Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 264 How could there be two beds in the office?
Dumbledore drew his wand and tapped the box lid three times.The lid creaked slowly open, and Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-carved wooden goblet.The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.

Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the auditorium could see it clearly.

"Write the name on the parchment and throw it into the goblet, and it will spit out a note of the right candidate the next day." Hera explained in a low voice, rubbing Penello's soft little hands.He just couldn't stand Dumbledore's long-winded explanations.

In fact, Dumbledore talked for nearly two or three minutes, and Hera couldn't help but wonder if Dumbledore had ever worked as an auctioneer, at least he had the urge to auction—Dumbledore's introduction was too detailed.

"In order to avoid the temptation of underage students," said Dumbledore, "I will put an age line around the goblet when it is placed in the hall. No one under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line."

When Hera heard this, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Mrs. Maxime. She hadn't mentioned this before. You must know that several of Beauxbaton's little wizards were almost seventeen years old, even though they were all students above the sixth grade.

Following Dumbledore, there was another burst of persuasion to the students: he did not want students under the age of 17 to put their names into the Goblet of Fire rashly.That's the end of the dinner party.

Hera wanted to take Penello through the auditorium and back to his office on the fourth floor, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Oh, Hera, don't leave in such a hurry, let me have a good chat with you." Dumbledore's eyes flashed, he looked at Hera, then at Penello, with a smile on his mouth.

Hera's heart tightened, Occlumency subconsciously activated, he stopped, and walked in front of Dumbledore with Penello.

"Professor Dumbledore, nice to see you again." Penello's crisp voice sounded.

Dumbledore looked very happy, he laughed and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, Miss Clearwater, you and Hera are doing well, right? He didn't bully you, did he?"

Penello's face blushed instantly, and it was the first time she had been teased like this.Not even Professor Flitwick made such a joke.

"He's always been careful." Penello's voice was like a mosquito's whisper. Fortunately, Dumbledore was not too old to be dim-sighted, and he could barely hear it clearly.

Dumbledore smoothed his beard, "Hera, your office is still at the corner on the fourth floor, it has been cleaned, I think you can go there directly. Of course, if you want to live in a carriage, it's perfectly fine."

"Praise Hogwarts, it will always feel like home to me. I would rather live in a castle than in a carriage." Hera boasted, shaking her head. Madam Maxim let out a cold snort from her nostrils, turned her head and left the auditorium, and she had to go back to the carriage.

"I believe you will enjoy your life here. By the way, next to me is Professor Moody who is taking over from Lupin. Say hello, okay?" Dumbledore's glasses flashed, and he introduced to Hera.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Moody. I've heard of your name a long time ago. The most famous Auror in the Ministry of Magic, you captured half of the criminals in Azkaban Prison." Hera pretended to be seeing Moody for the first time, and he extended his hand towards Moody friendly.

Moody's magic eyes rolled, and his tone was very bad, "I've heard about you, it's best not to let me catch you, your previous business, absolutely—"

"Enough, Alastor," Dumbledore warned.

Moody remained silent, and he didn't hold Hera's hand, which made Hera very embarrassed, and finally he withdrew his hand resentfully.

"I hope you don't mind, my old friend is a little too sensitive." Dumbledore explained with a sigh.

Hera smiled lightly and waved her hand pretending not to care, "Of course not. I've heard of Moody's name a long time ago. It's indeed a good strategy to list everyone as a target of vigilance and suspicion, although I don't agree with it."

The communication was basically over here, and the atmosphere had become very cold. Hera apologized in a low voice, and hurried away with Penello.

Naturally, Hera chose to live in Hogwarts Castle not because he wanted a better living environment in the castle, but because of the strategy he and Madam Maxim adopted: he was in charge of investigating the interior of Hogwarts Castle, and Madam Maxim was in charge of searching the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake outside the castle. The two worked together to know the three events of the competition in advance.

This is Madame Maxime's plan.

It just so happened that Hera and Barty Jr.'s thoughts came true.

As for the appearance in front of Dumbledore just now, it was just two scenes of Hera.In order to clear his relationship with Mrs. Maxim and Moody.

Hera took Penello back to the corner office on the fourth floor, because their conversation wasted some time, and there were no students on the stairs, so they were able to return to the office smoothly.

Back in the office, Penello looked very excited.

"You don't even know how those people looked at me. They were absolutely surprised that I was sitting at the guest table."

"Okay, you'll get used to it, you're Penello Clearwater." Hera smiled and picked Penello up and put her on the bed.

Penelope pulled the quilt to cover Hera's head, "Haha, I'm Clearwater, you're Lestrange."

It wasn't long before she realized a problem.

"Why is there only one bed here?"

"There can't be two beds in the professor's office." Hera smirked and tore off the quilt, throwing herself on Penello.

Early the next morning, Hera woke up from the bed. Penello was still resting on the bed. She was really exhausted yesterday. She didn't have a good rest in the carriage, and Hera let her rest. The two of them came to Hogwarts like a vacation. They didn't even need him to teach the students' courses. It couldn't be easier than this.

Today is Saturday. Generally speaking, students should eat very late. However, when Hera went downstairs and entered the hall, she saw more than 20 people gathered there, some of them were still eating bread, and they were all carefully looking at the Goblet of Fire.

The Goblet of Fire was placed in the middle of the hall, on the stool where the Sorting Hat was usually placed.A thin gold line was drawn on the floor, ten feet long on each side, round the cup.

"Did someone put their name in?" Hera asked a student next to her casually.
