A new round of cheers rang out, the Hogwarts Four-wizard Tournament was here, the annoying Minister of Magic Fudge stepped down, and the toad Umbridge who had swaggered into the school and clamored to capture Moon was also Demoted...

What is three blessings coming to the door!

Susan Bones, a first-year Hufflepuff wizard, did not cheer as she was dumbfounded.

Her aunt, Amelia Bones, quit the election last time more decisively than anyone else.After only a year, how come my aunt has become the favorite to be the next Minister of Magic?

Her roommates sitting next to Susan cheered excitedly and shook Susan's arm, "Oh my God! Susan, your aunt is going to be the Minister of Magic!"

This cute and chubby little girl blinked her round eyes, looked blankly at the newspaper, and muttered, "Oh, yes, my aunt is going to be the Minister of Magic."

Now several of her roommates were also confused.

Why are you so fat?What's going on?Why does it look like Susan is not excited at all?

Of course Susan was not unexcited, she just found it a little hard to accept the news for a while.Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to finally react and smile along with her roommates.

Susan was not the only one who did not cheer, but also Draco Malfoy - he felt that he must have had great bad luck this year, and maybe it was because he met the dirty Hermione Granger. The ugly Mudblood.

He has been involved in the family's social affairs with his father since he was a child. Naturally, he knows that his father has given Cornelius Fudge a lot of money this year. .

Of course, what's worse is that Amelia Bones has always been at odds with his father, and he knows this.

So far, there are not many pure-blood families that still have influence in the British wizarding world. The most typical ones are the Shafiq family and the Malfoy family, but the difference between the two is very big:

The Shafiq family mainly relies on the family's materials business to spread its power. At first, it was suppressed to a certain extent because it did not follow Voldemort. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise in the end, and it gained more people's favor after the fall of Voldemort.

On the other hand, the Malfoy family, although they extremely despise Muggles, in fact, more than half of their family's heritage comes from serving and currying favor with the Muggle royal family, which also allowed them to obtain a lot of Muggle art and jewelry. Collection, even a large area of ​​land that truly belongs to the Malfoy family, and extremely considerable wealth.

Unfortunately, because they chose to follow Voldemort in the first place, the Malfoy family also suffered a lot of damage after Voldemort's fall - the loss of gold galleons was a trivial matter, and more importantly, they were closely watched. Not only was it no longer possible to reap benefits in the Muggle society, but even some activities in the wizarding society were affected, so that the growth of wealth even tended to stagnate.

This is also the reason why Lucius Malfoy has been sending money to Fudge. On the one hand, the Malfoy family has always liked to use money to manipulate power. On the other hand, Lucius Malfoy also had to feed Cornelius Fudge. Only when they are full can the Malfoy family re-grow the roots they once lost.

Who would have thought that Cornelius Fudge would kill himself within a year of taking office!

Draco didn't even need to go back home to guess that his father must have smashed the study again right now.

Based on this situation, of course he couldn't cheer - unless he was itchy and wanted to taste the taste of his father's slap.

Harry spotted the crying Malfoy at a glance, which undoubtedly made him happier.During this period of time, he learned two spells from Sirius. Although he was still a little unsure, he was more eager to try them than just unsure.Therefore, when he heard in the morning that the Four Powers Tournament was coming soon, he felt as if he had been hit hard by a pump.

Now I see Malfoy is unhappy again, then, according to Harry's happiness formula: Malfoy is unhappy = Harry is happy, happy + happy = double happiness.

Is there a problem?no problem.

He even tugged on Ron's sleeve and shared the happiness with Ron and Hermione.

So one person's double becomes three people's double happiness - blood profit!

…………

Professor McGonagall was also very happy today. The first class for Moon and others today was hers. Not even five minutes into the class, she called him up and asked him a very difficult question, and then naturally gave him a question. Went up twenty minutes later.

The little wizards vaguely felt an invisible atmosphere of comparison - on Wednesday, did Professor Flitwick also give Moon an extra twenty points?

Not only that, when Alma accidentally lit her squirrel's tail on fire in class, Professor McGonagall didn't even deduct points. She just gave Alma a gentle lesson and then helped to kill the squirrel. On fire.

The little wizards of Hufflepuff were in high spirits, but only the squirrel looked aggrieved.

After all, Professor McGonagall could obviously put out the fire for it first.

