The next day is Saturday. Generally speaking, students go to have breakfast very late.
However, Schelling wasn't the only one who woke up much earlier than usual on weekends.
When he left the Slytherin lounge with Daphne and Astoria as usual and was about to enter the foyer, he saw more than twenty people gathered there, some of them still eating bread, and they were all looking carefully. Holding the Goblet of Fire, he saw the Harry trio there. Hermione also saw him, and they both nodded to each other.
The cup was placed in the center of the foyer, on the stool where the Sorting Hat usually rested. A thin circle of gold was drawn on the floor, with a radius of ten feet, surrounding the cup.
"Has anyone put their name in?" Ron asked a third-grade girl eagerly.
"Yes, the Durmstrang group," she answered, "but I haven't seen anyone sign up for Hogwarts yet."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came.
Xie Lin didn't need to look back to guess the identity of the person coming. Fred, George and Lee Jordan were seen hurrying down the stairs, all three of them looking extremely excited.
Fred whispered something lowly to Harry, and Sherlyn knew he was showing off the age-enhancing potion the three of them had drunk.
Fred took a piece of parchment from his pocket, walked right to the edge of the age line, and stood there, swaying on tiptoes like a diver preparing to jump from a fifty-foot platform. Then, with every eye in the foyer watching, he took a deep breath and crossed the line.
Then George jumped in too.
Then there was a hissing sound, and the twins were thrown out of the golden coil, as if an invisible shot putter had thrown them out. They fell painfully to the cold stone ground ten feet away, and they suffered humiliation beyond the physical pain. With a loud popping sound, identical long white beards sprouted from the chins of the two men.
The people in the foyer roared with laughter. Even Fred and George couldn't help laughing when they saw each other's white beards.
A flash of light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. Just before the twins were knocked away, he could clearly see the magic power fluctuations on the golden coil. This is a barrier!
As long as it is a barrier, it means it is dead - it can only screen out qualified people. Now the question is, what judgment does it use to screen?
To make the age-increasing agent ineffective, it is obvious that it does not rely solely on biological age, but does it rely on magic strength to judge?
"I warned you." A low, amused voice said, and everyone turned their heads to see Professor Dumbledore walking out of the auditorium.
He looked at Fred and George with a twinkle in his eye: "I suggest you both go to Madam Pomfrey's. She is already taking care of Miss Fawcett of Ravenclaw and Sasha of Hufflepuff. Mr. Meuse, they both are determined to make themselves a little older. But I must say, their beards are far less beautiful than yours."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he left, and Fred and George also left for the school hospital.
At this time, Draco, Pansy, Goyle, and Crabbe also arrived.
When Draco heard about the previous incident, he showed a contemptuous expression and sneered: "Trash is trash... This is probably the only way they can come up with..."
Ron heard his brother being laughed at and retorted unwillingly, "It sounds like you are so powerful. If you have the ability, why don't you sign up and give it a try?"
Draco's expression became even worse. His eyes swept across everyone present, and after staying on Sherrin for a few seconds, he looked at the Goblet of Fire again.
"Weasley, please stop embarrassing our pure-blood family." Draco said coldly, "It's just a barrier magic. It's not difficult to break it -"
"Oh, really?" Ron said with a provocative look, "Come on! Malfoy, can you show us all now? Let us see the Malfoy family's secret knowledge?"
Draco closed his eyes and Sherrin frowned.
Xie Lin saw the black magic aura rising from Draco's body again, and it was more violent than ever before!
Draco opened his eyes, and there was no emotion in his pupils. He walked up to the golden coil and stepped over it in one big step!
Almost everyone noticed it - there was a slight buzzing vibration in the air.
Schelling's magic eyes saw a scene that shocked him - the space was distorted. Schelling felt the magic trajectory that he was familiar with when using the time hourglass. It was a kind of time magic!
Dumbledore knows time magic!
In this way, the strength shown by this old man in the original work may not be all he has!
Xie Lin originally thought that the age group was selected based on the magic power of the body, which is why he was so confident - Xie Lin's magic power at this time has surpassed the level of adult wizards. No matter if it is any student from the three schools, in magic power It is impossible to compare with him in terms of total quantity.
Now it seems that the barrier is judged by the traces of time on the intruder.
Although Schelling has used the hourglass of time, he has never used it for more than four hours at a time, and he does not use it every day. The total time and years are probably not enough.
The scene returned to Draco.
Just when everyone thought Draco was about to be thrown out like the twins, the golden coil suddenly glowed with a dim golden light, and then dimmed again. Draco glanced at Ron sideways - Sherlin had the illusion that Draco was not looking at Ron, but himself - Ron's face turned red, but he hesitated and couldn't speak. Come.
Draco took a few more steps (the Goblet of Fire was actually far away from the golden coil, and it was impossible to throw it into it from a long distance), walked to the Goblet of Fire, took out a piece of parchment from his arms, and put it in. The flame in the cup quickly turned from blue-white to red, and sparks burst out.
Draco glanced at Sherrin and Ron again, then strode away gracefully, leaving behind the little wizards who looked in shock and awe.
The remaining little wizards all turned their attention to Xie Lin.
Draco, who has no outstanding achievements in the Malfoy family, is already so powerful, so isn't the famous Sherrin even more terrifying?
Sherrin smiled. He was not sure how Draco resisted the backlash of the barrier and forced his way in, but he had his own method.
Xie Lin took out a piece of parchment and touched it with his wand. The parchment suddenly turned into a paper sparrow, with its wings flashing rapidly.
The paper sparrow flew unimpeded across the age line and rushed into the Goblet of Fire.
With a bang, the blue-white flames in the Goblet of Fire soared high, but did not turn into red.
