Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2548 Smoke and Mirror (14)

In ancient Greek mythology, there was a huge labyrinth on the island of Crete, in which lived a minotaur, and the Greeks would regularly send boys and girls to the labyrinth for him to eat.

There is also a legend that Zeus, the god of heaven, fell in love with a princess when he was wandering in the world. The princess's name was Europa. One day Zeus saw the princess and the maids playing, so he asked his son Hermes to herd cattle and turned himself into a cat. The white cow mingled with the herd and came to her side. The unknowing princess approached the beautiful cow curiously, but the cow carried her straight to the sea and came to Crete. The princess gave birth to three sons for Zeus, one of whom was the king of Crete.

"What do you think, Barty?" Albus asked Barty Crouch, Head of Communications and Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, after hearing her idea.

Barty Crouch seemed lost in thought.

Placing the trophy in the center of the maze and letting the contestants take it will make the award ceremony meaningless, which will be disappointing to those "big shots" who want to leave their names in history through the award ceremony.

However, the children liked her design very much, and their faces were full of excitement when discussing.

"The third round will be held next year, and it's too early to discuss it now." Crouch said, "I must remind you that after signing this agreement, you must not tell the players everything you know, or anything related to the players." People, otherwise you will be severely punished, and signing the agreement also means that you will lose the opportunity to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, are you clear?"

No one answered, this was the third time Crouch repeated, but only one person left, the others chose to stay.

So Crouch took out his wand, and put away the copies of the confidentiality agreement signed by the children with a summoning spell.

"Now I declare that the contract is valid." Crouch said in the same tone when he was the director of the Ministry of Magic's Executive Department. Immediately afterwards, the paper ball of the agreement became a ball, and beams of light came out from the paper ball and fell on the children. body.

"From now on, you will not be restricted in using magic, even though you are still underage." Barty Crouch said seriously to the children, "I hope you can use your magic properly and don't violate the law during the holidays." thing."

"Yes, Mr. Director." The children answered together.

Then Barty Crouch nodded at Albus and left the tent.

"So I don't have to think about it?" Pomona asked Albus.

"You keep doing what you have to do," said Albus, and left the tent as well.

"Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's arrangements." After they were all gone, Pomona went to the blackboard and said to the crowd, "Assuming this is the entire field, the entrance and the stands are here."

She draws as she talks, and if the Quidditch pitch is an oval, the entrance looks like it's been bitten.

"Such a small place..." said Penelope Clearwater.

"It's enough for us." Pomona said, "Your task tomorrow morning is to arrange the entrance. I hope that the defensive magic you have arranged before is strong enough. From tomorrow onwards, non-staff will not be allowed to enter the venue."

"Yes, Professor," said the children, all of whom wore a golden badge on their chests, which was the symbol of "staff", and like the Ministry of Magic, only with it could they enter.

Most of these children are in the sixth and seventh grades, and some of them have just graduated. They can use this "internship" opportunity to get in touch with members of the Ministry of Magic and prepare for the future.

Except for Neville Longbottom, who will only be in the fourth grade next school year, he appears here so abruptly that it is hard not to attract attention, even Barty Crouch gave him a second look, even though he was in the school are ignored most of the time.

==================================================== ======

After the Dark Mark was lit up over the Quidditch World Cup, Barty Crouch finally chose to agree to her proposal, setting the trophy in the center of the maze, eliminating the awarding process and keeping outsiders as little as possible. People enter the school.

The fire of the Goblet of Fire is blue, and Albus pointed at it with the Elder Wand, and took a small ball of flame out of it, and put it in an ordinary glass trophy, which glowed a faint blue after getting the flame. Just such a small amount of light is enough to power the entire maze.

When the trophy is picked up, the maze will lose its power and will no longer continue to transform, and the grass will become ordinary grass, which can be destroyed with the obscuring spell or fire magic, but before that they are like a wall A wall is something that contestants cannot break through.

