Chapter 500: age-promoting agent
Chapter 500 Age-increasing agent
By the time the three of them returned to the auditorium, Fred and George had become much more cautious, and after realizing that Fleur had Veela blood, the special attraction seemed to be less exaggerated than it was at first.
However, the two of them still didn't dare to stay beside Furong for too long. After a brief chat, they found an excuse and ran to Li Qiaodan's place.
“Has anyone put a name in?” Fred asked.
"Not yet...wait, Klum is here." Li Jordan said, and he suddenly pointed in the direction of the door.
The Durmstrang students had just walked in across the grounds, their principal walking at the front, next to Krum.
The students gathered around the Goblet of Fire stepped back to let them pass, watching eagerly.
A dozen Durmstrang students lined up, crossed the age line one by one, and threw the parchment with their names on it into the Goblet of Fire. Whenever this time, the blue-white flames would quickly It turns red and sparks burst out.
"You said..." At this time, George walked up to Kyle and lowered his voice: "What if the Goblet of Fire thinks this person is really bad and crumbles his name into a ball and throws it out."
Kyle thought about the scene and couldn't help but laugh: "Then the whole school will probably be happy for a whole year."
They looked at the Goblet of Fire subconsciously.
But until the last person threw the parchment in, the expected picture did not appear.
Fred seemed a little disappointed.
"Perhaps it's because they are old enough." George said after thinking for a while.
The two of them ran to the side and started whispering, not knowing what they were discussing.
"Leave them alone," Connor said to Fleur. "Have you brought the parchment?"
“I brought it with me.” Fleur withdrew her gaze and nodded: “But I need to wait for Ms. Maxim…oh, she’s here.”
While talking, people from Beauxbatons also walked into the auditorium.
Fleur hurriedly ran over, and under Maxim's arrangement, she and others put the parchment strips with names on them into the Goblet of Fire.
Fleur originally wanted to stay here, but Maxim seemed to have something to say, so she had no choice but to leave with him.
At this time, only Hogwarts students were left in the auditorium.
“Am I late?” Cedric’s voice came from behind.
“As long as it’s before evening, it’s not too late.” Kyle turned around and said, “Have you already written your name?”
"Actually, it was written last night." Cedric took out a neatly cut piece of parchment with the words "Cedric Diggory - Hogwarts" written on it.
The note template has been posted on the door of the common room long ago, just follow it.
“Where are you guys, are you ready?” Cedric asked, “We can join in together.”
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud cracking sound suddenly came from next to the Goblet of Fire.
A figure seemed to be playing the role of Quaffle, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground ten feet away.
“Ouch!”
Ron rolled on the ground holding his arms, there was another crackling sound, and a messy white beard grew on his chin.
People around him burst into laughter, and even Harry, who had just run over to help Ron up, couldn't hold back his laughter.
"I told you a long time ago..." Hermione looked at Ron, who was covering his face and refusing to get up, and said, "Professor Dumbledore will definitely think of something like an age-enhancing agent, but you just don't believe it."
Harry had a bit of joy on his face and quietly stuffed the bottle in his pocket.
Fortunately, he hesitated just now, otherwise he would probably be lying on the ground by now.
“It seems it has nothing to do with age.” Fred and George ran over to them at some point. Needless to say, what happened just now must have something to do with them. “Ron bought two bottles of age-enhancing pills from us last night,” Fred explained.
said George. "I knew he would definitely try to throw his name in, but I didn't expect him to be so anxious. …"
“Although I didn’t see the Goblet of Fire throwing Ron’s name out…”
“But Ron with a beard would be nice too…”
The two of them laughed so hard that they couldn't stand upright.
When Qiu also walked into the auditorium, Cedric said impatiently: "Let's go quickly too!"
"I've thought so for a long time." Fred said with a smile, and then he was the first to walk over.
Seeing them, the people around them immediately made way for them, just like the people who saw Beauxbatons and Durmstrang before.
Fred was the first to cross the age line, followed closely by George, then Cedric, Autumn, Connor...
Kyle was the last one. When he also crossed the age line and put the parchment in his hand into the Goblet of Fire, excited cheers suddenly came from around him.
Hufflepuff students shouted particularly energetically, cheering Kyle and Cedric loudly.
“Why is no one calling our names?” George said dissatisfiedly. “Are all the Gryffindors sleeping in?”
The Gryffindors in the auditorium all turned their heads silently, pretending not to hear.
The best candidate in their minds is Angelina Johnson who hasn’t come yet.
Only Li Qiaodan shouted twice to show dignity, but that was all. When Angelina walked into the auditorium, his cheers were obviously much louder than before.
This made Fred and George so angry that they chased him and tried to beat him.
At this time, Ron, who was holding an ostrich on the ground, was also pulled up. Harry was going to take him to the school hospital to see if there was any way to remove the beard.
Hermione, who was walking at the back, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the Goblet of Fire.
Harry also noticed her behavior and quickly reminded: "Wait a minute Hermione, don't you want to grow a beard too? This is no joke..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth opened in surprise.
Because Hermione directly crossed the age line and successfully threw her name into the Goblet of Fire.
"You had a way to cheat me out of my age money, but you didn't tell us!" Ron said angrily: "You probably think it's fun to see me make a fool of myself."
"I don't think it's fun to break the rules at all!" Hermione said with a straight face, "I just turned fifteen last month."
"What?" Ron was stunned. He remembered that Hermione's birthday was September 19th, but his birthday was in March. Even he couldn't do it. Why could Hermione...
"Actually, I'm one year older than you." Hermione continued: "If I could have been born twenty days earlier, I would be in fifth grade now.
this…
Harry and Ron looked at each other. They had always thought Hermione was younger than them.
A flash of envy flashed in Ron's eyes, "It's great, you can participate in the Triwizard Tournament..."
"Don't be stupid, I don't think I can be chosen." Hermione said, "I just don't want to miss this grand event. I'm participating in it by voting my name, isn't it?"
"Come on, I hope Madam Pomfrey can help you get rid of these beards before the Halloween dinner...unless you want to bring them to the party."
Not just Hermione, most of them basically have the same ideas as her.
On Saturday, almost all fifth-year students at Hogwarts and above, including a small number of fourth-year students, threw their names into the Goblet of Fire.
