Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 309, Section 307: A Special Seminar on Magical Exchange and Sharing

After a brief silence, the eruption of cheers nearly shook the entire arena. Even the mermaids at the bottom of the Black Lake seemed startled and scurried into the stone snails.

"What kind of spell did Dursley use? It was so powerful that he won the game in such a short time."

"I thought it was the effect of some kind of magic potion, but it turns out it's a curse? Does anyone know what it is?"

"I didn't realize it; it must be a very powerful curse."

"That's the magic of the legendary Dragon Man, so it's bound to be extraordinary."

The audience was also speculating about how Dudley won the match, and there were many different opinions.

"But I felt like he was really swimming."

"See, this is why your grades are bad. Let me tell you."

"."

Occasionally, those who sensed the truth were criticized by their companions, making them feel insecure.

On the referee's stand, Dumbledore had a cheerful expression on his face, which he had maintained throughout the day.

Ms. Maxim sighed, knowing that her school's warriors had no hope; the gap between the two sides was enormous.

Bagman smiled even more broadly, because Dudley won with a perfect score, so he could beat many, many betting sites. Although he would lose some money from those who bet on Dudley to win, the odds were so low that he wouldn't have to pay out much, so overall he would definitely make a profit, and not just a small one.

Lucius, meanwhile, glanced at Karkaroff almost imperceptibly.

This Karkaroff actually gave someone else a perfect score. Based on Lucius's understanding of Karkaroff, something must have happened between the two of them that he didn't know about.

Lucius looked at Dudley in the arena, then glanced at Karkaroff, who looked slightly frightened, and nodded thoughtfully.

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 24th. Minister of Magic Fudge will also be present."

Bagman continued his announcement with a beaming smile, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was overjoyed at the success of the Triwizard Tournament.

"The warriors from the three schools will learn the details of the project a month in advance. Thank you all for your continued support of the warriors."

The current scores of the four warriors are as follows: Dudley, with a total score of 96 and an average of 48 points, overwhelmingly surpasses the other contestants. Following closely behind is Harry, with a total score of 47 and an average of 23.5 points, ranking second. Next is Viktor, with a total score of 41 and an average of 20.5 points, ranking third. Finally, Fleur has a total score of 20 and an average of 10 points, ranking last.

Based on the current standings, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dali is highly likely to win.

Bagman, who had made a small fortune, was seriously considering whether to start betting on the third match. This was much riskier than the first two. Unless Dali could score an unexpected point like in the second match, or even lose the match in a major upset, it would be difficult for him to make such a huge profit as he had now.

The next day, the Poison and Antidote Daily reported on the latest episode of the Triwizard Tournament, and unsurprisingly, it sold out quickly. As early March approached, the Poison and Antidote Daily received an invitation for a collaboration project from the most influential international magazine in the wizarding world—International Wizarding Weekly.

Biographical accounts of the contestants in the Triwizard Tournament.

Let's take a look at the reputation of the contestants in this top three competition.

Dursley, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class in history

The legendary "Boy Who Lived"—Harry Potter.

Viktor, the rising star of the Bulgarian Quidditch national team.

And other wizards—Hibiscus.

With the release of the International Wizarding Weekly, Dudley's identity as the inventor (improver) of the "Restore Human Form Charm" was also revealed and made public, unsurprisingly making him famous once again. He has now been named by the International Wizarding Weekly as the most influential and promising underage wizard of the year.

Defense Against the Dark Arts

What are you doing here?

Moody, who was teaching, saw the guy suddenly barge into the classroom. His face darkened instantly, and his expression became slightly manic, his tone filled with undisguised threat. He shouted at the guy, "Get out! This is not a place for you."

"Moody, I don't think you should talk to me like that."

The visitor said with great displeasure, then looked at Moody for a while before revealing a row of his signature yellow teeth: "No matter what, I am the headmaster of Durmstrang, on par with Professor Dumbledore, while you are just a professor at Hogwarts."

It's hard to imagine that Karkaroff, who used to feel extremely uncomfortable whenever he saw Moody, could now speak to Moody in such a confrontational tone.

Ever since Karkaroff was captured and handed over to Wizengamo by Moody, an Auror, more than a decade ago, Karkaroff has been terrified every time he sees him.

Hearing this, Moody frowned. He also felt that Karkaroff's attitude today was strange, as if he was fearless.

"Just say what you have to say."

Moody said impatiently, turning his magic eye to stare intently at Karkaroff.

A hint of unease flashed across Karkaroff's face as he was stared at by the Magic Eye, but he still said, "Professor Dumbledore and I discussed this last night and decided to hold a magical exchange and sharing seminar."

"I believe it's necessary to let the students of Hogwarts experience knowledge from Durmstrang."

"So I'll need to take up your next few Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Of course, in return, you can also help teach our Durmstrang students."

"This is a plan that Professor Dumbledore and I developed together."

As Karkaroff spoke, he pulled out a parchment scroll that he and Dumbledore had both signed and slammed onto the lectern.

"A magical exchange and sharing seminar?"

Moody glanced at the document, muttered to himself, "This is the first time I've ever heard of a seminar." Then, he glared at Karkaroff with a sharp look and said in an extremely stern tone, "I don't care what your purpose is, I'll be watching you closely. If you dare to make any moves and I catch you..."

"Then you can try sending me to Azkaban."

Karkarov added, his face grim.

"I will! You think I wouldn't dare?!"

Moody raised his voice and glared fiercely at Karkaroff.

"Of course you dare," Karkaroff said dismissively, curling his lip. "Just like back then."

Moody gave Karkaroff a deep look.

Karkarov glared back defiantly.

Once "that person" fully returns, Azkaban will become meaningless.

You scum who dare to challenge "that person"

They must all die!

My cat still won't eat. I've tried everything: cat food, canned food, treats, nutritional paste, catnip balls... Sigh...
