Chapter 606: Heat
Amosta's eyes drooped, and he quietly pondered Ollivanders' words, and he could probably understand what Ollivander was trying to say.
If you think about it, Harry is really a good opponent chosen by God for Voldemort, their souls are intertwined, they also use Fawkes's feathers as a wand core, and then, if Voldemort chooses Harry's blood for resurrection, it will be closely related.
These triple connections correspond to three levels of powerful protection, and if you put yourself in your shoes, even if he becomes Voldemort, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through such protection.
Amosta glanced at Dumbledore, who had no different color, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
The seemingly dangerous situation is actually nine times out of ten, Voldemort is now hiding in the shadows waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected, but Dumbledore has even made it clear how he died, and perhaps the biggest obstacle in making Voldemort completely finished is Voldemort's Horcrux.
The theory is that in fact accidents always happen, don't they?
For example, this time, he and Dumbledore had clearly taken the lead, but the result was still unexpected.
Because of his appearance, the original predetermined 'fate' of this world has forked, and it seems that he has handled most of the crises perfectly, but in fact, those invisible dangers are lurking in the shadows, and Amosta has a feeling. No, it is almost certain that one day in the future, these accumulated crises will be completely ignited, and at that time, the situation will most likely be out of control!
Dumbledore was not involved in the wand detection process that was about to begin, and in essence, he had already handed over most of the business, leaving Minerva in charge of the internal affairs of the school's operations, and Amosta dealing with the outside world on behalf of Hogwarts.
"Let's go, Mr. Ollivander, let's meet the warriors who are about to face the challenge--"
The location for the Warrior Wand Test was arranged in a large classroom on the second floor, mainly because it was not only a wand test, but also the first opportunity for the Warriors from the three schools to meet with the public.
He didn't want the outside public opinion to interfere with the Warriors' lives, which added a lot of useless pressure to the Warriors, but as the game time approached, it did give them a sense of urgency.
A large stretch of hallway on the second floor was buzzing with the sound of thousands of bees flapping their wings. As he descended the stairs, Amosta found that Filch, whom he had ordered to maintain order, had been squeezed out of the door of the classroom where the reception had been arranged, and he let out desperate cries as he struggled to squeeze into the classroom.
"Oh, what a scene--"
Ollivander followed behind Amosta, who didn't seem to be worried at all, and said with a smile,
"I haven't seen anything like this in years."
"Let me take care of it--"
Amosta came up behind Filch, patted him on the shoulder, and as he spoke, he took out his wand and stood in the hallway to aim at the classroom, and after a complicated spell casting, the space suddenly blurred for a moment, and then, the reporters in the classroom swirled in unison, and when they came back to their senses, they were shocked to find that the space in the classroom had changed dramatically, becoming as large as the auditorium below.
"Oh, it's long overdue!"
A photographer who lost his shoes said angrily.
Then, people found a man with a unique temperament appearing at the door of this classroom.
The noisy crowd was silent for a moment, and people turned their eyes to the door, and at a certain moment, the noise just now seemed to be amplified by magic, and it became even more deafening!
"You promised me an exclusive interview, Brian!"
The first to shout was Rita Skeeter, who screamed as she struggled to stand on her tiptoes in the middle of a large crowd of peers. Her weirdly stiff, wavy curls had become a clatter of loose sand, and her bejeweled eyes somehow had many finger prints.
"The Daily Prophet is the only one who has come to you, isn't it?"
Despite the commotion in the classroom, Amosta let his voice reach Rita's ears with precision.
There were probably dozens of exposure lights lit up in front of Amosta at the same time, and many people were talking to him,
"This Triwizard Tournament has suddenly announced that Hogwarts, as the host school, can have two Warriors, may I ask if this is the convenience you are using your position to seek for Hogwarts, Mr. Bryan!"
A cowboy-dressed, Hispanic-skinned wizard yelled.
"Tell me what you think of the Four Warriors, Mr. Blaine!"
A goblin jumped onto the top of a stacked desk on the side of the classroom and waved his arms desperately at Amosta, "Who do you think is most likely to win!" ”
"WWN has announced that it will use special means to broadcast the Triwizard Tournament in multiple countries simultaneously, the goblins rent multiple Muggle sports venues and sell tickets, according to the preliminary investigation, the amount of money involved is huge, and they all advertise that they have the permission of the tournament team, do you have anything to do with this, Mr. Bryan, is there any transfer of interests in this!"
Each of the hundred or so reporters in the room was asking questions, some of them sharp-tongued, but Amosta, unheard, smiling at the end, led Ollivander towards Madame Maxim, and as he went, the agitated reporters parted like butter cut by a hot knife, and none dared to stand in his way.
