Chapter 370: All the Major Schools Are About to Arrive
All the records about the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts are blank.
Unwilling to give up, Zhang Xiao also wrote to Flourish and Blotts through owl mail.
He bought all the books about the Triwizard Tournament.
Then he discovered something surprising.
The 100 years from the 15th to the 16th century were completely blank.
It was as if an invisible hand had erased the records above.
Oh my goodness, a blank for a hundred years? One Piece, right?
Do I still have to find the historical text?
Although Zhang Xiao was curious about who the Lady of the Gloves was, his reason told him that asking for secrets regardless of obstruction would only bring trouble.
It must be said that Zhang Xiao's description of the Lady of the Gloves aroused great interest among the young wizards.
"Is there really such a powerful person willing to give us special training?"
Malfoy asked back with doubt.
"Come with me." Zhang Xiao shrugged, and Harry and the others followed with smiles and joy on their faces that could not be suppressed.
All the way to the eighth floor, in front of the huge tapestry with a silly Barnabas trying to teach the troll to dance ballet, there is a white wall opposite.
"Why bring us here? There is nothing here."
"This is connected to the principal's office," Ron muttered, and suddenly became excited: "Could it be that Dumbledore wants to give us special training?"
Oh my God, if it is really Dumbledore
Even Hermione and Neville couldn't help but have a little yearning.
Uh, Dumbledore?
What are you thinking!
Because of the hosting of this worldwide Goblet of Fire, the old man is so busy that he almost has no time to rest.
It has to be said that Barty Crouch is simply crushing Fudge.
He boldly delegated power and handed a lot of power to Dumbledore, letting him do whatever he wants.
So Dumbledore is the commander-in-chief of the entire Goblet of Fire project.
And Dumbledore, a person with a strong sense of responsibility, really devoted himself to the Goblet of Fire.
Even if the project is discussed by the Ministry of Magic of various countries, the specific arrangements still need people to do it.
Dumbledore really didn't have time to tutor the little wizards.
"Wait a minute--"
Zhang Xiao ignored the little wizards who were daydreaming, but stood in front of the white wall with his eyes closed, walking back and forth, muttering in his heart:
"Madam, I brought them here."
After going back and forth three times, in the surprised eyes of the little wizards, a smooth door suddenly appeared on the wall.
"Zhang! What's going on?"
"Why is there a door?"
Several people shouted, Zhang Xiao took a step forward and put his hand on the door handle, shrugged:
"Here-- um-- you can ask the senior who will be responsible for your special training later."
After opening the door, Zhang Xiao took the lead and walked into a spacious room with torches lit inside, like an underground classroom.
There was a row of wooden bookshelves by the wall, and there were no chairs on the ground, but there were large satin cushions.
On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments such as peepholes, secret detectors, and a large magic mirror with cracks.
"Look at these books!" Hermione excitedly stroked the spines of rows of thick books with sheepskin cover:
"Common Spells and Countermeasures", "Defeating the Dark Magic", "Self-Defense Spells". Wow!"
Cedric looked at the other wall, where a row of wooden puppets in armor stood (Zhang Xiao was sure that the first one was the one who had been provoking him, because it was still waving and provoking him).
He nodded thoughtfully:
"This is a great place to practice spells."
Zhang Xiao felt that this place was familiar, as if it was the place where he had trained in his first year.
It was also here that he used the Golden Book and Jade Book for the first time and learned the Golden Light Spell.
Thinking about it now, it is full of memories.
But where is the glove lady?
At this moment, a piece of parchment suddenly floated over, and it said:
"This is a special training for Hogwarts warriors, you can't participate."
Before Zhang Xiao protested, a gentle force pushed him out.
Hey! Zhang Xiao pinched his waist and watched the front of him turn into a white wall again.
If you don't want to see it, then don't see it. I don't believe it. My deputy, executive vice president, and my dearest pony, would they hide it from me?
"Sorry, Zhang, I can't tell you."
Malfoy looked up, his expression was very proud.
He waved his fork and said in a boastful tone:
"There is a parchment with words telling us how to train and how to cooperate. If we complete the task, there will be rewards.
But the parchment tells us how to do it!
So sorry."
Malfoy said with strong confidence:
"Zhang, wait to lose to us! We are the strongest together!"
Well, among you, I am the only one who is redundant.
Zhang Xiao pouted, angrily picked up a baked tomato and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hiss, so sour!
Time passed quickly, plain and without any accidents.
