Chapter 268 266.Portrait

The students of Hogwarts were settled in the Great Hall of the castle.

There is a simple arrangement here, and it looks like Durmstrang is ready to take them over in advance.

Rozier did not restrict Jon and the others' freedom, but most of the students were still a little nervous in a strange environment, and they were not in the mood to walk around the castle.

Jon was curious about every magic school. He mentioned it to Rozier and said he wanted to visit the school.

In response, the Vice Principal of Durmstrang did not refuse, but just asked Jon if he still needed a guide.

Jon declined her kindness and had no intention of asking a guide to follow him. However, Hermione did not want to sit in this auditorium all the time, so she and Jon came outside the auditorium.

Compared with when they first arrived here, there were not many Durmstrang students in the corridor at this time. They seemed to be attending the last class of this afternoon. After this class was over, it was dinner time. For Huo Huo Gwartz students arrive to host a banquet.

"Actually, there is nothing to be curious about in this school. Even if the culture and customs are different, the three magic schools in Europe are basically the same. What we should really pay attention to is what they are learning now."

After walking out of the auditorium, Jon and Hermione walked up the stairs together, talking quietly to her.

"As I told you just now, Hogwarts Castle used to be an open and equal school. The reason why it became what it is now is because Voldemort became the principal, and the current principal of Durmstrang is not He is an ordinary person, so what I am really curious about is what different changes he has made about this school.”

Unlike Jon, Hermione did not know the true identity of the old man known as "The Headmaster".

"Is the principal of this school a very famous person?"

No matter how studious she is, only about a year has passed since she was rescued from Hogwarts Castle on the carriage, and she is still not at the point where she even knows the history of the wizarding world.

Jon shrugged.

"Of course it's famous that while the current Dark Lord was still in school, Professor Dumbledore was preventing the headmaster of this school from dominating the world."

Hermione's eyes widened.

"Professor Dumbledore has a hostile relationship with him?"

"The kind that fell in love and killed each other." Jon said casually, "They used to have a very good relationship, but then they parted ways due to ideological issues. Later, the reason why the professor became so famous was because he was in a game. Winning the duel that will determine the future of the magical world."

"Now then" Hermione said hesitantly.

Jon said calmly.

"From the current point of view, it seems that they have reached some kind of agreement and are getting back together. But to be honest, if you know the past ambitions and things of the principal of this school, I don't think he just wants to help. It was so simple for Professor Dumbledore to defeat the Dark Lord. He may have other ideas of his own, or maybe he has rekindled his ideals before he was defeated by the professor."

While they were talking, they had reached the corridor on the second floor of the castle, and a portrait of a wizard wearing a wooden mask and black robe suddenly shouted loudly.

"Tell me your name! Outsiders! This is Durmstrang, and you will not be allowed to run wild!"

He spoke English with a slight Welsh accent that both Jon and Hermione could understand.

They did not ignore this portrait. Most of the portraits in the Magic Castle were actually another manifestation of the people in the painting, which meant that they had the thinking of normal people, but most of them were a bit exaggerated and funny.

"Hello sir, we are students visiting from Hogwarts."

"Aha! It turned out to be a spy from Hogwarts!" The masked wizard began to walk back and forth in the frame excitedly, "What do you want to do? You are still worrying about the results of the Triwizard Tournament held in Durmstrang that year. Are you dissatisfied? It’s useless! The championship belongs to Durmstrang! You can’t take away the Triwizard Cup!”

He seemed to be immersed in his own world. Even if Jon just greeted him with an ordinary hello, he could come up with all kinds of weird answers.

"If Luna comes, she will definitely like to communicate with this painting." Hermione muttered.

"Moon! What moon? You plan to attack Durmstrang with werewolves on a full moon night and take away the Triwizard Cup! It is indeed the despicable Hogwarts! I have to report to Green immediately, oh, no! It's Ba Principal Saudi! We must not let your tricks succeed!”

He screamed and ran away from his picture frame, shouting "Bagshot is the greatest principal, he will definitely stop your conspiracy" while rushing past other pictures.

The people in the other portraits looked at the rude masked wizard angrily, and then a group of people crowded into a frame and watched them whispering in a German-like language that Jon and Hermione could not understand. .

One of the portraits of a well-dressed lady glared at the other portraits, as if she was embarrassed by their impoliteness, and then she spoke to Jon and the others in somewhat unfamiliar English with an apologetic look.

"I apologize to you for Shackleton's behavior. Boy, that's what happened to him. He was expelled from Hogwarts, and then admitted to Durmstrang, so he changed his mind when he heard the name of Hogwarts. Gotta be a little nervous."

"It's okay, ma'am." Jon thought for a moment, "Can I ask you what courses Durmstrang usually takes?"

"Of course it's no secret." The lady looked very kind, she said with interest, "Although I haven't been to other magic schools, the curriculum settings of the three European magic schools should be no different. The main courses are basically spells, transfiguration, defense against the dark arts, potions, herbs, astronomy, etc., but the focus of Hogwarts' courses is more balanced. I heard that Beauxbatons pays more attention to alchemy, and we at Durmstrang include duel magic in the teaching routine."

The information Jon wanted to know was obviously not these, he raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"What else?"

"Besides that." The lady smiled and said, "Because of our headmaster Bagshot's unique hobby, he listed Muggle Studies as a major course, and it is also a compulsory course for students after entering the first grade. For this, he even invited a real Muggle teacher from the Muggles."

When she said "please", her face was obviously embarrassed.

There is still one chapter, half written