The little Hufflepuff wizards were happier in the second period of the Herbology class. After all, it was a class given by the headmaster of their college.There is no doubt that Professor Sprout also chose to come to teach in person, and because Moon greeted her very politely when she came in, he gave Moon twenty points.

The situation became gradually more delicate.

The little wizards don't think there is anything wrong with giving Moon extra points. To be honest, they feel that just based on what Moon has done, even if Professor Dumbledore directly declares that this year's Academy Cup belongs to Hufflepuff. Most young wizards wouldn't have any objections.

What really makes the situation more delicate is that among the four deans, it seems that only one is left who has not given any points to Moon.

Oh no, not only did he get no points, but he also made Munn angry.

Who is it?

No one said it clearly, but in short, after a full day of classes and everyone in the school gathered in the auditorium on the first floor, Professor Snape felt extremely puzzled.

Because all the little wizards looked at him strangely.

That's right, not the kind of fear in the past, but that kind of, very subtle...

Fortunately, Professor Snape was very good at ignoring other people's gazes, so even though he was confused, he gathered his robes as usual, walked to his seat and sat down.

Before sitting down, he discovered something that puzzled him even more - the person sitting in the most marginal position next to him today had been replaced by Remus Lupin from Professor Trelawney.

Before he could ask, Remus chuckled and asked, "Professor Snape, I think you forgot something."

"Huh?" Professor Snape habitually hummed a syllable through his nose as a substitute for his answer.

"You forgot to give Moon points."

Professor Snape's face darkened in an instant. He slowly turned his head and his eyes were fixed on Moon.

Moon, who was fiddling with his pocket watch, shivered inexplicably, but when he turned around, he found nothing unusual at all - Professor Snape had already turned around to talk to Remus.

"Ding--!"

After Hagrid also strode to sit on the large seat specially prepared for him, and Mr. Filch closed the door of the auditorium with the cat in his arms, Professor Dumbledore tapped his wine glass gently.Strangely enough, even though it was just an ordinary knock, the sound was directly transmitted into everyone's ears, making everyone quiet down.

"Welcome, welcome, everyone is welcome to gather in this auditorium to listen to some boring words." Professor Dumbledore stood up slowly. "I have been thinking about my opening remarks all day today, and finally decided to keep it simple."

"You see, some time after the semester started, a classmate came to me and asked me a question. He asked me why I didn't introduce the professors at this year's opening banquet."

The old man swept his gaze from Moon and then gently pulled it back, "I told him that it was because it was not yet time and our new professor didn't want me to formally introduce him to you."

"However, that exact time has come today, so I would like to introduce you to our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year - although many of you may already know his true identity."

Professor Dumbledore chuckled and raised his hand, directing the eyes of the young wizards to Professor Greengrass who was sitting there with a smile.

"Let us welcome Dennis Greengrass, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Just today, he officially returned to the Greengrass family and reintegrated into the family that originally belonged to him."

Professor Greengrass wore a beautiful cinnabar-colored robe today. It was well-cut and decorated with golden lines.But what was worse was that he had tied his beard in an ugly knot.

But obviously the little wizards didn't care about this very much (except for Fred and George, who were looking down and laughing immodestly), so as soon as the professor stood up, everyone clapped vigorously.

I have been taking Defense Against the Dark Arts classes for half a year, and Professor Greengrass's teaching ability is always obvious to everyone.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, thank you, children." Professor Greengrass raised his hands and waited until everyone's applause became softer before stopping everyone from continuing to applaud, and then said: "Just like Professor Dumbledore As I said, I was expelled from the family because of some things back then. Maybe you have heard that I said a lot of bad things about mysterious people at that time."

"So, although I accepted Professor Dumbledore's invitation to come here to teach you, from the bottom of my heart, I don't really want him to say my name in front of you - especially my last name. After all, I He is a person who has been 'expelled' from his family and is not suitable to use this surname openly."

"Of course, none of this is a problem now." The professor laughed happily, "I hope I can continue to teach you in the future. To be honest, I like it here so much, even more than when I went to school here. like."

The little wizards clapped again, especially Daphne Greengrass the most vigorously.

After Professor Greengrass sat down, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously to the young wizards, "I am very happy to see everyone's recognition of Professor Greengrass." , but what I’m going to say next may be a bit hard for everyone to accept.”

"However, now, I think it is no longer appropriate to hide this matter any longer."

Remus slowly stood up from his seat, his expression calm.

