After all the students arrived at the school on the Hogwarts Express, they sat down in the Great Hall early.

This year's freshman enrollment was completed early, and Karn didn't care much about the freshmen, but was quite interested in the Sorting Hat; In Nicolame's alchemy notes, it is recorded that he wants to integrate his thoughts into alchemical products, but he has quite advanced alchemical knowledge.

Karn can't do it now, his memory magic is not enough, and when he can perfectly replicate his personality, emotions, habits, etc., with memory magic, he can try this advanced alchemy.

Strictly speaking, the Sorting Hat is already equivalent to a kind of artifact clone, except that it has the thoughts of the four founders.

It wasn't until the Sorting House was over that Dumbledore began to announce something, and this year was a very special year for Hogwarts.

Dumbledore stood in front of the stage and said loudly, "First of all, let's welcome Professor Pente, who is more familiar with the third grade and above, who is still here to impart knowledge to you in this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. ”

After Dumbledore said this, many students applauded, they still liked Karn Pentt very much, the way of teaching was completely different from others, free, novel, and Karn's generous handwriting made many people remember him, and now Hermione's fire bolt is about to become the exclusive broom of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

With the exception of Slytherin, most of the Slytherin students were not very happy about the news, as at the Quidditch World Cup, Karn sent twenty-one wizards from pureblood families to the Ministry of Magic.

A few days ago, the trial of the twenty-one pure-blood wizards was officially over, and it should have been handed over to Azkaban.

After Dumbledore told the new students about the dangers of Hogwarts, Filch, the administrator, hurried in through the gate and whispered something in Dumbledore's ear.

As Filch tiptoed to the Great Hall gates, Dumbledore once again loudly announced, "Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, so the school is going to have some special guests..."

While Dumbledore was announcing on stage, Professor McGonagall was about to take the Sorting Hat off and send it to the Headmaster's office after the banquet.

Karn's eyes lit up when he saw Professor McGonagall's actions, "Professor McGonagall, put the Sorting Hat with me." ”

Professor McGonagall looked puzzled and said, "Put it on you?" Professor Pente, the Sorting Hat is to be put back in the Headmaster's office after the banquet..."

Karn said, "I'll leave this matter to me, I have a question I'd like to talk to the Sorting Hat about." ”

Let's talk, but it's just a hat.

Professor McGonagall was tempted to ask why, but she didn't say anything, and placed her hat beside Karn; It's a small thing, the Sorting Hat isn't going to get lost or broken, it's a little dirty.

Dumbledore in front of the stage had already begun to welcome the Beauxbatons students, and Karn wanted to take advantage of the time to study the Sorting Hat, perhaps he could ask Dumbledore later if the Sorting Hat could be placed in the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

"What are you going to do? I'm the one with the eyes and judgments of the four founders, and the dangerous thoughts in your eyes remind me of the 'Witch Hunt Prison', maybe you should go there!

”

After the Sorting Hat was placed beside Karn, he spoke to him with some panic; Karn was even more curious, sighed a little, and then directly applied the alchemical detection magic to the Sorting Hat, analyzing its composition.

Ancient scripts, very complex ancient texts, Karn even saw in them something that was a little different from the ancient scripts, but very similar; He didn't know if it was the elf's usual scripts or something else, but Karn felt that the hat was worth studying.

Karn's face became more interested, and then he suddenly felt that many people were watching him, and Hagrid beside him, Hermione and the others below all looked at him.

Karn was a student of Beauxbatons with silver waterfall hair and a complicated look in his blue eyes, though one thing Karn was sure of was hatred, which he had seen many times in Lucius's eyes.

Karn, if memory serves, is she Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons? Maybe it's because of the family, but it has nothing to do with him, and if he decides to take a risk, he will have to bear the consequences, and it's not a child's house.

He restrained his behavior towards the Sorting Hat a little, and waited for Dumbledore to finish talking about the Triwizard Tournament before studying the Sorting Hat.

By this time, the students and headmasters of Beauxbatons had taken their seats, and Dumbledore was welcoming the people from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and only after they had arrived in the Great Hall and taken their seats did Dumbledore announce the start of the dinner.

The Triwizard Tournament should at least wait until after dinner to announce it, otherwise some students would not be able to bear to wait hungry to listen to Dumbledore and Barty Crouch announce the competition.

