There has not been a moment of silence since Headmaster Dumbledore announced and explained the matters and precautions of the Triwizard Tournament at the end of the dinner last night, and placed the trophy that burned with a magical flame, the 'Goblet of Fire', in the foyer of the Great Hall so that all students willing to represent their schools could reach it, and threw the parchment with their names written on it into its flames to participate in the campaign, until noon today.

Countless students who wanted to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, whether out of curiosity or confidence in their abilities, came here without exception, either openly or surreptitiously, and then threw the parchment with their names written on it into the Goblet of Fire, causing the parchment to turn to ashes in the flames of magic, becoming one of the many candidates for the Triwizard Tournament.

And then

Of course, in addition to those confident and brave students, there must be those who are not old enough and have to make up the numbers.

However, it was lunch time, and there were actually very few people in the foyer of the Great Hall......

Since most of the people had already gone to lunch, and those who wanted to participate in the Triwizard Tournament had already signed up last night or morning, plus tonight was Halloween, and the winners of the three schools would be announced at that time, so the only people who had come here to sign up until now were a few sneaky 'ulterior motives' and a few reserved guys.

For example, earlier, two twin brothers who hurriedly left the scene with their chin covered and ridiculed by everyone, the George and Fred who liked to be funny and sell strange things? Of course, there must be some junior students who were directly bounced off by the age line of the Goblet of Fire.

After all, according to the age line set by Headmaster Dumbledore and surrounding the Goblet of Fire, students who are not old enough are definitely not qualified to participate in that dangerous Triwizard Tournament, and not being old enough means that they have not learned enough magic and mastered relevant knowledge, so they will definitely not be able to deal with the difficulties that arise in the Triwizard Tournament freely...... Anyway, Triwizard Tournament is not a game, once you make a mistake in the process of the game, the most serious situation will really be directly fatal, and it is not something that can be joked about casually!

This is not?

'Uh-ah......'

With a miserable scream, the foyer was silent for a short time, and then suddenly there was a commotion again!

Sounds like some guy tried to sign up for the violation and was relentlessly bounced off by the Goblet of Fire's age line?

'Huh! Is he okay? ’

'It's okay! But it's certainly not going to be too good......

I'll just say, he's only in the fourth grade, how can he qualify? I know him, he's Fred and George's younger brother, hasn't he learned the lessons of his older brothers? ’

'I don't know ......'

'Alright, it's not too early, let's go back quickly.' ’

Also, it's time to eat, I'm starving. ’

'Let's go......

However, after a burst of commotion and gloating laughter, it may have been since it was the time of lunch, so the place finally quieted down.

Anyway, that kind of thing has happened many times since last night, and many of the students at Hogwarts don't heed the headmaster's warnings...... So, they just laughed at it now, and didn't take it too seriously to the kind of things they had seen so many times.

‘……’

'Damn!! ’

When the people in the hallway were gone, one of the creatures who had just been bounced off got up again and tried several times, but when he found that there was no way to throw the parchment with his name on it into the goblet of fire, he finally tore the paper in frustration, crumpled it up, and threw it into the paper basket beside him.

'Hiss......'

'It hurts......

The boy who was ridiculed for not being able to sign up was Ron!

He touched his cheek, and found that his face seemed to have just scratched him due to the wrong posture of landing, and while he was annoyed in his heart, he could only take one last look at the Goblet of Fire and the age line around it, and then turned around in despair, and walked briskly out of the hallway.

He had to get out of here as soon as possible before more people came to the foyer of the Great Hall and saw his embarrassment, or he would be laughed at again!

Although, he is not the first, nor will he be the last, to try to sign up...... However, the less people know about fighting with his brothers, and then running to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament and being rejected by the Goblet of Fire, the better.

‘……’

'Hey! Hermione, what a great day! ’

'We just had a big dinner last night, but it happens that it's Halloween again, and I just saw Hagrid, who is directing several wagons to bring in a lot of super pumpkins, so I guess tonight's dish will be very rich, right?' ’

'Harry......'

I don't think there's anything to look forward to, the Hogwarts house-elves just had a busy day yesterday and are going to prepare us for Halloween dinner today, and that kind of thing isn't fair to them at all!' ’

'Huh? ’

'But Hermione, the house-elves are happy to do that......

'No! Harry! ’

You're not them, how do you know they're willing to do that?' You look at them, they're all skinny like that, they don't have a paycheck, they don't have holidays, they don't have new clothes, they don't even care about how they feel!! ’

'But ......'

'Hermione, you're not a house-elf either, how do you know they're not happy?' Maybe they like to work in the first place......

