Chapter 262 The First Day of School

When Dumbledore said that the champion would receive one thousand Galleons, the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more enthusiastic.

George and Fred immediately stood up, waving their arms vigorously with shining eyes, and shouted:

"We want to compete! We want to win the championship!"

Dumbledore just glanced at the Weasley twins who kept shouting loudly, then smiled and said:

"I know you are all eager to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and hold the trophy that represents victory for Hogwarts."

"But unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic and the participating schools have concerns about safety."

"We have decided to set an appropriate age for the selected heroes!"

"Therefore, only students who are seventeen years old or above are allowed to register."

Hearing the selection rules announced by Dumbledore, the Weasley twins were suddenly struck by lightning, but they still shouted without giving up:

"This is unfair. We are just a little bit short. We should relax the conditions!"

Dumbledore ignored the requests of these two clowns and said with a serious expression:

"I know you guys want to compete, but this competition is very dangerous."

"Whether it's our school or the Ministry of Magic!"

"No one thinks wizards under the age of seventeen can handle these dangerous tests."

Having said that, he paused and glanced at Wright who was yawning.

Then, Dumbledore kept a guarded gaze and continued:

"The delegations from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School will spend this school year with us at Hogwarts."

"So, I hope that you will be warm and friendly enough to welcome our guests when they arrive."

After Dumbledore finished his speech, he did not leave time for the students to ask questions and directly announced the end of the banquet.

Led by their class leaders, the students returned to their respective lounges one after another.

Along the way, everyone was discussing the 'Triwizard Tournament', even though many of them were not qualified to participate.

When they returned to the common room, Wright stopped Hermione who was about to return to the dormitory and said to her sincerely:

"Hermione, if you are too hungry to sleep at night, you can snap your fingers and call Dobby, and he will make you fried rice!"

"I do not want it!"

"I won't eat something that is made by squeezing someone else's blood and sweat."

After saying that, Hermione angrily pushed away Wright who was blocking her way and walked straight towards the dormitory.

"My little friend, you probably don't know what the 'law of true fragrance' is!"

Looking at Hermione's back as she walked away, Wright shook his head and turned around, preparing to go back to the dormitory to take a shower and go to bed.

George and Fred's voices suddenly spread throughout the lounge. They stood on the table and shouted:

"This is unfair. Why can't students under the age of 17 be allowed to participate? They are targeting us."

"This is oppression and discrimination. We must fight against oppression and discrimination!"

"We are going to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and we want to win the championship."

……

Although the Weasley twins shouted very loudly, few people responded to them.

It was more of a dry howl to liven up the atmosphere, but it was of no real help at all.

Wright shook his head again, not intending to participate, and went straight back to the dormitory.

As soon as I opened the dormitory door, I heard a burst of extremely heated discussions.

After entering the room, Wright realized that it was Harry, Ron and Seamus who were discussing the 'Triwizard Tournament'.

When Neville saw Wright coming in, he quietly sneaked over and asked in a low voice:

"Wright, do you know of any way to get around the age limit?"

"What makes you think I can do that? Those are the conditions set by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic."

Light looked at Neville in surprise and did not directly answer his question.

"I feel like you can do it!"

Looking at Neville with a sincere face, Wright said with a smile:

"I have a way to break through, but I don't want to get involved. These things are a bit too boring."

"If you want to participate, I can help you break the age limit, but the rest..."

Before Wright could finish his words, Neville waved his hands and refused in panic.

After teasing Neville, Wright did not join Harry and the others' discussion about the Triwizard Tournament.

After washing up early, go to bed and have a rest!

The next morning, Wright, who had gone to bed early, stretched lazily in bed.

Even after a night of heavy rain, the sky outside the castle was still covered with dark clouds, looking gloomy and depressing!

After a simple wash and breakfast, it was time for the first day of classes in the new school year.

But for Wright now, these courses can't provide much help.

Together with Harry, Hermione and Ron, they went to Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.

In this class, Hagrid gave the students a big 'surprise'.

After finishing his morning classes, Ron was walking towards the castle, complaining with a dark face:

"I don't even know where Hagrid got those blasting-end skrewts. They're so slimy and smelly!"

Harry and Hermione also looked unhappy. They wanted to vomit when they thought of those deformed, shelled creatures that emitted a strong fishy smell.

As Wright walked, he thought about what Hagrid had just said and couldn't help but say:

"It's not bad! I think that thing is quite valuable."

"If that thing grows up, it can explode its shell to hurt people, bite people, and its tail can sting people. It's a very good combat weapon."

Harry, Hermione and Ron all looked at Wright with horror on their faces, as if they had just met him for the first day.

"Hahahaha, just kidding, just kidding, let's go!"

"Class is about to start, let's go!"

Faced with their horrified expressions, Wright just laughed it off and rushed forward.

Seeing Wright running so fast, the three of them started running too.

When they arrived at the Divination classroom, Trelawney had been waiting for a long time.

She looked at Harry who had hurried over and said in a sad tone, "You are worried, my child."

"I can see that your road ahead is full of hardships. What you fear will come sooner than you think."

Harry resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pulled Light and Ron to find a place to sit down.

After the class started, Trelawney hinted that something ominous would happen to them again this year.

He also used the trajectory of the planets to predict Harry's date of birth and asserted that it would definitely be in winter.

Then, ignoring Harry and Ron's dissatisfied expressions, she began to talk about her research on astrological charts.

Finally, Trelawney assigned a class assignment and gave the students a complex chart.

They were asked to calculate the positions of the major planets at the time of their birth based on the calculation formulas in the book.

Wright quickly calculated the time and angle based on the measurement formula in the textbook.

Accurately plot your own horoscope on the chart and estimate your birth time as well.
