[HP] Missy and Mischief

Getting off the Hogwarts Express most people were complaining about the damn rainy weather in England.On the first day of school every year, it is almost rarer to see a sunny day than a gentle snail.

Peeves screamed and laughed and threw water-filled balloons at everyone. When Professor McGonagall angrily cast a curse at it, it even retorted plausibly, "Anyway, it's already soaked and it's okay to add some water." nothing".

The prefects had to stand at the door and repeatedly cast drying spells and warming spells on the panicked freshmen. This boring job also made Cassandra look extremely bad when she returned to the Slytherin long table.

Theodore taunted her: "You look like a witch who wants to eat children, and the new students will cry in fright."

Cassandra: "Mr. Nott, need I remind you that you have a natural face that can scare people into tears?"

The tumbling purple-black clouds, forked lightning, and rumbling thunder sounded on the magic ceiling, and Theodore shut up knowingly.

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat loudly to restore silence to the wet and messy auditorium, and then repeated the roll-call-sorting process that did not change every year.When the Sorting Hat's annual leisure work was completed, and the students were full and drowsy—Dumbledore finally got up and began to announce the news that made everyone sober:

- There will be no House Cup Quidditch matches this year.

"What?!" Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy yelled in unison.

Fred and George - and the entire Quidditch team stared dumbfounded at Professor Dumbledore, and Marcus looked like he had just been murdered, exclaiming "Then what am I staying here for another year?" ".

"Maybe it's for the real purpose of going to school and gaining knowledge?" Dumbledore's mouth twitched a few times, and then he had to amplify his voice to suppress the noisy discussions of the students: "This is because a large event will be held at ten Beginning in September and continuing throughout the school year... I am sure you will all have a great time enjoying it. It is with great pleasure that I announce that this year at Hogwarts there will be - *"

Accompanied by a thunderclap from the ceiling, the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and a limping, ferocious man in a black cloak walked towards the faculty desk through the wind and rain.

The bright light of lightning illuminated his scarred and mutilated face, and the blue false eyes that swished around... Cassandra was also a little frightened, only to hear Dumbledore happily announce this It will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - Alastor Moody.

Heck, she didn't know if it was better to be taught by a werewolf, or to be reworked by a crazy retired Auror.Cassandra couldn't help but wonder, what year were they going to have a normal Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who had been teaching for seven years?

The students were overwhelmed by Professor Moody's dignity and failed to give a timely welcome (although the new professor didn't seem to care much about this).Dumbledore then announced the news that a small number of students already knew during the summer vacation:

"Over the next few months we will be honored to host a fantastic event that has not been held in over a century. It is with great pleasure that I report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held this year at Hogwarts.*”

"Brilliant!" Fred and George clapped their hands loudly.

The atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly broke the ice. The children from magical families began to talk a lot, and the children from Muggle families also eagerly asked the people around them for news. Dumbledore laughed helplessly.

"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Weasley. It seems that many of our insiders have difficulty keeping it completely secret, which makes the surprise a bit discounted... But I think there are still some new news to be announced." Dumbledore Lido continued: "In October, the principals of Beauxbaton and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected students. Around Halloween, the contestants from the three schools will be selected by an absolutely impartial referee. Come out and win honor for your school, and you will also win a thousand galleons for yourself."

"I want to participate!" Fred's face glowed with excitement, thinking of a bag full of Galleons and the customers who had increased his reputation, he showed the same dreamy expression as George.

As for the Slytherin long table, although there was a little doubt about the amount of the bonus, the title of "Warrior" has begun to make many boys feel excited. "I'll stick the Triwizard Tournament trophy on the Dean's desk," he declared.

Snape had no time for him, he was killing Potter with eternal hatred.

Even if Dumbledore then announced that the contestants must be at least 17 years old, the noise and discussion in the auditorium did not tend to decrease.Cassandra could hear Fred and George shouting angrily across the long table.

"We will be seventeen next April, why not give us a chance to participate?"

"They can't stop me from participating...and there's a bonus of a thousand Galleons!"

