Homecoming from Hogwarts

Final exam in physical education class?

The little wizards' eyes suddenly became focused, as this was something they had been curious about and looking forward to for a long time.

If it was an exam in any other subject, Harry would have cheered happily when he heard that he could avoid it.

But physical education was different after all, so when Hermione hesitantly asked Professor Braine if they could also take the physical education test, Harry did not give her an 'angry' glare.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Granger—"

Amosta shook his head regretfully.
"I need the Warriors and teammates in the tournament to focus on the competition. As for the final exams, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to participate."

"But--"

Hermione wanted to argue.

After going through such a long period of arduous training, it is inevitable to feel unwilling to be excluded when the time comes to test one's true level.

However, Professor Brian did not give her any chance to appeal.

Amosta raised her hand to interrupt Hermione and said with a smile,
"Go ahead, Miss Granger. Mr. Weasley doesn't know the news yet. I'm sure he will be happy to hear the good news."

So, Hermione, Harry, Cedric, Neville and Luna, under the calm and majestic gaze of Amosstar, walked out of the physical education classroom one after another unhappily.

After the door closed with a click, several people disappeared from the students' sight.

Amosta looked at the remaining students and clearly captured the disappointment in the eyes of each young wizard, including Qiu Zhang, who had the opportunity to become a teammate of the Warriors but gave up the chance so that Cedric would not have to bear such a heavy burden and would have a better chance of winning.

This is inevitable. At this age when one is full of vigor and eager to excel, who would not hope to "show off in front of others"?

Even the Slytherins, including Draco, who had always been disdainful of the two Hogwarts warriors, felt a little unwilling.

"Okay, let's talk about our own things."

Amosta clapped his hands to attract the attention of the little wizards, and then he snapped his fingers, and the stack of parchment he brought from the office flew into the air and landed accurately in front of each little wizard.

"Please take a look, is this a confidentiality agreement and a security agreement?"

"Non-disclosure and security agreements?"

Draco shook the parchment, narrowed his eyes, and read the contents of the paper in a low voice.
"I, ——, volunteer to take part in the final physical education test at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I am fully aware that this test is dangerous and may result in injury and life-threatening consequences.

If the above situation really occurs during the project, all consequences and responsibilities will be borne by myself, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Professor Amosstar Blaine will have nothing to do with it.

In addition, before the test is over, no content related to the test may be disclosed to anyone who has not signed the agreement. "

One by one, the little wizards raised their heads from deep inside and looked at each other. Finally, they all looked at Professor Brain's face with a faint smile, all with expressions that were hard to describe.

The corner of Draco's mouth twisted, and a not-so-friendly memory jumped into his mind uncontrollably.

That was when Professor Blaine entered Hogwarts and had just become their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

At that time, he forced them to sign a similar agreement, and then he had the crazy idea of ​​creating an Inferi for them to deal with. Only one person completed the test, and that was Harry Potter, the person he hated the most.

What was even more unacceptable to him was that he was saved once by Harry Potter during that test.

And now, Professor Brian is doing it again.

"Have you finished reading it all?"

Amosta, who seemed to have no idea that he was rehashing something old, laughed.

"Before taking the PE test, everyone needs to sign the agreement in their hands. Do you have any questions?"

The little wizards looked at each other again for a while, and then shook their heads.

Fred and George looked at each other, and each brother mouthed the word: scare.

Yes, no one really thinks that the school and Professor Brian will throw their personal safety aside. This is just creating a sense of crisis for them.

So, the little wizards took out feathers from their schoolbags and wrote their names on the paper without any psychological burden.

When Hannah, who was the most nervous, signed her name under McMillan's encouragement and handed the parchment to her, Amosta smiled happily.
"I'm very happy that everyone in my class has the courage to take on this challenge. Well, I'm afraid I'll have to waste your weekends. Everyone will gather in the auditorium at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Then, you'll follow me to the Forbidden Forest."

"To the Forbidden Forest?"

Draco's grey eyes widened slightly, "What are we doing in the Forbidden Forest, Professor Blaine?"

Amosta, who was sorting out the messy security and confidentiality agreements, looked up at Draco and pretended to be surprised.
"Ah, did I forget to mention that the third match of the Triwizard Tournament will be held in the Forbidden Forest? And you are one of the tests for the warriors and their teammates—"

Looking at the students whose breaths were stagnant and whose eyes were filled with incredible surprise, Amosta smiled, and his joking voice floated in the classroom.
"Of course, the four groups of warriors and their teammates are also a test for you. If you can't defeat them as a group, then just wait and see."

Several students who were "kicked out" of the physical education classroom wanted to linger at the classroom door for a while to see if they could eavesdrop on the content of the physical education final exam.

But in the end, they chose not to do so.

Firstly, a door could not block Professor Brain's sight, and they would definitely discover it if they eavesdropped.

Secondly, this kind of thing cannot be kept secret. By the time of lunch, the specific content of the exam will probably spread throughout the school.

"I didn't expect you would choose Neville and Luna as your teammates!"

As soon as he walked out of the radiation range of the classroom and came to the corridor with corridors on both sides, Harry immediately grinned at Cedric in surprise.

Cedric scratched his cheek embarrassedly.
"Actually, this was Qiu Zhang's suggestion. I hope you don't think I'm cheating."

"Oh, what makes you think that, Cedric?"

Hermione asked in surprise.

"Does that need to be said?"

Neville put his arm around Sedna's and said with a grin,

"Cedric obviously realizes that Luna and I are so powerful that we can even upset the balance of the competition. Unfortunately, Hermione, it seems that Cedric has already secured the title of the Triwizard Tournament!"

Several people laughed, but no one denied that Neville and Luna, as physical education assistants, were indeed very strong.

Cedric, Neville and Luna did not come downstairs for lunch.

The competition is only a few days away, and they have never worked together before, so they need to hurry and find a place to train their mutual understanding.

Harry and Hermione rushed downstairs, but did not find Ron in the hall.

"Hurry up, Hermione, Ron must be in the common room!"

Not finding anyone, Harry and Hermione turned around and rushed into the hall again, going up the stairs quickly.

Ten minutes later, they passed the Fat Lady's portrait and arrived at the Gryffindor common room.

"General!"

As soon as Harry entered the common room, he heard Ron's happy cry.

Following the sound, Harry saw Ron, Seamus and Dean playing wizard chess on the sofa near the fireplace, where they usually sat.

It's not surprising that Seamus was defeated. Ron's wizard chess level is probably unmatched among all the young wizards in Hogwarts, including professors.

"You're amazing, honey!"

Lavender, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa next to Ron, looked even more excited than Ron. She ignored Ron's attempts to stop her, bent down, held Ron's face and kissed him. Her infatuation made Harry and Hermione feel a little jealous.

"Oh, I said—"

Amid the booing of Seamus and Dean, Ron, with his ears red, wiped the saliva from his cheeks. When he caught a glimpse of Harry and Hermione standing at the door of the lounge, he immediately stood up in panic.
"Oh, you're back—"

Ron didn't know where to put his hands. He glanced at the grandfather clock on top of the chest of drawers and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"But, physical education class has just started, right? Professor Blaine has asked for leave again?"

"Oh, there was an unexpected situation, if you are interested, Ron."

Lavender's presence made it harder for Harry and Ron to speak freely.

"What nonsense, Harry—"

Ron broke free from Lavender's restraints on his arms and hurried to the two of them. Facing his two good friends, his cheeks were still red, but he pretended that nothing had happened.
"So, what happened? Could anyone be so kind as to tell me?"
