HP through the autumn

All was very quiet until a notice in the foyer announced that only one week remained before the arrival of representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

For a while, everyone's topic of discussion became the Triwizard Tournament. Even the students in the fifth and seventh grades who were preparing for the exam would chat about the latest news about the Triwizard Tournament during the review break.

"Does Cedric want to sign up?" Qiu asked Laurie, who was sitting in the common room reading a book.

"Yes," Laurie looked at the herbalism treatise wistfully, the quill brushing unconsciously across his face, "he's looking forward to winning honor for Hufflepuff. After all, being chosen as a warrior is something to be proud of." and the Warriors can represent Hogwarts and compete with other schools."

"Aren't you worried about him getting hurt during the game?"

"Of course I'm worried, but isn't it because he's worried that he won't be allowed to participate? It's his decision, and of course I support him." Laurie took it for granted.

"Now I finally understand how a girl like you who is not tender at all is able to charm Cedric."

"Is it my beauty?"

"Do not be silly."

The castle was thoroughly cleaned within a week, and the portraits and armors all looked brand new, which made Qiu couldn't help wondering whether Hogwarts would never have such an event as cleaning without the Triwizard Tournament.

At least during the five years she went to school, the castle has never been so clean, just like the student dormitory after military training, there is no garbage in the trash can, and there is no one on the bed, it is Filch's rule that the shoes should not be stained with dust .

October 10th is still a day to concentrate on studying.

Most people in the class were immersed in the anticipation of the arrival of the student representatives from the other two schools in the evening, and Professor Flitwick had a good temper and gave them a review of what he had learned before.

Qiu wrote furiously in class, expressing her heartache to those around her who the teachers had highlighted but didn't know what to write down.However, she also had to admit that if they all knew to take good notes, her notes would not be sold.This will save her a lot of extra income.

After afternoon classes, the students happily went back to the common room to pack their schoolbags, then gathered in the foyer, lined up and walked out of the castle under the dean's order to wait eagerly.

"I'm so hungry," Cho said.

"Me too," said Laurie.

The moon has come out, and it will be six o'clock soon.

"If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbaton's representatives have arrived." Professor Dumbledore shouted.

"Where is it?" The students around looked around, and Qiu maintained her posture of looking at the moon.

"What are you looking at?" Laurie asked.

"Look up at the starry sky." She replied deeply.

A gigantic creature skimmed across the dark blue sky and landed in front of Hogwarts castle.The powder-blue carriage landed on the ground, and the golden Pegasus turned its fiery red eyes to look around.

Madam Maxime got out of the car, talked to Dumbledore for a few words, and then led the students into the hall.

In silence, everyone continued to wait for Durmstrang's representatives.Qiu looked at the calm black lake from a high place, hoping that there would be a ripple on it, and then she could go back to the warm castle for dinner.

"What are you looking at now?" Laurie asked.

"Overlooking the land."

A large ship emerged from under the Black Lake, a group of people wearing fur cloaks came down, Karkaroff and Dumbledore greeted each other, and the students followed Durmstrang's representative back to the hall .

Representatives of Beauxbatons had already taken their seats at the long Ravenclaw table, and many Ravenclaw students sat near them and watched them curiously.

Qiu and Laurie sat down at a random place, and saw three figures not far away who were still wrapping their heads tightly with scarves.Laurie Nahan said, "Is it that cold?"

"That's because you haven't experienced the sunshine in France." Qiu replied that in a place like the UK where it rains twice a year and once for half a year, only locals would think that this place is suitable for people to live.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and especially distinguished guests," said Headmaster Dumbledore with a smile. "It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that , you will feel comfortable and happy here."

A Beauxbaton girl with a scarf wrapped around her head let out a mocking sneer.

"It's annoying," murmured Laurie. "If she doesn't want to come, don't come."

"It's the first time I've seen someone who can sneer so loudly." Cho swore the sneer could pass across a long table to Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

After the dinner began, the Beauxbaton girls finally took off their scarves. Fleur's waterfall-like silver hair and beautiful face attracted the attention of all Ravenclaw students around.

