Diana stayed for a few days for Zhao Mai to teach her how to use magic, but it turned out that she couldn't learn anything. The pen www.biquge.info wand didn't react to her, and so did the broomstick, and even potions were ineffective due to her strong physical resistance. For the first time, Diana envied others, including Addo, who could easily use magic.

She found that all her abilities were basically given by the gods, and there was very little that really belonged to her. Zhao Mai comforted her, "Your strong determination to fight and your will quality belong to you, and these are the most important parts of a person." Other combat abilities, you just think of them as tools. ”

But even with Zhao Mai's comfort, she would still be sad, so she left for Greece after staying for less than half a month to go to the "Pakas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". "Since it's a task given by the gods, it's still necessary to do your best to complete it, maybe there's something to do over there. Diana said this as she left. She didn't linger on the side of goodbye, nor did she give up, smiled and waved her hand and flew away.

The short winter vacation is finally over, and the first thing to do in the new semester is to select team members. Since the "New Age Wizard Youth Tournament" was held on the basis of the "Wizarding Triwizard Tournament", in order to reflect a longer sense of history, the Goblet of Fire was still traditionally used to select players. Only this time, the Goblet of Fire will go to each school in turn, and each school will only stay for half a day, and finally select the participating team members together. Because a trip around the world is so time-consuming, the Goblet of Fire only wanders around the continent, and schools in the Americas, Africa, and Asia need to send people to Europe to put the list in.

Zhao Mai was the first to go to the school hall early to see the Goblet of Fire, after all, it was a powerful magical item with a long reputation. The British Ministry of Magic sent two Aurors, as well as one elite Auror from the country of the previous and second stations, to protect the Goblet of Fire and prevent cheating. It was reported that some radical wizards in the Allied powers of Germany and Turkey were not willing to be defeated and excluded, and were ready to sabotage the conference. Although this information is not so reliable, the wizards of the Entente countries certainly did not want to let their guard down and lose face.

"You should take the initiative and participate in this event. Dumbledore's ten fingertips were put together, hanging down at his waist. The pair of sharp dark blue eyes looked at Zhao Mai: "This is a very rare opportunity, and it is likely that it is your only chance to participate in a competition at Hogwarts." ”

"Professor, do you think I should also participate?" Zhao Mai smiled and took out a note: "Since you think the same way, then my choice should be right." ”

"Great, I've been thinking about how to convince you. Dumbledore's eyes crooked and he smiled happily: "I found that you are a student who doesn't like to show off, and many times you are too conservative, of course it may also have something to do with your age and experience, but since you go to school with young people at Hogwarts, you should be younger!"

"Thank you for your concern, but I wasn't like them when I was their age, and I don't know how to look young now. ”

"Isn't being young about doing something brave, frivolous, but fun and lighthearted, like shaving off all your eyebrows and hair?" Dumbledore stroked his beard, then shook his head, "I have to say that you are better than me, even when I was young, I didn't have such courage." ”

"You can try it, it's really cool. Zhao Mai himself couldn't help but touch the top of his head, when he was bald, there was a big gap between the feeling and usual, and it felt very novel and unfamiliar to the touch, and sometimes he even mistook it for his head.

It's weird. Zhao Mai used nature to transform into other kinds of creatures, and he would not have this feeling of strangeness to himself, but he would be like this without hair.

"Go ahead, throw your name in. Dumbledore said with a smile.

Zhao Mai stepped forward, and the four Aurors glared at him in silence, and then let go of a slit. Zhao Mai stretched out his arm and threw the note with his name and school into the Goblet of Fire. The blue flame gently wrapped the note and slowly swallowed it into the golden rim of the cup.

"You're the eighth grader?" One of the Aurors, who was guarding the Goblet of Fire, rubbed his glasses and said suddenly, "I know your name, but it's the first time I've seen you in person." You should have graduated at that time, not stayed at Hogwarts. ”

Zhao Mai looked at him, and from his cold and serious face, he couldn't see the true intention of his words. Does it mean that the Ministry of Magic handled it unfairly, or did you think that Zhao Mai was a mistake to represent Hogwarts because of this?The other three Aurors blinked, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

"What you say seems to make a real sense. Zhao Mai choked lightly, and then walked back to Dumbledore's side. "Professor, do you have any inside information about this competition?"

"Of course not. "Dumbledore has a point. "I've been busy with a bunch of magicians tweaking the Goblet of Fire so that it can accommodate more schools and students than just three. How can I have time to listen to the venue and project of the competition, it is impossible. ”

"What's impossible?" Zhao Mai and Dumbledore slowly left the hall where the Goblet of Fire was placed, and away from the four guarded Aurors.

"Of course, I couldn't have known that the tournament would be held in Atlantis, nor would it be a tournament involving dragons and titans. Dumbledore lifted his glasses and said softly, "There's so much I don't know. ”

After they walked away, students came to the Goblet of Fire one after another. The junior students looked at the older students with curiosity and envy, and everyone who put in the name was applauded by everyone. Barbara ran over panting, complaining that Susie was slowing her down badly. She grabbed the Gryffindor student next to her, stared at her and asked, "Did Mike Dragonroar put his name in it?"

"Didn't see it. The student said to her.

Barbara asked several people, all with the same answer. "No, he said he would participate?"

"Did he change his mind on the fly?" Susie was also a little strange.

"No, he's a man of his word. Barbara waited a long time, and it was almost time for class, and she had to leave. Barbara's heart fluttered, and she wrote Michael's name on the slip of paper and threw it in as the Aurors watched.

The blue flame slowly swallowed the note, as always.
