Chapter 198 Pre-match preparation (I)
Although Jian Yu's mood hit rock bottom, the professors seemed more nervous than her.
"It seems that casting the Imperius Curse on the professor is no longer enough to satisfy our famous Miss Jane."
Snape did not forget to make sarcastic remarks while tutoring her on the Polyjuice Potion paper:
"She even threw her own name into the Goblet of Fire to achieve her ulterior motive."
Jian Yu was speechless and choked.
"If I say I didn't do anything, would you believe me——"
She tried to defend herself, but found it hard to believe even herself after all the work she had put in over the past three years.
Snape crossed his arms over his chest, his face dark and he raised his eyebrows. It was hard to tell whether he believed it or not:
"Oh, of course. I think according to the usual style of the all-knowing Miss Jane, this matter will be reversed in a few days, right?"
Jian Yu showed an innocent expression.
Snape carefully discerned her expression, then sneered and continued in a rhythmic tone:
"It's a shame that nothing can change the fact that she has to continue to compete in a competition that has been discontinued for centuries due to the high death toll."
"So you must protect the straw bag around your neck on November 24th and don't let it fall off-"
He waved his wand to sort the ingredients for making Polyjuice Potion aside, and then gave the order:
"Bring out Advanced Potion-Making, the copy I gave you."
Jian Yu rummaged in his own crucible for a long time and found the textbook that was cast with the shrinking spell.
Snape took it and began to flip through the pages, tapping them with his wand from time to time.
After a while, he put down the textbook and stared at Jian Yu with his black eyes, as if he was examining her:
"You must promise that the spells you learn from me will not be used on your classmates."
Jian Yu continued smoothly: "Unless——"
Snape gave her a murderous look and completed the sentence for her:
"Unless she encounters a serious threat that cannot be dealt with by other spells."
After Jian Yu agreed, he threw the textbook in front of her:
"Since the Imperius Curse is child's play for you, I'm sure you can learn these spells at a glance."
Jian Yu picked up the textbook and found that the areas on the page that were originally covered or smeared black had been cleaned up, revealing the hidden words underneath.
"Close your ears and block your ears, hang upside down, and be invisible..."
The book was full of Snape's own spells. Jane Yu was so surprised that she raised her head and looked at Snape with admiration.
This is the real genius!
She originally thought that the slanderous part was the middle school history of her own dean, but she didn't expect it to be full of useful information!
"I hope you won't let me see you foolishly waving your wand and fighting with students from the Triwizard Tournament."
Snape glared at her again with displeasure, and threw her out the door along with the cauldron and textbook.
......
In addition to Snape, her other mentor, Mr. Newt Scamander, also seemed to be suffering from anxiety.
"I'm not sure." He flipped through the thick series of books he had written. "The Triwizard Tournament should use magical creatures as part of the level."
He thought carefully and turned to the classification level section of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
"I don't think that will be easy. Only animals of level xxxxx or xxxx will be suitable. However, such animals often need to be captured and subdued collectively."
Newt looked at her sadly and teased Buckbeak twice:
"You need to memorize the part about them. Or I'll give you a few more dragon scales to hang. Most animals are afraid of them..."
"But don't worry. Albus and I will be sitting in the stands. There won't be any danger."
He also told her to come to him before the game to take a tablet of Mortra Rat's Growth, then sighed:
"This incident sounds like a prank... Albus said that voting on behalf of seventh-year students is effective, but I'm afraid someone is targeting you."
......
But her guardian, Dumbledore, behaved as usual, as if he didn't realize that anyone was watching her at all.
——If she ignored what he did, she would really believe that he was as calm and composed as he said.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, Jade, as long as we're fully prepared."
Dumbledore smiled, comforted her, and even exempted her from the ancient magic class this week:
"You have to believe that the animals in those levels are all cute. Dealing with them is as easy as drinking water for you."
Jian Yu frowned and looked at him.
What kind of ability is this to tell lies with open eyes?
If she hadn’t heard Newt say that only animals of level xxxxx or xxxx were suitable for the Contest—
She would really believe Dumbledore's lies!
But Dumbledore had a plan.
As if the sect leader was giving a magic weapon to his closed disciple, he piled a whole box of alchemical products in front of Jian Yu.
In fact, after some analysis, he had understood part of Jian Yu's thoughts.
He knew that as the Death Eaters became more active, there was someone lurking in the shadows, secretly interfering in the Triwizard Tournament.
Karkaroff... this former Death Eater, although he was the first suspect in his mind -
But maybe he is just a bait in the open, and the real mastermind is someone else!
Jian Yu has joined the game personally this time, and she must have discovered something unusual!
She wanted to personally find out who did this, even at the risk of taking risks!
In this case, he must protect her safety and must not let anything happen to the child!
"Although I cannot reveal the answer to the question out of fairness," Dumbledore said cheerfully, "we can take some extra precautions."
"This dress is a custom version that I once researched with the Flamels. This necklace can withstand an attack from a level xxxxx animal..."
After equipping Jian Yu from head to toe, even including her shoes and socks, he leaned back in his chair and took a sip of honey tea.
"Okay, there shouldn't be any problem now. On the day of the competition, we just need to draw the magic runes on your teeth for a few hours..."
Jian Yu was shocked.
She looked at the jewelry hanging all over her body and the clothes embroidered with magic symbols covering her entire skin——
Doraemon version of Dumbledore?
This is really armed to the teeth.
She felt like she was wearing a mountain of gold Galleons, and selling any one of them would be enough to provide her with food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Now she can feel more at ease when committing fraud.
She would probably just need to wear them and lie down under the feet of a 5x-level magical creature—
You can successfully get out and avoid the last two items!
But soon, she thought of Harry again.
All the magic weapons are piled on her, where is the protagonist? How does the crispy protagonist pass the level?
He can't be scratched to death by the magical creature's two claws!
"What about Harry?" she inquired. "He's not old enough to compete? What if someone wants to hurt us--"
"Don't worry." Dumbledore replied with a smile, "I have arranged for Professor Moody to keep an eye on him... Of course, I will also sit in the stands and keep a close eye on him."
This sounds like a well-thought-out arrangement.
But Jian Yu always felt something was wrong.
Isn’t this attitude towards the protagonist a bit too casual?
What about the powerful spells passed to him? What about defensive magic weapons?
Is he only able to hope for the support and encouragement of his godfather?
