This oolong came unexpectedly, and the judges were okay, especially Dumbledore, who was not stimulated by any bright light at all, but those contestants were different, and they were stimulated so much that snot and tears flowed down, so they were not embarrassed.

The good thing is that the bright light of the leaf does not hurt its owner, Catherine.

It took more than ten minutes for Mr. Ollivander to let Harry come forward with red eyes.

After receiving Harry's wand, Ollivanders' swollen eyes lit up with excitement, as if he had seen some long-lost best friend.

"yes, yes, I remember it very well, and I was so impressed with your wand, Mr. Potter."

Harry also remembered it as if it had happened yesterday.

In 1991, one summer, on his eleventh birthday, Hagrid led him into Mr. Ollivander's wand shop. Harry remembered that he had tried almost every wand before he finally settled on this one—it was made of holly wood, eleven inches long, and had a phoenix's tail feather inside. He still remembers the look of surprise on Mr. Ollivanders' face when he saw that the wand was a perfect match for him.

While Ollivander was constantly praising the wonderful, Harry asked why, and Ollivander's answer was that the phoenix feather in Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand were plucked from the same bird.

The secret had always been rotten in Harry's heart, just like Ron, who had the best relationship with him, or Headmaster Dumbledore, who he trusted the most, and Harry never mentioned it to them.

】

Harry's heart chuckled at the recollection.

Oh no, Mr. Ollivander wouldn't tell the secret?

Barbie Q ...... If Mr. Ollivander is going to say it, Rita Skeeter may be going to make some big news......

Fortunately, Mr. Ollivander was not a big mouth, which made Harry breathe a sigh of relief.

Mr. Ollivander examined Harry's wand for much longer than the others'. Finally, he sent a puff of wine to his wand and handed it back to Harry, loudly announcing that it was in good shape.

Harry's heart was relieved at this point, and he glanced at Mr. Ollivander with a little gratitude, and gave Mr. Ollivander a little inexplicable.

Good boy, why are you looking at me like that? It was the wand that chose you, and I didn't choose you......

He seemed to have forgotten that Voldemort's wand and Harry's wand were "brothers".

"Alright, the detection of the wand is over here, thank you for your cooperation," Dumbledore said, standing up at the referee's table, "I think you've been standing for so long, and you're a little tired, so...... You can go back and rest, maybe it's more convenient to go down and eat directly, anyway, the meal will start soon. ”

Catherine stood up to leave, but the referee, Mr. Ludo Bagman, who was sitting not far away, jumped up and cleared his throat.

"Take a picture, hey, Dumbledore, let's take a picture!" Bagman excitedly shouted, "After all, it's a big event that has been rare in many years, so let's have an intimate photo with our referees and warriors, which is more memorable—what do you think, Rita?" ”

As he said this, Mr. Bagman looked back at Lady Rita Skeeter, as if looking for an ally to back up his words. ”

Rita Skeeter first glanced at Louis, saw that Louis had no intention of objecting, and even nodded to her without a trace, and then said, "Hmm...... Well, let's take a group photo first. She said, her gaze falling to Harry again, "Maybe a few more solo shots later." ”

It took a long time to take the photo, after all, the combination of these people was too strange - Madame Maxim, who was tall, would block everyone from her position, and the room was too small for the photographer to stand far away and take her completely into the camera, and finally she had to sit down at Louis's suggestion, and everyone else stood around her.

Karkaroff kept running his fingers around his goatee, trying to curl it. Krum's behavior is not in line with his status as a Quidditch star, and he was expected to be used to this kind of photo shooting, but he did not expect him to hide behind everyone.

Are you shy of a bubble teapot? Seeing that such a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist actually had a hint of blush on his face, Louis really wanted to throw him in the bathroom, it was still a girl's bathroom.

The photographer seems to be particularly keen to get Fleur in front, but Rita Skeeter always catches up and pulls Harry to a more prominent position, as if Harry were her illegitimate child.

Marilyn Chabanor stood by Cedric's side more reservedly, and she had a better conversation with Cedric, apparently wanting to have a good relationship with him; And Vasily Petronko is also trying to shrink himself to Cedric's side, presumably planning to have a good relationship with him.

It seems that Cedric's affinity is really not small.

Catherine stood behind Lady Maxim very casually, which was arranged by Lady Maxim - she liked and admired Catherine very much, and if it weren't for Dumbledore still sitting beside her, she would have to ask Catherine if she had any intention of transferring schools.

But this is impossible after all, after all, Catherine can't leave Louis and go to Beauxbatons alone.

So in the end, the position for the photo was set, and it was Madame Maxim who sat in the middle, and since the Headmaster of Beauxbatons was also sitting, it must not be favorable, so the photographer moved two more chairs, and let Dumbledore and the Headmaster and Karkaroff also sit next to her; Catherine's standing was in the center, behind Madame Maxim; On her side were Marilyn, Cedric, and Harry, who stood behind Headmaster Dumbledore.

On Catherine's other side, there is a dazed Fleur, an unwilling Vasily, and Victor.

It seems that Fleur doesn't understand why her position was squeezed away by Marilyn.

The photographer worked very hard, and took several photos from various angles before it was over.

Then, Ms. Rita Skeeter insisted on taking solo photos of the warriors one by one, and it took a long time for them to finally end their long photo shoot in various senses.

Rita is very good at doing things, she excuses that the warriors can call her best friends to take a photo together, and takes several more photos of Louis and Catherine as a souvenir.

