[HP]Blue Soul

The rest of the time was no different, except that Moody's reputation spread among the crowd, like "ex-Aurors deserve it", "that's how they do it", etc., because he used the three must-sees in class. Forgiveness spells to teach students.

"You actually allowed Moody to use the Imperius Curse on students in class?" Qiubai couldn't understand, so she came to Dumbledore's office.

"No, I didn't allow it. Moody told me before that he would teach the students the Unforgivable Curse. His reasons are very good. Only when students understand it can they learn to resist." Dumbledore said, "But I didn't expect him to be Let the students experience it for themselves.”

"Oh, Dumbledore, we're not sure if he's Moody yet," Qiubai said, frowning.

"Have you found any evidence?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, I don't know Moody well enough. What about you? It stands to reason that you should know Moody better." Qiubai said.

"All I can say is, if he wasn't Moody, he's done a great job," said Dumbledore, pursing his lips.

"A very clever pretender... Voldemort's ultimate goal must be to be resurrected through the Triwizard Tournament, so the people who sneak in are not Moody or others, and they will try their best to make Harry a Hogwarts Warrior." Qiubai said.

"That's why I insist on seventeen..." said Dumbledore.

"Then Severus and I will watch over the registration."

"Then please."

In the anticipation of everyone, the announcement about the Triwizard Tournament was posted on the bulletin board. Qiubai and they naturally knew a week before the students that representatives of Beauxbaton and Durmstrang will be held on Friday, October 10th. Arrived at six in the evening.

For this reason, the afternoon class had to end half an hour earlier, and Qiubai and Hagrid shortened some teaching content for this reason.Severus also had a class, which happened to be for Harry and the others. Because of Qiubai, Harry had already attached more importance to this class than Defense Against the Dark Arts, which he liked.

On the night of October 10th, Qiubai stayed up late with some professors just to decorate the auditorium.Qiubai and Professor Flitwick hung four huge silk banners on the wall.Each silk is printed with a representative animal of each school.And behind the professor's desk, hung the largest banner, which was the Hogwarts school logo, which Qiubai had seen on the envelope of the admission letter.

On October 10th, the students were overly looking forward to and joyful, and there were many gaps in the classroom.A boy in Care of Fantastic Beasts almost had his hair set ablaze by Ash Snake's fire.

When the bell rang from the castle not far away, all the children in class rushed back excitedly, only Qiubai and Hagrid were left beside a pile of ashes, and there were a few fire ash swimming around in the ashes snake.Qiubai put the Fire Ash Snake into the creature ring so that he could continue to use it in the next lesson, and waved his hand again, melting the ashes into the whirlpool.

"Come on, Hagrid, it's time," Qiubai said.

Qiubai slipped back to the cellar with the Disillusionment Charm. Severus was not in the office, so she turned around and went to the Potions classroom next door.In the empty classroom, only a cauldron in the corner was still steaming, and Harry was stirring solemnly, frowning.Across from him, Severus stared down at the potion in the cauldron without saying a word.

Compared with the noise in other parts of the castle, the potions classroom was eerily silent, and the gurgling in the cauldron was amplified, which had a strange meaning.

Qiubai quietly stepped forward and pulled La Severus's clothes, and Severus finally said, "Potter, it's time, you should go and change."

"I..." Harry stopped stirring, the liquid in the cauldron was not what he wanted, and he pulled out his wand in frustration to clean up the liquid in the cauldron, "Then I will Go away, Professor."

Harry stuffed the clean cauldron into his schoolbag and left the Potions classroom with his head down.When the classroom door was closed, Qiubai wrapped her arms around Severus' waist from behind, "How is Harry doing?"

"Not like his father," Severus said.

"You finally found out?" Qiubai said amusedly, she changed her position and came in front of Severus, "It's not too late now. Sev, we have to meet the representatives of the other two schools. Let me Let's see if you need to clean up your image, so you don't give the Slytherin students a bad job."

"It's been fine," Severus said.

Since Qiubai was by his side, the previous image of Severus had gradually changed.Some people know the cold and warm, and they are always with him day and night. He is no longer the gloomy and greasy old bat in the mouth of the students.But what they should be afraid of is still afraid. The image of their Potions Professor has changed, but the venom is still spraying.

