Hogwarts Scholar System

After all, there are only a few people with brains like Hermione. Except for the professor and a limited number of people, the students all thought that Harry and Hermione signed up to participate in the competition on their own.

Although, with Maple's intervention, Harry and Hermione's warriors became warrior substitutes, this did not make the Hufflepuffs buy it.

Although Hufflepuff has always been at the bottom, this does not mean that they are accustomed to being at the bottom and are willing to be mediocre. If they can step on others, who would be willing to be a stepping stone for others?

Finally, their pride Cedric Diggory became the school's warrior, but before they could celebrate Hufflepuff's glorious day, Harry and Hermione cruelly shattered their dreams.

Hufflepuff, who had always been on good terms with Gryffindor, became angry after Harry and Hermione took away the honor that the Hufflepuffs thought should belong to Cedric. , had a strong resentment towards Gryffindor who had taken away the honor that Hufflepuff had finally hoped for, and the instigators, Harry and Hermione, were even less popular with them.

During the Herbology class, Harry was assigned to a group with Ernie Macmillan and Justin Finch-Fletchley from Hufflepuff, but they each did their own thing and ignored Harry at all. They had a dead look on their face the whole time, as if they were haggling. It seemed like Lee owed them a hundred galleons and hadn't paid them back.

The bouncing bulb is as its name suggests. Although it is a plant, it can bounce and move like a bouncing ball.Harry, who had no one to cooperate and had no choice but to transplant the bouncing bulb by himself, soon ran into problems. He accidentally broke free from a twisting bouncing bulb and was hit hard in the face by the bouncing bouncing bulb. .

Hufflepuffs Ernie Macmillan and Justin Finch-Fletchley laughed unashamedly and gloatingly in Harry's face, which was very uncomfortable.

But the kind-hearted Harry thought he was in the wrong, so he didn't ask any questions and continued to work in silence.

Such an unpleasant scene happened in the class, but Ms. Sprout, the professor of Herbology, said nothing. It's no wonder, she is the headmistress of Hufflepuff.

Normally, Harry would definitely be eager to see Hagrid, but Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class means meeting Slytherin students at the same time - this will be the first time he meets Slytherin after becoming a warrior. They meet head-on.

Just as he expected, Malfoy arrived at Hagrid's hut with his sarcastic smile firmly on his face.

"Ah, look, lads, this is the Warrior," he said to Crabbe and Goyle, as he approached, figuring Harry could hear him. "Do you have a book signed by him? Best of all. Get him to sign his autograph quickly. I doubt he'll be here long. Half of the Triwizard Tournament warriors are dead. Potter, how long do you think you can survive? I guess it's about 10 minutes after the first event starts. Bar."

Harry was a little envious of Hermione, who was also a Gryffindor warrior, but Malfoy did not dare to taunt Hermione. As long as he dared to curse Hermione to death, Maple would immediately teach him a profound lesson.

Crabbe and Goyle giggled ingratiatingly, but Malfoy had to stop there, because Hagrid came back from behind his hut with a stack of rickety boxes in his arms, each containing a bulky tube. Blast-tailed snail.

Hagrid began to explain that the reason why the Blast-Ended Skrewts kill each other is because they have extra energy with nowhere to release it.In order to solve this problem, each student had to tie a snail with a rope and take it for a walk.The students were very scared after hearing this.The only advantage of this plan was that it completely attracted Malfoy's attention.

"Take this thing for a walk?" he asked disgustedly, staring at a box. "Where should we tie the rope? To its spines, to its tail, or to its suction cups?"

"Tie in the middle," Hagrid said, showing everyone, "Well, I'm afraid you need to put on your dragonhide gloves as an extra precaution. Harry, Hermione, come here and help me deal with it. This big guy——"

It was obvious that Hagrid wanted to avoid the rest of the class and have a chat with Harry and Hermione.He waited until everyone had walked away with the Blast-Ended Skrewts, then turned to them and said very seriously: "So, you are going to compete, to participate in the Tournament, as the school's warriors."

"Warrior substitute!" Hermione corrected him.

Under Hagrid's thick and unkempt eyebrows, his beetle-like black eyes looked very worried.

"I wonder who put your names in?"

"What, you believe we didn't do that?" said Harry, trying to hide his sudden surge of gratitude at Hagrid's words.

"Of course I do," Hagrid muttered. "I believe you, Dumbledore believes it, everyone believes you."

"I wish I knew who did it," Harry said bitterly.

Hagrid turned to look at the lawn, and Harry and Hermione also followed his gaze. They saw that the students were now scattered, and each one was walking with difficulty.The Blast-Ended Skrewt was now over three feet long and incredibly strong.They are no longer fleshy, shellless and colorless, but have grown a thick, shiny, gray-white armor-like thing.They look somewhere between a giant scorpion and an elongated crab, but still can't tell where the head and eyes are.They are now extremely powerful and difficult to control.