Professor Dumbledore turned around, stopped talking, and motioned for Remus to complete the rest of the process on his own.So, Remus spoke softly, "I'm sorry for hiding the truth from everyone before. As Professor Dumbledore said, this was a mistake we made before, and we hope to end this mistake today."

"I'm a werewolf."

The auditorium was quiet for a moment, and then immediately exploded. Almost everyone was talking and looking at Remus in surprise from time to time.Some people suddenly realized why the two assistant teachers in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class always had a regular one-week break every month; some people realized why after Bert was bitten by a werewolf, Assistant Teacher Lupine came immediately. Gwartz.

But most of the glances directed at Remus were filled with confusion, confusion, surprise, and surprise. Remus could hardly find a few expressions that were obviously panic, fear, or disgust.

Until this moment, his mind was finally truly set.

In fact, the little wizards have been getting along with him for nearly a year, and have been Bert's classmates for a whole year.What's more, what Moon did a few days ago fully proved that, like little wizards like them, werewolves also have good and bad qualities.

Living together like this day and night, without the influence and guidance of an environment full of bullying, they also received a lot of positive guidance. Naturally, the little wizards will no longer become angry when they hear about werewolves, but will think more of Lu Ping. The teaching assistants are serious and responsible in class, and gentle and kind outside class.

Of course, there are indeed some people who express less positive emotions - this is reasonable. After all, deception does exist, and the danger of werewolves also exists objectively.

After confessing, Remus slowly sat down again, while Professor Dumbledore waited for the children to communicate. After a while, he continued: "Now, I want to leave the decision to you."

He waved his wand, and a piece of cardboard and a pen appeared in front of everyone.

"You can write down your thoughts on the card and choose to let Assistant Professor Lupine continue to teach here, or let him resign as an assistant and leave Hogwarts. No matter what choice you make in the end, Lupine Assistant Teacher Ping will accept it. As long as the final number of votes to let Assistant Teacher Lu Ping leave exceeds one-tenth of the total votes, Assistant Teacher Lu Ping will leave the school before next Monday."

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand again, and a wooden voting box appeared at the door of the auditorium.

"When you leave here tonight, just put the paper with your choice on it into the box. Of course, you can also choose not to write it today, and then make your own decision seriously after you go back at night. Until six o'clock tomorrow night Before, this box would always be kept here.”

Some young wizards wrote down their choices almost immediately after Professor Dumbledore finished speaking.There are also some people who are holding paper and pens and are unable to make a decision.

Obviously, this is the last thing Professor Dumbledore wants to announce.So, after finishing speaking, he took the lead in bidding farewell to everyone and exiting, and plates of exquisite dishes finally appeared on the four empty long tables.

After a while, the atmosphere in the auditorium finally became warm again, and the little wizards continued to chat.

Then, Bert stood up, walked to the door, and was the first to cast his vote.

Chapter 1 Duel Exhibition Match

After dinner, under the expectant eyes of the little wizards, Moon shared with everyone the battle last Sunday just like when he told Dana and others a bedtime story at home.

Of course, not everyone wants to hear this. In fact, the young wizards who made this request to Professor Greengrass and Sirius were mainly first-, second-, and third-year wizards. After all, they are still in a relatively young age. An age that prefers to join in the fun.This is why Moon chose to speak to everyone in the auditorium after dinner - people who don't want to listen can leave at any time, so that it won't be as outrageous as the "after-get off work meetings" on the Internet in my previous life.

More than half of the fifth- and sixth-grade wizards left quickly, almost a third of the fourth-grade wizards left, and there were only a few seventh-grade wizards left.There is no other way. Seeing that it is already the second half of the semester, the seventh-grade wizards are still thinking about work and exams every day. Rather than listening to Munn telling those distant stories here, it is more important to pay more attention to tomorrow's job. Some.

Most people cast their votes as they left the auditorium, and the seventh grade wizards voted most decisively.Because they will graduate in half a year, whether Assistant Lupine stays at Hogwarts will not have any impact on them, so this vote can be said to be without any pressure.

The narration is not too long. Unlike in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Greengrass will not throw a question at Moon from time to time. Moon has already had an experience and does not need to waste any more time. Think about what content should be left unsaid and what content can be discussed in detail.Therefore, after nearly 10 minutes, Moon gave a summary of the entire battle and answered many questions along the way.

After the story ended, the little wizards left the auditorium one after another. Moon also returned to the Hufflepuff table, found a few roommates, Violet and others, and returned to the Hufflepuff common room with everyone.

