Chapter 277 The Method of Cheating
Chapter 277 The Method of Cheating
The next day, Saturday, there will be no classes.
Generally speaking, most people sleep in late, but there are more people who get up early today.
When Nix woke up, he and Neville were the only ones in the dormitory, and everyone else was up.
When I entered the auditorium, I happened to see a senior Slytherin student who put a note with his name in the Goblet of Fire.This person is not well-known in school. I heard that he has stayed behind a grade, and he just caught up with the Goblet of Fire this year.
"Brother, this way," called Tifa from the Gryffindor table.
Beside her, Luna and Ginny chatted and ate breakfast.Nix sat down, and a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork porridge and some buns appeared in front of him.
Hermione, who was reading a book next to her, said, "Nix, you are putting a burden on the house elves. They have to cook an extra food just because of you."
"Then if you eat with me tomorrow, it will make them feel a lot easier. Believe me, two identical breakfasts save more effort than two different ones." Nix argued sophistry.
Hermione frowned, something was wrong.
Tifa said, "Brother, when will you help me get my autograph?"
Nix immediately said to Harry who was eating bread not far away: "Harry, please do something."
"If you mean autograph, don't look for me. I'm still worrying about how to get him to sign for me?" Harry was not far from the siblings and heard their conversation.
"No, I want to say, please help me talk to that Viktor Krum, I can make him faster, stronger, with better eyesight, and find the Golden Snitch earlier." Nix said.
"You still have such a potion?" Ron was shocked.
"But I don't know him," Harry said.
If Nix said meaningfully: "I will get to know you. After all, you are the famous Harry Potter. He will be honored if you take the initiative to talk to him."
"I always feel that Nix, you shouldn't come to Gryffindor." Hermione said: "Harry's reputation is used by you to promote potions, and only Slytherin can do it."
"You're biased." Before Nix could finish speaking, a burst of laughter interrupted him.
Several people looked back.
George and Fred and their roommate Lee Jordan hurried down the stairs, looking excited.
When passing Nix and others, Fred proudly said: "It's done."
"What?" Ron looked up.
"Aging agent, idiot."
"One drop per person." George rubbed his hands, excitedly: "We only need to grow up for a few more months."
Lee Jordan: "If one of us wins, the thousand gold Galleons will be divided equally among the three of us."
"I don't think you will succeed." Hermione reminded them: "Dumbledore must have thought of this."
Nix also interjected: "You are bound to fail, and I don't think my potion should be sold to you."
"why?"
"Maybe even if the potion is effective, it will be ineffective because you have been given special care. This will affect my reputation." Nix replied.
"Just watch, we'll make it."
"Ready, Fred."
"Come in together, George."
Standing on the edge of the age line, Fred and George jumped in together.
After a while, the two did not pop out.
There was cheering all around.
"The effect of their potion is better than the one in the morning, at least it didn't pop out immediately." Ginny said proudly.
Nix just wanted to ask about the situation.
Fred and George threw the names into the fire.
There was a crackling sound, and the twins were thrown out.
Their bodies have not changed, but they have grown white beards on their chins.Apparently they not only failed, but were punished a bit.
A long beard is very Dumbledore's style.
Everyone laughed when they saw their beards.
"I reminded you." Dumbledore's voice came from the main entrance of the auditorium: "I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey."
Nix looked at the age circle on the ground, thoughtful.
Before Dumbledore left, he asked, "Principal, how about I ask someone to take out the cup, put the name in it and put it back?"
"Well, you can try it. I also want to see what your beard looks like." Dumbledore said.
"Brother, do you want to try?" Tifa asked.
Nix shook his head: "Don't you think this is fun? It's like the principal asked us a difficult problem, and we tried our best to solve it."
Dumbledore nodded: "Come on, maybe it can really succeed."
Knicks carefully analyzed the failure of the twins just now. The age line on the ground was indeed deceived, but the curse that made the two have beards also came from the age line on the ground.
He felt that there was another spell in the flames, which would stop all Hogwarts underage students.There are two methods, one is the white list mode, enter the names of students who are of sufficient age into a form, and the names that are not in the form cannot pass.
Given that Harry would be a warrior, this approach is unlikely.
The other is the blacklist mode, in which the names of students who cannot participate are entered, and the age line on the ground will be activated if there is a name plus the school is found, and the people on the note will pop up.
The problem is that Harry can't get in either.Considering that Harry entered as the fourth warrior, the school following his name is most likely not Hogwarts.
It is very simple to prove this idea, as long as you know another school, write its name and throw it in, and it is correct if it does not trigger the age line.
"Hermione, do you know any other schools of magic besides our three schools?"
Hermione: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I have a way for us to participate, and the cost is not high." Nix said.
Ron became interested: "What way?"
"Don't write Hogwarts after the name, write other schools. You are the only one who voted for this school. As long as you accept the Goblet of Fire, you will definitely become a warrior." Nix explained.
"What if not?" Hermione asked.
"Then you need a powerful confusion spell." Nix looked at Tifa: "Or ask the referee to help you cheat."
"See what I do?" Tifa wondered.
"Ludo Bagman owes you money, and if he forgives the debt, he may really cheat you." Nix said.
Tifa's eyes lit up, then fell into thought.She knew that she was not strong enough, even if Ludo Bagman cheated for her, she would not be able to win. One Thousand Gold Gallon who wanted to win needed to find a warrior who could defeat the other contestants.
"Brother, who do you think is most likely to become a warrior and defeat the others, and get a thousand gold Galleons."
"Cedric Diggory."
Knowing that Cedric would not cheat with her, Tifa asked unwillingly, "Where are the others?"
"Harry." Nix replied, pointing at Harry.
Tifa turned her head: "Harry, let's cooperate, a thousand gold Galleons."
