Hogwarts Scholar System

Because today is Halloween, the decoration of the auditorium has been changed into a festive style.A swarm of live bats flew around the enchanted ceiling, while hundreds of little pumpkin figures leered at everyone from every corner.

However, because the Triwizard Tournament was being held, no students cared about this. All they talked about was the Triwizard Tournament.

It was only after the bats flew over his head for an unknown amount of time that Maple finally realized that today was still a holiday.

The Weasley brothers were sent to the hospital, and they had no intention of feeding the ghosts.The ghosts in Hogwarts are relatively reserved and will not take the initiative to ask Maple and the Weasley brothers for food.

Maybe the magic of transforming ghost food should be publicized to all teachers and students in the school. No, just teach this magic to the house elves. Since the house elves can even master apparation, as long as Dumbledore, their master, is next Command, they should be able to learn it quickly.

Then the house elves can directly provide the ghost with food that they can taste, without him having to go through the trouble every Halloween.

Looking at these ghosts, Maple suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.

Ah, right!

After Maple said goodbye to the ghost, he immediately ran out in a hurry. He ran so fast that he didn't even notice that there was a tail behind him.

Maple ran all the way to the eighth floor and came to the door of the Room of Requirement. She thought to herself, 'I need a place to practice the Patronus Charm.' Then she opened the door and went in.In the room where Hermione and the others were practicing the Patronus Charm, there was a silver box on the ground.

The Dementor who practiced the Patronus Charm. After the practice, Maple didn't know where to put the Dementor at first, so he stayed in the Room of Requirement.Then he forgot about it until now.

Maple opened the box and saw the poor, hungry, almost transparent Dementor inside.

However, although the dementor is too hungry to move, it is not a life in the ordinary sense, so it looks like a transparent dementor that is about to disappear, but it is not completely dead yet.

Maybe if they continue to starve, the dementors will be infinitely close to death, but they just won't take their last breath.

Of course, the Dementor, who was extremely weak at the moment, might be able to kill it with the very loose Patronus released by Harry and the others for the first time.

Feeling the long-lost happiness, the dying dementor sucked greedily.Maple felt a little sorry, so she didn't release the patron saint to stop it.It's just that he was still too naive. The dementor, who was about to faint from hunger, was completely out of control. His body had recovered a little and had the strength to move again, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself and continued sucking.

This kind of sinful creature is indeed not worthy of pity. Maple used to think that this alien life form born out of despair was a bit pitiful, because it is their natural instinct to absorb happiness, and perhaps this is not what they want.

I want to be a good person, but no one gives me a chance.

But now Maple felt that this sympathy was really ridiculous. Looking at the performance of this dementor, it didn't matter whether they were pitiful or not.Because they are hopeless, if they still have good intentions, the best relief for them is to disappear from this world.

"Protection guard!" The Dementor was directly bounced back by Maple's Patron Saint. Maple's Patron Saint drove him away. Before he took the initiative to attack, the pressure of the Patron Saint alone made the Dementor weak again. Unbearable, it vomited out the happiness it had just absorbed from Maple.

"Giggle, giggle, a student actually imprisoned a guard of a magic prison. You will be arrested by the Ministry of Magic." At this time, a familiar strange laughter sounded next to Maple, and it turned out to be Peeves.

"Peeves, why don't you eat the food I gave you with the ghosts? Why are you following me?" Peeves followed him all the way to the Room of Requirement. He didn't even notice. Maple felt that she was really careless.Peeves discovered that he was hiding a Dementor, which put him in some trouble. Maple had a headache, but still pretended to be calm and said.

"Maple, you have gone too far. Do you want to report it to the Minister of Magic?" Peeves said with a naughty smile on his face.Peeves may have just wanted to play a prank and didn't intend to actually tell the truth.But there were too many uncertainties about Peeves, and Maple didn't dare to guarantee it.It has to be said that Peeves' behavior was somewhat unwise.Maybe he was just joking, but how could a temperless wizard who had dealt with all the dementors be joking casually?

