Chapter 195 Cultural Exchange
Fortunately, the extra-rich meal prepared by Hogwarts today saved the students whose facial expressions were completely stiff.
"Merlin - Jade, the kitchen gave you a special meal?!" Daphne exclaimed.
Even Jian Yu was surprised. After more than three years at Hogwarts, the meals in front of her had never been so rich.
It was the first time she knew that one of the house-elves at Hogwarts could cook Chinese food!
Although their flavors are all British Chinese food, such as sweet and sour chicken, fried noodles, fried cheese dumplings, etc.
But it’s better to have it than nothing!
Soon, the Durmstrang students sat down at the Slytherin table.
Among them, Krum, the famous Seeker, seemed particularly busy, as groups of students came to exchange names with him, and girls even took out their lipsticks and asked him to sign their hats.
"I can't believe it, it's Krum!" Draco was so excited that he quickly took the seat next to him, leaned forward and started a round of self-introduction, "Welcome, I'm Draco Malfoy, the seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team -"
They soon began to talk, and when they talked about Durmstrang, Krum said in somewhat stiff English:
"Yes, we teach dueling and various forms of martial magic, it's a big part of the curriculum."
“We also have a castle, four stories high, with extensive grounds, and an alpine lake behind the school where we can go diving.”
But soon their conversation became unpleasant, especially after Pansy mentioned that Gellert Grindelwald came from Durmstrang.
"I don't think you are his fan, otherwise I will duel with you on the spot." Krum said angrily, "He killed many people, my grandfather was one of them - of course you British people should not worry about this, he is afraid of Dumbledore -"
Jian Yu lost interest instantly.
She thought of the stories of her guardian's youth.
In this case, even if she was admitted to Durmstrang, Dumbledore would never agree to let her go there.
Her gaze slid to the side and rested on the Beauxbatons students sitting at the Ravenclaw table.
As if sensing her gaze, a stunningly beautiful girl turned around. She had long, silver hair like a waterfall, a pair of big blue eyes and a mouthful of neat, white teeth.
She seemed very interested in her, stood up with the plate, walked up to her, and smiled:
"Excuse me, can I sit here and eat with you?"
Daphne stared at her warily and moved nervously towards Jian Yu.
The girl also smiled at Daphne and sat down opposite Jian Yu. This made Daphne blush with anger, feeling that all her tricks and thoughts had been seen through.
"My name is Fleur Delacour." She was very interested in the sweet and sour chicken in front of Jade Jane. She scooped up a piece and put it on the plate. She said in English with a French accent, "I guess you are Jade Jane, right? I'm sorry that my English is not very good. What's worse is that I don't speak Chinese at all."
After getting Jian Yu's confirmation, Furong's interest in talking suddenly became higher.
"Madame Maxime kept talking about you on the way here. I heard that you were a good friend of the Flamels—"
Jian Yu put on a sincere smile.
“Yeah, we did a lot of research together.”
Furong's eyes widened and she exclaimed:
"Oh my god, this is actually true! Did you know that they graduated from Beauxbatons? The castle and land of the school were partly funded by them!"
"The fountain on our campus is named after them. It can beautify and repair..."
After Jian Yu had a commercial exchange of praises about her strength and beauty, Furong became even happier:
"Mr. and Mrs. Flamel wrote to us asking us to take this opportunity to communicate with you more! I think they are right!"
"But why don't you transfer to our school? I think I can propose it to your principal..."
Hearing this, the little snakes around looked at her with unhappy eyes, and even the students who were attracted to her at the beginning became much more sober.
They muttered things like "Hogwarts is the best" and "Beauxbatons has bad intentions", and sent other students to forcibly divert Fleur's attention.
But Jian Yu could hardly help but applaud the Flamel couple!
What a powerful assist!
It is equivalent to donating a teaching building to the school to help her enroll!
She needs to communicate more with Madame Maxime!
......
She quickly seized the opportunity to communicate with Madame Maxime.
Because the next day was the day Dumbledore adopted her suggestion and specially arranged a special course exchange activity.
The event was very successful and successfully made a group of Hogwarts students yearn for the two schools.
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Durmstrang is very interesting! Of course, they are very tolerant of the Dark Arts themselves—"
"It's just that Professor Moody doesn't look too happy! He demolished Professor Karkaroff's desk several times in one class!"
The students at Hogwarts were talking about it. After experiencing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class with a changing professor every year and the fluctuating teaching standards, Durmstrang's teaching method had completely conquered them.
"And there's Potions class! I really hope I won't have to brew potions in front of Snape's dark face again in my life!"
"Look at Beauxbatons. It is said that their students will not be scolded by the professor even if they blow up the cauldron! Instead, they will be comforted!"
On the other hand, students from the other two schools also developed a yearning for the Charms class at Hogwarts.
Madam Maxime praised Professor Flitwick's video game teaching method and was completely attracted by it.
"This is a very relaxing and enjoyable teaching method!" she exclaimed. "It greatly reduces the damage to the classroom caused by students who cannot control their spells!"
"I can see the students' love for Charms! Looking at their eyes, they are burning with passion and enthusiasm, as if they are all brave warriors!"
She held a game console in her hand and had a round of competition with Professor Flitwick. Both sides were evenly matched and laughed at each other.
"I think Beauxbatons should also introduce this." She leaned over and put her face close to Jane's. "Miss Jane, how can I buy the custom-made one?"
Jian Yu smiled and added chips:
"I would be happy to give your school a few as a gift to introduce ourselves to each other."
"You may not know that this is a joint endeavor between Mr. and Mrs. Flamel and I, and I think it can serve as a bond of friendship between us—"
In order to facilitate the transfer, she has already added enough weight to the other party.
This greatly pleased Madame Maxime, and the opal ornaments on her body swayed with joy, and she changed the way she addressed her:
"Oh! Jade, dear, you are so sweet! I don't know how to thank you!"
Jian Yu politely introduced her purpose:
"I have seen the demeanor of Beauxbatons students, and I have been looking forward to seeing the excellent school under your leadership."
"If you would be so kind as to grant me this small request—"
Madame Maxime looked even more delighted. She quickly introduced Beauxbatons to Jane with a smile and extended an olive branch:
"Of course, of course! We welcome you to be an exchange student!"
"Our school's palace is very beautiful, surrounded by gardens and fountains, with forest fairies singing during meals and ice sculptures during festivals."
"If you have no other opinions, I will discuss this matter with Headmaster Dumbledore!"
The more she looked at Jian Yu, the more satisfied she became!
He was admitted with financial aid and had excellent academic performance. This was a student that no principal could refuse!
What's more, she was a student personally recommended by the school's major donors, the Flamels!
Even if you are just an exchange student, it is an honor!
She can be included in the bulletin board of outstanding alumni!
Jian Yu also smiled with satisfaction.
It's almost done!
I guess she just needs to wait for her exchange student life in a year!
This is really unimaginably smooth!
