Chapter 444 Karkaroff’s Backstab
‘I guess I can’t pass it. I have participated too much and confidentiality is not good enough. Besides, participating in the competition...’
Andrew shook his head.
No one would agree, and Fudge would force him to not allow him to participate.
If he dares to sign up, the opponent dares to suspend him, because even if he doesn't continue to do any effective research now, he is still a very useful mascot.
‘I’m tired of my reputation, otherwise I really want to try my hand at becoming an elite student. I haven’t used the Human Body Transformation Technique in a battle yet...’
But now is obviously not the time to think about this.
The key question now is whether Dumbledore will give a formal answer to the Triwizard Competition during breakfast before leaving school.
But soon he knew the answer.
Because the principal showed up.
"I guess you smart heads must be thinking about whether I will tell you something," Dumbledore appeared in the auditorium wearing ordinary robes with a smile, "but what I want to say is, you guessed it right. , Principal Igor is not very good at joking, he announced a correct result at the wrong time, yes, we are ready to resume the competition next year.”
The castle was quiet at first, and then immediately filled with various sounds that occupied the entire auditorium.
The Weasley brothers, who had been studying obediently throughout the school year, stood up with chicken legs in their mouths, "Merlin's beard!"
"However," Dumbledore ignored the students below, his voice suppressed everyone, "The specific selection method and competition content will not be announced until next school year. All I can say is, think about this matter carefully during the holidays. thing, and then forget about it, especially fifth grade students - maybe we are going to link it to the OWLs exam certificate? ”
? ? ?
Andrew was stunned for a moment, no, principal, where did you learn this?
Not only was he stunned, but many fifth graders were also stunned - if this was linked to the certificate, they still had hope, and that boy Taylor definitely couldn't do it!
If he doesn't come, won't there be hope for everyone?
"Eat in peace, you still have a long journey ahead of you."
Dumbledore nodded and left the hall.
Andrew changed his expression to confusion in time - when everyone turned their attention, he asked just right.
"Who can tell me what the Triwizard Tournament is? I just heard about it for the first time today. It turns out it's not a joke on your part?"
While he was eating, he looked ignorant and asked the people next to him.
The performance was very successful - anyway, many people took the hook that Dumbledore laid.
‘Looking at it this way, Taylor really doesn’t know, doesn’t that mean he really got the OWLs certificate card? ’
——
The Hogwarts Express left with a bunch of excited students, but there were many more students staying at the school this year than in previous years - especially the fifth-year students.
Andrew even knew of several people who had actually packed their suitcases, but then went straight back to unpack them.
Andrew always felt that they changed the goal of the OWLs exam to struggle for 100 days and obtain the title of Warrior.
That's probably it - because when he went to the library now, he could see that it was full as if it was exam week.
‘It’s really more powerful than expected. ’
Andrew sighed.
No wonder Dumbledore loved using it. It turned out that the effect was really useful, especially the pair from the Weasley family. Who would have thought that not only did the two of them not go home, they could also go to the library to check in on time every day!
‘This magical world has become too magical, and I can’t understand it anyway. ’
On the other hand, with Dumbledore's reconfirmation and Beauxbatons' affirmation, the term Triwizard Tournament has become the hottest term overtaking the new law.
The heat of the former was almost exhausted, so Durmstrang was still making trouble. As soon as the latter appeared, the entire magical world immediately went crazy!
This thing is even more outrageous than the crown - the crown has not appeared for a long time, and there is no reference for dreaming, but the Triwizard Hegemony is different. This thing is real and has existed for a long time, and in the past hundred years, from time to time, and were brought up for discussion.
Who can still dream of being a warrior?
Especially since there really is a competition like this that is chosen once every four years!
Anyway, when Andrew reads the newspaper every day, he can find enthusiastic discussions-someone even brings it to him from time to time to educate him about the meaning of the Triwizard Tournament. After all, the OWLs exam is just a hypothesis. If the selection conditions are changed to other selection conditions, many people think that Andrew is stable and can go up - how can the Warriors not understand the meaning of this title!
But today, when Andrew finished his routine exercise, what he saw was not an enthusiastic discussion, but a group of students swearing at each other.
"What's wrong with this?"
Andrew looked at them cursing and went over to ask casually.
"The wizards in Durmstrang can't afford it. They feel they are not sure and say we are cheating!"
"That's right, who doesn't know that you have to cheat in the Triwizard Tournament!"
"Yes, cheating is a traditional event in the Triwizard Tournament. Have they forgotten the school history?"
? ? ?
What you are saying is just recorded in history and not said outright!
And - what kind of cheating method is it?
Hasn't this started yet?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Andrew took the newspaper, glanced at it, and then his expression turned bad.
This is not the student life at Durmstrang at all! It's that Karkaroff guy backstabbing!
‘It’s too much to take out the game in advance, but you’re targeting us like this? ’
There's no doubt about it - the guy wants to take the stress away completely.
The Triwizard Tournament only diverted part of the attention. That company planned to use confrontation to throw away all the pressure!
The content of the newspaper was simple - doubts about the new professor.
The outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin became a professor at Beauxbatons last semester.
And Beauxbatons' outstanding graduate, Nina Martin, became a professor at Hogwarts last semester.
Anyway, Durmstrang's newspaper started a discussion yesterday. Is the other two companies targeting them?
‘It’s absolutely disgusting. Karkaroff must have done it. Why don’t the others know what’s going on? ’
Professors are required to sign confidentiality agreements, and so is the principal—for example, Karkaroff himself doesn’t know how many he has signed.
This rhythm can be brought up, not to mention Karkaroff's designation, it is also the culprit that adds fuel to the fire.
The point is, it’s okay to punish others. He’s not familiar with Lupine, but Nina plans to get support and get things—the dean is already trying his best to help, just in case there are another setback...
'You forced me, and I don't want to use this big killer...'
Andrew was really angry, and the fire that had not dissipated yesterday began to rise.
‘It’s just a backstab. No one would be the same. Anyway, I really know German. ’
‘Aren’t you trying to divert attention? Let me help you. Not to mention diverting attention, it won't be a problem to put some pressure on History of Magic. ’
‘You just have to change your pen name, and you absolutely cannot reveal your involvement. I have contributed to magazines in the UK and Germany, so I don’t believe there are no gossip lovers! ’
'The most important thing is that he is already under a lot of pressure, so this will definitely help! You want to transfer, right? Then let me help you! ’
‘Also...just this time, I will never use similar methods and this ultimate magic again! ’
Andrew thought so without stopping.
