Hogwarts Reading Days

"Why did Albert come back so soon!"

"Where's Lee Jordan?"

"Don't worry about that guy, come here and help move the big guy out."

Albert's return caught the Weasley twins who were planning to surprise him by surprise.The two packed up their things, hurriedly ran out of the audience venue, and struggled to pull out a cannon-shaped firework from the suitcase, aiming at the sky——

"one two Three."

Fred counted to three, lit the fireworks with his wand, and covered his ears with his hands.

--boom!

Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, turning into a griffin with wings spread. The giant beast raised its head and roared, spread its wings and circled in the sky, and finally turned into a gorgeous firework.

It must be more beautiful at night.

The two who had just landed heard a "bang" sound from the auditorium, looked up at the fireworks above their heads, and the girl asked curiously, "Did you prepare it?"

"Definitely not, otherwise it should have bloomed just now." Albert looked towards the direction of the stands and said with a smile, "However, I can probably guess who prepared the surprise for me."

Under the banner that Hogwarts must win, Lee Jordan was organizing the crowd to cheer for Albert, and the chaotic cheers and applause gradually merged into one voice: Albert must win, Hogwarts must win!

Abbott smiled and waved his arms to supporters in the audience.

Isobel put his arms around Albert's arm and smiled, "You are so welcome."

"It's not good to be too popular. Let's go, take a rest and have a cup of hot drink. You need to be taken care of now, lest you accidentally catch a cold and get sick." Albert took Isobel to meet Madam Pomfrey who rushed over .The latter was muttering something in his mouth, and he wrapped Albert tightly with a blanket, and was going to forcefully pour a cup of potion into his mouth, but this move was blocked by Albert. to stop.

"The effect of the underwater breathing agent has not completely disappeared. I won't feel cold like this now, and my clothes have heat preservation spells and fire and water protection spells." Albert took off the blanket and covered Isobel's body.

"Aquabreather, do you mean gill grass?"

Madam Pomfrey could tell at a glance that Albert's current appearance was due to taking gill grass.

"Yes, the underwater breathing potion is a potion extracted from gill grass. It was presented at the International Alchemy Conference last year." Albert handed the cup of potion in Madam Pomfrey's hand to Izzy Bell: "You drink it first, and I'll drink it after the gill sac grass's medicinal effect wears off."

The two followed Madam Pomfrey to the medical tent for care.

As for the other warriors, [-]% would have to wait a long time to complete the task.

"Oh, my God, it's unbelievable. I'm very curious about how Mr. Anderson did it." Amelia Bones glanced at the hourglass timer on the referee's bench, from the start of the game to Albert's rescue. It took only a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) for the hostages to return.

In fact, not only her, Mrs. Maxim, but even the audience wanted to know how Albert did this, did he cheat?

"I think I probably know how Mr. Anderson did it." Dumbledore raised his wand and summoned the underwater booster thrown by Albert on the shore.

"A very ingenious transformation spell, and a basic movement spell, the combination of the two produces magical results." Dumbledore raised his wand and tapped it on the underwater booster, and the propeller that had stopped working began to spin again stand up.

"That's why he can swim so fast?"

"Correct."

Dumbledore motioned everyone to look at this thing, and explained its purpose to them: "In this way, you can get a stable and fast thrust when you put it in the water, and you can move easily underwater without swimming at all."

"As for the location of the mermaid village, I think Mr. Anderson is probably the only warrior who found the mermaid village in advance." Dumbledore's tone was very calm, he already knew the reason why Albert was able to complete the task so quickly. "You should be clear, as long as you can find the mermaid village, there are too many ways to quickly find the second one."

"Isn't this considered cheating?" Scrimgeour frowned and asked, "It's unfair to other warriors!"

"In fact, you should notice that after the end of the first project, the warriors get a golden egg. As long as the warriors unlock the secret of the golden egg, they can learn the content of the second project and make preparations in advance. This is actually part of the second project." Dumbledore said relaxedly, "There is no doubt that Mr. Anderson has made too much preparation, so that he completed the task with ease, making everyone think that the second project Very simple."

With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore transformed the underwater booster back into a stone.

"Is the second project difficult?" Fudge asked suspiciously, he felt that the second project should not be difficult!

"I think the existence of the golden egg has greatly reduced the difficulty of the competition. The warriors should be faced with unknown project content so as to test their abilities."

Madam Maxim frowned and looked at Fudge, feeling that this guy was completely standing up and talking without back pain.

If Fudge can do it by herself, she has nothing to say, but it is more likely that she was sprayed into a roasted fat pig by the fire dragon just after entering the stage.If you go to the lake, [-]% of them will drown at the bottom of the lake, and you don't even have the courage to go down to the lake.

