Harry Potter’s Strongest Senior

Professor McGonagall said in detail that the four-school friendly match was divided into four games, and the opponents were determined by drawing lots. The first three games used a points system, and the fourth game was a four-school melee.

"For the first potion production, the school that completes the potion production within the specified time will get one point. This competition will be held jointly by the four schools, and there is no need to draw lots." Professor McGonagall said.

"The second round is a one-man duel. There are three rounds in total. The two schools send three students each. The winner of each round gets one point. Let me tell you that in the first three games, each person can only participate in one game. It cannot be repeated."

"In the third game, the team competition, the two schools send two students each, and the four of them fight in a melee. The winner of the team competition will get three points."

Hearing this, Hufflepuff's fifth grade representative Zach Abbot couldn't help asking.

"Then as long as the two strongest players are sent to participate in the team competition and get three points, as long as they can score one point in front, won't they be able to win?"

"The other three schools will think the same way, and they will even change their strategy, putting the strongest four in the first two games, and the weakest in the team game. As long as they all get points in the front, the team game is not important It is." Sean analyzed.

The rules and competition system of the four-school friendly match are very interesting, and strategies and tactics must be taken into account.

Professor McGonagall nodded towards Sean, "That's right, as Sean said, the four-match friendly match requires thinking about strategies."

"Schools with high points in the competition will advance directly, and the two schools that lost will compete again, and the one that loses will win the fourth place, and the remaining three schools will compete for the first, second and third places." Professor McGonagall said.

Sean was a little puzzled when he heard this, is this the ranking? Didn't it mean that there are four games in total?

"Professor, isn't there four games?" Penello Clearwater, a third-year Ravenclaw student, asked Sean doubts.

"Don't worry, I'm going to talk about the fourth scene." Professor McGonagall said slowly.

"The fourth game is determined according to the rankings of the first three games. Before the fourth game starts, each team will get a ring. After that, the four teams will enter the forest of the valley according to their rankings, and each team will enter the ring. When they were in the forest of the valley, they were scattered."

"You will be separated from your team members, and then you must find a way to reunite with the team members, find the trophy that belongs to your school, and at least two people who walk out of the forest with the trophy will be considered a winner."

The forest of the valley is no stranger to the students of Hogwarts. This is a mountain forest about ten kilometers away from Hogwarts. There are some magical creatures living in it, but the degree of danger is far less than that of the Forbidden Forest.

Professor McGonagall continued to explain, "Remember, the ring is the key to getting the trophy. Without it, you can't get the trophy. Therefore, before entering the forest of the valley, you must decide who to give the ring to for safekeeping."

The more Sean listened, the more interesting it became. The difficulty of the fourth game was far higher than that of the previous three competitions. It could be described as a battle of wits, but he was still a little uncertain, so he asked.

"Are all four rings the same?"

"Yes, the rings of the four teams are the same, but the trophies are four different, engraved with the names of the four schools respectively, and there is a magic barrier around the trophies, and only the rings can get the trophies." Professor McGonagall Said.

"Then you can use your own team's ring to get a trophy from another academy?"

"That's right."

Sean stopped talking. He was thinking about the rules of the fourth game. The four teams entered in batches by name, and the players would be dispersed when each team entered. So it is very important who will keep the ring.

If there is no accident, they will be handed over to the most powerful captain in the team for safekeeping, but this strategy has a very big disadvantage. When other teams think that the Hogwarts ring is in the hands of Captain Charlie, they will try every means For Charlie.

They even team up to snatch the ring from Charlie's hand, so that Hogwarts can't get their own trophy. Of course, Hogwarts can also snatch the ring from other teams.

In the end, at least two people must walk out of the forest of the valley with the trophy. This may mean that there will be injuries in the four games, making it impossible for all members to leave.

"Professor, was there any death in the previous four-school friendly match? After all, I heard that the Triwizard Tournament had a high casualty rate." Sean asked.

"No, before the fourth game, each participant will distribute a pendant. The pendant is a portkey. If you encounter danger or want to retire, just inject a little magic power into the pendant, and it will take you away."

"The forest of the valley will be restricted by magic at that time, and apparition will not work in it." Professor McGonagall added.

Entering the forest of the valley in order of ranking is somewhat similar to the rules of the last event of the Triwizard Tournament. Theo seemed to have thought of this question, so he asked.

"Professor, how long is the time interval between the four teams entering the forest of the valley?"

"An hour," Snape replied for Professor McGonagall.

Snape went on to say, "This means that the first team has more time to find the trophy. If the first team finds the trophy, even if it is not from their own house, they can take the trophy away and let the other team find the trophy." The team loses the trophy."

Xiao En thought, in this case, the order of entering the forest of the valley becomes very important, and this scuffle does not seem to stipulate that the schools cannot join hands, this should also be a test of the students' strategic ability.

If you can persuade another team to join forces, even if your team is the last to enter the field, it will not be completely at a disadvantage.

Obviously Theo also thought of this question, he looked at Penello inadvertently, and said to Snape.

"Professor, then in the first potion competition, send the weakest one in the team. Since the potion was completed within the specified time, it is best if it is completed. If it is not completed, we can also focus on the next one." In the game."

Sean understood what Theo meant. It stands to reason that every team would choose to bet on the team competition if they want to get a top name. However, Snape's next words let Sean know that this is the way to go. Reasons why it won't work.

Even though Theo was the student representative of Slytherin, Snape still glanced at him unceremoniously and said.

"Do you think that the potion competition is for you to make up the numbers? The exam question of the potion competition is usually to make advanced potions, and the potions that are successfully produced will become your props and be brought into the forest of the valley together."

Xiao En finally understood that in the first potion production, there was no chance of winning the competition with lower grades, but he was an exception. Last semester, he made two high-level potions by himself.

This potion talent has to be said to be very Snape's style. Compared with Hermione's successful production of Polyjuice Potion in the second year, Sean is obviously better.

Had Penello been in the first game, Hogwarts would have lost a point and lost a prop in the fourth game.
