After being threatened by Ye Ting, Barty Crouch Jr. became suspicious. He deeply suspected that his identity as Moody had been discovered by this genius, so he was at a high level for several days in a row. I was so nervous that I couldn't even sleep, and I was always worried that Dumbledore would come to my door.

However, the real situation made him finally breathe a sigh of relief. Dumbledore did not doubt him.

This situation is either because he thinks too much, or the genius is just suspicious, or for other reasons, he does not tell Dumbledore the truth. No matter what the reason is, he is safe for the time being. of. .

However, since then, he has maintained a deep respect for Ye Ting and has always avoided him, for fear that he would offend him again and his identity would be exposed.

In the subsequent black magic defense class, he continued his previous routine and let the little necromancers at Hogwarts experience the Unforgivable Curse for themselves - for sure, he would not dare to use only the Soul-Impering Curse and the Cruciatus Killing Curse. of.

In class, he asked his classmates to take turns coming forward and reciting the Imperius Curse to them. Harry saw that under the influence of the spell, the students performed the most abnormal behavior one after another. For example, Dean Thomas jumped around the classroom three times while singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown impersonates a squirrel. Neville performed a series of amazing gymnastics moves that he would never be able to do under normal circumstances.

However, he never dared to ask Ye Ting to come forward and experience the Imperius Curse, and he did not even dare to provoke Hermione Granger. This made the rumor among his classmates that "Professor Moody is afraid of Ye Ting" more and more true. .

Hermione was actually a little dissatisfied with the current situation. Miss Know-It-All would rather eat the pus from the Bobo tuber than miss such a class. Professor Moody was not interested in her "can't afford to offend and can afford to hide" attitude. It made her very depressed, but she knew that Ye Ting's threat to Professor Moody was just to vent his anger on her, so she would not vent her anger on Ye Ting, and could only be depressed by herself.

She felt much better until Ye Ting assured her that she would not be affected by the Soul-Impering Curse if she could transform into Dragon.

Although the magic resistance of Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Penello in human form cannot be compared with that in Dragon form, magic involving the spirit and soul is another matter.

It is late October, and the homework of the little necromancers has become more and more heavy. All the fourth grade students have noticed that the homework they have to do this semester has increased significantly.

According to the professors, they are entering an important period of magic education, and their O.W.Ls exam is approaching - although it is in fifth grade, the little necromancers need to be prepared now.

Professor Binns, the ghost who taught them the history of magic, assigned them to write a paper about the goblin rebellion in the eighteenth century; Professor Snape forced them to research the antidote, and they did not take it lightly because Professor Snape He hinted that he would poison one of them before Christmas to see if their antidote would work; Professor Flitwick asked them to read three more books in preparation for learning the Flying Charm; even Hagrid also burdened them.

In this regard, most small necromancers are complaining, but there is still good news.

Because a big notice was erected in the foyer:

Triwizard Tournament

Representatives from Booth Barton and Durmstrang will arrive at 6pm on Friday 30 October. Afternoon classes will end half an hour early.

The notice that appeared in the foyer had a clear impact on those who lived in the castle.

In the next week, no matter where Ye Ting went, people seemed to only talk about one topic: the Triwizard Tournament.

Rumors spread quickly among the students, like highly contagious germs: who will compete to be the Hogwarts Champion, what events will be included in the Tournament, what will Booth Barton and Durmstrang students have to do with them? different.

Among them, Roger Davis of Ravenclaw and Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff have the strongest voices. In addition, the little necromancers always look at Ye Ting with regret, as if his decision not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament was a huge mistake.

Senior necromancers with more business acumen began to sell age-enhancing agents among the younger necromancers, and many young necromancers who thought they had some strength paid for them. It's as if they are more powerful than those senior necromancers except for their age.

Additionally, the castle appears to be undergoing a thorough cleaning. Several dirty portraits were scrubbed clean, and the scrubbed figures were dissatisfied. They sat huddled in the picture frame, muttering unhappily, and grimacing in pain every time they touched the newly exposed pink flesh on their faces. The armor in the castle suddenly became shiny and no longer creaked when moving.

When Argus Filch, the janitor, saw that a student had forgotten to clean his shoes, he flew into a rage that scared two first-year girls into hysterics.

On the morning of October 30, when they went downstairs for breakfast, they found that the auditorium had been decorated overnight.

Huge amounts of silk banners hang on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house: red with a golden lion for Gryffindor, blue with a bronze eagle for Ravenclaw, and yellow with a bronze eagle. The one with a black badger on the base is Hufflepuff and the one with ten silver boas on the green base is Slytherin.

Behind the teacher's desk hangs the largest banner, which is the coat of arms of Hogwarts: lion, eagle, badger, and snake joined together, surrounding a large letter H.

That day, there was a joyful mood of anticipation in the air. In class, no one paid attention to the lecture. Everyone was thinking that people from Booth Barton and Durmstrang were coming tonight. Even Potions class wasn't as unbearable as usual because it had to end half an hour early.

When the bell rang early, the little necromancers returned to the 387 tower of the college's lounge one after another, put down their schoolbags and textbooks as ordered, put on their cloaks, and then rushed down the stairs to the foyer in three steps at a time.

Deans of colleges are ordering their students to line up.

They filed down the steps and lined up in front of the castle. It was a cold evening with fresh air, and night was falling. Ten white, translucent moons hung over the Forbidden Forest.

The little necromancers were excitedly discussing how Booth Barton and Durmstrang's people would get here.

As a prefect, Zhang Qiu stood at the bottom. She looked at her watch, looked at the driveway leading to the front door, turned back to her companion and asked, "How do you think they will come? By train?"

"I think not," said Hermione.

"Then how come? Flying broomstick?" Zhang Qiu guessed, looking up at the starry sky.

"I don't think it's from that far away..."

"Portkey?" Marietta interjected, "Or they could apparate—perhaps in their part of the world apparation is allowed for people under seventeen?"

"Apparition is not allowed in the grounds of Hogwarts, I remember I reminded you." Zhang Qiu said.

They excitedly scanned the gradually darkening venue, but saw no movement. Everything was silent and peaceful, just like normal.

Just when the girls were a little impatient, Ye Ting suddenly said: "If I guessed correctly, they are here.".
