Chapter 168: Age Restrictions

Except that Leah is Ethan's disciple, he can't understand the relationship between Eliya and Ethan, but he is sure that Ethan dotes on this child, and knowing this is enough.

As for Rin Tosaka, it seems to be a disciple of Skaha?

In any case, with these children staying at Hogwarts, Hogwarts is equivalent to having several powerful Patronus, and in this case, if anyone who dares to attack Hogwarts School, then they will face the wrath of this powerful being.

With Ethan's help to stabilize the 'rear', Dumbledore can also lead the members of the Order of the Phoenix to clean up Voldemort with confidence.

"Did the plan go well?"

"It went well!"

Dumbledore replied with a smile on his face, and glanced at the inconspicuous ring he was wearing.

Ethan glanced at it and immediately saw that there was some kind of magic enchantment attached to the ring: it was connected to someone's life, and when that person's life was threatened, the wearer could know about it.

"Moody?"

Dumbledore nodded, he didn't think he could hide it from Ethan.

As for why Ethan knew so much, it didn't seem strange for Dumbledore to know that Ethan had been studying the power of time, and it didn't seem strange to get some glimpse of the future from the long river of time.

"Moody is now in the hands of the Death Eaters, and according to the plan we agreed upon, as long as his life is not threatened, we pretend not to know. ”

Moody was ready to sacrifice himself, and according to his thoughts, even if his life was threatened, everyone would ignore it, and the most important thing was to ensure that the plan could be successfully completed.

However, the members of the Order of the Phoenix were not willing to give up the lives of their colleagues casually, so they made such an item and wore it on the hands of the strongest Dumbledore, and only Dumbledore could use Apparition at Hogwarts to get to the scene of the incident in time if necessary.

Not long after Ethan and the others put their things back in their dorms, the students had already taken the train back to Hogwarts, and during the opening ceremony that night, Ethan also met Mad-Eye Moody, who will be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year.

Many people in the audience knew that this Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr. in disguise, and Barty Crouch Jr., a Death Eater, imprisoned the real Mad Eye and came to Hogwarts in his place, with the purpose of helping Harry Potter win the Triwizard Tournament.

In addition to introducing Mad Eye Moody, Dumbledore also introduced the upcoming Triwizard Tournament at the dinner, and students from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also appeared in the banquet hall.

Among them, the appearance of Beauxbatons' girls attracted the attention of many boys, especially the girl standing in the center, and all the male students present stayed on her.

Ethan knew that this was Flemban Delacul, who had the blood of Meiwa, and this girl was quite amazing when she appeared.

As for the students who followed Durmstrang...... What's so nice about that?, Ethan took the opportunity to go out and take a spin and collect some samples from Pegasus from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The opening ceremony was uneventful, and the appearance of the Goblet of Fire was no surprise, and after Dumbledore had explained all the rules, the students discussed the upcoming Triwizard Tournament while eating and drinking.

"It's a shame that you have to be over 17 years old to participate. ”

The Slytherins next to Ethan were also discussing this, and for the young wizards who had to stay in school all year, the Triwizard Tournament was a rare event, and it was indeed easier to arouse their interest than the dull study life.

"If there is no age limit, Ethan Arendale is fully qualified to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament. ”

As we chatted, we talked about who was suitable to represent Hogwarts, and for the Slytherin students, it was impossible for them to think that people from other Branches were qualified to represent Hogwarts, and if they were to choose from the current Slytherin, most of them would think that Ethan was the most suitable.

Illya poked Ethan next to her slightly, and Ethan gave a look back, indicating that he had heard.

Of course, there are those who propose Ethan, and there are those who disagree. The reason is also very simple, Ethan is too young, he has just been promoted to the fourth grade, and no matter how good his grades are, he is no match for senior students.

"I don't think Ethan's strength is worse than that of his senior class. ”

As we chatted, it was surprising that even the senior Slytherin students thought that Ethan-Arendelle was the most suitable choice, but unfortunately Ethan's age did not meet the criteria.

"Everyone thinks you're qualified to represent Hogwarts, do you think so?"

Ethan looked up at Draco Malfoy across from him, carefully examined the other party's expression, and made sure he wasn't here to provoke him this time before answering his question.