"It's really not bad." Qiubai stroked Severus' hair, which was moderately greasy, "Then let's go first."

They came to the foyer quietly, and the students were already standing in front of the castle.Qiubai and Severus stood in the last row of teachers, and Professor McGonagall kept looking at the tops of the students' heads, always afraid that someone would put on a fancy headdress again.

It was a cold, fresh evening, night was falling, and the front was gradually shrouded in darkness, but was dismembered by a round of white, translucent moon.The cold is slowly seeping into the crowd, some of the children have already started rubbing their arms.

Qiubai put a warm spell on these students calmly, and she heard a sixth grade student say, "Suddenly it's not cold anymore..."

Standing in the middle of the teachers' line, Dumbledore turned his head and gave Qiubai a wink. Then he shouted, "Ah! Beauxbatons' representatives have arrived, if I'm not mistaken!"

"Where?" many students asked eagerly, looking in different directions.

"There!" a sixth-grader shouted, pointing to the sky above the Forbidden Forest.

From the sky, a huge monster gradually flew over, Qiu Bai's bright eyes, it was a huge powder blue carriage, which was pulled into the air by twelve winged horses.They were all silver-maned horses, each about the size of an elephant.

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an extremely fast speed. The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly backed away.With an earth-shattering bang, those horseshoes fell to the ground with a bang, and each of them was as big as a vegetable plate.In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on the huge wheels, and at the same time the golden horses shook their huge heads, and their big fiery red eyes rolled around.

On the doors of the carriage were Beauxbatons' coat of arms - two golden crossed wands with three stars emerging from each.The door opened, and a boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent over, fumbled for something on the floor of the carriage, and opened a golden spiral staircase.

He jumped back respectfully, and a woman the size of Hagrid stepped down.She looked glistening in the light spilling from the foyer.

Unlike Hagrid, she had a very handsome olive face, a pair of big black watery eyes, and a very pointed nose.Her hair was pulled back in a shiny bun at the base of her neck.She was wrapped from head to toe in black satin, and at her neck and thick fingers gleamed with many rich opals.

Despite her size, she was a very beautiful and elegant woman.

Dumbledore led the applause, and Severus whispered, "Madame Maxime, Headmaster of Beauxbatons."

Madame Maxime smiled gracefully, stretched out a gleaming hand, and walked towards Dumbledore.Although Dumbledore was also tall, he barely stooped to kiss the hand. "Dear Madame Maxime," he said, "welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore," Madame Maxime said in a low voice, "I hope you are well."

"Very well, thank you," said Dumbledore.

"My student," Madame Maxime said, waving her huge hand nonchalantly behind her.Behind her were about twelve or thirteen male and female students, all about eighteen or nineteen years old, all trembling slightly.

This was not surprising, Beauxbaton's students didn't wear cloaks, only delicate silk, which couldn't resist the cold at all.Several students covered their heads with scarves or hoods.They looked at the Hogwarts castle with alert eyes.

"Is Karkaroff here?" Madame Maxime asked.

"He will come any moment," said Dumbledore. "Would you rather wait here to meet him, or go in first to warm yourself?"

"Let's keep warm," said Madame Maxime, "but those horses—"

"Our Protection of Magical Creatures teacher will be happy to take care of them," said Dumbledore. "He has something to do at the moment. Of course, our teaching assistants will also help, won't they, Miss Shire."

"I'm so happy." Qiubai said.

Madam Maxim looked at Qiubai with some hesitation, "My steeds need - um - someone with great strength to take care of them," she said, "They have a strong temper..."

"I assure you, Hagrid and Charles are perfectly capable of doing this." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Very good," Madame Maxime bowed slightly, "I hope that Miss Shire will remember to feed these horses with single malt whiskey."

"I will remember." Qiubai also bowed to Madam Maxim.

Mrs. Maxim got the answer she wanted, and turned her head to the students behind her and said, "Come on." The Hogwarts students made way for them, and they walked up the stone steps. Mr. McGonagall Lead them into the hall.

