Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

A sinister voice sounded, and Snape stood beside Dudley without him knowing.

Snape was telling Karkaroff with his actions that this is my student and I will protect him.

"Snape" Karkaroff looked at Snape with a gloomy face, but rarely did he continue to press him.

Karkaroff and Snape were old acquaintances. They knew each other when they were working for the same person.

Dudley knew that Snape was helping him, and his heart warmed slightly.

Snape is okay except that he has a sharp tongue and is a little protective of his people. As for his teaching level, as long as you can tolerate his venom and have a big heart that will not be affected by his venom, you can actually learn a lot from his classes. The key is that when students are in danger, he will really help them.

This alone is enough to beat countless professors and teachers.

"You will know later that I am just stating a fact."

Chapter 273: The Three-Strike Tournament? No, Actually, the Four-Strike Tournament

Dudley's words once again successfully attracted the hatred of Madame Maxime and Karkaroff.

"We must abide by the regulations. The regulations clearly stipulate that anyone whose name appears in the Goblet of Fire must compete in the Triwizard Tournament." Lucius, the special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic, spoke at this time, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

He was in another corner of the room, seemingly trying to avoid Karkaroff and avoid contact with him as much as possible.

Ludo Bagman quickly agreed in a flattering manner. Although logically speaking, he was the Director of the Department of Sports and Games of the Ministry of Magic and the main leader of the Triwizard Tournament, he now voluntarily took the second place.

The Malfoy family is famous for being wealthy, and Ludo Bagman is in debt recently. He plans to borrow some Galleons from old Malfoy.

"I think we can organize a re-enrollment." Karkaroff spoke again, his face looking very ugly at this time: "There can only be one warrior in a school, this is fair."

At the mention of the word fair, Dudley glanced up at him.

Indeed, it is fair to have one warrior for each school. But Harry was not enrolled as a Hogwarts student. Instead, someone enrolled Harry in another school.

Even if Harry wins the championship it doesn't mean Hogwarts has won.

So strictly speaking this is not a three-way tournament, but a four-way tournament.

"There is a magical contract inside the Goblet of Fire that cannot be ignited before the next Triwizard Tournament." Bagman continued, "It is an ancient contract that must be followed once the selection is made. So this time the list has been determined and must be completed."

"Durmstrang will never participate in the next tournament!" Karkaroff said secretly.

"Beauxbatons will never participate either." Maxime also expressed his opinion.

"No matter how the next game goes, what we should discuss now is this game." Dumbledore ignored the harsh words of the two headmasters. Even if he said this now, the next time the game would be another matter. Whether they would still be the headmasters in the next competition would be another matter.

"Looks like we'll have to have Dudley and Harry play at the same time."

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, he added another sentence.

"If the two principals have a better approach, I'm all ears."

What better way could they have? As Bagman said, there was an ancient contract magic inside the Goblet of Fire, and once it was signed, it could not be lifted without completing the game.

The only thing we can do now is to go ahead with the competition.

"Although there are two champions at Hogwarts, in fact, both of them are under the age of 17."

“It’s a lie.”

Both Dudley and Harry have body sizes far beyond that of an average person. If you say that they are both children under the age of 17, who would believe it?

Dumbledore was a little helpless. He really didn't lie. Both Harry and Dudley were only 14 years old.

"Please ask Mr. Bagman to give some guidance to the four warriors."

Bagman was not polite. He walked up to the group and said directly, "The first task is to test your courage. The courage to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard."

Here, Bagman was giving a brief explanation to the warriors participating in the competition. In the hall, the little wizards were all in a mess, chattering non-stop.

"Why did Harry vote behind our backs?" Ron asked his companions in the discipline group in a low voice while lying on the table.

"It could have been anyone who voted, but it definitely wouldn't have been Harry."

Draco said seriously, his face looked very unhappy, and his eyes occasionally glanced towards the room where Dudley and the others were.

