Hogwarts Scholar System

"The first project is meant to test your mettle," he told Hermione, Harry, Cedric, Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum, "so we're not going to tell you what it is. .Dare to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard, very important..."

"The first project will be carried out on November 11, and will be completed in front of other students and the judging panel."

"When completing the competition events, warriors are not allowed to ask or accept any help from their teachers. When the warriors face the first round of challenges, the only weapon in their hands is their own wand. They will not understand until the first event is over. Regarding the situation in the second event. Due to the high demands and long duration of the competition, the warriors will not participate in the academic year examination."

Mr. Crouch turned to Dumbledore.

"I guess that's all, Albus?"

"Yes," Dumbledore said, looking at Mr. Crouch with some concern. "Are you sure you don't want to stay at Hogwarts tonight, Barty?"

"Yes, Dumbledore, I must go back to the Ministry," said Mr. Crouch. "These are very busy and difficult times. I put young Weatherby in temporary charge. He was very enthusiastic and said To be honest, it’s a bit too high—”

What a tragedy, Percy, Barty Crouch still can’t remember his name.

"Well, why don't you at least come over and have a glass of wine before you go?" Dumbledore said.

"Come on, Barty, I'm staying here!" Bagman said happily, "It all finally happened in Hogwarts, right? It's much more exciting and interesting here than the office!"

"I disagree, Ludo," Crouch said, with his usual impatience in his tone.

"Professor Karkaroff—Madame Maxime—would you like a nightcap?" said Dumbledore.

Madame Maxime, however, had put her arm around Fleur's shoulders and led her quickly out of the room.They spoke quickly in French as they walked toward the auditorium. Karkaroff greeted Krum, and they left without saying a word.

"Harry, Hermione, Cedric, I suggest you go back to bed." Dumbledore said, looking at the three of them with a smile, "I believe that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students are waiting. I’m celebrating with you. They finally had an excuse to make a fuss, and it would be inappropriate to take this opportunity away from them.”

The auditorium was now empty, and the flames of the candles were already very low, which made the jack-o-lantern's toothy smile look flickering and eerie.

"Although it is unfair to you that I am older than you, I will never show mercy and let you take away my warrior position!" Cedric said to Harry and Hermione, and then He turned to Harry and said firmly: "We are rivals again, but this time it will be me who wins!"

"It's too early to tell the outcome. Don't think that just because you are a senior, you can definitely beat us. It's not certain who will lose or win, right, Harry?" Cedric's words aroused Hermione's excitement. Maple secretly sighed because of her competitive spirit. He had planned so much just to let Hermione lose and avoid danger, but he ignored Hermione's competitive spirit.

"Ah - um!" Harry said, feeling a little unsure.

"Very good, then let's show off!" Cedric said confidently.If he wins, the only warrior in Hogwarts and the honor will still belong to him, and he has to thank Maple for his proposal.Thinking of Maple talking freely in front of two Ministry of Magic officials and three magic school principals, showing no timidity and boldly putting forward his suggestions, this made him feel ashamed.If his opponent were Maple, he might not have the confidence to win.But now his opponents were Harry and Hermione, and he saw no reason why he should lose.

"It's a showdown!" Hermione also responded, and Harry immediately followed up.

"So, can you tell me how you put your names in?" Cedric couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Cedric," Maple said at this time, "I thought you were not as mindless as other students, but I overestimated you. Think about it carefully, if Harry and Hermione were as stupid as Hogg If you vote in the name of Watts, the Goblet of Fire will only spit out the name of one of the three of you.

I know your father works for the Ministry of Magic, and you may have heard about Professor Moody from him.It would be very foolish to directly reject Professor Moody's words based on hearsay.

If it is true as you say, the senior Harry hired can interfere with the Goblet of Fire and make him the fourth warrior.So do you think the Goblet of Fire will still choose you as a warrior if such an outstanding person exists?Or do you think you can interfere with the Goblet of Fire? Maple asked rhetorically.

"Of course not," Cedric said. After being awakened by Maple's words, Cedric immediately showed the demeanor that a gentleman should have—

"I'm very sorry for misunderstanding you." Cedric apologized sincerely.

"Thank you for believing in us," Hermione and Harry said.

"Friendship comes first, competition comes second. No matter who wins or loses, as long as you try your best and leave no regrets. And no matter who is left behind in the end, he must hold the common expectations of the three of them and work hard for Hogg Watts won this honor!" Maple said.

"Well said!" Cedric praised.

"Come on, let's work together! For Hogwarts!" Maple stretched out her right hand.

"For honor!"

