Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

Chapter 88 Goblet of Fire (two in one, sort out the subsequent plot)

In front of the professor's chair, the shabby Sorting Hat began to sing again.

It starts counting silently every year after the freshmen sorting is over, and looks forward to singing a song at the sorting ceremony in the coming year.

For this reason, after the ceremony is over, it will start to meditate on the lyrics for the next year.

On weekdays, it would stay in the corner of the principal's office and eat dust, if it didn't have the more precious Sword of Gryffindor hidden in its body.

It should be dropped into the Hogwarts warehouse where magic items are stored.

That would drive it crazy, being with a bunch of magic objects that have no intelligence and can't communicate.

It's hard to believe that Gretel, being such a talkative person, went in and out of Dumbledore's office so many times without hearing its sound.

So Gretel felt that Dumbledore must have cast a spell on it.

No one can tolerate a hat harassing his ears 24 hours a day.

Even if that person is Dumbledore, it is no exception.

This year's freshmen seem to be extremely unlucky. The weather tonight is windy and rainy, but they don't look like they were hit by the wind and rain, more like they took a bath in the black lake.

When a wet little wizard stood in front of the Sorting Hat, Grete heard its exclamation.

"Poor little guy, you must be freezing.

Take me up quickly and you can warm yourself up with the hot broth after the sorting is over. "

The first guest of the Sorting Hat this year was a little wizard named Ackerley, who was sorted into the wise Ravenclaw.

After taking off his hat, the young man was shaking with excitement, and the senior students of Eagle Academy also sent their blessings at the right time.

"Gretel, look at this child, he is so excited that he is about to faint."

Amid the celebrations, Terry leaned close to Gretel and whispered.

Grete tilted his head. Why did he feel that the little guy was frozen? The child's lips were a little white.

When Ackerley passed by quickly, Grete took out his wand, waved it gently, and gave the child a 'water removal, dehumidification' and 'warmth'.

This kind of little trick can be said to be readily available to Gretel nowadays.

As the spell took effect, the color on the child's face finally struggled to come out.

"Thanks."

Ackerley was stunned for a moment, and then under Terry's secretly pointing finger, he recognized the real person who helped him.

It wasn't until Grete smiled and nodded imperceptibly that Ackerley rushed to the bottom of Ravenclaw with gratitude.

Grete didn't know how many similar little spells he had figured out when he was studying his own condition during the holidays.

For him, there is no need for magic spells at all. As long as he waves his hand, the magic power will be completed according to his ideas.

In the end, it was Penelotti's opinion, saying that learning more of Gretel's unique magic might allow members of the organization to draw parallels and realize something more useful.

With the help of others, Gretel took time out during the holidays to summarize a lot of things.

The fluctuation of the curse was surprisingly eye-catching on such a serious occasion.

Whether it was the rostrum or the four major colleges, many people looked over.

Dumbledore was neither sad nor happy. He took one look and then focused his attention on the little wizard in front of him again.

Professor McGonagall paused for a moment before calling out the next name and asking him to come up and wait for the sorting.

Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick each gave Gretel a smile.

Gretel also noticed his dean and quietly extended his thumb to give him a thumbs up.

Professor Snape frowned and glared at Gretel hard.

"Okay, I have to be criticized by the professor again for losing my brain."

Gretel secretly sighed. Over the past two years, Professor Snape would remind him in subtle ways from time to time.

Let him stop jumping around in front of Dumbledore's eyes, lest the White Devil free his hand to deal with him one day.

Also, after Remus Lupine left, the post of Night Watchman became vacant, and a wizard with black hair and a hooked nose took over.

But those can be called dry cheeks, making him look even thinner than Filch in the past.

Sitting in the corner next to the rostrum, he impatiently played with the wand in his hand, his sinister eyes shooting straight along the dining tables of the four colleges.

Grete felt that he was looking for a thorn in the side so that he could use the first fire to establish his authority.

In addition, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor 'Mad Eye Moody' has a demonic eye swishing back and forth in his eye sockets. He is so fierce that he does not relax even if he is facing a student. .

