Hogwarts Reading Days

Fred and George walked out of Professor McGonagall's office with gloomy faces. It's not that they couldn't understand Professor McGonagall's decision, and they didn't want something to happen to Albert, but they were a little annoyed by Professor McGonagall's rigidity. , Albert is definitely unwilling to miss the Triwizard Tournament because of some people's conspiracy.

"What now?" Fred asked.

"I can only hope that Lee Jordan can ask Angelina to vote for Albert." George has no good way.

"I'm afraid not." Professor Moody's voice came from behind the two of them.

The two looked back at Professor Moody who had just come out of Professor McGonagall's office in doubt.

"It's useless. It's pointless to ask someone else to help you vote, otherwise I would have already thrown his name in." Professor Moody said while leaning on crutches.

"What do you mean?" George asked, frowning.

"Dumbledore mentioned last night that whoever puts his name into the Goblet of Fire is actually forming a magical contract with the Goblet of Fire, and asking others to vote for him may become meaningless, because voting The name of the wizard does not match the name of the contract, and only Dumbledore knows the specific situation, and he is the only one who can easily hide the Goblet of Fire and help Albert become a Hogwarts warrior." Professor Moody's tone sounded a little annoyed , "But he obviously doesn't intend to do that, and are you sure that Albert is really missing? Have you looked elsewhere?"

"I've searched everywhere, but I still can't find anyone." George said first.

"This is troublesome." Professor Moody grumbled away. "I'll think of another way."

"Do you think Professor Moody is pretending?" After Professor Moody left, Fred frowned and asked his companions.

"I don't know, but since Albert thinks he is a fake, we'd better be careful." George reminded, "Albert's guess is very accurate."

"So, you were just pretending." Fred raised his eyebrows and looked at his brother.

"I just want to see how Professor Moody will react." George said in a low voice, "Actually, I think this is very strange."

"It's weird, you mean about Albert's disappearance?" Fred really felt that this incident was full of weirdness.

"Well." George nodded and said, "With Albert's ability and training some time ago, the probability of being stunned by a sneak attack is not high."

"You think he's hiding himself?" Fred asked rhetorically.

"It's hard to say now. We can only trust Albert." George couldn't think of a good way, "However, we should let Angelina sign up for Albert, even if it is not useful, but Gotta try it out."

"we can only do this."

Albert, who was missed by the Weasley twins, was sitting on the sofa in the Room of Requirement at the moment, drinking tea and eating snacks, while teaching Katrina how to learn Occlumency.

"Don't worry, I don't expect you to be able to master Occlumency in a day, that's very unrealistic." Albert said gently, "It took me a lot of time to master it completely."

"Is Isobel very good at Legilimency, many times I think she can easily see through other people's minds." Katrina asked with a frown as she enjoyed the pastries on the plate.

"Don't worry, Isobel won't easily spy on other people's thoughts." Albert comforted, "Besides, she actually cares about you."

Katrina didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

"After the Halloween party." Albert took a sip of milk tea and said calmly, "So, we have to eat here tonight."

"Aren't you going to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?" Katrina couldn't understand Albert's thoughts. "Or, you actually knew the result of the selection of warriors a long time ago, and you signed up secretly?"

Albert smiled without saying a word.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Katrina propped her chin with her hands, looked at the rain falling outside the window, then suddenly turned her head to look at Albert and said, "Let's continue practicing, I hope to master the Occlusion spell as soon as possible. "

Katrina hated the feeling of being seen through.

"Don't worry, you need to be prepared, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort."

It was raining outside the window, and the two inside the window were talking.Katrina didn't hate this feeling now. To a certain extent, the love potion had taken effect in a sense, allowing them to spend a long time here that only belonged to the two of them.

Due to the rain outside, the sky darkened faster than usual. Durmstrang's delegation and Beauxbaton's delegation came to the castle before the sky completely darkened.

Seeing that the Goblet of Fire was removed, the faces of the three were not very good-looking. Albert still did not show up in the end. This incident undoubtedly alarmed the Gryffindor students. Many people thought that some people did not want Albert to participate in the three That's why he was missing during the selection of warriors. As for being afraid of participating in the Triwizard Tournament?

