Chapter 495 The Incoming Guests



The news of the Triwizard Tournament spread quickly in the castle, and in just one night, people forgot about Sirius.

The topics that were once talked about by everyone became obsolete overnight, and in the following week, everyone was discussing the Triwizard Tournament.

The most popular candidate is the Warriors.

Every college has their Warrior candidates.

Drian Puse 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 Warrior, in reality, the number of supporters of the two combined is not even half of Angelina's.

What’s different from other colleges is that Hufflepuff has two most popular candidates.

One third of the people support Kyle and one third of the people support Cedric, and the rest are too conflicted and switch camps every day.

However, the Hufflepuffs did not oppose each other or argue about anything. In their opinion, no matter who became the warrior between Kyle and Cedric, it was a happy thing.

On the weekend, Fred and George went to Hogsmeade early in the morning and bought a lot of things from Zonko.

In their words, this is the secret weapon prepared for the Triwizard Tournament.

Kyle had reason to suspect that if one of them really became a warrior, Big Dung Egg would definitely become an indispensable helper for them.

Professor McGonagall's expression will be very interesting...

As time went by, the atmosphere in the castle became more and more heated, and everyone was curious about what the students of the other two schools were like.

In addition, in order to welcome the guests coming from afar, the castle also underwent a major cleaning.

Several dirty portraits were wiped clean, and the armor in the corridor became shiny and could even be used as mirrors, which made them very uncomfortable.

Several times, Kyle saw suits of armor lying on the ground and tried to dust them off, but within ten minutes, Filch would wipe them clean again with a clean lint cloth.

Filch had been even more obnoxious than usual lately, and would fly into a rage if anyone's shoes were not cleaned or there was even the slightest bit of dust on them.

The professors also seemed particularly nervous.

The elite students from both schools, including the headmaster, will come to Hogwarts. Even though they have been in office for many years, this is the first time for them to experience such a grand occasion.

In this tense atmosphere, a week passed quickly.

On the morning of October 30, when Kyle went downstairs to eat, he found that the auditorium had also been decorated with huge silk flags hanging on the walls, just like when the college cup was awarded.

However, there was only one college flag at that time, but now there are four. The banner behind the guest of honor seat has also been replaced with the Hogwarts school emblem, which is a lion, eagle, badger, and snake connected together, surrounding a big letter "H".

As soon as Kyle and Connor sat down at the table, someone came up to them and asked if they had any confidence...

In response, Kyle could only tell them again and again that today was just to welcome guests from two other schools, and the Warriors election would be held at another time.

He has said these words no less than twenty times since he woke up in the morning.

"I've never seen anything like this before..." Connor poured Kyle a glass of pumpkin juice. "It seems like the whole castle is on edge. Tian spent an hour choosing hair accessories last night, and he got up again in the early hours of the morning to choose again."

"After all, this is an event that has been discontinued for a century, so it's inevitable that people are a little excited." Kyle took a sip of pumpkin juice.

"Good morning..." Cedric also came.

As soon as he sat down, he yawned loudly, obviously not having had a good rest.

"Kyle, do you know anything about Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?" he asked.

"I know him fairly well." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Krum a student of Durmstrang? We've already met him during the Quidditch World Cup. He will definitely come back this time and he will probably become the final warrior."

"Oh, yes, Krum..." Cedric said, looking up.

Viktor Krum's aura in Quidditch is so dazzling that he always forgets that the other party is still a student who has not yet graduated.

But Cedric didn't care much about what Kyle said about Krum becoming a warrior of Durmstrang.

So what if he's a Quidditch star? The Triwizard Tournament isn't about who rides the broom better.

"What about Beauxbatons..." he continued, "Although I have seen that school before, it was during the holidays and there was no one inside."

"I know the headmistress of Beauxbatons, Ms. Maxime," Kyle said.

"What, the headmaster of Beauxbatons?" Cedric suddenly became interested. "What kind of person is she? Is she the same as Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"A lot younger." Kyle put a fried egg on his bread. "I bet you'll be surprised when you see her for the first time."

"Is she very powerful?" Kanna asked curiously.

"That's for sure. After all, she is the headmaster of Beauxbatons." Kyle said, "But what I want to say has nothing to do with her strength. It's that you will be surprised the first time you see her."

Cedric and Connor became even more curious, but Kyle didn't continue.

"You will know when the time comes. It will be less surprising if I tell you now." As for the tradition of Hogwarts, he also knows it.

Cedric was so angry that his teeth were itching. He finally understood how Fred and George felt on the train...it was indeed very uncomfortable.

No one could concentrate on the class that day. The classroom was filled with a joyful atmosphere of anticipation, and even the professor seemed absent-minded.

In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked them to review what they had learned before and strictly corrected everyone's mistakes.

"This is fourth grade material, and some people are still making mistakes!" By the time the get out of class was almost over, Professor McGonagall was so angry that she was shaking all over.

She was a little worried that if the students at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang knew about this, they would think that there was something wrong with her teaching ability.

The subsequent spells class is also a review.

Professor Flitwick summarized some spells that are often used in life, and then patiently let them practice them for two lessons.

The only thing that is not affected by external factors is probably the history of magic.

This course is like this, let alone a small Triwizard Tournament, even if Voldemort were to join forces with the Ministry of Magic to attack Hogwarts this afternoon, as long as the school is not on holiday, they would have to recite the time and place of the Giant War in the classroom.
