After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

As expected, a welcome banquet will be held in the evening.

"First, let us welcome the beautiful girls from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their headmistress, Madame Maxime!" Dumbledore announced from the front.

The doors of the auditorium opened.

The girls from Beauxbatons walked in with their heads held high. When they reached the middle, they suddenly changed their attitude and made a seductive gesture towards the left side of the aisle.

Ron, who was not far away, watched with his eyes almost popping out.

Then the girls took a few steps forward and did the same gesture to the right side of the aisle.

Everyone in Slytherin: “…” They didn’t understand but respected.

Some people are unlucky.

It doesn't matter if he stares at a strange girl, the key point is that such a fool has a girlfriend.

I think there will be a lot more sad people in the castle tomorrow because their girlfriends forced them to break up.

He doesn't even have this little bit of self-control. How can you keep a boyfriend like this for the New Year without breaking up with him?

Dumbledore came down from the podium and met Madame Maxime, who had slowly walked in behind the girls.

Ms. Maxime raised her left hand gracefully, checked the height, and lowered it. Dumbledore kissed her hand, then held her hand and continued walking forward.

To be honest, Dumbledore was quite tall, but when he walked next to Madam Maxime, his head only reached her waist.

Dumbledore returned to the podium only after leading Ms. Maxime to her seat.

"Here are our friends from the north, welcome the proud students from Durmstrang, and their headmaster Igor Karkaroff!"

Unlike when they first showed up in the afternoon, the people from Durmstrang took off their bearskin coats. Perhaps they didn't want to get covered in prickly heat.

I saw that each of these tall young men was holding a long wooden stick in his hand, which struck the ground, causing a burst of dazzling sparks.

Yang Mei felt as if she was watching a set of acrobatics.

The protagonist always appears last, but Yang Mei has seen the protagonist of the Durmstrang team before, he is the seeker of the Gallia team seen in the World Cup final, Viktor Krum.

Even though he didn't say a word, he easily stole the limelight from the "acrobatics" in front of him.

Almost all the young Hogwarts wizards present were discussing him enthusiastically.

This time Dumbledore did not go over to him, but stood there waiting for Igor Karkaroff to walk up to him, and the two hugged each other.

Madam Maxim and Igor Karkarov could sit in the professorial chairs, but the students they brought with them could not join them.

Dumbledore said to the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang standing on both sides: "We have four colleges in Hogwarts, namely Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and there are four long tables here.

You can choose any college to join temporarily, and then during your time at Hogwarts, you will eat at the long table of that college and take classes with students from that college."

Upon hearing this, the girls and boys carefully looked at the Hogwarts students present.

Although students from the four colleges all wore the same style of school uniform robes, they wore ribbons of different colors on their chests to distinguish them.

Above the long table, there was a school flag hanging in the air by magic, with the symbols of the four colleges painted on it.

The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang looked at the four long tables one by one.

It's not like they didn't do any homework before coming here. The headmaster had already given them a general introduction to the four colleges of Hogwarts.

Then Krum said to the girls of Beauxbatons in his broken English: "Ladies first, you choose first."

The girls smiled at him and appreciated the kindness.

They exchanged a few words in a low voice, and finally Fleur Delacour spoke to Dumbledore on behalf of the girls: "We choose Ravenclaw."

Dumbledore smiled and asked them to take a seat.

It was Durmstrang's turn, and it was Krum who spoke again: "We choose Slytherin."

This time Dumbledore did not invite them to sit down immediately. Instead, he smiled kindly and said to Krum, "I know that Mr. Krum is a very good Quidditch seeker. You may not know that Hogwarts also has a very talented seeker, that is Mr. Harry Potter from Gryffindor.

Although Harry was relatively young, he showed extraordinary talent the first time he flew a broomstick.

So, maybe you just wanted to go over to Gryffindor and talk to him?"

At the Slytherin table, Zabini and the others laughed sarcastically.

Their laughter was loud and without reservation, which directly humiliated Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's kind expression remained unchanged: "Slytherin students, don't be angry. Young Mr. Malfoy is also a very good Seeker."

Draco laughed in anger, and in his heart he had already cut the old man into pieces.

Harry, sitting at the Gryffindor table, was feeling very nervous.

He knew that he was being used, and while he was praising him, he was also stepping on Draco.

What a sin!

Harry sat there with a stiff face, pretending to be deaf.

There are so many people in the auditorium, but the majority of them have brains.

Who could fail to hear the slander in Dumbledore's words?

Yang Mei wasn't very angry, she just found it a little funny.

Look, why is Dumbledore, who is always so shrewd, so impatient this time?

It seems that Morsus's return has put a lot of pressure on him!

Krum didn't understand the twists and turns here at all.

The confusion on his face was almost tangible.

"What does it have to do with me whether Mr. Potter has talent or not? I'm not interested." Krum's accent was a bit heavy, but fortunately he spoke slowly so everyone could hear clearly.

Dumbledore's glasses slipped down his nose slightly. "Everyone saw Mr. Krum's performance in the World Cup final. I thought you and Harry would have something in common, so..."

"The reason I became a professional seeker was because it was a good way to exercise and make money, not because I was interested in it."

Dumbledore: "..." I look like a clown.

Since people have said so, he can't just throw away his reputation and force them to go to Gryffindor.

"In that case, please take a seat at the Slytherin table."

A group of big men sat down at the Slytherin table.

When Krum said he wanted to come to Slytherin's side, the Slytherin students quickly gave up the front seat in the middle of the long table.