'Also, they really don't like new clothes......

The two of them walked towards each other from a distance, and then talked about something at the same time, and soon, after Harry's last retort with a little bit of confidence, the two of them finally reached the foyer of the Great Hall, and saw a slightly embarrassed figure rushing out of the foyer, almost bumping into them who had just passed by.

"Ahh

"Ahh You...... Ron?! ”

Apparently, Harry and Hermione were taken aback by each other's sudden rush out, and as they exclaimed, they hurriedly reached out to help each other who looked a little embarrassed before the other almost hit the guardrail of the hallway.

"Ron, what are you doing here?"

Harry was a little strange, he and Hermione had just gone to dinner, and he hadn't seen Ron, and he had always been a little strange in his heart, but who would have thought that the other party would hide here?

However, what made Harry a little puzzled was that the other party didn't go to eat at lunch time as usual, but he came here, what kind of trouble was this?

"I said Ron, you're ......"

"Wait!"

"Strange, you just came out of the foyer...... Yes! I think I know, you actually signed up for the Goblet of Fire, are you really crazy?! ”

"You just fell on the face?"

Hermione and Harry looked at each other and exclaimed.

Because, the two of them saw Ron's gray face, and his face was even bruised, it looked red, and it seemed to be broken, and then think about what was in this hallway, and the similar situation they saw this morning, where did they not know what the other party did when they didn't go to dinner and hide here?!

Obviously, Ron must have signed up for the competition, and the result is self-evident, and the injury on the other party's face speaks for itself.

"I'm not crazy!"

"I ...... I just want to try it, but it doesn't matter if I try it......"

Ron opened Hermione's hand to check his face, refusing to allow the other to check the injuries on his face.

Because he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, at most he just scratched his skin a little, and he felt a faint tingling...... Later, he immediately went to Madam Pomfrey's place and asked the other party for some potions to apply it, it shouldn't be a big deal, so he didn't need to be embarrassed in front of these two friends!

Besides, he's not the worst.

In fact, many of the current Hogwarts students are like him, all of them were injured and injured by the protective magic of the Goblet of Fire after going to vote, which is really not surprising...... And his two twin brothers, George and Fred, Ron, were even worse, they each used a drop of age-enhancing potion to fool the Goblet of Fire, but now they are still full of goats and white beards, and even Ms. Pomfrey has no good way to do it, so she can only wait for the effect of the medicine to disappear by herself, and she doesn't know how long she will be ridiculed, let alone when she will be able to get rid of her beard!

'Hey......'

"Ron, you really dare to think and do......"

Hearing that the other party had really hurt that face because of the illegal registration, Hermione sighed and shook her head.

You know, this friend of theirs, Ron's ability, she and Harry both know it very well, and now even Hermione herself doesn't dare to sign up, and Harry is even more the same, and how dare he Ron do that?

That's a mess......

'Hey! ’

'Hey! How are you Harry and Hermione? ’

'Huh? Ron, what's wrong with your face? ’

At this time, twin sisters Parvati Petyr and Padma Petyr walked over with a smile and a smile, and after they first greeted Harry and Hermione, they looked at Ron who was hiding with curious eyes and asked strangely.

Because they saw that the other party was hiding it, and it seemed that their faces were injured?

'No..... not ......'

"I ...... I accidentally fell and the road was slippery, so ...... Wait, what are you guys going to do?! ”

Ron was vague for a moment, then quickly changed the subject and asked rhetorically.

"Why are you all ......?"

Because he noticed that whether it was Harry or Hermione, or the two sisters Padma and Parvati Petyr, who had just arrived, they and many more students seemed to be walking this way, and they all had notebooks in their hands?

This kind of thing struck Ron as weird......

Because he knew that it was just past lunchtime, it should be free time for the lunch break, and he had chosen to sneak here when there were few people here now, intending to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament with the Goblet of Fire...... But right now, why are so many people hurrying towards this side?

Could it be that they, like Ron, want to sign up?

In that case, he could responsibly tell them that Dumbledore's age line and protective magic worked, and if they dared to come closer, they would be bounced out before they could throw their names into the Goblet of Fire!

And ah, it was useless to throw it far away, because the Goblet of Fire would also spit out the parchment with the name written on it, and he had tried many ways he could think of it, and the end result was the same.

Of course we're going to take a spot! ’

'Ahh ’

'Parvati, don't talk about it yet, let's hurry, if we go late, the good position will be occupied by someone else......

