The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v4 Chapter 67: Twins' Abacus (2 in 1)

Remember [New] in a second! There was an eerie silence in the auditorium as the pumpkin juice in the bottle was spilled on the floor. Tom didn't expect that Professor Moody would be willing to show him the liquid in his jug openly.

After emptying the jug, Moody also pulled off his coat to show that he only had such a jug, and there was no such thing as a jug for drinks and a jug for polyjuice.

"See clearly?" Moody glared at Tom. "Put that thing away when you see clearly!"

Moody felt that his temper had really improved a lot. How could he be pointed at by a magic wand if he was replaced by himself ten years ago? It must be punished for a while before talking.

Tom put away his wand, looking embarrassed. He now realizes that there is a high probability that he has made an own mistake, and the Moody in front of him is a real Mad-Eye.

'Professor Moody, I'm so sorry, I just—'

"Just what? It's thanks to you for thinking it out!" Moody glared at Tom again. When he thought of the assumption Tom said, he couldn't help admiring the imagination of young wizards nowadays. But when I think about it carefully, I feel shuddering again, because this operation seems to be really feasible!

If someone attacked him before he went to Hogwarts, and then used Polyjuice Potion to transform him into his likeness, wouldn't that be able to sneak into Hogwarts? Everyone knew that Mad-Eye Moody only drank from the curved jug, which was convenient for the dark wizard to carry Polyjuice Potion in the jug.

Mad-Eye Moody is suspicious by nature, so ideas that seem absurd to outsiders are of great reference value to him.

So he stood where he was, and after a little thought, he made a decision.

"Okay, you go back to the lounge and sleep, I still have things to do!" Moody waved Tom back to the dormitory. Moody didn't take much notice of Tom's offense to himself. Everyone has a different focus when looking at things. For example, there is a cauliflower snake in a vegetable bag. Some people feel horrible, while others realize that they have meat in their meal. For Moody, Tom's presence in the auditorium tonight may have violated school rules, but the vigilance Tom displayed was something Moody was more concerned about.

Moody is a very sensitive person, and his nerves are tense almost all the time, in order to deal with possible dangers. It made him a little nervous—Moody once smashed a package because he believed it was a basilisk egg, but it turned out to be an alarm clock someone had given him.

But it's normal for him to be a little nervous! Moody is an Auror who has completely experienced the wizard wars! The two points of "experiencing wizard wars" and "Auror" mean that Moody has seen and encountered darkness with his own eyes, which may be more than the sum of what other people have heard in a lifetime.

This character makes Moody appreciate those who have a sense of crisis. In Moody's view, the war is not over yet, and the mysterious man will make a comeback one day, but everyone has already slacked off, indulging in the honeypot of peace and unable to extricate themselves. Moody was disgusted by this, but there was nothing he could do about it. And today, he finally found another good idea at Hogwarts—although it was a bit out of his mind, it was a good thing after all, so he didn't continue to investigate Tom's fault, but let it go lightly.

If Tom had heard Moody's inner drama, he would have yelled outrageously. He wasn't the hyper-vigilant type—at least not as outrageously as Moody thought. Who in a normal person would associate "only drink from a specific kettle" to "this person has been replaced"! This is already persecution paranoia.

He associates it this way only because Voldemort has had enough fun.

Because he didn't know what Moody was thinking, Tom didn't know the reason why Moody let him go so lightly. He thought he would be locked up at least a few times this time. Although he didn't quite understand Mad-Eye's thinking, he still hurried back to the Ravenclaw Tower before Moody changed his mind. At this time, the students had already fallen asleep, and the dormitory echoed with faint snoring. Tom didn't do anything else, he just lay down on his bed, and Tom fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow after a tiring day.

At the same time, in the principal's office, Dumbledore was looking at Moody with a vicissitudes of life: "Alastor, the reason why you stay up late at night is to suggest that I ban the use of opaque liquid containers in Hogwarts." ?”

"Yes, this is a very serious security risk." Moody said seriously.

Dumbledore:  …

Should he be concerned about the mental state of his teachers?

The next day was Saturday. Generally speaking, students would stay in bed until late before eating breakfast, or directly beg a certain "rotating father" in the dormitory to bring breakfast outside the auditorium. But today was different. Many young wizards wished they could get up at dawn, and then quickly ran to the auditorium to gather around the Goblet of Fire.

Watching classmates sign up for the Goblet of Fire is much more attractive than sleeping in. Many people didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and chose to eat bread while watching.

Fred and George were among the group. While yawning, they held a small notebook in their hands, ready to record the applicant's information at all times.

"Here." George pushed a bacon sandwich into Fred's hand.

"Thanks, do we want to remove Durmstrang's option? They already have Krum, I don't think Durmstrang's Warriors can be variable-are they better than Krum? "

"That's right," George nodded. "Everyone doesn't know much about Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, so you must choose the one that is familiar and pleasing to the eye."

Fortunately for Durmstrang, Viktor Krum is famous, and almost everyone has heard of his existence. Beauxbaton is different, who knows what famous student Beauxbaton has! In the end, it must be:

[What's the name of that silver-haired girl? we choose her]

Such a conversation.

George sighed: "It's hard to imagine that the legendary Krum is still a student. He's probably the most famous guy in these three schools, right?"

"Not necessarily," Fred shook his head, "If Harry and Tom can sign up for the competition, they probably won't have a weaker reputation than Krum—of course, our dear brother is also possible, after all, he is a Hogwarts The most outstanding graduates of the past three years'!"

