Chapter 263 The guests are coming

In the Response Room, Ryan looked at the crown in his hand and thought for a while. Although the above functions are a bit tasteless to Ryan, this thing is still a precious cultural relic, so he needs to weigh how to deal with it.

If you turn it in, you can naturally get a lot of honors, but for Ryan, who plans to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Honor is not very necessary for the time being. So Ryan decided to keep this thing in his hands first, and then take it out when he needs it.

After harvesting the 6 offset points generated by destroying the Horcrux, Ryan left the Response Room with a smile on his face.

Although the Triwizard Tournament is approaching, everyone still needs to attend classes as usual. Even because of the upcoming arrival of representatives from other schools in the Triwizard Tournament, each teacher hopes that students can learn more things in a short period of time to avoid losing face in front of the teachers and students of the other two schools.

Even Professor McGonagall, who is not usually harsh, yelled at the students below when the get out of class was about to end. Longbottom, please do it, don't show yourself in front of Durmstrang's people, let them see that you don't even have a simple conversion spell!

Of all the classes, Ryan liked Moody's class the most, because he didn't seem disturbed by the upcoming Triwizard Tournament. After all, he was only here for the first-year class, not the resident professor of the school. Besides, Moody has struggled from the death line countless times, and the threat of death cannot affect his mentality, nor can the game. So in these classes, Moody has always arranged tasks according to his own syllabus:

During these few classes, he turned all the desks and chairs into various obstacles, and then placed a large number of puppets in the classroom to imitate the attacking dark wizards for the students to practice in it. The puppets will only cast a marking magic: a white letter T is projected on the head of the person being hit.

In the first combat class, Moody gave everyone a slap in the face: he turned the difficulty of the puppet formation to the highest level. As a result, at the end of the class, most of the classmates walked out of the classroom with a capital letter T on their foreheads. Only Ryan successfully passed the exam with enough practical experience and won the Moody Grant for Grant. Fendo added twenty points.

Ryan, please stay after class. Just as Ryan was packing up and preparing to retreat, Moody stopped Ryan. There was no way Ryan had to say hello to Hermione and followed Moody into his office.

This is also the first time Ryan has entered the office of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. When Professor Moody opened the door, Ryan found a lot of strange things there. Ryan felt that these should be the pride of Moody. Something that Luo Shi used.

While Ryan was looking at these things, Moody came in. You seem to be interested in this stuff of mine.

Yes. Ryan nodded, then pointed to something like a glass top on the table. I've seen this thing from Harry, it should be a looking glass.

Yes, in addition to this, I also have a spy device and a demon mirror. I have all the equipment an Auror should have here. Moody proudly introduced Ryan to a series of equipment in the room, and suddenly he turned to Ryan and asked: Are you Ryan Liang, a fourth year student at Hogwarts Gryffindor House?

Ryan was startled, and then replied, I'm Ryan Liang, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts Gryffindor House. At this time, Moody glanced at the instruments on the table, and the instruments did not move at all.

Oh, sorry, I'm allergic. Moody took a jug from his waist and unscrewed it and took a sip. Ryan's strengthened nose could easily smell the pumpkin juice inside.

Today, I saw your performance in class far surpassed others. I thought you were a dark wizard who disguised and assassinated me.

Ryan now knew how suspicious Moody was. But in addition to being suspicious, Moody is also a very charismatic person when he is normal, otherwise he would not be admired by so many people. In the next half hour, Moody told Ryan a lot of his actual combat experience when he was an Auror. In the end, he even told Ryan that his actual combat level was at least the level of those new Aurors after half a year of actual combat, hoping that Ryan could consider becoming an Auror after graduation.

Ryan just smiled politely. It was obvious that Moody thought he was extremely talented in combat, so he hoped that he would apply for the Auror in the future. The actual situation is that Ryan's ability is cultivated in a lot of actual combat, and the real fighting talent is not much stronger than others.

After going out, Ryan felt that the Moody in front of him was more real, but this was not good news, because it meant that the plot that Ryan knew had changed, and the future began to become chaotic.

The time soon came to mid-October. Following the week's first Conservation of Fantastic Creatures class, everyone got news of the arrival of representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang next Friday from the revelation column in the foyer.

Under such circumstances, the school has entered an unprecedented state of cleanliness this week, not to mention the dust and cobwebs in the corners, and even the busiest common room house-elves are tidying up several times a day. Not only that, the armor and portraits in the castle have been fully maintained. After talking with some oil paintings, Ryan learned that the last such comprehensive maintenance had been more than a century ago.

On the morning of October 30, everyone went down to breakfast to find the auditorium renovated overnight. Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, and a yellow background. Hufflepuff with a black badger and Slytherin with a silver python on a green background. Behind the teacher's desk hangs the largest banner with the coat of arms of Hogwarts: lion, eagle, badger and snake linked together around a large letter H.

Lane swears it's the most gorgeously decorated Hogwarts castle he's seen since he started school. Even when he was sitting at the long table, he could vaguely feel the smell of an alchemy product from the banners far away.

So when he left the auditorium, he approached the banners, and found that the banners were indeed alchemical products: each banner was cured to clean and prevent wear and tear, and each banner was no less than three hundred years old. .

As expected of the most powerful magic school in Europe, just one thing can reflect the absolute profound heritage. It is estimated that it only takes seven or eight silver coins to buy a new banner for that kind of banner, but after alchemy processing The cost is more than 20 gold Galleons. The only effect of these alchemy product banners is to save face for the school. Ryan now has a deeper understanding of the background of Hogwarts.

In addition, professors have begun to order prefects and student council presidents to keep an eye on people who are usually accident-prone or mischievous, lest they bring shame to the school at the welcome ceremony. For example, the Weasley twins are the key targets. Even Ryan saw Professor McGonagall in the corridor and told the bloody Barrow to watch Peeves, and he must not be allowed to make trouble today.

In this mixed atmosphere of tension and anticipation, it was finally time for the arrival of the guests.
