Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

On their way back to school, Durmstrang's delegation was also walking from the lake towards the castle.

The backs of Harry, Hermione and Ron looked particularly small among a group of tall Durmstrang students, but their red hoods were particularly conspicuous among the plush coats.

"Clonia!" The boy's excited voice came from the end, causing the students in front to keep turning around. Claudia even saw the principal of Durmstrang, who looked difficult to get along with, frowning and looking over.

Clooney had no choice but to wave to where Lorenz was happily pulling a few unknown students to say hello to her.

"See you later!" After receiving a glare from his principal, Lorenz lowered his voice and gestured with his mouth. Fortunately, the sentence structure was not complicated, and Claudia understood it.

"You've made a new friend again." Cedric sounded a little helpless, "You're really as fast as Slytherin."

"We ate together after all, sir." Claudia shrugged, "That's Lorenz Metternich from Durmstrang. I'm very interested in their research on black magic."

After Lorenz yelled like this, most of the students looked in this direction. This reserved, fox-like boy would never do anything so eye-catching, and it made Claudia feel like her face was burning.

Even Victor Krom, who was walking at the front, had to look back.

Claudia pulled Cedric's sleeve and asked him to lower the umbrella. The umbrella was facing the direction of the students, trying to block the sight from all directions.

"I can't tell he had such a personality before!" Claudia felt uncomfortable being stared at by people - not to mention that this was not a good thing.

Cedric laughed gleefully.

When they entered the auditorium, it was already full of people. They are already the last batch. The Goblet of Fire was moved and placed in front of Dumbledore's empty stool. Seeing her come in, Fred and George began to wink, completely losing their senile look that people said.

Parting with Cedric at the door of the auditorium.

"So, you signed up, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let's see who can succeed."

"I want to know too." Claudia responded to him in a low voice, "Besides, maybe it's someone else?"

The Halloween dinner started quickly. Claudia sat back down at the Slytherin table.

"So, why were you so loud just now? Lorenz?" Mr. Lorenz had already prepared himself properly, imitating an ostrich and hiding in his thick feathers as usual. There was nothing good-tempered in the girl's words.

"I just want to help you build momentum first." Lawrence returned to his soft-spoken self. It was hard to imagine that the strong voice by the river was his.

"That's not a good idea."

"Okay." Lorenz shrugged, "I apologize, miss, I'm just being vanity--I want people to know that I have made such a great friend."

Rudolf arrived late, covered in heavy moisture. He shook his fur coat like a maned wolf. Then he waved the wand over his shoulder, and the water droplets finally disappeared.

Then, a hot palm slapped Lorenz on the back of the head viciously, making an ethereal sound.

"I heard, miss." Rudolf apologized, "He is a bad person. I'm sorry that this happened while I was away."

"I went to see Pegasus for a while." He looked over with burning eyes and explained quickly, "We have never seen such a giant one there..."

...

The dinner party became heated, and Erwin had to squeeze in next to Helles because his seat was taken, which made him look uncomfortable.

"Stop twisting." The golden python gave an order, causing him to return to his original posture of sitting upright.

Claudia was obsessed with thinking about Snape: If it was something like that in the past, for example, what annoying means did Voldemort use to hide in Hogwarts - why did he always like to use dirty tricks? means?

To find out if there is a familiar character sneaking into Hogwarts, with a simple yet complex magic. No one in the British wizarding world can escape this spell unless they have rights from a foreign land.

Crowney thought she might go back and look at an improved version of the Marauder's Map.

She was sure it wasn't Voldemort himself this time - if it had been, she would have been alerted long ago.

What could threaten Severus Snape if not Voldemort himself? A Potions Master, Head of Slytherin, and an adult wizard close to the greatest wizard, Dumbledore.

Clonia thought as she prepared to take out the last two spoonfuls of caramel pudding with her spoon, but it missed the point and made a crisp sound when it hit the golden plate.

The plate returned to a spotless state, and she suddenly put the spoon down and disappeared soon after.

"It's about to begin." Helles noticed that the person next to him was in a disoriented state, "What are you thinking about?"

"..."

"Maybe I was wondering for a moment who deserves the honor."

"Besides you, who else has this qualification?" Helles wiped his already clean delicate hands slowly, preparing to put the white lace-edged gloves back on.

"How can you be so confident in me..."

Dumbledore stood up and the students stopped all conversation. Claudia followed everyone's gaze and looked at Dumbledore. Rarely, he showed a relatively happy smile. The originally complicated thoughts were dispersed by his smile, and Claudia felt that her mood had reached a higher level.

"Please pay attention, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision!" Dumbledore stood on the high platform, with all the students looking up at him below. His voice was loud, probably with the Loudness Charm added to it. Claudia still unconsciously turned her gaze away from that eye-catching figure.

Snape sat nearby, looking very attentive. His mood looked as bad as ever, and his brows knit together naturally - he always had a bad look on his face. It seemed that being assigned to sit with outside teachers made him even more dissatisfied.

"..." Claudia didn't hear what Dumbledore said after that. When she came to her senses, the auditorium became dark as if the circuit breaker had tripped.

She was startled.

"what's the situation?"

"Anyway, it's time to start." Emilia replied, "That's probably what I mean."

The lights were too dim. Only the pumpkin lantern gave off a long glow, but it was not enough to illuminate the entire auditorium. People were quiet and finally had a Halloween atmosphere.

The light of the Goblet of Fire became dazzling in the dark environment.

It began to beat, rising continuously, and then in an instant, it turned into a hot red, and crackling sparks burst out, but fortunately they did not burn the surrounding tablecloth.

Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out of it.

Claudia thinks this scene happened at some point. She had an ominous premonition.

"The Champion of Durmstrang," Dumbledore's voice was still clear in the darkness, "is Victor Krum!"

The sound in the auditorium was deafening.

Victor Krum walked out from the seat closest to the teachers' table, looking listless.

"We have guessed this a long time ago!" Lorenz quietly revealed the information about their school while applauding the audience. "Krum was tired of this scene and sat in front early to wait."

The robe disappeared into the room on the right, and Karkaroff's roar spread throughout the entire auditorium through all the cheers and applause: "Awesome, Victor! I knew you were the destined warrior!"
