Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

“…In recent years, Karkaroff seems to no longer just deal with the local Ministry of Magic, but really puts his energy into education. Durmstrang is still in good shape…at least as far as I know, many parents think they are The child did learn a lot at school.”

At the lakeside pier behind the castle, Marx is standing side by side with Professor McGonagall. Because it is located under the cliff, there are many vines on the entrance of the ship to cover the sunlight, making it appear a little dim all year round.

On the edge of the pier next to the two, a magic light was hung on a metal pole that was obliquely inserted into the ground, exuding a brilliance that was not too bright.

Right now, Professor McGonagall is talking to Marx about the current state of Durmstrang.

“Although I don’t know how Karkaroff suddenly changed his temper, but as long as he can continue this way, I believe that Durmstrang will sooner or later become the magic school that was popular with children in the past.”

Obviously, for McGonagall, she is more concerned about the future of the students – whether it is Hogwarts students or Durmstrang.

“Well, I hope so!” Marx shrugged said. “After all, children are the future!”

In fact, he knows exactly where Karkaroff’s changes come from.

When I first went to Durmstrang, I gave some suggestions to the other side. And Karkaroff began to focus on the development of education, mostly because of what he said at the time.

Of course, if you want to turn that sneaky old fellow into a caring headmaster, it is unlikely. That guy will do this, presumably to cultivate his fame and power that’s all.

The two were talking casually, and suddenly they saw a piece of water not far away like a boiled boiling water, constantly tumbling.

“Oh, come!”

The voice of Marx has not yet settled. Suddenly, a large black shadow rises from below the water. It was a huge sea boat, and the hustle and bustle of the waves immediately occupied his vision.

“peng!”

When the ship rushed out of the water, the bow was tilted up. When the hull was pulled back by gravity, it was naturally slammed on the water, and the water curtain that was provoked was almost smashed and moved toward Marx and McGonagall.

When Marx saw it, he immediately raised his hand and let the huge wave turn into a water column and pulled it back into the water.

“This reminds us at least, when we use it to move during the study tour… even if it is not a muggle port, remember to transfer the location too close to the dock! Otherwise, it will be easy for those who welcome us. Splashing on the body…”

After a large amount of lake water fell back, Marx smiled and spit.

“pa ta -“

As the springboard on the ship was automatically turned up at the front end of the dock, the cabin door was followed by a response. Several Durmstrang seniors responsible for driving the boat came out behind Karkaroff.

But to Marx, a little regret is that Krum has already graduated from Durmstrang and went to the Bulgarian team as his star Seeker.

“Hey, Mr. Karkaroff! It’s really long time no see!”

Marx greeted him at the time, and with a smile on his face, he was very friendly and shook hands with everyone, including several accompanying students.

If you want to get a deeper look, in fact, he is still a professor of Durmstrang until now – although he seems to have never taught even half a class from beginning to end.

“Well… oh, yes, long time no see…”

To be honest, Karkaroff is also smiling, but how to look at it is somewhat unnatural. He never forgot the “Expelliarmus” that Marx gave himself to the rather hard core.

Ok! In fact, Marx still remembers it very clearly.

“Mr. Karkaroff, this time you can use the change number for us. I really appreciate it! I have to say that in today’s magic circle, such a large magic vessel can be of great value!”

“No, you’re welcome!” Karkaroff pointed nodded at Marx, and then to Professor McGonagall. “Our two schools have been practicing each other since the Middle Ages. It is just a boat, not a major event!” ”

“The generosity of your school, we must remember in mind,” McGonagall immediately bowed. “Please – it’s time for lunch. If you don’t give up, please try our food again!”

When Helga Hufflepuff was still there, Hogwarts’ cuisine was famous all over the world. Although many recipes and cooking curses have not been handed down, in the house elf’s craft, there is still the imagination of Hufflepuff.

So at least for the school of Durmstrang, which never pays attention to the appetite, Hogwarts’ dinner is still quite attractive.

