The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The next morning before dawn, Link was awakened by waves of greasy touches on his face.

He opened his eyes, sighed helplessly, and then pulled down Akam who was moving back and forth on his face.

"Any gains?"

Link whispered in a snake accent.

"According to your instructions, two silly Sgar dogs and I stayed near the Goblet of Fire all night." Arkham said quite dissatisfied, "We did encounter several people who sneaked out and threw them into the Goblet of Fire in the middle of the night. The guy who wrote the note, but I didn’t see the person you said wanted to do anything to the Goblet of Fire. Stop talking and let me get back in. I’m freezing to death.”

After saying that, Arkham got into Link's sleeve again.

He fell into a deep sleep wrapped around Link's arm.

It was really hard for Cam to let a cold-blooded animal stay on guard all night in the cold night.

After touching Arkham's little head, Link fell into deep thought.

According to the original book, in order to allow Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and become a ritual material for Voldemort's resurrection, Moody, disguised as Barty Jr., should secretly cast the confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire last night and help Harry register.

Although it has now been confirmed that Moody is genuine, the possibility of other moles in Hogwarts is not ruled out.

The reason why Link asked Arkham to guard the Goblet of Fire last night was because he wanted to wait and see.

It's a pity that nothing unusual happened last night.

Does this mean that I have completely overthought it?

Pettigrew, Barty Jr. and other Death Eaters didn't intend to use this Triwizard Tournament to resurrect Voldemort?

Link felt a little confused in his thoughts for a moment.

He sighed, got out of bed and started washing up.

Since today is the Goblet of Fire, even though it is Saturday, Link's roommates all got up early. After saying hello to Link, they couldn't wait to leave the dormitory without even washing up. .

Then, Cedric pushed the door open and entered.

He and Link looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on John, who was still curled up on the bed pretending to sleep.

After what happened last night, John's mood was quite unstable, so they took John back to the lounge to sleep without asking anything.

Now, it's obviously time to explore the truth.

"John, come talk to us."

Link said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, John's body trembled twice, and finally he sat up stiffly.

His eye circles were still red and swollen, his face was pale, and he said with a sad expression:

"Thank you for what happened last night."

"You know, we didn't do this just for your thank you."

Link rubbed his temples and said politely, while Cedric was more direct, sitting next to John and saying:

"What on earth caused the conflict between you two last night?"

"I..." John's mouth opened and closed slightly, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "I said, I just wanted to ask Klum for an autograph. But those Durmstrang people refused to let me, so I argued with them. After a few words, they regarded me as a troublemaker."

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that Link and Cedric would misunderstand, John lowered his head and said:

"This is actually my fault. There is no reason for a big man like Klum to sign autographs for others, otherwise he will be busy to death. Moreover, Klum was actually willing to sign for me last night. I can't blame him, it's that The guy named Karkaroff. It was the Durmstrang students he commanded who wanted to drive me away, so..."

"Are you still speaking good words for Krum now?" Cedric suddenly raised his voice and interrupted, "Those people last night were all his classmates and professors. If Krum really cares about his fans, then You should have stopped them from using violence on you from the very beginning! And what did he do? Just stood there and did nothing! Just admit it, John, that guy named Krum is a bad guy. !”

John closed his eyes in pain and said nothing.

Seeing this, Link stopped Cedric who wanted to continue talking, lightly kicked John and said:

"John, it doesn't make any sense who is right or wrong, and we don't care at all. I just want you to know that this is Hogwarts, and we are your best friends and strongest support. No matter who it is, As long as you are bullied, we will stand up for you!"

"Link..."

John said with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay, John, these are all small things." Link continued, "Including the fact that you continue to like Krum is also a small thing. If you want, we can help you get it later. I believe they will eventually You are willing to give us a face. Of course, this depends on your study attitude. If you do a mess in this year's Owl exam, then don't even think about signing or anything else."

At this time, John was crying so hard.

After a while, he calmed down slightly and said in a choked voice:

"I understand, Link, and Cedric. I understand the truth. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Hearing this, Link and Cedric finally showed smiles on their faces.

Cedric patted John hard and said:

"If you ask me, that Krum is nothing special, you might as well ask for my autograph!"

After hearing what Cedric said, John stopped crying and just looked at Cedric blankly.

Although he didn't speak, both Cedric and Link could interpret the meaning of "how virtuous and capable are you" from his eyes.

This made Cedric a little angry.

"Hey! Don't underestimate me! When I turn around and become a warrior of Hogwarts, you will know how powerful I am after I defeat Krum in the Triwizard Tournament!"

"Oh? Are you so sure you can choose?" Link smiled, "I think I should be the warrior who wins the Triwizard Tournament on behalf of Hogwarts."

"Then let's sign up together and leave the choice to the Goblet of Fire."

After saying this, Link and Cedric looked at each other with a smile.

Then they left the dormitory together and walked towards the hall.

This confused John.

He didn't understand why the two guys who were still comforting him now signed up for the Goblet of Fire together.

But after being stunned for a while, he quickly wiped away his tears and chased after her.

……

When the three arrived, the auditorium and foyer were already very, very busy.

The Goblet of Fire is in the center of the foyer, placed on the same high stool where the Sorting Hat is placed during every sorting ceremony.

A circle of thin gold lines was drawn on the floor around the stool, and the circled area was at least five or six square meters.

Outside these golden threads, there were crowds of curious students, all staring at the Goblet of Fire. Some even held up two pieces of bread in their hands, eating each bite.

Signing up under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes was obviously a stressful thing, so I didn’t even dare to go in for a while.