Today's dinner, which had a lot more variety than traditional English cuisine, may have been specially ordered by Dumbledore to take care of the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After everyone had eaten almost enough, Dumbledore waved his hand and removed all the food from the table before revealing the magic item of the Goblet of Fire.

While Barty Crouch was talking about the rules of the Triwizard Tournament, Mad-Eye Moody also walked in through the side door of the Great Hall, having been asked by Dumbledore to prevent some mishaps in the middle of the match.

Karn didn't know if the Mad-Eye was real or fake, and he didn't know if he had killed Barty Crouch Jr. on the day of the Quidditch World Cup, but he could try it out.

Dumbledore already knew the whereabouts of the Horcruxes, it was completely meaningless for Voldemort to be resurrected, the Death Eaters' strength was greatly reduced, Peter Pettigrew was also sent to Azkaban, and now Voldemort's resurrection chance has become hellish difficulty, and this purpose is not necessarily fake.

..................

At the end of the feast, Karn asked Dumbledore to borrow the Sorting Hat, and he agreed without much thought, telling Karn to 'return it to the Headmaster's office when he was done'.

Karn then put the Sorting Hat away, ignoring its pointless accusations, the alchemical objects with the ability to think independently were indeed amazing, but they were a bit noisy.

Before returning to his office, Karn made a trip to the library and the forbidden library, where he would borrow all the books on the ancient scriptures before Mrs. Pince left.

There are a lot of unfamiliar scriptures in the composition of the Sorting Hat, and Karn will probably have to research it tonight while looking for information.

However, at the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office, he encounters a strange black cat.

"Whose pet is this?"

Karn levitated the spellbook in the air, then went to the black cat to observe; Unexpectedly, this black cat is not afraid of people, and when he saw him approaching, he meowed sweetly, and his voice was delicate and weak.

"It's so loud, it looks like it's a male cat... Oh, guessed wrong. ”

Karn watched the black cat after lifting it up, but the action caused the black cat to struggle, probably because of the climb.

Many students at Hogwarts bring pets, and while most of them have owls, some bring other pets; For example, Hermione's pet is a very intelligent cat with the blood of a raccoon.

After putting the cat down, Karn left it alone, and perhaps the black cat would return to its owner to-morrow; However, when Karn opened the door, the black cat ran in faster than Karn, and then jumped down the stool onto his desk, where he crouched honestly.

The eyes looked at Karn so brightly that he didn't want to use magic to drive the black cat out for a moment.

It's still a matter of appearance, if squatting at the door of his office is a mouse, it is now in pieces.

"You can stay here, but be honest, don't scream and don't defecate."

Karn waved his hand to conjure up a cushion and litter for the black cat with a transfiguration, and then took out some fish to tease the black cat; However, the black cat seemed to be full, and when it saw the fish, it turned its head away, giving Karn a boring look.

"It's quite arrogant..."

However, the fur was smooth and felt good to pick up, and the black cat seemed to enjoy Karn's technique, and after a while lay down on the cushion and prepared to sleep.

Seeing that the black cat was about to rest, Karn stopped petting the cat, he took out some rummags of the ancient magic scripts, and continued to use detection magic to record all the special magic words that made up the Sorting Hat with a shorthand quill pen.

So at night, only the sound of quill writing was left in the room, and the black cat lying on the cushion opened its eyes from time to time, and looked at Karn, who was seriously studying the ancient magic script, and when the sleepiness came up, he couldn't help but yawn and fell asleep.

The cushions are fluffy and comfortable, and there is a wall fire in the house, so you won't catch a cold even if you sleep like this all night.

...........

The black cat, who was dreaming about it, was suddenly knocked on the head twice, and she immediately meowed angrily when the dream was interrupted, but when she opened her sleepy eyes, she found Karn picking her up.

"I'm going out to class, so in order to avoid you being locked in the office, let's go back to your master."

Class?

After the black cat heard this, Tong Kong turned into a vertical slit, how long did she sleep?

As soon as Karn was carried out of the door, the black cat broke free from his embrace, and then ran away; Karn shook his head when he saw this, and said, "It's really not good, not at all." ”

Teaching the students was more of a task for Karn, and he now had something he was more interested in, which was alchemy, so he sent his own shadow clone to teach the students, and when the class was over, he could disarm the shadow clone, and if there was an emergency in the class, he could also disarm the shadow clone.

