Chapter 170：

John stopped clapping, the applause stopped.

He knew Moody, to be precise, he had met him.

Moody bought many speculums at Johnny Silverhand's store, and he felt that someone was always trying to harm him.

John felt that he had dismantled the looking glass when he bought it.

Tang Mi admired Moody very much because he had seen the iron blood of the legendary Auror.

Therefore, this is why Tang Mi will give a fracture discount.

This legendary Auror provides almost half of the prisoners in Azkaban. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a living legend among Aurors.

Unfortunately, Legend is doomed to be lonely. Too much Death Eater blood on his hands also caused Moody to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and distrust those around him.

Dumbledore seemed not to notice the students' discomfort and cleared his throat.

"As I just said," he looked at the many students in front of him with a smile.

"Over the next few months, we will be honored to host a wonderful event that has not been held for more than a century."

After a pause, Dumbledore announced: "I am very happy to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

The Triwizard Tournament!

"You're kidding me!" Fred shouted.

His eyes were shining brightly, and he bumped fists with George next to him, as if he was ready to participate.

There was even more heated discussion among the students.

On the way, Dumbledore wanted to tell a joke, but was interrupted by Professor McGonagall with an unpleasant look on his face.

I have no choice but to educate those who don’t know about the Triwizard Tournament.

To put it simply, the warriors from three schools competed together, but because too many people died in the past, the competition was suspended.

This year, the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports thought the time was ripe, so they opened the door.

In October, the headmasters of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will come with their carefully selected candidates.

The ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween. The most important thing is that the prize money will be five thousand galleons.

This amount of money made the Weasley children's eyes widen, and the twins were eager to give it a try.

It's a pity that Dumbledore poured cold water on them.

Because the warriors need to be seventeen years old, the twins were so angry that they took the lead in making noises. They will not turn seventeen until April next year.

This also means that there is no hope for those under sixth grade to participate.

Ron and Harry were a little disappointed, they still wanted to participate.

There, Hermione silently protested against the slave elves at Hogwarts, and then she learned that there were a hundred house elves working for free at Hogwarts.

Until after the dinner, the students were still discussing this matter.

Before John left, he looked back at Moody, his magic eye moving wildly.

There was also a lot of discussion in the Slytherin common room.

But the direction of their discussion was somewhat biased.

"This must be because they are afraid of John. After all, everyone knows that John is the best."

"That's right, John can defeat them all by himself."

"Maybe this is Dumbledore's conspiracy. We all know that he is particularly partial to the Gryffindor group."

"I must ask my father to complain about him. He is simply not worthy of being a principal!"

"…"

The Slytherin snakes were very dissatisfied. They thought this was Dumbledore's conspiracy.

After all, with John’s strength, there is no suspense left.

Not to mention them, even Malfoy said indignantly: "He only loves Harry Potter and Gryffindor. John, he is targeting you."

"That was the decision of the Ministry of Magic. Essentially, it was for fear of death of younger students." John said without looking up while flipping through a book.

…

the next day.

Today is the first day of fourth grade.

Slytherin and Gryffindor have only one class together in the morning.

In terms of protecting magical animals, the newly born snails have a great visual impact.

They looked like large lobsters with their shells removed. They were white, gray and sticky, and looked very scary.

John has long been used to it. He has been exposed to this thing so many times.

Not everyone has John’s psychological quality.

If Malfoy hadn't been with John for so long, he would have cursed him by now.

Their mission is to raise these snails.

Malfoy's face was full of rejection and he said: "Why should we raise them?"

"Huh?" Hagrid was stunned.

Malfoy continued: "I mean, what can they do? What are they used for?"

This actually involves Hagrid’s blind spot, he is just too busy cultivating.

So he turned his attention to John, who received it and said: "The hard shell of the adult snail is a good alchemy material, and his tail can be used to prepare strong gunpowder."

Malfoy had nothing to say, after all, the boss had spoken.

After thinking for a while, John added: "When raising, you need to pay attention. The tail of the snail will explode. The skin of the young snail may be damaged, and the adult one can break your arm."

Hagrid clapped happily, and John also got extra points.

It’s just that the other students are not happy. After all, they may be bombed, and no one is happy.

In the afternoon, John went to the divination class alone.

Trelawney received him warmly, as if he were not a student but a friend.

"My dear, have you seen changes in the stars?"

"I think I saw an unlucky fat guy fall down."

John looked at the star display and almost laughed out loud.

Goyle or Crabbe, I don’t know which one is more unlucky.

