Chapter 573: Moody's Practical Lesson
Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night.
Whether it's the restart of the Triwizard Tournament to select new warriors after two hundred years, or the names of the Dark Lord and a group of Death Eaters spit out from the Goblet of Fire...these are enough to make the wizards attending the meeting unforgettable for a lifetime!
After Madam Maxim gradually calmed down, she actually felt fine.
Anyway, Dumbledore has guaranteed the safety of Beauxbaton's students, and her only headache now is which ones should be allowed to participate in this competition.
In comparison, Karkaroff felt very uncomfortable, and his excited hands were still shaking.
He wasn't worried about the safety of his students at all, it was none of his business whether they died or not, but he was afraid of those Death Eaters who were coming to him for revenge.
Malfoy said that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, which was disgraceful at best, but Karkaroff had betrayed many "colleagues" back then. In plain language, he was called a traitor!
Among the Death Eaters, the family law for dealing with traitors is terrible!
Karkaroff wants to know now, who planned this conspiracy, and then secretly killed the other party by eating a big melon from Avada.
In fact, not only Karkaroff, but also historians of magic in later generations, when studying this case, were also very curious about who manipulated the Goblet of Fire and selected the Dark Lord and Death Eaters as warriors.
Some people doubted Voldemort, some speculated about Karkaroff, and some even thought that Dumbledore was the most suspicious...
Of course, some people say that Rolf Scamander is behind the scenes. The source of this view comes from Ron Weasley in his later years.
He claimed that Rove helped him and Harry Potter become warriors back then, and naturally Rove made the Death Eaters' names appear in the Goblet of Fire!
But the long-retired Quidditch star Krum reprimanded Ron in an interview, saying that he deliberately discredited the great Scamander just because he lacked money, so that he could sell new books and earn some pitiful pensions. gold.
These two former warriors talked about it in their later years.
However, the public basically agrees with Krum, after all, how could the greatest wizard of all time - Rolf Scamander - do such a "thief shouting "stop thief" thing!
Definitely Weasley's slander!
All in all, tonight was indeed a great victory for the Hufflepuff students, regardless of what may be said in years to come.
After the dinner, Rove followed the Hufflepuff students and returned to the lounge.
The boy just entered the room, and the little badgers, who had been keeping quiet all this time, could no longer hold back their excitement and made a deafening noise.
Everyone came over to shake Rove's hand and congratulate him on being a warrior.
Neville and Hannah got a bed sheet from somewhere, on which a badger pattern was conjured up by magic, and they also wrapped the sheet around Rove.
There were also little wizards who went to the kitchen and brought fragrant food for everyone to share supper.
Not only Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw College also held a lively celebration party.
Only Slytherin House - the joy is theirs, the little snake has nothing - is the quietest house.
They do have warriors, more than any other school, but those warriors are wizards like Lucius who have graduated for many years... What a celebration!
Malfoy even wrote a letter overnight, asking why his father robbed his "wife".
The celebrations of the three colleges only lasted for a few days, and they couldn't go on any longer. It wasn't that the novelty was gone, but that the homework was more heavy recently than the previous few weeks.
In the Transfiguration class, when everyone couldn't help complaining again, Professor McGonagall said sternly: "Your O.W.Ls exam is approaching..."
"We don't take our O.W.Ls until fifth grade," McMillan muttered. "It's only fourth grade."
"To be precise, it's the first semester of the fourth grade, and it's already halfway through. Rounding up, it's halfway through the fourth grade."
Professor McGonagall's eyes, shining majestically behind Fang Fang's glasses, cried out:
"At your level, if you don't work hard from now on, you won't be able to get the certificate at all."
"And there will be a Triwizard Tournament this semester. A lot of your energy will be concentrated on the competition, and we need to assign more homework."
Under such pressure, Defense Against the Dark Arts became the only course that all students looked forward to, because Professor Moody said:
I want to take everyone to the forbidden forest and magical creatures... practice!
On Wednesday morning, after the herbal medicine class, the Hufflepuff students hurriedly left the greenhouse and headed for the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, regardless of the dirt on their bodies.
Carrying the suitcase, Rove entered the classroom and saw that the Ravenclaw students had arrived.
Shirley sat in the first row as usual, but to Rove's surprise, the seat next to the girl was actually taken by someone.
Rove walked over, raised his eyebrows, and asked in doubt: Gabriel, why are you here, not with your sister? "
"My sister is in class." Gabriel imitated Furong, flicked her long silver hair, and said with a bright smile, "I'm here to find you."
Rove sat on the chair and said softly: "But I have to go to class soon, so I can't play with you."
"It's okay." Gabriel shook her head and said triumphantly:
"I went to ask Professor Dumbledore specifically, and he said that I can sit in on any class, as long as I don't make trouble and stay quiet, I won't be kicked out by the teacher."
Rove had nothing to say now. Gabriel was only nine years old, and it was also unrealistic for her to sit in on the first grade class.
He glanced at the girl with ponytails again, and asked, "What were you two talking about just now?"
"We were talking about a Bowtruckle." Shirley laughed. "Gabrielle was just asking me how to trim its overlong nails."
The girl with ponytail said, raising her arms. On her palm, there was a green Bowtruckle. It poked its head out and looked at Rove in fear with brown eyes the size of rice grains.
Rove didn't know this Bowtruckle, he asked curiously, "Where did you get it?"
"It's mine." Gabriel's little face was filled with joy, she grinned and said:
"Rove, have you forgotten? Last year on the Mayflower, you gave me a seed, saying that after it was planted, seven little Bowtruckles would grow in the coming year, and they lined up to call me sister..."
Rove was a little ashamed, he had indeed forgotten about it.
But he gave earbuds back then, and it was impossible to grow Bowtruckles... It seems that Fleur helped Gabriel get them.
As expected of a good sister!
At this moment, Professor Moody walked in quickly, and his prosthetic leg was on the ground, making a thumping sound.
"Hurry up and come downstairs with me, today is the practical class, I'm going to take you to the Forbidden Forest!"
The students stood up excitedly and walked out of the classroom, finally going to have a real fight with the magical creature!
