A Hogwarts dissertation guide

The relationship between Dumbledore and Rita is definitely not as simple as everyone thinks: Rita criticized Dumbledore in the newspaper, describing him as a rigid old madman or an old antique who has completely lost his mind. Dumbledore will be angry about this, and will have bad feelings towards Rita because of it...

In fact, this is not the case.

In reality, they have maintained a good relationship and even reached a certain tacit understanding.Every time Dumbledore wanted to achieve a certain goal of his own or made preparations in advance with his extraordinary perspective on the overall situation, there would always be someone who stood up to obstruct it because of personal interests.

Of course, Dumbledore always used his methods to achieve his goals.

Rita's role is to reduce the vigilance of the dark wizards lurking in the dark as much as possible, so that the magical world can develop in the direction Dumbledore hopes.

Rita was also able to take advantage of the situation for her own benefit.

It is true that the two are reciprocal.

Hermione walked out of the cubicle holding her huge wand. Madame Maxime and Karkaroff's pupils dilated uncontrollably when they saw the wand.

"What is that?" Karkaroff pointed at the huge wand in surprise.

"Um, it's my wand," Hermione said timidly.

"Well, it looks really unique." Mrs. Maxim glanced at Edward and almost understood it in an instant, "It looks like a really good wand. Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can feel the surging power on it. magic."

"But this is against the rules." Karkaroff said angrily. "According to the charter, the warrior cannot ask the teacher for help, let alone such an exaggerated magic item. This is definitely against the rules. The warrior can only Use their own wand."

"Oh, I think it's Miss Granger's wand, isn't it?" Dumbledore said, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, of course, I can guarantee with my many years of career as a writer that this is definitely Miss Granger's wand," Rita said quickly, and she moved closer to Hermione, "I have just inquired about the ins and outs. , this is Miss Granger’s wand, but because it was inconvenient to use in Hogwarts, she switched to a portable wand produced by Ollivander.”

"Is that so?" Karkaroff asked suspiciously, his brows knitted together.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Ollivander. This is definitely a very standard wand, but it's just a little bit bigger." Rita said without flinching, not having any inconvenience because she was facing the head of the school. of timidity.

"Okay, let Ollivander take a look. I will also ask Mr. Grigovitch. He is a German wand master and is also an authority in this regard." Karkaroff realized that no one She was on his side, so she simply expressed her position and then retreated to her position.

He was vaguely aware that Edward Lumpo's identity was not simple, but he did not have the energy to investigate for the moment because he was trying to figure out what the first event of the competition was, in order to give Krum an advantage in the competition. .

They each found a place to sit or stand. The three principals sat on chairs with Crouch, Ludo, and Edward. Behind them were four warriors.Rita Skeeter found a corner and sat down. She took out the quill and parchment from her handbag and spread them on her knees, ready to record at any time.

"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander." Dumbledore said to the warriors after sitting down on the referee's bench. "He will check your wands to make sure they are in good condition before the game."

An old wizard with two big light-colored eyes walked into the room carrying a toolbox. He was Ollivander, the largest arms manufacturer and seller in the UK. For wizards, wands are the biggest arms. , isn’t it?

"Miss Delacour, you come first, okay?" Even Ollivander could not avoid Fleur's charm, and he was the first to invite Fleur.

Fleur walked lightly to Mr. Ollivander and handed him her wand.

"Um……"

He rotated the wand on the tips of his slender fingers like a baton, and the wand sprayed out many pink and gold sparks. Then he brought the wand close to his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"That's right," he whispered, "nine and a half inches...very flexible...made of maple...and contains...oh, my God..."

"It contains a Veela hair," Fleur said, stroking her hair. "It's my grandma's hair."

"Yes," Ollivander said, "Yes, of course, I have never used Veela hair myself. I think wands made of Veela hair are too sensitive and willful... But, everyone has it. Your own hobby, since it suits you..."

Ollivander ran his finger across the wand, apparently checking it for scratches and bruises.Then he whispered: "Orchids are blooming!" A bouquet of flowers bloomed on the head of the wand.

"Very good, very good, in good condition." Ollivander said, gathering the flowers and handing them to Fleur along with the wand, "Mr. Krum, it's your turn."

Fleur returned to her seat with light steps, and when she passed by Krum, she smiled brightly at him.

But Krum's face remained gloomy, without any change.He walked up to Mr. Ollivander, thrust his wand into him, and stood frowning, with his hands in the pockets of his robes.

"Well," said Ollivander, "if I'm not mistaken—"

boom!

The door was pushed open, and a timid little girl stood at the door. She was holding a schoolbag in her hand. Harry recognized it at a glance as the schoolbag he had left in the underground classroom.

"Miss Parkinson?" Dumbledore cast his gaze over and was just stunned for a moment before he quickly called out her name.

"Professor Dumbledore, this is... Harry's schoolbag. Professor Snape asked me to give it to him." Pansy said timidly as she stood at the door, obviously startled by the scene in the room.

"Oh, thank you, Miss Parkinson. I'm afraid Potions class will be over when you go back. Maybe you can go directly to the Great Hall to wait for dinner." Dumbledore said with a smile and winked at Harry. .

"The taste of youth." Madame Maxime covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. Her voice was so soft that only Edward beside her heard it.

Yes, they could easily see that Pansy was lying. Maybe she came out of the Potions classroom and really came to give away the schoolbag, but it was definitely not what Snape meant. She probably gave it on her own initiative. Came here.

After Harry took the schoolbag and returned to his original position, he was still a little shy, but Pansy stood next to Rita generously.

"Professor, can I watch from here?"

"Of course, Miss Parkinson, I'm sure it will be fun."
