Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

By around three o'clock in the afternoon, the sixth grade students had finished the last course and were happily looking forward to the upcoming competitions and holidays.

But the fifth graders had to wait another two hours.

In the afternoon, Kyle and Cedric sat by the Black Lake, discussing the upcoming game.

Fred and George went back to their old ways and went to find Bagman and Karkaroff. According to them, the closer they got to the game, the less they could let down their guard.

After all, now that the maze is complete, maybe Bagman will tell Karkaroff the route to the trophy.

"The game will start in a few hours. I really hope the time can go faster..." Cedric looked at the giant squid basking in the sun in the middle of the lake and said, "How do you see those magic spells? There's no problem, right?" .”

"Of course it's no problem." Kyle said, "Why do I feel that you are more nervous than me."

"I don't know, maybe because this is the last competition." Cedric said, "You were in the lead in the first two events. If...I mean, it would be a pity if you lost in the end. "

"Don't worry, I won't lose."

"I know." Cedric said with a smile, "If you can win the Triwizard Tournament championship trophy, Professor Sprout will definitely be very happy.

"I last saw her in Hogsmeade. She seemed to be picking out new robes in the wizard clothing store."

"New robe?" Kyle turned to look at him, "You're not mistaken, are you? Didn't she just buy a new robe last year?"

This may be a bit strange to say to other people. After all, no one buys only one piece of clothing a year. But for Professor Sprout, it was perfectly normal.

Usually at school, she wears more sturdy clothes that are convenient for taking care of plants in the greenhouse, and she only changes into a robe during the opening banquet.

In addition, Kyle also noticed that her yellow robe had not been changed for several years. It was not until last year, after Hufflepuff won the House Cup for four consecutive years, that she changed into a new one.

And this new robe was even used by her as a dress at the Christmas ball.

"You should be right," Cedric said. "After all, if you win the championship, it will not only be the honor of Hogwarts, but also the honor of Hufflepuff. Professor Sprout will definitely want to celebrate as well."

Well, celebrate with a new robe...that sure sounds like Professor Sprout's style.

At this time, Cedric suddenly said: "Kyle, look over there, it's the principal."

When Kyle turned around, he happened to see Dumbledore walking out of the castle, and with him were several other referees, who were discussing something intensely.

"What are they talking about?" Cedric asked curiously.

"I don't know." Kyle shook his head. Because they were a bit far away, they couldn't hear what the referees said at all.

"I think it must be something related to the competition."

"No way." Cedric said in surprise: "The game is about to start. Do they still have any differences?"

"Who knows." Kyle said, not paying much attention.

Every principal wants to favor the warriors of his school, and it is normal to have differences.

…

By five o'clock, bursts of excited cheers came from the castle.

"I think the exams are over," Cedric said.

Then, they also stood up and prepared to go back to the castle for dinner.

"Hey, you guys are here..."

At this time, Fred and George, who had disappeared all afternoon, also came back. They looked very excited.

"Guess what we heard..."

"Did Bagman really tell Karkaroff the route to the maze?" Cedric asked quickly.

"No." Fred shook his head, "But Bagman did go to find Karkaroff again."

"He said that the maze was completed by all the judges together, and no one knew the specific route."

"That's fine," Cedric said.

"But we heard another news." George said mysteriously: "The referees seem to want to use the same method as the second event to make the game more difficult."

"The second project method?" Kyle wondered: "What does this mean."

"Hostages." Fred said, "They want to add a few more hostages to the game. The Warriors must find all the hostages before they can get the final trophy."

"You didn't hear wrong, right?" Cedric blurted out: "The maze is dangerous enough, why do we need to add more hostages?"

"We swear, we didn't." George said seriously, "Anyway, we heard what Bagman said clearly."

"Wait... No, it's daytime now." Cedric suddenly thought of something, "Can your Disguise Spell get close to them?"

Ludo Bagman aside, Karkaroff is still a principal no matter what. It's broad daylight and there is no cover of night. There's no way he can't even notice someone approaching using the Disguise Charm.

"Of course not, so we borrowed a very useful prop." Fred raised his eyebrows, and then took out something that looked like an ear from his pocket.

"Retractable ears, we just made them a week ago."

George said, "We disguised it as a bush and happened to hear what Bagman and Karkaroff were saying."

"Okay." Cedric sighed and couldn't help but look at Kyle, "It seems that Kangna will be a hostage again. It depends on how long it takes you to rescue her."

"No, no, no, you guessed wrong this time." Fred shook his finger, "The hostage at Hogwarts is not Connor, but Harry."

"Harry Potter?"

"That's right," George said. "They thought it would make the game more exciting if the Boy Who Lived got involved."

"Let Harry participate in the last competition?" Kyle felt something was wrong and asked, "Do you know who suggested this?

"Karkaroff? Or...Barty Crouch?"

"I don't know about that."

Fred said, "It should have been decided a long time ago that we only pay attention to Bagman. He also mentioned this when talking to Karkaroff."

"Bagman also said that this game will definitely occupy the front page of the Daily Prophet for the next week."

Kyle frowned, still feeling that something was a little strange, but before he could ask again, Kangna and Qiu happened to run over from not far away.

"What are you talking about."

"It's about the Triwizard Tournament." Fred said, "By the way, you go have dinner first. We have to find Principal Dumbledore."

"The hostage doesn't have to be Harry, we can do it too." George said.

"This is the Triwizard Tournament, and it's the only one we can participate in..."

"We discussed this when we came here."

"Although I can't be a warrior, I still have to fight for the job of being a hostage no matter what."

After that, they rushed out of the castle in a hurry and went to find Dumbledore.

Kyle thought for a moment.

Although it's a bit strange to have Harry as a hostage, with Dumbledore here, there shouldn't be any problems...

Just remind them to check the Goblet of Fire later to see if there's anything wrong with it.

After figuring this out, Kyle went to the auditorium with the others.