Karn now knew a lot about the Dark Arts, at least all the books on the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Voldemort had been working on Horcruxes at the age of sixteen, and the dark magic that Karn had forced out of Tom's mouth was enough to teach fourth, fifth, and sixth graders how to guard against it.

As for the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students, they occasionally came to the lectures; The majority of the students from these two schools are in Year 7, and only a few are required to attend classes with Hogwarts students.

It's just that every night these days, a black cat has come to block Karn's office, as if he were a hotel.

"Magical, it's really magical, the way it is built has something to do with high-level sealing, maybe you can learn from the principle of sealing... As long as so many magic scripts are 'stabilized', it should be possible to create the same hat, but it requires 'emotion', 'thought' and 'judgment'. ”

Karn looked at the completely recorded scripts in front of him, there were more than 1,700 of them, of which only a quarter were Runi, and the rest were relatively unfamiliar; It's just that from the records of the magic text, it can be roughly judged that two of them should come from magical creatures, and the last one is really impossible to find information.

"Maybe you can look at the notes and materials left by Nicolamel."

Karn suddenly thought that he still had the knowledge left by the alchemist, so he decided to split up two shadow clones every day and read all the alchemy books left by Nicolame first.

"Until then, I can refine some other... Well? Fleur, Delacul. ”

Karn was just trying to refine some magical items, but suddenly received a memory from the shadow clone, and everything else was normal, that is, Fleur Delacour had approached him after class and wanted to talk to him after selecting a champion tonight.

It doesn't take a guess to know that Fleur was for the Delacul family, but Karn had no intention of helping the haughty court flower; The Dracules family is greedy first, if they let it go easily, then where will Karn's face go, and will the Dracules family kick their noses in the face in the future.

But Fleur Delacour's words reminded Karn that tonight was the time to select the Warriors, and he had almost forgotten about it; If Fleur hadn't found him, Karn would have planned to refine magical items in his office.

Karn didn't have much contact with the magic item of the Goblet of Fire, but it contained a powerful magic contract that even Dumbledore could not change or terminate once the contract was established.

Karn arrived late, and by the time he arrived at the Great Hall, Dumbledore had just announced the warrior of Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacul.

"Here, Professor."

Hermione beckoned to Karn from behind, and as the Goblet of Fire was about to spit out his second name, Karn couldn't stand out and walked over to the Professor's side, so he stood beside Hermione.

"Professor, Harry has been in some trouble lately, can I take him to you when the Warrior selection is over?"

Hermione leaned into Karn's ear and asked in a low voice, and Harry on the side noticed that Karn was looking at him, and nodded quickly, it seemed that the two of them had discussed it.

Karn nodded, "Of course, you can come directly to my office later." ”

While the two were chatting, all three Champions of the Triwizard Tournament had been selected, Fleur Delacour, Victor Krum, and Cedric Diggory.

But before Dumbledore could say anything, the Goblet of Fire changed again, and a fourth note flew out of it, and Dumbledore took it and looked at it, the wrinkles on his face twisted together.

Then he shouted, "Harry Potter!" ”

Hermione said in surprise, "And a fourth warrior?" And the fourth warrior is Harry? Why there are four warriors in the Triwizard Tournament... Professor Pente, why do I suddenly feel a little reasonable.."

"You've been affected by the spell, Hermione."

Karn took a closer look at Mad-Eye Moody, and found that there was also shock on his face, and if it was a pretence, it could only be said that he was a good actor; However, Barty Crouch Jr.'s acting skills in the original book are really good and have deceived many people.

Harry Potter was qualified as a warrior, which made many people indignant; He was only fourteen years old, and he had a reputation as a savior, but his performance was not convincing to everyone, why he was chosen as a warrior.

Cheat!

This was the only thought that many people had after being jealous, even Harry's good friend Ron was a little skeptical, only Hermione thought it was an accident, because she knew that Harry was not capable of breaking through the magic set up by Dumbledore, and if he was really that powerful, he would not have to copy her homework.

After announcing that Harry Potter was the last Warrior, Dumbledore had all the students leave, while he and Barty Crouch went behind to discuss Harry Potter.

