Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 266, Section 264: This woman is bigger than Dudley!

"Roronoa, you are a disgrace to us," Draco muttered as he walked ahead.

Ron, unusually, did not argue because his name was called wrong, and obediently lowered his head to accept the criticism.

In fact, Ron regained his senses not long after imitating a duck, but his quacking and movements were still clearly displayed to others.

The key is to compare prices and then discard the item.

The fourth-grade discipline group consists of six people. The first five are basically unaffected, but when it comes to you, they start yelling.

Anyone would feel ashamed in that situation.

"Don't be so careless next time. Remember, in a fight, your opponent won't give you a chance to prepare."

Dudley patted Ron on the shoulder.

Ron blushed and lowered his head even further, his head almost completely hidden in his shoulder blades, his neck completely obscured.

That day, the Hogwarts professors seemed very busy, even their classes were rushed. Even Professor McGonagall was distracted several times. Mr. Filch, the castle caretaker, stopped chasing people around and instead took his cleaning tools to carefully wipe every tile inside and out as clean as possible.

The two little witches who forgot to clean their shoes before entering the castle were given a good scolding by Filch.

It seems to foreshadow something big about to happen.

However, when they asked the professors, everyone remained silent.

This made the young wizards even more curious.

Following the principle of asking Dudley if you don't know, Harry and the others found Dudley.

Sure enough, Dudley gave them the answer—the Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts this year.

"A three-way battle, it really is a three-way battle." Hermione looked bewildered upon hearing this, though she had had this suspicion all along.

Harry and the others didn't quite understand what the Triwizard Tournament was, so they quickly asked her.

The Triwizard Tournament was founded over 700 years ago and is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe, held every five years.

Well, although it's called a friendly competition, it's actually quite dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to death. The last three-way championship was terminated because the number of deaths exceeded the limit.

Normally, everyone should be sitting in the restaurant enjoying the exquisite and delicious food during the dinner, but today the professors personally led them to the outside of the castle, where they lined up in several columns according to their grade level.

The autumn wind was chilly, and the young wizards of Hogwarts shivered in the cold. As night fell, a bright, translucent moon hung in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, and the entire sky was filled with stars, making it a beautiful sight.

Many of the young wizards from wizarding families have already found out the news from their families, while only those born into ordinary families are still kept in the dark.

"As you know, I was supposed to attend Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Draco said to Crabbe and Goyle standing beside him. "This is a good opportunity to see their abilities and see if they are as... interesting as the rumors suggest."

Durmstrang places great importance on education in dark magic, and students are not prohibited from studying it.

It's said that it's not prohibited, but in reality, it's just not prohibited at all.

After all, Durmstrang had expelled a student in the last century because the student was researching black magic.

"I'm quite curious about Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I've heard it's full of handsome men and beautiful women."

Pansy hugged her best friend Daphne.

Beauxbatons is located in a valley in France where the climate is spring-like all year round. It is said to be a beautiful place, no less than Hogwarts. Durmstrang, on the other hand, is located in the Northland, where the climate is cold. As a result, the young wizards who study there are generally more rugged, both in personality and appearance.

"Hmph." Draco cleared his throat to express his dissatisfaction: "We have the most handsome guys at Hogwarts."

The expression on his face was practically saying, "Here comes the handsome guy."

Pan Xi glanced at him sideways, rolled her eyes, and shrugged.

Pansy's best friend Daphne then protested: "He could never be as handsome as Mr. Dursley, nor as beautiful as Miss Granger."

Her words were met with agreement from the Slytherin wizards around her.

"Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger are the best."

No one noticed that Astoria Greengrass, hiding behind her sister, glanced at Draco with a slightly shy expression.

"Miss Madison, it's a bit chilly, please put on a coat."

"A young wizard said to Madison with a slightly ingratiating tone."

As soon as he finished speaking, discontented voices immediately arose from all around.

Use mine.

"No, you should use mine."

Madison, the protagonist surrounded by countless little wizards, seemed oblivious to their presence, looking at the sky with disdain: "Hmph, an annoying fellow is coming."

At almost the same time, Dali also raised his head.

"They're here."

A colossal creature was seen rapidly traversing the deep blue sky, flying towards Hogwarts Castle.

A house is flying?

The young wizards exclaimed in surprise.

As they got closer, they were able to see what the thing looked like.

It wasn't a house; to be precise, it was a carriage the size of a house, pulled by twelve winged horses that soared through the air. They were all silver-maned horses, each about the size of an elephant.

A true Pegasus.

They have golden bodies, silver manes, and large, fiery gem-like eyes.

Extremely handsome.

'Perhaps these horses can help me?'

Dali's eyes gleamed as he looked at the towering Pegasus.

Pegasus is probably one of the few rare and magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

The carriage slowly landed, and the young wizards around it immediately made way for it, as a golden spiral staircase descended to the ground.

A shiny black high heel emerged from the carriage.

Next, the young wizards witnessed the most breathtaking scene ever seen: a gigantic woman stepped down from a carriage.

How big is it exactly?

"This woman is bigger than Dudley!"

Harry nearly popped his eyes out. He had never seen such a tall woman before. If he had to find a comparable figure in his memory, perhaps only Hagrid could compare to her.

No, Hagrid might even be half a head shorter.

Dumbledore stepped forward and warmly greeted the "giantwoman," who looked like a child compared to his own height of over 1.8 meters.

But at least it's above other people's knees.

This giantess was none other than Ms. Maxim, the headmistress of Beauxbatons.

Dozens of Beauxbatons students, both boys and girls, disembarked from the carriage with Madam Maxim. They were all around seventeen or eighteen years old, which would be equivalent to sixth or seventh year at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Dumbledore, has Karkaroff arrived?"

He'll be there shortly.

"Hopefully it's not too late; he's already late."

Ms. Maxim frowned, clearly very unhappy with Durmstrang's lateness. She had arrived right on time, so anyone later than her could only be late.

Beauxbatons is not an all-girls school, and Durmstrang is not an all-boys school.

Like Hogwarts, they are a co-educational school.
