Chapter 54: Well, I Didn't Write It ...
For wizards, it's not a good thing to be sick - after all, wizards fight directly and it's not a turn-based game, you spell me a spell, if you really fight, the proportion of physical fitness is too great.
It can't be helped, after all, the enchantment is not a pointing skill, and if you're agile enough, most attacks won't even touch your edge, let alone cause any damage.
However, there is no such thing as physical education at Hogwarts - Defence Against the Dark Arts classes at Hogwarts are not taught properly, let alone physical exercises for wizards.
It's not that the school isn't going to teach, it's that magic doesn't allow it.
Just like Umbridge said to Harry, their Defence Against the Dark Arts class followed the most standard process, Harry and their first spell release should be during their exams - anyway, for the wizarding society, whether or not they can fight this thing is not helpful in finding a job, except for the pure-blood family who will train in private, the Ministry of Magic can let them pass the later Auror training if they need talents.
It's a good thing that the students don't know how to fight - if something happens, the Ministry of Magic will be better able to deal with the offender, right?
Besides, if everything is trained in school, doesn't that mean that Fudge was born to send an army to Dumbledore?
According to Fudge's cautious appearance, this matter is naturally impossible for him who is worried about Dumbledore taking his place every day, and it is already a very extreme operation for Alan to urge them to exercise their bodies - if all the students are forced to attend physical education class, someone must be unable to help asking, and if it leaks out a little bit at that time, it will be a big trouble, after all, Hogwarts' annual budget is from the Ministry of Magic, and it couldn't be easier to get a card.
Therefore, the professor also smiled a little and told the punished students to remember that they didn't care about this matter after the duty, after all, she couldn't go against the previous rules of the school - although this was a compromise, but if this compromise could not be done, then the Muggle wizards in the castle probably couldn't stay.
After all, Hogwarts doesn't charge a penny of tuition, but it provides high-quality food and accommodation, as well as a bunch of props and venues for experimenting with magic, which is simply impossible without outside blood transfusions.
Even the Minister of Magic, when introducing Malfoy's father to others, would say that Lucius had recently donated a large sum of money to the Ministry of Magic - that would be to say that money was useless in the wizarding world.
——
Life is uneventful - but the fact that Alan has disciplined his own unseemly juniors has spread very easily.
For a while, many of the junior Hufflepuffs practiced running, for fear that their dear comrades would not look at it for a while and stretch their magic grip on the shoulders of their group.
But to their surprise, what they feared did not come, and just as the days were passing unhurriedly, the second game was already approaching.
To almost everyone's surprise, the second game was stunned for so long without any problems being discovered - the news was so tightly sealed this time that Allen and his gang of people trying to figure out what people were preparing for the game felt extremely aggrieved.
Not only the others, but before being called into the small tent, Alan clearly read the fact from the faces of the others, that is, everyone present, except for the referee, did not have even one person who got the problem of the second game - compared to the situation when everyone in the first game got the problem before the game, it is a world of difference.
The referee of the match is still Bagman.
He looked at everyone with a happy expression.
"It's been a long time, boys (Alan heard Fleur's clear snort of dissatisfaction with the title), and although it's still a week before our second game, I've called you in advance. ”
He smiled very gently: "Originally, we originally planned not to give any information to you before the game, so that you would know what you were going to face in the moment before the game, but due to safety and well-how to say, cooperation, we decided to stay for a whole week for you to prepare. ”
?
What the heck?
Is this what it means to open the book contest?
Inform the content of the competition a week in advance - is it true that there is no school behind these people?
What kind of puzzle would make the Ministry of Magic so confident that they would dare to give them a whole week?
Not only Allen, but everyone's faces were a little surprised, a week was too long to look up the information, especially for their batch of adult honor students, except for some of Harry's spells that might not be able to be used due to magical reasons, everyone else could learn and sell the spells that they could deal with in this week's time.
However, Bagman probably had no intention of selling off, and he gave an explanation of the problem without waiting for everyone to think about it.
"Well, the first game was a test of your courage – and the second game was a test of your unity. ”
Bagman nodded deeply, "Of course, in my opinion, I prefer to call this activity an honor—the honor of the school. ”
Just when the group of people below listened to the bewilderment, he began to explain quickly.
"There's only one trophy in the Triwizard Tournament, and that honor goes to the warrior who lifted it – so this time the two warriors had to do it together. ”
"What are you kidding!"
"How is this possible!"
"I don't agree! I'd rather go it alone!"
Different shouts almost blurted out from the mouths of the various warriors.
The reason is very simple - after the previous place was selected, except for Hogwarts, the rest of the schools were selected for the second time, and everyone looked at each other unpleasantly, and compared to the first selection of the Warriors, the second selection was a big difference in grades, which gave many people who had previously supported the first Warrior a better excuse to blame them - for this, the warriors between the schools almost turned their faces, and the download was to let them cooperate, which was really a joke.
However, there was no joke on Bagman's face.
