Since Principal Dumbledore announced and explained the relevant matters and precautions of the Triwizard Tournament at the end of the dinner last night, he placed the trophy burning with magical flames - the 'Goblet of Fire' in the foyer of the Great Hall for the purpose of After all the students who were willing to run for office on behalf of their respective schools had access to it and threw the parchments with their names on it into its flames to participate in the campaign, there had not been a moment of silence here until noon today.
Countless students who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, whether out of curiosity about the competition or out of confidence in their own abilities, all come here without exception either openly or secretly, and then they will be written on The parchment with his name was thrown into the Goblet of Fire, and the parchment was reduced to ashes in the flames of magic, becoming one of the many candidates for the Triwizard Tournament.
Then,
Of course, in addition to those confident and brave students, there must be those guys who are not old enough and capable but still have to make up the numbers.
However, it is lunch time now, and there are actually very few people in the foyer of the auditorium...
Because most people have already gone to have lunch, those who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament have already registered last night or in the morning. In addition, tonight is Halloween, and the three schools will be announced by then. The list of candidates, so the only people who have come here to sign up now are some sneaky 'people with ulterior motives' and a few reserved guys.
For example, earlier, the two twin brothers who held their chins and hurriedly left the scene amidst the ridicule of the crowd, those two twin brothers George and Fred who liked to do weird things and sell strange items? Of course, among them are the lower-grade students who were directly ejected by the age line of the Goblet of Fire.
After all, according to the age line established by Principal Dumbledore and surrounding the Goblet of Fire, students who are not old enough are definitely not qualified to participate in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament, and not being old enough is equivalent to learning magic and mastery. If the relevant knowledge acquired is not enough, then there will definitely be no way to freely deal with various difficulties that arise in the Triwizard Tournament... After all, the Triwizard Tournament is not a game. Once something goes wrong during the game, the most serious The situation is really directly fatal, and that is not something to be joked about casually!
Isn’t this?
'Uh ah...'
A scream sounded out, and then, after a short period of silence, the foyer suddenly became noisy again!
It sounds like someone tried to sign up illegally and was ruthlessly bounced by the age line of the Goblet of Fire?
'Ah! Is he okay? '
'fine! But it's definitely not going to be too good...'
'Let me just say, he is only in the fourth grade, how can he be qualified? I know him as Fred and George's brother, hasn't he learned the lessons of his brothers? '
'have no idea……'
'Okay, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. '
'Yeah, it's time to eat, I'm almost starving. '
'Let's go...'
However, after bursts of commotion and gloating laughter, perhaps because it was lunch time, the place finally became quiet.
After all, that kind of thing has happened many times since last night, and many students at Hogwarts did not take the principal's warning seriously... so now they can only He just laughed at it and didn't take it too seriously, something he had seen many times before.
'...'
'hateful! ! '
When all the people in the foyer were gone, a certain guy who had just been ejected got up again and tried several times. However, he found that there was no way to throw the parchment with his name on it into the flames. After putting it in the cup, he finally tore up the paper in annoyance, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the paper basket aside.
'hiss……'
'it hurts……'
The boy who was laughed at and signed up for overestimating his abilities turned out to be Ron!
He touched his cheek and found that his face seemed to have been scratched due to the wrong landing posture. While feeling annoyed in his heart, he could only look at the Goblet of Fire with hatred and some reluctance. After taking one look at the age line around it, he turned around dejectedly and hurried out of the foyer.
He must leave here as soon as possible before more people come to the foyer of the auditorium and see his embarrassment, otherwise, he will be laughed at again!
Although, he is not the first one, nor will he be the last person to try to register... However, the fact that he had a fight with his brothers, and then came to register for the Triwizard Tournament and was rejected by the Goblet of Fire is still more... The less people know about it, the better.
'...'
'Hey! Hermione, what a great day it is! '
'We just had a big dinner last night, but it happens that today is Halloween again. I just saw Hagrid. He commanded several large carriages to transport a lot of super giant pumpkins. I think tonight's The dishes must be very rich, right? '
'Harry...'
'I don't think there's much to look forward to. The house elves at Hogwarts were busy all day yesterday, and today they have to prepare Halloween dinner for us. That kind of thing is not fair to them at all. ! ! '
'ah? '
'But Hermione, the house elves are happy to do that...'
'No! Harry! '
'You are not them, how do you know they are willing to do that? Look at them, they are all so thin, they have no salary, no holidays, no new clothes, and no one even cares about their feelings! ! '
'But……'
'Hermione, you are not a house elf, how do you know they are not happy? Maybe, they like to work originally...'
