Chapter 103: The Real Rich Woman (Thanks to the "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year LV" boss for his 10,000-dollar reward!) )
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are arriving at Hogwarts.
The most obvious effect of this incident was that the school suddenly ...... Cleans up a lot.
Hogwarts used to be very clean, but that cleanliness was limited to the castle and the tables.
This time it was different, even the portraits were thoroughly washed.
Not only were they clean, but they also put on new robes, not the same clothes that looked tattered before.
The fat lady wore her red floor-length dress.
According to her, this dress was specially used by her to match Gryffindor back then.
Gryffindor, that mature old man...... I love the way she looks in this red gown.
The fat lady also claimed that she hadn't worn it since he left school.
This old man with no conscience...... After all, it was a mistake.
I didn't expect Gryffindor to like this kind of tone, no wonder the fat lady has been the doorman of their academy.
All kinds of dust-stained armor have also become shiny and shiny, and when they move, they no longer crunch.
The school is finally willing to pay for some lube, and I don't know where Professor McGonagall has spent all the money he has saved over the years.
You know, when William came, the broom was still an old antique twenty or thirty years ago.
In order to prevent Peeves from mischievous at a critical moment, the ghosts also urgently convened an enlarged meeting of the ghosts.
With the consent of Barrow the Bloody, Peeves is allowed to attend the opening dinner next year.
Peeves are generally not allowed to attend the opening party. But if you can't participate this time, you have to participate.
On the first day of school this year, Peeves, who was denied a dinner party, went to the kitchen and wreaked havoc, spilling soup everywhere.
If you don't satisfy him at this time, will you wait for the two schools to come and let him destroy everywhere?
The faculty and staff were also nervous.
Filch took Lady Loris and Miss Alice around the castle all day.
When he saw a student soiling the floor, he was furious.
He also advised the principal to implement a health plan. To sum it up:
There can be no garbage in the trash can, and there can be no things on the table.
Students are not allowed to stay in dormitories and lounges, but are required to stay in the library.
This kind of anti-human regulation has been unanimously opposed by everyone.
Especially Mrs. Pince. Good guy, she doesn't like school in the library, and you still propose it!
The two used to have a good relationship, and there were scandals for a while.
Now the ambiguous boat will capsize.
Professor McGonagall's temper also became more and more irritable, and in one class, she harshly criticized:
"McLagan, please, don't show your stuff in front of the Beauxbatons students.
Otherwise, they will see that with your level of Transfiguration, you can only use . Get a T on the exam! ”
The lesson didn't go well, and McLagan grafted Eloise's ear onto a cactus.
And the meaning of T is troll.
Professor Snape also stepped up his taunts, hoping that Neville would take a long sick leave during the game.
That way, you won't be ridiculed by other schools because of the explosion of the crucible.
However, the strictness of the teacher did not stop the enthusiasm of the students.
The boys are dressed in the cleanest robes, and the girls are trying to dress up.
It seems that this is not a triwizard tournament, but a large-scale blind date meeting.
On the morning of October 30, the auditorium was renovated overnight, as if it were Christmas.
Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing one of Hogwarts' houses.
The Ravenclaw flag, designed by Professor Flitwick himself, with a bronze eagle on a blue background, looks sassy.
In the morning, William and Hermione had just taken their seats at the Ravenclaw table when the twins came together.
Fred said mysteriously, "We've made an age-booster...... In what way would Dumbledore prevent minors from approaching the Goblet of Fire? ”
In the Goblet of Fire selection, William had already told the twins and Cedric about them.
But how Dumbledore kept underage wizards from approaching, he really didn't know.
"I just don't know it works?" George said. "Maybe we can give Ron a try, he's got our salary right now."
He suddenly shut up.
Harry and Ron got up from the Gryffindor table and were already walking this way.
"What salary?" Ron said, sitting down next to them.
"Your salary...... We may be running out of money to send it. Fred digressed.
"Don't......" Ron frothed.
You can't stop working like this.
"Do you have a handle on the Triwizard Tournament?" Harry asked, "How do you get in?" ”
"It's still under consideration, and there are several options." Fred said.
Ron was a little moved, as long as there was a way. He might be able to participate.
"I don't know what the tournament is?" "You know what, I bet we can do it too, Harry.
We've done such dangerous things before, Professor McGonagall just needs to give us a chance......"
"What dangerous things have you done, Weasley?" A cold voice suddenly came.
Ron went limped in fear and fell into Harry's arms.
"I'm really curious, what are the things that can make you so inflated and blindly overestimate your strength?" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.
Ron opened his mouth, but was speechless.
1st Grade Pass Wizard Chess? Well, the twins they have been loitering around the restricted area on the fourth floor for a long time.
