HP's Foreign Land

Chapter 824 Mionir's little friend

one,

The correspondence between Heimdall and Professor Snape is not frequent, but every time the professor replies, Mr. Chairman Sturluson will be tossing hard, and then he cooperates with Professor Roy Laurent to do a two-pronged approach, like two The sharp sword poked Mr. Chairman in the back, forcing him to overcome obstacles on the road of potion science.

Heimdall secretly complained more than once about the hot hand of the two professors—they must have had a lot of discussions in private about how to deal with him as a partner. The donkey in the mill can still satisfy his thirst with carrots hanging in front of him. Not only is he not motivated by braised chicken thighs, but Chinese cabbage I can't bear to hang one for him.Mr. Chairman feels that his life is really hard.

Even so, Heimdall honestly explained Professor Laurent's analysis of his prospects in the letter. If the two professors really exchanged letters as often as he imagined, there is no need to write to inform Professor Snape himself. Knows everything.But it was one thing for Heimdall to be afraid of potions, and another to be lenient when he confessed to the professor.He had a hunch that if this incident didn't leak from him, Professor Snape's "torture" on him would definitely bring forth new ones in the future.

After the letter was sent, Heimdall heaved a sigh of relief. Based on the previous reply interval, he could still be free for a few days.Unfortunately, one day later, a brown-winged and white-spotted ghost owl flew into Durmstrang, and the mail fell on Robert Maroney's head after releasing its claws, which made the third grader very angry light.

Maroni has been extraordinarily clean and self-conscious since he returned to the school team after working hard. He changed from an ignorant son overnight to a good student who speaks and does things with discipline.The magnitude of the changes is jaw-dropping, and even Laura Manco, a professor of the history of magic who has always been calm, is in a trance from time to time.But no one would accuse him of turning back, and as for whether Maroney really turned his back, probably only he knew.

The ghost owl fell from the sky and knocked the prudent and sensible Maroni back to his original form in an instant. The third grader grabbed the mail and jumped into a rage.All kinds of eyes around him forced him to bow his head and sit down. The mail in his hand was about to be twisted into twists. Fortunately, the classmate next to him reminded him, and he suddenly woke up. He opened the mail and read the name, and his face became even darker. point.

One minute later, Heimdall holding the "Twist" reassured Maroni, who was "good at picking up money", that he would never kick him out of the school team because of the other party's unconscious behavior. gone.

"In the eyes of those lower grades, am I a small-minded person?" Heimdall asked his buddies. (PS: A friend corrected it last time, and only then did I realize that I had been writing Xiaodujichang as Xiaojichang... Thank you very much, please continue to supervise.)

Li An is a good boy who dares to tell the truth—actually, he is a bit lacking in heart, "I don't know if you have a small belly, and you will be punished. Don't you realize that no one dares to offend you? The offense is small, and fear of being retaliated by the chairman of the student union is life." unbearable weight."

Heimdall made a decisive decision, "Notify the director of your broomstick laboratory and ask him to settle the money for this school year as soon as possible, otherwise I will make a new rule of 'no credit from the broomstick laboratory from now on'."

Lian cried, "Isn't this what revenge is? They are so cruel to their own people, how can the delicate and soft juniors resist?!"

"If you continue talking about it, it's an advance payment." Chairman Sturlusson calmly threatened.

Ryan closed his mouth aggrievedly.

The tense atmosphere over the heads of the seventh grade disappeared after Grian made a gag, and Carlo and Leon laughed.

Only then did Heimdall look at the newly received "Twist", and flattened the letter, only to find that it was not one letter as he thought, but two.One was a reply letter from Professor Snape - this time the speed was frightening; the other letter could not be seen from whose hand it was.

Heimdall dismissed Snape's reply letter without hesitation. As expected, the first concern was about his imminent graduation exam, and there were many words of encouragement in it, not just belittlement.Thinking of Snape's sharp diction for marking homework for Hogwarts students was already very tender to him.The entire reply letter has only one central idea, asking him to take the graduation exam seriously, focus on the present and look forward to the future in a down-to-earth manner.To be honest, the wording is a bit of a teacher's formulaic attitude towards students, but Heimdall is comfortable watching it. If Snape suddenly becomes warm and caring, Heimdall will definitely be shocked.

At the end of the letter, Professor Snape changed his style and wrote "to be continued". Heimdall speculated that the professor might want to meet with him, but the professor didn't think about how to arrange it when he replied to the letter.He silently folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

The letter that arrived with Professor Snape's reply was carefully opened in Heimdall's doubts. He believed that Snape would never do anything against him. Considering the dangerous stalemate in the UK, Chairman Sturluson cautiously used his wand to open the envelope and pull out the letter inside.