After a while, when the students were looking at the sky thinking that another school would come from the sky, a very loud and strange sound came to them from the darkness: a suppressed rumbling and sucking sound , like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the river bed...

"In the lake!" Lee Jordan yelled, pointing to the lake. "Look at that lake!"

A great whirlpool gradually appeared on the dark water, and a magnificent ship rose out of the water, shining brightly in the moonlight.The boat looks weird, it looks like a skeleton.

A moment later, the anchor was thrown into the shallow water, the boards were brought up to the shore, and the men in the boat came down.They were big, and wore a kind of fur cloak, and the leader was even more special, a silvery white silky fur, the same as his hair.

Severus snorted disapprovingly as they walked into the light.

"Acquaintance?" Qiu Bai asked softly.

"He doesn't deserve it," Severus said through gritted teeth.

It was obvious that the man was not popular with Severus, and his enthusiasm seemed particularly hypocritical.He called to Dumbledore, "Dumbledore! How are you, my dear old chap?" His hair was short and his goatee did not hide his thin chin.The smile on his face didn't reach his eyes, and there was indifference everywhere.

"Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

"Dear old fellow Hogwarts," he said, looking up at the castle, "it's good, it's good to be here... Viktor, come here and get warm... You don't mind, Dumbledore ? Viktor has a bit of a cold..."

Karkaroff motioned for one of his students to step forward.Qiubai felt that he looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, the restless students remembered who it was, Viktor Krum, the Bulgarian team's Seeker in the Quidditch World Cup.

"He's still a student?" Qiu Bai was a little surprised.

Severus snorted incredulously, his eyes cast heavily on Karkaroff.Or it wasn't just him, Moody's ghastly eyes stared at Karkaroff from the corner too.

Dumbledore led the students of Karkaroff and Durmstrang to the Great Hall, followed by the students of Hogwarts and the teachers at the end.

The students of Beauxbatons had already sat at the long table of Ravenclaw, and the students of Durmstrang hesitated for a while and sat at the long table of Slytherin.Krum sat beside Draco, and Draco, who hadn't smiled for a long time, finally showed a slight smile because of the idol's approach.

After all the students entered the auditorium and took their seats, Qiu Baicai walked to the teacher's seat with other teachers.Madame Maxime and Karkaroff took their seats one after another, and Dumbledore began to make a welcome speech.

Afterwards, there was a banquet. In order to entertain the guests, the house elves thoughtfully prepared dishes from their own country.Qiubai smacked his lips looking at the French fish soup in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I should teach them how to cook Chinese cuisine."

Twenty minutes after the banquet started, Hagrid slipped in through the side door and said softly to Qiubai, "Come and help me."

"Okay." Qiubai smiled at Severus before going out the side door with Hagrid.

It wasn't until they walked out of the auditorium that Hagrid resumed his loud voice, "Oh, Charles, those horses are really strong. Look, my hands are scratched. I think you can help me."

The golden giant horse was still where they landed, stomping its hooves anxiously, and its big fiery eyes seemed to burst into flames. "Got to take them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where I set up a makeshift stable," Hagrid explained.

"Hello..." Qiubai said in his unproficient French, "We...will take you...to eat..." He uttered each word, and Qiubai struggled to think about the French words he had seen before.

[Natural affinity! 】One of the horses neighed loudly.

"Yes!" Qiubai said.

The identity of a nature-friendly person is always very useful among magical creatures. These horses obediently pulled the carriage and followed Qiubai and Hagrid to the direction of Hagrid's hut.Hagrid was amazed: "It's amazing, you seem to understand what they mean."

The innocent Hagrid has never doubted Qiubai's identity so far.He always thought Qiubai was the one Dumbledore had sent to help him.Since Qiubai discussed the course with him and helped him in class, he has become more confident. This course is loved by more and more students!

He stopped the huge powder-blue carriage two hundred yards away from the main entrance of Hagrid's hut, untied the rope, and brought several large horses to the temporary stable next to it.Qiubai's strength was of great use here, and Hagrid even wanted to compete with Qiubai in arm wrestling.

"Give them some single malt whiskey, can you find it?" Qiubai asked.