"They look happy, don't they?" Hagrid said happily, and Harry concluded he was talking about the Blast-Ended Skrewts, because his classmates were obviously not happy.From time to time, with a frightening crackling sound, the tail of a snail exploded, pushing the snail forward several meters. More than one student was dragged to the ground by it, struggling desperately to stand up. .

Only Maple was more leisurely. He used magic to fix a strong stick on the ground, and then tied the rope with the snails tightly to the stick.Maple enchanted the rope to make it look like a rubber band, so that the snail could pull the rope and walk a few meters away, and then the rope would shrink and pull the squid back to the original place.

After Maple showed his hand, other Gryffindors asked him for help. They tied up the snails and hid away leisurely. After a while, all the Gryffindor students felt relaxed.

The students in Slytherin were very envious, but unfortunately none of them could use such magic. They couldn't shamelessly ask for help from their rival Gryffindor, so they could only continue to deal with their own bombs with bitter hatred. The tailed snail makes the Gryffindor little lions laugh.

After Hermione saw this scene, she also aroused her competitive spirit and immediately used the same magic on the blast-ended snail they were dealing with.

"Well, I don't know, Harry," Hagrid sighed suddenly, looking back at Harry with a worried look on his face, "As the school's warriors, anything can happen to you. ,Yeah?"

As a member of the professors and someone whom Dumbledore trusted very much, Hagrid naturally learned the new rules quickly after Halloween.But although he was worried about Harry's safety, he didn't offer to let Harry's performance nearly be edited out, as Maple did.

The rest of Harry's days were as difficult as his second year.Although Hermione is a warrior like him, Hermione is a witch.They could only exclude and isolate Hermione, but they couldn't directly use insulting words or actions, and they didn't dare. Maple always stayed by her side like a protector, and they didn't want to give Maple an excuse to take action.

But they were not so polite to Harry.Moreover, Harry is also a celebrity, a hero who defeated the Dark Lord and a Quidditch hero. The more famous he is, the more they like to throw dirty water on him, watch when he is ostracized, and even step on him.

Harry could understand the attitude of the Hufflepuffs, although he didn't like it. They wanted to support their warriors.As for the Slytherins, he had long known that they would only give him vicious insults.He was extremely unpopular with them, it had always been that way, and Harry was used to it, so it didn't matter.Because he represented Gryffindor and defeated Slytherin many times in Quidditch matches and House Cup competitions.

However, the Ravenclaws were also on the opposite side of him, which made Harry feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Slytherin was the target of public criticism, but I never thought that Gryffindor would be isolated by all other students.

Perhaps to Ravenclaw, Gryffindor is like a dragon slayer.

After the dragon-slaying warriors killed the evil dragon, they themselves became evil dragons.

Before Harry went to school, Slytherin was a well-deserved evil dragon. Their worship of pure blood made them look down on students from all other houses. Their dean Snape's partiality and targeting of students from other houses made Slytherin even more miserable. The Lins grew increasingly isolated and disgusted.But they also occupy the school's highest honor, the College Cup and the School Quidditch Cup, which is even more annoying.

Harry helped Gryffindor end Slytherin's undefeated myth. At that moment, Harry and Gryffindor immediately became dragon slayers in the eyes of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

But after ending Slytherin's evil rule, Gryffindor began to hold on to the honor of the School Cup again. Last year, it also made up for the only shortcoming of the Quidditch School Cup.

Well, you won based on your strength. Although you are unhappy, forget it.

But now, the Triwizard Tournament has finally allowed Hufflepuff to win an honor, but you Gryffindors still don't let it go. This is too overbearing!

Disgust and dissatisfaction came from all directions, making Harry breathless.

Fortunately, Harry still had Ron by his side. With the support of his best friend, Harry's life was much better. At this point, Harry was very grateful to Maple.

Sure enough, Sirius Black rushed over immediately after learning the news, but I didn't know whether he read the Daily Prophet or the magic radio station he created.

Television stations are a more convenient communication channel than newspapers. Logically speaking, Magic TV should be able to easily defeat the Daily Prophet to seize his position.

But this is not the case. When the program about the Triwizard Tournament was first broadcast, it did receive an enthusiastic response, which caught the Daily Prophet off guard.

The Wizards of the Daily Prophet were not all old-timers, and they immediately recognized the irreparable gap between their newspaper and television media.

As Maple expected, the wizards of the Daily Prophet did not honestly develop the magic TV station and the magic inscription of the magic TV on their own, but directly wanted ready-made ones.

After being rejected, inducements failed to achieve coercion, and he took advantage of his position and used dishonorable means to force the TV station to submit.

Fortunately, Maple found big bosses like Mr. Weasley and Dumbledore as backers, and the Daily Prophet's plan failed.

