Chapter 277: Methods of Cheating
The next day, Saturday, no classes.
Generally speaking, most people sleep in, but today there are exceptionally many early risers.
When Knicks woke up, he found that it was just him and Neville in the dorm room, and everyone else was up.
Entering the auditorium coincides with an upperclassman Slytherin student, placing a note with his name on it into the Goblet of Fire. This person is not well-known in school, I heard that he has passed a grade, and this year he just caught up with the Goblet of Fire.
"Brother, this way." Tilfa shouted at the Gryffindor table.
Beside her, Luna and Ginny chat and eat breakfast. Nix sat down, and a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork and a few buns appeared in front of him.
Hermione, who was reading a book next to her, said, "Nyx, you're putting a burden on the house-elves, who have to cook an extra kind of food just because you're alone."
"Then you can eat with me tomorrow, it will make them a lot easier. Trust me, two identical breakfasts are much less effort than two different breakfasts." Nicks sophistry.
Hermione frowned, something was wrong.
Tifa said, "Brother, when are you going to help me get an autograph?"
Nicks immediately said to Harry, who was munching on bread not far away, "Harry, please do something."
"If you're referring to autographs, don't look for me, I'm still worried about how to get him to autograph me?" Harry was not far from the siblings and heard their conversation.
"No, I want to say, please help me talk to that Victor Krum, I can make him faster, stronger, with better eyes, and detect the Golden Snitch sooner." Nick Dow.
"You still have such potions?" Ron was shocked.
"But I don't know him." Harry said.
Nix said meaningfully, "Yes." After all, you're the famous Harry Potter, and he'll be honored if you take the initiative to talk to him."
"I always feel like you shouldn't come to Gryffindor, Knicks." Hermione said, "Harry's reputation is being used by you to promote potions, and only Slytherin can do it."
"You're biased." Before Knicks could finish speaking, a burst of laughter interrupted him.
Several people looked back.
George and Fred and their roommate Lee Jordan hurried down the stairs and they looked excited. br>
As he passed by the Knicks and the others, Fred smirked, "It's done."
"What?" Ron looked up.
"Age-enhancer, stupid."
"One drop per person." George rubbed his hands together and was excited, "We'll just have to grow up for a few more months."
Lee Jordan: "If any of us wins, the thousand gold Galleons will be divided evenly, and the three will be divided."
"I don't think you're going to make it." Hermione reminded them, "Dumbledore must have thought of this."
Nicks interjected, "You're going to fail, and I don't think I should sell my potions to you."
"Why?"
"Maybe even if the potion works, it will be ineffective because you have been taken care of by you, which will affect my credibility." Nix replied.
"Look, we'll make it."
"Ready? Fred."
"Let's go in, George."
Fred and George stood on the edge of the age line and jumped in together.
After a while, the two didn't pop up.
There was a cheer around.
"Their potion works better than the one in the morning, at least it wasn't ejected right away." Ginny and honored.
The Knicks just wanted to ask about the situation.
Fred and George threw the names into the fire.
A crackling sound ensued, and the twins were thrown out.
Their bodies have not changed, but they have grown white beards on their chins. Apparently they not only did not succeed, but they were also punished a little.
The long beard fits Dumbledore's style well.
The crowd laughed when they saw their beards.
"I warn
I've passed you." Dumbledore's voice came from the main entrance of the Great Hall, "I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey."
Nicks looked at the age circle on the ground, thoughtful.
Before Dumbledore left, he asked, "Headmaster, how about I find someone to take the cup, put it in the name, and put it back?"
"Well, you can try. I want to see what your beard looks like, too." Dumbledore said.
"Brother, do you want to try it?" Tifa asked.
Knicks shook his head, "Don't you think it's fun? It's like the principal has given us a problem, and we're trying to solve it."
Dumbledore nodded, "Come on, maybe it can really work."
The Knicks carefully analyzed the failure of the twins just now, and the age line on the ground was indeed deceived, but the spell that made the two of them grow beards also came from the age line on the ground.
He felt that there was a spell in the flames that would intercept all the students of Hogwarts who were not old enough. There are two methods, one is the whitelist mode, where the names of students of sufficient age are entered into a table, and the names that are not in the form cannot be passed.
Given that Harry would be a Warrior, this approach was unlikely.
The other is the blacklist mode, where the names of students who cannot participate are entered into it, and the name plus the school is found to activate the age line on the ground, and the person on the note pops up.
The problem was that Harry couldn't get in either. Thinking that Harry entered as the fourth Warrior, the school that followed his name was most likely not Hogwarts.
Proof of the idea is simple, just know a different school, write the name and throw it in, and don't trigger the age line to make it right.
"Hermione, do you know of any other schools of magic besides our three schools?"
Hermione: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I have a way for us to participate, and it doesn't cost much." Nick Dow.
Ron was interested: "What's the solution?"
"Don't write Hogwarts after the name, write other schools, you are the only one in this school, as long as the Goblet of Fire accepts it, you will definitely become a warrior." Nicks explained.
"What if it doesn't work?" Hermione asked.
"Then a powerful Confusion Charm will be needed." The Knicks looked at Tifa, "Or find a referee to cheat for you."
"See what I'm doing?" Tifa wondered.
"Ludo Bagman owes you money, and if he forgives you, he might actually help you cheat." Nick Dow.
Tifa's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought. She knew that she wasn't good enough, that Ludo Bagman couldn't win by cheating, and that she needed to find a warrior who could defeat the other contestants.
"Brother, who do you think has the best hope of becoming a warrior and defeating the others to get a thousand gold Galleons."
"Cedric Diggory."
Tifa knew that Cedric wouldn't cheat with her, and asked reluctantly, "What about the others?"
"Harry." Nicks replied, pointing at Harry.
Tifa turned his head, "Harry, let's work together, a thousand gold Galleons."