'Also, they really don't like new clothes...'
The two of them were walking towards this side from a distance, and they were talking about some things at the same time. Soon, after Harry's last retort, which was a little unconfident, the two of them finally arrived. Outside the foyer of the auditorium, I saw a slightly embarrassed figure rushing out of the foyer, almost bumping into them who had just passed by.
"Yeah~!"
"Ah! You...Ron?!"
Obviously, Harry and Hermione were startled by the other person's sudden appearance. While exclaiming, they hurriedly reached out to help the other person before he almost hit the guardrail of the corridor. A somewhat embarrassed opponent.
"Ron, what are you doing?"
Harry was a little strange. He and Hermione had just gone to dinner and hadn't seen Ron. He was still a little strange in his heart, but who would have thought that the other person would hide here?
However, what puzzled Harry was that the other party came here instead of eating as usual during lunch time. What kind of trouble was this?
"I said Ron, you are really..."
"etc!"
"It's strange. You just came out of the foyer...ah! I think I know. You actually went to sign up for the Goblet of Fire. Are you really crazy?!"
"Did you just fall on your face?"
Hermione and Harry looked at each other and exclaimed.
Because, the two of them saw Ron's disgraced look. There was even a scratch on his face. It looked red and the skin seemed to be broken. Then they thought about what was placed in the hall, and I saw a similar situation this morning. How could the two of them not know what the other was doing and hiding here without going to eat? !
It was obvious that Ron must have signed up to compete, and the result was self-evident. The injuries on the opponent's face said everything.
"I'm not crazy!"
"I... I just want to give it a try. It doesn't matter if I give it a try anyway..."
Ron opened Hermione's hand that wanted to check his face and refused to check the injuries on his face.
Because he felt that there was nothing wrong with him. At most, he only scratched his skin slightly and felt a slight sting... Later, he immediately went to Madam Pomfrey's place and asked for some potion to apply on it. That's it, it shouldn't be a big deal, so there's no need to embarrass yourself in front of these two friends!
Besides, he's not the most serious.
In fact, many of the current students at Hogwarts are like him. They were injured because the protective magic of the Goblet of Fire bounced off after going to vote. There is really nothing surprising... Ron's two twin brothers, George and Fred, were even worse. They each used a drop of age-increasing potion to deceive the Goblet of Fire, but now they still have goat's white beards on their faces. Even Pomfrey Ladies have no choice but to wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off on their own. They don’t know how long they will be laughed at, let alone when they will be able to get rid of their beards!
'Why……'
"Ron, you really dare to think and do..."
When she heard that the other party actually hurt her face because of illegal registration, Hermione sighed and shook her head.
You know, she and Harry knew very well what their friend Ron was capable of. Now even Hermione herself didn't dare to sign up, and Harry was even more the same. But what about Ron? Dare you do that?
That's really messy...
'Hi! '
'Hi! Harry and Hermione, how are you? '
'Um? Ron, what's wrong with your face? '
At this time, the twin sisters Parvati Patil and Padma Patil came over talking and laughing together. They first said hello to Harry and Hermione, and then looked at them with curious eyes. Ron, who was being secretive, looked over and asked strangely.
Because they saw that the other party was covering up, as if his face was injured?
'No...it's not...'
"I...I accidentally fell. The road was slippery, so...wait, what are you going to do?!"
Ron was vague for a moment, then quickly changed the subject and asked.
"Why do you all..."
Because he discovered that now, whether it was Harry or Hermione, or the two sisters Padma Patil and Parvati Patil who had just arrived, they and more students seemed to be heading this way. Come and hold notebooks in your hands?
This kind of thing makes Ron feel very strange...
Because he knew that lunch time had just passed and it should be free time for lunch break, and he also chose to sneak here when there were few people here and planned to sign up for the top three in the Goblet of Fire. Hegemony competition... But now, why are so many people hurriedly walking towards this side?
Could it be that they, like Ron, wanted to sign up?
If that's the case, he can tell them responsibly: The age line and protective magic set up by Dumbledore are very effective. If they dare to get close, their names will definitely pop up before they throw them into the Goblet of Fire. of!
Moreover, even if it was thrown in from a distance, it would be useless, because the Goblet of Fire would spit out the parchment with the name on it again. He had just tried many methods that he could think of, and the final result was nothing. it's the same.
'Of course we're going to take a seat! '
'ah! ! '
'Parvati, please stop talking. We have to hurry up. If we go late, the good seats will be taken up by others...'