Cedric wouldn't care so much.

He raised an eyebrow at Link, and then walked straight towards the Goblet of Fire.

The students along the way all moved out of the way, watching Cedric excitedly. It wasn't until the note thrown by Cedric was swallowed up by the flames in the Goblet of Fire that the crowd burst into cheers.

Cedric's excellence is obvious to all, and most people at Hogwarts think he is the perfect candidate for the Warrior.

At this time, the Harry trio, whom they had not seen for a long time, came over and greeted Link with a smile.

Hermione looked very excited and tugged on Link's sleeve and said:

"Did you know, Link? People from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have just completed their registrations! There are also many people signing up for Hogwarts. Who do you think may eventually become the champion of Hogwarts?"

Before Link could speak, Ron turned his gaze to Cedric, who was still surrounded by the crowd, and said sourly:

"Oh! Of course that's Cedric the Butterboy. Look, he's really beautiful!"

As soon as he said this, several Hufflepuffs nearby cast dissatisfied looks.

This made Ron quickly shut his mouth and stop talking.

"Link, don't take it to heart, Ron is just a little angry." Harry was afraid that Link would also fall out, so he explained, "I mean, you know, there aren't many Gryffindors we know who can sign up. , so everyone is a little unhappy."

Link smiled brightly, pointed towards the auditorium and said:

"Who said there aren't any Gryffindors signed up? Aren't there two over there?"

Harry and the three of them immediately looked around, and sure enough they saw George and Fred walking towards this side arm in arm, each holding a note in their hands.

"They want to sign up too?" Ron screamed and shook his head, "This is impossible! They are still several months away from their 17th birthday!"

"Who said it's impossible?"

George and Fred leaned over with a smile, and you said to each other with a smile, "We will definitely succeed this time! We just drank that stuff!"

"What did you drink?"

Ron asked, his eyes widening.

"Aging agent!"

"That's right, we each drank a drop!"

"This will make us 17 years old!"

After saying this with a smile, George and Fred pushed through the crowd and walked towards the Goblet of Fire.

"This... can this work?"

Hermione said in a daze, the person she was asking was Link.

Hearing this, Lin nodded first, then immediately shook his head and said:

"Aging agents can indeed temporarily increase the age of the drinker physically by increasing bone age and tooth age. So in theory, George and Fred's plan should be established.

However, that was the age limit set by Dumbledore himself.I don't think a wizard like Dumbledore would leave a loophole like age-enhancing agents. "

As soon as Link finished speaking, the crowd not far away started to stir again.

When everyone heard the sound and went away, they found that George and Fred had walked through the thin golden line together and were making faces at the people around them.

This scene made Ron smile with joy, because if George and Fred could succeed, they thought they could also ignore the age limit and sign up.

He laughed twice and opened his mouth to refute Link's previous inference.

But before he could say anything, the golden age line flashed suddenly, and George and Fred were violently ejected.

Not only that, after these two people fell into trouble, a long white beard grew on their chins at an alarming rate.

For a moment, the crowd that was still cheering suddenly fell silent.

George and Fred also looked at each other, speechless.

But this situation only lasted for a moment, and George and Fred pointed at each other's white beards and laughed.

The laughter was so contagious that soon everyone else present was laughing too.

"I warned you not to be clever." Dumbledore suddenly walked out of the auditorium and said to the two of them with a smile. "I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey as soon as possible. She is already there. The same method was used to deal with Miss Fawcett who was nursing Ravenclaw and Mr. Summers who was Hufflepuff. However, it is worth mentioning that their beards are far less beautiful than yours! "

As soon as Dumbledore said this, everyone laughed even more happily.

George and Fred were not ashamed either, and went to the infirmary with smiles on their faces.

"Link, your guess is really accurate!"

Hermione stared at Link with bright eyes and said. After speaking, she glanced sideways at Ron, making Ron lower his head.

"Just ordinary reasoning."

Link smiled and shook his head.

Link felt that this was nothing to boast about.

But Hermione became even more excited. Her little hands tightly grasped Link's sleeves and shouted excitedly:

"You haven't answered me yet? Who do you think is most likely to become the Champion of Hogwarts?"

Ron, who had lowered his head in silence just now, raised his head, and Harry, who was almost exhausted from laughing, also looked over with curiosity.

Everyone is looking forward to Link's answer.

After all, in the eyes of these three people, Link is one of those rare people in this school who can truly be trusted.

But amid everyone's expectations, Link was seen smiling confidently and saying:

"Shouldn't something like this be obvious?"

As he spoke, Link took out a piece of paper with his own name from his robe pocket with his index and middle fingers.

"The champion of Hogwarts, of course, is me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Link walked toward the Goblet of Fire, swinging his robe and cloak in an arrogant manner similar to Snape's.

The students standing in front of him were still laughing about George and Fred, but in an instant, as if they sensed something, they made way for Link with horrified expressions.

Just like Cedric then, a neat path appeared in front of Link.

"Link, you..."

Just when the soles of Link's feet were about to cross the golden thread, Hermione finally reacted and spoke out to dissuade Link from his useless efforts.

But her voice was quickly stuck in her throat.

Because at this time, Link had already crossed the thin line and threw the note into the Goblet of Fire.

Huhu~

The addition of new fuel made the flames a little stronger, and it was not until the paper burned out that it finally calmed down.

And until the end, the golden thread showed no reaction.

Amid the crowd, Link raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, who had not yet left not far away.

The latter was also looking in his direction.

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth slowly rose, finally forming a smile of approval, and he nodded towards Link.
