In mid-October, a notice popped up on the school's bulletin board:

"The Six"

"Representatives of Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Castrobusche, the Magic Offices and Ilvermorny will arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 30."

"The afternoon class will end half an hour early, and students are asked to bring their non-essential belongings back to the dormitory, get dressed and go to the open space in front of the castle to meet our guests, and then join the welcome banquet."

As soon as this notice came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the school and brought a lot of fun to the students.

Originally, the Final Six Tournament had not caused much discussion in the school, but after this notice appeared, everyone began to continue to talk about this topic again.

Who will be a Hogwarts Champion, what events will appear in the Final Six Tournament, and how will students from other schools differ from Hogwarts......

These are the objects of intense discussion among the students.

As they discussed, the students' conversation turned to the long-earned topic of which of the six magic schools was the strongest.

Most of the students firmly believe that Hogwarts is the best school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world.

Isn't it? After all, the professors at Hogwarts advertise it like this every year!

And he is so good, and only Hogwarts sent him an admission letter and discovered his talent, then Hogwarts is definitely not the best!

But whenever she hears this, Harley always chooses to speed up.

If others don't know the truth, can she still not know?

Hogwarts is ranked sixth in the International Confederation of Wizards, barely in the middle of the eleven schools of witchcraft and wizardry.

This is also to blame others, such as the Kodos Dorez School of Magic and Wizardry on the plains of Western Siberia is weak in transfiguration, and strong in combat magic;

Castro's herbalism and conservation of magical beasts are in a league of their own, while the Charms class is not very good;

Beauxbatons is rich and extremely good at alchemy, but the level of courses in the field of combat is relatively average......

It can be said that ten of the eleven existing schools have their own strengths and weaknesses.

If Hogwarts were different, it was unique, and Defence Against the Dark Arts was not only flawed, but flawed.

After all, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a one-time consumable that has to be changed once a year.

Everyone else is lame, and Hogwarts has a broken leg. How can this compete with others!

Now Hogwarts can rank sixth, all thanks to the excellent teaching strength of the four directors of Hogwarts, and the average score has been raised through the high scores of other compulsory courses.

In addition, Professor Dumbledore is the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, and this ranking is released by the International Confederation of Wizards, so everyone has to give the president's school a little face.

Otherwise, Hogwarts' ranking ...... I'm afraid we'll have to drop it again.

…………

The imminent arrival of five other schools of witchcraft and wizardry at Hogwarts had a significant impact on the castle.

One of the most obvious is that Hogwarts castle suddenly ...... It became completely new.

The peeling wallpaper in the bedroom was plastered with new ones, the worn bricks on the floor were restored to their original condition, all the graffiti on the walls was gone, and a new layer of lime was painted.

The dusty portraits in the hallway had been scrubbed clean, and even the back of the portraits had been redone.

However, this made the portraits a little unhappy, as it seemed that they were scrubbing too hard, and they wiped out part of the color on their faces.

As a result, the portraits now grin in pain when they touch the newly exposed pink flesh.

In the corridors of the castle, all sorts of old and worn armor were shiny, and new lubricating oil was poured on the joints, so that they no longer squeaked when they moved.

Every day, Hallie notices Filch cleaning and part-time renovation tasks, all in all.

This also made Filch's nerves extremely sensitive, and he would lash out whenever a student soiled the floor, and even frightened the two first-year girls into hysteria.

And Filch also made a suggestion to the capable Vice Chancellor McGonagall.

He suggested that the school should uniformly require students to have no garbage in the garbage cans in the corners, no quilts and clothes on the beds in the dormitory, and no textbooks and quill pens on the desks in the classrooms.

Many young wizards complained, why didn't he just stipulate that no one was allowed to stand on the ground! (The resentment of the sleeping is damned!) ）

Thankfully, Professor McGonagall dismissed the impersonal suggestion, which caused Filch to mumble for days.

The Ghosts also called an emergency meeting, and Barrow the Bloody warned Peeves to stop him from causing trouble during the Six-Wizard Tournament.

In exchange, of course, Peeves is allowed to attend the opening dinner next year.

The Ghosts didn't really want to do that, as Peeves had been forbidden to attend the opening dinner.

But on the first day of school this year, Peeves made a big fuss in the kitchen, and although there were many dishes that day, the number was seriously insufficient.

The house-elves had to work crazy overtime to barely make it to the school-opening dinner that day.

So if you don't budge now, why don't you wait until the other schools arrive and see Peeves' destructive abilities?

The faculty members also became more and more nervous, and Professor McGonagall roared directly in class:

"Mr. Longbottom, I beg you to behave well, and don't show your stuff in front of Durmstran's guests, and let them see that you don't even have a simple transformation charm!"

With a roar, Professor McGonagall turned Neville's grafted ear back onto the cactus.

In addition to disciplining students in class, the professors also decided to focus on problem students.

The Mischievous Duo – The Weasley Twins, Exploding Genius Seamus, Neville the Cauldron Melter......

Professor McGonagall suddenly felt that she was a little superior, why are all Gryffindor talents!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more cute students like Hallie who are obedient and well-behaved and have excellent grades!

…………

In this way, the time quickly came to October 30th.

When the students went downstairs for breakfast that morning, they found that the auditorium had been renovated overnight.

On the walls are four large silk banners, each representing one of Hogwarts houses.

But Harley always felt a little awkward, why is the Slytherin python silver? The witch is skeptical online!

Early in the morning, as soon as Harley sat down, the Weasley twins came over.