'Sorry, we went ahead! '
After saying that, the expressions of the two twin sisters changed. After thinking of something, they hurriedly apologized to the three of them, then hurriedly left hand in hand and continued to trot forward.
"..."
"What position does it occupy?"
Ron was still puzzled because today was Halloween and there were no classes in the afternoon, so he didn't know which seats those two people were going to occupy. Besides, even if you have to go to class, there will definitely be no shortage of seats. At most, it’s just that you arrive late and the remaining seats are not very good?
For example, if the seat is too far forward, it will be easy for professors to spot and call on you when you make small movements or get distracted?
"Oops!"
"Hurry up! Harry, and Ron, let's go quickly too!!"
Finally, after seeing the twin sisters leaving in a hurry, Hermione was frightened and exclaimed on the spot. Then she quickly stopped talking and said hello to Harry and Ron before walking forward. People ran quickly.
"Hello!"
"What's wrong with you?!"
There was nothing he could do. Seeing Harry and Hermione acting like that, Ron, who was confused, could only follow him curiously, planning to go to Madam Pomfrey later to help him look at the wounds on his face. .
“Of course it’s Professor Anne’s open class!!”
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, so we have to go early to grab a good seat. If we go late, we might have to stand in the aisle..."
"You should be impressed, Ron, how popular Professor Anne's open classes are!"
After saying that, Harry stopped explaining any more and left the slow-moving Ron behind. He walked quickly forward alone and chased Hermione who had already turned the corner.
Because Harry also saw that at least several students had just walked towards the large classroom at the front. If they were late again, they might not be able to get a good seat.
"ah?"
"That Professor Anne, did she really start the class again? When did it happen, why didn't I know anything about it?!"
After exclaiming, Ron hurriedly ran forward, and at the same time, he also expressed some doubts in his heart, why did he not know anything about such an important matter? When had he been excluded from the mainstream information about Hogwarts again? !
"just now!"
"While we were eating, Professor Anne suddenly used magic to write that notice at the entrance of the cafeteria! I guess not many people know about it now?"
"So Ron, we have to hurry!!"
Harry explained without looking back as he chased forward.
Hermione was right what she just said, they have to hurry up, otherwise it will be too late by the time more students come to their senses! Moreover, this time, there is no guarantee that a principal with two butts will reserve a seat for him. He can't pin all his hopes on others!
And then again, this is just to occupy a place, and you can leave first after occupying it, and it doesn't cost much. There is no need to trouble the professor he respects, Professor Dumbledore, for such a small matter.
"Hello!"
"Harry, wait for me first..."
Just as Ron was about to run over, he had to quickly pull up his school uniform robe to cover his face.
Because what he saw was that one of the guys he hated the most, the Slytherin dark wizard Malfoy and Goyle, were walking leisurely from the opposite side. It seemed that they had already Occupied the position?
'! ! '
'Well? '
'Aha! Goyle, look, what happened to that Weasley guy, that Ron? '
'Hey! ! '
'Look, tsk tsk, look at his face. He didn't get thrown when he signed up for the Goblet of Fire, right? '
Draco Malfoy knew that just ahead of this road was the foyer of the Great Hall where the Goblet of Fire was placed, and at this time, his arch-rival Ron happened to be here with fresh scars on his face. What was not explained was why the other party was there. Injury is not too difficult to predict.
'Definitely is! I have fallen over a lot of people today! '
'ha! A fool like him wants to be a Hogwarts warrior. Is today April Fool's Day? '
'He's so stupid...'
'Hahaha……'
The Slytherins, who guessed the reason for Ron's embarrassment in just a few words, began to stand in the corridor, blocking Ron who was unable to advance or retreat, and laughed unscrupulously.
It's a pity that there aren't too many students here. The few that occasionally come by take a quick look at them and then rush forward without stopping to watch, which makes their behavior of mocking their opponents boring. few.
"Get out of my way!!"
Ron, who didn't want to stay here any longer, felt annoyed, covered his head, roared angrily, and then rushed past the people coming from the opposite side arrogantly, and it was his turn. After Harry stopped in front and looked at him worriedly, he quickly ran towards the big classroom.
As for the unbridled jeers from behind, what else could he do except curse a few words in his mind? Anyway, he is already somewhat used to it. As long as he quickly goes to Madam Pomfrey later and destroys the evidence on his face, as for the rest, just forget about it!
After all, Ron was not the only one who was injured by the Goblet of Fire today and last night. He was not afraid of being laughed at by those courageous little snakes! Besides, it wasn't the first time he was laughed at, so what could they do to him?