Finally, Amosta saw several warriors surrounded by the group, and judging by their expressions, they seemed to be frightened by the battle.
Victor and Fleur had both dealt with people in public, but they both looked at a loss at the moment, not knowing how to deal with the excited interviewers, but with Madame Maxim and Professor Karkaroff here, they weren't too nervous.
And the people who hadn't been able to talk to Hogwarts before were here, and Cedric and Hermione looked at the reporters who looked like they had drunk doping in horror, like two little white rabbits surrounded by wolves.
"It's just a good time, Brian!" Madame Maxim said a little angrily.
"We're lucky enough to witness the excellent organizational skills of Hogwarts, Brian!"
Karkarov said angrily, the silver robe he was wearing, a large piece of hair was missing from the arm, and I don't know who cut it off.
"Oh, I'm sorry--"
Amosta laughed,
"I was advised to schedule the meeting on a day off so that the professors would have time to help maintain order, but I thought it would be even more chaotic if it were arranged. You know, the little wizards in this school are very curious. ”
Amosta looked at Cedric and Hermione and gave them a reassuring look, which finally made the shoulders of the two little wizards who had been standing for a long time relax in horror.
"What charter are we, Amosta?"
Ludo Bagman didn't know where to squeeze out, he was out of breath and dizzy, and it looked like he had just been bombarded by reporters.
Amosta looked around, not realizing that Barty Crouch was expected.
"Before we introduce you to our four Warriors, it is very important that we do a test of the Warriors' wands, as is traditional, because this is their only reliable companion in the game."
Hermione noticed that Professor Bryan didn't do anything special, but after he spoke, it suddenly became orderly, not at all chaotic like it had just been, and she didn't even remember how she had entered the classroom, as if she had just appeared in the doorway and been carried in by countless hands.
The wand detection ritual was nothing to say, it was a traditional charter, but the reporters who came here were still very interested, and they watched with great interest as Mr. Ollivander checked the wands of several warriors, and then, the owner of the Wizard costume store of the Fengya brand took measurements for the warriors in a small room that Amosta Bryan had conjured out of thin air, preparing the costumes for the next match, Fleur glared at him plaintively, but finally did not question it in full view.
The process took about half an hour, and at the end, Amosta beckoned several warriors, as well as Karkaroff and Madame Maxim, to sit down at the reserved row of tables and chairs.
"Now, we're ready to answer some of the most popular questions in the wizarding world, but please watch the time--"
Amosta said with a smile.
"Mr. Bryan!"
As if the time-out had been restored, the magnified classroom was immediately in an uproar, and the pressure of the reporters' eager appearance made even the principals of the other two schools feel suffocated, not to mention the immature warriors.
Many people were asking questions, but Amosta still singled out Rita Skeeter, after all, the two men had some friendship, although it was not good or bad.
"According to rumors, one of the two Champions of Hogwarts was selected through unruly means!"
Rita looked sharply at Hermione Granger, and her sharp question made Hermione's face turn blue, and her body stiffened as if she had been under a petrification spell.
"In order to cover up the scandal, the tournament team temporarily changed the rules to allow Hogwarts to have two Warriors, is this the truth of the matter?"
"It's nonsense that conspiracy theorists have come up with--"
The question that made Hermione's heart flutter didn't shake the gentle smile on Professor Blaine's face,
"You must know that before this Triwizard Tournament, there is no age limit for the selection of warriors, and in consideration of reducing the risk of the competition, there are special rules for this competition, which does not allow young wizards under the age of 17 to declare the competition.
And at the beginning of this school year, when we announced this rule to the students, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the young underage wizards, who believed that their rights should not be taken away, they should have the right to fight for the glory of their respective schools, so we made an attempt - Hogwarts selected some excellent underage wizards and sent their names to the Goblet of Fire, Miss Hermione Granger is the best among them, she will fight on behalf of all the underage wizards of the three schools"
This is a complete lie!
Hermione tried to keep her expression from showing trepidation, she didn't know how Professor Bryan had the audacity to lie about such a big matter in front of so many reporters.
If Amosta had known Hermione's thoughts, he might have smiled and said to her, "You're too innocent--
The truth will always spread in a very small circle, and even if all the Hogwarts students can hear that there is something wrong with it, it is still a small part, and for the tens of thousands of wizarding people in the European wizarding community, they just want to see the excitement, and they will even hope that the Triwizard Tournament will produce as many warriors as possible, and a logical statement about the reason why this happened is enough for them (end of this chapter)
