The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 286: People who signed up
Before dawn the next morning, Link was awakened by the greasy touch on his face.
He opened his eyes and sighed a little helplessly, and then he pulled Ark down, who was walking back and forth on his face.
"Are there any gains?"
Link whispered in a snake-like voice.
"According to your instructions, I and two Sgard dogs stayed overnight near the Goblet of Fire." Arkham said dissatisfiedly, "We did run into several sneaking out in the middle of the night and throwing them into the Goblet of Fire. The guy with the note, but didn’t see what you said, who wanted to do something to the Goblet of Fire. Don’t say it, let me go back soon, I’m freezing to death."
After that, Arkham got back into Link's sleeve.
The arm wrapped around Link fell into a deep sleep.
It was really embarrassing for Cam to let a cold-blooded animal stay in the cold night all night.
Touching Arkham's little head, Link fell into thought.
According to the original book, in order to allow Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and become the ceremonial material for Voldemort's resurrection, the Moody, who is disguised as Barty, should secretly cast the Confusion Curse on the Goblet of Fire last night and help Harry sign up.
Although it has now been confirmed that Moody's is genuine, it does not rule out the possibility of other rapes in Hogwarts.
The reason why Link asked Arkham to guard the Goblet of Fire last night was because he wanted to stand still.
It's a pity that nothing abnormal happened last night.
Does this mean that I have completely thought about it?
The Death Eaters like Dwarf Star and Barty Little didn't want to use this Triwizard Tournament to revive Voldemort's mind?
Link felt a bit confused for a moment.
He sighed, got out of bed and started washing.
Because today is the Goblet of Fire, even though today is Saturday, Link’s roommates all got up early. After saying hello to Link, they couldn’t wait to leave the dormitory without even washing up. .
Subsequently, Cedric also pushed in.
He and Link looked at each other, and the two of them turned their eyes to John who was still curled up on the bed and pretending to sleep.
After what happened last night, their John's mood was quite unstable, so they took John back to sleep in the lounge without asking anything.
And now, obviously it's time to explore the truth.
"John, come and talk to us."
Link said softly.
As soon as the voice fell, John's body trembled twice, and finally sat up a little stiff.
His eye circles were still red and swollen, his face was pale, and he said sadly:
"Thank you for what happened last night."
"You know, we didn't do this for your thank you."
Link rubbed his temples and said euphemistically, while Cedric was more straightforward, sitting next to John and said:
"How did you conflict last night?"
"I..." John's mouth opened slightly, and he hesitated for a while before he said, "I said, I just wanted to get an autograph from Krum. As a result, those Durmstrang people refused, and I argued with them. After a few sentences, and then they regarded me as a troublemaker."
While speaking, as if afraid of Link and Cedric's misunderstanding, John lowered his head and said:
"This is actually to blame. A big man like Krum is unreasonable to give someone an autograph, otherwise he will be too busy. Moreover, Krum was actually willing to sign for me last night. I can't blame him, it's that The guy named Karkaroff. It was the Durmstrang students under his command who wanted to drive me away, so..."
"Are you still talking good things for Krum?" Cedric suddenly raised the volume and interrupted. "Those people were his classmates and professors last night. If Krum really loves fans, then You should stop them from being rough at you at the very beginning! And what did he do? Just stand there stupidly and do nothing! Just admit it, John, the guy named Krum is a bad guy at all !"
John closed his eyes in pain and said nothing.
Seeing that Link stopped Cedric who wanted to go on, he kicked John lightly and said:
"John, it doesn’t make sense to be right or wrong, and we don’t care at all. I just want you to know that this is Hogwarts, and we are your best friend and strongest backing. No matter who it is, As long as we bully you, we will stand up for you!"
"Link..."
John whimpered with tears.
"It's okay, John, these are trivial things." Link continued, "It's a trivial thing even if you continue to like Krum. If you want, we can help you go back and ask for it together. I believe they will always return. I am willing to give us a face. Of course, it depends on your study attitude. If you get a mess in this year's owl exam, then don't think about signing."
At this time John was already crying silently.
After a while, he eased slightly, and said in a choked voice:
"I understand, Link, and Cedric. I understand everything. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
It was said that Link and Cedric finally showed a smile on their faces.
Cedric patted John hard and said:
"If you want me to say, that Krum is nothing great, you might as well ask for my autograph!"
Hearing what Cedric said, John stopped crying and looked at Cedric in a daze.
Although he didn't speak, Cedric and Link could interpret the meaning of ‘how good are you’ from the expressions in his eyes.
This made Cedric a little bit ashamed.
"Hey! Don't underestimate me! When I turn back to become a warrior at Hogwarts, after defeating Krum in the Triwizard Tournament, you will know how great it is!"
"Oh? Are you so sure you can choose?" Link smiled, "I think I should be the warrior who won the Triwizard Tournament on behalf of Hogwarts."
"Then let's go and sign up together, and leave the choice to Goblet of Fire."
After that, Link and Cedric looked at each other with a smile.
Then they left the dormitory together and walked towards the hall.
This made John a little confused.
He didn't understand why the two guys who were still comforting him with their front feet were now signing up for the Goblet of Fire together.
However, after a while, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and ran after him.
...
When the three arrived, the auditorium and foyer were already very, very lively.
The goblet of fire is in the center of the hall, and is placed on the high stool where the sorting hat is placed during each sorting ceremony.
A circle of thin gold lines was drawn on the floor around the stool, and the circled area was at least five or six square meters.
And outside these golden threads, there were curious students who were all staring at the goblet of fire. Some people even held two pieces of bread in their hands and ate them without a bite.
Signing up under the gaze of so many eyes is obviously a stressful thing, so I didn't even dare to go in for a while.
