Chapter 506 Rita Skeeter
What happened in the auditorium at noon quickly spread throughout the castle.
Every Gryffindor student was excited, thinking that there was finally someone in the castle who could scare Snape.
Because even Professor McGonagall couldn't make Snape take the initiative to deduct points from his own school, and he didn't even have a word of rebuttal.
For a time, Professor Alastor Moody's reputation in Gryffindor became unprecedentedly high, and the deeds of the Weasley brothers were compiled into several versions and spread by word of mouth among the students.
It can be said that the reason why this incident spread throughout the school in less than half a day was largely due to Gryffindor.
But the price was that their college points began to drop rapidly. The scoring hourglass in the auditorium seemed to have a hole, and it dropped by more than half in just a few days.
It wasn't until Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to warn some people that the matter came to an end for the time being.
A weekend in mid-November was the second Hogsmeade Week of this school year. Students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were also invited to visit this famous wizarding village.
Shop owners seem to have received the news in advance and have added many foreign elements to their stores.
For example, Honeydukes Candy Shop has a row of dancing frosted macarons and a bucket of flame syrup apples at the most conspicuous entrance.
The Fengya wizard clothing store also has French-style long skirts and exquisite fur cloaks.
There were also three broomsticks. Through the window, Kyle saw Ms. Maxim sitting with Hagrid, drinking a blue wine that he had never seen before from a cup as big as a keg.
Just the two of them occupied the largest table in the store.
"Kyle, I think you need to be more prepared for this."
After arriving at Zuko's Joke Shop, Fred handed Kyle a whole box of dung eggs without any explanation.
"That's right." George said, "Although we don't know the competition yet, whether it's a duel or dealing with other creatures, big dung eggs are the most effective props."
"Just a small one..." Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "It's enough to knock down a dozen people, and the smaller the space, the greater its effect."
"Of course, the premise is that you must prepare in advance and use a head soaking spell on yourself." George reminded.
"Forget it." Kyle put the box in his hand back on the shelf. "It's already stated in the rules. The only thing we can use is the wand in our hands. This thing can't be brought in at all."
"Huh?" Fred frowned and said angrily. "It's so unreasonable..."
But Kyle thinks it makes sense.
Although if you really want to use it, there is no way to do it, such as the flying curse... But Kyle feels that it is better not to use a big killer like the dung egg easily, otherwise he may become the most flavorful warrior in history. .
This is not a good name.
After returning to the castle in the evening, Fred and George were still complaining about the harsh rules set by the principals. They insisted that games without props would make it less fun.
The next day, after breakfast, Kyle went to the Charms classroom on the third floor as usual.
"Before class today, let's review the Flying Curse first." Professor Flitwick said: "Although this curse is very simple, it often appears in OWL exams, and in daily life, this curse is also used necessary."
His eyes paused on Kyle for a moment, and then quickly moved away.
"If you need something but don't have time to get it, the Flying Curse can solve the problem very well..."
In the next 10 minutes, everyone began to practice the flying spell according to Professor Flitwick's requirements.
Until there was a knock on the classroom door.
It was Ginny, slinking into the classroom.
<divclass="contentadv">"What's wrong? Miss Weasley." Professor Flitwick asked.
"I'm sorry, Professor, Mr. Bagman asked me to take Kyle downstairs." Ginny said, "All warriors must go."
"Of course, no problem." Professor Flitwick looked at Kyle with a smile, "Go on, there won't be any new content in this class."
Kyle nodded, handed the textbook to Kangna aside, stood up and walked towards the door, everyone was looking at him along the way.
"It's amazing, Kyle, you have become a Hogwarts warrior." After closing the door, Ginny couldn't wait to say: "Mom was so happy when she found out. She also said she would definitely come to watch the game, and Bill and Charlie also said they would take time off to come over.”
"The first project?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
"Mom will definitely come to all three events," Ginny said. "But I don't know about Bill and Charlie. They are too far away. I think they will have to wait until the last one before coming."
"Oh, here we are, good luck to you." Ginny said as they arrived outside a room.
Kyle knocked on the door and walked in.
This is a relatively small classroom. The tables have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving an open space in the middle. There are three tables side by side in the front, covered with a long piece of velvet.
Ludo Bagman was sitting nearby, talking to a witch wearing a magenta robe.
Krum and Fleur had already arrived and were standing nearby.
"Ah, the last warrior." Bagman stood up, "Come in, there is nothing to worry about, just the ritual of testing the wand, and then taking a few photos. This is Rita Skeeter...she is working on " Write a short article about the Contest in the Daily Prophet."
This was the first time Kyle met the famous Rita Skeeter...or infamous would be more appropriate.
After all, many people hate her with gnashing of teeth, including Chris, who was slandered by her articles.
"Ludo, before we start, can I have a few words with Kyle," Rita Skeeter said. "He's the youngest warrior, you know... just to add a little color to the article."
"I'm sorry, Miss Rita Skeeter." Before Bagman spoke, Kyle said first: "I think it's better to check the wand first. After all, I have to go to class soon."
"Ah, that's right..." Bagman said loudly, "Before the competition begins, every lesson is extremely important."
Rita Skeeter looked a little ugly and stared straight at Kyle.
But Kyle just pretended not to see it.
"It's a good thing you didn't accept the invitation." Fleur whispered: "Ms. Maxim asked me to be careful about this person."
"She's right," Kyle said.
Soon, Professor Dumbledore opened the door and walked in, followed by three other members of the referee team, Maxim, Karkaroff, and Chris.
The last person walking was Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop in Diagon Alley.
"It seems that everyone is here."
Dumbledore came and sat down behind the velvet-covered table.
"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander, who will be checking your wands this time to make sure they are in good condition before the competition."