'Sorry, we went first!' ’

After speaking, the faces of the two twin sisters changed in unison, and after thinking of something, they hurriedly said to the three of them for mercy, and then hurriedly walked away hand in hand, and continued to trot forward.

“……”

"What position?"

Ron was still puzzled, because it was Halloween and there were no classes in the afternoon, so he didn't know which seat the two were going to occupy. Besides, even if you have to go to class, there will definitely be no shortage of seats, at most, it is just that the rest of the seats are not good because you go late?

For example, if the seat is too far forward, it is easy for the professors to find out and name when you make small movements or distract yourself?

"Oops!"

"Hurry up! Harry, and Ron, let's hurry up too!! ”

Finally, after seeing the back of the twin sisters leaving in a hurry, Hermione was also frightened and exclaimed on the spot, and then hurriedly didn't bother to say more, and directly greeted Harry and Ron, and ran briskly forward directly.

"Hey!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Seeing that Harry and Hermione were like that, the confused Ron could only follow curiously, planning to go to Madam Pomfrey later to help him look at the wound on his face.

"Professor Anne's public class, of course!!"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, so we're going to get a good spot now, and if we're late, we'll probably have to stand in the aisle......"

"You should have an impression of Ron, how popular Professor Anne's public class is!"

After saying that, Harry didn't explain any more, and directly left the slow Ron, and walked forward briskly by himself, chasing Hermione who had already turned the corner.

As Harry had seen, at least a few of the students had just walked in the direction of the large classroom in front of them, and if they were too late, they wouldn't have a good spot.

"Huh?"

"That Professor Anne, is she really starting classes again? When did it happen, how did I not know at all?! ”

After exclaiming, Ron hurriedly ran forward, and at the same time, he also said with some doubts in his heart, why did he not know anything about such an important matter? When was he left out of mainstream Hogwarts again?!

"Just now!"

"While we were eating, Professor Anne suddenly magically wrote that notice at the entrance of the cafeteria! I guess maybe not many people know about it now? ”

"So Ron, we have to hurry!!"

Harry chased after him, explaining without looking back.

Hermione was right, they had to hurry, or it would be too late by the time more of the students came to their senses! Moreover, this time, there may not be a headmaster with two positions in the ass to reserve a place for him, and he can't pin all his hopes on others!

And besides, it's just a matter of taking a position, and you can go first after occupying it, and it doesn't take much effort, and there is no need to trouble Professor Dumbledore who he respects for such small things.

"Hey!"

"Harry, you wait for me first......"

Ron was just about to run after him, but he had to quickly pull up the robe of his school uniform to cover his face.

Because he saw that one of the guys he hated the most, the Slytherin Dark Wizards Malfoy and Goyle, was walking from the other side at this time, and it seemed that they had already taken their place?

‘！！ ’

'Huh? ’

'Aha! Goyle, look, that Weasley guy, that Ron, what's wrong with that? ’

'Hey!! ’

'Look, tsk, look at that face of him, it can't be dropped when he went to sign up for the Goblet of Fire, right?' ’

Draco Malfoy knew that at the front of the road was the foyer of the Great Hall where the Goblet of Fire was placed, and at this time, this nemesis Ron happened to be here, and there were fresh scars on his face, so it was not too difficult to guess why the other party was injured.

'Definitely! I've fallen a lot of people today! ’

'Hah! Even an idiot like him wants to be a Hogwarts warrior, is it April Fool's Day? ’

'He's stupid......'

'Hahaha......'

The Slytherins, who had guessed the reason from Ron's embarrassment in a few words, began to stand in the hallway, blocking Ron and laughing unscrupulously.

It's a pity that there aren't too many students here, and a few who occasionally come over also hurriedly glance at them and then rush to the front, without stopping to watch, making their behavior of laughing at their opponents a lot more boring.

"Get out of the way!!"

Ron, who didn't want to stay here for a moment, was annoyed in his heart, so he covered his head and roared angrily, and then brutally rushed directly past the people who were coming on the opposite side, and after stopping and looking at Harry worried before the turn, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the large classroom.

As for the unbridled ridicule behind him, what could he do but curse a few words in his heart? Anyway, he's used to it, as long as he goes to Madam Pomfrey and erases the evidence on his face later, and as for the rest, leave it alone!

After all, today and last night, Ron was not the only one who was injured by the Goblet of Fire, so he wouldn't be afraid of being ridiculed by those little snakes who had no guts! Besides, it's not the first time he's been ridiculed, so what can they do with him?

——————————

Tucked away in the heart of London, Diagon Alley, the wizarding market of the British wizarding world, is still as busy as ever......

