After Halloween, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had two consecutive days of carnivals and various events. Not only did the teachers and students consume too much energy, but it also temporarily caused the little girl who had eaten too much of a big meal or some delicious food to temporarily Calmed down.
She had been working hard for two days, and after taking an open class, she became lazy again...
Isn’t this?
When Dumbledore searched hard to find a certain little girl professor, she was at the edge of the black lake in Hogwarts, just lazily leaning against it under the shade of a big tree by the lake. Lying on the lawn with the trunk of the tree basking in the afternoon sunlight slanting down from the leaves!
"Hello, Annie!"
"I finally found you..."
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. After first looking at the other person's appearance, he took a few steps forward and stood next to the other person. Following the other person's line of sight, they looked at the sparkling person in the distance. lake surface.
The weather is very good today, sunny, cloudless and gentle breeze...
But it is a pity that Dumbledore has not been able to leisurely bask in the sun and look at the scenery like this little girl for a long time recently... After all, there are too many things that have bothered him recently, even if he wanted to Like Professor Anne, taking a nap by the lakeside after lunch, drinking a glass of butterbeer, and eating a few toffee finger cakes are also unattainable luxuries.
"Hi~!"
o(>▽<)o
"Good morning, old man Dumbledore..."
ヾ(????`o)+
Anne greeted the other party in a friendly manner, and then quickly turned her head away.
Not long after she got up, she stewed a big pot of delicious meat in her new crucible, and ate it until her belly was round. So now she urgently needed to lie here to eat, and didn't want to do anything. .
"ah……"
Good morning?
Dumbledore subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky...
It was very dazzling. Even through the thick leaves, the sunlight slanting down from the gaps between the branches and leaves almost made his presbyopic eyes almost blind... It was obvious that it was already afternoon, at least. It's fourteen o'clock, so why is it early?
However, Dumbledore quickly came to his senses and did not intend to dwell too much on this.
Because he had heard about a certain little girl's bad schedule. Now that the other person said this, he must have just gotten up, right? It’s no wonder, no wonder that when the teachers and students were having lunch, he couldn’t find each other no matter how hard he looked...
"Annie..."
"What are you doing now? Are you resting or basking in the sun?"
Before explaining his purpose, Dumbledore wanted to chat with the other party first, because the scenery here was very good and he hoped to stay here for a little longer.
"Not at all!"
(??▽??)
"I was thinking just now, should I catch those small fishes by the lake? But I just had breakfast again, and now my stomach is still very full, and I don't want to move at all, so I have been a little bit Hesitation..."
??（??`▽????)╭??
"..."
"Well?!"
Following the direction of the little girl's finger, it took Dumbledore a while to see clearly the groups of fish fry in the shallow water of the lake, which were about the size of a little finger...
"What do you do with those little fishes? They seem to be of no use, and they don't look good if you keep them, right?"
Dumbledore was a little confused about Professor Anne's thoughts, but after thinking about it, he soon felt relieved.
Because he knows that the other person is still just a little girl, and it is normal for her to have divergent thinking and some thoughts and logic that are different from those of a normal adult.
"Old Dumbledore, do you know?"
(???????????)
"People have caught small fish of about the same size before, and they caught a lot of them and kept them in buckets. Then one day, they suddenly had a whim, wondering what would happen if they kept small fish in milk? Maybe. Because the nutritional value of milk is very high, it will definitely make the little fish fat and white, so you don’t have to bother feeding them every day?”
(*^▽^*)
"Then..."
(??⊙??⊙`)
"They really did that, raised them all in a large glass jar of pure milk, and kindly injected oxygen into them..."
<(￣︶￣)↗Yeah!
Little Annie has always been an action person, especially when she is very curious. She always does whatever comes to mind, so she directly tells what she has done.
"Then what?"
"How are they doing?"
Dumbledore smiled and followed the other person's words and asked.
Because he knew that the little fish would definitely not be able to survive in milk. What they needed was the kind of water that was not very clean... Although he had not tested it himself, he could almost guess that the little fish would survive in the milk. Those poor little fishes that the girl played with like that were definitely not going to get better.
"Um……"
(≧︶≦*)
"It was fine at first, the little fishes were jumping around alive, but after a while, they became very uncomfortable and looked sickly, as if they were about to be milked to death..."
╮(╯▽╰)╭
“Then people were so kind and fished them out!!”
