This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 495 Triwizard Tournament

"What's going on? Although Dumbledore was the one who arranged the recruitment, and I had no involvement, why is Mad-Eye like this?"

Andrew was still thinking about how to point out that Moody was abnormal, but now the situation is like this, anyone can tell that Moody was abnormal!
Even the worst imitator wouldn't do it like this, right?

Who is so bold as to fake it? The saying "destroy and then rebuild" is just a joke. It is a joke to expect to imitate someone by using the excuse of not being similar to anything.

"What happened? Why are you so upset?"

This shouldn't be the case - Mad-Eye is a retired man, single, with no children and no wife. What could have happened to him?

"It's not Crouch's side, I remember he was a staunch supporter of Crouch. Yes, that's right, after he arrested Karkaroff, he even agreed to release Karkaroff because of Crouch's tainted witness plan."

Andrew knew a lot about this because of Sirius's exoneration - Mr. Crouch's original image was that of a ruthless director who allowed the Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curses and Killing Permit and managed to hold on to the war situation.

Later, he maintained it pretty well, even sending his own son to prison, which confirmed his iron-blooded image, until the incident that happened not long ago was exposed...

"The destruction of the idol's halo? There is some truth in this, but it may also be fake. We need to keep a close eye on it. The fake is very skilled and may dare to go so far."

He was not familiar with the Mad-Eye man, so he could only start eating with confusion.

But no one in the entire hall was in a good mood for the meal - after taking a few bites, they looked at Dumbledore expectantly, and found that the headmaster was eating very happily and had no intention of speaking at all.

Even Andrew's roommates were like this, as if the food was not as delicious as before.

The atmosphere in the whole school was somewhat anxious, but fortunately, after the dessert was served, Dumbledore stood up.

"Well, I think we are all full and satisfied," Dumbledore looked at the students with a smile, "Then I must ask everyone to pay attention to a few things."

Everyone looked at Dumbledore, but the headmaster only made a disappointing announcement - items were banned this school year.

This is what should be expected, but the list is... scary long.

Eleven new potions, seventeen alchemical products, not counting the odd Muggle item...

'Mr. Filch is killing like crazy, and the research and development of the wizarding world has also begun. I have never heard of many of these things. It seems that while I am busy studying, others are also working hard...'

"Also, I regretfully have to inform you that this year's Quidditch competition will be suspended."

Dumbledore looked around at the students as he spoke, as if waiting for someone to jump out and object, but no, Karkaroff revealed the question too early.

"Well, it's too early to announce the surprise. The Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts starting in October. Teachers and students from Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Kodostorize will come to Hogwarts to participate in the warrior selection ceremony."

Looking around, Dumbledore found that the students did not interrupt his conversation and shook his head regretfully, and continued, "The ceremony of selecting the warriors will be held on Halloween. According to the regulations, adult wizards and the top students in each grade will have the legal right to participate in the election."

"First place?"

Fred's voice came, his voice full of confusion, as if he had been betrayed by someone.

"At the same time, the students who made the most progress in their studies last school year have gained the right to legally challenge the limits they set," Dumbledore responded with a smile. "This number is much more than enough. The top five students in each grade who made the most progress can do so."

Fred suddenly recovered to full health, which surprised Andrew.

No, man, you hit Dumbledore!

Have you ever thought about this question?
"in addition…"

Dumbledore began to recite the supplementary rules that Andrew had read - because there were too many links and too many supplements, the students below were unable to react for a while.

"That's it... Even students who are not elected as warriors can still win honor for the school," Dumbledore seemed to be in an unusually good mood, "So, I hope that even if you don't become a warrior of the school, you can still keep your mind and study hard." "Well, it's getting late, you should go to rest," Dumbledore nodded, "Go!"

He sat down and began to talk to Moody in a low voice, as if trying his best to persuade the other party.

The students below were in an uproar.

No, we read so much material during the holidays - and now we have to take exams at the championship?
Those complicated rules and regulations didn't contain much information about the Triwizard Tournament; it was all exams, exams, and more exams!

But the door of the auditorium had already been opened, and there was not much time left for them to discuss it slowly. Everyone could only discuss this outrageous rule as they went back.

Andrew was sandwiched between his roommates, listening to their discussion.

"Hughes, was it like this before?"

"No, we used to compete directly."

Hughes answered Hal very firmly, "This year's changes are particularly big, but the original things are retained. Dumbledore talked about the content of the individual competition."

"Anyway, this is too outrageous," Hal sighed, "By the way, Andrew, are you also..."

He was halfway through his speech when his expression turned confused.

"Who was No. 1 last school year?"

"Miss Granger."

Andrew nodded very affirmatively.

"How old are you?"

"Like all of you, not even seventeen yet."

Andrew nodded again.

"Then..." Hal's eyes widened, "Are you going to challenge Dumbledore's rules head-on?"

"Is there a possibility," Andrew looked at Hal, "that I am not qualified to participate?"

"You must be kidding me! What kind of a tri-wizard tournament is that? If you're not the warrior, who else can be it?"

Hal complained very dissatisfiedly.

Because the voice was so loud, many people looked over there - Who is this, so brazen, and a Warrior?
Who among you here doesn’t have the qualities of a warrior?
Which college's guy is so arrogant?

Then, when their eyes turned to this side, the opinions immediately dissipated - in fact, it was not without reason.

But the meaning of the previous conversation was soon understood.

"No, Taylor, you really don't qualify?"

"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to challenge Dumbledore's restrictions?"

...

"Really not, and I don't intend to challenge the rules illegally," Andrew shook his head seriously, "So, everyone, it's up to you to win glory for the school. I'm not even sure if I can participate in the exam points competition."

A bunch of regretful voices were heard, but underneath, the ambition to become a warrior began to spread among the students - before there was Taylor holding them back, but now, there is no one to stop them!