——————————
Hidden in the heart of London, Diagon Alley, the wizarding market in the British wizarding world, is still as busy as usual...
Because today is Halloween, wizards in different costumes are walking through this not-too-long street with all kinds of strange magic artifacts and magical animals, buying the holiday items they need. However, compared with the bustling scene when Diagon Alley is busiest, that is, in the days before Hogwarts students start school, when they need to do a lot of shopping, it still seems a little bit behind?
At this time, in Knockturn Alley adjacent to Diagon Alley, the people looked lifeless...
However, if you think that there is no business to be done in Knockturn Alley because it is sparsely populated, then you are totally wrong!
You know, Knockturn Alley is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. It is a black market in the British wizarding world. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Because the business being operated by any inconspicuous shop here is likely to be the combined turnover of the regular shops in Diagon Alley outside for several months, or even more?
At this time, in a small shop in Knockturn Alley with a "temporary suspension" tag, a bright old shopkeeper was quietly talking to a wizard who opened the door secretly and entered, his whole body shrouded in black robes. Conversing.
'What's wrong? '
'Why did you come to me today? What happened? '
The old man first looked at the outside of the shop warily, then took out his wand and tapped the doors and windows lightly, causing a layer of black mud-like stuff to slowly flow down from the eaves. When they completely sealed the doors and windows and emitted a burst of After a burst of misty black mist, he turned around and took the lead in asking the middle-aged wizard who had just taken off his hood.
'boss! The situation is not good, we seem to be being targeted by Aurors! '
As soon as he opened his mouth, what the visiting middle-aged wizard said startled the old man who had just taken precautions to keep it secret.
'Are you being targeted by some Auror somewhere? '
'Is it the North American side, the European side, or the Ministry of Magic here in the UK? ! '
Maybe the business touched too many places, so the old man was stunned for a moment and couldn't come back to his senses.
'All of them! ! '
'The Magical Congress of the United States of America and the French Ministry of Magic have informed Barty Crouch and asked his director of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Department to convey it to the Auror Office. Now cooperation has been reached! '
'boss! '
'They are in big trouble this time. If they stop now, it might be too late? '
Obviously, the middle-aged wizard looked a little irritable, but he had to patiently advise the old wizard.
'...'
'How did you know? '
The old man felt a little strange, because he didn't hear any news... Moreover, the cargo at sea was still safe, and no signal of being intercepted was received.
'Today someone from the Ministry of Magic sent me a message, saying that the United States asked them to cooperate with the investigation? And they said yes! '
'You know the character of Rufus Scrimgeour. Although they asked for strict confidentiality and took action, they would not have thought that my friend was an Auror and had already sent the information in advance and all Tell me...'
'boss? '
'How about we give up those goods temporarily and let them evacuate quickly? '
At this point, after the matter was almost explained, in this small shop shrouded in black mist, the middle-aged wizard once again began to persuade the old wizard.
'...'
'It seems like it's really a big move. If you hadn't come, I probably wouldn't have received any news at all...'
The old wizard did not rush to respond to his subordinate. Instead, he chuckled and sighed with some emotion.
'boss? ! '
The middle-aged wizard asked again. It was obvious that he seemed a little impatient!
After all, if anyone knew that Aurors from several countries had united and targeted the cargo at sea, and were ready to follow the clues to find out who they were, he would definitely not be able to calm down! No matter what, they were all just for gold Galleons, and they had a family with them. They were not desperadoes like Death Eaters. How could they openly talk to the Ministry of Magic, or even several times? The Ministry of Magic of each country is fighting?
Therefore, the best way now is to quickly stop the loss and get out of the matter, cut off all the clues, and temporarily stop for a while. The matter will end with the smuggling ship!
'...'
'I'm afraid not! '
'That's a huge long-term order. You know, that money alone is enough for us to spend hundreds of years. Can you live for another hundred years? '
'Hmph...'
'What's more, that's the order placed by that person, so what are we afraid of? '
Although this dark wizard didn't know the proverb "When the sky falls, the taller one will hold it up", he still knew the meaning, that is: someone will clean up the mess for them, and when the time comes, they just have to Deliver the goods and just hug the big guy’s lap!
Of course, they could also take the money and deliver the goods, then run away and leave the buyer to the Ministry of Magic?
But, that was the last choice. He would definitely not do it unless he had to. After all, it was a long-term and huge order. No one would be able to deal with Jin Gallon, and it had just begun. , he doesn’t want to cut off his own financial path.
'this……'
'Then what do you mean...'
Obviously, the old wizard's words moved the middle-aged wizard, and he had been convinced and shaken by the other party.
