Chapter 297 It would be nice if Snape’s greasy head could be cleaned too

Linn couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard Dumbledore's words.

He originally thought that Dumbledore would blame him for beating the professor in public, but in fact, Dumbledore did mention this matter, but he never expected that Dumbledore would instigate him to sack Professor Moody in the middle of the night.

If Linn hadn't known that the authority of Hogwarts Castle was controlled by the principal, and others could not directly enter the principal's office without permission, Linn would have doubted whether the Dumbledore in front of him was someone else disguised with Polyjuice Potion. .

"It's wrong of me to beat him like this in front of my classmates, but there's no need for us to put on a sack in the middle of the night, right? What if someone scares him away?"

Linn said with the corners of his mouth twitching crazily.

Hearing this, a smile appeared in the corner of Dumbledore's eyes. He sat down behind his desk and raised his wand: "I'm just making a small suggestion. Of course it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not. Black tea or coffee?"

Lin shrugged. He sat down opposite Dumbledore and said, "Black tea."

Dumbledore waved his wand gently, and a cup of black tea with steaming white mist appeared in front of Linn.

After Linn raised his tea cup and took a sip, Dumbledore asked seemingly casually: "The Triwizard Tournament will start soon. Are you ready?"

Linn smiled, raised his glass and said, "If you are talking about cracking the alchemical restrictions on the Goblet of Fire, then I think I am ready."

If it were any other alchemist, it would be extremely difficult to break Dumbledore's alchemical restrictions, because they didn't even know what the alchemy circle refined by Dumbledore looked like, so they could only refine it on their own. Create an alchemy circle with a breaking effect, and then use your own alchemy circle to collide with Dumbledore's alchemy circle to completely destroy it.

However, the alchemy circle refined by a demon king-level wizard, as long as an alchemy circle with energy storage and counterattack functions is added to it, is enough to stop other alchemists.

After all, no alchemist below the level of a devil-level wizard can exhaust the magic power stored in an alchemy circle by a devil-level wizard.

But Linn is an exception. He learned the secret method from Nico Flamel and can reveal the alchemy circle hidden inside the alchemy creation. This also means that Linn can observe the alchemy made by the other party. Array, crack or even learn the opponent's alchemy array!

As early as three years ago, Linn used this method to learn many alchemical formations from the Mirror of Erised that he would not have had access to. This also laid a solid foundation for him to learn magic formations this year.

In the Mirror of Erised three years ago, Lin En had learned three alchemical formations whose main attributes were "Lemens", "Illusion" and "Lost". When Lin En was refining the illusion formation, It is to connect these three alchemy arrays into the original system of the illusion array.

The reason why Green almost got lost after walking into Linn's illusion array during the summer vacation was that, in addition to the reality of the illusion itself and Green's unforgettable memory of that incident, the alchemy array with "lost" as its main attribute can be said to be The one who takes the greatest credit.

Therefore, when facing the alchemy circle that has been presented in front of him, Lin En does not have to hit the stone with an egg like other alchemists. He can directly learn the alchemy circle on the alchemy restriction and reversely analyze it to make it collapse.

This was also Lin En's confidence when facing Dumbledore.

…

After Linn left the principal's office, the rest of the time passed slowly.

After Professor Moody recovered from his injuries, he returned to the classroom. Because Madam Pomfrey talked to Dumbledore alone, Professor Moody was warned that he would no longer be allowed to cast unforgivable curses on young wizards.

This allowed the little wizards in Irina's class not to suffer the devastation of the Imperius Curse. Instead, after Professor Moody finished the demonstration of the three unforgivable curses, he hastily ended this type of classwork and started Get to the point.

Soon, the time came to mid-to-late October.

When everyone came to the foyer that day, they discovered the huge title on the notice erected at the foot of the marble staircase: Triwizard Tournament!

"Representatives from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will arrive at 6pm on Friday, October 30th. The afternoon classes will end half an hour early. Students are asked to return their schoolbags and textbooks to their dormitories. , gather in front of the castle to greet our guests, and then attend the welcome banquet.”

A young wizard read out the contents of the notice, which made most of the surrounding young wizards look excited.

The notice that appeared in the entrance hall had a clear impact on the young wizards in Hogwarts Castle. For the next week, people in the castle seemed to be talking about only one topic: the Triwizard Tournament.

All kinds of rumors spread quickly among the young wizards, like highly contagious bacteria, and most of the content they spread was about who would compete to be the warrior of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and what events would be included in the competition. , and how the young wizards at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are different from them.

In addition, during this week, the castle seemed to be undergoing general cleaning. Several dirty portraits were scrubbed clean, which made the scrubbed characters very dissatisfied. They sat huddled in the frame and muttered gloomily. Every time he touched the newly exposed pink flesh on his face, he grimaced in pain.

The armors in the castle suddenly became shiny, and they no longer creaked when moving.

Seeing the castle that had become brand new, Irina heard Ron always muttering something like "It would be great if Snape's greasy head could also be cleaned."

On the morning of October 30th, when the little wizards went downstairs to have breakfast, they found that the Great Hall had been decorated overnight. Huge silk banners were hung on the surrounding walls, each one representing a character of Hogwarts. Academy.

Among them, the one with a red background and a golden lion is Gryffindor, the one with a blue background and a bronze eagle is Ravenclaw, the one with a yellow background and a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is The one is Slytherin.

Behind the teacher's chair, there is also the largest banner hanging on it, which is the coat of arms of Hogwarts: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake are connected together, surrounding the initial capital "H" of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. .

Soon, as the last class of the afternoon ended early, all the teachers and students in the castle gathered in the auditorium. Under the leadership of the professors, everyone walked down the steps in an orderly manner and lined up in front of the castle.

It was a cold, fresh evening, night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.
