The happiness of HP

Chapter 297 Extra Story: International Magic Teaching Competition (51)

At night, the auditorium of Hogwarts is brightly lit, and the magic ceiling shows snowflakes falling slowly, as if it were a real snow scene, but the snowflakes only disappear in mid-air. Of course, this is just an illusion caused by magic, but it is realistic Be like a real image.However, if it is a real performance, then the snowflakes never hit the ground, where did they go?Ah, of course, we can also say that tonight, the heat in the auditorium is enough to sublimate the snowflakes!

It was Saturday, so the dinner was specially brought forward to 5 o'clock. The weather was not good, and it was already winter, so it got dark early.After the students finished their dinner at the long table, the prefects and the male and female student union chairmen organized the students to be taken out of the auditorium and waited for a while.

When the door of the auditorium was opened again, the students found that the space of the auditorium had been enlarged by half, and the four familiar long tables had disappeared, replaced by rows of gorgeous and comfortable high-back chairs, each with a A table, like a theater.There is a very large site vacated at the front, and that is today's stage.The judges and guests were already seated near the stage.

"Students, please quickly find your seats and take your seats." On the stage, as the host, Roger.Davis said.

The students immediately started looking for seats according to the numbers they drew while waiting outside the door. There was some confusion in the scene, but under the organization of the prefects and the student union, the students quickly found their seats.It took a quarter of an hour for everyone to find their seats. After they were seated, the students in the back row were about to complain about how they could see clearly, when they found that the chairs and tables had been lifted up, and the rows of seats were placed on the ground. It has really become a theater-like staircase.

"Students in the middle and back rows, have you seen the potion bottle on the table in front of you now?" Roger said. At this time, the students from the 4th row onwards all found that a small crystal appeared in front of them at some point. Bottle, "That's Eagle Eye Drops, everyone open it and drink it, then you can enjoy tonight's performance perfectly."

So, the students all opened the potion and smelled an unpleasant burning smell, and they poured it into their mouths heroically.Sure enough, as they expected, the potion was bitter and spicy. After drinking it, they were so choked that they burst into tears, and they all became tears.However, after the tears were shed, they found that the expression of Mr. Davis on the front stage was so clear, as if he was standing in front of them. -- It was an interesting experience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the first round of the teaching competition. Let me first introduce the members of the professional referee team—our Hogwarts headmaster, Mr. Severus Slytherin Snape..."

Severus stood up, turned around and nodded to the students with a blank expression, everyone could see that he didn't seem to be in high spirits.And it was true, he was a little unhappy about tonight's seating arrangement that Harry couldn't sit with him.The students applauded respectfully, and Severus took his seat again.Watching him sit down again, no one noticed that Harry, who was sitting in the guest seat, felt a little helpless. You know, his mind is full of resentment from Mr. Principal for not being able to sit with his partner.

"Our Durmstrang principal, Mr. Jefferson..." Roger said after Severus sat down, the fat man stood up and waved to the students, and there was another burst of applause.

……

"Our British Minister of Magic, Ms. Granger..." After introducing the six principals, Roger began to introduce the other three members of the referee team.

In addition to the six headmasters, there are three members, Hermione, Inarius, and Baikal, who represent the political, media, and academic circles respectively.Such an arrangement can be described as serious.

"Each member of the referee team has 12 votes for the professor's presentation on the stage, that is to say, the highest score given by the referee team is 108 votes. In addition to students, each of you has 1 vote in your hand. Please enter Vote within 3 minutes after each professor's performance. If you like this professor's performance, please raise your magic wand and point to the stage. Dear students, please use your voting rights reasonably, for your likes Please remember that the 492 votes you have are the key to deciding whether the professors will stay. Of course, students, you don’t have to have any psychological burden for you to vote without names. Okay, so everyone The total number of votes for the professor is 600. Students and referees, are you ready? Their fate is in your hands!" Mr. Davis said very emotionally.

This drew cheers and responses from the audience. Davis smiled and waited until the cheers on the field died down before continuing: "Then, please come up and draw lots to decide the order in which the professors will appear in the first round." Several masters of ceremonies invited by the Ministry of Magic came up with a lottery box.

The six principals went up one by one and took out a small ball from the box. After opening it, each took out a parchment note.When seeing the numbers on the note, some professors were happy and some were worried.Severus didn't know whether it was good or bad luck, he got the sixth player in the first round.