As soon as I heard that there was food to enjoy, the Durmstrang students wearing fur cloak immediately turned their eyes and looked at Karkaroff’s side.

“Oh! Of course – since the top three games, the children have always been obsessed with the food of your school! I am a few of them, if I dare to refuse, they have to fight with me!”

It can be seen that Karkaroff’s attitude towards students has indeed changed a lot. If you put it in the past, it is estimated that only a look of love will be given from beginning to end.

But in fact, he is going to stay here today to stop the meal – not to enjoy the food, but to talk to Marx about something.

Marx saw him look at him again, and he raised his hand and invited:

“Then please! I went to the kitchen before I came over. I thought the auditorium was ready there. The house elf has always been very good.”

After saying this, he only turned back and walked to the doorway behind the pier, and walked back and said:

“Don’t hide in it and sneak in! Don’t you want to see it? No one is stopping you… Now let’s make a decision, don’t gather in the hallway to block the guests!”

Right now, it is a short break before lunch. It is probably the time when someone passed by and found the movement here. As a result, it was spread one by one.

Since Professor McGonagall hasn’t told the students to travel on a boat until now, the young wizards are quite curious, thinking that Marx has come up with interesting ideas.

When Marx took the students who were amazed by these doubts, the Durmstrang entire group followed him and Professor McGonagall along the corridor to the main hall of the main fort.

……

“There are a lot of dark wizard gatherings in Norway and Sweden?”

On top of the dinning table, in addition to normal meals, nature is an indispensable chatter. And with the different people who open the topic, the content of the chat is often easy and serious.

Just like today, the topic that Karkaroff brings seems to be a bit heavy.

“Yes,” he nodded, apparently bothered by the incident. “Although the dark wizards who participated in the rally did not bother nearby residents, I thought that it was always a need to find out. problem.”

In fact, for the situation of the Nordic magic circle, most of the wizards have some understanding. There, the existence of the dark wizard is well known, it is no secret.

And because the dark wizard there has formed a fairly stable organization many years ago, they interfere with the local Ministry of Magic, and there are also quite strict rules within the framework.

To put it bluntly, the Nordic magic circle is a place where the dark magic is prevalent. Even the magic school like Durmstrang has some ordinary dark magic teaching.

Even so, the dark wizard is still a kind of person who is harmful to the maintenance of social stability. It is no wonder that Karkaroff and the local Ministry of Magic are worried about the frequent gatherings of dark wizards.

“What kind of assembly is it, is the Ministry of Magic inspected?”

Marx certainly knows what Karkaroff is worried about – nothing more than fear that those gatherings are related to Herpo, and maybe even what Herpo is personally hosting.

“Well, I don’t talk about Auror of Ministry of Magic. I hired someone to investigate it.” Karkaroff leaned back to Marx and leaned closer. “I believe you know, we are dark.” The wizard has a very large organization, and there are a lot more people than the Ministry of Magic…”

“But this time because of the birth of Herpo, there seems to be a clear disagreement within the management of the organization – some of the dark wizards want to rely on Herpo, while the other disagrees, thinking that Herpo will only be used as a victim. ”

Marx hearing this , followed by a slight nodded road:

“It seems that there are still smart people among them… So what is the gathering? What are the two people planning to split up and then do their work?”

“No, just the opposite!” Karkaroff frowned. “The two parties clearly know the importance of collective power, whether they want to follow Herpo or not, they don’t want to split. So…”

A little stopped, he couldn’t help but sighed:

“There may be a fight inside their organization, and once it happens, the scale will definitely not be small! Whenever there is Iceland outside of the world, the magic circle of the Nordic countries may have been messed up for a while… I am worried, that Herpo may intervene in secret.”

“Well,” Marx said first. “If it was picked up by Herpo, the dark wizard would indeed be a big problem—”

The voice fell a little, and Marx stuffed a piece of fresh and juicy beef into his mouth while he was honing himself. At the end, he added:

“In any case, let me know that Mr. Akinbad is right, and this matter is also under the control of the International Wizard Federation, isn’t it?”
