Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 273, Chapter 271: The Triumph of the Three? No, actually it's the Final Four.

Dali's words once again successfully aroused the hatred of Madame Maxim and Karkarov.

"We must abide by the charter, which clearly stipulates that anyone whose name is uttered from the Goblet of Fire must participate in the Triwizard Tournament," Lucius, a special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic, said, his eyes flickering as if he were deep in thought.

He was in another corner of the room, seemingly deliberately avoiding Karkaroff and trying to avoid contact with him.

Ludo Bagman quickly echoed ingratiatingly, even though logically he was the Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Magic and the main leader of this Triwizard Tournament, he was now voluntarily taking second place.

The Malfoy family is known for its extravagance and wealth, and Ludo Bagman has recently fallen into a huge debt. He's planning to borrow some Galleons from old Malfoy to spend.

"I think we can organize a re-enrollment," Karkaroff spoke again, his face extremely grim. "Only one warrior per school; that's fair."

When the word "fairness" was mentioned, Dali glanced at him.

Indeed, one champion per school is the fairest rule. But Harry wasn't enrolled as a Hogwarts student. Someone enrolled him at another school.

Even if Harry wins the championship, it doesn't mean Hogwarts has won.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this is not a three-way battle, but a four-way battle.

"The Goblet of Fire contains a magical contract that prevents it from being ignited until the next Triwizard Tournament," Bagman continued. "It's an ancient contract, and once chosen, it must be obeyed. Therefore, the list has been finalized, and the process must be completed."

"Demstrang will never participate in the next championship!" Karkaroff thought to himself.

"Beauxbatons will absolutely not participate either," Maxim added.

"Regardless of what happens in the next tournament, we should be discussing this tournament more now." Dumbledore ignored the two headmasters' harsh words. They said this now, but things would be different next time. Whether they would still be headmasters in the next tournament was another matter entirely.

"It looks like we'll have to have Dudley and Harry play together."

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, he added another sentence.

"If the two principals have a better approach, I'm all ears."

What better way could they possibly have? As Bagman said, the Goblet of Fire contains ancient contract magic that cannot be broken once signed and the game is not completed.

The only option now is to bite the bullet and proceed with the competition.

"Although Hogwarts has two champions, neither of them is actually 17 years old."

"That's a lie."

Both Dudley and Harry have physiques far exceeding those of ordinary people. Who would believe that they are both under 17 years old?

Dumbledore looked slightly helpless. He really wasn't lying. Both Harry and Dudley were only 14 years old.

"Please, Mr. Bagman, give these four warriors some guidance."

Bagman didn't stand on ceremony. He walked up to the group and said bluntly, "The first project is to test your courage. Daring to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard."

While Bagman was giving a brief explanation to the warriors participating in the competition, the young wizards in the hall were all in a chaotic mess, chattering incessantly.

"Why did Harry vote behind our backs?" Ron asked his fellow members of the disciplinary group, leaning on the table.

"Anyone could vote, but it definitely won't be Harry."

Draco said seriously, his face looking very unpleasant, his gaze frequently drifting towards the room where Dudley and the others were.

Ron, Harry's best friend, doubted him, while Draco, who often clashed with Harry, firmly believed in him.

Fortunately, Ron only made a few complaints; in reality, he believed that Harry wouldn't leave him alone.

Before long, Dali and the others came out of the small room and sat back down in their original seats.

Dumbledore didn't explain anything to everyone; he simply said a few words and then announced the end of the banquet.

The fact that two warriors appeared at Hogwarts caused quite a stir.

Harry suddenly became the focus of the entire school.

After all, compared to Dudley, his cousin and savior has been far too low-key in recent years.

The Gryffindors naturally supported Harry, but they were more interested in learning from him how to navigate the age line.

The young wizards of Hufflepuff were a little disappointed that Cedric couldn't participate in the competition, but they quickly joined in supporting Dudley and Harry.

Ravenclaw, on the other hand, preferred Dudley, since he was often seen in the library;

It doesn't matter whether Mr. Potter or Mr. Dursley wins the match for Slytherin.

Before the Triwizard Tournament ends, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students will remain at Hogwarts to attend classes with the young wizards from the four houses, and, well, in the same year as them.

Apart from one younger student at Beauxbatons, the other students were at the equivalent of a sixth-year student at Hogwarts.

Although the three schools teach slightly different things, you can still learn something. Hogwarts' teaching level is slightly higher than the other two schools.

Especially in Potions class, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students couldn't keep up with Hogwarts' pace at all. Although they were sixth-year students, Hogwarts was already teaching seventh-year material.

What kind of monsters are at Hogwarts?

Looking at the potion-making equipment of the young wizards at Hogwarts, each with a graduated measuring cup, exquisitely crafted test tubes, and incredibly precise scales, and then at their own rudimentary potion-making tools that resembled those of primitive people, a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

They were especially shocked when they witnessed Hogwarts' advanced potion concepts, which far surpassed those of their own school.

Fortunately, they were only studying in the sixth grade. If they had gone to the fourth grade to audit classes, it wouldn't have been a matter of feeling inferior. The learning progress in the fourth grade was already at the same level as the sixth grade, or even a little bit faster.

A tiny difference here and a tiny difference there, when added together, becomes much more than just a tiny difference; that's how the gap widens.

In just one week of learning and exchange, the young wizards from both schools clearly realized the gap between themselves and Hogwarts.

It's a real roll.

It's on a completely different level from the joyful teaching style of my own school.

In particular, they had heard that in addition to the four houses, Hogwarts also had a legendary disciplinary group that single-handedly overpowered the four houses and was in charge of the students from the first to the sixth year. The Hogwarts hero Dursley was the head of this disciplinary group.

Many young wizards are already worried that their school's warriors will be defeated by Hogwarts' warriors.

Whether in a physical or magical sense.

The order of 268 and 269 is messed up. I contacted the editor, but I can only wait for them to come back to work on Monday to fix it.