With Gretel setting an example, many members of Gretel's team from the four colleges stepped forward.

As long as these little guys who are about to be frozen can be warmed up as soon as possible, there is no problem in being a little exposed.

Of course, they are not stupid. Those who stood up were all graduates of this year.

Just like Gretel mentioned in every meeting after gaining the power to protect himself: "As long as I don't officially carry the banner, even Dumbledore can't expel me from Hogwarts at will.

That person is about to return, and from now on, we must spread our wings appropriately. "

Not to mention the little wizard who was warmed, when the four colleges came out from time to time with a whisper of removing water, dehumidification and warmth.

Dumbledore was slightly shocked and turned his eyes back. After all, it was the principal. He had some moral integrity in him. He smacked his lips and ignored the movement around him.

Professor McGonagall was somewhat affected, and her hands looked a little stiff when rolling the parchment.

Professor Sprout was stunned for a moment, looked at Dumbledore, and simply didn't pay attention to anything. He watched with a smile as another young wizard rushed towards Hufflepuff's long table.

Professor Flitwick looked at Gretel curiously. Anyway, he believed that Gretel would definitely not be a disaster. This was confirmed through three years of getting along with him.

Snape's eyes were full of shock and reproach, and Gretel suspected that if it hadn't been for the opening ceremony, he would have drowned himself in spit.

Moody, played by Barty Crouch Jr., has a consistent frown and no signs of revealing his identity.

The new gatekeeper took a look at the expressions of the people present, and silently turned his attention to others, no longer focusing on Gretel, the dazzling target.

Someone took action, and Gretel was willing to be left alone. Anyway, he just couldn't bear to see these little guys being cold.

Strength is the confidence to speak. Two years ago, he would have been trouble-free. At that time, he had no ability to jump out of the chessboard.

——

"Gretel, do you really not have to worry about Dumbledore?

Forget it, we all support what you decided to do anyway, let’s talk about why you didn’t catch the train today. "

After the opening ceremony, Gretel huddled on the bed in the dormitory and sent a message to Penello.

Early on the morning of September 1st, Gretel packed up his things and prepared to go to King's Cross Station.

When he stepped out of Diagon Alley and was about to apparate to the station, he saw the figure of the owner of Florin's cold drink shop.

He looked a little anxious, very different from his usual calm demeanor.

Ordinarily, in such a hurry, it is normal for him, an adult wizard, to choose a faster Apparition.

But he simply put on a disillusionment spell and rode on a magic broom.

Gretel knew about Florin's ability to apparate. As a well-known Diagon Alley shop owner in Great Britain, he often used apparation to deliver goods to the door of his big customers.

Today's unusual behavior caught Gretel's attention.

Having long been curious about Florin's identity, Gretel simply put his things away and followed him straight away.

I followed Florin all the way to the sea, to a small reef.

Looking at the water stains above, it is obvious that this kind of reef will only show its small tip after low tide.

Portkey, there is actually a doorkey hidden in a place like this.

Gretel made sure that he was not exposed, but Florin confidently pointed at Gretel's position in the sky and broke his figure.

After some conversation, Grete found out that Florin actually came from Kunlun, the most mysterious gathering place of extraordinary beings in the world.

Perhaps in order to get rid of Grete quickly, Florin gave Grete an identity certificate, a delicate bronze sword with the word "Kunlun" engraved on the sword.

"When you have time, you can come to Kunlun. You are already on Kunlun's invitation list."

…

"Kunlun?" Penello almost rushed to the door of the boys' dormitory and called Grete out of the dormitory.

Gretel looked at Penello with some surprise. He had only heard of Kunlun's name. He was introduced to it by Vladimir when he was in Godot Town. Dolson's craftsmanship was perfected in Kunlun.

However, in the entire town of Gordo, only Dolson is familiar with Kunlun. Due to the protection of a certain contract, Dolson cannot disclose the situation of Kunlun to others.

Penello calmed down for a moment before explaining to Gretel.

Her father almost had the opportunity to study in Kunlun when he was young, but due to some reasons, it was not possible in the end.

