The Hogwarts exchange students quickly got into the mood in Demstrand. What made them happy was that they did not have to worry about being late for class at all. Compared to the Demstrand Hogwarts, which had a total of 142 staircases, the staircases in Demstrand were much friendlier.
For the Hogwarts exchange students, the most challenging part was the classes themselves. It wasn't that the professors' classes were difficult to understand. It was just that the young adepts of Durmstrand were trying their best to compete with the Hogwarts exchange students in class, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The Demstrand professors were happy to see this. They felt that the principal and the Hogwarts had jointly launched the exchange program. The atmosphere of the school had changed. Unfortunately, the Hogwarts exchange students could choose their own classes at any time. The experience of teaching with or without them was very different. If there were no Hogwarts exchange students in a class, even the professors themselves would feel a little listless.
The most intense classes were the black magic and dueling classes. These two classes were not offered in Hogwarts, and were also the most popular classes among the Hogwarts exchange students.
The black magic class was held in an underground classroom. Not only was it cold, but compared to the grand and simple design of the castle above, the dark green candles on the walls and the various animal specimens placed along the walls exuded a sinister and terrifying aura.
Professor Pavlichenko was a short, middle-aged witch. She had almost green skin and sharp teeth when she spoke. Her ten nails were black and bumpy, which was definitely not the color and effect that glossy nail polish could achieve. However, her blue eyes were very beautiful. Although her gaze was empty and cold, it was like the deep sea, merciless but charming.
"Black magic is not evil magic. It is just different from ordinary magic. Just like the Guardian Spell, some black magic depends on the will of the user. However, if you do not have a certain level of knowledge about the soul and death, you will not be able to understand the mystery of black magic. If you act rashly, the consequences will be very dangerous. Be careful to learn about black magic, lest you become a victim of black magic. However, since you want to rely on the power of darkness, let me tell you, do not be afraid. The pursuit of the power of darkness comes from the survival instinct and desire in your heart … "Her voice was rough and hoarse, almost a little higher than a whisper. Although she spoke in English with a strong accent, the exchange students could still understand every word she said.
Just like Professor Mag and Professor Snape in Hogwarts, she also had the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order without any effort.
However, this did not prevent her and her black magic class from becoming the favorite class of the exchange students in Hogwarts. They were not that superficial. Professor Pavlichenko looked scary, but they could see how considerate and thoughtful she was. For example, the above speech was originally for the first-year wizards who had just started learning black magic. The reason why the professor repeated it in the senior class was to take care of the exchange students from Hogwarts who had never taken a black magic class before.
Before going to the duel class, the exchange students from Hogwarts were well prepared. They all knew that Allen had shown his invincible power, so they had to be prepared. They were very likely to be challenged in the duel class, and they could not bring shame to Allen and the Hogwarts. Even Malfoy had secretly put on a few magical protective gear in a hidden place on his body.
They were not the only ones. Professor Carson Monte, who taught the duel class, was also filled with anger and anxiety. After regaining control of his body in the cellar, he saw the TV that was playing in front of him. Out of reflex, he reached for his wand to cast a curse on Allen, but he did not manage to do so. When he was about to ask his family for help to take back his room, he was yelled at by his family before he could even leave his room.
The local Ministry of Magic received the television and the video edited by Alan from the British Ministry of Magic. The British Ministry of Magic strongly protested against the unfair treatment of the exchange students at Hogwarts and threatened to release the video to the public if it wasn't handled properly. They also threatened to cause trouble for the Hogwarts exchange students. This kind of behavior could be considered to have caused an international dispute, and the iron-clad video evidence made the local Ministry of Magic extremely angry. Embarrassed, they directly went to Carson Monte's Monte Family. Not only were the various properties under the family's name subjected to various forms of inspection, but various special privileges were also gradually taken back. This was a punishment for Vice-Principal Monte's abuse of power, as well as an explanation to the Ministry of Magic in England.
Not only did their plan to take revenge on Harris have to be postponed, but their family's interests also suffered a huge loss. They directed their anger at Vice-Principal Monte, telling him to restrain himself in the school and not to make decisions that would bring shame to the family.
This yelling letter was like a bucket of ice water poured over Vice-Principal Monte's head. It also extinguished his thoughts of asking Allen to return his room. In addition, every word of Allen's threat seemed to be ringing in Vice-Principal Monte's ears, so his family of three decided to live in the cellar.
When Vice-Principal Monte entered the classroom, he was very nervous. If that despicable Allen Harris continued to challenge him in class, Demstrand might not be able to attend Vice-Principal Monte's class anymore. However, to his surprise, the class went very smoothly. Allen Harris behaved like a good student in class. There was no sign of him causing trouble at all.
Malfoy did not care how complicated Monte's feelings were. In fact, other than the class, he was looking forward to tonight's banquet. Allen told him that the wizards who worked in Demstrand, where Harris came from, would hold a grand welcome banquet for them. Among the exchange students, other than Luna who was very close to Allen, Allen only brought him along. This made Draco very happy.
