"Ivan, what's written on that?" Harry squeezed in with difficulty, but he was not tall and was blocked by the little wizard in front of him, so he couldn't see the details of the announcement.

"It says Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at Hogwarts at six o'clock next Friday evening, and everyone will have to go to the door to meet them." Ivan explained.

"Friday afternoon? Great, the last session should be Potions lesson! Harry's first reaction was that Snape might not have to attend Potions class, which was a blessing for him.

"What about the Warriors, have they already decided?" Ron asked hurriedly.

"I didn't mention it above, I should wait for the trainees from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to arrive and then choose together!" Ivan said casually.

In addition to the few of them, the young wizards gathered around the neighborhood were also discussing the topic, arguing about who would be the champion to represent Hogwarts.

The young wizards of each academy wanted someone from their academy to be elected, and some of the senior students were wondering how to get this qualification.

The most talked about is Cedric of Hufflepuff House.

As for Ivan? Although he has been outstanding every school year and has made some big news from time to time, Dumbledore's age limit is there, and most young wizards don't want to believe that Ivan can find a way to crack it.

Otherwise, what warriors would they choose? Let's just wash up and go to sleep...

Because of the notice that appeared in the foyer, the campus became very lively in the next few days, and the Triwizard Tournament has become a hot topic, and everyone is talking about it after dinner.

Even the interior of the castle has begun a new round of decoration, which is even grander than when Ivan received the Order of Merlin!

The dusty portraits, which had not been touched for hundreds of years, were removed one after another, and they were not rehung until they were wiped clean and there was not a single trace of dust visible.

The armor placed in the corridor was also polished one by one, and almost all of them could be used as mirrors.

The Great Hall, which served as the reception venue, was even more renovated, with huge silk banners hanging on the walls, flags of the four major academies flying high above, and traces of magic could be seen everywhere.

The rest of the staff and professors were also nervous, and they regulated the way each student dressed, and if anyone looked sloppy, they would be grabbed and scolded by Filch.

Naturally, all of this was done to welcome the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students, and every professor did not want to lose face at Hogwarts in front of the staff and students of the other schools.

During the final Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall had a rare outburst when Neville inadvertently grafted his ear onto a cactus while practicing the Transfiguration Charm.

"You should look at Hals, this simple spell, he learned it in the first grade!

I don't expect you to be like him, but I beg you to work harder, and don't show yourself in front of Durmstrang and show them that a fourth-grader can't even learn the most basic transformation spells! ”

Professor McGonagall roared so loudly that she nearly knocked Neville to tears.

After the class ended, Professor McGonagall asked Ivan to stay.

"What a pity, Hals! You're probably the best student Hogwarts has ever had, and if you didn't have that age limit, you'd be a warrior and bring glory to Hogwarts! Professor McGonagall looked at Ivan and said with emotion.

"Professor, are you in favor of me participating?" Ivan looked at her in surprise, surprised why McGonagall, who had always been old-fashioned, would hint at encouraging her to compete.

"If you can, why not?" Professor McGonagall smiled, although she didn't know Ivan's strength, she did know a rough idea.

The triwizard tournament was not a danger to Ivan, and she certainly had no worries.

On the contrary, McGonagall believes that as long as Ivan is chosen, there will be no suspense about the victory or defeat of the Triwizard Tournament, let alone his peers, even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic may not be Ivan's opponent.

What's more, apart from Ivan, there are really no senior students in Gryffindor House who can do it.

McGonagall didn't want the other houses to get a head start, and she didn't want to see Hogwarts lose.

The three major European colleges have been fighting for hundreds of years, and everyone wants their school to be the first in Europe!

If Ivan could find a way to throw his name into the Goblet of Fire by crossing the age limit, she believed Headmaster Dumbledore would turn one eye open and one eye closed.

"The idea of setting an age limit this time was jointly proposed by Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and it may not be for you! ”麦格颇有些不满的说道。

Ivan touched his nose and didn't answer, he didn't think it should be so exaggerated.

There was no him in the original time and space, but the Triwizard Tournament still had this limitation, which shows that the original intention was indeed for the safety of junior wizards and to avoid casualties caused by the lack of strength of the contestants.

However, from an outsider's point of view, the meaning of targeting oneself is obvious.

"Anyway, you can come to me if you have any questions!" Professor McGonagall patted Ivan on the shoulder, said cryptically, and then packed up her teaching aids and left the classroom.

Ivan, who stayed behind, had a very strange expression, and he muttered to himself. "So, I'm also cheating?"

Thinking of this, Ivan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, at least he didn't need to worry about Dumbledore going to find trouble for himself after crossing the age line and successfully running for the election.

Out of the classroom door, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were waiting for him in the hallway.

"Ivan, what did Professor McGonagall just tell you?" Hermione asked, holding the book in her arms.

"It's some high-end Transfiguration Charm, you know, the knowledge in the classroom is of little use to me." Ivan said in a daze, not revealing the meaning, he was worried that Ron's big mouth would say it.

……

Time passed, and soon it was the 30th of October as agreed.

Everyone in Hogwarts waited eagerly for Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to arrive, and they didn't even pay attention to the lesson, and the little wizards sitting by the window frequently looked out the window, but there was nothing there.

To Harry's disappointment, Snape's Potions class continued as usual, with the only difference being that the class ended half an hour earlier, allowing them to leave earlier and suffer less.

After the bell rang for the end of class, the little wizards were so excited that they rushed back to the lounge as fast as they could, put their things away, and lined up to wait in the foyer together.
