I wield a sword at Hogwarts

With an ugly smile on his face, John said to Trelawney: "Sorry, Professor, I want to take a leave of absence."

It had only been half an hour into class when John asked for leave. Trelawney looked concerned and approved his leave, adding 30 points to his prediction.

John came out with a serious face. He felt very bad about that prophecy.

"Is this what happened around me?" When he arrived at the Black Lake, John tried to calm himself down.

He stared at the lake, feeling uneasy for the first time.

"It's okay. Equip everyone and everything will be fine."

Throwing a stone into the black lake, a mermaid popped up and was hit by the stone. It cursed in the lake.

When John looked at him, the mermaid immediately closed his mouth and dived into the water in fear.

By the time John returned to the castle, word had spread about yet another prophecy of his death.

This time it was more direct than in third grade.

"The choice of a warrior, let the blood fight, death blooms in the night, and the unquenchable flame takes away the beloved."

Ernie McMillan swallowed and said nervously: "This tells us that the warriors will die."

Hannah Abbott covered her mouth in surprise and said in horror: "Which warrior will die?"

"I think it's Harry Potter, after all you know..." Ernie didn't finish his sentence because he saw Harry passing by.

After John felt less uncomfortable, he headed to the auditorium.

He was very happy to see what Malfoy was discussing and immediately went up to double the amount of training.

He felt that among so many people, the person most likely to get into trouble should be Malfoy. After all, he attracted too much hatred, and something might happen to him while walking on the road.

Chapter 214 Underwater singing and head soaking spell

Recently, you can always see warriors holding golden eggs dangling in Hogwarts Castle.

Fleur was distressed, she knew John could unlock the secret, but to be fair to Cedric, she could only find it herself.

Along the way, she thought of various ways.

The same goes for Cedric, but his knowledge of Hogwarts allows him to unlock the secret of the golden egg faster.

As a prefect, he can enjoy the most luxurious bathing service in Hogwarts.

While taking a bath, Cedric accidentally dropped the golden egg into the bath in the prefect's bathroom.

He dived down to look for it and happened to hear the song of the golden egg.

"Look for us where our voices sound,

We cannot sing on the ground.

As you search, consider:

We took away your most precious treasure.

You only have an hour,

To find and regain what we took,

After an hour, all hope is gone,

It is completely gone and will never be seen again. "

Cedric was surprised, and after hearing the song, he emerged from the water with a head of bubbles in his head.

He said to himself: "Is this the clue to the second project?"

He hesitated whether he should tell others about this discovery.

“Harry told me about the first project, and although I already knew about it, his kindness was too great for me to ignore.”

Cedric thought of Fleur again. As a friend of the Star Club, he and Fleur were on the same side.

A fellow student, a fellow student.

He decided to ask John.

John also knew his confusion. He turned the ring on his finger and chuckled: "Cedric, you have a noble personality and your selfless dedication is admirable."

Cedric blushed a little at the praise, and John continued: "Follow your heart, but don't rush to tell me, let them find it by themselves. Fleur is a proud person, maybe she will know in a few days."

After John said this, Cedric suppressed his words and spoke out.

Time flies in school.

Seven days have passed in December.

Rain, snow and strong winds were raging over this thousand-year-old castle. The Care of Magical Zoology was outside, and the students in the pumpkin patch were shivering from the cold.

Because Hagrid was busy taking care of the goddess's twelve rune horses during this period, he cared less about the Blast-Ended Skrewts.

This also caused the Blast-Ended Skrewts to fight each other, leaving only ten of them.

The fried-tailed snails have no intention of hibernating after winter. Their thick shells store heat, and the liquid in their tails acts as a ignition device.

John stared at the Blast-Ended Skrewt, thinking that if he could extract the lighter fluid from the tail, he might be able to create a powerful explosion spell.

Just as I was thinking this, a beetle flew to the fence and stopped.

The more John looked, the more familiar he felt. His insight opened and he saw that the bug was exuding magic power.

It's Rita Skeeter, whose recent Savior series has received critical acclaim. She even came to school despite Dumbledore's ban in order to dig out more powerful information.

"Why didn't I see that she was so brave before?" John saw Rita flying to the back of the hut, and not long after, a woman in a magenta robe came out.

The iconic crocodile leather handbag is still hanging on his arm, and greed is written in his eyes.

Hagrid also spotted Rita, and he asked with some confusion: "Who are you?"

"My name is Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet." Rita replied, noticing John's gaze, and she gave John a wink that she thought was beautiful.

John's face darkened, OK, you're done.

Although Hagrid was more straightforward, he also knew that Dumbledore had placed a ban on Rita and did not want to pay attention to her.

But Rita was able to dig up so much information, not only because of the Animagus. She deliberately acted interested in the Explosive-tailed Skrewt and chatted with Hagrid.

