Sword and Magic and Taxi

After the Goblet of Fire was sent away, it was still a topic everyone talked about: Who can represent Hogwarts, and who can win the final victory? The British team's devastating performance in the qualifying rounds of the Quidditch World Cup, especially their 250-0 victory over Germany, aroused everyone's confidence. Not many people could calm down and study hard. Even Zhao Mai had to go to the classroom less often and work more in the potion store.

By March 7, 1919, taxis finally regained their ability to travel around the world. Because everyone already has a way to live forever, Zhao Mai is not very anxious about traveling to other worlds immediately, and is still busy preparing for the New Era Young Wizards Competition. Dumbledore revealed that Atlantis is a city in the starry sky and floating on the water. There is magical magic and knowledge there. It was the former residence of the ancient gods. It would be a blessing to be able to go there. . After Dumbledore said this, Zhao Mai naturally became very interested. World of Origin: Although Alda is very good, Zhao Mai plans to set off for Atlantis only after completing the journey.

But things often don't develop as expected. As soon as the list of the New Era Young Wizards Competition was announced, everyone was shocked. A total of three young wizards were selected for Hogwarts, including Barbara Flamel, but not Zhao Mai. Dumbledore found this very strange and immediately went to question the Athletics Committee.

The selection criteria for the Goblet of Fire are based on magical knowledge and magical skills. In both aspects, Mike is the best student at Hogwarts! His voice was calm and loud, and the wooden door of the Ministry of Magic Athletics Committee could not block the sound. spread out and echoed down the hallways. I participated in the magical transformation of the Goblet of Fire. There can be no problems with the Goblet of Fire, so the competition committee is the one who has the problem!

Professor Dumbledore, I assure you that the committee is absolutely fair and impartial. Commissioner Malamus of the Ministry of Magic kept wiping sweat with a hand towel: The three British participants, Barbara Flamel is French , Ross is a black man, and Jadine Sharma is from colonial India. Please believe us, we have not tampered with this list, otherwise it would never look like this.

These three people are all excellent students, but only Mike participating is the best choice. Dumbledore also felt something was wrong when he saw the list. There were too many strange names. What do you think of them? They all have a weird taste. If there must be students from Hogwarts competing, then Mike is the safest and most capable of protecting students and avoiding accidents. Although this would be unfair to a student who had already been allowed to participate, Dumbledore still believed that safety and security should come first.

The list has been finalized and cannot be changed. Atlantis is already preparing to receive the contestants. It's too late to say anything else. Malamus continued to wipe his sweat: Dumbledore, you know that in front of me Is there something written on this piece of paper? This is my resignation. Because there are now three players representing Britain, someone has to take this responsibility. And I suggest that you serve as a committee member after me, so that you can Can take better care of the three students at Hogwarts.

Me? No, Principal Dippet should be the one. Dumbledore swore not to take the path of politics and power, so he immediately declined.

Principal Dippet, too. Malamus stood up, threw away the soaked handkerchief in his hand, straightened his collar, swallowed, and walked out with his head held high. There will be a storm waiting for him at the Ministry of Magic, and there will be many battles ahead.

In Hogsmeade Village, Barbara raised her head from time to time, looked at Zhao Mai, and pursed her lips without speaking.

Ask if you have anything. Zhao Mai frowned. He is studying a book called Analysis of Spells, and every time Barbara stares at him, it will touch his perception of the surrounding environment, affecting his reading to a certain extent.

Did you really sign up?

I've said it countless times. I did put my name in. Professor Dumbledore can vouch for me. Zhao Mai continued without raising his head: I don't have to go to class. I went in advance. It's the first time. One put the name in and then left, so you didn't see me.

But...but, I didn't write my name. What I threw in was also your name. Barbara lay on the table, resting her arms, shaking her head from side to side: Who wrote my name? What? Who is so boring? And why were you not selected?

How do I know this? Zhao Mai sighed. Don't think about it if it's already happened. I'll give you everything I prepared. I wish you safety and happiness in Atlantis.

Barbara sat up straight and said with a smile: You have prepared something for me? You are so considerate!

Mainly various potions, as well as some research notes and maps that may be useful. I doubt the accuracy of these maps. Most of the information about Atlantis is guesswork and estimation. Zhao Mai pointed out Pointing to the table next to Barbara, he said to her: Everything is put inside, just take it with you when you leave. I think you should contact your grandfather as soon as possible and ask him for guidance and help instead of sitting here I'm in a daze here.

Barbara chuckled, swept away the haze in her heart, and opened the table happily. Hey, why are there two bags?

The other one is for Diana Prince, who is also a contestant. Zhao Mai shook his head, really not understanding what the selection criteria for the Goblet of Fire were. Barbara, remember, if you are in danger, go to Diana for help. Listen to her and never take risks like in the Forbidden Forest.

Oh... Barbara rubbed her nose, picked up both bags and put them on her body: How about I just hold the bags for you and give them to her? We will all meet up anyway.

She thought Zhao Mai would object. After all, delivering the package was a rare opportunity to meet. Unexpectedly, he nodded and replied: Okay. When will you leave?

Are you going to see me off? Great! Barbara waved her fist vigorously, and then said with a smile: There are still three days, and then we will gather directly from the gate of Hogwarts. There will be a disembodiment. The shadow-changing teleporter takes us there.

You guys are going to Atlantis, so I'll take advantage of this relatively quiet period to go somewhere else. Zhao Mai felt that everyone's attention was focused on the Quidditch World Cup and the New Era Young Wizards Competition. During the competition, leaving Hogwarts and going to Arda was the least likely to attract attention. Others may think that he failed to participate in the competition, his enthusiasm is waning, and he is hiding somewhere from their eyes. He made up his mind, and then said to Barbara: In that case, I will go and see you off.
