This is the first time that they have been given the adjective innocent.
"Hey, George, someone actually called us naive." Fred winked at his brother.
"Fred, we should mark this day down and engrave on our tombstones in the future, 'On September 1, 1994, Tom Yoder once said that we were both naive'."
The two laughed together.
Tom watched their performance quietly. Soon, under Tom's caring eyes for mentally retarded children, Fred and George could no longer laugh.
"So Yoder, what exactly are you trying to express?"
Tom sighed and said quietly: "So you two think that the 'impartial referee' invited by Dumbledore will be a living person?"
Fred and George frowned together. They really hadn't thought about this issue. Now that they think about it carefully, the referees really may not be human.
"Wouldn't it be easier to deceive someone if they weren't a human being? Don't forget we have an age-increasing agent——"
"I mean Dumbledore can basically prevent students under the age of seventeen from participating. He just needs to make a list!" Tom interrupted Fred's fantasy.
Yes, there is no need for any magic or referees. As the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has enough time to collect the birth dates of students, and then directly ban those under 17 years old from Hogwarts.
Students can just sign up.
Take Fred as an example. If he makes his biological age reach seventeen through some means and successfully breaks through the first line of age detection defense. After he reports his name, it will trigger the Dumbledore left behind.
Detection mechanism. After final detection, it is found that the applicant Fred Weasley is on the blacklist, and his registration qualification will be automatically cancelled.
This should be the two methods left by Dumbledore. The first one is used to screen the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, and the second one is to get rid of the naughty people in Hogwarts. I want to bypass this
With two lines of defense, you can only look for bugs. For example, tell the Goblet of Fire that the rules have changed this time. There are four schools, and only one person from the fourth school has signed up...
After listening to Tom's explanation, Fred suddenly realized, and then said with great sadness that Dumbledore was cheating!
He used the simplest and most unpretentious way to deprive Fred and George of their qualifications to register.
"This is so unmagical!" George said angrily. In his opinion, Dumbledore broke the tacit understanding between them and used methods that were not honorable.
"Wait, there is still a flaw in that. Dumbledore knows that we are not old enough, but he has no decision-making power, right? According to what Dumbledore said, this referee seems to only select the most suitable person among the registered people.
, so in fact Dumbledore can only prevent us from signing up - in this case, no matter whether the referee is a real person or not, we will have a way to exploit loopholes, and the two of us are masters of exploiting loopholes." Fred still refused to give up.
"For example, in the blacklist you mentioned, George and I could briefly change our names to 'Wesselai' or something like that." George quickly came up with a countermeasure.
Seeing that Fred and George were determined to compete, Tom couldn't say anything and could only let them continue to mess around...
"I don't understand why you must sign up for such a dangerous competition. Didn't you hear what Dumbledore said? Many people died in the competition." Hermione was very worried.
"Indeed, but he also said he would be prepared this year. Besides, there is always an element of adventure in life. George and I sneaked into the Forbidden Forest when we were in the first grade - speaking of Tom,
If you had the chance to sign up, would you participate?" Fred said nonchalantly.
When Hermione heard this, she glanced at the carefree Fred. Somehow, when she saw these two people not acting in a serious manner, Hermione became very angry, as if she was under the influence of Professor McGonagall.
The body is the same.
So she decided to cause trouble for the twins.
"If Tom and Harry can sign up, why do you think the referee will choose someone other than them?"
Fred:!
He thought about it carefully and felt that what Hermione said was correct. If he were to be the referee, he would also choose Tom as the warrior.
Fred and George sighed, Hermione's words almost gave up their idea of competing.
"To be honest, the probability of you becoming a warrior is low, but it is not difficult to make some preparations in advance and gain some benefits in the selection."
Tom's words made Fred prick up his ears. Fred wanted to become a warrior because he was interested in the warrior's super high authority and the bonus of up to a thousand galleons after winning the championship.
Now that there is an opportunity to make money, of course he will not let it go.
"Think about it, everyone seems to be very interested in who can become the Warrior, so why don't you take the opportunity to open a bet? Just bet on who can become the Warrior of Hogwarts, and you two will take a cut."
Tom didn't dare to mention the odds because he was worried that Fred and George were not good enough at mathematics to perform such a complicated operation, and it would be terrible if they ended up like Bagman.
"The key point is later. When the warriors are born, you can immediately make a batch of warrior peripherals and sell them. For example, badges with the warriors' names and cheers, fireworks that can spell out the warriors' names... Also, as mentioned before
The blind box can be put on the agenda." Tom talked eloquently and gave Fred and George a lot of money-making tips. The two nodded repeatedly and wished they could follow Tom back to Ravenclaw Tower.uuReading
After separating from the two of them, Hermione shook her head. She always felt that it was not the right path for students to be too obsessed with business.
"Will you sign up? What if the two of them really find a loophole?" She frowned and stared at Tom, secretly deciding that if Tom really planned to sign up, she would go talk to Professor Flitwick.
Tom shook his head. He had no intention of becoming a warrior, because according to his arrangement, he could play a more interesting role...
After correctly answering the door knocker's question, the wooden door at the entrance to the lounge swung open, revealing the familiar and warm Ravenclaw common room. At this time, it was windy and rainy outside, and the rain slapped on the windows of the tower, setting off the lounge.
Warmer.
Hermione said goodbye to Tom and headed toward the girls' dormitory alone. Tom followed the stairs to his dormitory.
In the dormitory, six four-poster beds are arranged against the wall, with blue curtains hanging above them. Everyone's suitcases have been placed at the foot of their respective beds, which looks very neat. Maybe it was because chatting with Fred wasted too much time.
, Tom's roommates had already climbed into their own beds and closed the curtains to rest. Tom didn't say much, and quietly climbed into his own bed to rest. At this time, he found that the system he had not had for a long time seemed to be
With the beginning of the new semester, there is some new news.
