"what happens?"
The twins, who had just finished class and were in a hurry to change into their clothes so they could run to the Room of Requirement, were lured by a noisy crowd before they could even run up the stairs.
"God, this is too..."
"Maybe it's a good thing..."
…
There were countless comments among the noisy crowd, making the corridor look like a chicken coop.
"Borrowed it, borrowed it!"
They spoke in voices that could be heard by others, and then squeezed to the front of the crowd - at the front of the crowd, a new announcement was posted on the college's bulletin board.
[notify:
After discussion among the four schools, the warrior selection time for this Triwizard Tournament remains unchanged, but each school will select four warriors to form a warrior team for the team competition. Students who intend to participate are expected to be well prepared.
...]
Fred and George looked at each other, seeing confusion and helplessness on each other's faces.
Why do they understand every word, but when added together...
What are four schools, and what will happen if the Warriors suddenly become four?
"The bounty has also been increased!"
A student shouted loudly, and the twins cast their gaze decisively behind the notice - as expected, they had ignored the bonus because of the huge shock.
The four winning warriors will equally share a huge prize of up to eight thousand galleons.
'In other words, two thousand per person? '
The twins looked at each other and said, 'That means that if the two of us compete together, it will be four thousand Galleons at once? '
Once this number comes to mind, it can never be forgotten - four thousand galleons, a mountain of gold coins...
"Four warriors!"
Everyone was excited - if you choose a warrior, you have to have extremely strong confidence in yourself, but if you choose four at once... what if!
"Also, the qualification selection for minors is about to begin. It says that interested students can sign up to receive review materials related to the qualification exam!"
"Hey, it really is!"
The students whose minds were occupied by Galleon noticed this matter after being reminded by attentive people, and then everyone decisively chose to go over and ask for a copy of the information - although they were adults, the professor would never do it for such a reason. Reject their desire to learn, right?
"Let's go, let's go. The materials are in the self-defense class office. Let's go get the materials together!"
The Gryffindors celebrated happily, and then decided to form a group to collect information together.
——
"You call such a thick book an exam review material? Moreover, its quality..."
In the big office, Lupine, who had no classes, helplessly flipped through thick books, and then stacked them up with magic. William made an appointment directly with the bookseller, sent the manuscript to him and printed it with the simplest package. Batch, just arrived. The only advantage of these books is that they are cheap enough.
"Just make do with it, knowledge is important, it doesn't matter what the carrier is - if I choose the expensive package, those bookstores will probably hate me to death."
William looked at this batch of review materials, which cost only seventeen Knuts each, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Professor Luping, believe it or not, even though these things are junk, if I were willing to let those correspondence courses organize, their quality would at least triple."
"I believe it ten times -" Lu Ping shook his head. He had no interest in betting, and he had been short of galleons all year round. He knew very well that if this thing cost three times, it would still be a low-quality book. "But, you passed the exam. ?"
"That's not the case. It takes a while to prepare. It's just enough for them to study hard, so as not to brush them all off and blame me for the difficult questions."
…
Lu Ping shook his head and decided to give up the objection. There were three people in the same office, so he was quite normal.
"However, there are too many materials. Are you planning to give one copy to even first-year students?"
"After passing the selection exam, most of these things will be thrown away as waste paper, so this low-quality version is the best choice."
William looked at the paper with disgust, and added something that made Lu Ping want to complain, "Besides, they will only choose to copy most of the information down if the quality is so poor that it will be damaged if it is flipped a little - Regardless of the poor quality of the paper, at least there is a spell on it to prevent copying."
"Copying it once will allow them to memorize a little more knowledge - it's rare to have so many galleons to tempt them. Normally they wouldn't have the conditions to do this."
These words already made the image of a student who was cursing and copying appear before Lu Ping's eyes.
"But this is too..."
Lupine shook his head - the effect might be good, but it would kind of damage the school's reputation.
"Oh, that's what you said, it's harmless - the version we printed is also a delivery version, and is used uniformly by the four schools."
Isn't that worse?