Ron, Harry's best friend, doubts him, but Draco, who likes to confront Harry, firmly believes in him.

Luckily, Ron just complained a bit, and he actually believed that Harry would not leave him alone.

Not long after, Dudley and the others came out of the small room and sat back in their original seats.

Dumbledore did not explain anything to everyone. He just said a few simple words and announced the end of the banquet.

The fact that there were two warriors in total at Hogwarts caused quite a stir.

Harry suddenly became the focus of the entire school.

After all, compared with Dudley, his cousin + savior has been too low-key in recent years.

The Gryffindors naturally supported Harry, but they wanted to know from Harry how to pass the age line;

The young Hufflepuff wizards felt a little sorry that Cedric could not take part in the competition, and immediately joined in supporting Dudley and Harry;

Ravenclaw prefers Dudley, after all, he is often seen in the library;

For Slytherin it doesn't matter whether Mr. Potter wins the match or Mr. Dursley wins the match.

Before the end of the Triwizard Tournament, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will stay in Hogwarts and take classes with the young wizards from the four major colleges. Well, they will be in the same grade as them.

Except for a younger kid from Beauxbatons, all other students are at the level of sixth graders at Hogwarts.

Although the contents taught in the three schools are slightly different, one can still learn some knowledge. The level of professors at Hogwarts is slightly higher than that of the other two schools.

Especially in Potions class, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons simply cannot keep up with the progress of Hogwarts. It is obviously the sixth grade, but Hogwarts has already started teaching seventh grade content.

What kind of monsters are there in Hogwarts?

Looking at the young wizards at Hogwarts, each of them holding a measuring cup with scales on it, exquisitely crafted test tubes, and incredibly precise scales, and then looking at his own crude potion tools that looked like those of primitive people, a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

Especially when he saw that Hogwarts's advanced potion concepts far surpassed those of his own school, he was shocked beyond words.

Fortunately, they are only studying in the sixth grade. If they go to the fourth grade to audit, it won’t be a matter of inferiority complex. The learning progress of the fourth grade is already at the same level as the sixth grade, or even a little faster.

A little difference here and a little difference there, when added together, is more than just a little difference, and that's how the gap is widened.

After just one week of study and exchange, the young wizards from the two schools have clearly realized the gap between themselves and Hogwarts.

It’s really curly.

It is totally different from the joyful teaching in my own school.

Especially when they heard that in addition to the four major colleges, Hogwarts also had a legendary disciplinary group that single-handedly overwhelmed the four major colleges and was in charge of students from grades one to six. And the Hogwarts warrior Dursley was the head of this disciplinary group.

Many young wizards have begun to worry that the warriors from their own schools will be defeated by the warriors from Hogwarts.

Both in a physical and magical sense.

The order of 268 and 269 is messed up. I contacted the editor and can only wait for the editor to come to work on Monday to adjust it.

Chapter 274 Professor Moody, I would like to ask you a magic trick

After spending some time at Hogwarts, Karkaroff and Maxime reluctantly accepted the fact that Hogwarts had two champions.

There is no way to refuse to accept it. The matter is done. Even the Ministry of Magic, which is responsible for this matter, stands on the side of Hogwarts.

Acceptance is one thing, but it doesn't mean they have no opinions. Every time they see a professor at Hogwarts, they will express their protest with a cold snort.

Dumbledore?snort!

Snape? Humph!

Meg? Humph!

There was a lot of humming and dancing, especially during meal times. All the professors at Hogwarts were there, and the humming was so intermittent that it almost became a song.

Only in the wizarding world there is no such thing as ghost videos, otherwise there would be at least a few videos.

However, all this is just helpless humming.

Nothing can be changed

The principals of the two schools were holding their breath, waiting for the first game of the top three tournament to begin, determined to get good results in this first game.

------

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Moody was speaking at the podium in his unique accent.

The magic eye on the left keeps rotating, like a 365° surveillance camera, always monitoring the students' every move.