Harry was caught deserting in class. Listening to Trelawney's rational analysis, Ron laughed out loud.

She said that Harry was born in winter, and Trelawney seemed to have forgotten that she had predicted that the savior would be born at the end of July.

After class, Malfoy immediately brought the Daily Prophet to find his love rival (?), and arrogantly laughed at Ron next to Harry.

John took a look and saw that it was Rita Skeeter.

Because all the credit for that World Cup incident went to Barty Sr. As a qualified reporter, she knew that she needed a foil to show the brilliance of humanity.

So we found out about the disappearance of a wizard official. Unfortunately, Mr. Weasley went through a lot of trouble yesterday to deal with Moody's farce.

"There's another photo, Weasley!" Malfoy took out the photo of the interview and laughed loudly.

To be honest, the Burrow can be regarded as an illegal building in any country, so wizards can control it.

Of course, Malfoy didn't say anything bad. After all, Percy also lived there. He looked at the Weasleys carefully and blurted out: "Is this your mother? It looks like..."

When the words came to his lips, Harry yelled: "Get out of here, Malfoy!"

Malfoy was stunned, he hadn't said anything yet.

Harry comforted Ron, who was shaking with anger, and told him not to be angry.

"By the way, Potter, you lived with them this summer, right?" Malfoy was jealous (?) and said sarcastically: "Did his mother make the quilt for you? The food she cooked was delicious, right? ?”

He swore that this sentence was definitely just a simple description, but Harry obviously misunderstood.

"What about your mother, Malfoy?" Harry thought of Mrs. Malfoy and retorted: "Look at the expression on her face, as if there is **** under her nose. Does she always have that expression? , or is it just because I’m with you?”

When Malfoy heard that Harry dared to talk about his mother, he immediately became angry.

Hermione tugged on Harry's clothes, and Harry realized that he had spoken too harshly. He asked Malfoy to shut up uncomfortably, and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, Malfoy took action.

He didn't use his wand, and John's face suddenly turned cold as he remained silent.

"Squat down!"

Malfoy immediately knelt down after hearing this. John pulled out his wand, and an armored shadow appeared in front of him to block a curse.

The curse was deflected and knocked down an armor, which turned into a stoat.

Without hesitation, John responded with a magic spell.

Chapter 193 Green Glaze and Prestige

The battle happened so fast that no one could react.

Harry heard a strong wind coming from behind, and just as he was about to draw his wand, he saw John fighting with someone.

He grabbed Malfoy's middle-parted hair and swung it back. John and Malfoy changed positions.

On the other side of the marble staircase, a figure blocked the spell. John waved his wand twice, turning the handrails on both sides into two big dogs to bite them.

The visitor was experienced in fighting and had already dodged the big dog before it could get close. The magic spell shot out and collided with John's crushing spell.

The fighting stopped almost at the same time, and everyone realized what happened.

John's face was stern, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

"Professor Moody!" A surprised voice sounded.

It's Professor McGonagall.

She did not expect that such a situation would occur on the first day of school.

Moody's little eyes on the other side of the marble staircase were staring at John, his magic eye moving around.

Professor McGonagall walked over quickly, her face turned pale, and she suppressed her anger and asked the two people who were still confronting each other: "Who can tell me what happened!"

Professor Moody realized it later and said angrily to Harry: "Did he hurt you?"

"What?" Harry was stunned, and then he realized that he was talking about Malfoy. He answered honestly: "No."

Moody nodded and walked down immediately. One of his feet was made of wood and carved into a claw shape.

"I despise people who attack others behind their backs the most," he said loudly and gruffly when he came to Malfoy, "This is the most filthy, despicable and cowardly behavior!"

Malfoy's face darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Then, see if Harry Potter dares to duel with me!"

A sneak attack?

"You kid..." Moody's big face almost reached Malfoy's face when he heard this.

John frowned and said coldly: "Then you didn't attack by surprise, professor."

Moody then turned to look at John. He stared at John's wand and then at John's cold face.

John narrowed his eyes and said, "Or do you think you are on the side of justice?"

John didn't like this Moody. Malfoy used fists, but this man used spells.

The two sides looked at each other, neither one was in vain.

The atmosphere became tense, and Professor McGonagall quickly learned the story from Hermione's dictation.

Both sides are at fault in this matter.

But Professor Moody's behavior of using magic spells on students made her a little more annoyed, "Moody! We never use transformation as punishment! Dumbledore must have told you!"

She felt a little tired, this Moody was too radical.
