The next day is Saturday.
This is a good time to sleep in.
Especially for students in fifth and seventh grade who are preparing for OWL and exams.
However, when John came to the auditorium to have breakfast as usual in the morning, he found that the foyer was already full of people.
They were all looking at the Goblet of Fire.
The cup was now placed in the center of the hall, on the high chair where the Sorting Hat usually rested.
A thin golden line was also drawn on the floor, forming a circle with a radius of about ten feet, surrounding the Goblet of Fire in the center.
"John, come here quickly, we are about to vote for names!"
As soon as John appeared, he heard Draco shout happily.
"You haven't given up yet?" John smiled helplessly, "So? What are you going to do?"
Draco mysteriously pointed to the senior Slytherins standing beside him and whispered:
"This was Alice's idea. Although students under the age limit of seventeen cannot pass, they can pass as long as they are over seventeen. After that, just let them put your name
If you write it on a piece of paper and throw it in, doesn't it count as successful registration?"
Hearing this, John raised his eyebrows speechlessly and said:
"She thought about it for more than a month before she came up with this idea? Didn't she say she also needed some alchemy equipment?"
"Don't be anxious, Master Shafiq." Alice came over at some point carrying a metal box, "Of course it's not that simple. Did you see what I have in my hand? This is the key."
As she spoke, Alice tapped the metal box lightly with her wand.
Immediately, there was a dense mechanical sound inside.
After a while, a large number of notes with the names of John and Michelle were spit out from the metal box.
"This machine can cast a [Confusion Curse] on the spitted paper, so it should be able to deceive the Goblet of Fire."
As Alice spoke, she handed the note with John's name on it to the long-awaited Slytherin hands.
"Me! Me! Alice, and me!"
Michelle on the side couldn't wait to shout.
Alice smiled and handed over a stack of paper with Michelle's name written on it.
Michelle is very popular in Gryffindor.
A bunch of seniors had already prepared, obviously preparing to implement the same plan.
In addition, George, Fred, Ron, Harry, Draco...
A lot of people also asked Alice for a bunch of notes, and found someone to sign up.
"Are you all ready?" Alice said seriously with a straight face, "The success rate of [Confusion Curse] is not 100%, although it has a high probability of success under the crowd tactics. But if it fails, vote
The person will be ejected. You need to be prepared!"
Hearing this, all the senior students present nodded seriously.
Then, amid the cheers of Michelle, Draco and others, a large number of senior students rushed towards the Goblet of Fire and threw the notes into it.
So many pieces of paper were thrown in at the same time that the flames in the cup became a little dim.
However, the next moment, the originally suppressed flames suddenly surged, turning into an explosive wave of fire that knocked everyone, including the [Confusion Spell] notes in their hands, away from the golden coil.
For a time, the whole hall was filled with wailing and chaos.
"They all failed!"
Draco held his head and screamed.
Alice's expression also darkened.
Michelle was helping and comforting those who were knocked away.
She supports not only Gryffindors, but also Slytherins.
"I warned you."
Dumbledore suddenly walked out of the auditorium. He smiled and said, "Only those who are over seventeen years old can sign up."
His eyes scanned everyone, and finally landed on the metal box in Alice's hand.
"Not bad alchemy," Dumbledore said with a smile. "I can see that you are indeed very talented in this area. Maybe after you complete your fifth grade, Hogwarts can consider hiring an alchemist again."
The professor is here to teach you specifically."
"thank you."
Alice saluted Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded with a smile, turned and left the auditorium.
As soon as he walked away, John patted Michelle on the head and said:
"Don't be sad, I'll buy you candy later."
"I'm not sad." Michelle blinked her big eyes and said, "I just wanted to give it a try. Oh, by the way..."
Michelle walked a few steps faster, took Alice's hand and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Alice. Although it didn't succeed, I still want to thank you!"
Facing Michelle's warm smile, Alice did not speak this time, but shook her head with a wry smile.
At the same time, he glanced at John on the side.
I was relieved when I saw that John didn't react much.
She could see it clearly now.
Michelle is John's reverse scale.
John might be able to tolerate her persistent pursuit of him.
But if she puts her mind on Michelle, even if there is even the slightest possibility of having a bad influence on Michelle, John will kill her without hesitation!
Thinking of this, Alice looked at Michelle with a bit more envy.
'What a lucky girl. But you'd better try not to associate with me, otherwise I'm afraid I will be killed by your good brother.'
Sighing, Alice was ready to continue studying the Goblet of Fire.
She is very interested in this high-level magic item.
However, at this moment, Madame Maxime walked into the foyer with a large group of Beauxbatons students.
Under the command of Madame Maxime, the Beauxbatons lined up neatly and threw their names into the Goblet of Fire one by one.
As each name was thrown into the flames, the flames quickly turned red and sparked.
Obviously, this is what should happen if the registration is successful.
It is worth mentioning that every Beauxbatons would look at Alice deeply when they passed by everyone in Hogwarts after dropping the note.
Their eyes and expressions are different.
There is regret and nostalgia, but more importantly, there is disgust and fear.
This also made Alice look increasingly pale and ugly.
Finally, a girl with a scarf wrapped around her head and unable to see her face stopped in front of Alice.
She looked Alice up and down, and then said disdainfully:
"I never expected that a monster like you would be here."
As soon as she opened her mouth, many people present recognized her as the girl who sneered when Dumbledore was speaking last night.
Her voice is so unique, as beautiful as a nightingale.
However, what she said was not so friendly.
"Perhaps I should propose to the principal of Hogwarts to let you leave here." The unknown Beauxbatons girl said calmly, "Your existence is a threat to everyone here. A monster like you is only worthy of
Stay in the wilderness and live alone."
Alice stared coldly at the girl in front of her, as if she was about to get mad.
But before she could say anything, Michelle pulled her behind him.
"I won't allow you to insult my friend like this!"
"Friend? Ha -" the girl seemed to have heard a joke, "You actually treat this monster as a friend? Do you know what will happen if you become her friend?"
Michelle said firmly:
"It's none of your business!"
Hearing this, the girl became a little anxious.
