Chapter 544: Beauxbatons
"Oh my God, what's that?"
"It's a dragon!" a first-year student screamed, unsure of what to do. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't be stupid, it's a house flying!" Dennis said.
His guess might have been closer, but it was more accurate that it was a rune-drawn carriage.
When Evan visited Beauxbatons before, he had seen these rune horses.
They are about the size of elephants, with a white-gold color, a beautiful silver mane, fiery red eyes, and are rare magical creatures that usually inhabit the rivers in the forests near Beauxbatons School.
Rune horses are known to be one of the branches of the extinct fantasy species Pegasus, which is a cross between Pegasus and Giant Horse.
Probably due to the mixed breed, the success rate of rune horses is very low, and the growth cycle is slow.
Rune horses eat a lot of food, and they are extremely delicate, they have extremely high requirements for feed, and they don't eat ordinary forage at all.
Once not well cared for, they will get sick and die.
Someone once calculated that the annual cost of a rune horse was probably the cost of a hundred or ten wizarding families.
Probably only Beauxbatons and Nick Lemay, who look at gold as a stone, can afford to raise so many rune horses.
Of course, the benefits of owning a rune horse are also very obvious.
You know, Rune Horse is probably the closest magical animal to Pegasus at the moment.
In many legends, the sacred Pegasus is the mount of the gods, which is of great significance.
Due to various characteristics, Pegasus was used as a mount in ancient times when warlocks still existed.
Later, due to over-capture and the destruction of the living environment, Pegasus gradually disappeared and became extinct.
Now all the little wizards raised their heads and watched in astonishment the black behemoth pass over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, and when it was illuminated by the light of the castle window, they saw that it was a great powder-blue carriage flying towards them.
It was the size of a house, and twelve winged horses pulled it into the air.
"I'm not mistaken, am I?!" a seventh-grader exclaimed, rubbing his eyes vigorously, "It's Pegasus, a magical beast that has been extinct for thousands of years, I've seen it in books." ”
His voice trembled because he was so excited.
Hearing his words, the little wizards around them looked at the huge carriage in disbelief.
The carriage circled over Hogwarts Castle and seemed to show off.
Dozens of seconds later, the carriage flew lower and landed at an extremely rapid speed.
The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly stepped back, clinging to each other to make way for the huge carriage.
Then, I heard an earth-shattering thud, and the horses' hooves slammed to the ground, all the size of a vegetable plate.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on the huge wheels.
At the same time, the golden rune horses shook their massive heads, their big fiery red eyes rolling slightly.
The door slowly opened, and a boy in Beauxbatons' light blue school uniform robe jumped out of the carriage.
He bent down, fumbled for something on the floor of the carriage, and then opened a golden spiral staircase.
The boy jumped back respectfully, and then everyone saw a shiny black heel sticking out of the carriage.
It was Madame Maxime, and her shoes were about the size of a child's sleigh.
Everyone at Hogwarts was amazed again, they had probably never seen such a big woman in their lives, and several people even gasped in shock.
In their opinion, Madame Maxim was almost the same height as Hagrid.
But maybe it's because everyone is used to Hagrid, so they think she seems to be even bigger and stranger.
At this moment, Madame Maxim had reached the bottom of the stairs, and was turning to look at the wide-eyed crowd.
When she stepped into the light that spilled from the foyer, they found that she had a handsome olive face, dark, watery eyes, and a pointed nose, and her hair was combed back and curled in a shiny bun at the base of her neck.
She was wrapped from head to toe in a black forged garment, and many precious opals shone around her neck and on her thick fingers.
As the young wizards stared at her in a daze, Dumbledore began to applaud.
Soon the classmates also clapped their hands, and many of them stood on tiptoe, trying to see Madame Maxim more clearly.
Her face relaxed, an elegant smile bloomed, and a glittering hand reached out toward Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, though also tall, barely bent over when he kissed the hand.
"Dear Lady Maxime," he said with a smile, "welcome to Hogwarts. ”
"Dumbledore!" replied Lady Maxime in a deep voice, "I haven't seen you for a few months, I've heard something, and I wish you well." ”
"Very good, thank you. Dumbledore said.
"These are my students. Madame Maxim nodded, waving her huge hand nonchalantly behind her.
At this time, everyone seemed to notice that about twelve or thirteen male and female students had disembarked from the carriage.
At this moment, they were standing behind Madame Maxim, in the great shadow she cast.
Judging from their appearance, they are all about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they are all trembling slightly.
This is not surprising, as the robes on their bodies appear to be made of fine silk.
Moreover, no one wore cloaks, and most of the girls had their heads wrapped in scarves or headscarves.
Only Gabrielle didn't do that, her little head looking excitedly to the left and right, whispering to Fleur next to her in French.
As soon as they got out of the carriage, Evan saw the girl.
This guy seems to be a little too excited, and he doesn't have the reserve of a girl at all.
Evan heard a lot of boys around him talking about Gabrielle's pretty.
Although it has not yet grown, the Meiwa bloodline in her body is enough to attract the attention of men.
If Fleur next to her put down the scarf on her face, it would probably cause a sensation throughout Hogwarts.
Gabrielle's eyes wandered through the crowd, and then, she saw Aven.
The girl had an angelic smile on her face and kept waving at Aven.
All the young wizards at Hogwarts turned their heads, and Evan suddenly became the center of attention.
Everyone was curious about how he met this French girl.
The other Beauxbatons students also looked at Evan with obvious wariness and disgust on their faces. (To be continued.) )
