[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

The Quidditch World Cup came to an end in this way, and the following days were dull and fulfilling. When Aurora boarded the Hogwarts Express again, the new school year was about to begin.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts was still the same, and Aurora noticed that many places had been redecorated, and it seemed to be more splendid than before.Hundreds of candles were floating above the tables, and four long college tables were waiting for students from their respective colleges to be seated, and the glittering golden dishes were still empty at the moment.

After Aurora greeted Snape in the teacher's seat, she began to prepare for the show.I don't know if it was her illusion, but Aurora always felt that Dumbledore's face seemed to be a little rosier, and he looked more energetic than before.

While the sorting ceremony was going on in an orderly manner, the four colleges were discussing——

"Merlin's stockings! What happened to Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"Merlin! It's been a holiday, why does Principal Dumbledore look so much younger!"

"Principal Dumbledore must have plastic surgery!!!"

"It's impossible to make people younger after plastic surgery. If you have studied Potions well, you should know that it is the effect of age-reducing potions!"

"..."

After the sorting ceremony was finally over, Dumbledore stood up, and the white-bearded old wizard looked at everyone with a smile, opened his arms, and made a welcoming gesture, "Welcome to Hogwarts ! Now, eat!".

As Dumbledore's voice fell, the originally empty plate was filled with food in an instant, with everything that one could expect.Everyone began to bury their heads in the food in front of them, and then started whispering as the atmosphere relaxed.

After the teachers and students were full, Dumbledore stood up again, and the white-bearded old wizard scanned the audience with a smile, and then the buzzing voice in the hall gradually stopped, and everyone, including the first-year students, They set their sights on their principal.

Perhaps it was Dumbledore's new image that made the old Hogwarts students too curious. Under the staring eyes of everyone, Dumbledore, who was about to speak, paused under the scorching gaze, "Since you all eat If you are full, you must have the energy to listen to my announcements."

Dumbledore used a loud voice for himself to ensure that his voice could be smoothly transmitted to every corner of the auditorium, "I must tell you with great regret that there will be no College Cup Quidditch tournament this year, because Starting in October, a year-long three-school league will be held at Hogwarts. At that time, students from two other schools of magic and magic will come to participate. This will be the most important event for Hogwarts this year activity, I hope..."

The weather for this year's freshmen is very bad, and the deafening Thor can be heard from time to time when dining in the auditorium.Before Dumbledore finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who came from outside the castle in the rain and suddenly opened the door.

Aurora looked up and saw a man standing at the door, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black traveling cloak.Everyone in the auditorium also turned their heads to look at the stranger, "click" a bright lightning flashed through the entire auditorium with loud thunder, and the light of the lightning hit the man's face, illuminating his face That obvious scary scar, and that kind of scary fake eye.

Everyone seemed intimidated by the man's appearance, because when Dumbledore announced that Moody was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, not many people applauded, and even most of the professors in the teacher's seat were silent.

"Following what I said before," Dumbledore drew everyone's attention from Moody to him, "The principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive in October with the contestants they have selected. In our school, the selection contest for players from the three schools will be held on Halloween. At that time, an impartial referee will decide which one is most qualified to win the competition trophy. Of course, this is not only the glory of the school, the champion will have a Reward from the daughter Galleon!"

If it was said that the suspension of the College Cup Quidditch match only aroused a lot of discussion among the students, and many Quidditch fans protested, then when the students were full of fighting spirit and prepared to win the one thousand gold galleon and the championship, Dumbledore Let their fledgling flames be snuffed out with a bang, "Quiet! While I know you all want to win competition trophies for Hogwarts, only students who have reached the age - that is, 17 or 17 Only those who are above the age of [-] are allowed to sign up for the election.”

Dumbledore's words exploded among the students like a thunderbolt. All the lower grade students were full of disbelief, especially the Weasley twins. All the Gryffindor table students seemed to have been stolen The dessert in front of him was so angry, but the Slytherins who had heard some inside stories from the elders at home did not react, they just raised their eyebrows, waiting for Dumbledore's next words with undiminished interest.

"This is an extremely dangerous competition. We think that students below the sixth and seventh grades are unlikely to be able to cope with it. The principals of the three magic schools, including me, will personally participate. I will guarantee that none of them are underage." of students fooled our impartial judges into becoming Hogwarts champions."

