The next day, Saturday.

Usually, weekend mornings are the least crowded in the castle.

Everyone wants to sleep a little longer.

But the lobby was very crowded today.

When Andy and Qiu Zhang went downstairs for breakfast, the lobby was full of students watching the fun.

The Goblet of Fire was placed in the center of the lobby, surrounded by a thin golden line, and the blue-white flame was still burning in the wooden cup.

Not long after Andy and Qiu Zhang arrived, they saw the students of Durmstrang led by Karkaroff entering the lobby.

They took off their fur coats and wore red robes. The leader was Viktor Krum.

Karkaroff raised his chin proudly, glanced at the other Hogwarts students, and said to the back: "Show them your strength, come on, warriors of Durmstrang!"

Viktor Krum still had a stern face and walked forward.

He crossed the thin golden line in front of the Goblet of Fire and threw a piece of parchment into the Goblet of Fire.

The blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire suddenly surged, turned into a fiery red, engulfed the parchment, and then returned to its original state.

After Krum, the other students of Durmstrang followed suit and put the parchment with their names in it.

After everyone put their names into the Goblet of Fire, Karkaroff laughed and patted Krum on the shoulder, and left with his students.

The people of Durmstrang acted like a demonstration.

Their arrogant attitude made the others present a little dissatisfied, but the Hogwarts students who had opinions about it could not say anything.

Because the people from Durmstrang had already put their names into the Goblet of Fire, and no one from Hogwarts dared to sign up in front of everyone.

At this time, a noisy sound came from the direction of the hall.

Coming towards Andy were the Harry Potter triangle, whom Andy had seen many times recently, a pair of red-haired twins, and Lee Jordan from Gryffindor.

The latter also served as a commentator for Quidditch matches, but he was unemployed because the Triwizard Tournament was going to be held this semester.

"Hi, Qiu..." Harry saw Qiu Zhang still looking shy and greeted him in a low voice.

Qiu Zhang also greeted him, but was more interested in the twins and asked, "I heard you want to sign up too?"

No introduction was needed, Andy knew who the twins were.

Fred and George from the Weasley family, Ron's two older brothers, Filch's lifelong enemy, and the king of pranks in the castle.

These two brothers did everything except study, and they were already famous.

Qiu Zhang is quite familiar with them and often plays against them on the Quidditch field.

"Yes, we all drank a little bit of the aging potion. We are only a few months away from turning seventeen." They answered.

Qiu Zhang teased, "Is it really effective? If it is useful, can you give us some too?"

Harry was surprised and said, "Qiu, do you want to sign up too?"

"Not me, it's Andy."

Qiu Zhang looked at Andy and couldn't help laughing.

They obviously heard of Andy's name. One of the twins' eyes lit up and greeted Andy, "Hello, I'm George."

Andy: "No, you are Fred, he is George."

The twins looked at each other in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

Andy: "I guessed. I heard that you often play this trick."

Fred laughed and immediately bumped George with his elbow and said, "I like him."

"Me too." George said.

Fred said, "Okay, that's enough small talk. It's time for us to become warriors."

Hermione, who was beside them, said helplessly, "Oh my God, are you really going to do this? Forget it. You won't succeed."

"It's impossible that Dumbledore's magic can't even detect this." Andy also laughed, "I think you might as well try to crumple the parchment into a ball and throw it in. The chance of success is higher."

Hermione nodded and said, "That's right... No! You are not seventeen years old. According to the rules, you can't participate in the Triwizard Tournament!"

The twins pretended not to hear it. They said, "Yeah, why didn't we think of it? You can throw it in directly."

"But let's try the aging agent first. This is the most direct way."

Andy just said it casually. Of course, it doesn't work.

Dumbledore's age limit

In addition to detecting whether someone is over the age limit, the age dividing line also has a function similar to "security check".

Only those who have truly crossed the line can enter their information into the Goblet of Fire.

Otherwise, if you can just throw it away and register, then anyone can participate at will.

After the preparations were completed, Fred and George stopped joking and walked to the Goblet of Fire with a rare seriousness.

Everyone in the hallway fell silent, waiting for their results.

"One, two, three!" The twins said in unison, and together they crossed the age dividing line in front of the Goblet of Fire.

"Aha! Success!" Fred waved excitedly, and he and George both stepped over the dividing line completely.

But then, there was a loud noise, and the twins were lifted up by an invisible force, and then thrown out with great force, and flew backwards violently.

They fell heavily on the ground a few meters away.

Not only that, long white beards broke out on their faces, covering their entire chins.

The people in the hallway laughed when they saw their appearance.

Even the twins couldn't help themselves when they saw each other's looks. They fell to the ground and looked at each other, laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt.

"I warned you."

Dumbledore's voice came from the side. He walked into the hallway and said, "Miss Fawcett from Ravenclaw and Mr. Summers from Hufflepuff have the same idea as you two, but your beards are much better than theirs."

"I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey in the school infirmary. You won't be alone."

The twins still laughed non-stop, stood up and left with Lee Jordan.

Dumbledore smiled and said to everyone again: "I beg you not to waste your time, because Madam Pomfrey is really busy recently."

"Of course, if you want to make a special shape for your chin, that's another matter."

Dumbledore's words caused laughter again, and he left with a smile.

After Dumbledore left, Harry and his group looked at each other.

Seeing the fate of the twins, Harry and his friends completely gave up the idea of ​​signing up.

Qiu Zhang and Andy also planned to have breakfast first.

Just as the two were about to follow into the hall, a group of noisy voices came from the side of the hall: "You are the warrior of Hogwarts!"

"Go ahead, Ced! We absolutely support you!"