(灬??ω??灬)
"Then what? Are they alive?"
Dumbledore asked curiously. This was the first time he had heard of raising fish with milk, but he knew that it would definitely not be possible to feed. From this, he only hoped that those poor little animals could be taken care of by this random kid. Save the girl?
"No……"
(lll￢ω￢)
"Why?"
Although he was somewhat prepared in his mind, when he heard that the little girl failed to save the little fish, Dumbledore still smiled and continued to ask.
"because……"
(????ω????)
"While they were still alive, they quickly wrapped them in bread crumbs and fried them in olive oil until both sides were golden... Don't tell me, old man Dumbledore, their milk-fried fish is delicious!!"
(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~
Thinking of the correct way to eat the small fish that she accidentally discovered back then, Annie's saliva couldn't help but drip down... However, unfortunately, she had just eaten now, and it was really a little bit unnecessary. Nothing can be stuffed in, so I can only temporarily put out the idea of catching those small fish in the lake, and plan to catch them another day?
"..."
Dumbledore's cheeks twitched...
Now he doesn't know what to say at all... Maybe he, the old man, is really old and can no longer keep up with the ideas of these young people?
"correct!"
"Annie, I would like to congratulate you first: because the 'barrier' spell you taught yesterday has proven to be effective in resisting the Unforgivable Curse, especially the protective spell of 'Avada Kedavra', the Ministry of Magic is preparing Make it official and recognize your achievements as appropriate…”
"I think you will soon be a Hogwarts professor with the Order of Merlin!!"
Dumbledore, who didn't intend to get too entangled with the other party on such brain-teasers, after sighing in a dumbfounded way for a while, hurriedly talked about one of the important things why he came to find the other party.
Now, with the publication of the New Day's Daily Prophet and the magical images and photos of a certain little girl in class being moved to the front page of the newspaper, all the wizards in the British wizarding world are about to explode. .
Because this is the only protective spell that has been proven to be real and effective so far and can resist the Unforgivable Curse!
Dumbledore still doesn't know how far this matter will evolve in the future, but judging from the information he knows, at the latest a year or six months, the little girl in front of him will definitely become the youngest person in British history. The only recipient of the Order of Merlin!
"oh……"
o(??^｀)o
Little Annie just responded lightly, indicating that she knew and turned her head away.
Obviously, she didn't care too much about those things, because, the reason why she taught the 'barrier' spell was just for some ulterior motives. As for what consequences it would lead to Or she won't care about unexpected benefits and honors!
Because of medals and other rags, why not cook her some delicious meals or give her some rare and edible magical animals?
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"..."
Unexpectedly, in the face of such good news, this little girl still didn't care at all. This made Dumbledore touch his nose in embarrassment, and for a moment he was not sure what was going on in the other person's little head. What are you thinking about?
"..."
(ー`??ー)
"Old Dumbledore, do you have anything else to do?"
Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?
Little Annie continued to lie comfortably on the ground and was about to think about what to eat tonight. When she saw that a strange old man was still standing beside her and still had no intention of leaving, she couldn't help but open her eyes again in confusion. And looked at the other party's old face.
"Well……"
"It's like this. Although the Triwizard Tournament has been concluded now, I'm still a little worried about Hermione..."
Last night, after the Halloween party, after emergency consultations between Dumbledore, Madam Maxime, Principal Karkaroff and Mr. Crouch of the Ministry of Magic, they finally had to compromise under the effect of the ancient contract magic of the Goblet of Fire. , decided to turn the 'Triwizard Tournament' into the 'Four-wizard Tournament' and continue that great event!
Therefore, from today on, no matter who has the opinion or disagrees, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter, who are only fourteen years old in their fourth year, will become the champions of Hogwarts and participate in the Triwizard Tournament. It’s already a done deal! However, Dumbledore was still a little worried about which of his two students, so he planned to have a good discussion with the little girl in front of him who participated in the question-writing process regarding certain details?
"What's up with her?"
(,??▽??,)?
"I'm worried that her abilities and experience may be lacking, that she may not be able to handle it... You know, is she still a little too young compared to other players?"
To be honest, if Harry's selection was expected by Dumbledore, then the selection of the little girl Hermione Granger was really beyond his expectation... So, there are some things , he must make it clear to the instigator in front of him now.
"oh!"
(*￣△￣*)
"But, old man Dumbledore, do you think it's better for you to worry about Harry Potter? Because, his ability is the worst. If there is going to be a problem then, he will definitely be The one who died the worst?!"
