Chapter 168

How ridiculous that a Death Eater who opposes the Ministry of Magic would try to threaten others with Azkaban.

At this moment, though, Barty Crouch Jr has no choice.

Hearing what he said, Ye Ting smiled slightly and said teasingly, "Didn't you just say, let's recite this spell on you?"

"It's just a joke..." Crouch said dryly with his scarred Moody face. "It's just a joke I made to you."

"This joke is not funny." Ye Ting said coldly, giving him a meaningful look, "I think the professor should stop making such dangerous jokes in class, otherwise I will misunderstand you. If there are consequences that everyone doesn't want to see, then it's not good, what do you think."

That glance made Crouch almost feel that he was seen through.

"You...you're right," Fake Moody said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Ye's...suggestion is good, you can sit down, Ravenclaw is very..."

Ye Ting nodded with satisfaction and returned to his position. There was still no voice of discussion in the classroom, but everyone's eyes on Moody changed. It was no longer fear and awe, but disbelief and contempt.

Although everyone knows that Ravenclaw's genius is very powerful, before this, apart from parallel importers Lockhart and Quirrell, no professor would express fear or flatter on Ye Ting because of this.

Yes, this is very, obviously, to please Ye Ting.

When Ye Ting sat down, Hermione immediately chatted excitedly in his ear: "God, how did you do it, I mean, how did you make Alastor Moody so afraid of you? Yesterday? I checked his profile, he is considered to be the best Auror of modern times, defeated numerous notorious dark wizards in battle, captured Death Eaters capable of filling half of Azkaban's cells, such a How could a retired Auror do this to you."

Seeing Hermione's recovery, Ye Ting smiled with relief, and replied casually, "Maybe it's because I taught them a lesson after I went to the Ministry of Magic last time. Aurors all know that I'm not easy to mess with."

This is of course a rather far-fetched answer. Hermione was a little dissatisfied with such an answer, but no matter how she asked, Ye Ting was perfunctory.

In fact, if it was Moody himself, he would never be so afraid of Ye Ting, he is a strong, brave, and death-tested person.

The upheaval of this incident has changed the way young wizards feel about their new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Some little wizards began to think that Moody was bullying and afraid of being hard, and they would be soft when they saw a powerful character, but the little lions in Gryffindor insisted that Moody was just too generous and unwilling to care about Ye Ting.

However, Ye Ting's prestige among the little wizards was even greater. There were rumors that Ye Ting was a dark wizard stronger than the Dark Lord, who could make a senior Auror feel terrified just by looking at it.

This is of course a joke, but it reflects Ye Ting's power in the mind of the little wizard.

All the senior wizards felt fortunate that Ye Ting had announced that he would not participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Otherwise, with such a powerful opponent, they would not be able to compete at all.

0233 end of October

After being threatened by Ye Ting, Barty Crouch Jr. became suspicious. He deeply suspected that his identity as Moody was discovered by the genius, so for several days, he was at a high level. In the tension, I couldn't even sleep, and I was always worried that Dumbledore would come to the door.

However, the real situation made him finally relieved, and Dumbledore did not doubt him.

This situation is either because he thinks too much, or the genius is just skeptical, or for some other reason, and did not tell Dumbledore the truth, for either reason, he is temporarily safe of……

However, since then, he has maintained a deep reverence for Ye Ting, and has been avoiding him, for fear that he will be offended again, and then his identity will be exposed.

In the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he continued his previous routine, letting the little wizards at Hogwarts experience the Unforgivable Curse - of course, only the Imperius Curse, Cruciatus and Killing Curse he dared not use .

In class, he asked his classmates to take turns to come forward and give them the Imperius Curse. Harry saw that under the influence of the spell, one by one, the students made the most abnormal behavior. For example, Dean Thomas hopped around the classroom three times, singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown imitates a squirrel. Neville performed an astonishing array of gymnastics moves that he would never have been able to do in his normal state.

However, he never dared to ask Ye Ting to come forward to experience the Imperius Curse, and even Hermione Granger did not dare to provoke it, which made the rumor that "Professor Moody is afraid of Ye Ting" among his classmates became more and more true. .

