

Because this is to express your importance to leadership.

Gu Ji\u003c/span\u003e If you do it, you may not be able to make the leader happy, but if you don't do it, there is a high probability that the leader will be unhappy.

What really surprised Beckman was that Link actually brought up this matter that everyone should have been tacitly aware of in front of everyone.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Beckman is also an old fritter.

I saw that he just paused and then said:

"Most students still welcome your visit very much, or in other words, they are already looking forward to this day. Of course, in order to make up for their loss of not being able to go home for Christmas, I have also made some compensation, such as giving some scholarships What."

Hearing this, Link couldn't help laughing.

According to experience, Beckman's previous sentence is probably farting.

The fanatical students in front of me are probably all attracted by scholarships.

But Link didn't mean to blame Beckman, he was just joking.

What's more, what Beckman did was really good enough.

At least he pays scholarships.

Those schools in Link’s previous life welcomed leaders to visit, not to mention scholarships, it’s already good enough not to let you come to the school on rest days.

"What Principal Beckman said is all true!"

Just as Link was thinking so, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Link and the others heard the reputation and saw a strong man in a thick leather jacket walking out from among the professors, waving his hand towards Link.

"Krum? I didn't expect to see you here. Shouldn't you have graduated?"

"Indeed, I have already graduated." Krum shrugged his shoulders as he walked, "But you know, I have feelings for Durmstrang, so after graduation, I will stay in school Professor of flight lessons."

"I understand your love for Durmstrang, but if this is the case, what about your Quidditch career?"

Link has come out of joy, and said to Krum with a frown.

You must know that Klum led the Bulgarian team to win the runner-up medal in the Quidditch World Cup when he was a student, and was also known as the best seeker in the world.

In the follow-up of the original book, he did become a professional seeker, and it is said that he has achieved good results.

Now he chose to stay in school?

This made Link feel a little guilty.

Because he thought it might be because of him, an outsider.

Krum shook his head strangely when he heard this, and said:

"Of course I'm still continuing my Quidditch career. My teammates and I are still preparing for the next Quidditch World Cup. I don't understand how this conflicts with my staying in school as a flying instructor."

Hearing what Krum said, Link was a little stunned.

He turned his head to look at Beckman again, and he believed that Beckman would give him an explanation.

"Ahem——"

Beckman coughed lightly and said, "Link, the two are indeed not in conflict, because the training ground of the Bulgarian Quidditch national team is now in Durmstrang."

"Are they crazy? Leave the original training ground unused and come to this foreign training ground?"

"No, of course they're not crazy!" Krum leaned forward and added, "In fact, our team leader is very happy to be stationed in Durmstrang for training. For one thing, Principal Beckman has put Durmstrang The Quidditch stadium has been refurbished, and all the equipment used here is the latest and most advanced equipment. In addition, the rent of the venue offered by Principal Beckman is also very cheap, so teams from many places want to come here for training. Principal Beckman was willing to give the Bulgarian Quidditch national team this opportunity because of my face."

Link nodded, and his eyes towards Beckman gradually calmed down.

This made Beckman a little embarrassed.

After becoming the sole school manager of Durmstrang and mastering the entire Durmstrang School of Magic, Link has continued to make large investments in Durmstrang.

Although the strength in this aspect is not as good as that of Beauxbaton, who inherited the legacy of Nicole Flamel, it can be called huge.

The reason for doing this is because Link values ​​Durmstrang's profound historical accumulation and excellent geographical location.

Unlike Beauxbatons in France, Durmstrang and Hogwarts, located in the northernmost part of the European continent, do not actually have a competitive relationship at all. The students of these two magic schools are fundamentally different.

Therefore, Link's investment in Durmstrang will undoubtedly attract more students without affecting Hogwarts.

Link has actually achieved this goal.

Because he found that in the student team that came to greet them, the number of students in the lower grades far exceeded that in the upper grades.

This means that more and more young wizards have chosen Durmstrang these days.

But among the many investments, the construction of a large state-of-the-art Quidditch pitch is not included.

"Link, listen to my explanation, that stadium is actually..."

Beckman still wanted to explain, but he was only halfway through when Krum interrupted directly:

"No, Link, I just want you to know that everything Principal Beckman said just now is the truth. Now the students in Durmstrang really love you and Principal Beckman, and also appreciate your coming Very excited. Because Headmaster Beckman has not only improved the environment in Durmstrang, built a new Quidditch pitch, but also done many other things!"

"for example?"

Link asked with great interest.

Hearing that Krum didn't talk nonsense, he said directly:

"I'll show you to see it."

After saying that, Krum dragged Link directly to Durmstrang Castle, leaving only Emily, Mrs. Foley and others in a daze, and the students on the shore were also a little at a loss.

Among them, Beckman's mood is definitely the most depressed.

He already regretted agreeing to Krum's request to meet Link together.

The welcome ceremony this time should have been perfect under his arrangement, and a series of details have been considered by Beckman.

But now, all of this was completely ruined by Krum.

Looking at the sluggish crowd around him, Beckman was extremely decadent, but in the end he still sighed and said:

"This is the end of the matter, everyone go back to the castle quickly, don't let the wind blow here."

Emily and Mrs. Foley seemed to see Beckman's gaffe, and couldn't help laughing.

The students below cheered when they heard the words, and happily chased after Link and Krum in the direction they left.