"I wonder how this guy became the Minister of Magic?"

"The existence of the golden egg is indeed to reduce the difficulty of the competition." Dumbledore directly admitted this, and calmly explained to several temporary referees, "If there is no golden egg, the difficulty of the event will become very high. Maybe no one can even pass the level in the end. Of course, Mr. Anderson may be able to do it, but it must be done with great effort. Believe me, most warriors will not be able to go to the lake unprepared Saving people is more likely to fail or drown in a cold lake, which is as difficult as subduing a fire dragon."

The three were surprised to hear Dumbledore say this.

"According to what you said, I dare say that even well-trained Aurors may not be able to do it." Scrimgeour frowned. He didn't think the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were capable of subduing a fire dragon alone, maybe they had a way It is difficult to drive away the fire dragon alone, but it is very difficult to subdue a dragon, otherwise there will be no need for so many dragon trainers.

At this moment, Albert's evaluation in the heart of the director of the Auror office increased significantly.

"Even the Aurors can't do it?" Fudge couldn't help frowning, obviously very dissatisfied to hear such remarks.

The elite of the Ministry of Magic is not as good as a student who has not yet graduated. It may become a joke if it is said, because every Auror is the best among wizards.

"Very few people can subdue a fire dragon alone." Scrimgeour said quietly, "Even a group of dragon trainers who are familiar with those beasts can do it. Of course, Dumbledore should be able to do it easily."

Scrimgeour ignored Fudge, but looked at Dumbledore and asked, "What is Mr. Anderson's employment tendency? Have you considered becoming an Auror?"

There is no way, the current Auror office has not recruited qualified newcomers for three years, and there is a severe shortage of manpower.

"As far as I know, Mr. Anderson is writing a book recently." Dumbledore said with a smile, "At Christmas, I also received his new book "Guide to the Ancient Runes". It is a wonderful book, Ba Professor Ssheda Baburin is considering whether to use it as a replacement for "An Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes."

"Has he published a book?"

All three were surprised.

A book by a student who hasn't left school yet?

What level is this?

"In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that Mr. Anderson participated in the compilation of "Complete Explanation of Basic Runes" a long time ago." Dumbledore said with a smile, "He seems to be writing a book with Books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts, maybe we will see them this year."

"What an amazing person." Amelia Bones said with emotion, "I have heard rumors about him before, and it seems that the rumors are not exaggerated at all. Maybe he will be able to meet at the Wizengamot soon Get a seat up there."

"There are no vacancies in the Wizengamot yet," Fudge reminded, clearing his throat.

"Someone will make room for him." Amelia Bones glanced at Fudge and said flatly.

Especially last time the Wizengamot held an emergency meeting for Albert, and finally passed the meeting to give the title of "Wisengamwa British Youth Representative", although this title was finally stuck in the process and could not be awarded To Albert, but she knew that Albert was bound to be part of the Wizengamot.

At least two-thirds would agree.

Dumbledore was probably the only one with such influence in the whole of England, but that matter obviously had nothing to do with Dumbledore, this old man would not do that kind of thing.

"Tell me about the second project." Scrimgeour changed the subject. He actually agreed with what Amelia Burns said, although he was more inclined towards pure-blood wizards.

"Was the difficulty of the previous Triwizard Tournament really so high?"

"It's really difficult, that's why accidents often happen, and sometimes it's actually very difficult to save people." Dumbledore continued seamlessly, "Later, after the Ministry of Magic decided to restart the Triwizard Tournament, Batty and Ludo Come to discuss with me, we decided to lower the difficulty slightly to ensure the safety of the warriors."

"Of course, I think the changes can better highlight the level of the warriors in all aspects." Dumbledore introduced to the three, "First of all, the warriors need to overcome the difficulty of breathing underwater. The head curse can't last too long, an hour is basically the limit."

"The weather is very cold now, and it is easy to freeze when entering the water. It is not easy to swim in such an environment, not to mention that the light under the water is very dark, which is a test of the endurance of the warriors. The mental quality is not strong enough. The warriors will face severe challenges." Dumbledore continued, "Moreover, it is not easy to find the mermaid village hidden in the water grass. Although the mermaids can sing to attract the warriors, I think other warriors still have a lot to offer. There is a chance that you will get lost, and you will be attacked by Grindylows. Although Grindylows are not dangerous dark creatures, they can cause enough trouble for the warriors underwater."

The problems Dumbledore mentioned are being played out under the Black Lake at this moment.

In fact, apart from Albert, several other warriors were in trouble.
