Chapter 269 267 Where Did the Guest From Hogwarts Come From?
Chapter 269 267. Where did the guest from Hogwarts come from?
Both Jon and Hermione could hear that this so-called Muggle teacher was definitely not invited voluntarily.
But wizards, especially wizards of Grindelwald's level, can find many ways to get a Muggle to "voluntarily" teach at a magic school if they want.
This sounds like a surprising but not so important piece of information, but Jon confirmed some of his inner guesses from it.
Grindelwald's comeback is definitely not just to help Dumbledore. He must have thought of doing something for himself, otherwise he would not have chosen to return to Durmstrang to be the principal, and would not have strengthened the importance of Muggle Studies in the school.
Just as Jon and his friends were at the staircase on the second floor, talking to these murals, a sound of footsteps came from above them from far away.
At the same time as the footsteps, there were also the voices of several boys talking, but their conversations were not in English, so Jon and Hermione could not understand what they were saying.
Soon, the boys came to the corner of the second floor and saw Jon and Hermione.
There were three boys in total, all of them looked tall and strong, obviously older than Jon and the others, and they were holding flying brooms as tall as them.
The boys' eyes showed curiosity, and one of them greeted them, but it was obviously a German language, which Jon and the others could not understand.
Fortunately, the kind lady introduced Jon and the others, and the boys showed a clear expression when they looked at Jon and Hermione.
"Hello, guests of Hogwarts, my name is Viktor Krum."
Among the three, the most sturdy boy with a neat short hair greeted them in very unfamiliar English.
But when he greeted them, his eyes obviously looked at Hermione unconsciously, and he seemed to ignore Jon.
Hermione noticed his actions and couldn't help but wrinkled her small nose, then took a half step back and moved closer to Jon.
Jon did notice his name.
Viktor Krum, the warrior of Durmstrang School in the original Triwizard Tournament, is also a star Quidditch player.
But if Jon remembered correctly, his grandfather seemed to be killed by Grindelwald, and he himself showed his disgust for Grindelwald.
Then in this Durmstrang where Grindelwald is the headmaster now.
Well, it seems that he has no choice. Even if there is a deep hatred, can he rebel directly?
"Hello."
Jon also greeted him with a smile, attracting his gaze from Hermione to himself.
"We are visiting Durmstrang Castle. Are you going to play Quidditch?"
The three boys looked at each other, and Krum suddenly said something to his other two classmates. Then his two companions nodded to Jon and Hermione, saying hello, and went downstairs.
"Today was supposed to be a Quidditch practice, but it's not a very important event." Krum showed a very hospitable look, "Since you are guests of Hogwarts, I can take you to visit the castle."
His English is really not very good, it feels like a foreigner speaking unskilled Chinese.
And even when he said this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Hermione, until Hermione glared at him fiercely, he panicked and pretended to be serious again.
"My name is Jon Green, and her name is Hermione Granger. I'm glad you can show us around."
Jon didn't care about the embarrassment of the adolescent boy. He was very curious about Durmstrang, which was controlled by Grindelwald, and a student who obviously didn't like Grindelwald or even had a grudge against him was just a good person to communicate with.
They walked along the corridor on the second floor. Krum seemed to want to show off in front of Hermione. He took the initiative to find a topic and chattered in English that sounded a little creepy, introducing the classrooms and history of Durmstrang to them.
This communication could not be one-way. When he introduced Durmstrang to Jon and the others, he naturally learned from Jon how they came to this school.
Jon didn't explain too much about this, but just said that it was the headmaster of Durmstrang who saved them from the pursuit of the Death Eaters.
He could clearly see that when he mentioned "headmaster", Krum's face could be seen to be stiff for a moment.
This is enough to prove that the information about this boy in Jon's mind is correct. He really doesn't get along with his headmaster.
"You are absolutely safe when you come to Durmstrang. We are allies with Hogwarts led by Dumbledore. According to the newspaper, Dumbledore's situation in France is very good. He defeated the dark devil again in a duel, which brought a great reversal of the situation."
Krum usually pays close attention to the news in the newspaper. There will naturally be no concealed reports on the battlefield in France in Northern Europe. As a party allied with Dumbledore and a member of the wizarding front, the fact that Voldemort was defeated must be widely publicized.
"So those men under the Dark Lord must want to capture you as a threat. But don't worry, they won't dare to come over if you are here."
Krum patted his chest and glanced at Hermione while speaking, as if he was the one who could bring them a sense of security.
Just as they continued to walk forward, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"What is the fifth school rule of Durmstrang?"
Jon was stunned when he heard this voice, Hermione turned her head in confusion, and Krum was obviously frozen.
He took a deep breath, as if he had just calmed down, then lowered his head and turned around, without even the courage to look up at the man.
"You must, respect your teachers, sir."
Grindelwald's eyes were indifferent. It was not that he had any special emotions towards Krum, but that he would look at anyone with this expression under normal circumstances.
"So what are you doing now?"
Krum acted very confused, and Jon could even feel his grievance. Grindelwald's words seemed to be deliberately picking on him.
He mustered up great courage and spoke.
"I'm here, showing the guests from Hogwarts around the school, Mr. Headmaster."
"Guests from Hogwarts?"
Grindelwald's mouth curled up in a strange arc. His bland tone made Jon, Hermione and Krum freeze in their places!
"He's your professor, the professor of Transfiguration at Durmstrang, where does a guest from Hogwarts come from?"
Fourth update! I'm confident enough to ask for monthly tickets, so throw two to me at the end of the month.
And if there are four more updates in the future, I'll combine them into two chapters. If the title says two-in-one, it means two chapters combined into one.
If nothing goes wrong tomorrow, there should still be four updates, that's it, good night