The milky white letter paper carried a fresh scent. Heimdall had never seen this kind of letter paper before, and he was not sure whether the scent was safe, so he quickly stepped back to avoid the permeation of the scent.Under the influence of the spell, the letter paper was laid flat, lifted up by the magic wand and suspended on the table.

It wasn't the first time Carlo saw him so cautious, but he hadn't seen him recently, so he was unavoidably curious for a while, so he leaned over to take a look.

"Who wrote it? It's beautifully written." Carlo praised.

The dark green ink is spread profusely on the milky white perfume paper, and the gorgeous print-like handwriting reveals a self-confidence that cannot be ignored, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Heimdall has seen many people's handwriting since he was alive. When he was a child working in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, he would always ask the credit customers to leave their names.So far, there are three things that have left the deepest impression in my mind. One is the signature of my uncle Lucius in the Bokin-Bock store; Three is the diary of my mother, Ivy Malfoy.

The words on this perfume letter today—compared to the neat words that he was most praised for, but he recalled it for a long time, but found nothing.

The content of the letter is simple and easy to understand, and it doesn’t take the words too seriously. It opened with a heart-to-heart—complained a few words about the difficulties of the graduation exam with sympathy, and put himself in the shoes—from the point of view of the letter—provided him with a lot of ways to deal with it. The method of the graduation exam also mentioned the highest qualification exam certification for wizards granted by Hogwarts. At the end of the letter, there was a long list of books, and one-third of the titles Heimdall had never read.

Heimdall was still at a loss until he returned the letter to the envelope. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and he didn't sign the letter at the end.

"What's the matter?" Leon saw him thoughtfully.

"It's okay." Heimdall smiled. He originally thought that the letter was written by Sirius Black, but he knew he had guessed wrong when he saw the words at first sight.

The source of the letter is very strange, and the content of the letter is also so friendly that people can't figure it out. One thing is certain, it comes from England, except that it goes the same way as Snape's reply letter. The NEWT mentioned in the letter made Heimdall decide to keep it. manner.Since the owner of the letter had good intentions—let’s think so—then there was no need to be unfounded, so I turned my head to look for the extracurricular reading materials listed in the letter and seize the time to "pull the seedlings and encourage them to grow".

two,

After many searches, he finally found Ganlan, the house elf of Victor's grandfather Sergey, in the Rhodope Mountains.Father Plov took Victor's busy work as an excuse to succeed his son and continue to "do his filial piety" in front of Mrs. Krum. Victor had already seen that Mrs. Krum was unwilling to tell him about the past. It was all to keep him by his side, and he used both soft and hard tactics to let him take Mionier over.

He accepted his father's kindness and let out a deep breath after leaving the Rhodope Manor. Once upon a time, the big house full of childhood memories had been shrouded in suffocating depression.Everyone is restless in it, and he is no exception.

Victor turned to the mountain without saying a word, and the searchers sent back news that Gan Lan refused to leave there.

The place where Gan Lan is currently located is in the middle of the mountainous area. There are several Muggle families who live by hunting. The world knows something, but is wise not to mention it.

After the death of Sergey Krum, Gan Lan hid from the public eye and hid in this small Orion Village, where he continued to work.

Victor was very surprised by this result. House elves are generally less likely to accept work that is not authorized by their masters. Facts have proved that Gan Lan was instructed by Sergey to work there. It firmly believes that it has been working there for so many years. Working for Krum's.

"Mr. Krum." Gant, who was guarding the door, greeted him.

Victor nodded to him, and moved his gaze to the humble hunter's hut behind Gant. It is said that this hut belonged to his grandfather. When he was alive, he often pretended to be a Muggle and sneaked into the village, and went into the mountains with the Muggle hunters.

"How is it?" Victor asked.

"Fiona tried to communicate with the elf inside, but the other party was very uncooperative and kept silent to us." Gant smiled wryly. "We really can't help it." They didn't receive any order to play by ear, so they didn't dare to let go.

"Thank you, you have worked hard." Victor patted Gant on the shoulder.

Gant hastily put on an air of humility.

Victor continued, "I won't stop you from reporting these things to Mr. Sturluson. In fact, I have already mentioned Ganlan to him. You can save me a lot of money by telling him the process and results of your search." thing."

Gantt, who was seen through his mind, was ashamed and embarrassed. The husband and wife confided in each other, and they did not deny that if he made his own decisions, he might be self-defeating!

Wanting to clarify this point, Gan nodded, "I will write a letter to Mr. Sturluson."

Victor raised the corner of his mouth, "I heard that you want to work on fungi cultivation?"

