[HP] This Evil

Senior Gemma always said that a pet's personality would be very similar to its owner, and Catherine felt that she was right.For example, Hades, Draco's owl, is just as unreasonable as its owner.

Every time Hades came to Ferrara Manor to deliver a letter, he would chase Catherine and peck at her hair until she promised to peel it a handful of pine nuts.Not only that, but after Hades finished eating the pine nuts, he would stare straight at Catherine and write a reply, unless he threw it out directly, otherwise it would never leave.

That day, Catherine was leaning on the bed and flipping through a book "Advanced Quidditch Guide". Hades came again. They all ran away.

Catherine resignedly peeled a handful of pine nuts for it before reading Draco's letter.

Dear Cathy:

Good day.

I have a secret to tell you!My dad told me that there will be a Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts this year, and students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be there.Each college will select a player to participate in the competition, and the winner will receive the supreme glory.Hogwarts will also hold a Christmas dinner at Christmas, so remember to prepare your evening dress.

— Draco Malfoy

Triwizard Tournament?Catherine read about it in A Brief History of Wizardry.This is a competition to promote cooperation and exchanges among European magic schools. It is held every five years. Most of the winners are from Durmstrang. They once won the championship from 1620 to 1650.However, Durmstrang's players also caused a lot of damage during the competition, which caused the organizer's school a bit of a headache.For example, in the competition hosted by Beauxbaton in 1635, a Durmstrang player named Felix destroyed a magic garden of Beauxbaton in the first part of the competition. It took the professor of science a full month to restore the garden to its original state.

In 1760, Durmstrang became the organizer of the "Triwizard Tournament". The game was very dangerous. One of the three players died and two were seriously injured. The parents of the students were very angry.After a whole month of discussion, the Ministry of Magic finally decided to cancel the Tournament, and it is really strange that it has resumed this year.

In the afternoon, the Greengrass owl also came.Rarely, Daphne did not ask Catherine for a copy of her homework, but also mentioned the "Triwizard Tournament" in the letter, and repeatedly emphasized the matter of dresses and waltzes.

Catherine's nightmare continued. In this dream, besides the hoarse voice and a slippery snake, there was also a handsome man. talking about something.

On September [-]st, Catherine and Draco met at platform nine and three-quarters as usual. Daphne, Pansy and Blaise came earlier and had already reserved seats for them on the bus.

"You two are taking too long, the car is about to start," Pansy said.

"It's not because those first graders have been blocking the train door to say goodbye to their families and go to school. It's like saying goodbye to life and death." Catherine complained. As soon as she sat down, the car drove away. The juniors who found their place were running back and forth, poking around in each private room.A short kid poked his head into their box when Draco glared him away.

"You all know about the Triwizard Tournament, right?" Daphne asked, her tone still as excited as in the letter.

"Understood. You and Draco have written to us several times over the summer to tell us about this," Pansy replied. "I even have my dress ready."

"I'm ready too. But I'm not very satisfied with the design of the skirt." Daphne said, she leaned forward a bit, more excited, "I think my skirt is too big."

"Go back and show us. We can make some changes. It's still early for Christmas," Catherine said, and Pansy nodded in agreement.Kathleen had a very thick notebook filled with articles about future trends from the eighth edition of the Daily Prophet.

"The big skirt is also good. Didn't there have been several dresses with big skirts posted on "Wind of the Witch" this March? The one on Freya Irene is very good-looking, except for the color." Pan Xi seriously recalled with.

"Eileen's dress has a beautiful neckline, but it's red, it looks like a Gryffindor." Daphne sighed.

"Red is a little eye-catching. I think it will look better if it is changed to green." Catherine said that she also likes the design of the skirt, but it is a pity that the color is wrong.

"Or black, or white," Pansy added.

Blaise and Draco remained silent, they couldn't understand what the girls were discussing, and Blaise tried to intervene several times, but failed.

The train was rumbling, passing through a dark forest and then across a sparkling lake. When it was completely dark, the students finally arrived at the station.Probably due to the influence of the prevailing westerly wind, the weather in the UK is as fickle as Boggart’s. In the morning, it was still cloudless, but in the evening, it began to rain lightly. The first graders put on their school gowns and hats , noisily followed Hagrid into the boat across the lake.Students of other ages walked on the slightly muddy path to find the carriage.

