The Admiral of Hogwarts

Just as Veneto was approaching the age limit, many onlookers gathered, including Durmstrang students who had just submitted their names.

After all, Veneto had killed a giant troll through hand-to-hand combat in her first year, making her a celebrity at the school. Therefore, many people were curious to see how she would break through the age limit.

Veneto, in front of everyone, took out her wand, grabbed her left hand, and cast several layers of Iron Skin Charms on her right hand. Then, she took a goblet from the nearby table and transformed it into an ancient-style armored gauntlet, which she put on her right hand.

"Do you want to break Headmaster Dumbledore's magic circle?" Laughter and exclamations came from the crowd. In their opinion, the Headmaster's magic shouldn't be breakable by physical means.

"Of course not, but I don't need to directly confront Headmaster's age circle." Veneto gently shook her head. "Don't forget, this magic is cast on the ground."

Unlike the floating circle of mist in the movies, the current situation was closer to the description in the novels, where the age circle was a golden square drawn on the ground around the Goblet of Fire.

As Veneto spoke, she knelt on one knee at the edge of the age circle, then raised her right hand, wearing the armored gauntlet, and slammed it down heavily.

"Whoa—Boom!" With a sharp whistling sound, the punch landed heavily on the ground. A cloud of dust rose sharply from below, obscuring her figure amidst the loud collision.

"No, this is impossible—" As the dust cleared a little, Marietta, who had been craning her neck to watch the excitement, was the first to exclaim.

At this moment, Veneto's fist had dented the ground, and a large number of cracks appeared around the point of impact. The stone bricks of the floor also showed large areas of cracking and falling off.

The age circle set by Professor Dumbledore began to flicker due to the destruction of its carrier, revealing many gaps.

While the dust hadn't yet settled, Veneto, certain of the effect of her strike, suddenly pushed her leg back and jumped up, rushing to the Goblet of Fire and stuffing all the slips of paper in her hand into it.

Throughout the entire process, Headmaster Dumbledore's age limit had no effect whatsoever. When Veneto finally emerged from the completely dimmed age circle, she had neither white hair nor a white beard.

"Boom—" A commotion erupted around them, mixed with applause and whistles. The clearest of all was the Weasley twins' cheers: "She did it, heavens! Veneto put her name in the Goblet of Fire."

"Thank you, thank you everyone!" Veneto waved to those cheering for her, but at this moment, a low and smiling voice came from beside her.

"Ah, Miss Veneto, I certainly didn't consider things thoroughly enough when I was making the decision." At this moment, Dumbledore walked in from the crowd, then looked at the mess on the ground and said.

"Frankly, I never imagined that a wizard's strength could reach this level. And I also didn't expect that you would be able to observe the flaws in the age circle I drew."

"Thank you for your praise, Professor." Veneto smiled and bowed slightly to Dumbledore.

"However, what you did was still a bit reckless, especially putting so many students' votes in at once. Don't forget, the Triwizard Tournament is a very dangerous competition, and you've essentially put everyone in danger." Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly sternly said.

"I don't think so. I previously checked all the information about the Triwizard Tournament, and it said that the Goblet of Fire always chooses the most powerful student in the school to participate in the competition." Veneto defended herself.

"So I dare say that if everything is normal, students who haven't reached the age won't be selected by the Goblet of Fire, so everyone is just wasting a little parchment and ink to experience it."

"—Your analysis is indeed very reasonable." After being told this by Veneto, the Headmaster shook his head, "But you still violated the school rules, so you will need to serve detention for the next month."

"Of course, you're not the only one serving detention." Professor Dumbledore raised his head at this time and looked around, "The students who asked Miss Veneto to help them vote will each receive ten days of detention from their Head of House."

After saying these things, Headmaster Dumbledore redrew a circle floating in the air like in the movies, and then left the Great Hall under the students' gazes.

After the Headmaster left, the students who had been around Veneto immediately surrounded her and began asking questions about everything she had just done.

Soon, the news of Veneto putting her name in the Goblet of Fire swept through Hogwarts, and even spread to other schools. But unexpectedly, there weren't many protests about this matter.

Hugo thought about it and felt that this was also quite reasonable. Leaving aside the fact that Hogwarts' champion hadn't been selected yet, even if a fourth-year student like Veneto was really selected, it should be good news for them.

In order to avoid those curious gazes, Veneto came out of the crowd surrounding her and went with Hugo and his sister to Hagrid's, preparing to avoid the noisy crowd.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong." After arriving at Hagrid's, Hagrid said to Veneto while ironing textiles, "But you're too young, the chance of actually being selected isn't very big."

"Some things, you always have to try to do while you're young, otherwise you'll definitely regret it when you get older." Veneto took a sip of tea and looked up at Hagrid. "By the way! What are you doing now?"

Hagrid was currently ironing a large, dark blue textile on the ironing board. This textile was very large, and in Hugo's eyes, it looked like a tent.

"Oh, this is my new suit. I plan to wear it to tonight's Halloween feast, so it looks a little more formal." Hagrid said with a smile.

"And thanks to your previous help in publishing that book and helping me contact Miss Unyielding for cooperation, I have enough money to customize such a suit."

"Actually, we didn't do much, it's just that you didn't discover your own special talents before." Hugo smiled and shook his head. It must be said that Hagrid's current outfit looks much better than in the novels.

In the following time, everyone gathered together to discuss various knowledge about magical creatures. Some of this knowledge could help Unyielding and the others.

At noon, Veneto borrowed the raw materials and cooking utensils from Hagrid's place and made a lunch mainly consisting of Italian noodles and stew. To be honest, Hagrid's cooking utensils were both large and heavy, and if the ship girls didn't have extraordinary physical strength, they wouldn't be able to use them at all.

At 3 pm, Hagrid began to dress himself up. With Veneto's intervention, Hagrid's look has obviously improved more than one level.

"This is standard Milan fashion." After giving Hagrid a haircut and trimming his beard, Veneto said to Hagrid, who was holding up a mirror and looking at himself. "It's obviously more suitable for a banquet than your previous image."