Because today is Halloween, wizards dressed in different costumes are walking through this not too long street with all kinds of strange magical artifacts and magical animals to buy the holiday items they need. But it still seems a little bit worse than the buzz of Diagon Alley's busiest days, when Hogwarts students had to do a lot of shopping in the days leading up to the start of school.

At this time, in the overturned alley adjacent to Diagon Alley, the person is that lifeless......

However, if you think that Tumbledown Alley is sparsely populated and there is no business to be done, then you are very wrong!

You know, Tumbledown Alley is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is the black market of British magic, and it is not as simple as it seems. Because, the business of a random and inconspicuous shop here is likely to be the sum of the turnover of the regular shops in the diagon alley outside for several months, or even more?

At this time, in a small shop in the Tumbledown Alley with a 'temporarily closed' sign, an old man with a shimmering spirit was quietly talking to a wizard who had sneaked in the door and entered, and his whole body was shrouded in black robes.

'What's wrong?' ’

'Why did you come to me today, what the hell happened?' ’

The old man first looked warily outside the shop, then took out his wand and tapped the doors and windows lightly, causing a layer of black mud-like things to slowly flow down from the eaves, and when they completely sealed the doors and windows and emitted a misty black mist, he turned around and asked the middle-aged wizard who had just taken off his hood.

'Boss! It's not good, we seem to be being targeted by the Aurors! ’

As soon as he opened his mouth, the words of the visiting middle-aged wizard startled the old man who had just taken measures to keep it secret.

'Where's the Auror?' ’

'Is it North America, or Europe, or our British Ministry of Magic?!' ’

It may be that the business has touched too many places, so the old man was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't come back to his senses all at once.

'Both!! ’

The Magical Congress of the United States and the French Ministry of Magic have informed Barty Crouch that his director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation has conveyed it to the Auror Office, and the cooperation has now been reached! ’

'Boss! ’

'They're in big trouble this time, and if they stop now, might it be too late?' ’

Obviously, the middle-aged wizard looked a little irritable, but he had to patiently advise the old wizard.

‘……’

'How do you know?' ’

The old man thought it was a little strange, because he didn't hear any wind...... Moreover, the cargo at sea is still safe and has not received a signal to be intercepted.

'Someone from the Ministry of Magic sent me a message today, saying that the United States is asking them to cooperate with the investigation?' And they promised! ’

'Rufus Scrimgeur's temperament is well known, and although they demanded strict secrecy and took action, they wouldn't have imagined that my friend was an Auror and had already sent me a message and informed me all of it......

'Boss? ’

'Why don't we give up those goods for the time being, and let them get out of the way?' ’

Speaking of which, after explaining the matter to the same extent, in this small shop shrouded in black fog, the middle-aged wizard once again persuaded the old wizard.

‘……’

"It seems that it is really a big move, if you don't come, I'm afraid I won't receive any news......

The old wizard didn't rush to respond to his subordinate, but he didn't know what kind of mentality he was laughing and sighing with some emotion.

'Boss?! ’

The middle-aged wizard asked again, and it was clear that he seemed to be a little impatient!

After all, whoever knew that the Aurors of several nations had joined forces and had their eyes on the cargo at sea, and were ready to find out their heads, he would not be able to calm down! Anyway, they are all just for the Golden Galleons, and they are not outlaws like those Death Eaters, how can they openly fight with the Ministry of Magic, or even the Ministries of Magic of several countries?

Therefore, the best thing to do now is to quickly stop the loss and get out of the way, cut off all the clues, and stop for a while, and the matter will end with the smuggling ship!

‘……’

'I'm afraid not!' ’

That's a huge long-term order, you know, that money alone is enough for us to spend hundreds of years, can you live another hundred years? ’

'Hum ......'

What's more, it's the one who ordered, what are we afraid of? ’

Although the dark wizard didn't know the proverb 'the tall man is on top when the sky falls', he still knew the meaning, and that was that someone would clean up the mess for them, and when the time came, they would just deliver the goods and hug the big man's thigh!

Of course, they can also take the money and hand over the goods and just run away, leaving the buyer to the Ministry of Magic?

However, that was the last choice, and he would definitely not do that unless he was forced to do so, after all, it was a long-term huge order, and no one would have a hard time with Jin Garon, and it was just the beginning, and he didn't want to cut off his financial route.

'This ......'

'What do you mean......

Obviously, the old wizard's words moved the middle-aged wizard, who had already been persuaded and shaken by the other party.