That night, they and the Umbrella Team were invited to Kakarov's dormitory, where a few empty tables were temporarily set up. Allen and Luna were specially invited to sit at the main table. They were accompanied by Kakarov and Family Harris who worked as professors in Demstrand. The team members were scattered and sat with the guards who were sent to protect them. Draco was handed over to Long Eyes, who was said to be second only to the Wolf Mother in taking care of children.
Kakarov remained standing, and the dining hall gradually quieted down. "Good evening, colleagues from Family Harris," Kakarov said with a smile. Kakarov said, looking around at everyone with a beaming face. Ever since he learned about Carson Monte's experience, his smile had never faded from his face. "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you like in your own home." Kakarov opened his arms and made a welcoming gesture.
The plates in front of them were immediately filled with food. Black caviar, pickled cucumbers, pies, pudding... These unfamiliar foods attracted the full attention of the Hogwarts exchange students. These exotic dishes were different from those of England, and they were placed in front of them in a variety of different dishes.
"Braised beef. In the eighteenth century, Duke Stragonov's family chef combined French braised beef with Russian sour cream sauce to create this fragrant and tender classic combination." Long Eyes took some braised beef and introduced it to Draco. Then, as if he remembered something, he pointed to a large bowl of red soup and recommended it to Draco. "This borscht is a little spicy, and a little sour and sweet. I see you like sour food on the ship? I think you'll like it. The two of us should be glad that there are no Swedes here today. If we had to take care of them and let the Swedish 'delicacies' be served, we probably wouldn't be able to eat it. You know, they have a lot of people in Demstrand. "
"I'll try," Draco said and prepared to take a bowl of soup for himself.
"I'll raise a glass of wine to welcome the newcomers," Professor Pavlichenko suggested as she raised a glass full of vodka. Kakarov had fired many professors to make room for the elite wizards of Family Harris, and Professor Pavlichenko was the first Demstrand staff to defect to Harris.
"Excuse me, but can I have a cup of Earl Grey tea?" Draco had to put down his spoon and ask.
? "Ah, the British drink vodka mixed with black tea." Pavlichenko shook her head and looked sideways at Draco. She used her heavily accented English and gestured with her hands. "In our country, all other drinks are frozen in late autumn." She then raised her glass and looked at her colleagues with a proud smile. "Except for vodka."
Looking at the people who raised their glasses one after another, Draco looked at the glass in front of his table and hesitated. He then asked the long-eyed man beside him for help. "But I'm still underage. According to the law, I can't drink."
? "Minors in Demstrand can't drink either. But this is just vodka. In fact, you'll know the culture here after a few days. I graduated from here too." The long-eyed man with a hint of nostalgia saw the hesitation on Malfoy's face and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you say you won't miss any black magic classes? If you don't drink when Professor Pavlichenko raises the glass, it'll be like how you used to insult others in England."
Draco was a little stunned. "Huh?"
The long-eyed man continued to whisper in his ear. "Do you want to insult the professor who teaches you black magic? I've known her for a long time. I suggest you don't do that. "
Draco turned his head sideways and looked at Professor Pavlichenko, who was holding a glass and listening to their whispers. As a student of Slytherin Academy, this was the first time he felt that the color of her almost green skin was so terrifying. He quickly shook his head, and his voice sounded a little shaky. "No, I don't want to."
The long-eyed man looked at the cowardly little snake and held back his laughter. He nodded to Draco and said, "Then finish it. Down it in one go."
Draco dully imitated the others, raised his glass, and then drank the vodka in the glass with everyone. In an instant, he felt the liquid in his stomach burning. His pale face suddenly turned red, and within a minute or two, he was lying on the table, unable to get up.
Long Eye let his cloak fly over from the clothes rack in the distance and covered Draco who had fallen into a deep slumber. "I'm really good at taking care of children." After saying that, he changed his gentle demeanor and drank the rest of the vodka in the glass. He took the bottle from Professor Pavlichenko and drank with them.
Luna, who was sitting in the main seat, did not have to worry about drinking. The professors obviously would not make things difficult for a little girl who was brought here by her family's heir. Although they were sitting at the highest table in the room, the atmosphere was more relaxed and harmonious. Everyone was not bound by etiquette. After introducing Allen, they all enjoyed the food in front of them.
Luna tilted her head and stared at a plate of white, creamy paste. She smeared it on a small piece of black bread with a knife, and imitated the actions of several old wizards. She opened her mouth and swallowed it in one go. Then, under Allen's surprised gaze, Luna suddenly stood up from her chair. Her back was straight, and as she stood up, the paste slid down her throat. Her big, bulging eyes instantly widened and became rounder. She hurriedly poured the vodka in front of her into her throat like ice water. The next second, she choked and coughed.
"Miss Lovgood really knows how to enjoy good food. I like this traditional delicacy the most. Smear pickled pig fat on black bread and eat it with vodka. In the cold winter, this way of eating will provide you with enough calories. You know, if the professors here were not born in Eastern Europe, it would be difficult for them to accept this, "Kakarov complimented.
