0340. The game is not far off

Life at Hogwarts was peaceful and fulfilling, and Field and Rolf's modified potions were approved by the Hogwarts Board of Trustees and received scholarships, causing quite a stir in the house.

Hermione's SPE Society actually had a lot of influence at Hogwarts, and even had the support of Professor Key Rydy Bubbaghy, a professor of Muggle studies, who was now planning to start lobbying Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor.

Harry and Ron's prophecy that day was supposedly praised by Professor Trelawney and received perfect marks, which made Field even more convinced to ask the two to come up with ideas for their new book.

Monday's Magical Creature Protection class was a bit of a bad one, with the snails growing quickly and having a short temper, Harry was unfortunate enough to be hit by his own prophecy and he burned his arm from the exploding snails. Field and Rolf were asked by Hagrid to stay behind and help him find the cause of the snail's temper.

After a period of observation, Rolf came up with his own point of view, perhaps because he grew too fast and couldn't eat enough.

Hagrid was very happy about this, because he already had some clues, because he found that the chicken blood left over from the last banquet seemed to be the favorite of fried tail snails, but the number was a little small, and they didn't eat enough, so they lost their temper.

Encouraged to do so, Hagrid felt that the whelk class might be of great benefit to the students. So he prepared to start the next class and have the students come to his hut every other day to observe the fried snails and record their other unusual behaviors.

By the time Field and Rolf returned to the castle, the students were done. They were going to hurry up and go to the school infirmary to see Harry who had been burned.

When they reached the foyer, however, they found that they could no longer move forward, for a large group of students were huddled around a large poster erected at the foot of the marble staircase. Relying on his height, Field stood on tiptoe, went over the heads of the people in front of him, and read the words on the notice aloud to Rolf beside him:

Triwizard Tournament

Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, 30 October. Afternoon

The class will end half an hour earlier -

"Great!" said Harry, "Friday's last lesson is Potions! Snape won't have time to poison us all!"

At that time, students are invited to return their schoolbags and textbooks to the dormitory, and gather in front of the castle to welcome our guests

people, and then attend a welcome banquet.

"It's only been a week! I don't know if Cedric knows. Field, we'll tell him later, and you should get ready......" Ernie McMillan said as he squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes sparkling.

"Well, thank you Ernie! But I'm not going to attend. Field said a little dazed.

"Oh, yes, listen to my dad, there is only one spot for each house in the Triwizard Tournament, so only Cedric will represent Hogwarts. Ernie had an understanding look on his face.

His voice was indistinct, attracting the attention of many students, several of whom in Slytherin had bad intentions, and indeed there were many powerful elite wizards in the upper grades of Slytherin, and anyone who took a place at Hogwarts would be unhappy.

"That Hufflepuff idiot wants to be a Hogwarts warrior too?" a shrill voice came from the Slytherin crowd, and Field looked to the place where the voice came from, speaking to a student named Theodore Noether, who had an impression of him, he was somewhat similar to Rolf, a bit withdrawn, often alone, and had good grades in Potions.

Field had no intention of arguing with the other over this trivial matter, and he calmed the somewhat agitated Ernie, and was about to leave when he heard someone in Slytherin speak.

"He's not an idiot, Cedric is really good, he's got a good bloodline, and he plays Quidditch well. Pansy Parkinson incarnated as Cedric's fan sister and said.

"You like him because he's handsome. Theodore Knott sarcastically said.

"That's right, that's why I like him because he's handsome!" Pansy Parkinson looked as a matter of course, and a few Slytherin girls around her nodded in agreement.

"You guys!! he's just a Hufflepuff!" said Theodore Nott angrily.

"So what? the man is handsome, and so good, even Dean Snape has praised him. Pansy Parkinson immediately slammed back.

"Huh!!" Theodore Noether turned away in disgust.

The trivia in front of the foyer didn't cause much trouble, as Field and Rolf found Cedric in the cafeteria after visiting Harry, and Cedric had already learned of the upcoming representatives from the other two schools of the Triwizard Tournament, and he confessed that he would sign up for it then.

Looking at Cedric, who was chatting with his friends, Field felt the pressure, the time for the Triwizard Tournament was getting closer, and there was not much time for him to prepare. That night, Field began to bury his head in the little club and intensify his 'rune tattoo' experiments.

Despite all the time Field devoting all of his time to research, the following week was a steady stream of news, as people seemed to be talking about only one topic: Triwizard Tournament.

There were a lot of rumors among the students that the Hogwarts Warriors must be who they were. What will the tournament have, and how will Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students differ from them. Anyway, it was spread in the clouds, and there were even many gossip girls who came to ask Field. Because Diggory's magic TV station is in charge of the broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament.

Although Field had been staying in a small club these days, he had noticed that the castle seemed to be being thoroughly cleaned at this time. Several sordid portraits were scrubbed clean, and the scrubbed figures were very unhappy about it.