Lupine looked at William, a little confused.
William opened the title page and said, "This book is fully sponsored by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and will be printed and presented as a gift. Reproduction is strictly prohibited."
The name of Ilvermorny is very clear and obvious in a particularly large font.
"They sponsored Galleons for the whole journey, and I promoted it and helped them save money. It's really not easy..."
William looked serious, "It is available in all editions, even if it is a translated version, this sentence must be written on it."
"this…"
Lu Ping hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to give up - he also worked overtime...
"The letter sent by the Ministry of Magic after they spent money on it was really uncomfortable to watch..." William explained smoothly, "Although the letter sent to Hogwarts had a good attitude...but the letter with a commanding tone … Let's give them a little equal joke."
——
"Such a thick review material..."
"The quality of straw paper is better than this... let alone parchment paper, it feels even worse than the recycled paper used by Muggles..."
"Still dizzy with ink..."
The child in Ravenclaw who had received the reference material screamed in despair - he preferred to record some random thoughts in books, but in this situation, even if he didn't do anything, this crappy book would die for him in a minute.
"I dare say, this thing only costs one Sickle... It reminds me of the Explosive-tailed Skrewt I just raised today..."
The students complained naturally, and then noticed the damn message on the title page.
Complaints naturally arise - how stingy the people of Ilvermorny are, how can they be so economical with this kind of information?
But fortunately, the quantity was enough, one portion per person did not need to be shared, and in addition to the reputation of not charging a kats, everyone was cursing and thanking at the same time - the thanks were because of this information, and the scolding was also because of this information.
"Yeah...the trial is still a month away..."
The twins bared their teeth and looked at the thin and transparent information in the book. "I always feel that studying for one month is almost equivalent to taking OWLs for another month."
"It would be great if we were adults..."
"It's no use being an adult. Many seventh-grade guys also got one. The quality of this thing is too poor..."
George frowned and said, "Let's just learn from it, we will have a hard time this month..."
——
"Harry, how are you feeling?"
"The material is poor. The people in Ilvermorny did something, but they were stingy."
"It's not the material... I'm talking about the content!"
Ron raised his voice slightly, but it was still very low - this was already the second day since the two of them had formed a team to study the information, and it was also the seventh day since the information was distributed to them.
'This is necessary to prevent Hermione's ridicule! '
Ron said so emphatically, and Harry agreed after hesitating for a moment.
It's not that they are ostracizing Hermione, but... the pressure is too much, too much.
On the first day after getting the reference material, Hermione solved most of the above problems very quickly - while many fourth graders were still pondering the contents of the first few pages.
These days, Hermione has been obsessed with spending every day in the library to deal with the remaining problems, and she is almost obsessed.
"We could definitely get her help if we asked, but..."
Ron didn't say the rest, but Harry knew exactly what Ron wanted to express - they actually didn't pay that much attention when researching the information these days, after all, there were always unexpected situations.
Hermione responded with a mocking attitude towards their behavior of going out to say something or enjoying the sunshine while studying the information...
'What am I thinking about...'
Harry came back to his senses and began to answer Ron's question, "The comprehensive difficulty level is too high and completely beyond the scope of our study. I dare say that Hermione has definitely studied the content of fifth grade, and she is estimated to have studied it now." I have the level to pass the OWLs exam."
However, Ron no longer cared what he said, "Ah, are you here to review too, Lavender?"
"Yeah, that information..."
"Want to study together?"
…
Ten minutes later, Harry decisively found an excuse and left there...it was too depressing.
'Why don't you go find a professor for training? '
'It's impossible... He said right at the beginning of school that due to some special circumstances this semester, the training plan for the previous school year was temporarily suspended. '
"Professor Lu Ping probably won't do it either... He also said it's the same agreement..."
After sending another letter to Sirius, Harry, who had nothing to do, finally decided to learn from Ron...
"Qiu should be studying it too...but I can really keep up with the fifth graders..."
However, when he was anxiously preparing to discuss those issues with Qiu, he discovered that compared to Qiu, he had a pretty good grasp on many issues.
