Chapter 583: Cheating Under Orders?

"Ivan, what's written on it?" Harry squeezed in with difficulty, but he was not tall and was blocked by the little wizard in front, so he couldn't see the specific content of the announcement.

"It says that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at Hogwarts at six o'clock in the evening next Friday. Everyone has to go to the door to greet them." Ivan explained.

"Friday afternoon? Great, the last period should be Potions class!" Harry's first reaction was that Snape might not have to attend Potions class. For him, this was indeed something to be thankful for. .

"Where are the candidates for the Warriors? Have they decided on them?" Ron asked hurriedly.

"It's not mentioned above. We should wait for the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to arrive before choosing together!" Ivan said casually.

In addition to a few of them, the young wizards gathered nearby were also discussing this topic, arguing about who could become the warrior representing Hogwarts.

The young wizards in each college hope that people from their own college can be elected, and some senior students are thinking about how to get the qualification.

The one who has been talked about the most is Cedric of Hufflepuff House.

As for Ivan? Although he performs very well every school year and makes some big news from time to time, Dumbledore's age limit is there, and most young wizards are unwilling to believe that Ivan can find a way to crack it.

Otherwise, what kind of warrior would they choose? Just take a shower and go to sleep

Due to this notice that appeared in the foyer, the campus became very lively in the next few days. The Triwizard Tournament has become a hot spot, and everyone talks about it after dinner.

Even the interior of the castle has begun a new round of decoration, which is even more grand than when Ivan received the Order of Merlin!

Those dusty portraits that had not been touched for hundreds of years were taken down one after another, and they were not hung up again until they were wiped clean and no trace of dust could be seen.

The armors placed in the corridor were all polished so well that they could almost be used as mirrors.

The auditorium used as the reception venue had a completely new look. Huge silk banners were hung on the walls, and the flags of the four major colleges were flying high above. Traces of magic could be seen everywhere.

Other staff and professors were also extremely nervous. They regulated the dress and behavior of every student. If someone looked sloppy, Filch would catch him and scold him.

All of this is naturally to welcome the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Every professor is unwilling to lose the face of Hogwarts in front of the staff and students of other schools.

In the last Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall was rarely furious because Neville accidentally grafted his ear onto a cactus while practicing the Transformation Spell.

"You should see Hals, he learned such a simple spell in about first grade!

I don't expect you to be like him, but I implore you to work harder and never reveal your secret to the people in Durmstrang, letting them see that a fourth-year student can't even learn the most basic transformation spell! "

Professor McGonagall roared fiercely, almost making Neville cry.

After class, Professor McGonagall asked Ivan to stay.

"What a pity, Hals! You are probably the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts. If there was no such age limit, you would have become a warrior and won glory for Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall looked at him. Xiang Yifan said with emotion.

"Professor, do you agree with me to participate?" Ivan looked at her in surprise, surprised that Mag, who had always been strict and orderly, would express his encouragement to participate.

"If it's possible, why not?" Professor McGonagall smiled. Although she didn't know Ivan's strength clearly, she had an idea of ​​it.

The various levels of the Triwizard Tournament are really not dangerous to Ivan, and she certainly has no worries.

On the contrary, McGonagall believed that as long as Ivan was selected, there would be no suspense about the outcome of the Triwizard Tournament. Not to mention his peers, even the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic might not be Ivan's opponent.

What's more important is that except for Ivan, there are really no senior students in Gryffindor College who are good at it.

McGonagall didn't want people from other houses to take the lead, and she didn't want to see Hogwarts lose the game.

The three major universities in Europe have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years. Everyone wants their school to be the best in Europe!

If Ivan could find a way to cross the age limit and put his name into the Goblet of Fire, she believed that Principal Dumbledore would turn a blind eye.

"The plan to set an age limit this time was jointly proposed by Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. It may not be aimed at you!" McGonagall said with some dissatisfaction.

Ivan touched his nose and did not answer. He felt that it should not be so exaggerated.

There was no him in the original time and space, but the Triwizard Tournament still had this restriction. It can be seen that the original intention was indeed for the safety of lower-level wizards and to avoid casualties caused by insufficient strength of the contestants.

But from an outsider's perspective, it's obvious what he means.

"Anyway, if you have any questions then, you can come to me!" Professor McGonagall patted Ivan on the shoulder and said in a very cryptic way, then packed up the teaching aids and left the classroom.

Ivan, who stayed behind, had a very strange expression on his face, and he murmured to himself. "So, I am cheating under orders?"

Thinking of this, Ivan suddenly felt much more relaxed. At least he didn't need to worry about Dumbledore causing trouble for him after crossing the age line and successfully running for election.

After leaving the classroom door, Harry, Ron and Hermione were waiting for him in the corridor.

"Ivan, what did Professor McGonagall just say to you?" Hermione asked, holding the book in her arms.

"It's some high-end skills of transformation spells. As you know, the knowledge in the classroom is of no use to me anymore." Ivan said in a confused manner, without any intention of revealing it. He was worried that Ron, a big mouth, would say it out.

…

Time passed and the promised October 30th soon arrived.

Everyone in Hogwarts was looking forward to waiting for the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang personnel to arrive. They didn't even have any thoughts about the lessons. The little wizards sitting by the window frequently looked out the window, but there Nothing at all.

To Harry's disappointment, Snape's Potions class was still going on as usual. The only difference was that the get out of class ended half an hour earlier, so they could leave earlier and suffer less torture.

When the bell rang for get out of class, the little wizards were all excited. They rushed back to the lounge as quickly as possible to put away their things, then lined up and went to the foyer to wait.
