A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Dumbledore shook Moody's hand and motioned for him to sit in the empty seat at the teachers' bench.

"Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody."

The students seemed to be intimidated by his exaggerated figure, and there was very little applause in response. Even in the teacher's seat, only Hagrid welcomed him.

Moody didn't care about this, or in other words, he was mentally prepared. He took out a wine bottle from his arms and drank heavily.

"Ahem!" Dumbledore coughed, "Let's get down to business, Hogwarts has been selected to host a very prestigious event, the Triwizard Tournament."

"Are you kidding me!" Fred shouted.

"Of course it's not a joke, Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore smiled, "Some of you may not know that the Triwizard Tournament is a series of magical competitions between three schools.

Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, each school selects a warrior, and then three warriors compete in three magic projects.

This was originally an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to establish friendship, but then too many people died and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted. More than a century has passed so far.

But this summer, both the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports felt that the time was ripe and decided to resume the competition.

In addition to receiving great honors for their school, the final winner will also receive a prize of one thousand gold galleons. "

As the words fell, the auditorium instantly boiled.

"I want to participate."

Fred and George shouted, their eyes shining with excitement.

There are many wizards like them, and there are people in front of the long tables in every academy with enthusiastic eyes and eagerness to try.

In the Triwizard Tournament, the winner means eternal glory and will directly gain fame in the magic world, which has unparalleled attraction for everyone.

Aaron looked at these excited wizards who couldn't help themselves, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.

A bunch of idiots, they all know with their toes that this kind of competition is full of dangers. The Ministry of Magic may be well prepared, but who can guarantee that accidents will not happen!

Honor is important, but life is more important.

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, and the auditorium fell silent. "But the events of the Triwizard Tournament are difficult and dangerous, no matter how many precautions we take.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic decided to set an age limit for competitors, seventeen years old. Only students over seventeen years old are allowed to register for the Triwizard Tournament..."

Hearing this, many students who were interested in the Triwizard Tournament protested and even became angry.

Seventeen? Just say that only graduating students are eligible to participate.

Dumbledore had expected this, and he would have found it difficult to accept this psychological gap.

Just as he was about to explain, a figure walked in from the side door. It was Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Barty Crouch glanced at the students who were still in a state of anger, and walked up to Dumbledore with a complicated expression, "The situation has changed."

"What's the meaning?"

Barty Crouch hesitated for a moment, then leaned into his ear and whispered.

Half a minute later, Dumbledore's blue eyes widened slightly, with a hint of disbelief on his face.

"Are you serious? Fudge actually made such a decision?"

"To be precise, this is a decision made by the International Federation of Magic, and Fudge only voted in favor."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then looked at everyone in the audience, "Good news, I don't think it is good news, but you must think it is.

Just now, the Ministry of Magic lowered the age limit for participating in the Triwizard Tournament.

The age of seventeen was changed to fourteen, which means that wizards in fourth grade and above are eligible to register. "

Many students who were still protesting couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this, but then they became ecstatic and couldn't help shouting "Long live the Ministry of Magic."

"Quiet." Several black lines appeared on Dumbledore's face, "Although the age standard has dropped, I must remind some people who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

This is dangerous, very dangerous, and not for those with weak hearts. "

"Albus." Crouch winked at Dumbledore.

"Then... I would like to ask Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, to give further explanation."

Crouch walked to the stage, faced everyone, took a deep breath and said: "The Triwizard Tournament will be held again after more than a century, and the Ministry of Magic takes this very, very seriously.

This time we invited the most professional referees and lowered the registration limit, but the most important thing is that more than one warrior from the three schools can participate. "

"Really, Mr. Crouch?" George couldn't hide his excitement, which meant that both their twin brothers could participate.

"Of course it's true." Crouch explained. "The Triwizard Tournament is a competition between three schools, not a competition between three people."

"This is very dangerous, doesn't Fudge know?" Dumbledore said angrily.

He could accept it if the registration standards were just lowered, because only the best warriors could represent the school, but if the number of participants was expanded, the possibility of accidents would not be as high.

"Principal Dumbledore, I understand your concerns." Klaus said patiently, "I also felt it was very dangerous at first, but this time it is different. We have ways to ensure that the contestants will not be in danger.

