A sharp Hogwarts

Friday's assessment is gradually approaching, and there are more and more rumors about the assessment.

Although Dalia was not too worried about the result, her mood gradually became nervous as time went by.

For some reason, the "bet" on the right to host the Triwizard Tournament has quietly leaked out - Dalia has become a betting point for Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic and other magic schools. I don't know when this news spread among the students. The news went viral, which suddenly brought extra expectations and attention to Dalia's school stay assessment.

On the other hand, the professors did not respond directly to the Triwizard Tournament, but this ambiguous attitude was already the answer to the students.

The detailed introduction of the Triwizard Tournament can be found in the library, and now everyone's attitude has changed to support Dalia.

Everyone was excited at the thought of seeing foreign wizards in the future - of course, the host was Hogwarts.

However, the senior students behaved much calmer, knowing that this might be a failure.

Dalia didn't know what other people were thinking, but now she was thinking about the actual content of the magic food.

If the "must-lose steps" given by Dumbledore to others can be completed, then Hogwarts can add a new Oriental Magic Cuisine course to the curriculum.

The assistant Quidditch referee Mrs. Hooch secured for her broadened Dalia's thinking.

If an oriental magic dish really appears by then, then maybe...

Professors are obviously much more flexible than ordinary students.

…………

Friday morning, morning, Hogwarts Great Hall.

While the students were still preparing for breakfast, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

A dozen wizards and wizards filed in from the door of the auditorium, walked straight through the auditorium and walked to the guest of honor.

"Oh, my God," Hermione turned her head and looked at the strange visitors, "Are they them? Your judges today?"

"Who else could it be? I hope they don't eat too much in the morning—"

Dalia said, poking at the bacon with her fork.

Most of the judges are old, which is not good news for her.

Fortunately, Malfoy and Dumbledore's previous intelligence was correct.

In addition to Cornelius Fudge, the Ministry of Magic was only accompanied by Ms. Amelia Bones of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

On the contrary, there were many members of the Hogwarts School Board - it was not difficult to tell, because each of them had a emblem on their chest.

Dalia noticed that Lucius Malfoy seemed to glance at her secretly, but before she could wave, he turned his head and looked away indifferently.

In the center of the crowd was a group of old male and female witches, and most of the senior students' comments fell on them.

"It's over - it's over now -"

Angelina looked at a hunchbacked witch in the crowd and said with some despair.

"Why is Professor Marchban here? If she were to serve as a judge, it would not be equivalent to direct elimination."

"Machiban? Who is she?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Gsilda Marchbain, the legendary director of the International Wizarding Examination Authority. I met her at my great-grandfather's funeral."

Wood spoke, and he quietly pointed at a little witch with a hunchback in the crowd.

"I heard she was a very strict witch, very...stern."

"Which college did she graduate from?"

Ron asked, looking fearfully at the stern, hunchbacked witch.

He noticed that everyone seemed to be crowding around the old witch, and her words clearly carried a lot of weight.

"Maybe Hufflepuff? However, some people say she is Slytherin or Ravenclaw-"

Percy continued after Wood's words. His face seemed a little blue, and no one had ever seen him so nervous.

"After all, her qualifications are too old, do you know? When Professor Dumbledore took the NEWT exam, she was the examiner of the Wizarding Examination Board. Over the years, she has rarely appeared in the public eye, but all She has the final vote in all assessments.”

Percy glanced at the little wizards around him who didn't understand, and explained with fear and a bit of longing.

"The so-called final vote means that she can directly decide whether a young wizard passes or retakes the exam."

"Strictly speaking, we should call her Professor March, because she was also one of the professors at Hogwarts back then."

"She should have been invited here by Professor Dumbledore," Neville suddenly said, "I heard my grandma say that except for Professor Dumbledore's request, Gsilda Marchbaby will hardly care about other people's opinions. , even the Ministry of Magic can’t command her.”

"Then she should be on the school's side..."

Hermione said optimistically, though she noticed that Percy didn't seem to have the same cheerful expression.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Professor Marchban and her being the examiner?"

"The problem is that she is too senior -"

Wood said in a deep voice, looking at Hermione and others with a serious face.

"Professor Marchiban's vision is too high. She was presiding over the senior wizard assessment at Hogwarts decades ago."

"Perhaps she is very fair, but Dalia's assessment is too basic - low-level content, even Merlin can't create many highlights."

"What's more serious and ominous is that Professor Marchban's evaluation will largely affect the scores of other wizards. Even though according to the rules everyone should rate at the same time, I have heard that many wizards will Choose to observe Professor Marchban’s performance first, and then consider where your own judgment range should be.”

Wood spread his hands and explained helplessly, "After all... no one wants to be too different from the mainstream, right?"

"Well, well—"

Dalia shrugged noncommittally.

She glanced at Percy who was hesitant to speak next to her, and tilted her head.

"Besides this, what other bad news is there? I see your expression as if the world is ending."

"Professor Marchiban—she's a vegetarian."

Percy took a deep breath, looked at Dalia, and whispered weakly.

"But if you choose vegetables without meat in the magic dish assessment, the other judges will definitely give you a very low score."

"Not to mention, if what Malfoy said is true, there is nothing you can do without meat-"

Dumbledore invited?

A single-ingredient meal, vegetarian?

Dalia frowned slightly and her eyes flashed.

These hints...

Dumbledore seemed to know something.

"Well, I roughly understand all of Professor Dumbledore's plans."

At this moment, Dalia suddenly nodded, stretched out her hand and patted the air next to her.

Xiao Yeqi made a comfortable hum, turned her head and licked her fingers.

"Percy, do you know the name of my little pet?"

"Huh? Judefu, what's wrong?"

Percy said confused, wondering why Dahlia suddenly said this.

In fact, most students know the name Dalia Xiaoyeqi, which is a very nice name for a girl.

"Do not--"

Dalia slowly raised her finger and corrected her seriously.

"Didn't I say it? Her name is, CHOU, DOU, FU——"

"Stinky tofu is not an ordinary, nice name. In the far east, it represents a magical dish."

"And the main ingredient of this magical dish happens to be a wonderful ingredient that can be either meat or vegetable -"

"Tofu."
