Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 627: A Bad Joke
".
1. Hogwarts
2nd Place: Durmstrang

Third place: Beauxbatons
Fourth place: Castrobus
This success or failure is only temporary.

I really think so.

You all did a great job!
In my opinion, your group magic might fail once or twice.

But even the students from the last-place school managed to perform it three times in a row.
Now I'm going to say something unpleasant.

Cool down your brain that is excited or depressed because of being ahead or behind.

You must deeply understand what this lead and lag mean.

The leading school only proves that your war magic is temporarily more powerful.

Your warriors have first choice.

Don't be too proud.

Schools that lag behind should not be discouraged.

You must remember that the official start time of the first project is the afternoon of November 11th.

You have one month to catch up with the schools ahead of you.

So, everyone should not let their guard down.

Especially the Warriors."

After Dumbledore finished his speech, the competition ended.

Although the students were from different schools and were returning to different destinations, they all walked in the same direction.

Beauxbatons' carriage was right next to the Forbidden Forest, and they were the first to arrive at their destination.

Then there were the students of Castrobus, whose redwood tree was on the lawn near the castle and Black Lake.

Next came the students from Durmstrang, who walked straight to the big ship by the lake.

Finally, only the Hogwarts students were left, and most of them walked slowly towards the castle.

"What?! We both took first place!
Why did Dumbledore say that?

Saying that the guys who are lagging behind have a month.

We have it too!

This victory proves that our learning efficiency is better than theirs.

So what if a month has passed?
Maybe we are even better than them!

By then, Harry will be able to easily handle it with the help of our magic -

"Hey! Ginny!" Just as Ron was about to say the second half of the sentence, Ginny elbowed Ron in the stomach.

Ginny looked displeased and whispered in a low voice: "There are people all around!

Maybe someone will leak the news.”

"These are all Hogwarts students.

How could the news be leaked to other schools?

Besides, didn't Krum already know about it? " Ron curled his lips with disdain on his face.

Hearing this, Draco quickly choked back, "Of course not.

Judging from the way you and Harry looked at Delacour (Ginny couldn't help but pinch Harry's soft flesh), other students are probably even more unreliable. Someone might have secretly leaked the news to her."

"I don't think it's necessary." A voice suddenly sounded beside them.

"Hey! Neville, when did you--" Ron was startled at first, because he knew Neville had just gone to see Hannah.

But the next second, he became proud, "Look - Neville also supports me!"

"You are?" Draco was not angry at Ron's smug look.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Because he knew that Neville was a very reliable guy.

During this summer vacation, they had contact.

Neville at least seemed more reliable than Ron.

“I saw it.

You all know that I like to find a secluded place to practice swordplay.

On Monday night, at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, I saw the dark-skinned Dumbledore and Madame Maxime, the headmistress of Beauxbatons.

They came out of the Forbidden Forest one after another."

"How can it be?

Hagrid clearly--" Draco looked at Harry.

Draco thought to himself, "Is Hagrid being cheated on?"

Harry nodded heavily. "Hagrid has been blaming himself ever since he accidentally revealed the details of the individual competition to us. But he was much better the last time we met.

Combined with what Neville said, it makes sense.

Although Hagrid was able to prevent Professor Pollach and Madame Maxime from entering.

But Professor Pollachi taught us the magic of our precious tree shepherd.

Madame Maxime is in that kind of relationship with Hagrid.

Plus the news he accidentally revealed to us before.

For the sake of fairness and a little selfishness, he probably condoned their actions."

("I thought--" Draco breathed a sigh of relief)

Harry paused and looked at Neville, "The question now is,
Did they both go in together?
If so, I'm afraid Beauxbatons and Castellobus have joined forces without our knowledge."

“I don’t know,” Neville shook his head, “But the time and place they left the Forbidden Forest were different.

The possibility of acting together is not very high.”

"If it's true, it's too insidious!" Ron was a little indignant.

Draco seemed a little worried, looking towards the cabin at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "I'm worried that Hagrid might be deceived by Maxim.

He seemed to care about that relationship.”

"Not likely." Harry shook his head, "Last time you and Neville weren't here.

We discussed this with Hagrid.

You must be referring to Hagrid's abilities.

Among them is the ability to make magical creatures bow down to him upon seeing him.

Hagrid said that Madame Maxime, who is a half-giant, is also affected by this ability."

"That's good." Draco breathed a sigh of relief.

As for more things, such as whether this could be considered love, he didn't care.

As a Slytherin, he cares more about the results.

Rather than the process.

In his opinion, as long as Hagrid can find a partner worthy of him.

As long as it's not forced.

Hagrid's ability is rooted in his blood.

Just like being handsome, it is inherited from parents.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Then we can spend Halloween in peace!" Ron said with a smile.

He remembered a coveted gift Harry had promised him.

He earned this on his own!
"But we should also thank Neville for that, he was too obvious!" Ron thought.

Then he gave Neville a bright smile.

This made Neville a little confused, that is, what happened to Ron.

But immediately, he understood that this was the result of speaking up for Ron just now.

Ginny on the side was ready to talk about something light-hearted.

So she asked, "Speaking of Halloween, do you know the back story of Dumbledore's joke at the last Halloween dinner?

And why Professor McGonagall rushed to stop it."

"'A troll, a hag and a leprechaun, and they all go into the same pub' this?" said Harry.

Ginny nodded.

Draco on the side immediately laughed strangely.

Cover your mouth and say: "This is immoral."

"What?" Ron asked.

Harry, Ginny and Neville also lifted their ears.

"Didn't you guys notice?
Sitting next to Dumbledore at the time were Hagrid, Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall.

In this pairing, the troll is Hagrid.

The hag is Professor McGonagall.

The leprechaun is Professor Flitwick."