This is also the regret of Mr. Crevat's life. Therefore, Penello has been full of fantasies about that mysterious place since he was a child.

It is said that gold and gems are everywhere in Kunlun. Rare and exotic treasures that are rare in the British magical world are everywhere there. Rare and exotic beasts that are rarely seen in the outside world can only be regarded as ordinary there.

However, Kunlun has rarely had contact with outside wizards since ancient times, and the wizards who can go there are all the best in each country.

After hearing Penello's introduction, Gretel had a rare sweet dream.

In his dream, he heard a familiar local accent, and in his dream he saw an extraordinary wizard who matched the mysterious oriental painting style.

However, why would someone ride a gourd, and why are there guardrails on the flying sword?

After waking up, Grete shook his head strangely and threw this bizarre dream behind him.

After trying to figure out who was the undercover at the opening ceremony, Gretel thought he would be targeted.

At worst, Dumbledore would call him to have a heart-to-heart talk.

But nothing happened, no one gave him special treatment, even those graduates met him without any taboo, and Dumbledore did not make any reaction.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten what happened that day. Gretel's daily life was to go to class on time, go to bed on time, and pull team members together from time to time for a detailed magic teaching.

Counting four school years, Moody, played by Barty Crouch Jr., is definitely the professor who best fits the identity of a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Others, even Remus Lupin, were constrained by their status and rarely introduced the Unforgivable Curse to the students at Hogwarts.

In other words, Dumbledore recruited Moody as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor because of his no-holds-barred temperament.

Gretel even suspected that if the real Mad-Eye Moody were to teach, he might be more radical than Barty Crouch Jr.

In less than a month of teaching, ‘Moody’ successfully conquered everyone at Hogwarts, from students to professors.

Not to mention his personality, at least his wholehearted attitude in teaching conquered everyone.

…

Except for Severus Snape, the Potions Professor who was angry with Gretel on a daily basis.

He distrusted all Defense Against the Dark Arts professors except himself.

"When using Shen Feng Wu Ying, don't raise your wand so high. Are you afraid that the enemy won't know that you are going to attack him?

Hidden, you know, hidden, hide your wand out of sight. "

While Snape pressed Gretel's shoulders and sprayed wildly, he took great pains to cover him up and used the blind spots in his sight to cast his spell on the enemy.

In the response room, in the corner of the huge training ground, the demon dolls cut into pieces by Shen Feng Wuying have almost piled up into a small mountain.

Gretel wanted to pull Snape's clothes and tell him that his strength was no longer what it used to be.

But seeing that even though Snape was furious, he still couldn't hide his worried eyes, he honestly raised his wand again.

The tip of the wand was slightly raised, and a hidden blade flew out from the wand, cutting the devil in the distance in half.

"In actual combat, you don't have to worry about hurting me, if you have the ability."

When leaving the Room of Requirement, even though he had cast the healing spell on himself countless times, Snape's steps still seemed a bit unsteady.

"I have nothing more to teach you, so you don't have to go to my office for solitary confinement in the future."

Snape only left Grete with these words and a retreating figure.

The next day, when Gretel returned to the Potions Professor's office, he saw a rare closed door.

He waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the door to open to him again.

——

On October 30th, the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations arrived at Hogwarts.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years and it is finally Hogwarts' turn to be the home venue.

As a landowner, Hogwarts was cleaned from the inside out a week ago.

A few of the less-than-clean portraits, with the curses that accompanied them, were collected into the Hogwarts warehouses.

According to the professor, if the Triwizard Tournament is not over for a day, they will not see the sun outside for a day.

Gretel didn't know what the appearance of Hogwarts was like five years ago. Anyway, he felt that both Beauxbatons and Durmstrang looked menacing.

First, Beauxbatons' huge aerial carriage landed at Hogwarts almost in a rampage.

Before a group of people could calm down, a large ship jumped out from the bottom of the Black Lake. Durmstrang raised the water mist with the large ship, almost covering the entire Hogwarts, announcing his arrival to everyone. .

Today’s update, I need to sort out the plot behind it. Good night, all book friends.
