When the pumpkin juice in the bottle was sprinkled on the ground, it was eerily quiet in the auditorium. Tom did not expect that Professor Moody was willing to show him the liquid in his jug generously.
After emptying the jug, Moody also opened his coat to show that he only had such a jug, and that there was no such thing as a jug containing drinks and a jug containing compound decoction.
"See clearly?" Moody glared at Tom, "If you see clearly, put that thing away!"
Moody felt that his temper had really changed for the better. How could he be pointed at by a magic wand when he was the one he was ten years ago? It must be punished for a while before the other party.
Tom put away his wand and looked embarrassed. He now realizes that he has a high probability of making an oolong, and the Moody in front of him is a crazy-eyed man.
'Professor Moody, I'm so sorry, I just—'
"Just what? It's too bad you thought it out!" Moody glared at Tom again. When he thought of the assumption Tom said, he couldn't help but admire the imagination of the little wizards now. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel shudder, because this operation seems to be really feasible!
If someone attacked him before he went to Hogwarts, and then used the Polyjuice Potion to turn into him, wouldn't it be possible to infiltrate Hogwarts? Everyone knew that he, Mad-Eye Moody, only drank what was in the curved jug, which was convenient for the Dark Wizard to carry the Compound Decoction in the jug with him.
Mad-Eye Moody is suspicious by nature, so the ideas that are absurd to outsiders are very valuable to him.
So he stood there and made a decision after a little thought.
"Okay, hurry back to the lounge to sleep, I still have work to do!" Moody waved his hand and drove Tom back to the bedroom. Moody didn't care much about Tom's offense to himself. Everyone has a different focus when looking at things. For example, there is a cauliflower snake in a vegetable bag. Some people will find it very scary, and some people will realize that they have meat to eat. For Moody, Tom's presence in the auditorium tonight may have violated school rules, but Tom's vigilance is something Moody's more concerned about.
Moody is a very sensitive person, and his nerves are tense almost all the time to deal with possible dangers. It made him nervous - Moody once smashed a package because he believed it was a basilisk egg, but it turned out that it was an alarm clock that someone gave him.
But it's normal for him to be a little nervous! Moody is a complete Auror who has experienced the Wizarding War! "Experienced the Wizarding War" and "Auror" means that Moody has seen and encountered more darkness than anyone else has heard in their lifetimes combined.
This character makes Moody's very much appreciate those with a sense of crisis. In Moody's view, the war is not over, and the mysterious man will come back one day, but everyone has slackened and indulged in the honeypot of peace. Moody's was very disgusted by this, but there was nothing he could do about it. And today, he finally found another good seedling at Hogwarts-although his brain was a bit big, it was a good thing after all, so he did not continue to investigate Tom's fault, but let it go.
If Tom could hear Moody's inner drama, he'd be outraged. He's not the type to be hyper-vigilant -- at least not as outrageous as Moody's imagined. Who in normal people would associate from "only drinking from a specific kettle" to "this person has been replaced"! This is already persecutory delusional disorder.
He made such an association only because Voldemort had enough fun.
Because he didn't know what Moody was thinking, Tom didn't know the reason why Moody let him go so lightly. He thought he would at least be locked up a few times this time. Although he didn't quite understand Mad-Eye's train of thought, he rushed back to Ravenclaw Tower before Moody changed his mind. At this time, the classmates had already fallen asleep, and faint snoring echoed in the bedroom. Tom didn't do anything else, just lay down on his bed, and Tom fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow after a hard day's work.
At the same time, in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was looking at Moody with a face of vicissitudes: "Alastor, so you don't sleep at night, just to suggest that I ban the use of opaque liquid containers in Hogwarts. ?"
"Yes, this is a very serious security risk." Moody said seriously.
Dumbledore: …
Shouldn't he be concerned about the mental state of his teachers?
The next day was Saturday. Generally speaking, the students would stay in bed until late before going to have breakfast, or directly beg a certain "rotating father" in the dormitory to go to the auditorium to bring breakfast outside. But today is different. Many little wizards can't wait to get up as soon as the sun rises, and then rush to the auditorium and surround themselves by the Goblet of Fire.
Watching classmates sign up for the Goblet of Fire is more attractive than sleeping in. Many people didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and chose to eat bread while watching.
Fred and George were among the group. They were yawning and holding a small notebook, always ready to record the applicant's information.
"Here." George shoved a bacon sandwich into Fred's hand.
"Thanks, do we want to delete Durmstrang's option? They already have Krum, I don't think Durmstrang's Warriors can change - do they have anyone better than Krum? ?"
"That's right," George nodded. "Everyone doesn't know much about Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. The choice must be familiar and pleasing to the eye."
Durmstrang is good to say that Victor Krum is famous, and almost everyone has heard of his existence. Beauxbatons is different, who knows what famous students Beauxbatons have! In the end, it must be:
[What's the name of that silver-haired girl? we choose her
Such a conversation.
George sighed: "It's hard to imagine that the legendary Krum is still a student. He's probably the most famous guy in these three schools, right?"
"Not necessarily," Fred shook his head, "if Harry and Tom could sign up, they probably wouldn't be less famous than Krum--of course, our dear brother might as well, after all he's 'Hogwart' Ci's best graduate in the past three years'!"
George burst out laughing, and then said solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Percy Weasley enjoys a high reputation internationally because of his strict standards for the thickness of the crucible..."
The two looked at each other, and then laughed hehehe.