"Some, some. I've prepared a lot for me to get them." Hagrid hurried back to his hut, and brought out a large barrel from it. Qiubai could smell the aroma of wine from a long distance away.The horses were also excited and restless.

"Very fragrant." Qiubai helped Hagrid put the wine barrel on the ground, and Qiubai used transfiguration to transform into several large bowls, and divided the wine into them.

"Indeed, I almost couldn't resist stealing it, hahahaha." Hagrid laughed, the scene in front of him almost made Qiu Bai think that he had accidentally entered the kingdom of giants.

After getting the horses settled, Qiubai said to Hagrid, "Dumbledore will give me a task in the next few days. It's up to you to take care of them, but I'll come and see when I have time."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Hagrid agreed.

Back in the auditorium again, the food on the table had disappeared without a trace, and a familiar but unexpected person on the chair on Dumbledore's right caught Qiubai's attention.

Sirius and Lucius sat side by side on the right side of Dumbledore. Sirius's free and easy sitting posture formed a sharp contrast with Lucius, but their different forms of beauty made the female students hold their hearts and let out a silly smile.As for the male students, most of their eyes were on the Ravenclaw table.

There was a girl who was so beautiful that she was shining. She was wearing Beauxbaton's school uniform. She had long silver hair like a waterfall, a pair of big blue eyes, and a mouthful of white and neat teeth.Except for the lack of pointy ears, she resembled the royal family of elves from Raven Forest.

"Like Stella?" Severus said softly.

"Yes, very similar," Qiubai murmured, and Severus took her hand and passed a little of his warmth to her, "She's more like an elf royal family than me, she is The offspring of Veela?"

"Obviously..." Severus glanced at the enthralled boys.

The process of the scene has come to the end, and Dumbledore is still talking in front, "In order to prevent students who are underage from being tempted," Dumbledore said, "After the goblet is placed in the hall, I will put it on it. Draw an age line around it. No one under the age of seventeen can cross that line."

Next to him was a large, rough-cut wooden goblet, with a blue-white flame emitting from it, and under the cup was an old, large wooden box inlaid with jewels.

"Finally, I would like to remind every student who is going to participate in the campaign to pay attention that this competition is not a child's play, and don't participate rashly. Once the Warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must stick to the game to the end. throwing your name into the cup, in fact, forms a magical contract that must be kept. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. So please think twice and find out that you really want to participate in the game, Put the name in the glass again. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night everyone."

"Why did Sirius come?" Qiubai whispered.

"The power of money," Severus said.

"Change in the board of directors? Sponsorship?" Qiu Bai understood.

"Yes, that's right." Sirius stood in front of Qiubai, "I am now the director of Hogwarts, and I must pay for them to renovate the Quidditch pitch at that time."

"Is this the big surprise you mentioned?" Qiu Bai asked.

"Of course not, your big surprise is at Moonface. He will come to watch the game, and he will tell you himself when the time comes," Sirius said.

"Let me know?" Qiu Bai moved forward with his chin propped up.

"Hmph, it's Remus giving you...and him..." Sirius pointed at Severus with his chin, "It's none of my business for you guys. I have no right to disclose it."

"Me?" Severus rolled his eyelids.

"God knows." Sirius turned around and walked towards Gryffindor's office, "I'm going first, I'm going to talk to Harry."

"It's for us..." Qiu Bai couldn't figure it out, "Forget it, we will know when the time comes. Do we have to watch here tonight?"

"Probably..." Severus glanced at Karkaroff who was leading the students away.

"Ah, prepare more refreshments, Sev. I think that person will definitely choose in the dead of night." Qiubai stood up slowly, she was a little thirsty, and she hadn't eaten well.So she wanted to go to the kitchen to fill up the five internal organs first.

"You go and get something to eat, and I'll get the refreshing potion." Severus said softly.

"It's so sweet, if it's just the two of us, I'll definitely kiss you." Qiubai said with a light smile, and left through the side door.Severus followed after a while, back to his own office.

The author has something to say:

Severus: Oh, the annoying little goblin!

Sirius: Damn, can I get him a gift?

Remus: I think Severus will like this gift, mainly because it is also good for me, hehehe
