In the Room of Requirement, Ryan looked at the crown in his hand and thought for a moment. Although the above function is a bit of a problem for Ryan, this thing is still a precious artifact, so he needs to weigh up what to do with it.

If you turn it in, you can naturally get a lot of honors, but for Ryan, who plans to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Honor is not very needed for the time being. So Ryan decided to keep it in his possession for the first time, and then take it out when he needed it.

After harvesting the 6 offset points generated by destroying the Horcrux, Ryan left the Room with a smile on his face.

Although the Triwizard Tournament is just around the corner, everyone still needs to go to class as usual. Even because of the upcoming representatives of the other schools in the Triwizard Tournament, each teacher hopes that the students can learn more in a short period of time and avoid losing face in front of the teachers and students of the other two schools.

Even Professor McGonagall, who was not usually very harsh, yelled at the students below when class was about to end. "Longbottom, please, don't show your stuff in front of Durmstrang and let them see that you haven't even mastered a simple transformation charm!"

Of all the classes, Ryan liked Moody's the most, because he didn't seem uneasy about the Triwizard Tournament coming up. After all, he only came to the first-year class, and he was not a resident professor at the school. Besides, Moody has struggled from the death line countless times, and the threat of death can't affect his mentality, and the game naturally can't either. So in these classes, Moody's has been arranging tasks according to his own syllabus:

During these lessons, he turned all the desks and chairs into obstacles, and then put a bunch of puppets in the classroom to imitate the attacking dark wizard for the students to practice in. These puppets only cast a marker magic: a white letter T is projected on the head of the person who is hit.

In the first combat class, Moody gave everyone a dismount: he turned up the difficulty of the puppet formation to the highest. As a result, at the end of the class, most of the students walked out of the classroom door with a capital letter T on their heads, and only Ryan successfully passed the exam with enough practical experience and received the twenty points that Moody added to Gryffindor.

"Ryan, please stay after class. Just as Ryan was packing up and preparing to retreat, Moody stopped Ryan. Ryan had no choice but to say hello to Hermione and follow Moody into his office.

This was also the first time Ryan had entered Professor Defence Against the Dark Arts' office, and when Professor Moody opened the door, Ryan found a large number of bizarre gadgets that Ryan thought Moody had used when he was an Auror.

As Ryan looked at the things, Moody walked in. "You seem to be interested in my stuff. ”

"Yes. Ryan nodded, then pointed to something like a glass spinning top on the table. "I've seen this thing from Harry, it must be a speculum. ”

"Yes, I have a secret detector and a demon mirror. I have all the equipment that an Auror should have. Moody proudly introduced Ryan to a series of equipment in the room, when he suddenly turned to Ryan and asked, "Are you Ryan Liang, a fourth-year student at Gryffindor House at Hogwarts?" ”

Ryan was taken aback, and then replied, "I'm Ryan Leung, a fourth-year Gryffindor at Hogwarts. At this time, Moody glanced at the instruments on the table, and the instruments did not move at all.

"Oh, sorry, it's me allergies. Moody took the flask from his waist and took a sip of it, Ryan's strengthened nose easily sniffing pumpkin juice inside. "Today, seeing that you performed far better than the others in class, I thought you were a dark wizard disguised and assassinated me. ”

Ryan knew how suspicious Moody was at this point. However, in addition to being suspicious, Moody is also a very charismatic person when he is normally, otherwise there would not be such people who admire him. For the next half hour, Moody tells Ryan a lot about his experience as an Auror. In the end, he even told Ryan that his actual combat level was at least the level of those new Aurors after half a year of actual combat, hoping that Ryan could consider becoming an Auror after graduation.

Ryan just smiled politely, it was obvious that Moody thought he was extremely talented in combat, so he wanted him to apply for the Auror job in the future. And the actual situation is that Ryan's ability is cultivated in a lot of actual combat, and his real combat talent is not much stronger than others.

After going out, Ryan felt that the Moody in front of him was more like the real thing, but this was not good news, because it meant that the plot that Ryan knew had changed, and the future began to become chaotic.

It was fast to mid-October. After the first lesson of the week on protecting magical creatures, everyone got the news from the revelation board in the foyer that representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would arrive next Friday.

In this case, the school has been in a state of cleanliness this week, not to mention the dust and cobwebs in the corners, and even the house-elves in the busiest common room are cleaned up several times a day. Not only that, but the armor and portraits in the castle were given a complete overhaul, and after talking to some of the paintings, Ryan learned that the last time such a complete overhaul was more than a century ago.

On the morning of October 30, everyone went downstairs for breakfast to find that the auditorium had been renovated overnight. Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing one of Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, Hufflepuff with a black badger on a yellow background, and Slytherin with a silver python on a green background. Behind the teacher's desk, hung the largest banner with the coat of arms of Hogwarts: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake linked together with a large letter H around it.

Ryan swore it was the most ornately decorated Hogwarts castle he had ever seen since he had enrolled. Even when he sat on the edge of the long table, he could faintly feel the smell of an alchemical product from these banners from a distance.

So when he left the Great Hall, he approached these banners, and it turned out that the banners were indeed alchemical products: each banner was cured with the effect of cleaning and preventing wear and tear, and each banner was no less than three hundred years old.

"It's really the most powerful magic school in Europe, and any thing can reflect an absolutely profound foundation. It is estimated that it will only cost seven or eight silver cedars to buy a new banner of that kind of banner, but the cost after alchemy treatment is more than 20 gold galleons. And the only effect of these alchemical banners is to save face for the school. Ryan now has a deeper understanding of the heritage of Hogwarts.

In addition to this, professors have begun to order prefects and student council presidents to keep an eye on those who usually like to have accidents or mischievous people, so that they do not disgrace the school at the welcome ceremony. For example, the Weasley twins are the focus of attention. Even Ryan saw Professor McGonagall in the hallway and told Barrow the Bloodman to take care of Peeves, and never let him cause trouble today.

In this atmosphere of tension and anticipation, the time for the arrival of the guests has finally arrived.
