Chapter 495: upcoming guests
Chapter 495 The coming guests
The news of the Triwizard Tournament spread rapidly in the castle, and in just one night, people forgot about Sirius.
The topics that were originally talked about by everyone became obsolete overnight. In the next week, everyone was talking about the Triwizard Tournament.
The most popular among them is the candidate for the warrior.
Each house has their champion candidates.
Drian Pusey of Slytherin.
Robert Anders of Ravenclaw.
Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor...Although Fred and George have repeatedly stated that they are the real candidates for the Warriors, in fact, their combined supporters do not have half as many supporters as Angelina.
Different from other colleges, Hufflepuff has two people with the highest voices.
Those who support Kyle and Cedric each account for one-third, and the remaining ones are too entangled and change camps every day.
However, the Hufflepuffs did not oppose each other or argue about anything. In their opinion, no matter who became the warrior, Kyle or Cedric, it would be a happy thing.
On the weekend, Fred and George went to Hogsmeade early in the morning and bought a lot of things from Zuko.
In their words, this is a secret weapon prepared for the Triwizard Tournament.
Keir has reason to suspect that if one of them really becomes a warrior, the Big Dung Egg will definitely become an indispensable help to them.
Professor McGonagall's expression will definitely be wonderful...
As time passed, the atmosphere in the castle became more and more intense. Everyone was curious about what the students from the other two schools were like.
In addition, in order to welcome the guests who are coming from afar, the castle also underwent a major cleaning.
Several dirty portraits were wiped clean, and the armor in the corridor became so shiny that it could even be used as a mirror, which they were not used to.
Several times, Kyle saw pieces of armor lying on the ground, trying to get some dust on them, but within ten minutes, they would be wiped clean again by Filch with a clean flannel.
Filch has become even more annoying than usual lately, lashing out at anyone whose soles are not wiped clean or even dusty.
The professors also seemed extremely nervous.
Elite students from both schools, including the principals, will come to Hogwarts. This is the first time they have experienced this kind of battle after serving for many years.
In this tense atmosphere, one week passed quickly.
On the morning of October 30th, when Kyle went downstairs for dinner, he found that the auditorium had also been decorated, with huge silk flags hung on the walls. It looked like it was used when the Academy Cup was awarded.
But at that time, there was only one college flag, but now there are four. The banner behind the guest of honor seat has also been replaced by the Hogwarts school emblem, with a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake united together, surrounding a big letter. " H".
As soon as Kyle and Connor sat down at the table, someone immediately came up to ask him if he was confident...
In response to this, Kyle could only tell them over and over again that today was just to welcome guests from the other two schools, and the warrior election was another time.
He has said these words no less than twenty times since he got up in the morning.
"I've never seen anything like this..." Kangna poured Kyle a glass of pumpkin juice. "It seemed like the whole castle was tense. Last night, Tian spent an hour choosing hair accessories, only to get up again in the early morning. Once again."
“After all, this is an event that has been suspended for a century, so it is inevitable that everyone will be excited.” Kyle took a sip of pumpkin juice. The situation in his dormitory was similar. Mikel and Ryan kept chatting with him until two o'clock in the morning. Normally, they would only be so energetic when school started to make up for homework.
“Good morning…” Cedric came too.
He yawned loudly as soon as he sat down, and it was obvious that he had not rested well.
“Kyle, do you know Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?” he asked.
"We know each other fairly well." Kyle thought for a while and said, "Isn't Krum a student of Durmstrang? We have already met him during the Quidditch World Cup. He will definitely come back this time. I guess He will also become the last warrior."
“Oh, yes, Krum...” Cedric raised his head and said.
Viktor Krum’s aura in Quidditch was so dazzling that he always forgot that the other person was still a student who had not yet graduated.
But as for Kyle saying that Krum would become Durmstrang's champion... Cedric didn't care much.
So what about Quidditch stars? The Triwizard Tournament is not about who can ride a broom better.
"What about Beauxbatons..." he continued to ask: "Although I have seen that school before, it was a holiday and there was no one inside."
“I know the principal of Beauxbatons, Madam Maxime.” Kyle said.
"What, the principal of Beauxbatons?" Cedric suddenly became interested, "What kind of person is she? Is she the same as Principal Dumbledore?"
“She is much younger.” Kyle put a slice of fried egg on his bread. “I dare say you will be surprised when you see her for the first time.”
“Is she great?” Kangna asked curiously.
"That's for sure, she is the principal of Beauxbatons after all." Kyle said, "But what I want to say has nothing to do with strength, but that you will be surprised the first time you see her."
Cedric and Connor became more curious, but Kyle did not continue.
“You will know by then, and there will be less surprises if you tell me now.” It’s Hogwarts’ tradition, and he knows it too.
Cedric felt itching with hatred. He finally understood how Fred and George felt on the train...it was really uncomfortable.
No one could concentrate on the class in class that day. There was a joyful mood of anticipation permeating the classroom. Even the professor was always absent-minded.
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked them to review what they had learned before and severely corrected everyone's mistakes.
“This is fourth grade content, and some people are still making mistakes!” By the time the get out of class was about to end, Professor McGonagall was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She was a little worried that if the students at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang found out, they would think there was something wrong with her teaching ability.
The following Charms class is also a review.
Professor Flitwick summarized some magic spells that are often used in life, and then took the trouble to let them practice for two lessons.
The only thing that is not affected by external factors is probably the history of magic.
This class is like this, let alone a small Triwizard Tournament. Even if Voldemort will join forces with the Ministry of Magic to attack Hogwarts this afternoon, as long as the school is not on holiday, they will still have to recite the time and place of the Giant War in the classroom.