"Yes." Gant said cautiously.

Victor took out the letter of introduction that he had prepared a long time ago, "If you need it, take this letter to my cousin Bernick, and he will arrange it for you." Bernick is now in the world of magical animal breeding in Eastern Europe He was like a fish in water. Although fungal cultivation is not a field, it has a better way than the athlete who catches snitches with one hand.

Gantt took the letter of introduction ecstatically and thanked him again and again.

"I heard that you have participated in a new training course, and you can create good opportunities yourself. Maybe my kindness will be superfluous by then." Victor rarely had the patience to be courteous.

Gant was blushed by Victor's words and shook his hands again and again.

When Fiona came out, she saw such a scene. Although her mind was full of doubts, she still kept a calm face and said hello to Victor.Victor nodded and walked into the room.

The two young men didn't leave immediately. They stood under the eaves and waited silently. After a while, the house-elf's heart-piercing cries erupted in the house. Those "Master" really made people feel sad...

The two looked at each other and left there.

three,

Heimdall held the colorful cartoon letter and couldn't help smiling when facing his son's bright eyes full of expectation.

"You've been communicating?" Heimdall asked.

Mionier nodded, "Hans, Mionier, friend."

"You mean that little Hans Burley is your friend?"

Mionier nodded again.

This little baby from the Sturluson family always likes to pick out key words when speaking. I don’t know if he is lazy. He seldom speaks a complete sentence, but his key words will not make people confused.Heimdall sometimes doesn't know whether to praise his son for his cleverness, or worry that he has learned shortcuts since he was a child without a teacher.

Little Hans Boli was a new friend that Mionier met at the wizarding fair on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium last time. He was a kid from Germany and was two years older than Mionier.The kid was a bit mischievous, but his mouth was sweet. When he saw Heimdall, he called him brother. After he found out that Heimdall was Mionir's father, he still didn't change his words. He even winked at Mionir and praised his father for being young and handsome.

Baby Xiaomi doesn't understand the connotation of a friend's flattery, can Heimdall not understand? !Such a young child pretends to be mature, which is really dumbfounding.It's a pity that I didn't see Little Hans' parents that day. I don't know if his parents are the same.

The reason why the child is called "Little Hans" is because the father of little Hans is also named Hans, and the father and son have the same name and surname.

"You gave little Hans the mailing address?" Heimdall didn't believe that Mionnier would make a claim.

Mionnier thought that little Papa was upset, and said uncomfortably, "I told grandpa, and grandpa agreed."

Heimdall recalled what he was doing that day, he seemed a little absent-minded, and didn't pay much attention to his son's affairs, and he felt guilty when he thought of this.

"I'm sorry, Dad didn't pay attention that day. Since grandpa agreed, then there's no problem." Heimdall picked up his son and kissed his face. "Does Mionnier like to correspond with little Hans?"

"I like it!" Mionier smiled. "Hansquami can draw!"

In fact, Baby Xiaomi has no requirements for the communication partner, as long as the other party can satisfy his desire to show off his painting skills, he doesn't mind even a nagging old man.Mionier is only three years old, and the other party is only five years old. It is impossible for the two dolls to communicate with each other through words. Their communication is realized through drawing.

Heimdall handed the graffiti letter back to Mionnell, "What did little Hans say in the letter? Mionnell read it to Dad, okay?"

Mionier held up the letter paper solemnly and said, "Gonna be two years old..."

"Go away?" Heimdall stared at the dark mass of letter paper, he seemed to be able to see two eyes, and needed to find his mouth for a while.

"The kitty," Mionier said.

"Little Hans' cat and raccoon?"

"Ah."

"Go on baby."

"Dad bought a box of cakes."

"Little Hans' father bought a box of cakes?"

"Celebrating a birthday."

Oh, it's the cat's birthday. It seems that this pet is more popular in Boli's family.Heimdall carefully identified the "father" in the painting. He was dressed in black wizard robes, with a bald head and a pair of huge glasses that seemed to have been estimated to be the wrong size...Heimdall suddenly felt that this image seemed familiar.

Mionier continued to read, "The cake is too big to finish."

Heimdall nodded.

"Eat with Mionir."

"and then?"

"It's over."

"..." Little Papa was puzzled, "Little Hans is going to send you a cake?" He remembered that his son hadn't received any other unknown items except for letters today.

"Hans eats with Mionir," Mionir explained.

Heimdall thought for a while and figured it out.

"Little Hans wants to ask you out to eat cake?"

Mionier nodded, his eyes began to sparkle again.

"No problem, make an appointment, try to choose a weekend." Heimdall instructed.

Mionier smiled happily and rushed to the small table to reply.