'Hmph! '
'Let's just pretend we don't know for now and wait until the goods are shipped ashore! '
'Since they chose to cooperate and did not intercept our goods on the spot, it proves that we still have several days to think about a good solution...'
Obviously, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic must only be eyeing that ship now, so they still have a chance. As long as they operate well, they can make money and protect themselves. By then, wouldn't it be like being hunted down by hundreds of Aurors?
He believed that the big man would definitely not give up the goods and would definitely help them! So now, all they have to do is protect themselves and continue to hide their identities.
However, I am afraid that the line on the North American side will no longer be used in the future. This move is indeed a bit too big, which is inevitable... But this kind of thing is not urgent for the time being, and everything can wait for the storm to pass. Go and sort it out again.
'yes……'
'Then I'll go back first? '
The middle-aged wizard saw that the other party had made up his mind. After thinking about it, he could only grit his teeth and nodded, and was about to stand up and leave.
'etc! '
'Here are two hundred gold galleons, give them to your friend in the Ministry of Magic first! Tell him to keep the information flowing, and when things are done, he will benefit from it! '
'This is another two hundred gold galleons, which will be used as funds for your activities for the time being. '
Suddenly, the old wizard called out to the other party, then reached into his counter and felt around a few times. After a long time, he took out two big bags and threw them directly to the other party.
'clear! What else do you have to say? '
The middle-aged wizard put on his hood, hid himself in the darkness, and put away the two bags before finally asking.
'No more, go back! '
The old wizard waved his hand, not wanting to say more, and at the same time stretched out his wand. After the tip of the wand sprayed out a small bolt of lightning and hit the thing that was exuding black mist like black mud, they automatically and slowly shrank to Above the eaves?
'Then I'll leave first...'
The middle-aged wizard did not dare to stay longer. He just pushed the crowd and walked out of the small shop in Knockturn Alley, letting the small 'temporary' sign behind him rattle on the dilapidated door handle. Swinging.
'Hum hum……'
After sending that guy away, the old wizard snorted a few times, then slowly stood up, walked to the door, and took off the small sign.
After all, business still needs to be done. No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s just a piece of meat, isn’t it?
As for what just happened...
But he didn't care too much, because he believed that before long, the Ministry of Magic would be distracted by other more important things! By then, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will probably have no intention of taking care of these 'small-time' smugglers.
After all, their harm is very low. Compared with some evil "dark wizards", at least they have not harmed the peace of the wizarding world and the authority of the Ministry of Magic, right?
——————————
Ding ding dong~! ?
On the afternoon of Halloween, as Filch rang the bell, the second open magic class taught by a little girl from Hogwarts finally started again!
As the class bell rang, professors such as Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and Flitwick, who had finally arrived belatedly, had to find out awkwardly that this time, this large classroom did not seem to be enough, because , the students have already filled all the seats, and even the aisles are full of people. No one has thought about preparing a few front seats for them, as professors?
'...'
'...'
Seeing this situation, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and other professors looked at each other helplessly and walked directly to the other side of the podium. Are they going to stand and listen to a lecture like that?
Although they thought about using magic spells to conjure chairs, the chairs still took up too much space as the classroom was crowded with people and the space was extremely limited, so it was better to just stand.
"……."
However, Principal Dumbledore did not intend to suspend classes like Snape and others.
So, his pair of deep and shining presbyopic eyes looked around and found that there was indeed no empty seat, so he had to glance at the students in the front row and quickly locked on the front row. In the middle, sitting next to Harry and Hermione, was the Weasley child.
That seat is so good. If the old man, Principal Dumbledore, is not allowed to sit, I am afraid everyone will have a bad conscience, right?
Therefore, under the astonished gazes of Snape and other professors standing opposite, he walked directly towards the Weasley boy.
"Ahem!"
"Classmate Ron..."
"Excuse me, can you make room for me, an old man? I think you know that I am very old, and my legs and feet are not very flexible. I am not able to stand for as long as you young people..."
This is something that can't be helped, because no one expected that this time, no one would reserve a seat for the professors... Therefore, if you don't want to stand aside like Snape and others for a whole class, Apart from thinking about these students, what else could he do?
You know, he is not only the head of the school, but also an old man over a hundred years old. Can the Weasley children still bear to watch and dare not to give up their position to him? Furthermore, who allowed the other party to occupy such a good position, in the front row and in the middle? !
"ah?"
"this……"
I never expected that I would be sitting peacefully, but now I would be made such an unreasonable request by Mr. Dumbledore, the principal in front of me? You know, this time, he managed to get the position with great difficulty!