'Humph! ’

Let's just don't know for the time being, and wait for the goods to be shipped ashore!" ’

"Since they chose to cooperate and did not intercept our goods on the spot, it proves that we still have a few days to think of a good way......

Obviously, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic must have only been eyeing that ship now, so they still have a chance, as long as they operate it well, they can both make money and completely protect themselves. When the time comes, won't the sky be the pursuit of a hundred and ten Aurors?

He believed that the big man would definitely not give up the goods, and he would definitely help them! So now, what they have to do is to protect themselves and continue to hide their identities.

It's just that the line on the North American side may not be able to be used in the future, and this time the action is indeed a little too big, which is also inevitable...... However, this kind of thing is not in a hurry for the time being, everything can be reorganized after the limelight has passed.

'Yes......'

'Then I'll go back first?' ’

The middle-aged wizard saw that the other party had made up his mind, and after thinking about it, he could only grit his teeth and nod, and prepared to stand up and leave.

'Wait! ’

'Here's two hundred gold gallons, take them to that friend in the Ministry of Magic first!' Tell him to keep the information flowing, and after the matter is completed, it will inevitably have his benefits! ’

'This is another two hundred gold galleons, which will be used as your activity fund for the time being. ’

Suddenly, the old wizard stopped the other party, then reached out and touched his counter a few times, and after a long time, he took out two large pockets and threw them directly to the other party.

'Understood! What else do you command? ’

The middle-aged wizard put on his hood, hid himself in the dark, and put away the two bags before finally asking.

'No, go back!' ’

The old wizard waved his hand, not wanting to say more, and at the same time stretched out his wand, and after a small bolt of lightning spewed out from the head of the wand and struck the thing that emitted black mist like black mud, they automatically and slowly shrank onto the eaves?

'Then I'll go first......

The middle-aged wizard didn't dare to stay any longer, and with a direct push, he walked out of the small shop in the Tumbledown Alley, letting the small 'temporarily closed' tag behind him 'rattle' on the dilapidated doorknob.

'Uh-huh-huh-......'

After sending the guy away, the old wizard snorted coldly a few times, then slowly got up, paced to the door, and took the small sign away.

After all, business still has to be done, and no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still a piece of meat, isn't it?

As for what just happened......

He didn't care too much, because he believed that it wouldn't be long before the Ministry of Magic would be held back by something more important! At that time, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic probably won't have the heart to care about them anymore.

After all, their level of harm is very low, compared to some evil 'dark wizards', at least they do not endanger the peace of the wizarding world and the authority of the Ministry of Magic, right?

——————————

Ding Ding Dong~!?

On Halloween afternoon, as Filch rang the bell, the second magical open class taught by a young girl from Hogwarts finally started again!

As the bell rang, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and Flitwick and other professors, who were finally late, had to be embarrassed to find that this time, the large classroom did not seem to be enough, because the students had already filled all the seats at this time, and even the aisles were full, and no one had thought of preparing a few seats for them as professors.

‘……’

‘……’

Seeing this, Snape, McGonagall, and Flitsch and the other professors looked at each other helplessly, and then walked directly to the other side of the podium, ready to stand and listen to a lecture like that?

Although they thought about using a spell to conjure up chairs, at this time, when the classroom was crowded and the space was extremely limited, the chairs still took up too much space, so it was better to simply stand.

“…….”

Headmaster Dumbledore, however, didn't intend to stop standing like Snape.

So, his deep, shiny presbyopia eyes looked left and right, and when he saw that there were no empty places, he had to sweep his gaze to the students in the front row, and quickly locked onto the Weasley kid sitting next to Harry and Hermione in the middle of the front row.

That position is so good, if you don't give him the old man Headmaster Dumbledore to sit in, I'm afraid everyone will have a good conscience, right?

So, under the surprised gazes of Snape and the other professors standing opposite, he walked directly towards the Weasley boy.

"Ahem!"

"Ron-san......"

"Excuse me, can you give me a place for this old man? I think you know, I'm a very old man, and my legs and feet are a little less dexterous, and I can't stand as long as you young people......"

This is also something that cannot be helped, because no one expected that this time, there will be no one to reserve a place for the professors...... So, if he didn't want to stand aside like Snape and the others and stand for a lesson, what could he do but get the idea of his own students?

You know, he is not only the head of the school, but also an old man in his hundreds, can the children of the Weasleys still bear to watch and dare not give him a place? Besides, who let the other party occupy this position so well, but it is the front row and the middle position?!

"Huh?"

"This ......"

I never thought that I was sitting down well, but now, I was asked by the Headmaster Dumbledore in front of me to make such a non-centrific request? You know, this time, he finally grabbed the position!