Bean Pod jumped onto the small table, circled around Little Hans' graffiti letter, and jumped off the table again.

Heimdall, who was about to bathe the king, couldn't help sniggering. The black cat tried to interpret it out of curiosity, but failed.

four,

The European Wizarding Education Evaluation Conference has sent three groups of people to Durmstrang for investigation and inspection. The results of the investigation are ambiguous, as if there is hope, but they seem to be standing still.All in all, all kinds of ambiguity, all kinds of urgency, all kinds of no context.

Principal Karkaroff is one of the patients with anxiety syndrome, and another "sympathetic" is the late member Beto Prodi in the principal's gallery.In fact, these two people should have a common language, but the reality is that one uses Karkaroff to criticize and scold Huai all day long, while the other hears Beto's name and is afraid to avoid it.

Karkaroff called the student council president to his office.

"Look at this." He angrily threw a newspaper on the table.

Heimdall picked up the newspaper. On it was the latest batch of survey results announced by the European Educational Evaluation Conference. Some were happy and some were sad.Durmstrang must be among the saddled, because Durmstrang's name is not on the list at all.

"What is the evaluation of us by the inspection team?" Heimdall asked.

Does the European Education Evaluation Conference not give the results of the investigation?White turns three times in Durmstrang?Is the entire German school wasting their emotions in vain?Fortunately, under the mobilization of Mr. Chairman, they were full of energy and radiant in front of the members of the inspection team.

"The answer they gave me is pending." Karkaroff pulled out his hair anxiously.

Heimdall wondered if they were still struggling with the black magic factory? !

"Look at these schools!" Karkaroff became so angry that he grabbed the newspaper and poked the names of those schools with his fingers. "This! And this! The most abominable thing is this, what Marie Meyer! What a crappy school! A crappy yard that you can get into for a few bucks is actually on the list?! The European Wizarding Education Evaluation Conference is insulting Durmstrang !"

It seems that Durmstrang can also pay for it.Heimdall didn't dare to make trouble at this time, but this Malimeyer really hasn't heard of it... It seems that he has heard of it somewhere.Heimdall really couldn't remember it, so he put it behind him for the time being.

"You asked me to come..." Heimdall wondered if the headmaster would just complain about himself?Professor Katenin is not here?

"Stulusson, Durmstrang's future depends on you!" Karkaroff sat down beside Heimdall and looked at him affectionately.

The president of the student union was seen covered in cold sweat.

"Rely on me? Stop joking." Heimdall laughed dryly.

"I'm not kidding, you know how important educational evaluation is to us in Durmstrang, you've been to the conference and understand what a small evaluation means. Durmstrang has a long history, strong strength, and an international reputation , now the only thing missing is a legitimate title. You can't refuse, I believe you can do it!" Karkaroff was moved, and made another move, "I assure you, as long as Durmstrang successfully advances To the evaluation ranks, this year's outstanding alumni winner is none other than you!"

Heimdall was tongue-tied, and almost got mad and agreed.

"Professor, wait a minute," Heimdall said blankly. "I don't understand what you're saying, why me? No matter how powerful I am, I can't influence the decision of the European Educational Evaluation Conference."

Karkaroff thought that Heimdall was being modest, and said bluntly, "I know this matter is confidential, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders. I am the principal of Durmstrang, and now I am the only one who begs you, and I will never Let me hold you back, don't worry."

Heimdall became even more confused, "...what makes you think I'm capable of doing it?"

"It was revealed to me by your father Rommel Strulusson," Karkaroff said.

Heimdall left the principal's office inexplicably that day and wrote to his father that night.The next morning he did not wait for a reply, so he left Durmstrang under the cheerful urging of Mionnier, preparing to rush to the meeting place for Xiaomi and his friends.

The father and son saw Hans and Hans at the door of the toy store, and Heimdall suddenly felt enlightened.

Little Hans is his father's old man, and Mr. Hans Burleigh only had such a baby bump when he was over fifty years old, so he naturally loved and responded to every request.

Hans Burleigh seemed to have expected it, and was not as surprised as Heimdall.Under the gaze of the two dolls, Mr. Burleigh, with a bald head, a pair of large rectangular glasses, and wrinkled eyes, smiled and said, "Hello, Sturlusson."

Heimdall quickly pulled out a smile.

Hans Burleigh is one of the important organizers of the concluded European Wizarding Education Evaluation Conference, and is also one of the main participants.They once had a question-and-answer session at the conference that might not have been pleasant, and Heimdall didn't know how he evaluated himself.Since the other party knowingly did not stop Little Hans and Mionier's friendship in order to avoid suspicion, does it mean that Durmstrang really has hope?