"..."
"Okay, okay...Professor Dumbledore, would you please sit down?"
I had no choice but to look around. It seemed that there really was no other place. At this time, almost all the students were looking at me, and Dumbledore specifically called his name. With no choice, Ron I had no choice but to stand up pretending to be generous and a little aggrieved, and gave way to the other party.
Then, with a grimace on his face and not knowing whether to cry or laugh, he walked up to Professor Snape who was staring at him with a dark face.
The other party was the principal, Dumbledore, and he also named himself. What else could he do? If he dares not to give up his seat to Principal Dumbledore, he will definitely receive several shouting letters from his mother Molly tomorrow, right?
That kind of thing must happen! !
He could even imagine the content of his mother's yelling letter, such as: 'Ron, you disappoint me so much. How dare you not give up your seat to the Headmaster? You are the scum and moral scum of the Weasley family. The lost, the scum...' and so on?
"Thank you so much!"
Anyway, he was already very old and did not have many years to live, so Dumbledore felt that there was no use in keeping his face. Therefore, after smiling and nodding towards Ron who consciously stood aside, Dumbledore said thank you. , he completely ignored whether the students would have any opinions, or the sarcastic look cast by a certain Snape, and directly and openly sat down in the front row where Ron had been sitting just now and was still warm. The best position in the middle.
"Hello, Miss Granger, and Harry, nice to meet you?"
After sitting down, Dumbledore felt that the position was very comfortable, and then he lowered his head, nodded and smiled at Harry and Hermione, who were sitting side by side on his left.
Sure enough, there is nothing more comfortable than being able to sit comfortably and listen to other people's lectures... You know, after being a professor and principal for so many years, Dumbledore didn't have many opportunities to sit in the classroom. Listen to other people's lessons.
'Hello, Professor Dumbledore! '
'Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore...'
Glancing at the poor Ron in the distance, Harry and Hermione looked at each other and gave each other a helpless look before turning their heads and looking helplessly towards an old and disrespectful person. The guy reluctantly said hello.
To be honest, they really felt that Ron was quite unlucky today. First he failed to register, and then he was laughed at by Malfoy and the others for a long time. Now he finally got a good seat in the front row, but in the end he was beaten by Dumbledore. Did the principal ask for it?
This is really...
What else could the two of them say? !
Uh-huh! !
Suddenly, what surprised everyone was: with a flash of blue magic light, a certain professor who everyone thought would be late actually used it on time not long after the bell rang. Magic similar to Apparition has arrived in the classroom?
"Hi~!"
()
"Good afternoon everyone~!"
(????-)?
Yes, Anne arrived on time and was about to give her second open magic class at Hogwarts. As for why she was so punctual today, it was not clear to outsiders.
?乛?乛?
"Class begins now. Here today, I am going to directly explain to you a very magical magic. Its name is -"
(*^▽^*)
"barrier!!"
(^_?)☆
After saying that, she went directly to the topic. Little Annie, who was not verbose at all, stretched out her little finger and tapped it lightly in the air of the large classroom. Rows of words composed of flames or or appeared on it, and ensured that all They are clearly visible to teachers and students.
?barrier?
?Put a shield on your body, absorbing 115-455 (depending on the caster's personal ability) points of true damage, lasting 2 seconds. ?
?Damage calculation point formula...?
"..."
(灬oωo灬)
"Okay, Hermione, do you have any questions?"
Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?
Little Annie, who was just about to explain, saw Hermione's hand raised high, and reluctantly clicked the other person's name to see what questions the other person had.
"Professor Anne!"
"Excuse me, what is true injury?"
Hermione doesn't want to study the complicated damage point calculation formula, which seems to be related to a person's magic level, age, spell-casting skills and other data. She just wants to know, what is the real damage?
"Well……"
(ー`′ー)
"Real damage is the kind of damage that ignores and passes through armor and magic resistance, and will definitely cause damage to yourself!"
"Anyway!"
"As long as it is a spell that can harm you, no matter what spell it is, whether it is a spell energy attack or a physical entity attack, this shield can resist them all, until the strength of the shield is lower than the opponent's attack strength and is broken by the opponent. until!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
In short, this is what the spell looks like. As for more, Anne doesn't want to explain more to them. Because her task today is to teach them the 'barrier'. As for the other things, what does it have to do with her?
"Professor, does this also include the Unforgivable Curse?"