Harry looked at Zhang Qiu, whose eyes were full of Cedric, and Cedric took a photo together, more or less tasteful.

But fortunately, Ginny came over in time and pulled Ron and Hermione together to take a lot of pictures with Harry.

Rita looked at Ginny and Hermione with sparkling eyes, and had already typed countless drafts in her mind, as if she was wondering how to write about how Harry, the Savior and Warrior of Hogwarts, would step on two boats.

Love triangles are the best topic in the world to attract attention, and it is the same in any country and group, and wizards are naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is just before the start of the first game.

Luis has seen Harry in the Great Hall only a limited number of times lately, and he knows that Harry isn't having a good time thanks to Rita Skeeter's reporting—not too good, of course, but a little complicated. Ms. Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament was published, not so much as a coverage of the Triwizard Tournament as an addition to Harry's life.

Much of the first page of the newspaper was occupied by a picture of Harry, and the entire article was about Harry, with the rest of the warriors' names squeezed into the last line, and Fleur's name misspelled.

The Hufflepuff, who had already reconciled, naturally didn't say anything, but Harry still felt a little uncomfortable, and he specially found Cedric to apologize, but he didn't expect Cedric to pat him very generously and said that it was nothing, and it was not his fault.

When Luis watched Harry talk to himself about Cedric, he always had the illusion of seeing Ronaldo mention Kaka......

But Harry's annoyance doesn't come from the hostility of the others, but from Rita Skeeter's reporting bias.

Whenever he remembered what Ms. Skeeter had said to him in the broomstick compartment, his face felt hot.

"You don't want your parents to be ashamed of you, do you?"

Harry could still recall the burning gaze of Miss Skeeter at that time, and it could even burn a hole.

Not to mention Miss Skeeter's article in the Daily Prophet, Harry felt like he was socially dead.

"I think it was my parents who gave me strength. I know they would be very proud of me if they could see me now. ”

“…… Yes, there are times during the night when I still cry for them, and I don't feel ashamed to admit it. ”

"I know nothing can hurt me in the game because they are watching over me......"

And that's not all, Rita Skeeter not only turned his ramblings into disgusting tirades, but also asked others what they thought of him.

"Harry has finally found his first love at Hogwarts, Ginny Wesley, the youngest daughter of Wesley." Colin Creevey, who claims to be a close friend of Harry's, said.

"Harry was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger, Miss Granger was amazingly beautiful, born into a Muggle family, and like Harry, she was one of the top students in school." One Gryffindor, who did not want to be named, said, "Maybe it's the affection between geniuses that makes their relationship so good, and oh my God, I even think the two of them will be more compatible together......

Since the appearance of this article, Harry has fallen into all kinds of strange eyes, including mother fans, mainly senior sisters, such as Angelina, who feel sorry for the poor big boy portrayed by Ms. Skeeter who "secretly cries in the bed in the middle of the night and thinks about his mother", shush Harry when he has nothing to do, and look at Harry with that kind of Xizi heart-to-heart look, and the distress on his face is obvious.

The other part is dominated by yin and yang, such as Draco, when they were in Potions class together, Harry accidentally got into tears, and happened to be seen by Draco.

"Oh, Ponter, what's wrong with you?" Draco asked in a very concerned tone, pulling a handkerchief from his bosom and handing it to Harry, "Wipe your tears with this, poor boy, you must be missing your mother......

For a moment, Harry really wanted to give Draco a weapon to remove you, the kind of weapon that the owner of the weapon used to remove you.

Others ridiculed him for his "superior grades", yes, it happened in Potions class again, except that it was Snape who ridiculed him.

"Top students...... Tsk......" Snape looked at Harry with a trashy look, looking at Harry with extreme disgust, "I don't know when you became a top student, Ponter, I just hope that Miss Skeeter's standards are not Longbottom." ”

Neville, whose name was mentioned, shook his hand and sprinkled water on Seamus's leg.

Snape was already surprised, and instead of insulting Neville, he said in a spurt: "Gryffindor deducts five points, and I hope that the next time I spill on Mr. Finnigan's leg will not be a poisonous potion." ”

Of course, Harry wasn't alone in this embarrassment, Hermione was also in trouble.

"Just her? Amazingly beautiful? Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin said strangely when she saw Hermione, "On what basis is she judged?" Oh, if it's a beaver family, Miss Granger is truly amazingly beautiful......"

Immediately, a burst of ridicule erupted in the birth of her children.

Should I say it or not, the whole of Slytherin knows Hermione's nickname - Beaver...... This is also thanks to Catherine three years ago.

Hermione, learning Catherine's manners, glanced at them with very queenly contempt, and strode forward with her chin raised as if she hadn't heard anything.

The effect was so good that the Slytherin girls felt a little uninteresting all of a sudden.

Now there is no one who suffers more than Ginny and Ron.

It hurts, it hurts, my boyfriend/girlfriend was fired, and the butterbeer hurts in my throat.

Ron sat a little depressed in the Great Hall, drinking Butterbeer alone, even though he trusted his good brother Harry and didn't believe that Hermione would betray him, but he couldn't stop thinking about what was written in the Daily Prophet.

He couldn't go to anyone to talk to, so he wanted to go to Louis, but the maid told him that Louis was not there for the time being, so he could only sit in the auditorium, order a glass of butterbeer and drink it slowly.

There's no alcohol though.

"Ronald!" He heard someone calling him in his ear, a familiar voice, and when he looked back, he felt like someone was kissing him.

It's Hermione.
