A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 599 Brother, wanna buy a Warriors spot? It's super cheap!

Dumbledore always had his own plans.

What he called a surprise was, in other people's eyes, a shock.

In recent years, his "fright" has become increasingly more horrifying.

So what if it's scary? William will cover for us anyway.

After the Ravenclaw Bronze Ring incident, Dumbledore adjusted his core ideas and formulated a completely new plan.

Therefore, this Warriors roster is highly debatable.

William couldn't possibly allow all his students to participate. Otherwise, the Triwizard Tournament might continue until he graduated, and it might not even end.

Think about it, normally the Triwizard Tournament is held every five years... This year's tournament has been going on for five years, and the champion has just been decided, and the next one has already begun...

That would truly be a thrilling three-way battle of "infinite nesting dolls".

Moreover, this list of heroes does not include Harry, whom Dumbledore has been trying to "test" all along.

The reason is simple: Peter found Voldemort and tortured Bertha, so he most likely knows about the Triwizard Tournament.

Voldemort didn't cause any trouble at the Quidditch World Cup, but the Triwizard Tournament is likely to be anything but. And the goal will most likely be resurrection.

Given Dumbledore's past behavior, he would definitely have gone all out to kill Harry... cough cough, to test him.

It would be best to go in and out of him seven times, leaving him with a bunch of bloody holes.

But the fact that Little Tom was resurrected made it clear to him that even a time loop could backfire.

Well then, it's better to stay put than to do anything. Let's just not test Harry for now and let him play in the mud by himself.

As long as he doesn't become a warrior, the championship is largely safe.

Besides, Harry is just an egg, placed in a separate basket. And the eggs in the other basket need to be hatched too.

The principal hoped that William could practice the trumpet and train more future helpers.

In that case, even if the Harry Potter name is ruined, there's nothing to worry about.

Therefore, considering all factors, Harry is not among the heroes.

Since Harry isn't participating and William decides the spots himself, Hermione will definitely be the first one chosen.

He himself didn't want to participate, and there was absolutely no need for him to participate, but he could let Hermione participate.

Help her win the championship and hone her skills. William wants to kill Little Tom and take down Arya; he'll need Hermione's help from now on.

Besides these, William has other Warriors options. How about Ravenclaw gets a spot?

My good friend Qiu... it's just in time for a chat.

There are also twins.

Similarly, other schools should also increase the number of participants.

Otherwise, if people see that Hogwarts has so many warriors and we only have one, who would want to play with us next time!

A steady, gradual approach is necessary. William aspires to be the school principal in the future, so we can't afford to ruin the school's reputation first.

But these spots can't be given away for free, so you have to... buy them with money.

Hey bro, wanna buy a Warriors roster spot? It's super cheap!

Akali's Mystery Shop: Prices are clearly marked, and there's no deception!

William was in the scalping business, making money by buying and selling tickets!

The next morning, William and Hermione woke up a little late and found the Great Hall already full of students when they arrived.

Everyone's eyes are on the Goblet of Fire.

The cup was placed in the center of the hallway, on the stool where the Sorting Hat was usually kept. A thin gold line, ten feet on each side, was drawn on the floor, encircling the cup.

Upon seeing William arrive, Cho and Cedric quickly approached.

"Did you put your name in?" William asked, sitting in his chair.

"Not yet." Cedric shook his head.

He finally completed his meditation of silence and spat out the mandrake.

This completes the second step of the Animagus process.

Next, the mandrake must be placed in a small crystal bottle, which should be placed in a location where it can be exposed to pure moonlight.

It also requires adding its own hair, dew from places that have not been exposed to sunlight or trampled on for seven days, and the pupa of the skull hawk moth.

Once all this is done, Cedric will be able to transform into an Animagus when the storm arrives.

"All of Durmstrang's students have been admitted," Qiu asked, flicking her ponytail.

"William, have you figured out a way to crack the age line?"

"I've got it," William said in a low voice. "Choi, do you want to replace Ravenclaw as the champion?"

Qiu was slightly taken aback, staring into William's eyes.

She realized that William wasn't joking, but genuinely asking her if she wanted to be a warrior.

Hermione, standing to the side, also appeared calm, as if she already knew.

