When Ryan was bowing his hands to the classmates cheering for him, a low and smiling voice came from beside him. "Ah, Mr. Liang, this alchemy product you made is quite good."
Ryan turned his head and saw Professor Dumbledore walking through the crowd. Everyone made way for Dumbledore.
"Can you show me this interesting thing?" Dumbledore asked, pointing to the crystal ball on the ground.
"Of course, it's my honor." After saying this, Ryan bowed and picked up the crystal ball on the ground, then held it in both hands and handed it to Dumbledore.
"Oh, this crystal ball is really cleverly made." Dumbledore said after carefully observing the crystal ball for a while, "You use this crystal ball to let those magic words invade into the age line I drew, and then put
List yourself as an exempt target. To be honest, even at your age, I couldn’t make such a thing. It seems that your Merlin Level 2 Medal is not just a fluke, Mr. Liang.”
"Thank you for the compliment." Ryan lowered his head slightly to show respect for the principal.
"I drew this age line to try not to let people with insufficient skills participate in the competition and be in danger. But for people like Ryan who have broken through the age line on their own, I will also admit that he is capable enough to cope with the competition and can have
Opportunity to participate in this Warriors campaign."
After announcing the news to everyone, Dumbledore turned to Ryan and said: "But your crystal ball needs to be kept with me until the Goblet of Fire selects the warriors tomorrow, because I cannot allow those who are not strong enough for safety reasons.
of people participate in this competition.”
After watching Dumbledore leave with Ryan's crystal ball, a group of classmates immediately gathered around and asked about Ryan's actions just now. They expressed their sincere envy that Ryan had mastered alchemy at this age.
After learning that it was impossible to make a second crystal ball of his within a short period of time, he felt a little frustrated. It took a long time for Ryan to squeeze out of the crowd, but as soon as he reached the door, he was intercepted by Hermione.
Because Hermione really wanted to know how the crystal ball was made.
Soon the news spread throughout the school. When he and Hermione came out of the empty classroom to have lunch after finishing their discussion, Ryan noticed many people pointing at him in the distance. But the strange thing was that even if
Almost everyone knew this news, but the principals of the other two schools did not protest on the excuse of insufficient age like they did when Harry was selected.
It wasn't until Ryan took the time to carefully review the plot when he sat down at the table to eat that he discovered that the reason why the two principals protested against Harry was because there was an extra player in Hogwarts that was disadvantageous to them, and age was just an excuse.
In this current situation where everyone is supposed to be the same player, they wish Hogwarts would send out younger warriors.
Because today is a holiday, Ryan decided to visit Wolf in the afternoon. After all, as a friend, we can't let him (the wolf) spend the holiday alone.
So after making contact through the Emerald Dream, Ryan and Hermione set off for the Forbidden Forest together around one o'clock in the afternoon. Theoretically, since the Forbidden Forest prohibits students from entering, no one usually comes to this area, but today it sounded like
Somewhat noisy.
When Ryan and the others walked a few steps further, they finally discovered the source of the frolicking: a huge pink-blue carriage had stopped two hundred yards away from the main entrance of Hagrid's hut. Beauxbatons students
They were moving around the carriage. The huge elephant-like flying horses pulling the carriage were drinking wine from the water tank in a temporary enclosure next to the carriage.
Ryan smiled knowingly when he saw this scene. At this distance, if Hagrid did nothing inside, Ryan would never believe it. But this is also normal. As an old bachelor who is nearly sixty years old, he is pursuing his own destiny.
There is nothing wrong with happiness, especially for half-giants, sixty is just their middle age.
After bypassing the carriage far away, Ryan finally arrived at the familiar location in the Forbidden Forest.
"The cheese pumpkin balls and cupcakes at Hogwarts are still a little too sweet." Wolf complained a little while eating the Halloween gifts sent by Ryan and the others, and then said: "By the way, Betty's due date is at the end of this month.
.You must come when the memorial tree is planted after the child is one month old."
"Plant a commemorative tree?" Ryan didn't quite understand the customs of the centaurs.
"Similar to your human baptism, centaurs believe in nature, so they will plant a tree in the forest behind the altar to announce the birth of a new member to nature. If you were not young, senior and unmarried, Betty would have
Let you be the child's godfather. After all, it was because you killed the dark wizard that this child could be born."
"So, can Hermione go?" Ryan glanced at Hermione who was looking at him longingly, then turned around and asked.
"It should be possible. We will welcome this kind of ceremony as long as anyone has blessings. Let alone if she is your partner." Wolfe blurted out without hesitation.
Hearing this, Hermione turned her head to the other side in embarrassment, as if looking at the birds on the tree, but she did not refute Wolfe's words.
Afterwards, they began to talk about their recent experiences. After learning that Ryan had signed up for the Triwizard Tournament, Wolfe told him that the centaurs elders once said that most of the Triwizard Tournament would involve fighting giant beasts. Traditionally, these
The behemoth will be placed in the Forbidden Forest in advance, so he will notify Ryan after confirming the type of behemoth.
"Listening to what you said, I think you are quite confident in my choice." Ryan said while scratching Wolf's back as he requested.
"Of course." Wolfe turned his head to face Ryan. "Because I have fought alongside you, and I think your courage and strength are enough to become a warrior of Hogwarts."
When we chatted until about three o'clock in the afternoon, raindrops began to fall from the sky. Ryan and the others could only say goodbye to Wolfe, then put the hoods of their robes on their heads and hurried back to the castle.
When they returned to the common room, it was already raining heavily. Ryan and Hermione sat by the warm fire, listening to the raindrops tapping on the glass window, each holding a book and reading quietly.
At dinner time, Ryan and a large group of Gryffindor classmates went to the auditorium. At this time, the auditorium was full of people, and the Goblet of Fire had been removed from the entrance hall. It was now placed on Dumbledore's seat on the staff table.
It is obvious from the front that the registration time has closed now, and we are just waiting to select the real contestants.
"Whether it's you or Angelina, I hope our school's champion is a Gryffindor." Fred said when Ryan and Hermione sat down.
From the discussions among his surrounding classmates, Ryan discovered that there were many people who were optimistic about him. On the one hand, both Ryan's Merlin Level 2 Medal and the way he crossed the age line this morning reflected his strength, which gave many people confidence.
On the other hand, Ryan is a member of Gryffindor House no matter what, so everyone will naturally support the people of this house.
Amid noisy discussions, food appeared on the long table. The Halloween party began.
