Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 539 Test
After the twins were defeated in such an embarrassing and funny 'posture', they did not dissuade other students from their determination to challenge.

Although he hesitated for a while, under Snape's choice of instigation and ridicule, many guys still accepted the challenge of the Goblet of Fire, fighting against the phantoms of the Big Four one by one.

After all, judging from the fighting performance of these phantoms and twins, the Big Four did not use any incredible magic, but their spellcasting skills were a little more advanced.

Gives most people a:
If I go, then I can do it... at least the illusion that I am stronger than others.

It wasn't until a student of German Shepherd Strong managed to defeat the phantom of Slytherin that the other three phantoms stood up together.

At this time, the malice in Snape's smile...was completely undisguised, "Do you really think that the test of the Big Four...will only be one of them? If you can't even defeat one of them, it proves that you are not even qualified to touch the Goblet of Fire... Think about what this challenge is called? The test of the Big Four...not one of them."

"This is the real challenge!"

He sneered.

The words of the old bat are not just pouring cold water, but also throwing a shot put.

The students who smashed it immediately stared at gold stars.

"Liar, you didn't want anyone other than those ten people to be elected warriors..." A witch in Beauxbatons immediately screamed loudly, her eyes were full of resentment.

"I reminded you."

said a low, serious voice, and everyone turned to find Dumbledore standing behind the crowd.

He looked at the surrounding students and the phantom of the Big Four around the Goblet of Fire, his eyes sparkled, "I know you will be very unconvinced, but I can tell you that this 'Top Ten Tournament' is not a game, not the Quidditch match, wizard duel and other peaceful activities you usually think... To become a warrior, the most important thing is to have absolute strength far beyond ordinary people...or the ability to turn the tables in any situation. Only in this way can you ensure your own safety...On this premise Only then can you participate in the competition."

"Of course, one thing I can guarantee is... as long as you... any student in this school at this moment, once you pass the test of this challenge, you will be recognized by the Goblet of Fire as a warrior, and you will be treated equally with the other ten warriors. There is no difference. However, you need to know... once you are elected as a warrior, you will not be able to withdraw, you can only participate in the competition."

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and then reminded, "Students under the seventh grade of Hogwarts should go to class, it's getting late now."

The students dispersed one after another, and McGuffin and Harry could only follow the old bee's advice and go to class again.

At this time, Ron completely lost the luck of thinking that he could become a warrior.

And Neville's muttering on the side broke the thinking of most people in Gryffindor, "It seems that Hermione is right, the professors really didn't want us to participate in this dangerous competition..."

As soon as Neville said this, everyone around immediately responded.

"Yes, I already knew..."

"Yes, if you think about it, how can we really become warriors so easily..." Seamus nodded affirmatively, as if he had said so long ago.

After the class resumed, the atmosphere in the classroom was quite different.

Hufflepuff felt very honored that Cedric Diggory had been chosen as a warrior, and he had to mention a few words from time to time.

It seemed that this incident had greatly boosted the sense of honor of Hufflepuff House, and most of Gryffindor... especially Ron was very disapproving of it.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among Ernie McMillan and Justin Fenliery.

McGuffin, Harry, Ron, and the two of them were originally formed into a team to deal with a magical plant with a 'spherical succulent rhizome'.

(This thing bites, very viciously).

It is a cylindrical shape, straight out of the humus soil like a small bamboo, and then slender branches continue to protrude from the branches,

Those branches are covered with small green meat balls the size of tennis balls...

Every little meatball is full of fangs, opening its mouth and roaring...

'——Scum, scum, scum! '

The sound is very strange!
This plant is very aggressive.

If someone doesn't pay attention, he will be bitten. If the students were not wearing thick dragon leather gloves, their fingers would have been gone long ago.

Mandrakes are like harmless babies in comparison.

Ernie, if Justin just doesn't talk to McGuffin, Gryffindors like Harry, that's all. After Ron once again stated that he thinks Cedric is just a handsome boy.

The two guys were immediately annoyed, and started yelling at Ron.

It's better to say something than the little lion of Gryffindor who always talks about how brave he is, but at the critical moment, only Angelina and a few old witches signed up to select the warriors.