"It's a pointless question, if I want to play for Hogwarts, then the Goblet of Fire will just choose me. ”

Draco Malfoy didn't feel angry or upset by Ethan's answer, but asked curiously, "You mean, you have a way to get around that age limit?"

"Of course. ”

Ethan knew that even if he didn't make a move, Dumbledore would secretly make the Goblet of Fire 'spit out' his name.

However, compared to being regarded as a 'dark rubbing' cheating registration, Ethan prefers to do this kind of thing in a 'bright light', and now that the Goblet of Fire has just been put out, he has made it clear to everyone that as long as he wants to sign up, the so-called age limit can't stop him at all.

Ethan's words soon spread throughout Slytherin House, and even to the ears of students in other houses, even the professors heard them.

If it were normal, the professors would have done something, but now they just looked at each other and didn't hear anything.

As for Barty Crouch (who pretended to be Moody's father but not a Death Eater) sent by the Ministry of Magic (pretending to be Moody's father Barty Crouch Jr., but not a Death Eater)?

When the dinner was over, the students didn't disperse immediately, but stayed here to look at the glowing blue goblet of fire, trying to see who had gone up to sign up.

The way to sign up is very simple, just throw the parchment with your name written on it into the Goblet of Fire, and when it is finally announced, the Goblet of Fire will 'spit out' the chosen parchment.

Less than two hours after dinner, many people had already thrown parchment with their names into the Goblet of Fire.

There were also many students under the age of seventeen who wanted to try it, but they were all stopped by the magic set up around the Goblet of Fire, and there was no way to get close to the Goblet of Fire.

Large groups of junior students sat around, watching the seniors sign up and discussing what Ethan had said before.

"I think he's bragging. ”

"Is the magic that Professor Dumbledore has set up so easy to crack?

"Seeing that he has been sitting there, he has no intention of trying, maybe he didn't want to sign up at all. ”

Many people in Slytherin are looking at Ethan, there are no Slytherin people among the gossips, and Slytherin has always been united in the face of 'foreign enemies'.

"Aren't you going to sign up?"

"yes. ”

"When?"

"Now. ”

In response to Malfoy's inquiry, Ethan took a piece of parchment and wrote his name in front of everyone, then walked towards the Goblet of Fire in the center with the parchment.

At this time, everyone in the lobby focused on him, which made Ethan fully feel what it means to be in the limelight.

It's just that the messages revealed in these eyes are different.

Some people are looking forward to it, some people want to see jokes, some people are waiting to have doubts or doubts, anyway, all kinds of emotions can be felt, Ethan doesn't care about what these people think, and slowly comes to the circle of light that can block everyone who does not meet the standard.

"Will he succeed?"

"I don't know...... Probably not, right?"

Because Ethan had too many Slytherin students around him this time, Harry and Ron were also far away from Ethan, and Hermione and Rin Tosaka were also here.

Seeing Ethan just walk over so casually, Ron, who had a fairly good relationship, was a little worried about whether Ethan would be embarrassed - he would be very entangled at that time. In his original idea, a Slytherin person could laugh at all he wanted, but now that he and Ethan were on good terms, how could he laugh at his friends?

Just as Ron was struggling with what he should do, the students in the hall let out an 'oh~' in unison, because in the eyes of everyone, Ethan stepped into the circle without hindrance, and easily threw the parchment in his hand into the Goblet of Fire.

"This ......"

"Is the spell dead?"

Immediately, two students from the other houses stood up, pinched the parchment and rushed towards the Goblet of Fire, then crashed headlong into the invisible barrier, and were sent flying upside down by a huge force.

Ethan was still standing in the circle when the two men rushed over, and only when the two unlucky men flew out did he slowly walk back to his original position and sit down.

This moment was enough for everyone to react to what had happened: Ethan, who had just been promoted to the fourth grade, successfully threw his name into the Goblet of Fire and signed up for the Triwizard Tournament.

The Slytherin students cheered in unison, and in turn fired back at the man who had just mocked them.

Malfoy curiously asks Ethan how he did it, but Ethan doesn't answer the question at all, and at best smiles meaningfully.

It's not that Ethan doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't explain it.

"I don't even know how old I am, this restriction spell doesn't work for me at all!"
