HP wants to be boss at Hogwarts

Chapter 118 Check the spell

Halfway through Potions class, Colin suddenly knocked on the door of the classroom and said that he would take Harry and Minnow upstairs, probably to take pictures or something. .

Snape smiled brightly and asked Mino to hurry over, and asked if Mino was nervous.

"No," Mino blinked, "I just can't continue taking Potions class."

"Potions class can be held at any time, go ahead." Snape patted Mino's head kindly, and then looked at Harry with a cold face, "Potter, leave your things here, I want Come back later and test your antidote."

Harry had calmed down, but Colin piped up nervously: "I'm sorry, sir - he's got to take his stuff with him, all the warriors -"

"Oh, Professor Snape, I will come back to you." Harry said quickly, then packed up his things and followed Colin out of the classroom with Mino.

Mino covered his eyes, which were flashed by the badge worn by Colin, and asked: "Why are they taking pictures, Colin?"

"Probably in the Daily Prophet!" Colin said happily, leading the way with long strides.

"Great," Harry said glumly, "Just what I wanted. Further embarrassment."

Minnow comforted Harry and said, "Where's the Daily Prophet? Maybe there's Skeeter, and then we're both doomed."

Harry sighed deeply and said, "Let Parkinson replace Skeeter as soon as possible."

Mino nodded with deep sympathy, and decided to urge Parkinson to study hard when he returned, so that he could start a new newspaper to replace the Daily Prophet as soon as he graduated.

"Good luck to you," Colin said as they arrived outside the room.Harry and Mino knocked on the door and walked in.

This is a smaller classroom. Most of the desks have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle. However, there are three desks placed side by side in front of the blackboard, covered with a long velvet. .Behind the velvet-covered desk, there were five chairs. On one of them sat Ludo Bagman. He was talking to a witch that Harry and Minnow had never seen before. The witch was wearing a red dress. robe.

"It must be Skeeter." Minnow whispered to Harry, and then his mind began to race, thinking about how to prevent Skeeter from using her ability to confuse right and wrong.

"Mino!" Fleur ran over enthusiastically, gave Mino a big hug, and then kissed Mino.

"Harry." Cedric came over and shook Harry's hand, formally and rigorously, although Harry's expression was a little confused.

"Ah, they're here! The fourth and fifth warriors! Come here quickly... There's nothing to worry about. It's just a wand testing ceremony. The other referees will be here soon -"

"Detection wand?" Harry asked uneasily.

"We must check whether your wands are fully functional and in good condition, because in future competitions, wands will be your most important equipment." Bagman said, "The experts are upstairs with Dumbledore. Then take some pictures. This is Rita Skeeter," he said, pointing to the witch in red robes. "She is writing a short article about the Contest for the Daily Prophet... …”

"A small article?" Mino muttered.

"Maybe not that little, Ludo," Skeeter said, eyes moving back and forth between Harry and Minnow.

Minnow smiled at Skeeter and decided to put a sack on Skeeter after she wrote something disgusting.I don’t know what color sack she prefers.

"Before we begin, can I have a word with Harry and Minnow?" Skeeter asked Bagman, but still keeping his eyes firmly on Harry and Minnow, "The youngest warriors, you know... To add some color to the article.”

"No problem!" Bagman said loudly, "Just - I wonder if Harry and Mino object?"

"No!" Mino said loudly immediately. She had not yet figured out how to compete with the marketing account.

"Oh, good boy, don't be shy."

"I think Miss Skeeter will not go against Harry and I's wishes," Mino blinked innocently, "After all, we can't guarantee what you will write about us, so we can only refuse you."

Harry looked at Minnow with admiration.

Minnow thought this was the best way, but Skeeter would still write randomly, but at least Harry would not be harmed by Skeeter.

"How do you think I will write about you?" Skeeter raised his eyebrows, "I just need to conduct some small interviews..."

"Some random and exaggerated nonsense?" Mino still looked at Skeeter obediently, "I don't think Harry and I need to use this method to enhance our reputation - to be honest, Miss Skeeter, Your article is the most ridiculous I have ever read.”

Harry said immediately: "I'm so sorry, Minnow just likes to tell the truth."