Hermione was actually a little dissatisfied with the current situation. Miss Know-it-all would rather eat the pus of Babo's tuber than miss such a course. Her attitude made her very depressed, but she knew that Ye Ting's threat to Professor Moody was purely for her, so she would not take anger on Ye Ting, so she had to be unhappy by herself.

It was not until Ye Ting assured that she, who could transform into a giant dragon, would not be affected by the Imperius Curse, she felt much better.

Although the magic resistance of Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Penello in human form can't be compared with that of dragon form, the magic involving spirit and soul is another matter.

It's late October, and the schoolwork for the little wizards is getting heavier. All fourth-grade students pay attention

As a result, the homework they have to do this semester has increased significantly.

According to the professors, they are entering an important period of magic education, and their o.w.ls exams are approaching - although it is in fifth grade, but the little wizards are starting to prepare now.

Professor Binns - the ghost who taught them the history of magic, assigned them to write a paper on the eighteenth century goblin rebellion; Professor Snape forced them to work on the antidote, and they dared not take it lightly, as Professor Snape suggested, He was going to poison one of them before Christmas to see if their antidote worked; Professor Flitwick asked them to read three more books in preparation for learning the Flying Spell, and even Hagrid burdened them.

Most of the little wizards complained about this, but there was still good news.

For a great notice was erected in the foyer:

Triwizard Tournament

Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6pm on Friday, October 30. The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier.

The announcement in the foyer had a palpable effect on those who lived in the castle.

For the next week, wherever Ye Ting went, people seemed to talk about only one topic: the Triwizard Tournament.

Rumors circulated quickly among the students, like a highly contagious germ: who will be the champion of Hogwarts, what will be the competition, what will the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrong have with them different.

Among them, Ravenclaw's Roger Davis and Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory have the strongest voices. In addition, the little wizards always looked at Ye Ting with regret, as if his decision not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament was a big mistake.

The more business-minded senior wizards began to sell age-enhancing agents among the younger wizards, and many young wizards who thought they had some strengths paid for it. As if they were stronger than those older wizards except for their age.

Also, the castle appears to be undergoing a thorough cleaning. Several dirty portraits were scrubbed clean, and the scrubbed figures were very unhappy about it. They sat huddled in the frame, muttering sullenly, grinning in pain every time they touched the new pink tender flesh on their faces. The armor in the castle suddenly became shiny and no longer creaking when it moved.

The janitor, Argus Filch, was furious when he saw a student forgetting to wipe his shoes, sending two first-year girls into hysteria.

When they went downstairs for breakfast on the morning of October 30, they found that the auditorium had been renovated overnight.

Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, and a yellow background Hufflepuff with a black badger 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: lion, eagle, badger and snake linked together around a large h.

There was an anticipatory joy in the air that day. In the class, no one was paying attention to the lecture, and everyone thought that the people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight. Even the potions class was not as unbearable as usual, because it ended half an hour earlier.

When the bell rang early, the little wizards returned to the lounge tower of the academy, put down their bags and textbooks as instructed, put on their cloaks, and rushed down the stairs in three steps and two steps to the foyer.

College deans are ordering their students to line up.

They filed down the steps and stood in line in front of the castle. It was a cold, airy evening, night was falling, and a white, translucent moon had hung over the Forbidden Forest.

The little wizards were excitedly discussing how the people of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would come here.

As a prefect, Zhang Qiu stood at the very least. She looked at her watch, looked at the driveway leading to the front door, and turned to her companions and asked, "How do you think they will come? By train?"

"I don't think so," said Hermione.

"Then how come? Flying broom?" Zhang Qiu looked up at the starry sky and guessed.

"I don't think...from that far..."

"Portkey?" Marietta interjected, "or they can Apparate—perhaps where they are, people under seventeen are allowed to Apparate too?"

"Apparition is not allowed in the Hogwarts grounds, I remember I reminded you." Zhang Qiu said.

They glanced excitedly at the gradually darkening field, but saw no movement. Everything was silent, peaceful, and the same as usual.

Just when the girls were a little impatient, Ye Ting suddenly said, "If I guessed correctly, they are here."