Sure enough, Hagrid heard that someone was interested in blast-ended snails. As an expert in magical zoology, Hagrid suddenly blushed and looked excited.

Rita also discovered that Harry was there, and her eyes suddenly glowed with gold.

Under the guise of a zoology column, she successfully tricked Hagrid into setting up an interview date on Friday.

Before leaving, Rita said hello to Harry.

Looking at John, she was about to open her mouth, reveal her gold teeth, and flirt with the handsome student, when she saw John's deep and stressed eyes.

The words disappeared from her mouth, and a silver mask appeared in her mind, which immediately scared her and made her run away quickly.

John silently retracted his panic, watched her escape indifferently, and said to himself: "With Rita's temperament, I'm afraid that Friday's interview was a trap."

When it comes to finding explosive moments, Rita goes to any length.

Forget about others, Hagrid is his friend, so John naturally can't watch Hagrid being cheated.

So he handed the task over to Tang Mi. Tang Mi didn't have to take action himself. He only needed someone to remind Rita. When Hagrid was imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic, Lord Johnny Silverhand had spent a lot of money to guarantee her.

Rita, who originally thought she could use some writing, immediately languished.

…

The second event of the Triwizard Tournament is to search for objects underwater for an hour, but how to stay in the water for an hour becomes a problem.

John saw Cedric emerging from the black lake, and a bubble covered his head.

He was indeed the top student in the sixth grade, and John wanted to applaud him.

"Head Bubble Curse, it seems you have found a solution."

Cedric smiled and said: "I'm not skilled enough yet, I need to practice a few more times."

Malfoy did not run around because the task John gave him was to go to Neville to gain hatred.

Bullying is a piece of cake for Malfoy.

For example, Malfoy appeared next to the Black Lake with messy hair.

"John, I think it's almost done." Malfoy grinned, and the green and red corners of his mouth made him take a breath, "Neville is very irritable now. I barely said a few words to him before he beat me. "

"Then you didn't fight back?" John glanced at Malfoy, and Malfoy said with a guilty conscience: "Of course I am evenly matched with him."

John looked at it suspiciously and saw Heinrich walking over.

Heinrich's pale cheeks couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he said: "Draco led Goyle and Crabbe to beat Neville, and Neville chased him back to the common room."

Good guy.

Is this your even match?

John looked at Malfoy speechlessly, and Malfoy said awkwardly: "He took away the armor's sword. That idiot Goyle ran slowly and was almost hit."

"Is your anger so high?" John was stunned. It seemed that he still underestimated Malfoy. This ability to attract hatred was stronger than the previous humiliation in a month.

Neville, an honest man, could be forced to wield a sword. It would be a pity that Malfoy would not be the master.

If it's not enough, using a big sword to show that Neville still has his hand is not good!

Thinking of this, John said calmly: "One day Neville will pull out his wand and point it at you, that will be fine."

Malfoy grimaced, not like this.

Why should everyone be isolated and face Neville directly?

That sword almost disfigured me today.

He even provoked a lot of ridicule from Pansy.

"Don't worry, you have to believe in your own strength. I think you will succeed in the next few days." John did not forget to cheer Malfoy up.

In the entire Qunxing Club, he is the only one with this ability. Who can replace him?

The Star Club is responsible for isolation, and all suppression, bullying, ridicule, etc. are left to Malfoy.

The division of labor is clear.

Cedric plunged into the water and emerged an hour later, which also meant that his head-soaking spell was successful.

Seeing this, Heinrich recalled Durmstrang's lake.

"Edgar's family all graduated from Durmstrang. My uncle is two years older than my father. My father often talks about his uncle swimming in the lake."

John could tell that Heinrich looked down upon his uncle's choice, but he didn't have much objection to his uncle's choice.

And his father and uncle have a good relationship.

John looked at the setting sun and asked, "Your father and uncle, what kind of people are they?"

Heinrich sat on the big stone, with unnoticeable nostalgia in his eyes, and said: "My uncle was born to disguise himself as an Animagus. Sometimes he would turn into the appearance of his grandfather to scare people. There are memories of him at home. The wine cellar contains many fine wines.”

"My father is the opposite of my uncle. He is like a scholar. He has never followed anyone. He likes to drink tea, except for the occasional drink."

"He was more concerned about academic research. If it weren't for Edgar, he might be very respected."

"I don't want to be a father. I want to prove to them that the light Edgar follows can bring Edgar into the light."

Two generations of Dark Lords have dragged down Edgar's reputation. They have become synonymous with madmen and dark wizards. Although they don't say it, everyone is alienated from him.

John patted Heinrich on the shoulder and said seriously: "There will be a day when you will be proud of your choice."

Heinrich's golden eyes were full of energy and enthusiasm, and he nodded vigorously.

The sun finally sets on the horizon, and the light reflected in the golden eyes disappears.

It was time for them to return to the castle.