Fred said mysteriously, "Harley, are you sure you're going to sign up for the Final Six Tournament?" ”

"Of course." Hallie slathered strawberry jam on her slices of bread, "Why shouldn't I attend?" ”

"Tsk." George smacked his tongue hard, "Well, Fred, lo and behold, I said Harley wasn't going to give up. ”

"So what?" Fred asked rhetorically,

"Everyone has long guessed that Hallie will participate in the Final Six Tournament and has a high probability of becoming a Warrior."

"But that doesn't stop us from trying again! Cedric is ready to sign up, are you still ready to give up? ”

"Oh? What are the two Weasleys going to do? A somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Of course, I'm trying to find a way to sign up for the Final Six Tournament." Fred replied without even thinking about it,

"We both believe in our own strength, and George, don't stab me in the ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw his brother's strange expression.

Wait, Fred suddenly realized that the voice that he had just remembered behind him was ...... Why is it so familiar?

Immediately after, Fred turned his head to see Professor McGonagall behind him!

Fred subconsciously wanted to lean back, but the chair was unstable, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

Good brother George laughed directly at this scene, but quickly covered his mouth and pulled Fredy up.

Professor McGonagall glared at the living treasures, then turned to look at Harley:

"Hallie, come to my office after dinner. Hermione, come along, too. ”

Hallie and Hermione looked at each other, unaware of what was happening, but quickly settled their breakfast.

When I arrived at McGonagall's office, Professor McGonagall was already sitting behind her desk.

"Sit down, relax, and you'll just think it's a chat."

With that, Professor McGonagall stepped out from behind the desk and handed Harley and Hermione a bag with the Traceless Stretching Charm cast:

"Hallie, Hermione, this is Sirius's custom clothes and jewelry."

"He said that these things are worth a lot of money, so he sent them over by hand and asked me to hand them over."

A rich smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face, and she rubbed Harley's hair:

"Of course, Sirius has given me more than that."

"He also gave me a set of photos of Halle's outfit and asked me to do me a favor and help you choose one when you need to wear it."

"After all, he personally feels that your taste seems to be a bit wrong."

"I helped you with the staff by the way, and I feel that these clothes are good."

"It just so happens that tonight when we welcome the guests, each academy has to send someone to stand at the front of the line."

"Why don't you think about it? As the representative of Gryffindor, I will now help you choose a set of clothes to wear when the time comes. I think everything is fine except for the suit. ”

Hallie's face turned red instantly, and she whispered:

"This ...... That's not good, Professor McGonagall. ”

"I wouldn't mind standing at the front of the line representing Gryffindor, but I really think the suit looks good, too."

"What kind of suit are you wearing?" Professor McGonagall glared, "Aren't those dresses pretty?" ”

"Although your dean is old and can't keep up with the trend of the times, at least you can see which outfit looks better!"

Harley didn't dare to look up at the dean's words, and quietly turned her head to Hermione for help.

However, Hermione only cared about tilting her head and smiling on the sidelines, and didn't pay attention to her best friend at all.

In the end, under Professor McGonagall's intimidation, Hallie "reluctantly" chose the neutral black gown.

As for the other two dresses, the same length dress as Hermione and the black deep V dress, Hallie firmly refused.

It's too shameful to wear that kind of dress now, at least I'll have to wait until the prom to wear it!

On this day, the students did not pay much attention to class, which made the professors very angry, but they did not bother to confine the distracted students.

When the bell rang early, everyone hurried back to the tower and then to the open space in front of Hogwarts Castle.

Deans and prefects of various faculties are directing students to line up.

It can be seen that everyone has carefully dressed up and selected their favorite clothes.

However, there was a slight commotion on the Ravenclaw side, and when Harley looked up, she saw Luna wearing a robe full of sequins, which also shone with colorful light.

Well, good, it's very Luna.

Hufflepuff leads their prefect and is considered the best Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory.

Ravenclaw led the way with their Quidditch captain, Roger Davies.

At the front of Slytherin stood Malfoy, after all, their family was the noblest in Slytherin terms of blood, and they met their selection criteria very well.

Harley was wearing that gorgeous black gown and white silk gloves on both hands, and her whole person exuded an elegant atmosphere.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to the arrival of people from other colleges.

However, they soon became less excited, after all, almost everyone chose light clothing in order to look good.

But if you avoid bloat, you can't avoid the cold.

It's the end of October, and the evenings in England are starting to get cold.

Especially as the sun was gradually setting and the night was slowly falling, Harley faintly heard the sound of chattering teeth and complaints from the crowd:

"Why haven't people from other schools come yet? I'm going to freeze to death! ”

Professor McGonagall turned her head in an instant, giving Ron a death stare.

Ron shuddered and quickly stood up straight, not daring to whisper to Seamus anymore.

"Ahh Dumbledore, who was standing at the front, suddenly shouted,

"If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' representatives have arrived!"

Before the students could take the initiative to look for it, a behemoth appeared in the sky.

The powdery blue carriage familiar to Harry flew towards Hogwarts under the guidance of twelve rune horses.

The carriage had clearly been carefully renovated, the oak rubbers on it were shiny, and the metal edges, which were already about to fade, were repainted with gold paint.

As if to echo Halloween, several jack-o'-lanterns were hung on the rim of the carriage, also studded with gems.

In short, the carriage reveals one word from the inside out:

Rich!

Is this a bug? I can always see the background prompting that I have corrected the error, but when I click in and look at it, it is blank, which is outrageous.