The ancient Goblet of Fire itself has a very strong defense, and ordinary spells have no effect on it. Even if I learned later, the confusion spell used by Barty Crouch Jr. was also strengthened, and it was not that he was in school. learned from.

Barty Crouch Jr. has always been a top student, Voldemort taught him without effort, but Wormtail, when he prepared the resurrection potion for his master, even with Voldemort personally supervised, he always made mistakes, so he was always scolded by his master .

Georgiana rubbed her face. In the memory of Tina and Scamander, the magic fire lit by Grindelwald in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, the Lestrange family cemetery is also blue, and the fire in the Goblet of Fire The flames are uniform in color.

Of course, the color of many magics is also blue, such as flying sand and rocks, but the fire in the Goblet of Fire and the fire lit by Grindelwald have the same effect, that is, to "remove impurities", all Grindelwald followers who are not pure enough in determination All were burned to ashes, whether he was pure blood or half blood.

But not the Goblet of Fire, at least Harry wasn't the best at Hogwarts, or even the best in his year.

How did he become a "champion"?

In order to prevent Death Eaters from infiltrating the school to seek misconduct, Albus and Barty Crouch also specially set up an age circle around the Goblet of Fire. Those who do not meet the age are not allowed to enter, even if they put their names in it, they will not be banned. The Goblet of Fire considers it ineligible to compete.

But Harry still became the fourth contestant.

Pomona always thought that Albus and Grindelwald were rivals and confidants. She found out after reading the correspondence between the two that they were actually lovers. In addition to the common ideal of reshaping the world, they also searched for The Deathly Hallows, in fact, Grindelwald came to Godric's Valley just to find clues about the Deathly Hallows.

It was probably during the 12th and 13th centuries that the Peverill brothers created the Deathly Hallows.

It was before the Renaissance, and a large number of ancient Greek books were brought back by the Crusades. There are real alchemists and fake alchemists. Fake alchemists will lie that they know the secret of turning stones into gold, and the "evidence" they present is "fool's gold". The reputation of alchemists has deteriorated due to the prevalence of fraud, and they are almost indistinguishable from charlatans.

There is a saying that true gold is not afraid of fire.

At least the Goblet of Fire believes that Harry Potter in the fourth grade is better than those seniors who are older than him, otherwise even if Barty Crouch Jr. cheated and voted in his name, the Goblet of Fire would not have selected Harry.

Alchemy was introduced to Europe from Arabia, but its foundation is most likely ancient Greece. The ancient Greek term Pneuma was mentioned in the book on the soul written by the Arabs, but Arab alchemy may not have copied it Hermes alchemy, in that book there are many Arabs' own understanding and reasoning.

Human body refining is also a kind of alchemy, although it is taboo.

Because of the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort's resurrection was successful, and ordinary fire is not enough to produce that kind of power.

She touched her ears subconsciously. There used to be a pair of snowflake earrings there. Black magic was used on them. As long as he approached them, they would heat up. He felt that it was shy, and his ears would get hot.

She touched Napoleon's hand, and he was hot, hotter than the other "people," as if he were alive.

In travel magazines, the cemetery of Père Lachaise is also a must-see in Paris, and the cemetery of Père Lachaise was planned and built after Napoleon became emperor in 1804.

But the emperor's cemetery is in the church of Les Invalides, although it is very luxurious, Les Invalides, also known as the Invalids in Paris, is the building used by Louis XIV to house the disabled soldiers in his army.

She fiddled with the fire opal ring on the table, which was still not a wedding ring.

Although she didn't know what Hathor wanted to do in this world, she had already decided that she would not bring her "dwelling place" into this world as ordered by the Egyptian God of Love.

No matter what punishment she faces from the gods, even if she is chained to the mountain like Prometheus who stole the skyfire, this is the last thing she can do for him.

"Goodbye, Leon."

She said softly, put on the ring, and left the rest room as she usually drank Polyjuice Potion before going out.