No student dared to be absent from his class or do anything else unrelated to the course content.

Of course, his courses are actually very popular with everyone. According to Gryffindor, Moody's teaching method is very "cool", especially after the students from the other two schools joined, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class became the most popular course in Durmstrang, which is very close to the courses usually taught in their school. Durmstrang School is the school with the most relaxed management of the Dark Arts among the three major schools in Europe.

By the way, the most annoying class is Potions, which is even more annoying than Divination. The main reason is that I can't keep up with the learning progress.

Although Moody is teaching defense against black magic, he is actually teaching black magic most of the time. In his words, if you want to better defend against black magic, you must first specialize in black magic.

What you say is convincing and well-reasoned.

Especially his identity as a former Auror, which deepened this persuasiveness.

Professor Moody has extensive theoretical knowledge of black magic and can answer any questions about it.

"You are already in the fourth grade and have been taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for so long. Have you figured out the difference between dark magic and ordinary magic?"

Moody stood on the stage, looking down at the young wizards below, and said, "Can anyone tell me what the definition of dark magic is?"

There is no doubt that the first person to raise her hand was Hermione.

"Black magic is evil magic, which is mainly aimed at harming others, through curses, spells, direct or indirect spells, etc., to achieve the purpose of murder, disease, confusion, enslavement, etc."

Hermione stood up and answered Moody's questions very crisply.

"Very good, Miss Granger, you have perfectly recited the notes on the Dark Arts in the textbook."

Moody nodded, confirming Hermione's answer, but he didn't look very satisfied: "But this is not comprehensive, are there any other answers?"

He looked around and saw that none of the little wizards raised their hands. Just as he was about to answer the question himself, Hermione raised her hand again.

"Miss Granger, do you have anything to add?"

Hermione nodded and stood up in a very standard posture.

"Professor, the definition of black magic in the magic world is not particularly clear. It is not clearly divided like light and dark. So far, there is no definite answer, but according to the regulations on evil magic made by the Wizard Council in 1016 (the Ministry of Magic had not yet been established at that time), the following situations will be defined as black magic: First, it is a derogatory term for immoral magic that harms others; second, it is magic that is used to satisfy one's own desires and wants; third, it can cause great pain to the recipient; fourth, it is powerful, has strong destructiveness, is difficult to repair, and will bring irreversible consequences; fifth, the caster has the subjective intention to hurt others; sixth, the caster can recognize the effects of this magic based on the fifth point; seventh, it is for improper purposes and is not necessary."

"In addition, in 1750, on the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Auror Office made additional regulations. Secret rituals of death, framing, control, etc. were also included in the scope of dark magic."

“And then there was 1908.”

Don't doubt Hermione's professionalism in magic theory. In Dudley's words, she is like a living encyclopedia of magic theory. As long as you want to know questions, you can get answers from her.

Moody looked like he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and no words came out.

He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. He really didn't know the origin history of the term black magic.

Granger's explanation made it seem like it was really the case.

It's just a bit different from the answer he prepared.

"A very perfect answer, 5 points for the disciplinary group."

He originally wanted to explain that there is no connection between black magic and dark wizards, to blur everyone's inherent impression of black magic. Fourth graders, who are neither too young nor too young, are most likely to be influenced by outsiders.

Then he can teach some special black magic. Since we were interrupted, we can only discuss it later.

Moody thought gloomily.

The dark wizards in the Harry Potter world seem to be very keen on teaching others dark magic, especially teaching young wizards dark magic.

The devil who must not be named originally wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

The original rhythm was disrupted, and Moody had to temporarily change the subject and instead teach everyone all the skills to deal with dark wizards.

Fortunately, he has extensive experience in this area.

Soon, the two Defense Against the Dark Arts classes came to an end.

"Professor Moody, I would like to ask you to teach me a magic trick."

When Professor Moody was packing up his teaching materials and about to leave the classroom, he was stopped by a voice behind him.
