Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 951 Unreasonable

   "It's almost time, we should go to the Quidditch pitch." Dumbledore closed his pocket watch and called Albert to go downstairs.

   Along the way, they didn't talk anymore, and they didn't meet Harry Potter on the road.

  The two of them passed through the foyer, melted into the overcast night, and walked along the dark lawn towards the Quidditch pitch. At the entrance to the Quidditch pitch, he met Hermione and Ron, who had apparently accompanied Harry.

"Good evening."

   Albert smiled and greeted the two of them.

   "We're coming with Harry, it's not safe at night." Hermione said quickly, not knowing whether to tell Albert or explain to Dumbledore.

"See you."

After entering the Quidditch pitch, Albert found that the place had changed completely. The pitch was no longer flat and smooth. Hagrid had built countless long low walls here. These low walls were intricate, winding and stretching. to all directions.

   Albert felt that he should take a few photos in advance to study the maze map.

"Good evening!"

  A voice sounded on the field.

  Amelia Bones walked this way with Krum, Fleur, and Harry.

   "Good evening, Amelia."

Dumbledore greeted the other party, and after noticing Harry's hesitant appearance, he explained with a smile, "After the Triwizard Tournament is over, the Quidditch pitch will return to its original state! Well, I think you should have guessed What are we going to do here?"

   No one spoke for a while, and everyone looked at Albert.

   "The third item is the maze." Albert said.

"By the way!" Dumbledore happily explained, "The content of the third item is very simple, we will put the Triwizard Tournament trophy in the center of the maze, whichever warrior touches it first will get Full marks."

   "We just need to go through the maze?" Fleur obviously didn't think the third project would be that simple.

"There will be many obstacles in the maze," said Dumbledore. "Hagrid has provided a lot of magical animals, and there are some spells that need to be lifted. The third item mainly tests your strength, wisdom, courage and guts. The warrior enters the maze first."

   "I can understand that the first warrior to win the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament wins the Triwizard Tournament?" Albert asked suddenly.

   "Yes, that's it." Dumbledore nodded and said, "Any other questions?"

   "What advantage does the warrior who enters the maze first have?" Albert felt that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament were very strange in his previous life, and now he can finally complain.

"Advantage?"

   "Yeah, the advantage. Shouldn't it just enter the maze a few seconds before the other warriors?" Albert's face became more and more weird. "Or can the warrior with the leading score gain a clear time advantage?"

   "There is no time advantage." Dumbledore was obviously aware of the problem, but he still said, "There is not much difference between the warriors entering the maze one after another."

   "The rules of the Triwizard Tournament are really not so bad!" Hearing Albert's complaints, everyone turned their heads and stared at him?

   "Do you have any questions, Mr. Anderson?" Amelia Bones looked at Albert with raised eyebrows.

   "This means that both games will be meaningless." Albert directly pointed out the problem with the Triwizard Tournament.

   "How can it be meaningless."

"According to the order of scoring, is it really meaningful that the leading warrior can go first in the maze? Can he have a huge advantage?" Albert shook his head and said, "No, let alone a few seconds ahead, even a one-minute lead is not very meaningful. The third project directly vetoed the meaning of the first two games, and vetoed all the efforts of the Warriors."

   "If you fail in the first two rounds, but you get the trophy in the maze in the third round, what's the point of winning the championship?"

  Everyone was stunned, looking at Albert who got full marks in the first two games with strange expressions, and they didn't think that Albert complained because the third project took away his advantage.

"Don't look at me like that, even if I start ten minutes later than you, I still have the confidence to win the championship." Albert curled his lips and said, "I have participated in many kinds of competitions, and the mechanism of the Triwizard Tournament is the worst. It’s impossible to be fair, and I really don’t know if it’s been so bad in previous generations, or it’s so bad this year.”

   "Have a big problem?"

  Harry really didn't see it, he didn't really care, and he didn't think Albert cared, this tone was completely complaining about one thing.

   "The warrior who won the trophy in the third item gets full points, and the others don't get points, right, and the score of the game is the total of all the points, right?" Albert asked Dumbledore.

   "Yes, indeed." Dumbledore nodded.

"If you get the trophy but lose the total points, wouldn't it be embarrassing not to win the championship?" Albert said with an increasingly weird expression, "So the other people in the third event will have no points to ensure the chance to win the trophy." The Warriors won the championship, but in this way, it becomes the title of winning the trophy, and the first two items completely lose the meaning of existence.”

   "Mr. Anderson, what's your opinion?" Amelia Bones also realized the problem.

"It's not a good idea, I just want to remind you that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament should be changed. Even the Magic School Potions Tournament, which has been criticized by countless people, does not have this problem. Even if it cannot be completely fair, At least it is important to maintain relative fairness." Albert reminded, "And it is not difficult to do this."

  If it wasn't for Albert's perfect score in the previous two games, perhaps this statement would be more convincing.

  As long as you have a little brain, you can hear the problem. However, Albert's strong strength crushes all the warriors to keep their heads clear, without any envy and jealousy.

   Envy and jealousy, it is based on the fact that everyone is on the same level.

   This method of winning the championship after winning the third game is simply throwing the first two events under their feet, and by the way, throwing the faces of all the warriors on the ground and stomping on them twice.

   It's just that everyone doesn't care about the results of the game, so no one has noticed that there is a big problem with the Triwizard Tournament.

   "It's been a long time since the Triwizard Tournament was held, and there will inevitably be some negligence and problems during the period." Dumbledore smiled and looked at Albert, "However, I don't think there should be much difference for you."

