Sword and Magic and Taxi

The·Che stopped steadily in front of the long steps at the entrance of Hogwarts. The day was still gloomy, with light rain falling lightly. After all, it was still early spring weather in the UK. My body was chilly and my heart was a little chilly.

Diana. Zhao Mai opened the car door, but stretched her arms to block it in front, and she frowned slightly. Zhao Mai said: How about going to my place?

No, I still need time to think about it. Diana smiled at Zhao Mai and slowly shook her head. I want to go back home first and visit my mother on Paradise Island. I will find you again.

Okay. Zhao Mai nodded. Diana stepped out of the car, crouched down slightly and then flew into the air, disappearing in a moment. Dumbledore patted Zhao Mai on the shoulder, then jumped out of the car and stretched hard on the steps of Hogwarts.

This weather is not good for bones at all. I just want to warm up by the fire, eat some candy, drink some hot drinks or something. How about Mike come with me?

Zhao Mai knew that Dumbledore wanted to comfort himself, and he also wanted to talk to someone, so he nodded: You won't mind if I bring the maid, the dog and a pot of flowers, right?

Haha, of course I don't mind if it's anywhere. Dumbledore said with a smile. He released Phoenix Fox from his sleeve and whispered a few words to it, probably preparing to boil water and refreshments. The fire phoenix flapped its wings and flew away with a trail of flames.

Dumbledore and Zhao Mai walked side by side. Both of them walked very slowly, and they seemed to want to use this time to think about the topics of the subsequent conversation. They stepped up the steps and saw students in Hogwarts uniforms running around, cheerful smiles on their faces. Many people greeted them from a distance, some shouted Hello Professor, while others smiled and cheered Hello 8th Grader. Dumbledore also had a smile on his face, everyone looked happy, so it seemed that everything was back on track.

So you're here, I thought you weren't coming! Before anyone heard the sound, Barbara ran over from the teaching castle with her robe in hand and said breathlessly: Hurry up, it's almost time. , hurry up and sign up!”

Sign up? What name should I sign up for? Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment and said strangely: I don't need to take the exam...

Examination? Where did you think you were? Didn't you promise to participate in the World Young Wizards Championship? The Goblet of Fire - I don't know how long it will take, but it will be very soon - will be moved away. Hurry up and move your Put your name in!

Isn't it over already? Dumbledore also felt quite strange and asked.

Ah, hello, Mr. Professor, I forgot to say hello just now. It's my fault. But time is really urgent now, hurry up and write your name! Barbara took out the large sleeve of the mage's robe, and there was a book inside. There was a piece of paper spread out and a pen with the cap unscrewed: Hurry up and write your name!

Zhao Mai took the paper and pen and suddenly asked: If I don't come again, will you have to write my name on my behalf and sign up for the Goblet of Fire?

Barbara suddenly blushed, bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and rubbed her toes on the ground. Zhao Mai sighed and probably had some ideas in his mind. Professor Dumbledore, I haven't seen the Goblet of Fire yet. Let's go and see it together.

Dumbledore nodded. He held the wand in his hand as he walked. Reveal quickly! Reveal the truth! Destroy the illusion! Dazzling light continued to erupt from the top of the wand, and the students watched the professor's spellcasting with admiration. Few people had seen the power of Dumbledore using his full strength to cast spells, and they couldn't help but be fascinated by it. Then I saw an Auror (elite magician, stalker) from the British Ministry of Magic walking out of the castle.

Dumbledore? I thought there was an attack here or something else happened! The Auror put away the wand in his hand, and then said: We have checked many times, and there is no spell affecting this place. Are you here? worry about what?

I'm worried about a lot of things. Dumbledore suddenly became angry and strode into the castle. Except for Zhao Mai, no one else understood why Dumbledore was like this.

They entered the hall and saw three other Aurors protecting the Goblet of Fire, its blue flames burning on the golden cup. Dumbledore pointed his wand at the Goblet of Fire, and the three Aurors also drew out their wands and took a defensive posture: Dumbledore, what are you going to do?

Appear quickly! Dumbledore's magic illuminated the entire hall. The Goblet of Fire was unharmed, but all the magic circles the Aurors had used to protect it were exposed, glittering like spider webs on the ceiling, walls and floors.

Dumbledore, put down your wand! This is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. If you... Before the Auror could finish his words, Dumbledore had already put away his wand. He instantly read all the magic circles and knew that this was not an illusion scene, everything was real. There is only one explanation: there is a time error. He thought he was back after the Atlantis incident, but he didn't expect to be back before.

Mike, Mike! Throw your name in immediately, quickly! Dumbledore urged again: Don't wait!

Zhao Mai wrote his name, came to the Goblet of Fire, and looked at the Aurors on the left and right. He dropped the note in and watched once more as it was engulfed in flames.

Are you the eighth grader? One of the Aurors guarding the Goblet of Fire adjusted his glasses and suddenly said, I know your name, but this is the first time I've seen you in person. You should have graduated at that time. Instead of staying at Hogwarts.

Zhao Mai took a deep breath, then snorted: Shut up. He turned and left the Goblet of Fire.

Mike, did we go back to the wrong time? If Atlantis hasn't happened yet, then you must go. This way you can solve the problem faster and get the students back, right?

I lost the election last time, do you remember? Zhao Mai said to Dumbledore: And I have a feeling that this is not the wrong time. I have never seen my car drive to the wrong place. Woolen cloth!

No? Dumbledore frowned: Well, let's solve it one by one. I'll go to the Ministry of Magic right now. I can't make the same mistake as last time. I have to take precautions this time. It seems I have to use something. Old Bones. How about you go home first and I’ll meet you at your place when I get back?”

Okay, it's settled. Zhao Mai glanced at the phone, and veins popped up on his forehead. He said to Dumbledore: I happen to have to go back, and I am very worried now.