In this way, the more the two parties talked, the more angry they became, spitting stars shot everywhere like flying 'missiles',
The scene became more and more chaotic.

And Professor Sprout was still watering and talking to a bunch of ordinary plants.

She pays no attention to the chaos in the classroom.

Even Hermione, Neville went to the side to call several times... wanting her to stop the commotion, but the professor didn't act.

So much so that Harry wondered whether Professor Sprout, as the head of Hufflepuff... was also dissatisfied with Ron and his contempt for Cedric's remarks, so he allowed further chaos in the classroom.

In the end, predictably, things got out of hand...

A corrugated ball of meat-loving rhizome... was torn off by Justin (wearing dragon leather gloves) who was so angry, and threw it directly towards McGuffin and the others.

This ghost thing--screaming and screaming, directly fell on the nose of McGuffin.

— Scum!
Bite!
boom!
This squealing little ball was blown to pieces on McGuffin's nose.

Green pus splattered all over the classroom...everyone was splashed.

But no one speaks louder anymore,

McGuffin was staring at everyone coldly.

At this moment, all the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors in the Greenhouse remembered the extremely exaggerated rumors about MacGuffin.

And to be honest, the explosion scene just now was a bit scary.

McGuffin's face was covered in green pus, with a spot of bright red blood oozing from the center.

Kind of funny, but no one gloated and laughed.

Even the most heartless Ron felt a little bit in his heart, and took back the meat ball he had just picked off.

It was Harry who swallowed, and asked cautiously, "McGuffin, is your nose okay? It looks like you were bitten hard...how about going to Madam Pomfrey?"

'Clean up! '

'Repair as ever! '

"No need!" McGuffin waved his wand to clean up the pus on his face, and healed his nose. He simply regrouped the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students and asked them to form a team to avoid such a thing from happening again.

Although some people were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to express it publicly, especially after McGuffin shook a hand and directly rolled a magic plant with a flesh-loving spherical rhizome into a bare rod.

Fortunately, the rest of the herbal medicine class ended smoothly, but Professor Sprout was still in a sleepwalking state, chattering to all kinds of plants and talking to himself... I don't know what she was doing.

Hermione was worried about that.

Then came Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.

Harry and the others were very happy to see Hagrid, especially when Sirius turned into Padfoot to meet them.

Of course, McGuffin was a little embarrassed.

The meeting with Sirius also made McGuffin... sober from his obsessive thinking about the [Blood Curse].

After several people gathered together and whispered a few words, Harry and Sirius agreed on the time of the next "real meeting", and the four of them hurried out of Hagrid's hut.

In case the Slytherin guys say anything weird and complain about Hagrid.

However, it was rare... The Slytherin students looked lifeless and didn't say much.

These guys...everyone has black bags under their eyes in circles, like they haven't closed their eyes for days.

Even the students who met Gryffindor, that is, Harry and the others, did not sarcasm, but carried out routine provocations.

"What's wrong with these guys?" Ron said gloatingly.

"I heard that Sri Lankan, that is, those wizards in New Zealand frightened Slytherin guys. Their school... oh, or a place called a magic secret society... they learn all the primitive ancient curses and curses that have not been modified by modern magic..." Seamus said with great excitement, "Before casting a spell, sacrifices are required..."

"Sacrifice what?" Harry asked strangely.

Not even the Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by Snape taught such a thing.

"kill!"

Seamo lowered his voice and made a gesture of cutting his throat pretending to be mysterious, but seeing that a large number of students around him were terrified, he quickly added, "Of course, this may not necessarily be the case...Anyway, it will always be accompanied by various bloody and disgusting magic rituals..."

"Simply speaking, it's killing, blood, sacrifice of the soul... Very, very primitive dark, brutal and bloody magic, but at the same time it's troublesome and powerful."

"The Ministry of Magic took great pains in the sixteenth century to remove the influence of these primitive dark arts." Hermione added.

"I heard that the environment in the Slytherin common room these two days has been very bad, very scary... Compared with the original skulls, the sculptures of horror sculptures are much more infiltrating! Look at what these guys look like." Seamus said happily.

