This notice completely ignited the restless hearts of the little wizards, like a boulder suddenly falling on the surface of a calm lake.

There was a huge wave, and the entire foyer was boiling, and it was the sound of discussion.

"Great!" Harry said, "The last class on Friday is Potions class!" Snape didn't have time to poison us all! ”

Yes? The first reaction when I saw the notice was this? Harry, how scared are you of Professor Snape?

"In one week, how do you think they're going to pick the warriors from each school?"

Ron struggled to squeeze his way through the crowd as they prepared to make their way to the restaurant.

"Hmm- maybe it's for all the squads to fight? Pick the one who wins last? Harry thought for a moment and tentatively proposed a 'very fair' measure.

Zhang Xiao's ears moved, and he always felt that this statement was very familiar

The sect is more common than the most common episode in Xianxia, which appears more frequently than auctions.

"Harry, it's impossible, it's impossible to think about it." Hermione said seriously, "Come to think of it, some people signed up for two teams at the same time. ”

Malfoy shook his head as well: "Potter, what you're talking about isn't magical at all, I think it's probably divination?" ”

The appearance of this notice in the foyer had a noticeable effect on the people who lived in the castle.

For the next week, there seemed to be only one topic of conversation in the castle: Super Tournament.

Rumors and conjectures spread faster than viruses, and what a little wizard says doesn't spread throughout the school in a day.

For example, those people will become Hogwarts Champions, what events will the Championship have, how the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students will be different from them, and how those from other schools will come over.

As well as whether the tournament event will be Quidditch.

Zhang Xiao noticed that the castle seemed to be being thoroughly cleaned.

The dirty portraits were scrubbed clean, and the scrubbed figures were unhappy.

They sat hunched in the frame, muttering sullenly, grinning in pain each time they touched the tender pink flesh of their faces.

The castle's moving armor has become as smooth as new under the influence of magic, and it no longer crunches when moving.

The professors cast new spells on them, and when they were bored, the armor would sing aloud.

It's just that on the way to the library, there was a piece of armor that sang so badly that his companion couldn't bear it anymore and smashed him to the ground with a huge axe.

Administrator Filch seems to have been suffering from hysteria lately, staring suspiciously at every student who passes by.

Will suddenly scream "Tuck your shirt into your pants, sloppy!" ”

On top of that, he lashed out at the students who forgot to clean their shoes, causing two first-year girls to be admitted to the school hospital.

The elves worked extra hard, and all the windows and floors were clean as new.

Yun Bo has already told Zhang Xiao that all the elves are gearing up, and they must let the students of other schools see the best Hogwarts!

This strong sense of collective pride is also reflected in the students and teachers.

Zhang Xiao found that the unity of the whole school that she had worked hard for several years had been strangely realized during this period.

As soon as there was a quarrel or argument between the young wizards of different academies over the academy, someone would shout at a high level:

"Alright, you're all Hogwarts students, are you going to quarrel in front of the whole world when the other houses come?"

At this time, the little wizards would decisively close their mouths and leave in a huff.

For a while, the atmosphere in the school actually improved greatly.

The little wizards who knew they couldn't or didn't plan to become warriors began to think about how to become a qualified cheerleader and cheer on the school's warriors.

The other professors also looked nervous.

"Goyle, please do well, don't show your stuff in front of Durmstrang and let them see that you don't even have a simple transformation charm!" As class was about to end, Professor McGonagall yelled.

"And you Crabbe, what are you laughing at? How much better are you than Goyle? ”

The lesson went so badly that Goyle accidentally grafted his ear onto a cactus.

Professor Snape's verbal attacks were even sharper:

"I suggest that some of you say that you are visiting Hogwarts, that you are actually a Squib, not a Hogwarts student."

The little wizards who had just been criticized shrugged their heads, angry and anxious.

He said sarcastically in a cold, protracted tone:

"Otherwise, it's hard for you to explain to the students of the other houses why you're in your fourth year and can't even mix even the simplest antidote potions."

No matter how Hogwarts treats the other houses that are coming, the week has passed in anticipation of everyone.