"Of course I'm not kidding - that's something the principals have agreed on, and the competition team has already passed this new competition, and the reason why you're giving you a week is to get to know each other and get acquainted with each other, and of course, we don't have the intention of making a decision that some people are not happy with. ”
As he spoke, Bagman pulled out a few pieces of parchment from his pocket and showed them to the crowd—on top of the folded parchment, a line of warriors' markings stood out.
"It doesn't matter if you don't like to cooperate with each other, the parchment that is not allowed to be opened will be kept by your other warrior before the match, and then you can participate in the game alone. ”
He was smiling very happily—and the expressions on the faces of those who had opposed it before were unusually ugly.
With this move, even if the Ministry of Magic separated them, they would have to quietly rendezvous - no one knew what was inside the parchment, but it was clear that no one had intended to put this object that was obviously related to the previous mark on his teammate and let him walk with him.
Therefore, teaming up is inevitable, even if everyone doesn't like each other, and even wants to stab them in the back, but at this moment they all have to cooperate.
As for Bagman himself, he probably felt that his words were too much to provoke hatred, and left quietly after announcing the rules, completely not giving the rest of the warriors a chance to kill with their eyes.
After Bagman dispersed, a group of warriors began to look at each other—suddenly gathering the people, and then suddenly announcing such a disgusting person, most of them even had the intention of spitting out stars.
After a few people looked at each other a few times, they all felt that there were some stupid people standing here, so they simply turned around and left together, except for Allen's side, none of the school's warriors left in a group - obviously, even if it was to discuss cooperation, it would be done in private, and it was impossible to carry out this act in front of everyone.
The rest of the people scattered towards their camp, and Harry on Alan's side hurriedly greeted Eren when there were no outsiders.
"Alan, do you know what's going on? I'm completely confused by those competitions - what are the people from the Ministry of Magic doing here?"
"What can you do? I didn't know which principal came up with a trick, and finally forcibly changed the originally scheduled game. Alan casually kicked the tree on the side of the road, causing the snowflakes hanging on it to fall, and replied without even turning his face back.
"Change?" Harry froze.
"That's right, it's changed - the second game was definitely not such a game under the original circumstances, and I don't know which headmaster joined forces to replace it. ”
"How is that possible?"
"How could it be? You know, when it was first announced that there would be five events, no one expected that there would be eight warriors to compete, and how could this thing be decided at the beginning, so the second game was completely changed later—I don't know what it was like. ”
But Alan didn't plan to think about it - since there is a parchment printed with a personal logo, it will be distributed to companions, and two people are allowed to team up, which is simply a question for sending points...
It's not that he brags, let them have a wand and a hand, they can come to any school, it's all for points.
Allen's side was relieved, but Harry was obviously in a state of anxiety - even if he had successfully dealt with the fire dragon in the first game, he still didn't think he had the ability to meet the challenges of the other warriors head-on, if it was him, he was still the one who teamed up with Allen - what if he dragged Allen back?
Thinking of this, Harry blurted out a little anxiously, "Then Alan, do I want to train urgently this week, do I want to learn some more magic?"
Alan turned his head and stared at Harry in surprise for a long time - did he usually train this child too hard, so that this child didn't even know his own strength at the moment?
Or was he acting too exaggerated, causing Harry to lose much confidence in himself?
Just when Harry was staring at Maomao, Alan finally spoke: "That, eat well this week, sleep on time, pay attention to your living habits, don't fall ill during the exam, and the rest, it depends on the situation... ”
Alan was also desperate - he searched for a long time before he found something more suitable for what he said now, it was a bit unkind to take advantage of the game to make up the tuition fee, and patting Harry on the shoulder and saying that you will learn to shout 666 and leave the rest of the matter to me is too shameful for him to say.
After Alan finished speaking, he realized that what he said seemed to be even more wrong, but he didn't know what to change for a while, so he simply left Harry, who was confused, and returned to the castle alone...
——
When Alan returned to his father-in-law's common room, a crowd of people who had known that Bagman had urged the others to call out to them for a group of warriors to go to the tent had already surrounded him.
"Alan, what did I tell you when I went, the game is still a week, let's think about it carefully, maybe we can get it done before the game!"
"It's just- this time a bunch of warriors are gone, what did Director Bagman say over there?"
。。。
Are you guys addicted?
Besides, how can you guess this information?
After thinking about it and organizing the language, Alan said the general information: "Actually, I didn't notice anything - it was just said that in a week's game, Harry and I should be teammates by then, and then there will be a parchment with the logo we put on each other's bodies, and there is no other news."
"Teaming up, parchment, that's all?"
"That's right, that's all. Alan nodded in agreement.
"How can you guess this—it could be a treasure hunt, it could be a capture, it could be an obstacle course, there are so many possibilities, it's almost nothing, how can you guess?"
For a while, everyone fell silent - it was better not to give this news, and if you knew it, you couldn't guess anything.
"But we always have good news, you and Harry's team are better than the two of them from other schools - the students of those schools are about to fight this day, how can it be as good as ever in a week!"
"Not necessarily—don't forget that Harry is only a fourth-year student!"
A bunch of people nodding.
。。。
Well, Alan finally understood why Harry wasn't confident.