Unless you count the fact that Seamus Finnigan blew up the crucible in the potions class.
This is the sixth crucible he has blown up this semester.
On average, it exploded once every class.
Zhang Xiao thought that Seamus should be renamed Seamus Tienti.
Because he kept blowing up cauldrons, Professor Snape's vindictive streak seemed to reach new heights during the summer when he unceremoniously punished Seamus by disemboweling him with horned toads.
When Seamus returned to the common room covered in stench, everyone knew what had happened.
When disemboweling him, Seamus instinctively felt that using magic might speed him up.
So with strong confidence, he waved his magic wand.
The result was - a whole bucket of horned toads exploded.
Especially the horrific scene that Seamus described vividly.
"Those toads kept swelling and swelling, and I was afraid, so I hurriedly poked them with my wand.
Trying to stop them from expanding, the result is——"
Seamus looked horrified:
"They expanded faster, and then—"
He shrugged, made an explosive gesture, and said with a sad face:
"Bang! They all exploded, and the pieces of flesh and blood covered my face. Snape was furious. I have never seen Snape like that.
I apologized hastily and said I could get another big bucket, but he growled at me and told me to get lost.
Then I came back. "
Everyone imagined such a scene in their minds, shuddered suddenly, and unconsciously felt a trace of sympathy for Professor Snape.
A big bucket of long-horned toads, they are fishy and smelly, Seamus' power is obvious to all.
The debris from the explosion might have been all over the underground classroom, and Snape lived there.
Hiss, the reason why Snape didn't kill Seamus was because he was afraid that he would blow himself up, right?
Well, all in all, except for this little episode with Seamus, the rest of life is nothing special.
Several little ones devoted themselves to Ms. Glove's special training with great enthusiasm.
I always come back looking tired, but in good spirits.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Professor Moody did introduce the Unforgivable Curse.
He introduced the different functions of the three magic spells in detail.
It can only be said that Barty Crouch Jr. is definitely a talent, and he accurately captured Moody's characteristics.
The imitation is so lifelike, I don’t know how long I have been studying Moody, if it weren’t for his superb acting skills.
It's not easy to fool Dumbledore with Polyjuice Potion alone.
But if I didn’t exist, would this really happen? Would everything be the same as in the original work?
Zhang Xiao didn't know and didn't want to explore this kind of thing.
More than this, he wanted to kill Voldemort quickly and live a peaceful life.
In the divination class, Harry and Ron made up tragic predictions that unexpectedly impressed Trelawney.
This makes them feel particularly ridiculous.
But they soon stopped laughing.
Because Professor Trelawney read aloud many parts of their prophecies (the worst parts) and praised them for their courage in accepting the terrible things that were about to happen.
Under the sympathetic eyes of several 'loyal followers of Trelawney'.
Trelawney asked them to make another prediction about their fate next month.
Harry and Ron's faces almost wrinkled in pain, because they could no longer think of a different disaster event.
On the other hand, Professor Binns, the ghost who teaches them the history of magic, has assigned them this week to write a paper on the goblin rebellion of the eighteenth century.
Professor Snape forced them to research an antidote.
They dare not take it lightly because Professor Snape has hinted that he will poison one of them before Christmas to see if their antidote works.
Professor Flitwick asked them to read three more books in preparation for learning the Flying Charm.
The scariest thing is Professor McGonagall.
She always puts pressure on the little wizards.
"You are entering an important period of your magical education!"
She told them, her eyes shining majestically behind the square lenses: "Your O.W.Ls exam is coming soon——"
"We won't take the proficiency test until fifth grade!" Dean Thomas said angrily.
“Maybe so, Thomas, but trust me, you need to be fully prepared!
In this class, only Miss Chang and Miss Granger can turn a hedgehog into a satisfactory pincushion.
Thomas, I should warn you that your pincushion still cowers in fear when someone comes near it with a needle! "
Fortunately, there is one thing that has been supporting the little wizards.
That's what Dumbledore meant when he said the time was getting closer.
Finally one day when the little wizards came to the entrance hall, they found that they could no longer go forward because a large group of students were crowded around a large notice erected at the foot of the marble staircase.
The little wizard standing at the front read loudly, and his voice passed over the heads of the people in front and spread to the back:
Super Contest
School representatives from each country will arrive on Friday, October 30th.
At that time, the classes in the afternoon will be cancelled. Students are asked to return their schoolbags and textbooks to their dormitories, gather in front of the castle, greet our guests, and then attend the welcome banquet.
