【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magical events. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is an opportunity for young wizards from different countries to establish friendship. A great way to do that.”

Dumbledore explained the rules and origins of the Triwizard Tournament to the students

This made everyone even more excited, and the quiet scene caused by Moody just now was swept away.

Seeing the students so happy, Dumbledore had to remind everyone: "But I still have to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament is dangerous to a certain extent. It was once banned because of too many deaths during the game."

Unfortunately, few people were frightened by this sentence. Everyone didn't care about the people who died 100 years ago. They just whispered to each other and wanted to hear more specific things about the Triwizard Cup.

Esther looked at Cedric and then at Moody at the teacher's desk, her eyes cold.

She knew that this Moody was Barty Crouch Jr. disguised as a qualified Death Eater. He was much more troublesome than the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in previous years.

Esther silently thought about her next plan. The first step was to throw out some doubts about Moody. As long as she could lead Professor Snape to discover that the potion materials she had few this semester were the raw materials for making polyjuice potion. , is already half the battle, and then find an opportunity to make Cedric withdraw from the game before the final game begins.

If that doesn't work, you can also start with Harry. After all, it was Harry who suggested that Cedric lift the trophy with him, but the trophy that had been replaced long ago was teleported to Voldemort, causing Cedric's death.

Since Harry believed she could do divination, why not try to fool him?

Esther was a little undecided and finally decided to do both.

This semester she is more cautious than the last semester. Barty Crouch Jr. was an academic master when he was a student at Hogwarts, and his strength and IQ cannot be underestimated. And being able to successfully play a majestic teacher under Dumbledore's nose for a year without being discovered is enough to show that he has a strong mind.

The most important thing is that he is ruthless and has no mercy on his biological father, let alone others.

Esther was a little afraid that she would be spotted by him if she stood out too much. If he tried to use Legilimency, her secret would be exposed and she would definitely be doomed.

There are many masters of Legilimency in the school, such as Professor Snape, but Esther is very relaxed in front of him. She believes that Professor Snape will never take Legilimency of a student's brain at will, even if He didn't like this student very much.

However, this is not necessarily the case for Death Eaters.

However, Legilimency is not silent. Since little Barty wants to act as a good teacher honestly, he will not do such extra little tricks.

The premise is that Esther must disguise herself well.

He cannot be allowed to find out that he knows the direction of the subsequent plot.

"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead the competitors from their schools, and the ceremony to select the champions will be held on Halloween. The winners will not only win honors for their schools, but also personally. A thousand galleons bonus.”

Dumbledore was still talking.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's interest was aroused even more.

Esther heard the Weasley twins shout, "I want to join!"

There are many students who are as excited as them.

"I know everyone is eager to participate in the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said, "But for safety reasons, we and the Ministry of Magic have decided that only students over 17 years old can participate."

Dumbledore couldn't help but raise his voice slightly at the end, because many students made dissatisfied sounds.

It’s just that there’s no point in students objecting to something that has already been decided.

Everyone was still talking as they walked back to their respective lounges.

Hufflepuff students do not have much objection to the fact that they must be 17 years old or older to participate in the competition. After all, if they were really allowed to sign up, many of them would not sign up.

When I got up the next morning, the rain that had been falling all day had stopped, but the weather outside was still gloomy.

During the morning meal, a large number of owls flew to the auditorium to deliver gifts to various students.

These are things and letters given to their children by the parents of the students. In previous years, Harry could only watch other students receiving gifts with envy. This year, he reunited with Sirius, so he also received a letter from Sirius.

This made him very happy. Even if Professor Sprout asked them to squeeze the pus from the Bobo tuber in the first lesson, Harry was still very happy.

One is happy and one is sad.

Esther's first class of school was Potions. She was still the one being targeted this school year, so she couldn't be happy no matter what.

School life continued in an orderly manner, and Esther did not have much contact with Moody in the past few days.

However, after Ernie took the Care of Magical Creatures class, he kept complaining to Esther because Hagrid hatched a new creature called a blast-tailed snail. Considering that Esther was very afraid of this creature, Ernie Ni didn't describe it too carefully. In short, it is a very disgusting creature and their task is to take good care of them.

Ernie wasn't the only one who had a problem with the Blast-Ended Skrewt; every fourth grader in the class had a problem with it.

Esther was once again lucky that she had not chosen Care of Magical Creatures.

She has already taken an arithmetic divination class. Different from the divination classes like reading crystals, tea leaves, and palmistry, arithmetic divination is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations.

Esther found it a bit difficult to understand, but still interesting.

Anyway, although it is related to numbers, it is much simpler and more interesting than mathematics.

Hermione was very happy after learning that Esther also chose Arithmancy. Among all the electives, her favorite was Arithmancy.

Life at school is simple and peaceful, but outside school it is not so peaceful.

Ever since the Quidditch World Cup, the Ministry of Magic has been in chaos.

The Daily Prophet has been continuously reporting on various things, and there is also an unscrupulous reporter named Rita Skeeter who is fanning the flames and disturbing everyone's minds.

"Look! Weasley, your dad is in the newspaper!"

During breakfast time one day, Draco waved the newspaper and said loudly to Harry and his group who had just come in.

His extremely proud look made Ron furious.