While the two were chatting hotly, Karkaroff led all Durmstrang students to the Goblet of Fire. Unlike Hogwarts, where the home game is played, all the students who come from Durmstrang are over seventeen, so they can all sign up.
Looking at the pieces of parchment being thrown into the cup after another, Fred and George tacitly wiped Durmstrang out of the quiz. They wanted to have a big three-school quiz - not just the Hogwarts warriors, but Durmstrang and Beausbatton, but now they think it's unrealistic.
After Durmstrang's people left, maybe they were infected, both Fred and George were just about to move. In the eyes of the two of them, cheating the age line does not seem to be difficult. This dead thing is best fooled, and a drop of ageing agent will do the trick.
Just as they were about to start, Fawcett of Ravenclaw went straight to the Goblet of Fire.
"Fred, look!" George noticed something strange, "I remember Fawcett was under seventeen, right?"
"You remember right, she used 'means'." Fred suddenly came to his senses. He wanted to observe this brave "pioneer" and learn from her.
In the eyes of everyone, Miss Fawcett confidently crossed the age line, and then flew out in front of everyone, with a tuft of beards emerging from her chin.
Fred, George: !
The word "kill the chicken to warn the monkey" is more appropriate to use here. Both were shocked by the fate of Miss Fawcett. But the shock is shock, how could Fred and George be frightened by this little scene and cancel the plan?
They just became more cautious.
After Fawcett ran away with his face covered, George and Fred together analyzed the reasons for Fawcett's failure.
"Maybe it's her potion that doesn't work? You know, our two potions are not ordinary..."
Facing George's analysis, Fred frowned. He is not 100% sure about this kind of thing. And if there is such an accident, the prize quiz that the two planned before will probably be greatly affected.
But it's a bit unwilling to stop at this point.
"Fred, George, you two got up early today!" A familiar voice sounded behind them, and the two of them could hear it without turning back. The owner of the voice was their good friend Lee Jordan.
Fred, George: Hey!
The two quickly reached a tacit understanding.
"Li, are you seventeen?" Fred asked knowingly. The three of them were very close friends, so how could they not know each other's birthdays. Fred knew better than Lee Jordan that he was under seventeen.
Lee Jordan shook his head.
"It's a pity we didn't have the two of us." George continued the topic.
"Yeah, we're only a few months away..." Lee Jordan looked at the flaming Goblet of Fire with unwillingness in his eyes.
Hooked! Fred and George appeared to be lighthearted, but they were actually cheering from the bottom of their hearts.
"If you win the game, you will be rewarded with a thousand Galleons!" Fred said sadly. This sentence came from the heart, he and George really needed this thousand Galleons to realize their dreams.
It has to be said that Fred and George belong to the kind of people who are very good at fantasy. Even though he didn't even report his name, he was already thinking about how the bonus was spent.
Lee Jordan was silent for more than ten seconds, then leaned on Fred's ear and asked in a low voice, "What can you two do? We can sign up together and divide the thousand Galleons equally."
Lee Jordan is also an open-minded master.
"We got an age-enhancing agent that can make us grow up for a few months-"
"Then why are you hesitating? Hurry up and sign up!" Lee Jordan's eyes went straight when he heard that there was such a good thing.
"Okay!" George took out a crystal bottle from his arms and handed it to Lee Jordan.
When Lee Jordan opened the cork and was about to take a sip, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He frowned, stared at Fred and George, and asked suspiciously, "Are you two plotting against me?"
Fred's head shook like a rattle.
"No, you must be hiding something from me!" Lee Jordan, who had been with Fred and George for nearly six years, knew how many moles they had on their buttocks, so even if there was no evidence, He still saw through Fred's lies.
"I've taken you." Fred took a sip of the age-enhancing agent from the bottle. George followed suit and took a sip with his brother.
"Remember not to drink too much, we only need one drop - do you drink or not?" George shook the crystal bottle with an impatient face.
"Okay." Although Lee Jordan was still a little confused, Fred and George had personally proved the harmlessness of the potion, and he had nothing to say.
So he took the crystal bottle and drank a small drop of the liquid inside.
The three are ready, and now there is only one last step left.
"Are you ready?" Lee Jordan looked at the Goblet of Fire, trembling with excitement, this is a legendary prank Once successful, himself, Fred and George will be the king of mischief. Always remember.
After receiving affirmative answers from his partners, Lee Jordan took a deep breath and took the initiative to cross the age line under everyone's attention.
At that moment, Fred even thought that Lee Jordan had made it, but the next second, there was a loud crack in the auditorium, and Lee Jordan was thrown beyond the age line, and his chin was like protruding. White beard.
Everyone in the hall, including Fred and George, laughed.
While laughing, Fred and George secretly rejoiced: fortunately, there was Lee Jordan in the mines for them!
"Damn, you two bastards!" Seeing Fred and George smiling so happily, Jordan couldn't be more angry.
"Okay, okay!" George helped Jordan up and went to the hospital with him.
Shortly after the three of them left, Dumbledore came to the scene yawning.
"Did I miss some fun?" he said with great disappointment, "I thought Fred and George would find a way to break through my age line!"
After learning about Fred and George's rude operation, Dumbledore looked at the age line thoughtfully: Should he design a one-second delay? That's a good way to catch everyone.
After Lee Jordan's failed efforts, student after student threw their names into the Goblet of Fire, and their names were written down in Tom's notebook.
