881 The Top 100 Competition is open for registration
For most students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the hottest topic recently is still the first open class in the school after the start of term, about the magic spell taught by Professor McGonagall - Arrow Deflection.
This spell is extremely difficult, but as Anton used this spell as an example in the 'Night School' to explain in depth how to use our 'memory' to cast spells, many people were rekindled to learn this powerful spell.
hope.
The popularity of this curse has been boosted again.
In fact, this curse has become the hottest topic in the entire magical world.
At the same time, the 'Order of the Phoenix', which invented this curse, has also begun to officially come to the fore, and has great momentum to transform from a 'local civil organization' to an 'international organization', although there is no such clear definition.
Many politically sensitive people are secretly speculating why Dumbledore suddenly brought the Order of the Phoenix to the forefront.
What kind of signal is this powerful old man sending?
It is still unknown today.
The world seems to be changing every moment.
Even Percy Weasley, who was in the Asylum Tower in New York, was arranged by the 'Hut Organization' to return to the UK and was said to be responsible for the connection between the organizers of the 'Top 100 Tournament' and the Ministry of Magic.
Just like that, on the early morning of the last Tuesday of the first month after school started, the little wizards were enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, and the owl postmen flew in with the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet".
After they dropped the newspaper, they flapped their wings and left quickly. Obviously, the Magic Post Office had a heavy workload today and there was no way for them to stop and ask for some snacks.
"Look! The Top 100 Competition is about to begin!"
One person waved the newspaper in his hand and exclaimed. Seeing many people who had not subscribed to the newspaper looking over, he couldn't help but shout more and more proudly.
It wasn't until someone urged him to quickly tell what was written in it that he cleared his throat, shook the newspaper solemnly, and read aloud.
"The 100 Tournament is officially open for registration. The registration address is the Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Sports and Sports, and the 100 Tournament Temporary Office of each country."
"The registration period starts today and ends on Friday, the week before Christmas."
"There are two requirements for registration. The first requirement is to be under 18 years old, and the second requirement is to master the 'arrow deflection' spell."
ps: Those over 18 years old are broadly defined as adult wizards.
"The arrow deflected?" Someone exclaimed, "Isn't this too difficult?"
"Yes." The classmate holding the newspaper shrugged, "The good news is that there is still a long time before Christmas, enough for us to practice. The bad news is that maybe we may never learn this magic in our lifetime."
"Oh, Merlin's sticky stinky socks!"
"Listen carefully!" Seeing everyone starting to discuss among themselves, the classmate couldn't help shouting again, "There's more!"
"The Top 100 Competition is not based on schools. Any wizard who meets these two conditions can participate in the registration! And..."
Not only him, but the whole auditorium on the first floor of the school was buzzing with discussions, and there were boiling sounds everywhere.
Over at the Slytherin table, Draco Malfoy looked around with some pride, not even bothering to read the newspaper on the honor table.
Elegantly brushing his light blond hair, Draco slowly picked up a chicken leg on the plate and took an elegant bite amid the noisy crowd.
He knew what was written inside without even reading it!
Recently, he studied magic with Anton, so he was fortunate enough to participate in the discussions inside the hut, and saw with his own eyes that these contents were discussed bit by bit.
Later, Professor Dumbledore even came to the hut in person and nodded in agreement with the results of everyone's discussion.
You know, in this rule, the idea of requiring everyone to register at the Ministry of Magic of each country was proposed by Draco Malfoy!
Yes, he brought it up!
What an honor!
So proud!
"Huh~huh~"
…
Anton didn't even have a few bites of breakfast before he was hurriedly pulled away by Professor Lockhart.
Lockhart first lay down under the table to operate a magically encrypted box, took out a thick stack of manuscripts, and looked at Anton with red eyes.
"I compiled the content of your class on 'arrow deflection'. Please help me correct it to see if there are any omissions."
"It would be nice to add more content."
Anton was stunned for a moment, "What is this?"
"What to do?" Lockhart's voice became sharp with excitement, "Did I teach you in vain? Anthony Weasley! You need to have a writer's acumen and acumen for the market, do you understand?"
"Do you know what kind of books will sell out as soon as they are released in the next market?"
"After we know what kind of books are coming out, we don't even need to warm up, publicize, or recommend any celebrities..." Lockhart waved his arms vigorously, "Yes, we don't need to do anything, we can easily
Easily won the number one spot on the bestseller list!”
Pa~
The manuscript was slapped on the table hard, and Lockhart's face was so excited that he almost twisted, "The answer is - about the arrow deflection magic!"
"I have been preparing for this since you told me about the registration requirements for the Top 100 Competition."
"Damn it, the Death Eaters and Grindelwald have asked me to do too many things recently, leaving me with not enough time to publish it before the report comes out. This is a big loss!"
Anton carefully avoided Lockhart's saliva, gently pulled out the manuscript on the table, and shrugged, "Okay, okay, market acumen, the first element of a best-selling author, you have said it many times."
"Yes!" Lockhart looked a little anxious and walked around the office.
"I also commissioned Professor McGonagall, Professor Fiennes, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sirius and Professor Lupin to help write their understanding of this curse."
"Now only Professor Lupin has given it to me. Oh, Remus is so good. He wrote to me all night long, but I had to put it off again and again."
"No, I have to urge you later!"
"Especially Professor Flitwick, he has been in a trance these past few days and doesn't know what he is doing!"
Lockhart was muttering something anxiously, but Anton ignored him and picked up the pen on the table and began to revise the contents of the manuscript.
At this moment, the door to the office was rudely opened, and Professor Snape walked in furiously. He first glanced at Anton and then looked at Lockhart with some irritation.
"I heard you! I think I've written it, and I hope you won't bother me again!"
As he spoke, he took out a manuscript and threw it roughly into Lockhart's arms, "There's no next time, understand?"
"Of course!" Lockhart answered excitedly.
He is not afraid of Professor Snape. When he first came to Hogwarts, he even went to recommend a shampoo brand he ran to Snape. Yes, he is that tough!
"Oh haha~" Lockhart quickly flipped through the pages. Although he actually couldn't understand what was said above, it did not affect him from appreciating the manuscript. "Among the people I invited to submit manuscripts, except for Professor Dumbledore,
The one belonging to you, Professor Snape, is what I’m looking forward to the most.”
"Professor Dumbledore?" Snape blinked and looked at Anton who was revising the manuscript. He frowned and looked at the manuscript in Lockhart's hand, wondering whether he should take it back and revise it again?
Maybe there are some places that need to be refined?
"You know, Professor Lockhart, I'm mainly a Potions professor. Although I think I'm extremely good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, sometimes my understanding of this new spell, I think..."
Before Professor Snape finished speaking, he suddenly saw Professor Sirius walking in with a manuscript, and his expression suddenly darkened. "I think my understanding is the best! No one else!"
"Ha~" Professor Sirius sneered, leaned sideways on the lamp stand next to Lockhart, and gracefully waved the manuscript in his hand towards Lockhart, "I don't think so!"
Then, these two people started to quarrel.
Anton was still immersed in revising the manuscript. He was extremely serious about his attitude towards magic. He even took out more parchment from the table and began to add content.
As for the noise around him, he has long been used to it.
From the earliest Pedro and Fiennes, to later Dumbledore and Voldemort, George and Fred, Draco and Harry...
Anton is even used to this kind of quiet practice, his brain is working at full capacity, thinking about extremely in-depth magical knowledge.
Using his theory of studying the book "Wizards are Gods" to examine the 'arrow deflection' curse, he could write too much.