"To leave no regrets!"

"For Hogwarts!"

They also extended their right hands, touching Maple's, and then swung down hard.

"Hahaha!" The four cheered at the same time. Cedric put aside his grudges and Harry forgot about his nervousness. At this moment, they were rivals and friends!

"Goodbye! Good night!" Cedric headed to the Hufflepuff common room, while Maple, Hermione and Harry headed to Gryffindor Tower.

When they returned to Gryffindor Tower, there was a wrinkled witch in the Fat Lady's portrait. The school's portraits were interconnected, and they could visit each other's portraits.

The witch portrait must have dashed through every painting lining the seven flights of stairs to get here before they returned.Both she and the Fat Lady looked down at Harry and Hermione with great interest.

"Okay, okay, okay," said the Fat Lady, "Violet just told me everything. Who was just chosen as the school warrior?"

"Nonsense." Harry ignored them and said the password.

"Absolutely not!" said the pale witch angrily.

"No, no, Violet, that's the command," the Fat Lady soothed, and she swung forward, allowing the three of them into the common room.

When the portrait was opened, the sudden noise that filled their ears made them almost fall on their backs.Harry was then dragged into the common room by about a dozen pairs of hands, facing the entire Gryffindor house, who were all screaming, cheering, and whistling.

Fortunately, Hermione is a witch, and fortunately she has a strong boyfriend by her side, so Hermione will not be treated roughly like Harry.

"You should have told us you signed up!" shouted Fred, looking half annoyed, half excited.

"How can you get by without growing a beard?" George yelled.

"We don't," Hermione said, but her voice was quickly lost in the din of the crowd.

At this moment, Angelina rushed to them in a whirlwind, "Although I was not chosen, we have two warriors in Gryffindor, one more than Hufflepuff. Well done!"

"Okay, be quiet, be quiet!" Maple took out his wand and cast a large-scale silencing spell, and the rest room suddenly became quiet.

"Okay, Hermione is a girl, so she needs to go to bed early." Maple said thoughtfully, and then pushed Harry over without any sense of loyalty, truly demonstrating the inhumane side of people of the opposite sex, "Harry, leave it to you, do whatever you want. play."

"By the way, the Warrior of Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory, and Harry and Hermione are the Warrior substitutes. However, if Cedric's performance before the last event is not as good as theirs, then Cedric's Warrior will be replaced. The one with the best grades among them will take the place and participate in the last event." Maple said as she walked Hermione to the door of the girls' dormitory and lifted the silencing spell.

"Awesome, Harry, you must beat him. The only warrior in Hogwarts is ours!" Fred didn't care about the meaning of the warrior substitute at all. After hearing the second half of Maple's sentence, he immediately said excitedly Harry said.

Like the Hufflepuff students, they don't want to give this glory to each other. The only warrior in Hogwarts is what they want most!

Maple helped her girlfriend get rid of the entanglement, leaving Harry to suffer alone——

"We've prepared something to eat, Harry, come over and have some-"

"I'm not hungry. I ate enough at the party—"

But no one wanted to hear him say that he was not hungry, no one wanted to hear him say that he did not put his name into the goblet, and no one seemed to notice that he was not in the mood to celebrate at all.

Li Jordan dug out a Gryffindor house flag from somewhere and insisted on wrapping it around Harry like a cloak.Harry had no way of getting away, and every time he tried to sneak up the stairs to his dormitory, the crowd closed in on him, surrounding him, forcing him to drink another butterbeer, or forcing biscuits and peanuts into his hands. inside.Everyone wanted to know how he did it, how he managed to get past Dumbledore's age line and put his name into the goblet. . .

"I don't know," he said over and over, "I don't know what's going on."

But everyone ignored him at all, as if he didn't say anything.

"I'm tired!" After about half an hour, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, "No, seriously, George, I want to go to bed -"

Harry kept insisting that he needed to sleep, nearly knocking the Creevey brothers to the ground as they tried to intercept him at the top of the stairs.Finally, he finally got rid of everyone and hurried upstairs to the dormitory.

"Relax and let go!" After returning to the dormitory, Maple chanted a curse to Harry, and the flag on Harry's body was immediately untied.

"Thank you, Maple." Harry thanked him, and then he collapsed on his bed. "You hurt me, Maple."

"Sorry, sorry, I did it on purpose. Ah, tell the truth. Well Harry, didn't Professor Dumbledore say, 'They finally had an excuse to make a fuss and take them away. This opportunity is so undeserved. 'Look at how happy everyone is, can you bear to deprive them of such a grand event?" Maple said jokingly.