"What are you doing?" Peeves didn't know what magic Maple had cast to make his ghost-like body unable to move.Ordinary immobilization spells cannot deal with ghosts at all. The Patronus can deal with dementors born from despair, but it cannot deal with Peeves who has concentrated mischievous thoughts. This is probably why Peeves has no fear in front of Maple. .But Peeves seemed to have overlooked something, that is, he had just eaten the food that Maple gave to their ghosts before.

Not everyone can be flirted with, and Peeves realizes this too late.

"What are you going to do?" Peeves screamed in fear, and then his body fell uncontrollably into an extremely dark hole.

Peeves' soul is too weird. He is not an evil spirit, so Maple thinks that even the thunder spell of Maoshan Technique may not have an effect on him.

There happened to be a dementor next to him, and Maple happened to know about the dementor's kiss, so he accidentally came up with a bold idea.

This idea immediately aroused Maple's great interest——

What would happen if Peeves fell into a Dementor's kiss?

Peeves was stuffed into the hole under the Dementor's cloak. The moment he entered, the Dementor realized that this was not the soul he wanted to eat.The Dementor wanted to spit out Peeves, but Maple, who had already anticipated this, hit the Dementor's mouth with his Patronus, and the Dementor swallowed Peeves again.

The color of the Dementor's body became darker again, but fortunately Maple controlled the force and did not directly kill it.

After a while, the dementor suddenly trembled violently, and the air around it was a little messy due to the violent breathing from its mouth.The performance of the dementors made Maple instantly think of the spider in Moody's class that was cast with the Cruciatus Curse. 'If it could speak, it would definitely make the most miserable scream.'

It seemed like he had indigestion. Maple looked on excitedly as if he was possessed by Orochimaru.

Maple suddenly thought that the dementors' kiss might be their way of reproduction.

The small North Sea island where the wizard's prison is located cannot be plotted on maps, and it cannot be discovered by wizards or Muggles.An evil wizard named Extis was probably the first inhabitant, building a fortress on the island and managing to lure Muggle sailors there and torture them to death.After Extis's death, the concealment spell he used on the fortress and the island failed, and it was only then that the Ministry of Magic became aware of the existence of such an island.

After the Ministry of Magic went to investigate, they discovered Dementors there and developed into a colony.

Those who were ordered to investigate later refused to talk about what they found inside, but there is no doubt that it is the birthplace of Dementors, and the birth process of Dementors must be extremely evil and cruel.

Dementors can suck all the joy out of their prey, turning their souls into numbness and despair just like themselves.

When a dementor inhales a soul that is just as desperate as them, it can give birth to a new dementor in its body.

Of course, Muggles have no magic power, their souls can only be used as nourishment, and only the souls of wizards are necessary for their reproduction.When Voldemort made a comeback and removed Dumbledore, the biggest obstacle, the dementors could act without scruples, but they did not madly devour the souls of Muggles. This was probably the reason.

Swallowing a soul that has lost all willpower and has no ability to resist can allow Dementors to give birth to new species of its kind, but what about inhaling a ghost that still has happy emotions?

We eat in response to our body's needs, but we have no way of interfering with the process of food entering the body's internal cells for digestion.

Entering the Dementor's body through the passage of the Dementor's Kiss, the structure inside its body assimilates the swallowed soul into itself as usual.

Ghost dementors cannot be digested, but ghosts who have no positive will to escape the reincarnation of death are also unable to do anything to dementors.But there is something special about Peeves. He is the result of the mischievous thoughts of countless generations of students.

Peeves gets fun by teasing students who violate school rules, and happiness is food for the Dementors, but it is also what they are afraid of.

It would be fine if he just swallowed a ghost, just like eating raw food and spitting it out, but Peeves has a positive emotion and will.

The result is of course obvious. The dying dementor tortured by Maple was quickly defeated and lost its breath.

I just don't know what will happen to Peeves, the troublemaker, after he absorbs the body of a dementor.

The dementor's ugly body slowly shrank, as if it had been swallowed and absorbed by the parasite that suddenly penetrated the body. Its figure continued to shrink, slowly changing towards Peeves' figure.

But when its body stopped shrinking, it just lay on the ground and stopped moving. Maple waited for a long time without noticing any movement.

Maybe Peeves is dead too, maybe he is merging with the dementors and undergoing a slow transformation.

This transformation may continue for hours, days, or even months, but it may be completed after just one more stick of incense.