Cassandra couldn't hear any more discussions that followed, and the four colleges began to walk towards the foyer in batches, and returned to the lounges of each college.

Draco was clearly complaining to Pansy and Blaise: "That old lunatic Dumbledore, isn't a young warrior more proof of his superiority?"

Blaise: "And die faster. Wasn't the previous Triwizard Tournament aka 'None Survive'?"

Pansy glared at him dissatisfied, and continued to indulge in the fantasy of "Draco Malfoy's warrior representing Hogwarts".

"Will any of you sign up?" Cassandra asked the people around her.

"I can't reach the age," Betty said briskly, "but I don't want to work hard for a thousand Galleons. It's more interesting to see Durmstrang's handsome guy in the audience."

It seems that she has completely recovered from the pain of the broken relationship.Just in July, Wood, who had just graduated, was signed by Puddlemere United and became a professional Quidditch player flying around the world. Betty's crush ended without a problem.

"Those Germans are no good." Terrence looked at her disapprovingly, seeming to be critical of her sister's statement.

"But the French are nice, aren't they? Beauxbatons has a very—perfect male-female ratio," Cassius said wryly.

Now most of the Slytherin boys showed fascinated expressions.

Compared with the students' concern about "whether they can break through the age barrier to participate in the Triwizard Tournament" and "what kind of students in other schools are good-looking", the content that the professors care about is simpler and more deadly——

Hogwarts students must not be compared to other schools!

On this point, Professor Snape even reached a rare consensus with Professor McGonagall. He hissed and sprayed the venom in Potions class: "Although you are empty-headed and stupid, in the eyes of wizards from other countries, sooner or later you You'll all be 'Hogwarts graduates'...without caring which house you're from. I don't expect you to all be O's, but stop blowing up the cauldron!"

He kicked Neville, Crabbe, and Goyle out of the Potions classroom after burning through the first cauldron of the term, and forbade them from revealing that they had studied potions (…).

"Aha, at least the old bat is not biased this time." Ron watched enviously as Crabbe, Goyle, and Neville walked out of the Potions class with mournful faces, and then was hit on the back of the head by Professor Snape with a textbook.

In addition to the sharp increase in the difficulty of Transfiguration and Potions, the teachers of other courses also increased the difficulty and length of homework after class, which made the students miserable, and their original expectations of seeing students from other colleges also gradually changed. In the hope that they will come soon, cast a spell on them, and the professors will know that Hogwarts is the best school for witchcraft and wizardry.

Some students even started to speak up.

Harry: "Pretend to beat them all to death at the dueling club."

Ron: "Really beat them all to death, glory to Hogwarts."

………………

By Thursday's History of Magic class, Cassandra was saddened to discover that even Professor Binns had listened to other professors and changed his own course schedule that hadn't changed in 240 years.

The ghost professor stopped reading textbooks in that wheezing, dragging voice. He began to let the students sit separately according to the college, and answer the questions related to the history of magic he gave. By the end of the get out of class, the most correct answers College plus 30 points.

Professor Cuthbert Binns said slowly: "The headmaster thinks... this will help stimulate your enthusiasm for learning the history of magic... although the score is not very meaningful..."

Betty gave a very inelegant "tsk" sound: "I think it means a lot."

She poked Cassandra and said, "Do you remember when Gemma said when we were first in school, 'Ravenclaws will try to frame people in despicable ways to get better grades'."

Cassandra was using a quill to outline the "L&N" carved by an unknown senior on the old desk. Before she could answer, she heard loud ridicule from behind.

It was Terry Boot from Ravenclaw, looking at them with folded arms and saying, "It seems to be true. Oh, there are only 11 students in your Slytherin class, and even if you count average marks, you don't have any Chance to win."

Cassandra gave up the idea of ​​engraving another "CW", and sneered back: "That's because only you can memorize the History of Magic textbook for points. It's as if the Triwizard Tournament will test the number one who died in the goblin rebellion." What is the name of a wizard."

Both sides are at war with each other, Professor Binns is ready to write a question, and some students in Slytherin are also ready to copy the answer (...). In short, the two colleges are ready to go, ready to write with a quill pen at any time. Click on the correct option.

