Harry's Frustration

Surprisingly, yet predictably, aside from Hufflepuff's table and Ron...

Most of the students at the other tables did not eat immediately.

They held knives and forks in their hands.

But they just held hands and discussed what Dumbledore just said.

"The correct school name?"

It seems some of our friends will be disqualified because of this.

Some of them can't even spell their own names correctly.

"Have we been waiting this long?"

It's only been a few hours, I'd like to hear the rules for the individual competition more carefully!

We now know when the First Task will start.

What about team competitions?

"Didn't we agree on this month?"

"Dumbledore was saying that we already knew about the individual competition, and that's why we've been waiting for over a month since the start of the semester."

This is what he meant by "too long."

"You think you know anything?"

"No one understands Dumbledore than me!"

Meanwhile, those around Harry were already congratulating him on becoming Champion.

"Harry, you have to help us teach Beauxbatons Champion!"

"Yes, they're slandering us Ravenclaw!"

"Harry, I really wish you were a Gryffindor student. Champion sounds like a better fit for Gryffindor."

Percy even came over from the Gryffindor table and said he would teach Harry some spells that might come in handy.

"Harry, I'm not underestimating you."

Instead, some obscure spells aren't in school textbooks, but they're very useful in adventures.

For example, there's the Impediment Curse, which can stop attackers; the Reducto Curse, which can destroy solid obstacles; and the Point Me Spell, also known as the Point Me Spell, which can point your wand due north to ensure you don't lose your way; (Neville nodded in agreement; he had used it to find the cards best suited to him) there's the Protego, which can temporarily create an invisible barrier around you; and the Accio, which can help you summon external aids, such as a flying broomstick."

Ron, not having heard about the 1000 Galleons, didn't seem to care as much as he did in the original timeline.

"Harry, just drop down the parchment with my name on it for me in a bit."

I'm going for a walk outside the castle with Lavender in a little while.

Fred and George didn't react much either.

"Ron, don't forget to work as much as you can when you have free time."

"Ms. Brown, I hope you can get Ron back to the lounge soon."

Recently, the prank supplies and Smoke Bomb that they and Ron worked on during the summer vacation have almost sold out.

They were rushing to finish the job and urging Ron to make more Smoke Bomb.

They had already forgiven Ron after giving him a severe beating in front of everyone.

Of course, this was also due to Ron's connections, which allowed Fred and George's products to also be sold at Devi's-Bans.

This is also why some things sell out so quickly and require urgent restocking.

Neither of them even put a parchment with their name on it into the Triwizard Tournament.

They disappeared again after finishing their meal.

"Where are the Neville?" Draco asked Harry as everyone finished eating and gathered around the Triwizard Tournament.

As for why he didn't ask Ron.

Because he had already seen Ron pulling Lavender toward the entrance Entrance Hall —outside the castle.

"Hey, over there." Harry gestured toward the Hufflepuff table.

There, Neville grinned and struck poses in front of Hannah.

After briefly observing Neville's antics, Draco walked over to Ron's original spot and sat down.

Then he asked, "What was Percy saying to you just now?"

Harry unfolded the parchment in his hand. "He thinks I must be Champion of Hogwarts."

He recommended some spells that are very likely to be used in the competition.

Draco looked at the spells. "They're pretty good. Just from the names, they seem very useful."

However, Draco quickly put down the parchment, realizing something from Harry's words.

"Wait, Harry, do you think you won't be Champion?"

You must be joking.

Who else could be placed under the wing of Professor X in their first year, face Voldemort head-on, and almost defeat him?

During summer vacation, he led us to Regulus. One of the key figures who destroyed Voldemort's immortality.

He developed physically in second grade and became the world's best Seeker.

Prophecy Voldemort's actions, forcing him to Azkaban, where he and his wandless minions ate rats.

During the summer vacation, she even awakened the power to travel to the world inside the mirror.

It can merge with another version of itself. It can also summon the Nether Dragon.

Sometimes I even feel that if Dumbledore didn't know you, you could defeat him by exploiting the information gap.

Besides you, who else can be Champion?

Let's not even talk about us Slytherin.

A bunch of good-for-nothings who know a little bit of Dark Magic.

Hufflepuff, Dudley is a world-class goalkeeper, possibly the best.

Cedric, his grades are very good.

He's a decent Quidditch team captain, but he's nowhere near as good as you.

Aside from his interpersonal skills, Percy was actually much better than him in every other aspect.

If the Champion allow two players, Fred and George are more likely.

"Hmm, is it possible that I don't want to vote?" Harry said.

He scratched the back of his head, looking quite embarrassed.

This prompted Ginny, who was standing nearby, to gasp in surprise.

Draco couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Aren't you being too naive?"

I just happened to see that many students in Slytherin alone have your name written on their names.

They all believe that only you can represent Hogwarts.

Not to mention the other colleges.

"Merlin's beard!" Harry slapped his forehead in frustration.

The First Task was on the afternoon of November 24th.

But what about the Second Task?

There is also Second Task, the team competition.

What if it happens to clash with his operation in April?

Harry, which had relaxed because of Grindelwald's pregnancy, became wary again.

Fortunately, there's still Neville.

If he is actually selected.

The match time just happened to clash with that incident.

At that time, Neville was his double.

The Polyjuice Potion, combined with Neville's demon-breaking constitution, would prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss with him.

Moreover, only Neville and he were on par in terms of physical ability at school.

He also discovered that Neville's insight was very keen.

He must have noticed those behavioral habits that he himself wasn't even aware of. Neville would have noticed them too.

Based on this combination, Neville shouldn't have been exposed, whether from a magical or purely physical perspective.

"Harry, Harry. Are you alright?"

"Harry," Draco and Ginny asked worriedly from the side.

"I was planning to have a peaceful semester."

Result--

Well.

"Let's go." Harry suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked, a little confused.

Ginny, following her husband's lead, stood up as well.

Harry, holding Ginny's hand, waved at Draco: "It's best to vote yourself."

You should join us too.

What if the Champion is one of the two of you?

That's great! This semester I can just be a student.