Dumbledore looked at the group of excited children in the auditorium with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but smile as if he had succeeded in playing a prank, "Of course, there may be some younger students with good strength and self-confidence who want to participate, I promise As long as you have enough ability to pass the small checkpoints set by the principals of the three magic schools, including me, then you can also sign up for the election."

Next, Dumbledore explained the Triwizard Tournament system. Aurora knew the specific content in advance, so she didn't listen to it anymore. Instead, she used the sound transmission ring to pull Elvira and Draco who also knew the inside story. , Sylvia and Christie were chatting.

Aurora: [So do you want to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament in October? 】

Christie's voice was super excited: [I, I, I! 】

On the contrary, Sylvia was indifferent: [I will participate, and then see if I can pass the small test that Principal Dumbledore said. 】

Draco glanced at Dumbledore who was explaining to everyone that the individual battle was changed to a team competition, and his exquisite face showed a regretful expression: [I also want to participate, although the competition system has been changed this time, but from the previous Triwizard Tournament According to the data, the casualty rate is too high, and my parents do not agree with my participation. 】

Elvira comforted Draco beside her: [Don't be sad, Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa are also worried about your comfort. 】

Aurora rubbed her chin: [Draco, if you say that, I speculate that there are not many Slytherins who signed up for the election. Although winning the championship can bring glory to the family, after all, most of them are heirs of the family. Safety is very important. 】

Christie sneered and said: [It sounds like you can sign up, but don't forget that your brother won't let you participate! 】

【Ah! 】Aurora raised her eyebrows viciously at Christie, who turned her head to look at her at the Gryffindor long table, 【Then I don't think I need to study the levels that the three principals might arrange, do I?After all, I can't sign up. 】

Christie was silent for a moment, and immediately confessed, 【No, I believe my dear, you won't let Sylvia and I fight alone. 】

Sylvia gave a "tsk" in her heart, 【You offended Aurora, don't try to drag me into the water. 】

Elvira laughed and said, 【Christie, are you opportunistic?Didn't Dumbledore say that he should sign up based on his own ability? 】

Christie's voice was confident: [Why is it opportunistic?Luck is a part of strength, and the friends I make who can help me are of course also part of my strength! 】

Aurora didn't know whether to laugh or cry, 【Where did you hear such nonsense theories. 】

【what!There is nothing wrong with what I said! 】Aurora looked at Christie, who forked a piece of cake and ate it, with a very proud expression, 【Isn't it my ability to be your friend?Others who have the ability to submit one too! 】

Snape: [Aurora, stay away from Moody in the future. 】

Moody?Snape's sudden message made Aurora involuntarily look at him in the teacher's seat. He was eating the food on the dinner plate calmly, and there was no abnormality.Aurora looked at Moody, who was also in the teacher's seat, and found something wrong at a glance.

Aurora withdrew her eyes, 【Severus, he has a problem. 】

Aurora's words were declarative sentences. Knowing that she understood what he meant, Snape, who was preoccupied, let go of his worries about her, 【You just need to be prepared when you know.By the way, tell your troll friends from other colleges not to jump around casually during this time. 】

The second half of Snape's sentence made Aurora laugh outright, and she didn't refute his concern that he didn't mean it, [Don't worry, since we know what's wrong with Moody, we will be on our guard against him. 】

[Be careful with this 'Moody'. ] Aurora told the news to several other people, 【He should have been transformed by drinking Polyjuice Potion, I don’t see anything decent about him. 】

Sylvia: [You mean he was transformed from a Death Eater? 】

Aurora: [Yes.Headmaster Dumbledore and Severus probably won't make a fuss, let's stay away from him, as long as he doesn't trouble us, we don't know. 】

Christie: 【OKOK. 】

Elvira: [Christie, I think your words are super perfunctory? 】

Christie: 【Since he is a Death Eater, I think he will definitely make trouble for Gryffindor. As long as he dares to make trouble, then don't blame me for making trouble! 】

Aurora: [Regardless of which academy, we must be careful. 】Aurora paused, 【Avella, Draco, both of you have brought the protective props given by your family and us. 】

What Aurora didn't say was that she felt that Gryffindor wasn't the only house that 'Moody' wanted trouble with.Aurora observed Moody's behavior on the teacher's bench, the malice in his casual eyes was not only aimed at Gryffindor, but also Slytherin...
