Chapter 815: Checking the Wand
(Ask for subscription, ask for collection, ask for tickets~)
The next day, after seeing the dragon herself, Hermione was worried all day, and the most immediate consequence of this was that the girl did not raise her hand to speak for almost the whole day, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last lesson of the day was Snape's Potions lesson, and Keimon slept the whole time until Hermione pushed him hard and woke him up.
It was Colin Creevey, who slumped sideways into the classroom, smiling at Harry before walking toward Snape's podium at the front of the room.
"What's the matter?"
Snape asked impatiently.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm going to take Harry Potter and Kaiming upstairs. โ
Snape looked at Colin coldly,
"Potter has another hour of Potions class, and he'll go upstairs after class. โ
Snape said coldly, and then he glanced at Qiming, who had just gotten up from his desk,
"Qiming can go with you. โ
Colin's face turned white with fright,
"But, but, sirโMr. Bagman wants him to go,"
Colin said nervously,
"Harry and Enlightenment, all the warriors are going, and the Ministry of Magic is going to take pictures of them......"
"Good, good,"
Snape snapped,
"Potter, leave your stuff here, I want you to come back later and test your antidote. โ
"I'm sorry, sirโhe had to take his stuff with him,"
Colin said nervously at the top of his voice,
"All the warriorsโ"
"Good!"
Snape said,
"Potter - take your bag, disappear from my eyes! and you, Mr. Qiming......"
Snape said with a gloomy face,
"I think you need to sleep somewhere else. โ
Qiming shrugged his shoulders, got up from his seat, and walked towards the door.
As he walked out of the classroom, Harry followed with his school bag.
The two of them, led by Colin, came to an empty classroom in the castle.
Harry knocked on the door and walked in, Kaiming following behind.
It's a smaller classroom, and most of the desks have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle. But there were three desks facing each other, in front of the blackboard, covered with a long piece of velvet.
Behind the velvet-covered desks sat five chairs, one of which sat Ludo Bagman, who was talking to a witch Harry had never seen before, wearing a magenta robe.
In addition to Harry and Enlightenment, the other two warriors are already in place.
Krum, as gloomy as ever, stood in a corner, not speaking to anyone, and Fleur stood there without saying a word.
Harry quickly noticed that Flon had a disapproving expression on her face when he walked in, and when Keim walked in after him, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face and she waved directly at Keiming, Harry had never seen her happier since Fleur had followed the other Beauxbatons to Hogwarts.
Next to him, a pot-bellied man held a large black camera with a slight smoke in his hand, capturing this extremely beautiful smile in time.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Bagman stopped talking and jumped up from his chair at once,
"Ah, here they are! Now all the warriors are here. โ
Bagman said happily.
Harry looked a little uneasy, and seeing this, Bagman relieved,
"Come on, Harry, there's nothing to worry about, it's just a wand check, and the other judges will be here soon-"
"Detection wand?"
Harry glanced at Qiming and asked nervously.
"It's an old tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, and we have to check that your wand is fully functional and in good condition, because it is your most important instrument in future events. โ
Bagman said,
"The Expert is upstairs, with Dumbledore. And then we'll take a few more pictures, and this is Rita Skeeter,"
Bagman pointed to the magenta-robed witch he had spoken to earlier,
"She's writing a little article about the tournament for the Daily Prophet......"
"Maybe it's not a small article, Ludo. โ
Rita Skeeter said, her eyes fixed on Harry.
Her hair was made into large, delicate and odd curls that matched her face with a large chin, which looked particularly awkward. At the same time, she also wears a pair of jeweled glasses. Fat fingers clutched the crocodile leather handbag, and the nails were more than two inches long and painted red.
"Can I have a few words with Harry before we begin?" she asked Bagman, but her eyes were still firmly fixed on Harry,
"The youngest warrior, you know...... To add a little color to the article. โ
"Of course no problem!"
Bagman exclaimed,
"It's- I wonder if Harry is against it?"
"Uh-"
Harry hesitated, but was accepted by Rita Skeeter.
"Great. โ
Skeeter said, and then she grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him out of the room without saying a word, opening the door to the broomroom next to him.
Qiming sat there bored and waited, chatting with Fleur intentionally or unintentionally. He could sense that Fleur seemed happy to see him, but he wasn't too interested, just chatting with the latter without saying a word, and this scene was also captured by the pot-bellied photographer with an old-fashioned camera on the side.
Then, nearly twenty minutes had passed, and Rita Skeeter had not finished her interview with Harry until Dumbledore and the headmasters of the other two schools appeared, and Dumbledore himself opened the door to the broomroom and called the two out.
"Sorry to interrupt,"
Dumbledore smiled at Skeeter, then bowed politely,
"But the wand detection ritual is about to begin, and if one of our warriors hides in the broomroom, the ritual can't take place. โ
With Dumbledore's intervention, Harry immediately couldn't wait to get rid of Skeeter, walked quickly to Qiming's side and sat down, opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Qiming, but Dumbledore had already started.
Allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander. Dumbledore sat down in the referee's box and said to the Warriors, "He's going to check your wand to make sure it's in good shape before the game." โ
Hearing Ollivanders' name, Qiming's eyes lit up.
He had bought a total of two wands from Ollivander, the cursed wand made of phoenix blood, which he had never used, and was lying quietly in his arms at this time.
Immediately, he looked around and saw that an old wizard with two gray-white eyes was standing quietly by the window, and when Dumbledore mentioned his name, the old wizard turned around and walked quickly to the center of the room, standing in front of Qiming and the other four warriors.