But Maple had no patience to stay any longer and was ready to leave.But before leaving, just in case, Maple summoned the contracted unicorn Serena, and then carved Maoshan's evil-killing charm around Peeves.

Maple couldn't be sure what kind of monster the combination of Peeves and Dementors would produce, but if it became a dark creature like a Dementor, the evil-killing spell that added the pure and good magic of the unicorn would definitely inflict heavy damage on it. .If he was still like Peeves, then Maple's spell wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

When Maple came to find the ghost, Harry, Ron and Seamus discussed those Hogwarts students over the age of seventeen who might participate in the Tournament.

As soon as they heard Volint from Slytherin put his name in, Harry and the others all had expressions of disgust and disgust on their faces.

Currently, only Angelina Johnson has voted for Gryffindor. She is also the chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and Gryffindor's biggest rival is Hufflepuff's Diggory.

He is Hufflepuff's Quidditch seeker and captain.

Suddenly, I discovered that these popular candidates for Hogwarts were all on the Quidditch team.

After finishing breakfast, Ron asked: "So what should we do now?"

"Where's Maple?" Hermione looked around but couldn't find him. "Where did he go?"

"Are you going to find him again?" Ron said.

"Uh-oh-no," Hermione blushed and said duplicitously, "Harry, what are your plans?"

"We might as well go see Hagrid." Harry suggested.

"Well -" Hermione faltered, and suddenly found Ron staring at her, and immediately said: "What a great idea! Let's go!"

After taking a few steps, they stopped again.

Beauxbatons students walked in through the front door from the grounds, including the girl who looked like a Veela.Those gathered around the Goblet of Fire stood back to let them pass, and watched eagerly.

Madame Maxime followed her students into the hall and ordered them to line up.One by one, Bushbottom's students crossed the age line and threw their parchments into the blue-white flames.As each name was thrown into the flames, the flames quickly turned red and sparked.

When all the Busheparton students signed up, Mrs. Maxim led them out of the hall and back to the outside field.

"What do you think will happen to those who are not chosen?" Ron asked Harry quietly when the girl who looked like a Veela threw her parchment note into the Goblet of Fire. "They are returning to their own schools. , or stay here to watch the game?”

"I don't know," Harry said. "I guess she'll stay here. Madame Maxime will still be a referee here, right?"

So, where do they sleep? "Ron looked at them, no, it should have been her back saying, but after receiving Hermione's contemptuous look, Ron immediately shut his mouth.

As they approached Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the secret of where the Beauxbatons students slept was revealed.The huge pink-blue carriage they came in had stopped two hundred yards away from the main entrance of Hagrid's hut, and the Beauxbatons students were getting in.The huge elephant-like flying horses that were pulling the carriage were grazing in a makeshift paddock next to the carriage.

Harry knocked on Hagrid's door, and Fang's deep barking was immediately heard in the room.

"Finally here!" Hagrid opened the door and said, "I thought you little guys had forgotten where I live!"

"We're too busy, Ha-" Hermione stopped mid-sentence, looking up at Hagrid, obviously too surprised to speak.

Hagrid was wearing his best furry brown suit with a yellow and orange plaid tie.That's not the worst of it, though: He'd apparently tried to straighten his hair out, using a lot of machine grease and stuff like that.

His hair was now neatly combed into two bunches. Perhaps he had originally planned to wear a ponytail like Bill's, but found that he had too much hair, and this look did not suit Hagrid.

Hermione looked at him blankly for a moment, then, apparently deciding not to comment, said, "Well - where are the Blast-Ended Skrewts?"

"Out in the pumpkin patch," Hagrid said cheerfully, "they've grown really big. They must be three feet long each now. There's just one problem, they're starting to kill each other."

"Oh, that's too bad!" said Hermione, silencing Ron with a glare.Ron had been staring at Hagrid's weird hairstyle and was about to open his mouth to make a comment.

"Yes," Hagrid said sadly, "but it doesn't matter, I have separated them and put them in the box now. There are only about twenty of them."

"Ah, what a blessing!" said Ron.Hagrid didn't catch the irony in this statement.

Hagrid started making tea, they sat down at the table, and soon started talking about the Triwizard Tournament.Hagrid seemed as excited about the event as they were.