Harry did not bring the two children, Adina and Asteria, out today. He deliberately sent the two children to Youtian Manor, where there are golems to take care of them and a high-strength ancient formation to protect them. , reassuring both Harry and Severus.And Ares was sitting in the guest seat with Harry. He looked at the old brother Draco who was sitting next to his father, and then at the aunt sitting next to him who was looking at him with a strange look. Drilled into Dad's arms.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

Ares took his father's hand, and made two gestures on the palm of his hand. Harry was stunned for a moment, and understood what Ares wanted - to use mind reading.Harry naturally knew that his youngest son looked a little childish on weekdays, but in fact he understood everything he should understand.He immediately used the mind reading technique, and then sighed a little dumbfounded: This kid is really a big kid.

【Father, that aunt's eyes are so strange.Did Ari meet a strange aunt? 】

——This is what Ares thinks in his heart.

【Harry, you'd better give Ari to Draco when you assist the performance later, tell Draco, just say what I said, if there is anything wrong with Ari, he should take care of his health. 】What Harry read, naturally Severus also received it immediately. He knew that the lady sitting next to Harry was Emaria, the current head of Prince's subsidiary family, the Lancome family.plum.Mrs. Lancome, she became the head of the family after her husband passed away. After becoming a widow, a lady can stand up to all opinions and take on the burden of her husband's family under the circumstances that the sidelines are staring at her. Such a strong woman is It is absolutely impossible to show such eyes to a child for no reason.

[No, I can just use a mind reading technique. 】Harry said, and after a while, his face turned black—how dare he make such an idea.

[Look, what I said, I really don't know what to do! ] Severus was already a little angry.

It turned out that someone in Prince's camp proposed the next Patriarch Terry.Prince is too weak no matter how they look at it, so they will never agree with Terry taking over the position of Patriarch. They hope that someone will come forward to negotiate with Severus to see if it is possible for him and Potter's children to inherit Pu Rings.And these people are self-aware, they all shirk each other, and dare not come face to face with the Slytherin and Potter masters to discuss, so some people consider planning an accident, tricking their children into eating food mixed with loyalty potion, so that The child himself asked to inherit the Prince family.In this way, even if the masters of Slytherin and Potter who love children do not want to, I am afraid they will take the initiative to fight for the children.That's the fight between the Slytherins and the Princes, and there's nothing wrong with them.

【Hmph, the face is really big, and the hands are too long. 】Harry snorted coldly.

So, Lee.Mrs. Lancomes was here on the outpost.Some of them also have children or relatives studying at Hogwarts, so they know some information about the Slytherin and Potter masters.So according to their analysis, Apollo and Artemis will not move, nor have the ability to move.So, they set their minds on the three children Ares, Adina and Astria.Therefore, this lady came to visit the three children tonight, but Harry only brought Ares.

[Loyalty potion?How dare you think about it! 】Severus was very angry. Originally, he and Harry planned to let the Prince family go. After all, Severus is now the head of the Slytherin family, and his family background is extremely prominent. He has already beaten the Prince family severely. Face, that's all.If both of them felt that it was unnecessary, they should not care about Prince, and it would be considered as a face for Snake.But they never thought that they would dare to do such a small trick.

[Okay, Sev, Attura's performance is almost over, let's put this matter aside for now, and we'll talk about it later when we go back.Remember, don't bring your emotions into your work. 】Harry is also in a bad mood, he is the father of the child, how could he be in a good mood after knowing such a conspiracy against his own child?

【Ari seems to be very sensitive to other people's emotions, which is like you. 】Severus proudly said, 【Merlin, it's a waste of life to dare to perform such a show...】

Listening to Severus' complaints speechlessly, Harry could only reassure her husband and warn him not to give any player a score below 6.To be honest, he also felt that Artura's recitation performance was too old-fashioned and uninspiring, and the old man's voice was not suitable for recitation at all.It can be said that Harry, who was used to Severus' voice, disliked other people's voices.But anyway, Hogwarts is the host, so we can't let Severus not give a vote, right?Then people can't say that Hogwarts is stingy?

Severus also knew this, so even though he was dissatisfied, he gave Professor Artura a decent score of 6 after the performance, which made the other judges feel incredible.But soon, everyone discovered that Severus seemed to be competing with 6 points, and he gave 6 points for several programs in a row.

Professor Attura of the Mayan School of Magic performed a poem recitation, and the final score was 130 votes. This figure was far less than half, and it was obtained when the referee panel gave a total of 70 votes.This made the good-faced Professor X turn pale with anger, and walked away without grace.