"Hey, do you guys think that next time the full moon Burt transforms, can I also apply to have a look." On the way back, Gal said eagerly, "I have never seen what a real werewolf looks like after it transforms." How it looks."

"You say it as if someone has seen it before." Yaerin tried to discredit Gal as usual, and made a face at him. "Werewolves don't run around in the streets."

Gal glared at Yaerlin, and then realized that Yalin was right. The hand he just raised no longer had the motivation to punch it out. He could only stand there for a moment, and then rubbed his head. .

However, Yaerlin obviously made some mistakes, because he ignored that Gal is not fighting alone now.

"So what Gal said is correct." Demi tilted her head and looked over. "He has indeed never seen a werewolf. Is there any problem?"

"..." Yaerlin opened his mouth, and after three seconds, he chose to give up the counterattack.

Regardless of the unwiseness of one versus two, he was habitually arguing with Garr, and he was the type to choke on his words whether they made sense or not.After all, it was Demi who jumped out to fight. If he continued to argue, Nagar might really chase him into the black lake.

When Demi saw Arlin turned away and stopped talking, she immediately felt proud, and by the way, she winked at Gal.Gal was enjoying his silly fun, but he accidentally passed through the body of the fat monk who was passing by, and his whole body felt "chilled to the core and soaring in the heart."

"Ah, I'm really sorry. I was just thinking about something and didn't notice you." The fat monk looked at Gal whose smile suddenly froze, and said apologetically to several people: "Uh, is he okay?"

"I...I'm fine." Gal shuddered and rubbed his face, "It's just...it was just a little too sudden."

"Huh, that's good." The fat monk breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Munn. "By the way, Munn, when will this year's semifinals begin? I was chatting with a few ghosts just now. , they also want me to help ask you. The days have been a bit boring recently, and everyone wants to go see the excitement. "

"Well, it's Sunday." Moon explained, "The game starts the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the fat monk immediately flew to Munn with gleaming eyes and asked curiously: "This is really great. Is there a more accurate time notification? Will the time for setting up the venue also be very tight? Also, will this year’s schedule be the same as last year?”

"There is no problem in setting up the venue. The schedule will change slightly, but not too much." Moon explained: "I just announced the exact time of the Final Four in the auditorium tonight. It will start at one o'clock the day after tomorrow. Exhibition match, the official competition will begin after the exhibition match.”

"Exhibition match...?" The fat monk showed a confused expression, because he really didn't remember that there was an exhibition match last year.

Cedric explained helpfully, "It's just two duel performances, one for the juniors and one for the seniors."

"Wow~" The fat monk seemed very excited, but the expression on his face clearly revealed that he was not really interested in the duel performance.

Just think about it, how could a wizard who always likes to stupidly transform into rabbits from the Holy Grail have any enthusiasm for dueling?

"Cough-cough-" However, the fat monk soon realized that he was not behaved appropriately enough. He coughed twice and quickly said: "Then, we will wait for Sunday to watch the game~ I hope you can The competition was better than last year.”

Several little Hufflepuff wizards waved goodbye to the fat monk, and continued walking back after watching the fat monk drift away.

"Speaking of duels, I'm really curious about who can win between Harry and Malfoy." Gal rubbed his arms, seeming to be a little uncomfortable. "I hope Harry can deal with Malfoy neatly."

"To be honest, I think it's a bit difficult." Cedric was pessimistic about this. "The size of Crabbe and Goyle still has an advantage over ordinary first-year wizards."

"Bulk?" Gal's eyes widened. "What does the wizard's duel have to do with Bulk?"

Arlin rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Idiot, what Cedric means is that Harry and the others are likely to throw their wands aside during the duel and start a fist-to-flesh duel."

"Uh...? Can you still swing your fists in a wizard duel?" Gal became even more confused.

"Actually, a long time ago, wizards and Muggles were not as distinct as they are now, and they lived together." Moon said casually from the side: "At that time, wizards and Muggles would also live together. Conflicts arise due to certain things and they duel each other. In order to avoid using magic spells in a duel, which would lead to unfairness, some wizards will specifically learn to use Muggle weapons."

"For example, the most famous one is Godric Gryffindor, and the Gryffindor sword today is the exact weapon he used back then."

"So, I can't say it's not possible at all, but if we really punch each other in a wizard duel... it will definitely make a joke."

Several young wizards looked at each other, and the scene of Harry and Malfoy fighting each other began to appear in their minds involuntarily.