"She's so beautiful," Cho said as she ate her dinner. "I can eat twice as much with her."

Laurie was obviously still dissatisfied with Fleur's sneer and did not answer.

At this moment Fleur started walking towards the Gryffindor table.

Fleur said something to them, and Ron blushed all of a sudden.

Instead, Harry returned to the girl's question and handed her a plate of food.

As Fleur returned to the Ravenclaw table, Ron was still fascinated by her back.

"If Seid acts like Weasley when he sees that girl," said Laurie, "I'll give him a good lesson."

"That's just human nature," Cho said. "I want to stare at her that way, too."

"Potter did well." Laurie continued to comment.

"My vision has always been good." She gave Harry a satisfied smile as he looked over, which made him a little puzzled.

The morning after Dumbledore announced the selection method for the Triwizard Tournament, everyone got up early to see who would put their names in.

"Did you know that Fawcett has been sent to the medical wing?" Marietta said to Cho, who was eating next to her. "Her roommate sent her there, it seems to be because of age-aging drugs."

"Oops," Qiu said, "I have a hunch Madam Pomfrey will be very busy today, and I hope she doesn't arrange too much work for me today."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan burst into the hall in great excitement, and as everyone in the foyer watched, Fred crossed the line.For a split second, everyone thought he had succeeded, and George jumped in after him, and then the two of them were thrown out together, with a pop, and they grew identical white beards.

Twins look alike even then.

"I warned you," said Dumbledore cheerfully, before suggesting that the two of them go to Madam Pomfrey.

When Cho arrived at the hospital wing with the camera, Lee Jordan had left, and only Fred, George, Fawcett, and a boy he didn't know were lying in it.

All four had long white beards growing from their chins.

"Hello, Cho." The Weasley twins greeted her neatly.

"Hello, old Weasleys."

She came to their hospital bed and looked at it carefully for a while, then whispered to them: "Dumbledore is right, you two have better beards."

Fred or George raised an eyebrow triumphantly.

"Now, while Madam Pomfrey is away," she said, "let's have a quick fight and take a picture."

"Oh Cho!" one of them yelled in pain, "We really shouldn't have lent you Colin's camera."

"Can we charge a fee?" asked another. "Our appearance fee is very expensive."

"No, because I will take care of you in the medical wing later, and this will be considered as a reward." She said, taking out two pink hair ties that she had secretly brought over.

"Now let's do the styling," she said, tying bows in each of their beards.

"I regret drinking aging pills now, bro."

"Me too."

Madam Pomfrey walked in at this time, she saw Brother Weasley's beard froze, and then said to her with a serious face: "You did a good job, that's how it should be, let them remember not to mess around Drink the potion."

Under Madam Pomfrey's admiring gaze and Fred George's wailing, Qiu took a photo of the two of them and promised to give Madam Pomfrey one.

Everyone is distracted at a Halloween dinner, eager to finish their plates and find out who the real warrior is.

Dumbledore extinguished more than half of the lights, making the hall appear flickering.The flames in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned red, a tongue of flame shot into the sky, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out.

"The champion of Durmstrang—is Viktor Krum."

Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium.

"The champion of Beauxbatons—is Fleur Delacour."

Fleur walked lightly between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.

"Why should it be her?" complained Laurie.

The Goblet of Fire turned red again, and Dumbledore drew a third parchment from the tongue of flames: "Hero of Hogwarts, it is Cedric Diggory!"

"It's really Seid, I knew he would do it!" Laurie said excitedly below.

Cedric smiled brightly and walked towards the room where the warrior should be, and took the time to wave to Laurie.

When the uproar finally subsided, Dumbledore announced cheerfully and loudly, "Now our three warriors have been chosen..."

He was talking, and suddenly stopped.

Sparks burst out from the Goblet of Fire, and a tongue of flame shot into the air again.

Qiu couldn't help holding his breath.

After a long silence, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read the name on it aloud: "Harry Potter!"

The author has something to say:

Ginkgo leaves are falling like gold

It's really hard for me to decide when to update, so I decided to release it at the latest time after I finished writing, either at 9:00 in the morning or at 19:20 in the evening