At the beginning, Professor Binns’ questions were relatively simple and introductory, mostly from Bathilda Bagshot’s "History of Magic" textbook, and students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw could write answers on parchment .

"Who invented Floo powder?"

Cassandra scribbled "Ignetta Westsmith" on a piece of paper, and Cassius and Betty and the rest of the Slytherins followed suit.

"In what year did three judges at the Triwizard Tournament get injured because of Fantastic Beasts?"

Roger Davies and another Ravenclaw boy, Goldstein, whispered about how easy Professor Binns's question was, and wrote down the correct answer of "1792".

But Professor Binns seems to have been prepared for a long time, and the questions he gave have changed from scripted to more and more... No wonder.

"How many times has Wen Delin, the fortune teller, been deliberately arrested because he likes to be burned by flames?"

— 47 times.

"When one Galleon was initially priced by the goblin, how many Nats was it equal to?"

— 493 nats.

Cassius: "I don't know when Professor Binns is going to switch to teaching arithmetic and divination." He had to look up at Cassandra's answer.

"What's the train number for Hogwarts?"

- 5972.

Even Terry Boot slowed down and began to think.As an immortal ghost, Professor Binns has a vast knowledge base, and they are only sixth graders who have just passed Owls.

"Which team won the 1872 Quidditch World Cup?"

"How many exceptions are there in Gamp's basic deformation law?"

"What are the three aliases of the Philosopher's Stone?"

"How many people were included in Tyco Dodonas' most famous prediction?"

"Which country did Baba Vanga's seer come from?"

……

At the end of the answer, almost all the Slytherin students were blank-eyed, and the Ravenclaw students also began to discuss the answers in whispers, and tentatively wrote their guesses on the parchment.

Anthony said softly: "I seem to have seen too many Donnas predictions in the "History of Prophecy in the 20th Century". Spread your wings and fly out of the water..."

Roger asked, "Then what is Baba Vanga's prophecy?"

No one can answer it.

Cassandra was very dissatisfied with this, she could already foresee Ravenclaw scoring 30 points, and then passing by the Snake Court haughtily——

And the fact is like this.With a total score of 1750 and an average score of 70 points, Ravenclaw narrowly beat Slytherin's average score of 58.2 points, adding a lot of sapphires to the hourglass of the scorer.

"I hope there will be competitions in Charms." Cassius said longingly, "and beat Ravenclaw to the ground in front of Professor Flitwick."

Betty folded the parchment and stuffed it into her bag, "Then the professor beat you to pieces. He's a master duelist!"

"So, which country is the prophet Baba Vanga from, and what is the content of the prophecy?" Cassandra and several other top Ravenclaw students stopped Professor Binns who was about to leave the classroom through the wall.

He looked a little surprised, but he still looked at the students in front of him with transparent eyeballs, cleared his throat and said, "Well... Baba Vanga is a Bulgarian woman who is as famous as Cassandra Trelawney Blind seer, she is also known as 'the fortuneteller of the Balkans'. But I don't think her predictions will change any history, our history is made of truth..."

Roger asked, "So what exactly is the content of the prophecy?"

He looked as if he really wanted this question to appear on the test paper, so that no one else could answer it.

Poor Professor Binns had to stay in the classroom to answer students' questions.

"Well, well! If you insist on knowing--'After the long night of wizards, greater storms are brewing, the great wise men guide the warriors, lightning, stone statues, explosions, phoenixes, swords and beasts, pure The blood of the people burns away, the fate of one is the future of all'. Some people think that this prophecy is aimed at the Dark Lord, but he obviously chose to believe another one that is more explicit..."

Cassandra continued with a pale face: "The person with the power to conquer the Dark Lord is born at the end of July."

It seems that none of the students thought that they could hear more terrifying epics from Professor Binns than the rumors about the "chamber of secrets" two years ago.

They left the classroom quickly.

The author has something to say:

①This chapter contains more than three Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Easter eggs;

②All prophecies appearing in this article (including those of Trelawney and Cassandra) will be fulfilled in various ways; There are revisions to the prophecies about humanity.
