After Rachel and George reconciled, their relationship got better and better, and Rachel's research gradually matured, and the days passed smoothly.

After dinner that day, Dumbledore tapped his glass and said, "Stay everyone! This announcement was supposed to be made a week ago! But for some reason, we delayed it by a week. Now, I announce, The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"

The auditorium was boiling, and Dumbledore motioned for everyone to be quiet, and announced the registration conditions and methods for the Triwizard Tournament.Rachel saw the long Gryffindor table in the distance, Fred and George's faces were full of excitement.

Before Rachel left the auditorium, George chased after her, and he grabbed her with a smile.

"Honey, wait for me in the auditorium early tomorrow morning!" He said.

Rachel smiled and asked, "Why?"

George winked at her and said, "You'll find out tomorrow!" He kissed her on the cheek and complained, "We've all been waiting for so long, I don't know what happened to delay the triwizard hegemony!" It took so long."

Rachel knew what had happened, her memory flashed back to a week before Beauxbatons and Durmstrang hadn't arrived.

One morning, Rachel received a mannequin from St. Mungo's.It was a life-size doll with skin, muscles, blood vessels and internal organs.

In addition to not being able to think or move, it even has breathing. It closes its eyes, like a man who is asleep.

This was specially requested by St. Mungo for their research. There is only one mannequin like this in the entire wizarding world.

Gary touched the model fascinatedly, and said, "Merlin! It's so realistic! How did you do it?"

Kara rummaged through the model, she pointed to the back of the model's neck, and said, "A combination of advanced alchemy and magic circle, Rachel, how could they agree to make this for you?"

Looking at the parchment that came with the model, Rachel said, "Last year I wrote an application letter covering our research paper and experimental plan, and I went through the back door with my mother and asked her to send the application letter directly. Give it to the dean of St. Mungo. During the summer vacation, I talked to the dean of St. Mungo's again, and he is very interested in our research."

She took out three pairs of eyes from the model box, handed them to Gary and Kara respectively, and said, "Look, the glasses that can see through the skin and directly see the body structure!"

Gary put on his glasses, cast a spell on the model, and said frantically, "I can still see the direction of the magic power in the body! It's amazing!" Kara and Rachel were also very excited.

Rachel asked, "Aren't Professor Flitwick and Moody here yet?"

"Just got the owl to bring them a note, should be coming soon," Carla said.

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the research room opened.Moody limped away from the door and said in a rough voice, "It's not time for the experiment today, what do you want me to do?"

Rachel said: "We got a mannequin from St. Mungo's..."

Gary went on to say: "So I would like to ask you to use a few black magic directly on the model to do a test for us. If there are any defects, we can send them back to fix them."

Kara also looked up and said, "If mannequins are available, we don't need to experiment with animals."

Moody glanced back and forth at the lying mannequin and asked, "You want me to cast a spell on this thing?"

The three nodded, and Moody's face twitched as he took a sip from the jug.Rachel, who was closest to him, suddenly smelled a smell coming from his flagon, but Rachel was sure it wasn't wine.

Moody, with a look of cruelty on his old face, said, "You guys want to see this, don't you?" He threw an Avada Kedavra at the model.

The three of Rachel were taken aback, but they were immediately attracted by the magic direction in the model.

I saw that the green light emitted by Moody concentrated on the center of the model's heart, causing ventricular fibrillation, and then the green light began to spread to other places.

Rachel quickly climbed onto the table and said to Gary and Carla, "Great opportunity! Gary, try to stop the magic, and Carla, try that Muggle's instrument and medicine."

Rachel overlapped her palms and pressed on the model's chest regularly, using Muggle CPR on it.Gary picked up his wand and cast a spell over the mannequin; Kara quickly got the defibrillator ready, and Rachel dismounted from the mannequin to run the defibrillator on the mannequin.

Gary said, "Look! Rachel, Kara, the magic has stopped moving!"

Rachel threw away the defibrillator and said to Kara, "Try that Muggle's adrenaline."