"Hey, why is this old guy like this?" Draco couldn't help but feel that the old master of spells was a little impulsive when he heard the booing voice. Even if his grades were not good, he shouldn't act like this. You have to keep your style.

Harry smiled without saying a word, but hugged the youngest son tightly in his arms, using his body as much as possible to block the gaze from Mrs. Lancome's scrutiny from the other side.However, he was not at all surprised by Professor Attura's style.He has come into contact with this master several times at the annual meeting of the Charms Society in the past few years, but since the first contact, he has kept a respectful distance from this master, because he found that Master Attura is a bit self-important, This is not a problem at all, after all, Severus, Longman and others are quite proud.But what really troubled him was that this gentleman had high-mindedness and low-handedness.This person has always felt that he is one of the old spell masters, so he has a lot of airs in the Charm Society.

The second one was Professor Brown from the Akzaan School of Magic. His program was to give birth to flower demons. The students were very excited to see the lovely flower demons transforming from the flowers in Professor Brown's hands one by one. Especially the girls.In the end, the flower demons danced all over the venue. Professor Brown said on the stage that these flower demons can exist for seven days, and now they can choose who to follow.As a result, many girls received a flower demon. These flower demons exude the fragrance of flowers, and girls like them very much.A flower demon also flew to Ares to seek shelter. Ares glanced at the flower demon, and then at Harry.

"Hold out if you like it," said Harry.

"No, it can only live for seven days, it's too pitiful." Ares looked at the little Ou heather flower demon, "If Ari takes it in, he must witness its disappearance, Ari doesn't want it!"

"If you like it, you can give it some magic power, and it won't disappear. Besides, this is Briar, which symbolizes courage. It likes you because you are a brave child." Harry said with a smile.

Ares was a little moved when he heard this, but he still didn't reach out.The flower demon flew away disappointed.Harry was a little surprised, so he asked, "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

"No, it's quite cute, but I don't think my father will be happy that there is a flower demon conjured by someone else around me." The boy had an expression of "my father is such a petty person, it really gives me a headache", This made Draco deeply feel that the children of the godfather's family are evildoers, while Mrs. Lancome felt a strange chill pervading from the depths of her heart, "Oh, Dad, you must tell Dad that I will take care of him. Feelings, and gave up the flower demon that I like very, very, very very much."

"So, Ari wants the flower demon born by his father, right?" Harry asked with a smile.

"Well, it doesn't have to be Ou Heather." Although Ares thinks Ou Heather is very good, he instinctively thinks that his father should not like this kind of flower very much.

"Little ghost," Harry said, bowing his head and kissing his son's head affectionately, "then, you can discuss this with your father later."

And although Severus sitting in the front only gave Professor Brown 6 points, his aura was not as cold as before, which made Inarius who was sitting next to him amazed, saying: " If it's really an accident, what's the good thing?" In recent years, although Inarius has been busy with work, he has not broken the relationship with his old friends. He had already discovered it when he was a guest at a friend's house, and whenever Severus lost his temper, it must be because his family had done something that he felt cherished.

"Ari rejected a flower demon, the little guy said, he wants the flower demon that I spawned, not someone else's." Severus lowered his voice, with a happy expression, "What kind of flower demon do you think he will like?" Woolen cloth?"

That's enough, a silly father's face, but he can still act so serious.However, although Inarius complained, he was so happy that his friend finally found a happy home. He watched Severus lose Lily.Evans'.Although he always felt that the Gryffindor girl was not suitable for Severus, the state of his friend at that time was really disturbing, and then he watched him act as a double agent... until the day he was called to do it Witnesses.Harry is a man full of miracles, and it is really good news that he can save Severus.

"Anyway, you have the least lack of magic power, so make more. If you want to benefit your children, I recommend the black knight, which is one of the important ingredients of soul medicine, and you should know it better than me." Inarius said.

"Well, forget-me-nots can give birth to a few too. It just so happens that Harry just gave me a bouquet of jewels..." Severus would overpay his children as long as they weren't too demanding, which often made him Harry felt helpless.

Sitting on the other side of Severus was Headmaster Jefferson, who really envied the family life of two talented colleagues, Jerome and Severus.However, he can only say, who made it impossible for him to meet?

While Inarius and Severus were whispering about the Flower Fairy, Professor Brown's score came out.Up to 513 votes, such a score, let everyone applaud.At the guest table, many guests were a little surprised by this score. After all, Professor Attura's score was only 130 votes just now.Draco was also surprised, but then suddenly realized after Harry's words: "After all, I gave away so many flower demons, so it's strange not to have this score."