And you can’t participate just by signing up. Only outstanding wizards selected by the referee are eligible. In other words, we are only giving the fourth and fifth people a chance. "

"are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, it's just not convenient to explain right now."

After receiving a positive answer, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to ask something else, but when he thought that Barty Crouch was just a messenger, he gave up the plan.

“Delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive in October and will spend most of the academic year with us.

The specific details of the Triwizard Tournament will be communicated to everyone when they arrive.

Okay, it's getting late now. In order to walk into class with a clear head tomorrow, let's go to bed. "

There was a roar in the auditorium, and every student stood up with excited expressions and rushed to the door of the auditorium.

"At fourteen, we can all participate." Ron said excitedly.

"I suddenly felt that Mr. Barty Crouch was a very good man." Harry said with a smile, "No wonder Percy respects him so much. It's not without reason."

"Didn't you hear what the principal said?" Hermione said speechlessly, "It's very dangerous. Many people have died in this competition before."

"That was many years ago, and the Ministry of Magic ensured that there would be no life-threatening danger." Fred came over and said, "In addition to the honor, there is also a bonus of one thousand galleons. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"That's right." George nodded in agreement, "It has been more than a century since we decided to hold the Triwizard Tournament again, and it will be held every five years, and we can only study at Hogwarts for seven years.

Hermione, think about it, what does this mean?

It means that everyone only has one chance, and Merlin will not give this kind of opportunity a second time. "

Hearing this, Hermione hesitated for a moment.

What Gryffindors want most is fun adventures, and this opportunity is truly rare.

Apart from her, many fourth-year wizards have the same idea. In short, there is no danger to their lives. Even if they are just making up the numbers, it is worth it. It can gain some knowledge.

As for the wizards of higher grades, they don't care even more. There is only one winner of the Triwizard Tournament, and wizards of lower grades have no advantage at all in terms of knowledge theory ability.

Moreover, the more people there are, the more valuable the trophy will be.

...

Slytherin common room.

Aaron lay quietly on the bed in the dormitory alone.

Others were enthusiastically discussing whether to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, but he didn't consider it at all.

honor? Can that thing be eaten?

Even if there is no danger, a lot of time will be wasted.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to learn more magic and improve his own strength when he has time to participate in competitions?

"System, open the personal panel."

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic energy: Body 5582, primary magister; Thought body 5582, primary magister; total 11164 (primary great magister, a rare existence in the magic world)]

[Talent: Once-in-a-lifetime (the magic energy increases by 4 points every day, the body increases by 2 points, and the thoughts body increases by 2 points)]

[Items: Moon Drops (2/3 can remove any negative spells), Resurrection Potion (can resurrect any creature that dies within an hour)]

[Magic Points: 490]

"Sign in."

"The host successfully signed in at Hogwarts and received ten magic points."

Hearing the sound of the system, Aaron looked at the column of magic points. Four hundred and ninety turned into five hundred, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was immediately satisfied.

"Just right"

Aaron murmured with satisfaction, then opened the system mall and set his sights on the magic column.

[Magic type: @Air control (100 magic points, flying speed depends on personal strength); @Charm (500 magic points, literally, but it is ineffective for people with a strong will); @Soul release Aperture (300 magic points); @Dress up (100 magic points, directly replace with equipment pre-stored in other spaces); @Traceless Stretch Spell (200 magic points)]

He decisively placed an order on Charm, fearing that he would regret it if it was too late. After all, other magics also had great temptations for him.

He was very greedy for flying in the air and leaving his body, but he could barely restrain himself.

Because there is already a tiger charm in the item category, he will definitely create other charms in the future. These two magics are just simplified versions of the chicken charm and the sheep charm, and are less cost-effective.

But the Seamless Stretch Spell and the change of clothes are different. The tent during the Quidditch World Cup gave him a pretty good experience. It is still unknown what world he will go to next, but if he learns this magic, he will not have to worry about the quality of his life. .

The magic of changing equipment is also very useful. He asked Alger to build several firearms. The ability to switch equipment at any time also improves his combat power.