The students of Slytherin, including LS Malfoy, Millicent's listless look, who can't bring up anything... It seems to be a bit of proof of Seamus Fegani's statement,
until……

Hagrid took out a large stack of crumbling boxes from the vegetable patch behind the hut, and each box contained a snail that had grown rapidly in size.

This thing is extremely refreshing!
In particular, Hagrid was very happy to announce:

In this class, each student has to take a rein and tie a fried-tailed conch for a walk...

This bad idea-it immediately exploded among everyone, and the students were very scared and resisted after hearing it.

After Heglar chatted with Harry and McGuffin for a while about Sirius' current situation, the topic inevitably focused on other magic schools and the next week's selection of warriors.

"It's very troublesome. I can only say that it is very difficult. Just the first event is very dangerous... At your age, it is best not to participate in the 'Top Ten Tournament'."

Hagrid turned to the others and said very seriously.

Afterwards, he added, "Except for you, MacGuffin, of course."

"What's the first project, what the hell do you know, Hagrid?" asked Ron.

"Fire dragons, all kinds of dangerous monsters!"

"As long as there are no snails, and spiders... I can accept it!" Ron said, staring at the distance (students were being dragged by the snails) in disgust.

"You're too harsh, Ron. These little guys haven't grown up yet?" Hagrid said with some reproach.

"This is called not growing up!"

Hermione and the others looked at the three-foot-long terrifying monster, shaking their heads in disbelief.

The snails aren't what they were when they were babies, but they're still disgusting, they used to be limp and shellless, and now they're more menacing...a thick, shiny, off-white carapace grows, and the whole thing looks somewhere between a scorpion and a crab...

The only thing that hasn't changed in those monsters is their violent temper and their fart habit...

Now on the field, the students of the two colleges were being led around by these fire-breathing guys from time to time....

I don't know in the end - who slipped whom?

After finishing Hagrid's protection of magical animals class, during lunch time, McGuffin and the others enjoyed another challenge from other magic schools.

This time it was hosted by Barty Crouch, Akin Button, and Professor McGonagall.

I saw that in the old classroom, after the duel field with burning flame triangles unfolded,
That Japanese wizard Akagi Eiichi started his own challenge.

Compared to the twins, or even the student representatives of other magic schools,

This guy's strength and actual combat level are undoubtedly a level higher.

He dealt with the phantom of Slytherin first.

In McGuffin's view, this phantom should be the most difficult to deal with.

Because this uncle doesn't care about the casualties of the challenger.

All kinds of black magic spells come at the fingertips, and they are constantly issued... If you hit one of them, at least you will lose your limbs.

As Slytherin waved his wand, the ground began to summon... all kinds of poisonous snakes spread out, approaching and attacking Akagi Eiichi.

If McGuffin was to deal with it, they could only float into the air, or summon flames...

Akagi Eiichi directly inserted the wand in his hand into the floor.

There were gaps in the floor of the old classroom, and some blue-black bone claws protruded from the inside... These things grabbed the poisonous snakes almost instantly and tore them to pieces.

At the same time, the phantom of Slytherin was also firmly held by these bone claws, and was trapped in place.

Judging from the blue-black magic power entwined on the bone claw, this thing is also attached with powerful black magic.

The bodies of those poisonous snakes that were touched and shredded... Gradually shed their skin and shrink into mummies, which is enough to prove this point.

Without Slytherin being careless, Eiichi Akagi won the first stage, and then the other three phantoms stood up and attacked the Japanese wizard at the same time.

Gryffindor was in charge of a frontal breakthrough. Under his transformation, the ground of the old classroom quickly turned into a large swamp. Ravenclaw attacked Akagi Eiichi with various spells, making him unable to do anything. He cast magic to make other disturbances, and then Hufflepuff's phantom directly summoned thousands of vines in the swamp... entangled Akagi Eiichi at once, and hung upside down in the air like that.

The vines whipped a few firecrackers in the air, making a loud crackling sound.

I don't know what I thought of, Akagi Eiichi's face immediately changed, and then he surrendered directly, without struggling any more.

This Japanese wizard also became the closest challenger to victory in the next few days.