Carla picked up the needle and aimed it at the model's trachea and punctured it, then poured the medicine into it.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that the magic power in the model retracted a little, but immediately grew back, spreading rapidly throughout the body.

"It failed," Carla said.

Rachel said: "But we have made progress. This adrenaline is really useful. If the medicine is strengthened, it may really be able to save a person who was hit by the death curse."

Suddenly Moody's voice rang in their ears: "Impossible! Impossible!" he yelled, startling them.

The three of them stared blankly at Moody yelling in front of them, not understanding how it aroused him so much, he yelled and walked out the door quickly.

Gary frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Carla said, "I don't know, but...do you smell anything?"

Rachel looked at her and said, "You smell that too?"

The two looked at each other and said together: "Compound Potion!"

They told Dumbledore about it, and the Triwizard Tournament was delayed for a week, presumably to deal with the fake Moody.

Early the next morning, when Rachel arrived at the foyer, there were already many people there.Lida stood by the bench, saw Rachel, and waved to her, beckoning her to come over.

Rachel walked over and smiled at her: "Morning, Lida."

"Morning, Rachel!" She saw a thick book in Rachel's hand, laughed, and lifted her own book, saying, "George asked you to come?"

Rachel smiled: "Yeah, otherwise I should be in the library right now."

Lida nodded knowingly, and said, "You will meet me there."

The two exchanged a few words and found that they got along very well.In fact, Rachel felt that Leda was quite similar to her. The most obvious thing was that they both fell in love with one of the Weasley twins, but Leda was more lively than her.

While talking, I saw Fred and George running in from outside the hall cheering, holding a bottle of potion in their hands.

Fred exclaimed, "We did it!"

George also held up the potion in his hand triumphantly, and said, "Aging potion!"

They walked past Lida and Rachel, and George winked at Rachel, making the corners of Rachel's lips twitch unconsciously.

Fred said to everyone: "We're going to the Triwizard Tournament!"

George said: "We were only a few months away from being adults!"

Hermione hit them, saying, "It won't work!"

Fred and George looked at each other, squatting next to Hermione, and George asked, "Oh? Why, Granger?"

Hermione pointed to the golden circle and said, "Dumbledore drew that circle himself! The stupid way of using aging potions won't work!"

Fred said nonchalantly, "It's because of the stupid way that it works!"

George nodded: "Because he wouldn't have thought that we would really use stupid methods!"

The two stood on the bench and opened the potion. "Ready, Fred." "Ready, George."

"Done!"

Hermione asked Rachel and Lida, who were watching the excitement, "You don't think this method works, do you?"

Rachel looked at her and said innocently, "I don't think so!"

Lida also showed a smirk: "Of course it won't work."

Hermione was surprised and puzzled: "Then why didn't you stop them?"

Lida blinked and asked her back, "Why do you want to stop it?"

Rachel smiled innocently: "I think it's cute!"

Hermione: "..."

Rachel and Lida stood aside, watching with great interest as they drank the potion in the way of drinking a cup of wine.

Rachel whispered to Lida, "Bet a Sickle they'll be thrown seven feet."

Lida said, "I bet it will pop five feet."

Fred and George jumped into the golden circle, but there was no reaction there. The two thought they had succeeded, and clapped their hands happily.But when they put their names in, they were bounced ten feet away by the golden ring, and white beards grew on their chins.

That funny appearance made everyone laugh. Rachel laughed and said to Lida: "It seems that none of us won."

Lida closed the book with a smile in her eyes: "That's really a pity."

The two walked to their respective boyfriends, Rachel knelt down and tugged at George's white beard, and said with a smile, "I see your old look."

George took her hand, didn't feel embarrassed at all, and grinned: "You will have a chance to see me when I am old."

Rachel understood what he meant, blushed and pulled his white beard, whispering, "Who wants to see it!".

George pretended to be in pain, and exchanged: "Ouch, don't talk! I'm an old man now!"

