Diana stayed for a few days for Zhao Mai to teach her how to use magic, but it turned out that she couldn't learn any magic. The wand did not respond to her, and so did the broom. Even the potion would be ineffective because of her strong physical resistance. For the first time, Diana envies others, including Addo, who can easily use magic.
She found that all her abilities were basically given by gods, but there was little that really belonged to her. Zhao Mai comforted her, "your strong determination to fight and your will quality belong to you, and these are the most important parts of a person. Other combat capabilities, you see them as tools
But even with Zhao Mai's consolation, she would still be sad, so she left for Greece after less than half a month and went to the "pakas Magic School" to have a look. "Since it's a task given by the gods, we should try our best to complete it. Maybe there will be some way out there." That's what Diana said when she left. She did not linger on the other side of the farewell, nor reluctant to part, smiling and waving, and then flew away.
The short winter vacation is finally over. The first thing in the new semester is to select players. As the "new era wizard youth competition" is held on the basis of the "three wizard competition", in order to reflect a longer sense of history, we still use the Goblet of fire to select players according to the tradition. But this time, the Goblet of fire will go to each school in turn. Each school will only stay for half a day, and finally the team members will be selected together. Because a round the world trip is too time-consuming, the Goblet of fire will only travel around the European continent. Schools in America, Africa and Asia need to send people to Europe to put in the list.
Zhao Mai was the first one to go to the school hall early to see the Goblet of fire. After all, it was a powerful magic item with a long reputation. The British Ministry of magic sent two Aurors, and the countries in the first and second stops each sent one elite Auror to protect the Goblet of fire and prevent cheating. It has been reported that some radical witches from allied countries Germany and Turkey are not willing to fail and be excluded, and are ready to destroy this conference. Although the news is not so reliable, the Witches of the treaty countries certainly do not want to have an accident or lose face because of relaxing their vigilance.
"You should take the initiative and take part in this grand meeting." Dumbledore's ten fingertips were together, hanging down in front of his waist. That pair of sharp dark blue eyes looked at Zhao Mai: "this is a very rare opportunity, it may be your only chance to participate in the competition at Hogwarts."
"Professor, do you think I should join?" Zhao Mai smiles and takes out a note: "since you think so, then my choice should be right."
"Great, I've been thinking about how to convince you." Dumbledore's eyes curved and he laughed happily: "I find that you are a student who doesn't like to show off. You are too conservative many times. Of course, it may also have something to do with your age and experience. But since you are in Hogwarts and go to school with young people, you should be young!"
"Thank you for your concern, but I didn't look like them when I was their age, and now I don't know how to look young."
"Young is to do something brave, frivolous, but fun and easy? Like shaving all your eyebrows and hair? " Dumbledore touched his beard, then shook his head: "I have to say that you are better than me. Even when I was young, I didn't have the courage."
"You can try. It's really cool." Zhao Mai couldn't help feeling his head. When he was bald, he felt a big difference from usual. He felt strange and strange. Sometimes he even mistook it for his head.
It's strange. Zhao Mai's use of natural transformation to become other kinds of creatures, will not have this strange feeling to himself, but without hair will be like this.
"Go ahead and throw your name in." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Zhao Mai stepped forward, and the four Aurors gave him a silent stare, and then made way for a crack. Zhao Mai stretched his arm and threw the note with his name and school into the Goblet of fire. The blue flame wrapped the note gently and slowly swallowed it into the golden cup.
"Are you the eighth grader?" One of them, Auror, who was guarding the Goblet of fire, held his glasses and suddenly said, "I know your name, but it's the first time I've seen you in person. You should have graduated, not stayed at Hogwarts. "
Looking at him, Zhao Mai could not see the true intention of his words from his cold and serious face. Is it unfair for the Ministry of magic to deal with it, or is it a mistake for Zhao Mai to represent Hogwarts? The other three Aurors blinked, and the corners of their mouths shook slightly.
"You really seem to have a point." Zhao Mai choked, then walked back to Dumbledore. "Professor, do you have any inside information about this competition?"
"Of course not." Dumbledore is right. "I've been working with a group of magicians to adjust the Goblet of fire to accommodate more schools and students than just three. How can I have time to listen to the venue and events of the competition? It's impossible
"What is impossible?" Zhao Mai and Dumbledore slowly left the hall where the Goblet of fire was placed, away from Auror, the four guards."Of course, I couldn't have known that the venue was Atlantis, or that the dragon and Titan would be invited." Dumbledore held his glasses and said softly, "there are so many things I don't know."
After they went away, students came to the Goblet of fire one after another. The junior students look at the senior students with curiosity and admiration, and everyone who puts in his name will get applause. Barbara came panting, complaining that Susie's speed had slowed her down. She grabs the Gryffindor student next to her, stares into her eyes and asks, "did Mike ronho put his name in?"
"I didn't see it." The student said to her.
Barbara asked several people the same answer. "No, he said he would take part?"
"Did he change his mind temporarily?" Susie is a little strange, too.
"No, he's a man of his word." Barbara has been waiting for a long time. It's time for class. She has to leave. Barbara heart a horizontal, in the note written Mike's name, in Auror's gaze threw in.
The blue flame slowly swallowed the note, as always.