At the opening ceremony, Principal Dumbledore announced the cancellation of this year's Quidditch match, and the students complained in disappointment, especially Gryffindor, who lost the match last year and had been preparing for a comeback this year.But then the principal told everyone that the "Triwizard Tournament" will be held this year, and students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will come to Hogwarts to study and live for a period of time. Excited.

The house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen have practiced their cooking skills recently in order to welcome the students from these two foreign schools. Therefore, French-style fresh herb cream vegetable soup and squab appeared on the table of this year’s opening ceremony. Minced meat tart and very thinly sliced ​​German ham.However, Hogwarts students are not used to French thick soup, so the vegetable soup in the silver soup bowl is always full.

While the students were tasting German ham and discussing where Durmstrang was, a scary-looking man appeared.Dragging a silver prosthetic leg and leaning on a cane, he limped in from the door of the auditorium.There are several scars left by black magic on his face, and the left eyeball is gone, replaced by a glass eyeball that can rotate 360 ​​degrees without dead ends.The students were chattering, and the two timid first-year girls didn't even dare to look up at him.

"It's Mad-Eye Moody. He's an Auror, very eccentric," Daphne whispered to Pansy and Catherine.

"It's great to meet you, Alastor." Dumbledore stood up enthusiastically.

"My pleasure, Albus," said Mad-Eye Moody gruffly, not rushing towards Dumbledore, but standing in the middle of the Great Hall and looking up and down with his fake eyes. s student.

Catherine had an illusion, she always felt that Moody paid special attention to the Gryffindor table, which was fine, after all, the famous Harry Potter was there.But after watching Potter, he seemed to turn his attention to Slytherin again, which made several Slytherin students more or less uncomfortable.

Before the mysterious man fell, Mad-Eye Moody arrested and tried many Death Eaters.This includes Theodore Nott's father and Pansy's uncle, Lucius Malfoy, who was supposed to be tried, but declared he was persecuted as soon as You-Know-Who was down, and kindly After visiting several members of the Ministry of Magic, the matter of Malfoy's trial was finally settled.

"Please let me introduce to you this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Alastor Moody." Dumbledore stood on the teacher's bench and said loudly, and Moody then walked to the teacher's long table with his hand in his hand. It also held a flat silver decanter.

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is really getting weirder and weirder." The students whispered.

After Moody took his seat at the teacher's table, the students resumed their sumptuous dinner.The pot of French vegetable soup ended up in the stomachs of Crabbe and Goyle. They have always had a very wide selection of food standards, except for canned herring, they hardly refuse any food.German ham, sliced ​​thinner than paper, is very popular, and the students share it out in no time.

"I heard you took the Muggle Studies class this year? Has your brain been stepped on by a troll?" Pansy asked Catherine while enjoying a piece of cream cake.

"I just want to know why the number of Muggles is so large. They don't have magic, and they don't have powerful power like werewolves or vampires. According to the law of survival of the fittest, they should have been extinct long ago, right?" Catherine explained, she I have long been used to Pansy's poisonous tongue.

"King's Cross Station is full of Muggles every year, it's so annoying." Daphne complained, and then she said, "My sister Astoria also took this course this year, she has always been interested in Muggles, how can I Advise her not to listen."

"Astoria is so good-natured, I saw her go to the library with Mary Johnson and Evelyn Burke last term," Pansy said.

"I know that she has a good relationship with Ravenclaws. I have persuaded her many times to stay away from Johnson, but she won't listen." Daphne was a little worried, Astoria came from a pure-blood family , who also studied in Slytherin College, but always has close contacts with the bitch wizards.Hufflepuff students also dubbed her "Remedios" last year. (Remedios: It means beauty. Remedios in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is a very beautiful girl.)

The opening dinner always takes a long time, even if Peeves comes in to make trouble in the middle, it can't affect the students' interest in chatting. They haven't seen each other for more than a month, and everyone is very happy, because this is Hogwarts, there are friends and tasty food.What's more, today the bloody Baron was wandering around the Slytherin table very loyally, so Peeves didn't dare to come over.