It's not a problem to have an old man's head, and Rachel has no antidote, so she and Lida accompany the two of them to the school hospital to find Madam Pomfrey.

There was already a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff in the school hospital, and they also drank aging potions and jumped into the golden circle.Madam Pomfrey trusted Rachel so much that she asked her to find the antidote for her boyfriend and his brother.

Rachel took some antidote and gave it to Fred and George respectively.The medicine tasted so strange that it was hard to swallow.

George wrinkled his face and couldn't swallow it. Seeing that he was about to spit it out, Rachel quickly covered George's mouth with her hand and said, "Drink it quickly, and it will be a waste if you spit it out! There are no ingredients for this potion. How much stock is there!"

George had no choice but to swallow it by himself, and Rachel quickly stuffed a fruit candy into his mouth, and then handed Lida another one, asking her to give Fred to eat it too.

Rachel looked at George with concern and asked, "How do you feel?"

George wanted to look very complicated, so he said with sugar in his mouth, "It's hard to say!" His appearance is gradually regaining his youth.

Rachel pinched his earlobe and said, "See if you dare to use this stupid method next time."

George asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Rachel raised her eyebrows and exchanged glances with Lida.They had just discussed how to get past the age limit and put their names in the Goblet of Fire.

But they made a tacit decision not to tell their boyfriends, lest they do it again.

Rachel looked at George and said, "The best way is to not call attention to this matter!"

George lay down on the hospital bed in disappointment, looking at the ceiling.Madam Pomfrey saw that they had regained their youth, and she kept pushing them out.

The champions of the Triwizard Tournament have been chosen, Krum, Fleur, Cedric and...Harry Potter!

Hogwarts had an extra warrior, which sparked heated discussions among all.

Rachel knew that Harry definitely didn't sign up for this. She subconsciously looked at Lida, and found that Lida was also looking at her.They looked at each other, and Rachel suddenly wanted to discuss it with her.

She said hello to Carla, and when everyone was getting emotional, she quietly went around the Gryffindor table.

She sat next to George, who was startled and asked her, "Honey, why are you here?"

Rachel didn't answer, but said to Lida on the opposite side, "You also noticed something was wrong?"

Lida nodded, and said seriously: "It's so wrong, I think someone wants to kill Harry."

Ron has been in a bad mood since Harry was selected as a warrior. Hearing what they said, he said sourly: "I don't think it's that exaggerated. He must have found a way to escape the age limit."

Rachel shook her head and said, "There's only one way to get around the age limit! But Harry can't do it!"

George said in surprise, "You know how to get past the age limit?"

Lida said: "As long as an adult holds the parchment that has been cursed with confusion, even minors can successfully sign up!"

Fred also yelled at Lida, "You know that too!"

George said angrily, "Why didn't you say anything when we asked!"

Rachel reached for his hand, and George was suddenly touched by the cold touch and shivered violently.He held her hand behind his back and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Rachel didn't answer, she continued the topic just now, and said, "It takes absolutely powerful magic power to fool the Goblet of Fire. A 14-year-old student can't do it! Only one of the professors—"

Lida took the topic tacitly, and said, "—or people from the Ministry of Magic."

George said in surprise: "You will both answer each other's words!"

Fred said, "Just like us!"

Rachel: ...

Lida: ...

Hermione who was listening silently: ...

Ron was still unconvinced: "What if he asked someone else to vote for him?"

"Impossible!" Rachel and Lida said in unison.

Hermione looked at Ron impatiently, and said, "Don't you understand yet? The golden circle that confused Dumbledore with the curse must be a person with particularly strong magic power!"

Hermione ignored the tangled Ron, she asked Rachel and Lida: "What if you tell Dumbledore to cancel Harry's right to compete?"

Rachel shook her head and said, "Impossible, this is a magic contract! Once you are selected, you have to participate according to the rules."

Hermione bit her lip and thought on the sidelines. Of course, none of them came up with any solution in the end, so they could only helplessly listen to Dumbledore announcing the game time.