In the Great Hall, after everyone was almost gone, Hermione asked, "Godfather, what now?" ”

"Let's wait for Dumbledore to negotiate the result, but Harry can only participate, and Dumbledore can't stop the magic contract of the Goblet of Fire."

After Karn finished speaking, he told Hermione, "When Harry comes out, if he is willing to come to me today, bring him to my office." ”

Hermione nodded in response, Karn didn't want to waste his time, and while he waited, he could go back and design the shape of the alchemy item that he was going to refine next.

At present, he still mainly uses metal and magic materials, and when he understands those magic texts, he plans to try them on clothing.

.............

Not long after he returned, there was a knock on the door of his office.

Karn waved his hand, and the office door opened, and Hermione walked in with a lack of thought and unhappiness.

Hermione took a closer look at the magic materials on her desk, and then said, "Godfather, there was a little accident when I came, so I was delayed a little bit. ”

Karn waved his hand, then turned his chair around and asked Harry, "It's okay, so Harry, what's your trouble?" ”

Harry asked with an unhappy face, "Professor, my biggest trouble right now is to become a warrior, is there any solution?" ”

"Of course there is a way, as long as the Goblet of Fire is solved, in fact, I would love to study the Goblet of Fire, since it is a magic item, there must be a way to crack it; However, I have only been learning alchemy for a short time, and it may take a few months or half a year before it is possible. ”

Karn said in all seriousness that he really wanted to study the Goblet of Fire, even Dumbledore and Barty Crouch would never agree.

"But I really didn't vote..."

"Of course you didn't, you couldn't break through Dumbledore's spell with your magic powers, and someone else threw it for you; Actually, I can do it, but the time is out, otherwise all three of you can participate. ”

Karn paused for a moment and continued: "No one has helped you make a name for nothing, the person who helped you become a warrior, not for your money, but for you as a person, in short, someone is eyeing you now, but you don't have to worry, there are so many professors in the school, enough to keep you safe." ”

The expression on Harry's face relaxed at first after hearing Karn's words, for the professor had helped him prove that he had not signed up for the Goblet of Fire at all; Ron on the side felt a little ashamed when he heard this, and he also had some malicious doubts just now if Harry had become a warrior by cheating.

But Karn's subsequent words made Harry nervous again, someone was eyeing him, how could going to school always expose him to dangerous things?

Harry thought helplessly, but when he saw Hermione's eyes on the side, he remembered the purpose of the afternoon, so he hurriedly said, "Professor, I've been having nightmares lately. Voldemort was talking to a couple of Death Eaters, and they seemed to be at Hogwarts! ”

"Arrived at Hogwarts? Tell your dream in detail. ”

Karn's face became a little more solemn, and then Harry heard the dream he had been repeating lately.

'Come in, all of you. 'This sentence...

More than one Death Eater came in?

Karn, however, didn't notice that Moody had been drinking, but to be on the safe side, he would try it with a spell tomorrow.

"Harry, you'd better practice Occlumency, here's my advice to you; As for who to learn from.. Ask Sirius, or Professor McGonagall. ”

Karn said to Harry, "Occlumency is the only way to help you with your nightmares. ”

Once Harry's problems were settled, Karn told them to go to bed in their dormitories, and it was late in the day.

..............

"Hermione, Ron, how am I going to learn Occlumency with Sirius? He couldn't get into Hogwarts at all... By the way, there is a secret passage in the school, but where will he live when he comes in? ”

On the way back, Harry asked, with some annoyance; After the misunderstanding is resolved, his relationship with Ron returns to normal.

"I don't know..."

Before Ron could finish his words, his eyes were a little straight to see the person coming out of the corner, the waterfall of silver hair and the charming face, which made him a little unable to take his eyes off, especially the one he had just seen closely.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?"

Harry nodded in agreement, "You're right, Ron. ”

"It's Fleur Delacour? What was she doing there at such a late hour? "That direction should be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office, where her godfather lives.

Hermione wanted to know the answer, but Harry and Ron obviously couldn't give her an answer.

"You guys go back first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Hermione finished speaking, and left in a hurry.

After she left, Harry reacted to the question, "Ron, doesn't there be a bathroom in the girls' dormitory?" ”

"I don't know, probably not, otherwise Hermione wouldn't have gone anywhere else."

Harry shook his head, "That's pathetic. ”