Warriors...who wouldn't want to be one!

But Qiu glanced at Cedric, hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head regretfully:

"Forget it, Hogwarts only has one spot. I believe you can make me a champion, but if I take the spot, then Seid probably won't be able to be a champion."

"Qiu...you're so good to me!"

Cedric's sycophantic tendencies flared up again; it was already in its late stages. He said in a trembling voice:

"I will carry your expectations and keep running until I win the championship."

William felt unwell; goosebumps rose all over his body. He rubbed his arms and said:

"Alright, stop being so annoying. Who told you there was only one spot?"

"What do you mean?" Both of them were surprised.

Just then, a commotion arose in the distance.

William looked back and saw Fred and George hurrying down the stairs.

Ron was trying to slip away in the crowd when Fred grabbed him by the collar.

George handed Ron a blue bottle. "Drink it quickly."

"What is this?" Ron shrank back.

"Your potion, the aging agent, you idiot," Fred said.

Ron looked distressed and reached out to take it.

"You have to drink the whole bottle." George rubbed his hands together excitedly. "You'll have to be four years older to be an adult."

"That's right." Fred put his arm around Ron's shoulder. "If it works, I'll forgive half of your debt, and you'll only need to be a drug user for six months."

"What if we fail?" Ron picked up the cup, sniffed it, and made a disgusted face.

"Failed... at worst, I'll just get expelled from school," George said with a smile.

"..."

"Alright, hurry up and drink it, don't hesitate," Fred urged.

Tempted by the twins, Ron drank the potion.

"Are you ready?" Fred asked, trembling with excitement. "Come on—let's go in."

With a gentle push, he brought Ron to the edge of the age limit.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the foyer, Ron took a deep breath and crossed that age line.

For a moment, everyone thought Ron had succeeded, and he thought so too, excitedly waving his fist.

However, a hissing sound rang out, and Ron was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

He lay painfully on the cold stone ground, and with another explosion, a large amount of long white beard sprouted from his chin, his hair turned gray, and his forehead suddenly became bald.

The people in the hall burst into laughter. Fred and George helped Ron up, and they couldn't help but laugh too.

"I warned you," a deep, amused voice said.

Professor Dumbledore walked out of the Great Hall, his eyes gleaming as he looked Ron over.

"I suggest you go to Mrs. Pomfrey's place; she's already taking care of Miss Fawcett of Ravenclaw and Mr. Summers of Hufflepuff."

They were determined to increase their age a bit.

However, I must say, your beard is far less attractive than theirs.

Ron was taken to the school hospital by Harry, while the twins surrounded William.

"It failed." Fred said dejectedly. "I didn't expect the aging agent wouldn't work."

"It's up to you now, William," George said, patting him on the shoulder.

William leaned back in his chair, took a sip of goji berry tea, and said, "Spread the word to the other two schools that we're selling Warriors spots."

"What?" The group stared at William in shock, seemingly not understanding what he was saying.

"Two thousand Galleons per spot," William said, holding up his finger.

"But... the prize money for winning the championship is only one thousand Galleons."

Qiu clicked her tongue slightly, almost calling William a shrewd businessman.

William pressed his hand on the table and smiled, "Autumn, can the number of warriors be measured in Galleons?"

This is an honor.

It is a qualification to bring honor to the school.

This is an opportunity that everyone is eagerly anticipating!

Two thousand Galleons is a steal!

William tapped the table.

"Remember, we should still use the method of getting customers through acquaintances and referrals, and we must not let the teachers and principals find out."

Just like our previous answer key service!

Everyone nodded.

"Autumn, Cedric, you two go and make contact with the Slytherin students."

George, Fred, you two go and make contact with Durmstrang's students.

"I'll arrange for Anne and Gabrielle to contact Beauxbatons' students."

"Go ahead," he said, waving his hand dismissively. "Spots are limited, first come, first served!"

Everyone ran away in a flash.

William finished the goji berry tea with satisfaction.

Hermione, sitting next to her, suddenly squinted and asked, "'Like our old answer key business'?"

William, don't tell me... the answer key that's been circulating in the school, you guys sold it?

"..."

Oops, I got carried away... I let it slip.
