Chapter 267 Where Are the Hogwarts Guests?

Jon and Hermione could hear that this so-called invited muggle teacher certainly did not voluntarily come here to be the professor himself.

But a wizard, especially one of Grindelwald's level, has many ways to get a muggle to "volunteer" to teach at a wizarding school if they want to.

This sounded a bit surprising, but it's not that important information, but Jon confirmed some of his inner suspicions.

Grindelwald's comeback is definitely not just to help Dumbledore, and he definitely has the idea of trying to achieve certain goals on his own, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to return to Durmstrang to become the Headmaster, and he wouldn't have emphasized the importance of the Muggle Studies class at the school.

In the second-floor stairway where Jon was talking to these portraits, a footstep sounded from somewhere above them.

And simultaneously with the sound of footsteps, there are several boys talking sounds, but their conversations are not in English, so Jon and Hermione couldn't understand what they are talking about.

Soon, those boys came to this corner of the second floor and saw Jon and Hermione together.

A total of three boys, all look tall and big, apparently older than Jon and Hermione, all holding a flying broom as tall as they are.

The boys had a curious look in their eyes, and one of them greeted them, but it was obviously a German language, which Jon could not understand.

Luckily, the kind noblewoman briefed Jon and Hermione on what that boy has said, and the boys looked at Jon and Hermione with an expression of understanding.

"Greetings, guests of Hogwarts, my name is. Viktor Krum."

Of the three, the most athletic boy with short, lean hair greeted them in extremely rusty English.

It was just when he greeted, his eyes unconsciously went towards Hermione and somewhat ignored Jon in contrast.

Hermione noticed his behaviour and couldn't help but wrinkle her tiny nose, then took a half step back and moved closer to Jon's side.

Jon rather paid attention to his name.

Viktor Krum, a champion of the Durmstrang School in the original Triwizard Tournament, and a star Quidditch player.

It just, if Jon remembered correctly, his grandfather seemed to have been killed by Grindelwald, and he himself had shown an aversion to Grindelwald.

Well, now the Headmaster of the Durmstrang is Grindelwald.

It seems he has little choice, even if there is a deep hatred, he can not directly rebel, right?

"Hello."

Jon smiled and also greeted them, drawing his gaze from Hermione to himself.

"We're exploring Durmstrang Castle, are you guys going to play Quidditch?"

The three boys looked at each other, and Krum suddenly opened his mouth and said something to his other two classmates who didn't know what to say, and then his two mates nodded to Jon and Hermione as a greeting and left downstairs.

"Today there is Quidditch practice. Scheduled. It's not. Important activity," Krum said, showing a very hospitable attitude, "but since you're guests of Hogwarts. I can show you some around the castle."

His English is not quite perfect, it's like a foreigner speaking not proficient English.

And even when he was saying this, his eyes could not help but sneak a glance at Hermione, until Hermione glared at him directly and fiercely, he panicked and pretended to be serious again.

"My name is Jon Green and this is Hermione Granger, I'm glad you could show us around."

Jon didn't care about the adolescent boy's awkwardness; he is curious about this Durmstrang under Grindelwald's control, and a student who obviously doesn't like Grindelwald or even has a grudge against him would be just the right person to talk to.

They walked along the second floor of the corridor, Krum as if he wanted to show himself in front of Hermione, took the initiative to find the topic, babbling something in English that would make people creepy, and introduced them to the classrooms and history of Durmstrang.

The exchange could not be one-way, and as he introduced Durmstrang to Jon and Hermione, he naturally learned from Jon how they had come to the school.

Jon did not explain too much about this, only mentioning that it was the Headmaster of Durmstrang who saved them from the Death Eaters' pursuit.

He could obviously see when he mentioned the "Headmaster", Krum's face couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.

This was enough to prove that the information in Jon's mind about the boy had been correct and that he certainly wasn't on good terms with his Headmaster.

"You are absolutely safe if you come to Durmstrang. We are allies with Hogwarts led by Dumbledore. Read the newspaper about how Dumbledore had a good battle in France, defeating that Dark Lord in a duel and bringing a great reversal in the situation."

Krum usually pays attention to some highlighted news in the newspapers, Northern Europe naturally will not hide what happened on the battlefield in France in the coverage, as a joint partner of Dumbledore, a part of the witching horizon, the defeat of Voldemort is certainly something to be greatly publicized.

"So those people under the Dark Lord must be wanting to capture you guys as a hostage. But don't worry, they surely won't dare to come over while you are here."

Krum patted his chest while saying that he also glanced at Hermione as if he could give them a sense of security on his own.

Just as they continued to walk ahead, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"What is the fifth school rule of Durmstrang."

When Jon heard the voice, he flinched, Hermione turned her head in confusion, and Krum froze.

He took a deep breath, so as to ease his emotions, and then turned around with his head down, and did not even dare to look up at the man.

"Be, be respectful to the faculty, sir."

Grindelwald's gaze was a kind of indifference, it was not that he had any special emotion towards Krum, but he looked at anyone with such an expression, under normal circumstances.

"Then what are you doing here now?"

Krum showed bewilderment, Jon could even feel his aggravation, Grindelwald's words were like a deliberate attempt to find fault with him.

He gathered up a great deal of courage before he spoke.

"I'm, showing Hogwarts' guests around the school, Sir Headmaster."

"A guest from Hogwarts?"

The corners of Grindelwald's mouth curled up in an odd curve. Then, in a flat tone, he uttered a sentence that directly made Jon, Hermione, and Krum freeze in place!

"He is your professor, the professor of Durmstrang Transfiguration class, where is the guest from Hogwarts."
