"Once Headmaster Allen Harris activates the core for us shortly, we Beauxbatons people will likewise find it easier both to cast magic and to practice Alchemy, and this will lead us toward prosperity as well."

One wizard's uniform and one witch's uniform floated up into the air, slowly rotating 360 degrees to display themselves from every angle to the wizards who had originally been watching the city rise. The new uniforms retained Beauxbatons' original blue-gray color scheme and still used silk fabric, but the style had shifted from modern to the style of the ancient magical empire. A large number of belts that could hold all kinds of things, such as potions, gas masks, and magical diaries, made them look much more practical and full of a research-oriented air, bringing them in line with Hogwarts' popular style. Only the slight waist tailoring preserved some of Beauxbatons' sense of fashion.

Now Beauxbatons will begin Hogwarts-model cooperation