This is obviously impossible, and any guy who dares to make sarcastic remarks in a weird tone has to ask the girls if they agree.

Because even Professor Moody recognized Albert's ability and believed that he could win the Triwizard Cup for Hogwarts. How could such a person be afraid of the Triwizard Tournament?

Soon conspiracy theories prevailed. Some people said that Slytherin students attacked Albert, because a large number of Slytherin students did not like Albert, and some said that Durmstrang did it, because once Albert Especially participating in the Triwizard Tournament, their players will never have a chance to win the championship.

The Halloween dinner started amidst such discussions.

I don't know if it's related to the Halloween dinner. Today's dishes are richer than yesterday's, but Fred, George, and Lee Jordan are not in the mood to eat, because Albert's still hasn't appeared.

"Don't worry, Angelina has signed up for Albert." George comforted himself, but he still glanced at the door of the auditorium from time to time, expecting that door to be pushed open suddenly, expecting Albert to appear in front of them , The location, they also chose a location close to the entrance of the auditorium, which made room for Albert.

Compared with the few of them, the other students in the auditorium were also very anxious, and some even fidgeted, wishing that the dinner party would end quickly.

After the food on the golden plate disappeared, the voice in the auditorium suddenly increased a lot, and everyone couldn't wait to know who would be chosen as the warrior.

Under the eager eyes of the students, Dumbledore finally stood up.

"Later, after the names of the warriors are announced, I would like them to go into the room next door, where they will receive their initial instruction." Dumbledore pointed to the door behind the instructor's desk.

He waved his wand, and the candles floating above everyone's heads were extinguished one after another. The auditorium was suddenly dark, and the blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire shone dazzlingly in front of everyone.

Everyone watched the Goblet of Fire and waited patiently.

Without keeping everyone waiting for too long, the blue-white flame in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned into a dazzling red, the flames soared high, and sparks flew everywhere.

Everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

A piece of charred parchment flew out of the flame and was pinched by a hand.

"The first warrior of Durmstrang." Dumbledore held the parchment from a distance, and with the help of the firelight next to him, he could clearly see the writing on the parchment. "It is Viktor Krum."

In an instant, applause and cheers swept the auditorium, and people were cheering for Viktor Krum as a warrior of Durmstrang.

Viktor Krum himself didn't seem to be very surprised. He got up from his seat listlessly, walked along the staff desk, and went into the next room to rest.

After the applause and chatter gradually subsided, people turned their attention to the Goblet of Fire again. This time they didn't make them wait too long, and a second piece of parchment spit out from the Goblet of Fire again.

"The champion of Beauxbatons," Dumbledore announced again, "is Fleur Delacour!"

Next, only the warriors of Gryffindor are left.

"It's finally coming to an end." Professor Moody stared at the Goblet of Fire in front of him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

As long as Dumbledore declares Hogwarts champion, that troublesome guy is completely out of the game, and the next thing is to help Harry win the championship.

"Hero of Hogwarts," Dumbledore shouted, already grabbing the third parchment, "it's Albert Anderson."

Deafening cheers broke out in the auditorium, and a large number of students were cheering for Albert's election as a warrior.

The moment Dumbledore declared Hogwarts champion, Moody seemed to be dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears.

What happened, how Albert Anderson became a Hogwarts champion.

At this moment, Moody even wanted to rush up and snatch the parchment from Dumbledore's hand to see if he mispronounced the name.

"Mr. Albert Anderson!" Dumbledore frowned and looked around, and shouted again, "Albert, please come here!"

However, no one responded, as if the warrior named Albert Anderson was not in the auditorium.

In fact, he wasn't in the auditorium either.

Professor McGonagall gave Moody a hard look. She suspected that the old Auror next to him had secretly signed up for Albert.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Professor McGonagall stood up at the guest table, walked up to Professor Dumbledore and whispered eagerly in Professor Dumbledore's ear. Dumbledore frowned slightly after listening attentively.

He disappeared?

Dumbledore actually knew about it, and Moody even approached him because of it, but now it's not about who put his name into the Goblet of Fire, but how to deal with it now.

The buzzing got louder and louder, and the Great Hall was in turmoil, because the students of Hogwarts had discovered that their champion was missing.
