What happened in the auditorium at noon soon spread throughout the castle.

Every Gryffindor student was excited, thinking that there was finally someone in the castle who could scare Snape.

Because even Professor McGonagall couldn't make Snape deduct points from his own house without saying a word of rebuttal.

For a time, Professor Alastor Moody's fame in Gryffindor reached an unprecedented high, and the deeds of the Weasley brothers were compiled into several versions and passed on by word of mouth among the students.

It can be said that Gryffindor played an indispensable role in the fact that this matter spread throughout the school in less than half a day.

But the price they paid was that their college scores began to drop rapidly. The scoring hourglass placed in the auditorium seemed to have a hole in it, and it dropped by more than half in just a few days.

The matter came to a temporary end only when Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to warn some people.

A weekend in mid-November was the second Hogsmeade Week of this school year, and students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were also invited to visit this famous wizarding village.

The shop owners seemed to have received the news in advance and added a lot of foreign elements to their stores.

For example, Honeydukes Candy Store has a row of dancing frosted macarons and a bucket of flaming syrup apples placed in the most conspicuous position at the entrance.

The Fengya brand wizard clothing store also has more French-style long skirts and exquisite fur cloaks.

There were also three broomsticks. Kyle saw through the window that Ms. Maxime was sitting with Hagrid, drinking a blue wine that he had never seen before from a cup as big as a barrel.

Just the two of them occupied the largest table in the store.

"Kyle, I think you need to prepare more of this."

After arriving at Zonko's Joke Shop, Fred stuffed a whole box of dung eggs on Kyle without saying a word.

"That's right," George said. "Although we don't know the events of the competition yet, whether it's a duel or dealing with other creatures, dung eggs are the most effective props."

"Just a small one..." Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "It's enough to knock down more than a dozen people, and the smaller the space, the greater its effect."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you must prepare in advance and use the Bubble Head Curse on yourself." George reminded.

"Forget it." Kyle put the box back on the shelf. "The rules have already stated that the only thing we can use is the wand in our hands. We can't bring this thing in at all."

"Ah?" Fred frowned and said angrily. "That's really unreasonable..."

But Kyle thought it was reasonable.

Although there are ways to use it if you really want to, such as the Flying Spell... but Kyle thinks that it is better not to use a powerful weapon like the Dung Egg lightly, otherwise he may become the most smelly warrior in history.

This is not a good name.

When they returned to the castle in the evening, Fred and George were still complaining about the harsh rules set by the headmasters. They insisted that a competition without props would be much less fun.

The next day, after breakfast, Kyle went to the Charms classroom on the third floor as usual.

"Before class today, let's review the Summoning Charm." Professor Flitwick said, "Although this spell is very simple, it often appears in OWL exams, and it is also indispensable in daily life."

His eyes paused on Kyle for a moment, then quickly moved away.

"If you need something but don't have time to get it, the Flying Spell can solve this problem very well..."

In the next ten minutes, everyone began to practice the Flying Spell according to Professor Flitwick's requirements.

Until there was a knock on the classroom door.

It was Ginny, she swooped into the classroom.

"I'm sorry, Professor, but Mr. Bagman asked me to take Kyle downstairs," Ginny said. "All the warriors have to go."

"Of course." Professor Flitwick looked at Kyle with a smile, "Go ahead, there won't be any new content in this class."

Kyle nodded, handed the textbook to Kanna beside him, stood up and walked towards the door. Everyone was looking at him along the way.

"That's amazing, Kyle, you've become a Hogwarts warrior." After closing the door, Ginny couldn't wait to say, "Mom was so happy when she found out. She said she would definitely come to watch the game. Bill and Charlie also said they would take time off to come."

"The first project?" Kyle asked puzzledly.

"Mom will definitely come to all three events," Ginny said, "but I don't know about Bill and Charlie. They're too far away. I think they'll have to wait until the last one."

"Oh, here we are, good luck to you," said Ginny, as they arrived outside a room.

Kyle knocked on the door and walked in.

This is a relatively small classroom. All the desks were pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving an open space in the middle. There were three desks placed side by side in the front, covered with a long piece of velvet.

Ludo Bagman was sitting nearby, talking to a witch dressed in a magenta robe.

Krum and Fleur had already arrived and were standing nearby.

"Ah, the last champion." Bagman stood up. "Come in. Nothing to worry about. Just a wand-testing ritual and a few pictures. This is Rita Skeeter... She's writing a little article about the Tournament for the Daily Prophet."

This was Kyle's first time meeting the famous Rita Skeeter...or infamous would be a better word.

After all, there are many people who hate her, including Chris, who was slandered by her articles.

"Ludo, before we get started, could I have a word with Kyle?" Rita Skeeter said. "He's the youngest warrior, you know... to add some color to the article."

"Excuse me, Miss Rita Skeeter." Kyle said before Bagman could speak. "I think it would be better to check the wands first. After all, I have a class later."

"Ah, that's right..." Bagman said loudly, "Every class before the tournament is extremely important."

Rita Skeeter looked a little unhappy, staring at Kyle.

But Kyle just pretended not to see it.

"It's a good thing you didn't accept the invitation." Fleur whispered, "Ms. Maxime told me to be careful of this man."

“She’s right,” Kyle said.

Soon, Professor Dumbledore pushed the door open and walked in, followed by three other members of the judges, Maxim, Karkaroff, and Chris.

The last one walking was Ollivander, the owner of the Wand Shop in Diagon Alley.

"It looks like everyone is here."

Dumbledore came and sat down behind the velvet-covered table.

"Allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander, who will be checking your wands this time to make sure they are in good condition before the competition."