Second grade controlled by a diary? 3rd grade controlled by Peter?
It's all dangerous. But he's never done anything.
"If you can do my task like Miss Granger in every class, you'll be blessed by Merlin!"
Professor McGonagall glanced coldly at Ron and said softly:
"Come on, Mr. Stark, Mr. Crouch, and Bagman are all waiting. Did you bring something? ”
William nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, followed Professor McGonagall towards the Headmaster's office.
When he entered the principal's office, the portrait of the principal on the wall all turned to look at him.
Ludo Bagman stood up and walked over, grabbed his arm enthusiastically, and said with a smile:
"William, long time no see!" He squeezed William's arm vigorously and whispered.
Ludo didn't look very good, he was a lot haggard, and his hair was gray.
Barty Crouch was also there, sitting outside the aperture of the fire, his face half hidden in the shadows.
He looked a little weird, the dark shadow on his side made him look much older, and he looked a little like a skeleton.
"Long time no see, Mr. Stark."
Dumbledore sat behind the table, crossed his hands, and smiled, "William, has the Goblet of Fire been brought?" ”
William pulled out a wooden box from the safety watch and handed it to Dumbledore.
Ludo's gaze kept on the wooden box. It seems to be an old antique that can be sold for money.
After Dumbledore checked it, he smiled, "It's the Goblet of Fire, it's intact." ”
"Then I'll go back first."
William walked out of the principal's office, but Ludo followed.
"William, is that Goblet of Fire already yours?" Ludo asked, squinting. "I heard Barty say that you've been with you all summer."
"It can't be considered mine, the Venetian Ministry of Magic has only lent it to me temporarily." William mumbled.
"That's right." Ludo groaned, and hurriedly asked, "William, ...... you Whether to participate in this contest or not. ”
He lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "The two of us can make a game and make a bet with those goblins...... Sure, believe me! ”
Ludo already looks like a gambler, and it seems that he really can't afford to pay off the Garon he owes the goblins.
Walking into the auditorium, Ludo saw the twins, then turned and ran. It's like Ron, who didn't pay his debt that day.
The twins hurriedly chased after them.
"What's going on with them?" Hermione, who was still waiting for William to have breakfast together, asked suspiciously.
On the night of the final, Ludo borrowed money from the elves to sit in the bank. George and Fred crushed Ireland to win, and Bulgaria caught the Golden Snitch. William explained.
"If Ludo loses, he will pay it back with the leprechaun's gold coins. Now I'm being collected by the twins. ”
Hermione was also speechless.
This Ludo is really unreliable.
……
……
The twins didn't catch up with Ludo until the evening, and he slipped away.
This makes them both angry and decide to take extreme measures and violently collect debts.
William didn't care, he still had to teach the fourth graders the ancient magic script.
However, the students were clearly in a state of euphoria, and William casually demonstrated some spells and let them study on their own.
Serious work is labor in exchange for pay, and going to work is to make money from the school manager.
What's wrong with William taking a poor Xike every month and touching a class of fishing?
In fact, it was William who learned from Professor Snape.
He attends classes every day and barely explains textbooks. Get out the process of boiling a potion, and let everyone follow the steps to make it themselves.
Is there a teacher who is more watery than this?
William was still learning, not even the edge of Professor Snape's essence.
In the evening, when the bell rang, all the students came to the door in order.
The deans and prefects of the college are directing the students of each college to line up.
The Ravenclaw décor is all normal, except for Luna...... Wearing a silver glittering dress.
The dress seemed to be made of mirrors, reflecting a colorful glow.
Luna also wears radish earrings that hang from her earlobes.
Professor Flitwick was happily complimenting her, and she was wearing a beautiful dress.
As prefects, William and Cho stood on the side of the crowd and looked into the distance.
Qiu glanced at the time and said, "It should have arrived...... How did they get here, on the express train? ”
William shook his head and said, "Beauxbatons should be able to ride in the carriage, and Madame Maxim has a herd of rune horses. ”
As soon as his words fell, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row, shouted.
"Ahh If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' representatives have arrived! ”
"Where?" Many students asked eagerly, looking in different directions.
I saw a behemoth, rapidly skimming across the deep blue sky, flying towards the castle, gradually getting bigger and bigger.
It was a huge powder-blue carriage with twelve orange glass lamps hanging from it.
Twelve winged rune horses, pulling it into the air.
Under the neck of each rune horse, there is a string of bells.
The breeze blows, and the bells emit a crisp melody, like the song of a beautiful baby, which is intoxicating.
All the students widened their eyes, stunned by the luxurious carriage.
is worthy of Madame Maxim, what a pompous person.
This is the real rich woman.
……