Cedric doesn't care so much.
He raised his eyebrows at Link, then walked straight towards the Goblet of Fire.
The students along the way stepped aside and watched Cedric excitedly. It wasn't until the note that Cedric had thrown was swallowed by the flames in the goblet of fire that there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
Cedric's excellence is obvious to all, and most people at Hogwarts think he is the perfect candidate for the Warriors.
At this moment, Harry's trio, who hadn't seen it for a long time, also leaned in and greeted Link with a smile.
Hermione looked very excited, and tugged Link's sleeve and said:
"Do you know Link? The people from Durmstrand and Boothbarton have just finished signing up! Hogwarts also has a lot of people signing up. Who do you think might become the Warriors of Hogwarts in the end?"
Before Link could speak, Ron turned his gaze to Cedric, who was still surrounded by the crowd.
"Oh! Of course it's Cedric the cream nanny. Look, he's really beautiful!"
As soon as he said this, the few Hufflepuffs nearby cast dissatisfied glances.
This made Ron hurriedly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
"Link, don't take it to heart, Ron is just a little angry." Harry explained, afraid that Link would turn his face too, "I mean, you know, few Gryffindors we know can sign up. , So everyone is a little unhappy."
Link smiled happily, and pointed towards the auditorium:
"Who said that there was no Gryffindor sign up, wouldn't there be two over there?"
The three of Harry immediately looked, and they saw George and Fred walking towards this side with their shoulders on their backs, each holding a piece of paper in their hands.
"They want to sign up too?" Ron screamed and shook his head. "It's impossible! They are months away from their 17th birthday!"
"Who said it's impossible?"
George and Fred leaned over with a smile, and you smiled and said, "We will definitely succeed this time! We just drank that thing!"
"What did you drink?"
Ron asked, his eyes widened.
"Aging agent!"
"Yes, we drank a drop alone!"
"So we will be 17 years old!"
After talking with a smile, George and Fred squeezed the crowd and walked towards the Goblet of Fire.
"This... can this work?"
Hermione said blankly, the person she asked was Link.
Wen Yanlin nodded first, then immediately shook his head and said:
"Aging agents can indeed temporarily increase the age of the drinker from the physical aspect by increasing the age of bones and teeth. So in theory, this plan of George and Fred should be established.
It's just that, that's the age line that Dumbledore himself laid out. I don't think that a wizard like Dumbledore will leave a hole in the ageing agent. "
As soon as Link fell, the crowd not far away made a sensation again.
When everyone heard the reputation, they found that George and Fred had walked through the thin golden line together, and they were making faces at the people around them at this time.
This scene brought joy to Ron's face, because if George and Fred succeeded, they thought they could also sign up regardless of the age limit.
He laughed twice, and he was about to refute Link's previous inference.
Just before he could speak, he saw the golden age boundary flashing fiercely, and both George and Fred were blasted out.
Not only that, after the two fell a dog to eat shit, a long white beard grew on their chins at an alarming rate.
For a while, the crowd around who was still cheering suddenly quieted down.
George and Fred also looked at me with you, and I looked at you, looking at each other speechlessly.
It was just that this situation only lasted for a while, and both George and Fred laughed at each other's white beards.
The laughter was very contagious, and soon everyone else in the room also laughed.
"I reminded you, don't play these clever things." Dumbledore suddenly walked out of the auditorium and said to the two with a smile, "I suggest you hurry to Mrs. Pomfrey. She is already there Dealing with Miss Fawcett in Ravenclaw and Mr. Summers in Hufflepuff, they both used the same method as you. But it is worth mentioning that their beards are far less beautiful than yours! "
When Dumbledore said this, everyone laughed happily.
George and Fred were not ashamed, and went to the infirmary with a grin.
"Link, you guessed exactly!"
Hermione stared at Link with beaming eyes and said, before he gave Ron a sideways glance, he directly lowered his head at Ron.
"Ordinary reasoning."
Link smiled and shook his head.
Link felt that there was nothing to brag about.
But Hermione was even more excited, her little hand clutching Link's cuff tightly, and she exclaimed excitedly:
"You haven't answered me yet? Who do you think is most likely to be a warrior at Hogwarts?"
Hearing this, Ron, who had just bowed his head in silence, raised his head~lightnovelpub.net~ Harry, who was almost exhausted from laughing, also looked over curiously.
Everyone is looking forward to Link's answer.
After all, in the eyes of these three people, Link is the kind of person who is rare in this school, who can truly be said to be reliable.
But in the expectation of everyone, Linke smiled confidently and said:
"Shouldn't this sort of thing be obvious?"
As he spoke, Link used his index and middle fingers to clip a note with his own name from the pocket of his robe.
"The warrior at Hogwarts, of course it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Link moved towards the Goblet of Fire, shaking his robe and cloak in an aggressive stance similar to Snape.
The students who stood in front of him were still laughing about George and Fred's affairs before, but they seemed to sense something in an instant, and their expressions gave way to Link with amazement.
Just like Cedric back then, a neat trail appeared in front of Link.
"Link, you..."
Just as the sole of Link's foot was about to cross the thin golden line, Hermione finally reacted, trying to discourage Link's useless work.
It's just that her voice was quickly stuck in her throat forcibly.
Because at this time, Link had already stepped over the thin line and threw the note into the goblet of fire.
Huhu~
The addition of new fuel made the flames vigorous for a few minutes, until the paper burned out before finally returning to calm.
And until the end, there was no response from the thin golden thread.
In the crowd, Link raised his head and looked at Dumbledore who had not left not far away.
The latter is also looking at him.
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth rose slowly, finally forming a smile of approval, and nodded at Link.