   "I don't mind, I just want to mention it so that the next Triwizard Tournament will not be so bad, although I don't know if there will be a next one."

   Albert glanced at the task panel, and the task that previously triggered the problem of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament has been completed.

  For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly had a strange feeling.

   This is a warning.

   Yes, warning.

  Albert obviously would not provoke trouble deliberately, even if he knew that there was a problem with the rules of the Triwizard Tournament, he would probably only remind him in private.

  However, Albert said it directly now, and the conversation in the office made him feel that it was a warning.

  If Albert knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would definitely complain: You think too much.

  He is doing a task, the experience reward is not much, but it is not too little.

   As for the warning what?

  Albert really didn't know.

  However, what he didn't know was that Dumbledore really had a feeling that if Albert really died in the third project, something terrible might happen.

   In fact, Dumbledore's intuition was right.

  Albert was indeed well-prepared, even considering his unfortunate death in the maze.

   If you really die unfortunately, you will overturn the chessboard and pin it on everyone. When the time comes, all the secrets will be exposed, and everyone will not think about it. I believe that the entire magic world will definitely stage a wonderful show.

  Anyway, I will die by then, and other family members have made arrangements.

   No matter how chaotic the magic world is, he doesn't care about it.

   "If there are no other questions, then go back, it's already late, be careful on the way back." Dumbledore said with a smile.

  Everyone left the Quidditch pitch one after another. Amelia Bones quietly walked to Albert and said in a low voice, "Can I have a few words with you?"

   "No problem." Albert nodded.

   "Someone suggested that I come to you, and they said you made a prophecy!" Amelia Bones said straight to the point without forgetting the purpose of her trip.

  Honestly, Amelia Bones could have been spared. After all, he is only serving as a temporary referee. Even if he wants to come, it should be the new director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports. The mess that came down.

Most of the directors of the Department of Magical Sports are Quidditch players. If there is no accident, Ludo Bagman will stay in this position for at least a few years, and his successor will be trained by then , but that guy screwed everyone over.

  That's why Amelia Bones, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, came here in order to make the Triwizard Tournament look fair.

   "What do you want from me?" Albert asked.

   "That prophecy, they say you are a very powerful master of prophecy." Amelia Bones said.

   "People like you definitely don't believe such nonsense." Albert knew that the other party didn't believe it all, and he probably came here just to try his luck.

   After all, seeing is believing.

   "No, I believe it." Amelia Bones said seriously, "I want to know the truth."

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, just like the prophecy you heard, the mysterious man will make a comeback soon." Albert stopped and asked Burns, "Didn't you go to other famous fortune-tellers? At least it is more reliable than me, an ungraduated wizard."

"If you are not reliable, then who is reliable? Mr. Anderson, don't underestimate yourself." Amelia Bones said softly: "Many fortunetellers are not reliable. There are not many people with the ability to predict."

   "Cassandra Vabraski." Albert said without hesitation: "The author of "Putting Through the Fog to See the Future" should be able to give you the answer. I remember that she should not be dead yet."

"She's very old, and she doesn't give people divination anymore." Amelia Bones was considering the possibility of visiting Cassandra Vabraski. The two parties had no friendship at all, and Cassan Della Vabraski had long since given up divination. "

"The centaurs think that people in the wizarding world are just spending the short period of peace between the two wars, and I saw a report from the "Daily Prophet" on the comeback of the mysterious man from the crystal ball." Albert told Amy Leah Bones introduced her divination ability, "I can only predict the future through the crystal ball. What I see may not be true, but at least I see it."

   As he spoke, Albert took out a bag from his pocket, took out a small crystal ball from it, and handed it to Burns on the ground. There was a report on Voldemort on the crystal ball.

   "You won't catch me suddenly!" Albert said suddenly.

Amelia Bones glanced at the bag in Albert's hand that had been cast with the traceless stretching spell, and didn't care, but returned the crystal ball to Albert and said, "It seems that you know why I come to you."

   "I know something." Albert said suddenly, "But..."

   "But what?" Burns asked.

   "You may be dying."

   "You predicted my death?" Amelia Bones' complexion became ugly, but soon returned to normal.

   "You can think so."

   "Who killed me?" Burns asked.

   "It should be the mysterious person who killed you. They will not allow you to take Fudge's place. I heard that you have a grudge against the mysterious person." Albert reminded.

   There is more than just hatred, the Burns family is one of the most powerful families.

  Now the whole family is beginning to feel lonely, completely thanks to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, which is why she hurried to find Albert today.

   "Thank you for the warning."

  Bones didn't fully believe it, but she was still vigilant, because she did have a deep hatred with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

   "Gambling is not a good habit, and you usually lose badly." Albert reminded, "If you have a deep hatred like you, I suggest avoiding it for a few years. Good luck!"

   "You mean..."

  Amelia Bones looked at the back of Albert leaving, and she noticed that Albert used "you".

  She is alone, and the rest of the family died in the last wizarding war. The so-called "you" should refer to her and her relatives.

   Does this mean that she and her relatives will be in danger?

  Whether the prophecy is accurate or not will be known soon.

  Albert never cared whether Amelia Burns would die or what would happen to the Burns family. After all, they were just strangers, and they just sold each other a little favor.

   Cast the net widely and catch more fish.

  That is a strong woman, it is impossible to give up her career and hide after listening to Albert's reminder, so she will probably die.

  Even if Amelia Bones becomes the Minister of Magic in the end, 80% of them will die. Who made her have too much hatred with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
