A day at Hogwarts

"Who do you think Charles is dating now?"

Harry seemed very interested in Charles' gossip, and he couldn't help but bring up this topic when everyone was chatting after finishing their homework.

Lavender smiled and asked: "Harry, do you want a German mother or a French mother?"

The people around laughed.

Parvati shook her head and said, "It's probably not the German mother. The way she looks at Charles is different from the way couples look."

"More like...Hermione seeing dessert."

She found a very vivid metaphor.

Hermione was holding a Macedonian Cream Triangle, ready to put it in her mouth. This is a small dessert made of meringue made into a cone shape with various flavors of cream inside. It can be purchased from Dancing Grass Restaurant through the takeaway counter.

She looked around. She was reading a book, eating dessert, and doing her two favorite things. However, the topic came to her head.

Seamus nodded and said, "It does look like it. I remember Charles mentioned that Erica sucked his blood."

"Wow!" Lavender screamed in surprise, "How did she suck blood and bite Charles' neck directly?"

At this time, Hermione had just finished eating a cream triangle. She shook her head and said, "That was a long time ago. Now vampires have a set of tools for taking blood, and they are obliged to stop the bleeding and treat it after taking the blood."

"Well... the International Federation of Wizards also has relevant laws that require the other party's consent and so on."

Lavender looked disappointed.

Then she asked Hermione: "Can a hybrid child of a vampire and a human still drink blood?"

Hermione recalled the books she had read, shook her head and said, "I don't know, no one talks about this kind of thing."

Lavender said regretfully: "If only Charles would work hard he could solve this mystery."

After hearing this, Seamus said: "Then we can see the human body refining experiment done by Charles in the alchemy class."

Hermione immediately said: "Seamus, it is illegal to create human bodies!"

Seamus said matter-of-factly: "Because it's illegal."

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

Parvati added: "I heard that Charles has not decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Miss Delacour."

Seamus shook his head and said, "So what if the situation is really uncertain."

"Charles is very busy now and has no time to spend with his girlfriend. It is better to wait until he is free."

Parvati said: "Oh, I'm afraid that at the end of the day I'll find nothing."

"By the way!" Lavender turned the topic to Seamus, "Seamus, I have seen you often with Miss Prewett of Slytherin recently."

Parvati also said: "Yeah, I often see you going to the library together recently. Now you go to the library more often than Hermione."

Neville joined the conversation: "I saw them eating ice cream together in Diagon Alley during the summer vacation."

Harry answered immediately: "I saw it too."

Seamus realized that the gossip topic had shifted to him again, and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Everyone said that her father is a colleague of Charles, and Charles asked me to take her to familiarize herself with Hogwarts Castle."

"Like Hermione, she is a girl who loves to read. She borrows a lot of books every time, so I can help with them."

Everyone around except Ron looked like they were having fun.

Then Angelina Johnson, a sixth grader, came over and sat next to Seamus.

She said to Seamus: "Finigan, I will be seventeen on my birthday next week and can sign up for the Triwizard Tournament. What if I choose you to be my assistant?"

Simo suddenly attracted surprised and envious glances from around him.

He himself was surprised and asked: "Can I be an assistant?"

"Of course you can be an assistant," Johnson said seriously.

"In the competition rules, there is no age limit for assistants, and first-year students are also allowed."

"However, the Warriors are responsible for the safety of their assistants, and there is a limit on the number, so they cannot choose casually."

"I believe in your strength, so I decided to invite you."

Seamus immediately replied happily: "Okay, I promise you!"

Harry, Ron, Neville and others looked at Johnson expectantly, hoping that they would be next.

Fred and George stood behind Johnson, posing in their most handsome looks, waiting for her to turn around.

Johnson then said to Hermione: "Granger, would you be interested?"

This invitation was unexpected by everyone, and Hermione was also startled. With a trembling hand, she stuffed a cream triangle into her nostrils.

Harry and Ron looked at Hermione enviously. Johnson said just now that the number of students was limited, which meant that there would not be many places for lower-grade students. With Seamus and Hermione, they would have no chance.

Hermione asked in confusion: "Why did you invite me?"

She felt that she just read too many books and was not that powerful.

Johnson said: "It is rumored that the next few games will need to face a series of challenges such as magical animals, herbal medicine, black magic, and breaking curses. This requires teamwork, and the team must have players with different specialties."

"When participating in the competition, you need to know what you will face and what solutions are available in the shortest possible time. However, everyone can only use the magic wand and cannot move the library. We think the best solution is to invite you."

Hermione discovered the key word: "You? Who are you?"

Johnson said: "Oh, this is the person who Professor Dumbledore thinks may be selected by the Goblet of Fire. We received extra training during the summer vacation."

"I have discussed this issue with Diggory and the others. You are the most suitable candidate, and Wallings from Slytherin thinks so too."

Hermione was worried that she would not be recognized by wizards at first because of her background, so she worked hard.

Years of hard work now have positive feedback. Even Slytherin students recognize her and blush with excitement.

"I have no problem!" Hermione was more excited than Seamus, "I can do it!"

Harry looked at Johnson with four eyes full of expectations. He was the "savior", so he should have his share.

But at this time, Johnson said: "You are the preliminary candidates for the fourth grade. The specific number and personnel need to be determined in the first few games."

Harry, Neville and others wailed.

Ron said sourly: "If Charles was here today, he would definitely have a share."

Lavender said seriously: "It doesn't matter. The Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous. If Granger participates, he will definitely join."

Everyone felt that what she said made sense. If Hermione was in danger, how could Charles not take action?

"I wonder what will happen if Charles participates." Neville said, "I don't think Ruby can participate with him."

Harry said, "Of course not. Angelina just said that only wands can be used."

He began to daydream again: "Hey, if Charles is selected as a warrior, he will definitely ask me to be his assistant."

"Yeah." Neville also said, "He will definitely ask us."

Ron suddenly thought of an idea and whispered, "Why don't we find someone to throw Charles' name into the Goblet of Fire."

Neville immediately rejected it: "No, I heard that the Goblet of Fire is evaluated by the strength of the person who throws the name. If the person who throws the name can be selected, why not throw his own name."

Everyone thought about it, why help Charles sign up when they can sign up themselves.

Ron came up with another idea: "Then ask Ruby to help, let it grab the note and fly in!"

"Maybe Peeves can do it!" he added.