Krum naturally sat in the seat closest to Yang Mei and the others.

"I've seen you at the World Cup final." Krum said to Yang Mei and Draco.

The box these two people were sitting in was right next to the box of the Minister of Magic, and it looked like they were of high status. Afterwards, I found out that it was indeed the case.

More importantly, these two families are basically in cahoots with the Dark Lord.

Well, to be honest, he was quite tempted by the Dark Lord's recruitment.

Their Krum family already has a candidate for the next head of the family, and that’s his eldest brother.

This means he has to find another way out.

After playing professional Quidditch for so many years, Krum has become accustomed to traveling to different countries.

So even if he didn't stay in Germany after graduation, he felt that he could accept it.

The question now is, should he build good relationships with the heirs of these two families? But he is not very good at dealing with people!

Viktor Krum: Tough guy with a bald head.

……

In order to put this little incident behind him, Dumbledore quickly moved on to the next topic.

"Please pay attention, there are a few more things I must say.

Eternal glory will only belong to the student who wins the Triwizard Cup. But to obtain this glory, three tasks must be completed.

All three missions are extremely difficult and dangerous.”

He had just mentioned the dangers of the game, but this kind of thing should always be mentioned again and again.

But no matter how solemnly these words were spoken, they were not as real as seeing it with one's own eyes, so most students did not take it seriously.

What's more, some people find it so exciting that they can't wait to sign up.

Dumbledore took everyone's reactions into account: "...As a result, the Ministry of Magic has decided to introduce new rules. Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, will now explain these new rules to everyone."

Barty Crouch, dressed in a suit and tie, walked to the front of the stage.

But before he could start speaking, another person came in from outside the auditorium.

As soon as this person walked in, many students exclaimed.

There is no other reason, this person's appearance is too scary.

He was short and slightly fat, with scars all over his face, a crooked mouth, and a nose that was missing where it should be. This made him look like a face carved out of rotten wood.

The hair on his head was sparse as if he hadn't washed it for many days. One of his legs was made of flesh and the other was made of wood.

This was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was his right eye, which was a bright blue artificial eye. Looking at the way it was spinning 360 degrees, I was afraid that this was not an ordinary artificial eye, but a magic eye.

This man is very famous. Even Yang Mei, who doesn't care about anything else, knows him.

"This is Alastor Moody, right?"

"I think the nickname 'Mad-Eye' suits him better than his real name." Draco had heard some stories about Moody before, but this was the first time he saw him in person.

All I can say is that the rumors are quite consistent with the reality. Apart from looking scary just as the rumors say, Moody's posture and expression tell everyone that he is a rude, violent, and angry person.

Yang Mei smiled playfully: "I heard that his magic eye gives him the ability to see through everything, including invisible cloaks. At the same time, he also has a vision without blind spots. To be honest, I am quite interested."

"Phil, do you want the magic eye?" Draco said in distress, "Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible to get it.

You can let Potter build up his reputation as a savior, get close to Moody, and then find an opportunity to take away his magic eye."

Yang Mei was a little impressed by him, in just a short while he said he had come up with a feasible plan.

"That's not necessary." Yang Mei declined. "I can make such an interesting thing myself, why do I need the one he used?"

Please, whether in the prehistoric times or in the small world before, when has he ever used second-hand things?

"But his magic eye can see through even invisible cloaks, so doesn't that mean he can also see through the clothes we wear? In other words, through his magic eye, he always sees people without clothes?"

Some people have special eyes with the ability of X-ray vision and can see through some things, such as people's clothes or jadeite stones.

But because the eyes are their own eyes and perspective is just an ability they possess, most of them are highly proactive and can activate this ability whenever needed.

As long as the subject who possesses this ability is a good person, he/she will not do such dirty things as casually looking at other people's naked bodies.

Moody's Magic Eye is different.

This was not an organ that he grew himself, but rather a non-motivated object that he fastened to his empty eye socket with a rope.

So what we are saying is that objects are not uncontrollable.

For example, a flashlight should be turned on when in use and turned off when not in use.

But looking at his magic eyes that are spinning around, they are lively and don't seem to be in a closed state at all.

Anyone sitting next to Yang Mei and hearing his words had a gloomy look on their face.

My goodness, isn't this an old pervert? ! No wonder he looks a bit creepy!

Blaise directly blocked Pansy behind him.

It was fine for grown men like them to be looked at, but how could a girl be hurt like this?! And Pansy was his fiancée!

In fact, when Yang Mei brought up this topic, she was just making a random guess.

But the more I thought about this conjecture, the more it seemed to be true, and the more I couldn't bear it.

Seeing how unhappy they all looked, Krum asked curiously.

Draco and the others felt that they couldn't just make themselves disgusted, they had to make everyone else disgusted as well, so they spoke very frankly.

Krum felt a chill and his stomach began to churn.

The other Durmstrang students also looked unhappy.

If it were in their school, they would have already rushed up with fists as big as sandbags.

But this is not their territory after all. They can't just start a conflict with others on the first day, even if this person is an old pervert.

These Hogwarts students who looked much thinner than them would probably just swallow their anger...

Up ahead, Dumbledore and Moody had already finished hugging.

Obviously Dumbledore knew about Moody's arrival, but he didn't expect that he would come when Barty Crouch was about to speak.

Compared with the two, Barty Crouch is more important.

Moody could only stand aside, trembling with a cane. When he felt bored, he would drink a few sips of the wine he brought with him. He would have to wait until others finished speaking before it was his turn to be introduced.
