Hogwarts Scholar System

"Ah, this is my product, isn't it?" Mr. Ollivander said when Cedric handed over the wand, the expression on his face was much more excited than before, "Yes, I remember it very clearly. There was a hair plucked from the tail of a particularly beautiful male unicorn, which must have been five or six feet long. I plucked the unicorn's tail hair, and it almost stabbed me with its horn. Twelve and a quarter inches, made of oak, good elasticity. In excellent condition, do you take care of it regularly?"

"Just wiped it last night," Cedric said, grinning.

Mr. Ollivander blew out a string of silvery white smoke rings from the head of Cedric's wand, and the smoke rings floated from one end of the room to the other. He expressed his satisfaction and said, "Miss Granger, it's your turn. "

Hermione stood up, walked over and handed Ollivander her wand.Ollivander stroked Hermione's wand as if it were his own child: "Fourteen inches long, made of grapevine wood, with a dragon heartstring core. I was shocked when this wand chose you. There is no doubt about the power of a wand, but its characteristics are more suitable for wizards. Few witches will be chosen by such a wand. It was not until later that I heard about your excellent performance in school that my doubts were dispelled. Your outstanding achievements are not inferior to those of wizards, which proves that the choice of this wand is correct. The wand chooses the wizard, and the eagle spreads its wings!"

It seems that he is deliberately trying to compete with Krum's wand, which is also the core of Dragon Heartstring, but comes from two different wand makers.

Hermione's wand did not make as much noise as Krum's wand when casting spells, but the eagle released by Ollivander with her wand was very powerful, and when it flapped its wings, strong winds swayed around them, and their clothes were blown away. The robe blew up, then flew out the window and disappeared.

There was sudden movement in Krum's originally listless eyes, and he became extremely interested in Hermione and her wand.

Fleur Delacour, who noticed this, couldn't help but think in her heart that this guy was not a wooden person.

But in an instant, Fleur showed her displeasure again. Fleur had always been confident in her charm, but her charm did not arouse any reaction from Viktor Krum, which made her a little frustrated.

But it happened that the seemingly unremarkable witch from Hogwarts caught his attention before him.

This made Fleur extremely unhappy. She also turned her attention to Hermione. She wanted to take a closer look. What was there about this witch that was worthy of attention?

It's not that Fleur had any thoughts about Viktor Krum. She was a natural beauty who looked down upon the prey she conquered, but she remembered those who didn't fall under her pomegranate skirt, not to mention Wick. Dolkrum also has the aura of being the youngest seeker in the history of Quidditch superstars.

Unsatisfied with her desires, Fleur was already thinking about Hermione Granger and was going to focus on her during the competition, making sure to dominate her.The outcome of the Triwizard Tournament and Beauxbatons' honor were temporarily thrown into second place by her.

I have to say, girls’ jealousy is really scary.

"Very well," said Mr. Ollivander, handing the wand back to Hermione, "and last but not least - Mr. Potter."

Harry stood up and walked towards Mr Ollivander, who took out his wand.

"Ah, yes," said Mr. Ollivander, his pale eyes flashing suddenly with excitement, "yes, yes, yes. I remember it clearly."

Harry could still remember it all as if it happened yesterday. . .

Three summers ago, on his eleventh birthday, he and Hagrid walked into Mr. Ollivander's shop to buy a wand.Mr. Ollivander took the measurements of various parts of his body and began to hand him wands one by one to try out.

Harry felt like he had waved all the wands in the shop before finally finding one that suited him.The wand was made of holly wood, eleven inches long, and contained a phoenix tail hair.

Mr. Ollivander was very surprised to see Harry handling the wand with ease. "It's amazing," he said. "It's amazing."

When Harry asked what was so strange, Mr. Ollivander explained that the phoenix feather in Harry's wand and the feather in Voldemort's wand were plucked from the same bird.

Harry never told anyone about this.He liked his wand very much, and in his opinion, he could not blame it for the relationship between this wand and Voldemort's wand, just as he could not sever the relationship with Aunt Petunia, whom he once hated so much.

However, he really hoped that Mr. Ollivander would not tell anyone in the room about this.He had a strange feeling that if Mr. Ollivander revealed the secret, Rita Skeeter's shorthand quill would explode with excitement.

Mr. Ollivander spent much longer examining Harry's wand than the others.Finally, he caused a stream of wine to squirt from the wand, then handed the wand back to Harry, declaring it to be in excellent condition.

"Thank you everyone," Dumbledore said, standing up next to the referee's table, "Now you can go back to class. Maybe it would be more convenient to go directly to eat. Anyway, they will end get out of class soon."

Harry and Hermione were about to leave together, but the man with the black camera jumped up and cleared his throat.

"Take a picture, Dumbledore, take a picture!" Bagman shouted excitedly. "What do you think, Rita?"

"Well, okay, let's take a group photo first," Rita Skeeter said, her eyes falling on Harry again, "Maybe take some solo photos later."

Taking pictures took a long time.Madame Maxime blocked the others wherever she stood, and the room was too small for the photographer to stand far enough away to include her in the frame; in the end she had to sit down while the others stood around her.

Karkaroff kept twirling his fingers around his goatee, trying to curl it.As for Krum, I really didn't expect that he, a famous world-class Quidditch star, would be hiding behind everyone.

The photographer seemed particularly aggressive in trying to get Fleur to the front, but Rita Skeeter always caught up and pulled Harry into a more prominent position.Then, she insisted on taking individual photos of the Warriors and Warriors substitutes one by one.It took a long time before they finally got out.

At night, Maple finally started to take action. He quietly followed Crookshanks, who hooked up with Sirius again, and often stole food for Sirius to eat.

