Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 503: The Exchange Team Arrives! The Other Continental Teams Make Their Appearance!

A huge crack appeared in the grass, from which rose a small hill radiating a dim, magical light.

A moment later, the cracks in the ground healed, and the small hill stood firmly on the open space.

Then, a portal appeared in the lower part of the hill, like a cave, and the hillside below the cave entrance turned into rock steps.

Mr. Babajid Akinbad, a powerful African wizard who enjoys a high reputation in the international magical community and is regarded as the next president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Instead of wearing a suit or wizard's robes, he was dressed in wild clothes made of animal hide, with feather ornaments on his head, and led fifteen Vagado students dressed in the same style as him out of the magical hill.

He spotted Dumbledore in the distance and let out a hearty laugh: "Mr. Dumbledore, you look much younger than me these days!"

Don't be surprised by my attire. After all, I'm here as the leader of the Wajadu school delegation for this exchange program, so I should wear our traditional Wajadu school uniform to show my unique style!

“Mr. Akimbard, welcome to Hogwarts.” Dumbledore greeted them, with Professor Joseph Kamar beside him.

Professor Youssef has African ancestry and his skin color is more like that of a Black person. He was chosen by Dumbledore to be the host professor during his exchange studies in Vagabond.

During the subsequent conversation, Mr. Akimbard also thoughtfully mentioned that if there was a shortage of rooms in the Hogwarts dormitories, their Vagabond students could stay in the 'Holy Mountain' during their exchange studies.

'Holy Mountain' is the name of the magical vehicle they traveled in.

This magical little mountain, which is full of life, can not only travel quickly underground like it can be burrowed into the earth, but also has a huge interior space that far exceeds its external size. It can be used as a subway or a house, making it a magical version of a motorhome, which is quite practical.

Hogwarts Castle already had many vacant rooms, and after Dudley and Dumbledore's magical renovations, there was even more space and more rooms, more than enough to accommodate guests who wanted to exchange ideas and study.

However, out of respect for their lifestyle, Dumbledore allowed Mr. Akimbard and his Vargadu students to make their own choice.

Mr. Akimbard has no problem with it.

As they chatted and laughed, a giant wooden flying boat appeared in the sky from the southwest.

The giant wooden flying boat was entirely dark green, transformed from a single ancient Green Heartwood tree. Mysterious patterns covered its surface, radiating a soft magical light. Numerous vines covered the hull, growing and twisting naturally, serving as handrails and various facilities.

The statue emblem on the bow of the flying boat indicates that it represents the Castelobuscher School of Magic from South America.

The giant wooden airship slowly descended and stopped beside Iphamoni's phantom train. Immediately, a cluster of vines grew rapidly at the bow of the airship, intertwining and extending to form a vine staircase.

An elderly wizard with a scholarly air led thirteen male and female students dressed in bright green robes down the vine-covered steps.

Dumbledore sprang into action once again, greeting him with a smile.

This time, Professor Slughorn and Snape accompanied Dumbledore.

Because the wizard leading Castrobusch's team this time is the internationally renowned Potions Master, Libashe Pollach, whose book "Advanced Potions Making" has been the Potions textbook for Hogwarts' sixth and seventh year students for many years.

His other book, "The Complete Guide to Potions in Asia," is also an important potion reference book for Hogwarts students.

Although Snape was more skilled and added more superior annotations to Master Ribashy's potion recipes in his Half-Blood Prince Notebook, it must be acknowledged that Master Ribashy was one of the giants who advanced in the field of potions.

Therefore, Snape, who was traveling with Dumbledore, treated Master Libach fairly well; although he didn't smile, he didn't appear gloomy either.

Professor Slughorn, on the other hand, treated Master Libashu much better.

He and Master Ripashu were about the same age, considered contemporaries, and had extensive academic exchanges in the past, making them very good pen pals and friends.

Based on this, the younger Professor Slughorn was appointed by Dumbledore as the principal host professor at Castelobusch School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during their exchange program.

Following Castellobuscher's procession, an Australian porpoise with an eagle eye flew in from the southeast horizon, a small carriage strapped to its body.

This is the team from the small Australian magic school that Dudley selected.

They clearly lacked the resources of those long-established, large magic schools; managing to acquire a fire dragon to make an impression was already their limit.

The Australian White-eyed Dragon is of medium size among the many dragon species, but it is the most beautiful.

They have shimmering, pearly scales, and their eyes are multicolored, without pupils, and can spew out bright red flames.

More importantly, they are not aggressive, have a relatively gentle attitude towards humans, and are easy to tame; a few sheep are enough to win their favor.

Dumbledore did not discriminate against the Australian team because they were relatively weak; he greeted them warmly in the same way.

This put the slightly nervous middle-aged Australian wizard in a relaxed mood. He led his five students out of the small carriage, which had been expanded by the Unseen Stretch Charm, and spoke with Dumbledore.

Afterwards, Leta and Theseus went up to the wizards leading the Australian team, who would help the Australian team adapt to their upcoming life at Hogwarts.

The appearance of the Australian protein-eyed fire dragon also attracted the attention of Norwegian spinyback dragon Nober in the Hageron enclosure.

Norber, whose size far surpasses that of its kind, took flight and hovered above Hagrid's hut, gazing at the Australian Protein-Eyed Fire Dragon in the playground and letting out a roar.

Instead of acting rashly, it sent its thoughts to Hagrid through the mental communication channel formed by the contract.

The Australian Protein-Eyed Fire Dragon on the playground sensed that Norber's aura was far stronger than its own. Instead of engaging in a fight, it lowered its head to show submission.

Hagrid quickly sent a telepathic message to Norber, informing him that the Australian tarantula was not there to take its territory.

Norbert then flew back to the Dragon House.

After calming Norber down, Hagrid was also drawn to the exceptionally beautiful Australian Fiery Dragon. He temporarily abandoned his chat with Mrs. Maxim and approached the dragon to talk to the Australian wizard leading the group.

Newt also came over, looking at the Australian protein-eyed dragon with admiration in his eyes.

Just then, the melodious and pleasant sound of ancient Chinese music suddenly came from afar.

Wizards from all seven magic schools, including Hogwarts, looked up at the music and gazed towards the eastern sky.

The next moment, an indescribably beautiful scene came into view.

The eastern sky was bright and clear, dispelling the gloom of dusk.

Numerous auspicious clouds, shimmering with colorful hues, carried a colossal Chinese palace slowly closer.

The palace was surrounded by melodious ancient music, and there were also phantom images of dragons and phoenixes, and cranes flying around, making it seem like a fairyland.

In terms of the spectacle of their debut, the Chinese team, which appeared last, was arguably the most impressive.