Hermione, who didn't sit down, directly asked a second question. Anyway, she had a good relationship with the other party, so it would be good to ask more questions while the other party was giving lectures. However, in private, it would not be easy to meet the other party who was in a good mood and willing to do so. That's a good time to explain it to her.
"Cruciaton and Avada Kedavra are definitely possible, but I'm afraid they won't be very effective against the Imperius Curse?"
(?￣?￣?) Huh?
As soon as Anne finished speaking, she discovered that the students and professors under the podium started whispering to each other, and the whole class suddenly became chaotic. It seemed that they didn't completely believe what she said?
"All right……"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"If that's the case, then I'll give everyone a direct experiment!!"
(lll￢ω￢)
barrier!
After saying that, with no choice but to see any obvious movement from Annie, a golden shield quietly appeared on her body. It was like a golden bubble or ball, binding her. It's tightly wrapped inside.
Because Anne still has something very important to do, or is currently doing? Therefore, she has no time to explain so much with these guys, and it is better to show them in a more direct way.
"Now, I'm ready, who wants to try to see the attack on me?"
ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
"No matter what the curse is, even if it is unforgivable, it is okay! However, it is temporarily limited to the curse of damage. Do n’t use those who control the class, otherwise, I will be beaten back by me! "
(
In fact, Xiao Anni is not too good at lectures and does not want to give too many lessons. !
'...'
'...'
However, the students in this big classroom just look at me and I see you, and no one dares to stand up directly, even if it is usually the most positive Hermione in the classroom, it is no exception.
"hehe……"
At this time, an unscrupulous principal did not mean to move at this time, but just watched the performance of Professor Annie with a smile.
After all, he is Dumbledore, the winner of the first -level Merlin Medal, the chairman of the International Magician Federation, the chief magician of Willson and Gamos, and has been nominated by the Minister of Magic many times. It is currently the most powerful existence in the British magic industry and even the top and most powerful in the world. Therefore, if he is on the court, in case he can't even wear it, his old face will not be able to put it.
"No one came up?"
∑(′△｀)? !
"Please rest assured, my" barrier "shield is very strong. If anyone can break it, there is a reward!"
"Do you think, how about a thousand Jin Galon?"
(?`▽′?)?
Although Annie knew that no one could break it, she still seduced to those who hesitant.
Uh-huh! !
After speaking, countless students raised their hands almost at the same time. After all, it didn't matter if you tried it. What if you accidentally penetrate it?
"Go away!"
"let me!!"
However, a cold drink directly interrupted the fantasies of all students.
Because, at this time, Professor Snape of the potion class had squeezed Ron, who was eager to try, and then took a few steps on his face and walked directly to the podium of the big classroom. The professor was a few steps away.
"Professor Annie, are you sure, what magic is?"
Professor Snape did not rush to attack, nor did he take out his own wand, but just held his wrist in front of his belly, staring at the little girl and the shield on the other side with a cold look.
Snape felt that he was not more suitable for testing that shield, because here, except Dumbledore, his magic is the strongest! The principal's understanding will definitely not play, so there is no more appropriate than him.
"Yes,"
o (*ˉ︶ˉ*) o
"..."
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!!"
After getting the opponent's affirmative answer, Snape pulled out his wand between the fire light and the casting and completed the cast.
The whole process was completed in less than a second in less than a second. When the students heard a weak "噗" abnormal noise, they responded. It turned out that Professor Snape had attacked once?
'...'
'Hello! Did he just use magic? '
'I have no idea……'
'I heard the figure, it seems that I really didn't break that shield? '
'should be……'
'But Professor Snape's movements are really fast. I didn't see how he made a stick. It was really amazing! ! '
'What is that curse? Shen Feng has no shadow? Is there any spell? '
'Have not heard…….'
Soon, after Professor Snape completed his first attack, no matter whether the students knew what happened, they exclaimed and talked about it.
"Cough! Classmates!"
"Please be quiet, please pay attention, pay attention, remember, this is very helpful for your black magic defense !!"
At this time, Dumbledore drank more, and finally stopped the kind of noise.
Then, he signaled his eyes towards Snape to let the other party use a more intuitive magic, not the kind of self -creation of the other party ... You know, students' knowledge is limited, some things should take care of them slightly, let's take them a little bit. After all, this is the classroom, not a horned field.
"..."
"The flames !!!"
After seeing Dumbledore's eyes, Snape quickly changed the spell that the students would also have, let a fire snake spray from his head, and hit the golden shield of Professor Anne. Passed by!
However……
Soon he found that the flame magic was completely invalid, and he could not break through that 'barrier' shield!
'To pieces! '
The crushing curse hit out, the red light hit the golden ball, and quickly dissipated in the invisible ...