Harry and Draco are both heads of ancient and powerful aristocratic families, so no one would intervene regardless of their identities when they were talking, even Lee who was sitting next to Harry.Mrs. Lancomes.Even if she wanted to talk to Harry so much that she would have access to the kid.But Harry was silent most of the time, and Draco and Draco only had a word or two occasionally, and more often they were talking to the child in his arms or playing simple clapping games together.It seemed a bit abrupt to speak hastily, and her identity might be acceptable in front of those small families, but it was not enough in front of the Malfoy family and the Potter family.After all, the Lancome family is only a subsidiary family of the Prince family, and the Prince family could only stand shoulder to shoulder with the Malfoy family a hundred years ago. thought about it.How does this make her interrupt?Besides, the head of the Potter family heard that even the heir of the Cruther family was not spared. That child is the deputy director of the Auror Division in the Ministry of Magic. He just mentioned to the Minister of Magic that the Slytherin patriarch should approach Ms. America. He was severely injured by the master of the Potter family in the Auror instruction class, and he lay down in St. Mungo's for a long time, plus the damn Vicky deliberately neglected... However, the Vic family has always been the loyal lackeys of the Potter family, and they will do this Not surprising at all.

Afterwards, the exotic Middle Eastern dance brought by Professor Hazim from the Watt-Plant School of Magic and Magic, who is usually very tightly wrapped, feasted the eyes of the students.However, Severus still only gave 6 points, which made the members of the referee feel helpless.Everyone is guessing, is it possible for Severus to give a higher score to the two professors at Hogwarts?

Professor Hazim's dance performance received a score of 467 votes.Then there was Professor Loew of Durmstrang, who performed a little allegorical melodrama with the usual magic, and got 436 votes.Professor Martinez of Beauxbatons performed music, he played the guitar, and the final score was 378 votes.

The last one to play in the first half was Luna from Hogwarts.Professor Lovegood, she has always been nicknamed "Crazy Girl". This time, other professors at Hogwarts were a little worried that this professor would come up with a program that did not meet the public's aesthetics.However, it turned out that the professor, although a bit strange in normal times, was reliable at critical moments.She performed a bubble dance, which was very unique. The bubbles were blown into different shapes by her with a straw, and then formed a wonderful scene under the light effect of the scene, full of imagination.This program allowed the jury to give a high score of 97 votes, and for the first time, Severus gave a score that was not 6 points - 7 points.And this program is indeed not easy, and 7 points is already the lowest score of the jury. After that, the students gave 413 votes, and Luna's total score was 510 votes, narrowly losing to Akzaan's Professor Brown.

At the end of the half-time performance, Roger said with a smile: "Do you think the performance of the professors just made you feel refreshed?"

The students below all expressed their enthusiasm excitedly. Roger smiled and said a few witty lines, which made everyone laugh.Then he continued: "Then, next, let's take a look at the current rankings. Akzaan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ranked first with 513 votes this round; Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ranked second with 510 votes." ; Watt-Plant School of Magic and Magic ranked third with 467 votes; Durmstrang School of Magic and Magic ranked fourth with 436 votes; Beauxbaton School of Magic and Magic ranked fifth with 378 votes; and finally Maya School of Magic and Magic." Not to mention the embarrassing score of the Maya School of Magic that was far below the average, which made Headmaster Yier Ketel feel better.

"Then, the order of appearances in the second round is the reverse order of this result, so the next one to appear is the little Professor Ie Cotel from the Maya School of Magic, please!"

The little Io Cotter performed a wild Mayan indigenous dance, which surprised everyone. After all, the little Io Cottle looked very demure, and he could dance in such a wild way.In the end, he got a high score of 524. However, everyone already felt that when Professor Attura only scored 170 points, no matter how good the performance of the little Iah Cotter was, I am afraid that the Maya School of Magic would be difficult to get rid of the fate of being at the bottom. , unless someone is acting out of order.

Next was Professor Delacour from the Beauxbaton School of Magic. As we all know, this professor has Veela blood, so he just smiled on stage, which caused many people present to scream and go crazy.He performed a hand shadow mime, a very interesting shadow show.With Professor Delacour's personal charm and novel hand shadow performance, his final score was a high score of 560.

The appearance of Krum brought the atmosphere to a climax. Although he is a professor of transfiguration in Durmstrang, he still represents Bulgaria in the Quidditch World Cup in recent years, and his career as a seeker is still brilliant. .So there are many fans of him among the students.Krum performed a set of boxing techniques that he had learned on purpose. Although it looked a bit ordinary to Harry, in today's schedule, this kind of performance was really something new.