“……”

"Okay, okay...... Professor Dumbledore, may you be seated? ”

There was no way, looking left and right, it seemed that there was really no other position, at this time almost all the classmates looked at themselves, and Dumbledore deliberately called his name, there was no way, Ron had to pretend to be generous and a little aggrieved to stand up and give way to the other party.

Then, with a bitter face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, he walked over to Professor Snape, who was staring at him with a dark face.

The other party is the Headmaster, it is Dumbledore, and he also named himself, what else can he do? If he dared not give up his seat to Headmaster Dumbledore, he would definitely receive several yelling letters from his mother Molly tomorrow, right?

That kind of thing, I think it will be!!

He could even make up for his mother's shouting letters, like, 'Ron, you've let me down so much, you dare not give up your seat to the principal, you Weasley scum, morally degraded person, scum...... and so on?'

"Thank you very much!"

Anyway, he was very old and didn't have many years to live, so Dumbledore felt that it was useless to keep his face, so after nodding and thanking Ron who was standing aside with a smile, he completely ignored whether the students would have any opinions, or the kind of sneering glance that Snape had cast at him, and sat down in the best position in the middle of the front row where Ron had just sat and was still a little warm.

"Hello, Miss Granger, and Harry, nice to meet you?"

After sitting down, Dumbledore felt that the position was comfortable, so he lowered his head, nodded and smiled at Harry and Hermione, who were sitting side by side to his left.

Sure enough, there's nothing more comfortable than being able to sit comfortably and listen to someone else's lecture...... You know, after so many years of being a professor and headmaster, he Dumbledore didn't have many opportunities to sit in class and listen to other people's lectures.

'Hello, Professor Dumbledore! ’

'Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore......

Glancing at the poor Ron in the distance, Harry and Hermione glanced at each other and threw a helpless look at each other before turning their heads and reluctantly saying hello to some disrespectful old fellow.

Seriously, they really think that Ron is quite unlucky today, first failed to sign up, and then was ridiculed by Malfoy's group for a long time, and now he finally occupies a good position in the front row, but he is asked by Headmaster Dumbledore?

That's a ......

What else can the two of them say?!

Swish!!

Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, with a flash of blue magic light, a professor who everyone thought was going to be late actually arrived in the classroom on time with a magic similar to the illusion shift not long after the class bell rang?

"Hi~!"

()

"Good afternoon, everyone~!"

(???? -)?

Yes, Anne arrived on time and was ready to start her second open class at Hogwarts, and it wasn't a surprise why she was so punctual today.

? Huh?

"Now the class begins, and I'm here today, I'm going to explain to you a very amazing magic directly, and its name is -"

(*^▽^*)

"Barrier!!"

(^_?) ☆

After speaking, going straight to the topic, little Annie, who was not at all long-winded, stretched out her little finger and tapped it in the air of the large classroom, and rows of words composed of flames or appeared on it, and made sure that all the teachers and students could see them clearly.

?Barrier?

Coats your body with a shield that absorbs 115-455 (depending on the caster's abilities) of true damage for 2 seconds.

...... the formula for calculating damage points?

“……”

(灬oωo灬)

"Well, Hermione, do you have any questions?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)？

Little Annie, who was just about to explain, nodded helplessly at the other party's name after seeing Hermione's hand held high, wanting to see what questions the other party had.

"Professor Annie!"

"Excuse me, what is real harm?"

Hermione didn't want to study the complicated formula for calculating damage points, the stats that seemed to be related to an individual's mana level, age, spellcasting skills, and other things, she just wanted to know, what was true damage?

"Hmm......"

(ー`′ー)

"True damage is the kind of damage that will definitely inflict on yourself by ignoring and passing through armor and magic resistance!"

"Anyway!"

"As long as it is a spell that can hurt yourself, no matter what spell it is, whether it is a spell energy attack or a physical entity attack, this shield can be resisted until the strength of the shield is lower than the opponent's attack strength and is broken by the opponent!"

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

Anyway, that's what the spell looked like, and as for more, Anne didn't want to explain more to them. Because her task today is to teach them that 'barrier', and as for the rest, what does it matter to her?

"Professor, does this include the Unforgivable Curse?"

Hermione, who didn't sit down, directly asked a second question, anyway, she had a good relationship with the other party, and it was good to ask more questions while the other party was lecturing now, and if it was private, it would not be easy to meet the kind of good time when the other party was in a good mood and was willing to explain to her.

"It's definitely okay to cut the heart and cut the bones and Avada to ask for your life, but I'm afraid it won't work very well against the Imperius Curse?"

