The next morning, the Hogwarts Express left the train station as scheduled.
Tom announced good news to Hermione.
"Professors Flitwick and McGonagall decided to help us apply for the right to use the Time Turner for another semester!"
For a project like this that has already been approved, the chance of applying again will be higher, so it is already a certainty for Tom and Hermione to hold the time turner for another semester.
The train takes eight hours to arrive in London. During this period, Tom and Hermione prefer to play wizard chess to kill time. When they are tired from playing wizard chess, they can also play small games such as crackling exploding cards to relax.
Just as Hermione's chess pieces were pressing forward step by step, almost surrounding Tom's main force, and they were eating it in one bite, there was a strange noise outside the car window, and a big golden-red bird appeared elegantly with a letter.
Outside the carriage, the train was flying up and down.
It's Phoenix Fox!
Tom quickly opened the window and invited this incredible messenger in. Fox placed a letter in front of Tom and raised his head proudly. The envelope was written in Dumbledore's unique cursive script.
"Dumbledore is so cautious... he actually asked the phoenix to deliver the message." Tom sighed at Dumbledore's luxury.
Dumbledore chose to ask Phoenix to deliver the message, firstly to ensure speed, and secondly to ensure safety. Of course, Fox's cooperation was indispensable.
Tom took the opportunity to push the wizard's chess board aside, opened the envelope and read it.
The first half of the letter was about Dumbledore communicating with Tom, telling him that the plan had begun and the "actors" had been arranged. The second half was a bit magical. Dumbledore told Tom that the Triwizard Tournament would usher in the next school year.
He gave Tom a detailed introduction to the origin, purpose and process of the Triwizard Tournament, and attached the letter with the project he conceived for the Triwizard Tournament.
Dumbledore wrote in the letter: [The Sorcerer's Stone Guardian level you planned before was very exciting, so this time I hope you can continue your efforts and put forward some suggestions for improvement]
"What was written in Dumbledore's letter?" Hermione's curiosity was aroused. She wanted to know what kind of letter Dumbledore sent using the phoenix.
"There will be a grand event at Hogwarts next year, and Dumbledore would like to get some advice from me." Tom looked at the letter in his hand while looking for words to respond to Hermione.
Ever since Tom mastered the power of Dementors, Tom's status in Dumbledore's heart has been greatly elevated. Coupled with his previous conversation with Dumbledore, Dumbledore completely put Tom in a position to compete with him.
positions at the same level.
Now Tom is not only a student at Hogwarts, but also the spokesperson of an important force in the wizarding world. If Dumbledore wants to destroy Voldemort, he needs to work together with Tom. After all, it was Tom who came up with this plan...
However, asking Tom to come up with the project for the Triwizard Tournament was indeed a bit unexpected. Tom suspected that Dumbledore wanted to fish, but he had no evidence.
"Grand party?" Hermione was attracted by the word, hoping to get some information from Tom. Hermione didn't quite understand, but Tom seemed to have suddenly become more powerful. Even Professor Dumbledore wanted to get advice from him. This feeling
It was like being shocked when we were studying together and suddenly got a perfect score in the exam.
"Are you sure you want to know? There's no sense of surprise if you know it in advance." Tom doesn't like spoilers. In his opinion, spoilers are like playing a game and learning the content of the next version from the insider in advance, which can satisfy him.
curiosity, but excessive spoilers will overdraw your interest in the game.
"Just tell me a little bit!" Hermione couldn't suppress her inner curiosity at all. The desire for knowledge was rolling in her heart, like a naughty kitten, licking the soft flesh of her waist crazily.
"Okay, let me reveal a little bit...next semester, students from other magic schools will come to Hogwarts!"
"Really?"
"Definitely, definitely and definitely."
"What schools are those?"
"Guess~which schools do you want?"
"Let me think about it... Ouagadu in Africa, and Castrobushe in Brazil! It is said that the wizards in Ouagadu are very good at casting spells without a wand, and are also good at Animagus transformation. The Cass in the rainforest
Trobshall is a school with as long history as Hogwarts, so if these two schools come here, I will definitely look forward to it!"
Tom:……
Then you may be disappointed.
Fox, who was on the side, saw that Tom had not replied to the email for a long time, and he cried out in dissatisfaction, and then Tom was allowed to concentrate on replying to the email.
The rules of the Triwizard Tournament are not complicated. Each of the three participating schools selects a warrior. The three warriors compete in three magic projects. They are scored according to the quality of their completion of each project. The one with the highest overall score in the three projects
The warrior wins. They will test the warrior's magical talent, courage, reasoning ability and ability to overcome danger in all aspects.
Dumbledore's idea of the Triwizard Tournament project is actually not much different from the original world line project. The first project is the fire dragon. The warriors must try their best to obtain a golden egg from the fire dragon, and the egg contains the second project.
Tips. The second project is carried out in the Black Lake of Hogwarts. The warriors have to fish out the person they cherish from the bottom of the Black Lake. As for the third project, it is still a maze, but this time
There are some magical stone guardian levels stuffed into the sub-maze - magic potion puzzles, moving stone sculptures and the like.
From Tom's point of view, there doesn't seem to be a big problem, it's just that the audience's participation is too low!
The first event was okay, the audience could at least watch the whole process - but that wasn't necessarily the case. After Harry flew away from the competition venue on his broom, the audience couldn't see anything. The second and third events were even more outrageous: a
Under water and one in a maze, can the audience really see the competition?!
Do you want everyone to stay outside the castle for two hours? Then Tom would rather cook a barbecue in the lounge leaning against the fireplace.
These projects needed major changes! It was clearly Party B, but Tom showed the momentum of Party A. He decided to take the initiative to modify the plan.
Tom chewed his quill and thought for a moment, and came up with an idea. He moved the wizard's chess board to the side, and then he started writing furiously at his desk.
About half an hour later, Tom had written three new projects. He sealed the parchment and handed it to Fox.
Fox: Snap!
The phoenix actually flapped him with its wings! It refused to receive the letter.
Tom:?
Try again, snap again.
Tom frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple. He thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: This bird is asking for a bribe!
He took out two pieces of basilisk jerky from his bag, and Fox swallowed them in one gulp. Satisfied, Fox took Tom's letter and flew away.