Maple knew from the beginning that Sirius should be hiding in the Shrieking Shack, but in order to conceal his foresight, he chose to follow Crookshanks.

The food that Crookshanks can hold in his mouth is limited, but he still runs hard on his short legs.

What a kind and loving cat!

Maple had been following Crookshanks in the sky as an Animagus, so he did not arouse Crookshanks' alertness.Crookshanks' little figure ran all the way to the Whomping Willow, and entered through an inconspicuous hole at the root of the Whomping Willow.

Its small body does not need to worry about being attacked by the Whomping Willow, and the same goes for Maple's Animagus.

Maple flew into a very short tunnel. At the entrance of the tunnel was a slide that sloped downwards. The entrance was guarded by the Whomping Willow. It was very hidden. No wonder it had not been discovered by students for so many years.

However, Hogwarts has not encountered anyone as curious as Voldemort in so many years. The Weasley brothers were curious enough, but they did not have enough strength to deal with the Whomping Willow, so they never discovered the Whomping Willow. The ability to form scars.

Hogwarts has set so many school rules, but let Filch, who cannot do magic, be the administrator. This is an obvious hint. As long as you have the ability not to be caught, you have not violated the school rules.

In fact, if Voldemort is not cruel by nature, he is indeed more adventurous than Gryffindor.

Fortunately, Maple learned the Animagus transformation, otherwise he would have to walk through the tunnel in human form, even though he was still a minor, but he would still have to walk forward hunched over.

It was a long tunnel that might be difficult to walk while bending over, but for Crookshanks and Maple's bat, it was a short journey.

When they reached the tunnel, there was no need to hide anymore. Maple rushed through the air and directly crossed Crookshanks.

The clever Crookshanks also immediately smelled that the bat that suddenly appeared was not a real animal, but also an Animagus.

And the smell of bats was vaguely familiar to Crookshanks.

It was just Maple's move that was clearly aimed at Sirius that made Crookshanks anxious. He dropped the food in his mouth and rushed over at full speed, but he still couldn't catch up.

At the end of the tunnel was a house, a messy, dusty house.The wallpaper had fallen off the walls, there were stains all over the floor, every piece of furniture was broken, as if it had been vandalized, and the windows were all boarded up.

"Everything is petrified! I didn't expect that after running away from Azkaban for more than a year, you didn't even get yourself a wand. Are you really the infamous Black?" Maple said, and used magic to remove it. He cast a restraining spell on Black's mouth, allowing him to speak.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be another person in Hogwarts who learned the Animagus when he was a student." Sirius showed a nostalgic look on his face, seeming to be reminded of his student days and his last Good partner and friend.

Sirius was still so dirty. He hadn't taken care of his appearance and clothes for an unknown amount of time.A mess of dirty, tangled hair hung down to his elbows, like a lunatic in a mental hospital. He had been wandering around for more than a year and had not had a good meal. He was so hungry that he was almost skin and bones.The only bright spot about him is his still bright eyes.

"Sirius Black, should I hand you over to Harry, or send you directly back to the Ministry of Magic? I wonder what the Ministry of Magic will do with you if they catch you again?"

"No!" Blake croaked.

"Are you scared?" Maple smiled sarcastically.

"No, I'm innocent!" Blake said.

"Are you kidding? You killed Harry's parents and your best friend. This is a well-known fact!" Maple snapped.

"I'm not denying that, but that's not the whole truth. I-" Blake said quietly.

"I don't have to listen to your sophistry, I just want you to—"

At this time, Crookshanks rushed in from the door and rushed directly towards the wand in Maple's hand, but before he could fall on Maple, he was bounced away by an invisible barrier.

Maple was faster than Crookshanks, and had cast the silent Iron Curse before Crookshanks could pounce on him.

Black couldn't help but sigh that Maple's magical attainments had reached the point where he could easily pick them up. It was really unimaginable that he was still a student.

After being deflected by the Iron Armor Curse, Crookshanks pounced on him again.

He failed again and again, but Crookshanks pounced again and again.

"That's enough, Crookshanks, why are you defending him like this? He's just a murderer." Maple shouted angrily, "If you don't stop, I'll cast a spell on you."

Crookshanks seemed to understand Maple's words. He no longer offered fearless resistance to Maple, but jumped on Black's body, climbed onto his chest, and blocked Black's heart with his own body.

"Go away, Crookshanks, go away!" Black murmured, trying to get Crookshanks to leave him, but Crookshanks dug his claws deep into Black's robe and would not budge.It turned its ugly face to Maple and looked at him with its big yellow eyes. Maple seemed to feel the pleading in its eyes.

"Crookshanks, you can't help him unless he is - well -" Maple said, her eyes suddenly fixed, and then to Black's surprise, he tore off his left sleeve.

"You don't have the Dark Mark on your arm. Are you not a Death Eater?" Maple said.

"You know Death Eaters?" Black said in surprise.

"I met them after the Quidditch World Cup. They all had a Dark Mark pattern branded on their left arms. Without exception, I believe your words now. You are innocent," Maple said. He lifted Blake's petrifying spell, then sat down and said, "I want to hear your story."

"All Death Eaters have the Dark Mark branded on their left arms?" Black was very surprised when he heard the news, and it was obvious that he didn't know about this situation.

"It's like this..."

"I really didn't expect that Professor Lupine and you are classmates of the same grade. Let me think carefully about how to tell Harry the truth of the matter." Maple said.

. . .

"I'm sorry, Crookshanks, I wronged you. I didn't hurt you just now. I went to the kitchen to get you something delicious. Don't complain to Hermione." Maple hugged Crookshanks. After leaving the Shrieking Shack and coming out of the secret passage, he immediately coaxed Crookshanks with nice words.

"Okay, prepare one for Blake too."