(?￣?￣?) Ay?

As soon as Anne finished speaking, she noticed that the students and professors under the podium began to talk to each other, and the whole class suddenly became a mess, as if they did not fully believe her.

"Okay......"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"In that case, then they will give everyone a direct experiment!!"

(lll￢ω￢)

Barrier!

After saying that, without any reluctance and no obvious movement from Annie, a golden shield quietly appeared on her body, which was like a golden bubble or a ball, wrapping her firmly.

Because, Anne still has something very important to do, or is she doing? So, she didn't have time to explain that much to these guys, so it would be better to show them in a more direct way.

"Now, I'm ready, is anyone going to try to see what is attacking me?"

ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

"Any spell is fine, even the Unforgivable! However, for the time being, it's only limited to damage spells, and don't use those that control them, otherwise, you'll definitely be beaten back by me! ”

(

In fact, little Anne is not too good at lecturing, and she doesn't want to give too many lectures, so let's leave it like this for now, anyway, she has other purposes, and now she just needs to mix up the time of this class!

‘……’

‘……’

However, the students in this large classroom are just you look at me and I look at you, and no one dares to stand up directly, even Hermione, who is usually the most active in class.

"Hehe......"

And a certain unscrupulous headmaster didn't mean to move at this time, just smiled and watched the performance of that Professor Anne.

After all, he is Dumbledore, a first-class Merlin Medalist, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, the chief magician of the Wizengamot, has been nominated by the Minister of Magic many times, is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time, and is currently the top and most powerful existence in the British wizarding world and even in the world, so if he plays, if he can't even beat him, then his old face can't be put aside.

"Didn't anyone come up?"

∑(′△｀)？！

"Please rest assured, this 'barrier' shield of mine is very strong, if anyone can break it, there will be a reward!!"

"What do you think, how about a thousand gold gallons?"

（?`▽′?)?

Although Anne knew that no one would be able to break it, she tempted the hesitant students.

Swish!!

After saying that, countless students raised their hands almost at the same time, after all, it doesn't matter if you try it, what if you accidentally break through?

"Go away!"

"Let me come!!"

However, a cold cheer directly interrupted all the students' fantasies.

Because, at this time, Professor Snape of the Potions class had already squeezed away Ron, who was eager to try beside him, and then took a few steps forward with a cold face, and walked directly to the lectern of the large classroom, and stood still a few steps away from Professor Anne.

"Professor Annie, are you sure you can do any kind of magic?"

Professor Snape didn't rush to attack, didn't pull out his wand, just held his wrist in front of his stomach, and stared at the little girl and the shield on the other party with cold eyes.

Snape felt that there was no better person to test that shield than him, because here he was the most powerful except Dumbledore! And Mr. Principal, as far as he knows, will definitely not play, so there is really no more suitable than him.

"That's right!!"

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

“……”

"Blade without a Shadow!!"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Snape suddenly pulled out his wand in the light of the calcium carbide and cast the spell in an instant.

The whole process was completed in less than a second, and it was only when the students heard a faint 'poof' that they reacted that Professor Snape had already attacked once?

‘……’

'Hey! He's just used magic? ’

'I don't know......

'I heard the figure, as if I hadn't really broken through that shield?' ’

'It should be......

But Professor Snape was so fast, I couldn't even see how he got his staff, it's amazing!!!" ’

'What kind of spell is that?' Shadowless? Is there a spell? ’

'Haven't heard of .......'

Soon, after Professor Snape had completed his first attack, the students, whether they knew what had happened or not, were exclaiming and discussing each other.

"Ahem! Students! ”

"Be quiet, watch carefully, listen carefully, and remember, this will help you in your defense against the Dark Arts!!"

At this point, Dumbledore let out a shout, and finally stopped the commotion.

Then, he glanced at Snape, asking him to use more intuitive magic, not the other's own ...... You must know that the students' knowledge is limited, and there are some things that you still need to take care of them a little bit, after all, this is a classroom, not a gladiatorial arena.

“……”

"The flames are blazing!!"

Seeing Dumbledore's eyes, Snape quickly switched to a spell that the students themselves would have been, causing a fiery snake to erupt from the head of his staff and crash into Professor Annie's golden shield!

However......

It soon dawned on him that the fire magic was completely ineffective, and he couldn't break through that 'barrier' shield at all!

'Broken bones! ’

The Smashing Charm struck, and the red light slammed into the golden orb, quickly dissipating into invisibility......

'Fainted! ’

Successfully fended off ......