"Ah, I must have said it right, right?" Mino covered his mouth in a pretentious manner, "This is just my suggestion, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Mino knew that Skeeter would definitely edit him in the new article, maybe write himself as a rebellious child who has no respect for his elders, but it didn't matter, because Mino was thick-skinned and didn't care about that.But Harry is different. He tends to get into trouble very easily, so it's a bit awkward now that he's forced to compete.

"I don't think Rita will argue with you, Minnow." Dumbledore smiled and walked down the stairs, followed by Karkaroff, Ms. Maxim, Mr. Crouch and Ollie. Vander.

Mino said hello one by one, especially the pronunciation of Karkaroff, which successfully made Karkaroff glare at her angrily.

The ceremony was about to begin, and Skeeter couldn't say anything else. Minnow just wanted to say that Dumbledore came at the right time. Although Skeeter shut up not because of Dumbledore - she described Dumbledore as a The rigid old madman obviously wouldn't shut up because of Dumbledore.

"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander." Dumbledore said to the players after sitting down at the referee's table. "He will be checking your wands to ensure that the spells are in good condition before the game."

"Miss Delacour, you come first, okay?" Ollivander said, standing in the open space in the center of the room.

Fleur walked lightly to Ollivander and handed him her wand.

"Hmm..." Ollivander pondered, twirling the wand with his long fingers like a baton.The wand sprayed out some pink and gold sparks.Then he brought his wand to his eyes and looked carefully.

"That's right," Ollivander said softly, "nine inches...very elastic...made of maple...and contains...oh my god..."

"Contains a veela's hair," Fleur said, "my grandmother's hair."

"Ron's right," Harry whispered, "she really has Veela blood."

"Yes," said Ollivander, "Yes, of course, I have never used Veela hair myself. I think wands made of Veela hair are too sensitive and willful... But everyone has their own Hobby, since it suits you..."

Ollivander ran his fingers along the wand, apparently searching for scratches and bumps.Then he muttered, "The orchids are blooming!" and a bouquet of flowers bloomed from the tip of the wand.

"Very good, very good, working in good condition." Ollivander took out the flowers and handed them to Fleur along with the wand, "Mr. Diggory, it's your turn."

Fleur returned to her seat with brisk steps, and when she passed by Mino, she smiled brightly at her.

"Ah, this is my product, isn't it?" Ollivander said as Cedric handed over the wand, much more excited than before, "Yes, I remember it very clearly. There is a special one in it. The plucked hair from the beautiful male unicorn's tail... must have been five or six feet long. I plucked the unicorn's tail hair and he almost poked a hole in me with his horn. One-twelve and one-quarter inches...made of ash...excellent elasticity. Excellent condition...do you care for it regularly?”

"Just wiped it last night," Cedric said, grinning.

Mino looked down at his charm and found that it was very clean. He remembered that Astoria cherished his charm very much and would help take care of Mino's charm while taking care of her own charm.

It was obvious that there was no such person around Harry. His wand was covered with fingerprints.

"It's good to have an attentive roommate," Mino said in a low voice, "Oh, why is your wand so dirty? Isn't it true that some people don't take care of their wands?"

Fleur looked at Minnow with approval and glanced at Harry haughtily.

Harry held his wand and rolled his eyes at Minnow, earning a genuine eye roll from Draco.

Ollivander let Cedric's wand blow out a string of silvery white smoke rings, and the smoke rings floated from one end of the room to the other. He expressed satisfaction and said, "Mr. Krum, it's your turn."

Mino felt that Krum seemed to have been listless and listless, as if he had been exploring the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.

"Well," Ollivander said, "if I'm not mistaken, it's a Gregorovitch product. He's an excellent wandmaker, although his style isn't something I'm particularly...yet... …”

He raised his wand, turning it over and over before his eyes, examining it carefully.

"That's right...hornbeam wood contains the heart tendons of the fire dragon, right?" He glanced at Krum - Krum nodded, "Much thicker than what people usually see...very Hard...ten and a quarter inches...flock of birds!"

The hornbeam wand made a loud bang, like a gun being fired, and a flock of birds flapped their wings and flew out from the wand head, flying into the faint sunlight from the open window.

"Very well," Ollivander said, handing the wand back to Krum, "and the last two...Mr. Potter and Miss Potter...Mr. Potter, you go first."

Minnow patted the back of Harry's hand gently.