(￢д￢.)
"this……"
have to!
When the other party said this, Dumbledore didn't know how to discuss with the other party the things that he had planned to do next that were not suitable for public speaking.
"..."
(??????????)
"Hey! Dumbledore, what happened to Potter was probably your intention, right?"
(???????????????)
"??"
"Why do you ask that?"
Dumbledore suddenly felt a little surprised, because he had always been very secretive about Harry's selection, and he had not participated at all. So, how did the little guy in front of him notice it?
"That Professor Moody..."
??乛??乛??
"!!"
"Haha, Annie, the weather is so nice today, and the location you chose is really good..."
Dumbledore, who didn't intend to reveal certain things, began to talk about him. It seemed that he wasn't ready to say more about Moody?
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"By the way! Old Dumbledore, why did Hagrid's big horses suddenly disappear today?"
o(??ω??)o
Although, this kind of words sounded a bit like a weasel going to pay New Year greetings to a chicken... However, little Annie still pretended to be curious and asked this question.
"What big horse?"
Dumbledore, who was completely unable to grasp a certain little girl's out-of-the-box thinking, was completely unable to react for a moment.
"Oh! You mean those Pegasus from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
"Unfortunately……"
"You may not know that Madam Maxime disliked Hagrid and our Hogwarts for not being able to take care of them, so she asked the groom to take them back early. She may not come to pick them up again until after the Triwizard Tournament. Did she leave with her students?"
At this point, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.
Because, so far, he has not been able to find the missing magical animal or any clues related to it! Maybe, only his old friend Newt is the expert in the research and tracking of magical animals, right?
However, he had no idea of asking that old friend to come forward for help, because it was just a small matter. If a Pegasus was lost, it would be lost. Besides, Hogwarts had already compensated for this, so then The matter just passed, and there was no need to delve into it further.
"oh……"
(??????????)ha!
"That's it. People were wondering just now why they didn't see Hagrid letting those beautiful horses fly..."
ε=(??ο｀*)))Alas
What a pity……
Are those people so nervous? And they were really cunning. They just lost a Pegasus, but they were so frightened that they quickly took it back and hid it, even if she wanted to take another look?
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"cough……"
"Annie..."
Dumbledore, who was accidentally distracted by the other party, thought for a moment and simply sat down on the grass next to the other party. He planned to stay a little longer and discuss some things with the other party no matter what.
——————
At the Ministry of Magic in London, in the Auror office of Rufus Scrimgeour, who has a tough style and has always recommended taking extreme measures against dark wizards and Death Eaters, Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States of America from across the ocean came here and We are discussing some matters with the leaders of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic.
'Everyone! '
'Now things are almost clear. This is indeed a smuggling case of a vile nature and a criminal industry chain belonging to dark wizards. Therefore, we must destroy them! '
'Tomorrow, their cargo will arrive at the port of London...'
'Unfortunately, we couldn't find out who their upline is because they are very cautious and use owls to communicate...'
'Even if we do a legal interception of owls, we only know that they will be trading in one place...'
An Auror from the Ministry of Magic took a document and made a report to the officials present and the Aurors from North America on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and soon basically explained the outline of the clear intelligence.
'Trade where? '
'Hogsmeade! '
'...'
'That's the territory of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, how could they go there to trade? '
'Maybe it's because of the concealment? '
'snort! I guess so……'
'Tsk! '
'I want to ask, how will they transport those animals to Hogsmeade? '
'It should be a flying broomstick and a flying carriage pulled by Thestrals! '
'Are you sure? '
'Sure! Because our people found their transport at the dock! But unfortunately, they are very cunning, and we did not find more of them except the wizards who escorted the goods. '
'...'
'very good! '
'Keep an eye on them and don't act rashly. We can go to Hogwarts in advance to make arrangements. It just so happens that the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. The Ministry of Magic needs to send someone to be responsible for the safety of the warriors participating in the election. This is our opportunity! '
'This time, we must catch the buyer and those dark wizards! ! '
'yes! '
'Understood sir! ! '
'Who has anything to add? '
'I! '
'Your Mightiness! What we want to say is...'
Soon, under the constant discussions between the Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic and the Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States, a large net began to be opened against Hogsmeade, ready to capture at any time. The prey who are about to be caught in the 'dragnet' they weave.