'All Petrochemicals! ’

'Blazing!! ’

“……”

After trying the offensive spells that the students were often exposed to, Snape didn't try any further, but put away his wand and began to think.

"Why don't you fight and continue?"

(，，?▽?，，)？

Anne said that the other party's spells and offensive magic were really too few and too few...... It's just those things back and forth, and it's less lethal, so she wants the other party to continue to fight a few more times?

"Professor Annie, are you sure it can really resist the Unforgivable Curse?"

Obviously, Snape was going to use the Unforgivable Charm, but to avoid surprises, he still had to confirm or warn him?

"Of course!"

(o゜▽゜)o☆[BINGO!]

“……”

"Avada Lives !!"

After a moment of silence, Snape shouted the terrible spell before the students could react or exclaim, and then a green light erupted from the head of his staff, directly crashing into the golden shield and the little girl in the shield!

Then, the dazzling green light directly illuminated the entire classroom, causing many students to subconsciously overlook their heads and close their eyes......

Burst!!

However, soon, as the green light disappeared, the teachers and students present realized that the terrifying death curse of Professor Snape just now, it seemed that nothing had happened except for a strange noise and a bright light? And now, Professor Anne was still grinning at the shield that looked incredibly tough.

'Merlin's beard, the Unforgivable Curse has really been blocked by her?!' ’

'How is this possible?!' ’

‘……’

'Professor Snape just really used Avada for his life?!' ’

'Of course! ’

"But that's not right, didn't you say that the Avada Curse can't be resisted, you can only dodge it?! ’

'Who knows? Don't ask me!! ’

Soon, the students were screaming again, and the classroom, which was already full of people, became like a busy city again. And Snape, who launched the attack, after hesitating for a moment, didn't say anything after all, and turned and walked directly to the place where he was standing.

“……”

however

At this time, the Dumbledore sitting in the front row did not say anything again, he just frowned, leaned on his reading glasses, and his eyes flashed, as if he was studying some basic structure of the shield?

"Professor Anne......

"So, do you know this shield, this spell called 'Barrier' and how it is cast?"

Finally, Dumbledore looked at it for a while, but he couldn't understand everything, but he knew that he had a faint trace of divine power, so he hesitated to ask the most crucial place.

Because he knows that no matter how powerful that 'barrier' is, it is the other party's, as long as he or his students learn it, they can become theirs, which is very important!

"Of course I do!"

(′⊙?⊙`)

"Otherwise, what am I doing now?!"

? (?ˉ?~ˉ?) ╭?

As soon as Anne stretched out her finger, the 'barrier' spell, the spell and 3D holographic gesture she had made up based on the spell-casting habits of the wizards of this world, appeared directly on the blackboard and continued to demonstrate automatically:

Magic barrier, spell: ?ναεμπ?διο!?

Basic technique: Quickly turn the wand three times in a second with a radius of no more than a foot, and then quickly raise the wand above your head while chanting the spell.

"Remember!"

(^_?) ☆

"Although the barrier can resist Avada's life, however, people don't recommend you to try it easily, because ah, the strength of the barrier is limited, especially if your magic power is not strong, once you are broken by a powerful guy, then you will be miserable.......

ヽ(?? ▽?) ノ

After reaching out and tapping on the blackboard behind her, little Anne removed the barrier shield on her body, which would never be broken by any wizard, and jumped straight from the lectern that was very close to the blackboard.

"Very good......

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and took out a small notebook on the spot, writing down what he had just seen, what he had observed, and what the other party had written.

‘！！ ’

"Oh!"

"Miss Granger, you're cunning......"

Soon, Dumbledore found that Hermione Granger beside him actually stretched his neck to look at the notebook in his hand at this time, and seemed to have copied all the experiences he had just written?

"Hah!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Dear Mr. Chancellor!"

Hermione closed her notebook without paying attention, and anyway, she had a good memory and said that she had finished copying it now.

And she suddenly felt that the next time, when Anne started classes again, it would be necessary for her to take a place for their Hogwarts School, the beloved Head Dumbledore, and she must be by her side?

"Today's lesson will only teach this spell for the time being, you can try it now, anyway, it's not an offensive spell, you can use it as you like, if you don't understand something, just ask! Otherwise, I won't leave you alone after class! ”

(*?′╰╯`?)?

Now that she has finished the course and performed it, it is time for the students to practice it themselves.

As long as those students are allowed to practice more on their own, and then say a few words when they have time, even if this public class is fooled, it will save some people from always thinking that Professor Anne is lazy in school, and she does not work at all while receiving a salary?