"Why was it me who was sacrificed?" Harry complained.

"Because Hermione is my girlfriend!" Maple said confidently.

Okay, stop complaining, I’ll give you a gift later.

Maple said silently in her heart.

Things have progressed to this point, and Peter Pettigrew is no longer relevant. Sirius Black must not be able to help but run over after hearing the news about Harry. It is also time to let Harry know the truth about his godfather being wrongly accused.

"Ron, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly?" Maple said.

"I-I-don't." Ron's expression was a little awkward, as if he was trying to force a smile.

"Are you envious? Are you envious of Harry?" Maple asked with a half-smile.

"No, I don't, how could it be?" Ron's face looked even worse.

"You're right, I don't envy Harry either. I don't want the honor I got at the expense of my parents. If possible, I would rather be mediocre in exchange for the company of my parents. But there is no if, no matter how much I long for it They came back to me, and they were gone, and I don’t even have photos of them. I’m afraid, I’m afraid that one day they will completely disappear from my memory..." Maple said, not only thinking of her previous life This is a dimensional separation that is more difficult than the separation between the abyss. As the memories in this life become more and more abundant, their memories in Maple's heart become increasingly blurred, but he is powerless to stop them.

The memory of his previous life is the memory in his soul, and his brain only has the experience of this life and the memory of this body's predecessor, so the pensieve is useless.

As she spoke, Maple couldn't help but think of her parents, whom she had only vague memories of. She couldn't help but feel sad, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Maple! Harry!" Maple said, which also aroused Harry's emotions. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and Ron had a guilty look on his face.

"Ron, when you are looking up and envying other people's happiness, you don't know that your own happiness is being looked up to and envied by others. Ron, there are many people who envy Harry, including Neville, Seamus, and Malfoy It is not wrong to desire fame, but it is a big mistake to be jealous. Ron, throw away the honor that Voldemort brought to Harry, you are not much worse than him, so use your strength to surpass him Come on, man!" Maple said.

"Okay!" Ron finally showed a sincere smile on his face, "Thank you, Maple. And, Harry, congratulations on becoming a warrior!"

"Thank you, Ron, good buddy!" Harry said happily. With the support of Ron, his best friend, Harry finally relieved his depression and gained the courage and confidence to face the unknown.

"Okay, it's already very late, it's time to go to bed, good night!"

"Good night!"

"Good night!"

The next day, Harry and Ron walked together down the spiral staircase to the common room below.As soon as Harry appeared, the classmates who had already had breakfast cheered enthusiastically again.Harry stopped immediately, feeling a little scared when he thought about entering the Great Hall and facing other Gryffindor classmates, and they all regarded him as a hero.

"Harry, this way." Hearing Maple's greeting, Harry immediately walked over, and Ron followed.

Maple was holding several breakfasts in her hands, and Hermione was also there. Harry took the bread and fried eggs that Maple gave him and said gratefully: "Fortunately, you were prepared."

When each of them had breakfast in their hands, Maple waved her wand again, and four cups of warm milk flew over.

"And milk, that's great." Hermione said happily. Compared to Harry, she didn't want to face the yelling classmates surrounding her.

They went downstairs and quickly crossed the foyer without so much as a glance at the auditorium.Soon, they were striding on the lawn that extended toward the lake.Durmstrang's large ship was moored on the lake, casting a dark reflection in the water.It was a cold morning, but luckily Maple and Hermione were now familiar with the Warming Charms, and as they walked, they told Ron what had happened last night.

After the incident, Hermione regained her senses, and while eating bread, she thought: "The question is, who put our names in? Professor Moody is right, no student can do this. , there is no way the students can deceive the Goblet of Fire, nor can they cross Dumbledore's age line."

Hermione didn't go to bed immediately after returning, but thought about it for a long time before falling asleep.Hermione couldn't figure out why her name also came out of the Goblet of Fire.If we talk about Harry, because of the relationship that led to the downfall of Voldemort, there are still many evil forces targeting him?But she seems to have nothing worthy of special attention. Why would someone target her?

Maple knew the answer, but he didn't want to tell Hermione. He would rather carry it alone.

"The cause of the matter is no longer important now. The mastermind behind the scenes can hide it from Professor Dumbledore. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him for a while. The most important thing now is to ensure your safety." Maple said He couldn't help but said, "Hermione, you can..."

"You don't have to say it, Maple, I won't agree." Hermione insisted, "That's not what you said yesterday. Do you have no confidence in me?"

"Of course not, okay, then I'll do my best to help you improve your fighting level!" Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Maple could only say helplessly.