When Mr. Argus Filch, the administrator, saw that a student had forgotten to clean his shoes, he flew into a rage, causing the two first-year girls to scream. This made his reputation among students even worse, and of course Filch didn't have a good reputation in the first place, and he didn't care.

Until one day, when they started polishing the armor at the entrance of the little club, Field had to go out for a walk. After all, the metallic grinding sound made when wiping armor is really sore to your teeth.

By the time Field returned from a stroll, the armor at the entrance of the little club had become shiny and no longer creaked when it moved. Field was still happy with this.

Of course, in addition to the students and the administrator Mr. Filch, the other teachers of the school were also nervous to varying degrees, so the pace of teaching also accelerated a lot.

As a result, Hufflepuffs, who are not very qualified overall, have been unlucky, and it has proved that the hard-working, fearless little badgers are not suitable for this kind of sudden and accelerated teaching program. In Transfiguration, McGonagall taught the Protestant Transformation Spell because it was relatively simple, so the professor did not explain it in detail, and as a result, there were still 5 students in the second Transfiguration class who did not master the spell. The careless Hannah Abbott also grafted her friend Susan Bones' nose onto a cactus because of a spell error, making a good transformation lesson a chicken-and-dog jump.

In addition, the new professor's removal spell in Charms class was not optimistic, and Professor Flitwick conjured a foul-smelling piece of glue on the podium and asked the students to try to remove it, but not a single student did it for the entire class. (Field and Rolf are excluded). As a result, the whole classroom smelled of disgusting ammonia.

In this way, time crept forward, and on October 29th, the people of Magic TV began to settle at Hogwarts. Cedric and Field also see their mother, Mrs. Diggory, whom they haven't seen in a long time.

"I'm sorry, my children, but I've been too busy to write to you. Mrs. Diggory hugged the two brothers and said apologetically.

"We understand, Mom!" said Field, blushing slightly.

"Look at you, you've grown so much taller in just that time. Mrs. Diggory looked at the two children who had made her proud.

By this time, Cedric was now much taller than Mrs. Diggory, and even half a head taller than Mr. Diggory.

Field was not much taller than Cedric, and he jumped out of place after the holidays.

"Mom, are you here at the TV station this time?" asked Field, looking at the three TV station employees in the auditorium who were talking to Professor McGonagall.

"We're just here to play the front stop, and there will be a lot of people coming in the future, and tomorrow it's just the arrival of representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and we can just do some filming and interviewing, and it's still a long time before the Triwizard Tournament officially begins?" explained Mrs. Diggory.

Speaking of the Triwizard Tournament, Mrs. Diggory suddenly turned to Cedric in a serious way: "Seid, honestly, are you going to participate? You're 17 years old." ”

"Uh, yes, Mom. Cedric wasn't prepared to hide it, "I think I can try." ”

Mrs. Diggory stared at Cedric for a long time, then let out a sigh, "Ah, go, I know I can't stop you." ”

But in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Diggory turned to Field and said solemnly, "But, Field, I will not allow you to participate. ”

Field spread it out and said, "Of course, Mom, I wasn't going to sign up, you know, I'm not under 17." ”

Mrs. Diggory stared at Field and said in disbelief, "Don't try to lie to me, if you want to sign up, there must be a way to solve the age problem." ”

Well, I have to say that Mrs. Diggory is indeed the person who knows Field best, and Field had to continue to explain: "I didn't lie to you, Mom, you think, there is only one place in each school in the Triwizard Tournament, do you think I can compete with Seid?"

Hearing Field's words, Mrs. Diggory also breathed a sigh of relief, "Indeed, historically, only the best students from the three schools have been able to become Warrior representatives. ”

Mrs. Diggory looked at Cedric, worried about her child's safety, but worried about Seid's ability to become a warrior.

Cedric is now only a 6th year student at Hogwarts, although Cedric is definitely the best among his peers, but there are nearly 200 7th year students in Hogwarts who are older than him, and there are not a few excellent wizards, and it is still unknown whether Cedric can stand out.

"Okay, let's do it for now, you guys should go to class, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it later. Mrs. Diggory patted her two sons on the shoulder and motioned for them to go to class.

"Field, remember that in two days after the equipment was in place, you had to find time to come over and help with the debugging. Finally, Mrs. Diggory reminded Field.

"Okay, Mom. "The remodeled magic cameras are the product of the Nice studio, originally custom-made for the Quidditch World Cup, and he spent two weeks renovating them at the request of Magic TV after the start of the school year, preparing to use them on the live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament.

After another day of enrichment classes, after dinner, the Diggory brothers still went to the third floor of the castle to chat with Mrs. Diggory. The empty classrooms on the third floor of the castle will become the base camp for the live broadcast of the magic television station for a long time to come.
