There are still twenty-four days until the first event.
Schelling is not at all worried about the upcoming events.
It would be best if everything happened according to the original plot, and he was already ready. Even if there is a deviation in the plot and the first project is not a fire dragon, it doesn't matter. Then use force to overcome cleverness and use absolute strength to break through.
He has absolute self-confidence. If he uses all his firepower, he will definitely be the strongest among the four contestants.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because his strength has far exceeded that of a student, even when facing an ordinary adult wizard, he is not weak.
Successfully selected to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, he achieved his first goal at Hogwarts this semester. Being exempted from the end-of-semester exam meant that he had more time to make his own plans. At the same time, using the excuse of preparing for the competition, he could justifiably ask the professor to give him more guidance and answer questions on advanced learning.
It's just the opposite when it comes to Harry.
After classes resumed, he could no longer hide from other classmates in the school. Apparently, classmates from several other colleges thought that Harry had signed up to participate in the tournament on his own, and they seemed to think that this matter was not very honorable.
After all, Harry is not Schelling.
No matter whether you like Xie Lin or not, or whether you like the Malfoy family or not, no little wizard can deny Xie Lin's strength.
Not to mention, after killing the Basilisk and defeating the Dementors, Schelling and Draco defeated Crazy Eyes Moody, which has been widely known to everyone, and how he got rid of the soul-stealing man simply by relying on willpower. The same goes for curses.
Although Sherrin is only in the fourth grade like Harry, everyone has high hopes for him and hopes that he can win this honor for Hogwarts. No one will think that his selection is not well-deserved.
And what about Harry?
Most of the young wizards seemed to think that Harry had used dishonorable means to deceive the Goblet of Fire and participate in the Triwizard Tournament purely to satisfy his selfish desire to be famous and show off. Don't forget, Harry has a history of riding a speeding car to school.
In their opinion, by doing this, Harry was stealing Sherrin's honor and ruining the reputation of Hogwarts.
Ernie MacMillan and Justin Finch-Fletchley, who had been very friendly with Harry, no longer spoke to him, even though they were transplanting Hobo bulbs on the same tray - but when a Hobo They all laughed in uncomfortable schadenfreude as the bulb squirmed out of Harry's grasp and smacked him across the face.
Ron stopped talking to Harry because he thought it was very unsightly for Harry to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament without telling him. Hermione sat between them, trying to find words to lighten the mood between the trio.
It is worth mentioning that Hermione this semester has grown a lot mentally than she did in the original book. At least, she learned to accept the differences in values between others and herself, and also learned to weigh and compromise.
She began to reflect on her own personality. In the past, she felt too good about herself. To put it bluntly, she was self-centered and had zero emotional intelligence. She likes to impose her own thoughts, values, and concepts on others, without any concern for the reasons and original intentions behind other people's actions.
This time, she did not criticize Ron for being childish and stingy, but tried to understand Ron's feeling of betrayal and discomfort.
She understood Ron's mood and tried her best to understand and guide him from Ron's perspective.
She told him that everyone is special and has his own place - there is no need to deliberately become what others want for others, because she knows that Ron, as the youngest son and the older brother, It put too much pressure on him. Most of these pressures were created by Ron himself.
So her relationship with Ron gradually improved.
What Hermione didn't notice was that when Ron was not paying attention, he secretly looked at her and began to have strange emotions in his eyes.
Similarly, although she was very dissatisfied with the treatment of house elves, she did not impose her own justice on others. She listened to Hagrid's advice and decided to treat them as kindly as she could, instead of completely ignoring the house elves and trying to free them like in the original book.
She gave up on the idea of founding the Society for the Advancement of House-Elf Rights. Instead, spend more energy on learning.
If you want to do practical things, you ultimately rely on strength and power!
Occasionally, when she was in a daze, she couldn't help but wonder whether this was the responsibility that the young man in her heart had always shouldered, whether this was what drove the young man to pursue knowledge and fame every day, whether this was the relationship between the young man and her. The biggest difference in stance...
It seems that I really have never understood you...
Let’s go back to Xie Lin.
Schelling's current focus was on finding Merlin's Chamber of Secrets, since Peeves was an obvious clue.
Contrary to what many students believe, Peeves is not a ghost, but a poltergeist.
(Note: The mischievous spirit monster is the author's translation, and the People's News Agency translated it as "mischievous spirit". The author believes that the mischievous spirit monster can be better distinguished from the elves)
Poltergeist, whose name is of German origin and literally means "poltergeist," is an incorporeal entity that can move objects, bang doors, and create other sounds, movement disorders, and even has a physical enough form that it can chew gum Can be stuffed into their nostrils.
The Poltergeist has never been a living person. This characteristic shows that it, like Dementors and Boggarts, belongs to the category of "non-living things" or "non-existence". It has never died and cannot die. Because it has never survived either.
Xelling went out for a night out openly during the night curfew time. He was confident that Filch and his cat could not do anything to him.
As he expected, he was caught by Peeves.
When Peeves was about to yell and report Xie Lin, Xie Lin quickly waved his wand, and Peeves suddenly found that his mouth was sealed, his tongue was tied, and he could not make any sound. As a mature ghost who has read countless people, he immediately knew that he had messed with a ruthless person, so he turned around and ran away.
Xie Lin pointed his wand in the direction where Peeves was escaping and said softly: "Seize the spirit and chase the spirit!"
Peeves suddenly found that his body was out of control, and seemed to be pulled in the direction of Sherrin by an extremely powerful suction force. It struggled desperately, but it did not help the current situation.
After Schelling used the soul-binding spell to forcefully capture Peeves, he flipped his other hand, took out a special bottle container, and forced Peeves into it with his wand.
At this time, he also heard the hurried footsteps of Filch and his cat. He calmly cast the invisible phantom spell on himself, then calmly walked past Filch and Loris, and returned to his dormitory safe and sound.
Back in the dormitory, Xie Lin had just released Peeves. Peeves immediately rushed towards the wall, trying to escape quickly before Xie Lin had time to react, but found that at some point, his ghost-like body had been It was bound by a magic chain that exuded an eerie red light, making it unable to even move a finger. The other end of the magic chain was connected to the end of Schelling's wand.
Peeves angrily cursed: "Peeves is in trouble this time, and I admit it! Why are you holding on to me!"
Xie Lin said slowly: "No hurry, no rush, I want to ask you about someone. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, how about I not only let you go, but also give you some prank supplies?" Xie Lin said to the desk. He pointed at the box of dung eggs on the table.
"Okay, okay! It's a deal! Tell me, who do you want to ask about? Peeves will tell you everything he knows!"
Xie Lin smiled and said slowly: "Merlin!"
