I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 292 Hogwarts Warriors, Unexpected
1993 10 Month 12 Day.

A full week has passed since the last banquet, and during this time, both Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have become familiar with Hogwarts, and some of them have also established friendships with each other.

This is actually normal. After all, the population base of wizards in Europe is right here, and the total population is not as large as that of a third-tier city in a large Asian country.

Therefore, there are very few geographical barriers here. If we can chat with each other, we are already friends.

Closer to home.

This week, it was not only Beauxbatons and Durmstrang who gained something, Ian also gained a lot.

He spent 6-7 hours a day clocking in beside the Beauxbatons carriage without hesitation. This kind of resilience made Hagrid even think that Ian was under some strange spell.

However, effort and reward are most likely to be directly proportional. The alchemy carriage made by Nico was also cracked by Ian in every possible way, especially the core part of the magic inscription and alchemy techniques, which opened his eyes.

"Nico is a real master of alchemy..." Ian sighed.

Then he closed the notebook in his hand. The one-inch thick notebook was filled with various scrawled records, but it also completed its mission gloriously.

After cracking the core of the carriage, he no longer intends to continue studying the carriage. He can learn from it, but he cannot copy it directly.

Ian didn't want to directly copy a Beauxbatons carriage. He wanted to create a mobile home with his own style according to his preferences.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Hagrid walking towards this side holding two huge wooden barrels from a distance.

"This love brain... I'm afraid it's hopeless." Ian shook his head and sighed.

Hagrid now takes good care of the rune horses. During this period, he personally went to Hogsmeade to order single malt whiskey from the Three Broomsticks, for fear that these rune horses would miss a meal or two.

"It's strange that you left early today?" Hagrid also saw Ian's figure at this moment, which made him a little curious, knowing that Ian would not leave the carriage before dinner time every day this week.

"Yeah, leave early!" Ian nodded, then raised the notebook in his hand and said, "I've finished learning what I need to learn, and I won't come back again."

"That's great!" Hagrid said sincerely. Although he didn't know what there was to learn from a carriage, it didn't stop him from being happy for Ian.

"Ian, tonight at the Goblet of Fire the Warriors will be elected. Who do you think will represent Hogwarts?"

Faced with Hagrid's curiosity, Ian confidently said: "Cedric, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff."

"Cedric? That's really good!" Hagrid stroked his beard with his broad palm. He was equally optimistic about Cedric.

……

Time flies, and the auditorium is very lively this evening.

Because everyone knows very well that in a while, the Goblet of Fire will elect the final warrior of the Triwizard Tournament.

At this time, there were two more figures on the guest of honor table, Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports and Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic in England, and Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department.

The list of warriors was announced after dinner, which also resulted in most people not having much thought to eat, and basically just finishing a few bites hastily.

Professor McGonagall at the guest of honor also discovered this. At this moment, she got up early and knocked the wine glass on the table with her wand, making a crisp sound to attract everyone's attention.

Yes, Professor McGonagall is in charge tonight because a certain principal has disappeared again.

"The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I will announce the names of the warriors representing the three schools in a moment." Professor McGonagall had a rare smile on her face. "Now, let me first introduce the guests and referees this time."

Professor McGonagall introduced the guests at the guest table in turn, including the two department directors who arrived today.

The little wizards below also gave him a round of applause.Bagman nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, which was in sharp contrast to Old Barty next to him. The director of the International Magic Cooperation Department seemed to be forever unsmiling.

"…In the coming months, they will be working hard for the Triwizard Tournament."

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he turned his head and looked aside: "Mr. Filch, please bring up the Goblet of Fire now."

After hearing Professor McGonagall's instructions, Filch still used the skillful levitation spell and walked to the podium with the gem box containing the Goblet of Fire.

"... Three warriors will be born next, representing three schools respectively. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is the most impartial referee - the Goblet of Fire!"

Professor McGonagall tapped the box gently with her wand. Under the influence of magic, the box slowly disappeared like metal melted by high temperature, leaving only a simple-looking goblet on the table.

The blue flames were rolling and jumping continuously at this moment, and each time it touched the hearts of everyone.

"Now, the selection begins..."

As Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the blue flames in the Goblet of Fire steamed violently, and then turned into dazzling orange sparks.

"Crack crackle crackle!"

A tongue of fire shot up and rolled up a piece of burnt parchment in the air. Everyone's eyes were already fixed on the piece of paper that was swirling and falling.

Professor McGonagall stretched out her hand to catch the falling paper steadily, and then she read in a clear and powerful voice:

"The champion of Durmstrang, Viktor Krum!"

"Oh hoo!"

"That's not surprising at all..."

The little wizard's cheers swept the entire auditorium. You must know that Krum is a famous Quidditch star, and there are really many people who like him.Especially on Durmstrang's side, it can be said that it is what everyone expects.

"Bang~" Another tongue of fire sprang up.

"The champion of Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour!"

Well, the applause below was not inferior to Krum at all, and even lasted for a long time under the leadership of some fanatical boys.But Fleur did not have the corresponding prestige in Beauxbatons. At this moment, many girls in Beauxbatons showed dissatisfaction.

The third tongue of fire soared into the sky again.

The noisy auditorium seemed to have pressed a pause and became silent. Everyone was guessing who would represent Hogwarts as a warrior.

"The warrior representing Hogwarts...Percy Weasley!"

Professor McGonagall had a happy smile on her face at this moment. The Hogwarts warrior came from Gryffindor, and this alone made her feel extremely proud.

"Percy...there has indeed been a change!"

Ian was like an outsider at the moment, watching the lively auditorium quietly. The Goblet of Fire was held in advance, and the warrior changed from Cedric to Percy.

But after thinking about it for a while, he was not surprised. Percy's excellence was obvious to all. In the entire Hogwarts for more than ten years, the only person who could obtain 12 O's was his eldest brother Bill.

With such results, it is not surprising at all to replace Cedric as the Warrior. It should be said to be reasonable.

　In fact, Percy and Bill are two seriously underestimated characters in the original novel.
