The convenience of magic can be reflected in various aspects.
For example, although Ani had been watching Harry walk into Gryffindor Tower, when he walked into the tree house more than ten kilometers away, there was still a wooden door between the boy and his bed.
The dormitory was dark, and the friends were all lying on their beds, chatting away——
Except for Neville, the fat boy always slept soundly. When Harry opened the door and walked in, Toad Laifu was inflating and retracting its air bag in accordance with his master's snoring, looking like he wanted to follow but didn't dare to snort twice.
The halo of "savior" has long been covered by the filter of being together day and night. Harry's return did not cause any ripples in the dormitory, and everyone continued to talk about it just now.
"...Hey, Ron, is this true?"
Dean's sharp low cry suddenly started, startling Harry who was quietly groping towards the bed, and almost hit the railing.
But Laifu on the other side really jumped up, and the frightened toad suddenly disappeared. Neville rubbed his cheek that had been kicked hard, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Harry followed the sound and saw that the light was too dark to notice Dean, but there were a few white spots hanging on the bed, which seemed to be the reflection of the wind chimes.
Feeling the gathered gazes, Dean covered his mouth in embarrassment, but the news just now really shocked him.
"Ron, is this year's Quidditch Cup really canceled?"
Dean asked in a low voice again, the white reflection looming -
Only then did Harry realize that Dean had been sitting on the bed, and what was reflected was not the wind chime, but his teeth that were sometimes covered.
Filch would definitely not be able to catch him on a night tour.
Of course, the premise is that Dean has to take off his clothes and shut up.
The boy thought a little vaguely, but when he realized the content of Dean's words, Harry instantly lost his mind to think about other things.
"The Quidditch Cup is cancelled? Oh, Ron, tell me that's not true!"
Although he had various thoughts in his mind a second ago, after hearing the words Quidditch Cup cancelled, Harry just wanted to hear a negative answer.
"It's just a rumor. After you were picked up by Black that day, Mr. Diggory came to see Dad. They mentioned it during their conversation. It seems that there is a big event in the school this year and there is no time to hold the Quidditch Cup."
Seeing that everyone was paying close attention to this topic, Ron told everything he knew.
"Don't worry, Harry, if there really won't be a Quidditch Cup this year, Dumbledore would have announced it at the welcome party."
Seamus comforted Harry, and then muttered again, "Digory...Digory...the captain of Hufflepuff also has this surname."
"Well, yes, Mr. Diggory is Cedric's father. Maybe we can go over and ask him tomorrow."
Ron confirmed Seamus's guess. The night gradually deepened, and as sleepiness surged, the boys quickly fell asleep.
When they got up the next day, they agreed to go to Cedric to inquire about the news after breakfast. However, as soon as they stepped into the auditorium, they found a familiar figure sitting on the teacher's bench.
It's Ludo Bagman, and many people here have just met him not long ago.
The little wizards whispered, guessing the visitor's purpose. Bagman sat on the temporarily added seat next to Dumbledore, but he had no intention of negotiating anything, and just enjoyed the food.
Compared with his eye-catching appearance during the World Cup, Bagman today is much more low-key.
In other words, it's too "simple".
There was no way, Ludo didn't have much money after the World Cup. This breakfast at Hogwarts was the best meal he had in several days.
After the meal, Ani went to teach the students as usual, and Bagman continued to follow Dumbledore to the principal's office in silence.
"Ani, is this year's Quidditch Cup cancelled?"
After lunch, Aini had just returned to the office when someone followed him to inquire about the news.
"It's possible, but the probability of playing as usual is higher."
Ani said to Hermione in front of him. He remembered that the girl had no interest in this school sport since she came into contact with the magic pattern.
"Yesterday Aaliyah and Angelina kept asking me questions, and they didn't leave until late at night, as if I had some inside information."
Hermione lazily took a nap. If she had known she would not have gone back to the dormitory yesterday, she would have gone to sleep in the office.
"We were originally scheduled to jointly host the Triwizard Tournament with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, but due to some things, it will probably be postponed."
While speaking, Aini stretched out his hands, and the robe obediently came down, floated to the hanger and hung up.
"The Triwizard Tournament? It has not been held for more than a hundred years. Is it because of the World Cup attack?"
When she first heard about the Triwizard Hegemony, the little witch's eyes lit up, and then she showed a bit of pity. This was a grand event that had not happened in a century, and it was good to experience it.
"It doesn't matter much, mainly because Hogwarts is too powerful."
Aini shook his head. Not to mention influence, but in terms of strength alone, almost every magic school is a leader in the local area, and the mere village bandits can't scare them away when they cause trouble.
"Strong? Oh, I know."
Through the experience in the academy, the girl's clever little brain has already been written into many new programs, and the key is understood with just a click.
The so-called Triwizard Hegemony, to put it bluntly, is to flex your muscles, step down others and lift yourself up.
In the original trajectory, thanks to Dumbledore's wise leadership, students' performance went from bad to worse, especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is the main combat force. They had to rely on the examiners to make things look better, and then gave Booth the
Patton and Durmstrang challenged the courage and desire.
A prestigious school that can defeat the Chief Mage of the Wizengamot will definitely boost the reputation of the winner.
In particular, the three schools are in a competitive relationship, and their enrollment ranges overlap greatly. The winner can easily turn his reputation into tangible benefits.
When the time comes, the rich will get richer, and those who are stable will be in the leading position.
However, the concepts of one great wizard and three great wizards sitting in charge are very different. Hogwarts has opened a huge gap with them in the upper-level competition.
In the magical world, where power belongs to individuals, the strong mentality is even worse than in the Muggle world. For people in the family, Hogwarts, which has multiple great wizards, is extremely attractive, and the news of Aini's promotion to the great wizard spread.
After that, the list of new students recruited had some changes from the original track, and this time there were double-digit new students.
Coupled with Mr. Riddle's persistence in sending people to "trouble" in the past few years, the students' performance has been greatly improved, especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one step at a time.
Maybe... Voldemort should be awarded an [Alumni Special Contribution Award]?