But God is not as good as man. Although Dumbledore's support prevented Maple's Magic TV station from making wedding dresses for others, his appearance also touched the fragile nerves of the sensitive Fudge.

The Daily Prophet can still be controlled by the Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic on that TV station has no chance to intervene. In addition, Dumbledore, whom Fudge is most afraid of, intervenes. Fudge immediately came up with a conspiracy theory——

Dumbledore regretted giving him the Minister of Magic, so he set up such a TV station and planned to start with public opinion.

No, he can't let his TV station defeat the Daily Prophet, otherwise when Dumbledore makes a promise, I'm afraid the wizarding world will be full of news that he, Fudge, will step down.

Dumbledore was Fudge's favorite, and Mr. Weasley was not popular among the pure-blood families. Therefore, with the joint action of the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood families, the TV station's great momentum was immediately suppressed.

However, it is impossible for Fudge to completely erase magical television from the wizarding world.

First of all, magic TV is not illegal. If Fudge really wants to directly introduce a law banning magic TV, he may not be able to do it.

Before Fudge took action, there were already many magical TVs in the wizarding world through the sales of TV stations and gifts from Mr. Dumbledore and Mr. Weasley.

It is easy for a wizard with some ability to hide something from the Ministry of Magic, but for those who belong to a wizarding family with a certain status, the Ministry of Magic cannot search their homes and ask them to destroy the magic TV.

Anyone who has used Magic TV knows that Magic TV is much better than the Daily Prophet.

And because of the arrangement between Maple and Dumbledore for the Aurors, many Aurors also secretly hid a magic TV set, which Fudge probably never expected.

However, the methods of Fudge and Malfoy also made the TV station very uncomfortable. They directly targeted those who bought magic TV.

It's okay if you keep your appreciation secret, but if you openly use Magic TV in your own store or in public, they will use various despicable methods to punish you.

The Ministry of Magic is the only official organization in the wizarding world, and pure-blood families control most of the money in the wizarding world. Being self-employed will directly prevent you from finding a job, and shops will make you bankrupt.

TV stations are different from newspapers. If a newspaper raises its price, the cost can be recovered by selling the newspaper alone.But the TV station does not rely on the money from selling TV sets, but obtains advertising revenue through ratings.

Due to the Ministry of Magic's cunning operations, although the TV station was not directly blocked by the Ministry of Magic, they did not receive a single advertisement.

Fortunately, the TV station is only in its initial stage now. They currently only film and broadcast one project, the Triwizard Tournament, so it is not difficult to maintain it, but it does not make any profit.

It's just these things that Mr. Weasley and Alison didn't tell Maple.

Having already seen the big black dog, Peter Pettigrew is in Maple's hands, and there is no need to worry about Voldemort and other Death Eaters knowing the secret of Sirius' Animagus.

Sometime, this weekend?It would be best to call Professor Lupine as a witness.

By the way, before that, some preparations need to be made.

Maple thought about a plan carefully, and then he, Hermione, Harry and Ron went to Snape's underground classroom. There were two Potions classes in the afternoon.

When they arrived at the classroom, they found the Slytherin students waiting outside the classroom, each with a large badge pinned to the front of their robes.Harry didn't see the words clearly at first and didn't pay much attention.

But Malfoy and the others deliberately showed their badges so that Harry could see clearly——

I saw the same words printed on those badges, each bright red letter shining in the dim light of the underground corridor, as if on fire:

Support Cedric Diggory -

The true warriors of Hogwarts

"Do you like it, Potter?" Seeing Harry approaching, Malfoy said loudly, "They have other tricks, look!"

He pressed the badge hard on his chest, and the words on it disappeared, and then another line of words appeared, shining green:

Potter stinks

The Slytherins laughed strangely.Each of them clicked their badge, and finally the glaring words - Potter Stink - flashed all around Harry.Harry felt blood rush to his face and neck.

"Oh, very interesting," Hermione stepped forward and said sarcastically to Pansy Parkinson and the group of Slytherin girls, who were laughing harder than anyone else. "What a wit."

Maple, who was almost inseparable from Hermione, stepped forward. Malfoy and the others immediately showed wary expressions, fearing that Maple would suddenly take out her wand.

It was only in Snape's class, the head of Slytherin, that Malfoy dared to be so provocative, but he still did not dare to speak rudely to Hermione directly.

Under the vigilant gazes of Malfoy and others, Maple did not take action.However, Malfoy and the others quickly left and returned to their seats.

"Harry, there is no need to engage in boring arguments with these guys. As long as you achieve an excellent result in the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, that will be the most beautiful counterattack against them——

The better your performance in the Triwizard Tournament, the more it proves how childish Malfoy is doing now!He is like a clown who can only come up with some tricks that are not on the table.When you show off your abilities on stage, he can only watch your performance sadly in the audience! "

"I understand!" Harry said with a smile immediately after Maple solved it.