"You just wait," he grinned. "You just wait and see. You'll see things you've never seen before. The first project is—ah, I shouldn't say it."

"Go on, Hagrid!" urged Harry, Ron and Hermione, but Hagrid shook his head and grinned.

"I don't want to spoil your fun," Hagrid said, "but it's going to be exciting, I tell you. Those warriors have their work cut out for them. I never thought I'd see the Triwizard Tournament resume in my lifetime. Got it!"

They ended up having lunch with Hagrid, but neither of them ate much.Hagrid made them a pot of something he said was a steak chowder, and Hermione dug a giant claw out of her portion, after which she, Harry and Ron lost their appetites.

However, they still had a good time. They tried their best to coax Hagrid to tell them what events were included in the competition, speculated on which participants might be selected as warriors, and worried about the beards on Fred and George's faces. It's not faded.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it began to rain lightly, and they felt so comfortable.Sitting by the warm fire, listening to the raindrops tapping on the pane, watching Hagrid darning his socks while debating house elves with Hermione.

Hagrid refused to join spew, which made Hermione a little unhappy.

"That's not a good thing for them, Hermione," he said seriously, threading a thick yellow yarn through a thick bone needle. "Their nature is to take care of humans, and they like it, understand? What if? They will feel miserable if they are not allowed to work, and it would be an insult to them to pay them.”

"But Dobby is so happy that Harry freed Dobby!" said Hermione, "and we heard that he is now asking others to pay him for his work!"

"Yeah, yeah, there are some freaks in every creature. I'm not denying that there are some weird little elves who would like to be free, but you'll never convince most elves to want freedom. Really, it's not Maybe, Hermione."

Although Hermione was very annoyed, she did not forget what Maple had discussed with her because of her anger.

Hagrid immediately became interested when he heard that Maple and Hermione had set up a television station and planned to give him a program about caring for magical creatures.I excitedly chatted with Hermione about the show, and the atmosphere became friendly again.

Hagrid couldn't finish talking about the experience of taking care of magical creatures. It wasn't until 05:30 when it got dark that Ron reminded him of the time. It was time for them to return to the castle for the Halloween party and the announcement of the school warriors. The ceremony cannot be missed, and Hagrid stopped with something to say.

"I'll go with you," Hagrid said, putting his darning stuff aside. "Just give me a moment."

Hagrid stood up, walked to the chest of drawers next to the bed, and started looking for something in it.They didn't pay much attention at first, until a particularly unpleasant smell hit their nostrils.Ron coughed and asked, "Hagrid, what is that?"

"Huh?" Hagrid turned around, holding a big bottle in his hand, "Don't you like it?"

"Is it the emollient perfume you put on after shaving?" Hermione asked in a strangled voice.

"Hmm - it's the cologne," muttered Hagrid, flushing. "Probably too much," he said hoarsely, "I'll wash it off and wait a minute—"

He trudged out of the hut, and they saw him washing his face furiously in a bucket outside the window.

"Cologne?" Hermione asked in surprise, "Hagrid?"

"And what's with the hair and suit?" Harry asked in a low voice.

"Look!" Ron said suddenly, pointing out the window.

Hagrid had straightened up and turned away.If he was blushing just now, it was nothing compared to his face now.

Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up carefully so as not to be seen by Hagrid. They secretly looked out the window and saw Madame Maxime and the Beauxbatons students just getting out of the carriage, apparently preparing to attend the banquet.They couldn't hear what Hagrid was saying, but when he was talking to Madame Maxime, he looked entranced and misty-eyed, an expression Harry had only seen once - when he looked at The little dragon Nob was born.

"He's going to the castle with her!" Hermione said angrily. "I thought he was waiting for us!"

Hagrid didn't even look back at his cabin before he walked across the grounds with Madame Maxime with heavy steps.The Beauxbatons students followed, jogging to keep up with their long strides.

"He's in love with her!" Ron said in disbelief. "Ah, if they have children in the future, they will definitely set a world record - I dare say each of their children weighs a ton."

They left the hut by themselves and closed the door. They didn't expect it to be so dark outside.Wrapping their cloaks tighter around them, they walked up the slope of the lawn.