Sure enough, Krum's score hit a new record - 585 points. Although there were many off-court factors in this score, this did not hinder Krum's good mood.He happily thanked the students and the jury.

The next one is Professor Ali from Watt-Plant School of Magic. He unexpectedly performed a three-dimensional sand painting, which is very artistic and Arabic, which made most of the students present, including most of the guests, feel very magical.However, the only flaw is that when the three-dimensional sand paintings spread out, Professor X didn't control them well, causing the sand to fly everywhere at once. Many students were disgraced and even ate a mouthful of sand.It took a long time of panicked screaming and ordering before order was restored.

Before Professor Ali lost control of the sand, Harry sensed that his control was a little flawed, and sooner or later there would be problems, so he used magic to create a transparent magic barrier around the seats of himself and Draco.The two of them and Ares were the only three in the guest table that were not harmed by the sand.And Lee.Mrs. Lancome was a bit miserable. Harry deliberately used the sand to make her suffer a little. Therefore, the sand made a few bloodstains on her delicately maintained face. Because it was shocking to look at, she went to Mrs. Crabbe was so frightened that she took her to the medical wing, and Harry said very gentlemanly that Mrs. Pomfrey would treat her well.So under the persuasion of Harry and Mrs. Crabbe, Lee.Mrs. Lancome was reluctantly taken to the hospital wing by Mrs. Crabbe.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Draco knew that Harry's treatment level was much higher than Madam Pomfrey's, so he didn't mention a word, and only sent people to the medical wing.Draco, who had been in contact with Harry for a long time, immediately guessed that there must be something tricky, otherwise, for a spell, Harry would still send him to the medical wing?

"Draco, give me a hug for Ares, I have something to do. Ah, yes, Sev asked me to remind you that if there is anything wrong with Ares, you are the only one to ask." Harry said with a smile , and stuffed the little boy into Draco's arms.

"Hey, Scarhead, what are you going to do?!" Draco was terrified. The godfather threatened him like this. Is there any great danger around?The more Draco thought about it, the more panicked he became.

"Ari, be good, dad sent the bad people away for the time being, but you have to be obedient." Harry stood up, reached out and rubbed the child's black hair twice.

"Dad, come on!" Ares knew that his father was going up to assist in the performance.

Harry smiled and walked slowly towards the stage under Draco's puzzled eyes.

At this time, the students had tidied themselves up and gave Professor Ali a score. Due to an accident, Professor Ali's final score was a bit low - 451 points.Everyone felt sorry for the young professor,

So far, the total score of Maya School of Magic is 694 points, the total score of Beauxbaton School of Magic is 938 points, the total score of Durmstrang School of Magic is 1021 points, and the total score of Watt-Plant School of Magic is 918 points .

And looking at the total score of 1021 points of the Durmstrang School of Magic, everyone began to look forward to the last Professor Lincoln of the Akzaan School of Magic. It wasn't that they didn't have hope for Professor Longbottom, but that Professor Longbottom usually There is no specialty in being well-behaved, so what should I do?

Neville stood on the stage with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to start singing immediately. Everyone looked at him in surprise, thinking that he was so nervous that he forgot the words.

At this time, Neville suddenly pointed his hand towards the steps leading up to the stage, as if inviting someone to come up. At this time, a beam of follow-up lights followed the direction of his finger, and everyone looked at it in surprise. By the time Professor Ashaprite was slowly making his way onto the stage.

How is this going?Could it be that the contestant at Hogwarts is actually Professor Ashaprite?The students below were all pleasantly surprised, while the other contestants were also taken aback -- what does this mean?Except for Severus, the referees didn't understand what was going on?

Harry got busy as soon as he stepped onto the stage, took out a grand piano from his pocket, put it on the stage, then conjured up a suitable piano bench, and put a few sheet music on it.Holding the piano and saluting gracefully to everyone, he sat down on the piano bench, put his slender fingers on the black and white keys, and nodded to Neville.

Neville gestured to Harry, then smiled at everyone in the audience.

Now everyone understands that Professor Asaplet is an assistant actor hired by Professor Longbottom!However, is this within the rules?

The other contestants shouted in their hearts that Longbottom was cunning, and the referees also felt that this professor at Hogwarts was really surprising. He even thought of finding an assistant, and even found such a famous assistant!However, it's not really a foul.It can only be said that no one else thought of it.

In any case, let's enjoy Professor Longbottom's "Nessun Dorma" for now.