Sure enough, had Dumbledore also considered a plan to prevent little wizards from throwing in registration papers from a long distance?
Xie Lin's eyes faintly glowed with Kaunaz's ancient rune.
Since the flame refuses to change on its own, I will force it to change!
Xie Lin stared closely at the Goblet of Fire. The flames that rose into the sky seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force and slowly fell back into the cup. Suddenly, the Goblet of Fire seemed to have a spiritual power and launched a counterattack, and the flames exploded again. It jumped up with a roar, and scattered sparks. But not long after the commotion, the flames fell down again as if they were powerless, and finally turned into red, and sparks burst out.
Sherrin showed a bright smile, turned around, walked to Daphne and Astoria, and said softly: "Let's go!"
During breakfast, the most popular topic among the young wizards was who would become the champion of Hogwarts.
Most thought Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory had the best chance. Some people think it is Cassius Warrington of Slytherin. Gryffindor supported their house's Angelina Johnson.
These three are all 6th grade students. Maybe the 7th grade students are focused on the NEWT exam and are not willing to be distracted by these extracurricular activities.
The Halloween dinner seemed much longer than usual.
Perhaps because there were banquets for two consecutive days, many students did not seem to enjoy these elaborately prepared sumptuous dishes as much as usual.
People in the auditorium kept looking up, with anxious expressions on every face. Everyone was restless, standing up and looking towards the podium from time to time. Finally, the banquet ended, and the voices in the auditorium suddenly became much louder. Then Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again.
Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim on both sides of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else; Ludovic Bagman was smiling and winking at the students from various schools; and Mr. Crouch It was a dull expression.
"I am honored that the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision!" Dumbledore said with a smile. "I reckon it'll take another minute. Listen, when the Warriors' names are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the auditorium, past the staff table, and into the next room—"
He pointed to the door behind the staff desk, "That's where they'll get their initial instruction."
He waved his hand, and most of the lights in the entire auditorium were extinguished, falling into a state of semi-darkness. The Goblet of Fire, which had been moved to the rostrum, emitted a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium. The blue-white flames bursting with sparks were simply charming.
The flame in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out. Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of almost burnt parchment flew out from it. Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment, and the flames in the flames returned to blue-white at this time.
"The Warrior of Durmstrang—" Dumbledore's voice spread throughout the auditorium: "It's Eleanor von Hohenheim!"
A look of "Sure enough" flashed across Xie Lin's face, and then he smiled and said congratulations to Eleanor as a congratulation.
There was no sadness or joy on Eleanor's face. She stood up from the Slytherin table and walked towards Dumbledore with a calm expression. Then, at Professor McGonagall's instruction, he turned right, walked along the rostrum, and entered the next room.
Silence returned to the auditorium again, because the second piece of parchment had appeared.
Dumbledore looked at the registration paper with a rare gaffe on his face. He fell into silence, and even the usually bright blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses seemed eclipsed at this moment.
The little wizards around didn't know what happened to the principal, but they felt the very oppressive atmosphere at the moment. No one dared to make a sound. The whole place was so quiet that only the crackling sound of the Goblet of Fire could be heard.
Dumbledore spoke with difficulty, his voice a little hoarse, and said: "The champion of Beauxbatons is Katarina Grindelwald-Monroe!"
Katalin stood up gracefully, shook her bright red hair, and walked lightly from between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables to the podium. She bowed gracefully to Dumbledore, and then walked into the room that Eleanor had just entered.
Daphne noticed something was wrong with Xie Lin's expression and whispered: "Xie Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Lin shook his head and said helplessly: "Daphne, I just feel that the world seems to have become different..."
Daphne chuckled, "Look what you said, why did you suddenly say these strange things... Let me tell you, although Krum and that Veela girl seem to be not weak, they have to compete with the best in Germany and France. Compared to pure-blood families, I'm afraid they are far inferior - I think the selection of Hohenheim and Monro is reasonable."
Xie Lin sighed and thought to himself, you are not a time traveler, so of course you cannot understand my feelings.
Astoria suddenly came over and grabbed Sherin's arm tightly, "There's something going on in the Goblet of Fire. It's time to read out the names of Hogwarts' warriors. Oh my god, I'm so nervous - it's going to be Xie Brother Lin, are you?"
There was silence in the entire auditorium, and almost all Hogwarts students held their breath...because they knew that the next one to be revealed would be the Hogwarts Warriors. The third piece of parchment arrived as expected.
"The Champion of Hogwarts—" Dumbledore grabbed it and froze there, staring at the note in his hand strangely. He cleared his throat and read aloud: "It's Sherrin Malfoy. !”
Except for the wizards of Slytherin, the other three houses erupted in a series of "Wow" exclamations.
"How is that possible? He is only in the fourth grade!"
"Could it be that the Goblet of Fire made a mistake? Although many people saw him put his name in, the Goblet of Fire actually chose him instead of Diggory?"
But some rational students retorted: "You are just envious and jealous - he is the youngest Sir Merlin, a man who can fight hundreds of dementors and kill a thousand-year-old basilisk on his own. The Goblet of Fire chose him." What’s weird?”
At this time, there was also a gaffe at the Slytherin table.
Draco stood up suddenly, his whole body was trembling, and his face was full of disbelief, "How is it possible, how is it possible... The Goblet of Fire actually chose him, not me... This is impossible... impossible……"
Sherrin looked at Draco's reaction with a thoughtful expression.
It seems that Draco is really confident. He believes from the bottom of his heart that he is better than me!
Schelling seemed to understand something.
He gently patted Astoria's hand and asked her to let go of her hand. Then he stood up and walked into the previous room with his head held high under the guidance of Professor McGonagall.
