Hogwarts Homecoming

Chapter 397 Reception (Part 1)

In the resplendent and resplendent banquet hall, respectable wizards from all corners of the world were drinking wine to the slightly cheerful tune.

The receptions that Amosta has participated in are not too many. Some time ago, after he became famous for killing Greyback, he stayed in London for a while in order to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's plan. At that time, he was invited to participate in the reception All of a sudden, there was an endless stream, and Amosta chose to participate.

The current reception is not much different from the ones he participated in in London, but he is no longer the absolute center of the reception.

Barty Crouch and the senior officials of the French and German Ministry of Magic were surrounded by a circle of people. Mrs. Maxime of Beauxbatons and Principal Karkaroff of Durmstrang were talking with the international Talking to people from the Wizarding Union, Ludo seemed to let himself go, he seemed to have completely forgotten his mission, and was bragging about his career with everyone who toasted him.

In addition, there was no shortage of guests around the little girl brought by Mrs. Maxim. Many people at the reception pretended to pass by her just to have a closer look at her.

Of course, Amostar has never lost anyone around him.

What people are most interested in about Amostar is nothing more than how he killed Greyback. There are quite a few people who are interested in the basilisk. After all, the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been passed down for thousands of years, and many people have coveted the 'secret treasure' that might exist in this secret room.

However, there are indeed not many people who show awe to Amosta. The wizards who appear here are all leaders in the magical civilization of various countries. It is not enough to deter these proud wizards just by relying on the magic power of killing werewolves. Ge, in the eyes of these people, it's hard to say how much role Dumbledore played in the werewolf incident!

Perhaps it was Albus Dumbledore who wanted to push Amosta Brayne to the top, which may have directed a good show.

After a while, Batty got rid of the officials of the German and French Ministry of Magic. His sharp eyes swept across the audience, and instantly engraved the actions of those noteworthy people in his heart. Then, his eyes fixed on Amo On Star's body, there was a slight surprise in the falcon-like eyes.

It's too easy for a young wizard.

In the Ministry of Magic, wizards in their early twenties might still have the 'intern' logo on them, just like the girl named Tonks under Rufus, Batty knew she was excellent, but still A 'Apprentice Auror'.

"Amosta--"

After pondering for a moment, Batty decided to put aside his prejudice for the time being. He picked up the wine glass and walked over, and the wizards around Amosta also left on their own with great insight after seeing Batty coming.

After Batty gave Amosta a slightly stiff smile, the two saluted each other with wine glasses, and each took a sip of sherry.

"how do you feel?"

"The wine is good, and the wizards here are quite friendly—" Amosta said tepidly with a slight smile on his face.

Batty understood Amosta's meaning, his beard moved slightly,

"But the purpose of holding this reception is not for people to make friends." Batty looked at Mrs. Maxim and Fleur, who calmly dealt with those wizards who thought they were handsome, with a slightly cold gaze. Delacour, Batty lowered his gaze, his voice was slightly disdainful,

"Mrs. Maxim's purpose of bringing that popular female student from Beauxbaton School of Magic here is obviously not pure. She wants to rely on her to gain people's favor. I'm afraid you don't know, Amosta, this girl has Veela lineage."

Amosta glanced at Fleur Delacour who was smiling confidently, and smiled irrefutably.

How could he not see it, how many purebred Veela has he seen?

"So," Amosta glanced vaguely at Igor Karkaroff, who was complimenting an old wizard with a white beard who looked not young,

"Karkaroff looks like a gentleman, and he came alone."

"gentleman--"

The corners of Batty's mouth twitched a few times, and he said coldly,

"Yeah, you see what Karkaroff is, right? As far as I know, there are famous people in Durmstrang School. It's not that he doesn't want to bring the kid, but the kid is a Quidditch Stars are preparing for the World Cup right now, and they just can’t get away.”

"These tricks are not very clever—" Amosta sipped her sherry and joked, "If this works, I can go back to Hogwarts and call Harry Potter over now, Harry's Fame will not lose them."

Batty glared at Amosta in dissatisfaction. He said that these Amostars should be more vigilant, but Amosta looked useless.

"The sorcerer Karkaroff is talking to is named Vip Dragan, have you heard of this man?" Batty asked in a low voice.

"Vip Dragan."

Amosta pondered for a while, and said slowly,

"There is indeed a reflection. This person seems to have worked in the Federation for many years. After the fall of Grindelwald, he has a lot of prestige in hunting down those extremists. He seems to want to go further, but Mrs. Vikcia Santos never After the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards stepped down, the Ministry of Magic of all countries agreed to let Dumbledore take office.

It is said that he was very dissatisfied with this, and privately in the Federation he had been at odds with Dumbledore. "

"He is one of the eleven members of the jury, and there are two people in the jury who have a close relationship with him."

Batty said in a sullen tone, "So Karkaroff is fawning on him."

After Batty pointed out the identity of this person, Amosta frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that this person is hostile to Hogwarts. If he is the only one, that's fine. But if he can interfere with the choices of the other two, then to a certain extent, it is equivalent to him being able to decide who will host the third party. Strong competition.

"If Dumbledore was here, Vip Dragan might not dare to speak out publicly, but since he is not here now"

Amosta nodded, "You think he'll take the chance"

"None of us can vouch for his character." Batty said dryly.

Batty left, and the review committee was not the only one present at the banquet. Mrs. Maxime was also seeking the support of other committee members, and Batty also wanted to do the same work.

Amosta looked at Karkaroff and Vip Dragern who were talking calmly. Batty's meaning was already obvious just now, and he hoped to get Vip Dragern done by himself. But, it's not that easy, right? If there is no benefit transfer, it's very difficult for this person to let go of his prejudice and make a choice from a fair point of view.

And Batty also told him before that the members of the judging committee had signed a magic contract and were not allowed to accept the benefits of the three parties participating in the election.

Of course, there are more tactful ways, but Amosta is still weighing whether to intimidate or lure.

"Mr. Blaine—"

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind Amosta, and he turned his head to see that it was the little girl of Veela blood from Beauxbatons.

"Huh?" Amosta raised her brows slightly, and said with a smile, "What can you tell me, Miss Delacour?"

"Oh, I just—"

Fleur Delacour shrugged her shoulders, she wanted to show a confident smile, but under the abyss-like gaze of the handsome man in front of her, her smile seemed a bit cramped.

really weird--

Fu Rong thought, generally speaking, she would not feel this awkward feeling in front of men.

"I just—, I think we should get to know each other, don't we, I mean, we each represent Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, and the Triwizard Tournament is a friendship event—"

"ah--"

With a smile in his eyes, Amosta nodded knowingly,

"Are you trying to convince me to support Beauxbaton School of Magic as the organizer of the Triwizard Tournament?"