George let out a chuckle, and then said solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Percy Weasley enjoys a very high international reputation because of his strict standards for the thickness of the crucible..."

The two looked at each other, and then laughed.

While the two were having a lively chat, Karkaroff led all Durmstrang students to the Goblet of Fire. Unlike Hogwarts, which played at home, all the students in Durmstrang were over seventeen years old, so they could all sign up.

Looking at the pieces of parchment thrown into the cup one after another, Fred and George tacitly erased Durmstrang from the quiz. They had wanted to have a three-school quiz—not just Hogwarts champions, but also Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, but now they felt it was unrealistic.

After Durmstrang's people left, maybe they were infected by them, Fred and George were a little bit ready to move. From the two of them, cheating the age line does not seem to be a difficult task. This dead thing is best fooled, and a drop of aging agent can solve the problem.

Just as they were about to strike, Fawcett of Ravenclaw House made a beeline for the Goblet of Fire.

"Fred, look!" George noticed something strange, "I remember that Fawcett is not yet seventeen?"

"You remember right, she used 'means'." Fred regained his spirits all of a sudden, he wanted to observe this brave "pioneer" carefully and learn from her experience.

In the eyes of everyone, Miss Fawcett crossed the age line confidently, and then flew out in front of everyone, with a tuft of beard on her chin.

Fred, George:!

The term "kill chickens to scare monkeys" could not be more appropriate here. Both were shocked by Miss Fawcett's fate. But the shock is the shock. How could Fred and George be frightened by this small scene and cancel the plan?

They've just become more cautious.

After Fawcett ran away covering his face, George and Fred analyzed the reasons for Fawcett's failure together.

"Maybe her potion is not working? You know, our potion is not ordinary..."

Facing George's analysis, Fred frowned. He is not 100% sure about this kind of thing. And if such an accident happened, the quiz with prizes planned by the two of them would be greatly affected.

But it's a bit unwilling to stop here.

"Fred, George, you two got up very early today!" A familiar voice sounded behind them, and the two could hear it without looking back. The owner of the voice was their good friend Lee Jordan.

Fred, George: Hey!

The two quickly reached a tacit understanding.

"Li, have you turned seventeen?" Fred asked knowingly. The three of them were very close friends, so how could they not know each other's birthday. Fred knew better than Lee Jordan that he was under seventeen.

Lee Jordan shook his head.

"Neither of us, it's a pity." George continued the conversation.

"Yeah, we are obviously only a few months away..." Lee Jordan looked at the burning Goblet of Fire, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Hooked! Fred and George seemed calm on the surface, but they were actually cheering inwardly.

"If you win the game, you will be rewarded with a thousand Galleons!" Fred said bitterly. These words came from the heart, he and George really needed the thousand Galleons to realize their dreams.

It has to be said that Fred and George belong to the kind of people who are very good at fantasy. He obviously didn't even report his name, but he was already thinking about how to spend the bonus.

Lee Jordan was silent for more than ten seconds, then leaned into Fred's ear, and asked in a low voice, "What can you two do? We can sign up together and share the thousand Galleons equally."

Lee Jordan is also a big brainer.

"We got an aging potion that will make us grow up for a few months—"

"Then why hesitate? Hurry up and sign up!" Lee Jordan's eyes straightened when he heard about such a good thing.

"Okay!" George took out a crystal bottle from his arms and handed it to Lee Jordan.

When Lee Jordan uncorked the bottle and was about to take a sip, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned, stared at Fred and George, and asked suspiciously, "Are you two planning on me?"

Fred's head shook like a rattle.

"No, you must have something to hide from me!" Lee Jordan, who has been with Fred and George for nearly six years, knows how many moles they have on their buttocks, so even if there is no evidence, He still saw through Fred's lie.

"I'm convinced." Fred took a sip of the aging agent in the bottle, and George followed suit, taking a sip with his brother.

"Remember not to drink too much, we only need one drop - are you going to drink it or not?" George shook the crystal bottle impatiently.

"Okay." Although Lee Jordan was still a little confused, Fred and George had personally proved the harmlessness of the potion, so he had nothing to say.

So he took the crystal bottle and drank a small drop of the liquid inside.

The three of them are ready, and now there is only one last step left.

"Are you ready?" Lee Jordan looked at the Goblet of Fire and trembled with excitement. This was a legendary prank. Once successful, he, Fred, and George would be forever remembered as prank kings.

After receiving affirmative answers from his partners, Lee Jordan took a deep breath and crossed the age line on his own initiative under everyone's gaze.

At that moment, Fred even thought that Lee Jordan had succeeded, but in the next second, there was a loud crack in the auditorium, and Lee Jordan was thrown out of the age line, and his jaw popped out. white beard.

Everyone in the hall, including Fred and George, laughed.

Fred and George laughed ~lightnovelpub.net~ and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, Lee Jordan was there to go to thunder for them!

"Damn it, you two bastards!" Seeing Fred and George smiling so happily, Jordan was furious.

"Okay, okay!" George helped Jordan up, and they set off to the hospital with him.

Shortly after the three of them left, Dumbledore arrived on the scene yawning.

"Did I miss out on some fun?" He said in great disappointment, "I thought Fred and George would find a way to break through my age line!"

After learning about Fred and George's showmanship, Dumbledore looked at the age line and thought: Should he design a one-second delay? This is good to catch everyone in one go.

After Lee Jordan's failed effort, one student after another put their names in the Goblet of Fire, and their names were recorded in the little notebook by Tom.