'Swoon! '
Successfully resisted ...
'Tongtong Petrochemical! '
'Fire! ! '
"..."
After trying the offensive spells that students often came into contact with, Snape did not continue to try, but put away the wand and started thinking.
"Why don't you fight, continue?"
(,,? ▽?,)?
Annie said that the opponent's spells and aggressive magic are really too little and too few ... those who are back and forth are the same, and less fatal, so she wants the other party to continue to play a few more?
"Professor Annie, are you sure, can it really resist the mantra?"
Obviously, Snape intends to use unforgivable spells, but in order to avoid accidents, he still has to confirm or warn it?
"certainly!"
(o゜▽゜)o☆[BINGO!]
"..."
"Avada Kedavra!!!"
After silence, Snape shouted the terrible spell before the students had time to respond or exclaimed, and then a green light sprayed out of his rod head and hit the golden color directly into the golden light. The shield and the little girl in that shield!
Then, the dazzling green light directly illuminated the entire classroom, so that many students subconsciously tested their heads and closed their eyes ...
puff! !
However, soon, with the disappearance of the green light, the teachers and students present found that the terrible dead curse of Professor Snape just made an abnormal noise and strong light, and it seemed that nothing happened. ? Now, Professor Annie still stood in the shield that looked extremely tough.
'Merlin's beard, can't forgive the spell really blocked by her? ! '
'How can this be? ! '
'...'
'Professor Snape really used Avada to die? ! '
'certainly! '
'That's right, it's not to say, the Avadaso mantra cannot be resisted, can you only avoid it? ! '
'who knows? Don't ask me! ! '
Soon, the students exclaimed again, and this classroom, which was originally filled with people, became like a downtown. The Snape, who launched the attack, didn't say anything after he hesitated for a while, and turned directly to his original position.
"..."
However,
At this time, the Dumbledore who was sitting in the front row did not drink again. He just frowned, holding his old flower mirror, and his eyes flashed with fine light. It seemed to be studying some basic structure of the shield?
"Professor Anne..."
"So, this shield, the spell and the method of exhibiting the" barrier ", do you know?"
Finally, Dumbledore looked at it for a while, and did not understand everything, but he just knew that he had a hint of sacred power and hesitated to ask the most critical place.
Because he knew that the barrier 'is also the other party, as long as he or his students learned, they can become them. This is very important!
"Of course you know!"
(′⊙?⊙`)
"Otherwise, what are I doing now?"
?(?ˉ?~ˉ?)╭?
Speaking of Annie, as soon as she stretched her fingers, the "barrier" spell, the spell and 3D holographic gesture compiled by the wizards of this world based on the cash habits of this world appeared directly on the blackboard and automatically demonstrated:
? Magic barrier, spell :? ναεμm? Διο! ?
Basic technique: Turn the wand to quickly turn three times clockwise at a radius of less than one feet in a second, and then quickly raise the wand to the top of the head while reading the spell. ?
"Remember!"
(^_?)☆
"Although the barrier can resist Avadaso's life, people do not recommend you to try it easily, because ah, the strength of the barrier is limited, especially if you are not magical, once you are broken by a powerful guy, you will be broken, and you will be broken. Then you are miserable ... "
ヽ(??▽?)ノ
After reaching out on the blackboard behind him and knocking on the key point, Xiao Annie canceled the barrier shield that would never be broken by any wizard, and then directly pressed the podium close to the blackboard. Give it down.
"very good……"
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, and took out a small book on the spot, and wrote the experience he had just seen, observed and the other party wrote.
'! ! '
"oh!"
"Miss Grandie, you are really cunning ..."
Soon, Dumbledore discovered that Hermione Granger around him, at this time, stretched his neck and looked at the book in his hand. Copy the past?
"ha!"
"Thank you for your praise, Dear Principal!"
Hermione closed her notebook at all. Anyway, she said that she has been copied now.
And she suddenly felt that next time, when Annie started again, she was very needed to take the position of Mr. Dumbledore, the loved and student, who was well -loved by the Hogwarts School, and must be by her side, and must be by her side. ?
"Today's lesson will only teach this spell for the time being. You can try it now. Anyway, it is not an aggressive spell. You can use it casually. No matter you! "
(*?′╰╯`?)?
Now, the content of the course is finished and performed. Now, it is time to practice the students themselves.
As long as those students will practice more, and then say a few words when they have time. Even if this public class has passed, it will save some people who always feel that Professor Annie is delicious in school, but the salary is completely exactly the entire salary. Don't work?