On the morning of Oct. 30, they went downstairs for breakfast to find the auditorium renovated overnight.

Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing one of Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, Hufflepuff with a black badger on a yellow background, and Slytherin with a silver python on a green background.

Behind the teacher's desk, hung the largest banner with the coat of arms of Hogwarts: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake linked together with a large letter H around it.

"I wrote to my dad to find out something about the tournament from him."

Brother Xiao Ma rubbed his forehead and said distressedly: "But Dad doesn't know much about the tournament, he said that they have stopped going to school for a long time."

Other than that, the Triwizard Tournament is more of a legend, and it seems that the people who are currently alive have not experienced the tournament. ”

Zhang Xiaopao pulled his plate and said disappreciatively:

"I don't think you have to work hard to understand this, in the past, the tournament was conducted by one person, and only 3 schools participated, but this tournament has a large number of participants, and the competition situation will not be the same.

Miscalculations are a bad thing. ”

Malfoy thought for a moment and nodded, "It makes sense that there is too little information."

"How's your training going?" Zhang Xiao was even more curious about what special training the glove lady had given them, and several little wizards actually kept a rare secret this time and didn't say anything.

Even Ron, who was most willing to show off, only looked proud when he asked, and only said that his strength had improved a lot.

"It's very good, I think I'm a world away from what I used to be, and the training has been very effective!"

Malfoy pressed his smugness and replied with the expression that wanted to laugh but didn't.

In short, there was a sense of anticipatory joy in the air at Hogwarts on this day.

In class, no one was paying attention, and everyone thought that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

In the class of the more amiable Professor Flitwick, some students even dared to let Professor Flitwick talk about the upcoming Super Tournament.

"Tournament?" Professor Flitwick, who was sitting on a children's version of the auspicious cloud, looked at the little wizard who nodded hurriedly with a smile.

"Oh-yes, I do know a little."

The eyes of the little wizards sparkled:

"Professor, just say a little, just a little!"

"No, children, surprises need to be discovered by themselves, there will be no surprises when you say it, I can only say that it is quite bold, even the previous top three cups did not have such a bold competition!"

Flitwick said with a little anticipation:

"It can only be said that the Ministry of Magic is extremely bold this time, okay boys, why don't you take advantage of the moment to think about how to communicate with the students of other academies, this is unprecedented, wizards from all over the world have gathered!"

The little wizards wanted to ask again, but Professor Flitwick was resolute and had no choice but to give up.

Because class has to be left half an hour early. When the bell rang early, the little wizards immediately cheered, picked up their school bags, and hurried back to their dormitories as they were told, put down their school bags and textbooks, put on their cloaks, and then rushed down the stairs in three steps and two steps to the foyer.

Girls come very slowly, many girls dress up with flowers, all kinds of jewelry shiny, dazzling.

The dean of the college, with the help of the prefect, is ordering his own students to line up.

"Weasley, put your hat on!" Professor McGonagall sternly said to Ron, "Miss Petill, take that ridiculous thing off your hair. ”

Parvati frowned unhappily and removed a large butterfly headdress from her braid.

"Please come with me," said Professor McGonagall, "and the first-year students are in front...... Don't crowd ......"

They walked down the steps and stood in front of the castle in a line.

It was a cold, airy evening, and night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.

Some of the young wizards were shaking with excitement, and Colin Creevey was clinging to his camera, which Professor McGonagall had given permission.

Because the boy screamed in despair as soon as he left the camera, even Professor McGonagall was helpless but to let him carry it.

Zhang Xiao stood in the middle of the team, but it was not cold, and the little brother next to him was whispering what he knew:

"Durmstrang is very open-minded about the dark arts, and my mom was going to let me go to Durmstrang in the first place, but it was too far from home."

The young wizards excitedly scanned the darkening field, but there was no movement.

Everything was silent and peaceful, no different from the usual.

At that moment, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with the other teachers, raised his head and stared into the distance.

A little later than him, Zhang Xiao also raised his head suddenly.

Here it comes!