Even if he hasn't mastered the relevant knowledge, he can already use spells skillfully and even replace them with spells with similar effects - to put it simply, he doesn't even know the principles, but he can already use them skillfully. .
"Let's move on to the next one!"
Qiu said to him with a hint of surprise, "If you imagine yourself being chased, what spell should you use to escape?"
"Hmm... transform the back road into a swamp, use the transformation spell to transform the clothes into the surrounding environment, find the nearest water source... ah, and set up simple traps."
"It still lacks the use of the standard Illusion Charm and several invisible potions..."
Cho added, the surprise on her face getting stronger, which made Harry's self-confidence suddenly swell.
——
"Why did Ilvermorny provoke that Professor William? A good support booklet was ruined like this."
On Durmstrang's campus, Karkaroff smiled very happily while holding a reference manual.
As if it was an appointment, the poor quality manuals they sent out were also printed with words of thanks for the sponsorship - although it seemed that the poor quality was just to disgust Ilvermorny, but what if it happened?
Besides, there is no pressure on them from the disgusting Ilvermorny side.
"I heard it. It seems to be the reason for that, Umbridge, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic - she is a bit... well, how should I put it, too superstitious about power and blood."
"A professor who has been in office for three years, although she has the Order of Merlin Level 2, has not been to Azkaban after all... She is the deputy minister, so her tone of command makes her a bit..."
"She is so stupid, how dare she directly order the professor in this situation?"
"Who knows, maybe it will be a little stupider..."
Beck smiled in response and Karkaroff shook his head.
"Ilvermorny actually gave her money?"
"You can't give it to the minister. That would be too deliberate. When the deputy minister does something, doesn't Fudge get the main credit in the end?"
Professor Baker smiled and nodded, "Then we will give it to students like this?"
"Send it on, blame it, thank you. After all, I have paid for it - Ilvermorny really has a lot of money, and he is worthy of being a nouveau riche who founded the school two hundred years ago... Herbal medicines and magical creatures in the Americas It's really too rich…"
Thinking of something, he added, "By the way, remember to pay the authorization fee to the professor when you asked for the test papers in the past. I don't want our students to have to use this kind of paper to answer questions - after paying such a high tuition fee, we can't use it again." With this kind of paper, they will think that our school is too poor to continue running..."
"Yes, Principal."
——
"Congratulations everyone, the assessment is over."
"In two days, we will post the list of minors allowed to register on the notice board in the lounge. Please pay attention to it. Okay, the assessment is over, please leave your seats."
William happily collected the test paper - the three hundred galleons of the test paper that he got yesterday was quite pleasant. Although it was not much, one hundred galleons for each of the three families, it was still a bit of extra money.
"But Ilvermorny is really willing to send a letter to apologize... I underestimated them..."
"But what's going on with that idiot Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic... That Umbridge... She's so insane... She dares to lose her temper in any situation? I'm afraid she's not a fool who even dares to call the Dementors shameless after entering Azkaban. Already…"
He shook his head and began to review the test paper - it was considered a semi-open book test, but some of the questions were rated as very difficult, so it was considered a threshold.
It was difficult to pass this paper, not to mention that he planned to discuss with Professor McGonagall to find out if it was impossible to get a percentage of people to screen out more unsuitable candidates.
'You have to hide it from them and tell them about one person in one college...'
'The sorting ceremony is like this, how else can it be...'
"That's it. The passing rate for minors in the sixth grade is almost 70%...for the fifth grade, it's about 10%...only four in the fourth grade - four passing ones?"
He took out the paper again to make sure that he was not mistaken - four passes was too many. Why was he so failed in control?
'It's outrageous, it's really...'
However, there were no more problems in the third grade, and everyone below the third grade failed.
"Four people..."
The first in Ravenclaw, the first in Gryffindor, Granger, and Harry...and the Slytherin...huh?
'Why do you still have this? '
Draco Malfoy, will pass, the one with the lowest score.
