Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 56 The tranquility before the game

Latest website: After taking a group photo for the Daily Forecast, all the warriors and referees left the classroom one after another, leaving only Clark and Dumbledore still in the room.

"Clark, regarding the Triwizard Tournament..."

Before Dumbledore could finish his words, he was interrupted by Clark, "Headmaster, I am now a Hogwarts warrior. Regarding the competition, I think it is best to avoid suspicion."

"Cheating has always been a part of the Triwizard Tournament!"

Dumbledore said with a smile, regardless of Clark's refusal.

"The first event of the competition is the fire dragon, which is handled by Durmstrang and is located at the dragon farm.

The fire dragon should arrive in a while. When the time comes, let Hagrid take you to take a look. "

Clark was not too surprised when he heard Dumbledore's words, "It seems that Hagrid and Charlie are going to be very happy."

"So I left you here just to inform you, please be merciful during the competition. These dragons are hard-earned. After the competition, they will become the property of Hogwarts and stay in the dragon farm. "Dumbledore warned.

"I know," Clark waved his hand impatiently, "I'm not that scary. That's a fire dragon. It's not certain who will hurt whom."

"That's not necessarily true." Dumbledore complained like a child.

"By the way, and," Dumbledore added, "what do you think about the wish to obtain the Holy Grail after winning the game?"

Clark was silent for a while, and Dumbledore did not urge him. Finally, Clark spoke.

"Principal, do you have any thoughts about that wish?"

The two of them were just thinking about what to do before the fish was caught. They were not worried at all about whether Clark could win the final victory of the Triwizard Tournament and obtain the right to use the Holy Grail.

It seemed to them that this thing was already in Clark's possession.

Like Clark, Dumbledore also thought about this problem for a long time.

There is no way, that is the Holy Grail that can be compared to the universal wishing machine!

It is said that

It is just said that it can fulfill all your wishes, whether reasonable or unreasonable.

And who can have no regrets and desires in their heart?

Even as calm and wise as Dumbledore was, at this moment, facing this temptation, he lost his composure.

The white-haired old man moved his lips, and various shadows flashed through his mind like a slideshow, but he couldn't say a word.

His father, mother, sister, lover...

It seems that all the regrets can be made up for with just a few words.

However, all these thoughts finally turned into a sigh, "Hey..."

"Honestly, kid, I was really shaken just now," Dumbledore raised his head and subconsciously avoided Clark's eyes, "Maybe it's because people are getting older and have more regrets."

Clark comforted him at this time, "This is human nature, Professor."

"So I'm curious, Clark, at such a young age, how do you ensure that your wishes will not waver?

That Holy Grail is a treasure more precious than the Magic Stone. "

Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at him with piercing eyes. In his blue pupils, there was a light that seemed to be able to penetrate copper walls and iron walls, wanting to shine straight into Clark's heart.

Clark's spiritual power spontaneously formed strong dams in his ocean of thoughts, covering his inner thoughts, and said at the same time.

"Maybe...for the greater good."

Dumbledore was still staring at him, the pressure in his eyes not relaxing at all, so Clark had no choice but to speak more frankly.

"Of course, the more important reason is that I want to live forever, be as rich as the country, and be invincible in the world...even to stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars and shine with the sun and the moon.

And these, that little Holy Grail, cannot satisfy my desires. "

Dumbledore was still noncommittal about Clark's words, but the insightful light in his eyes disappeared.

"I've never been able to see through you, Clark," the old man sighed helplessly, "but I think you are a 'good' boy, aren't you?"

"Of course, Professor," Clark looked at him, "But children have to grow up eventually. Sometimes, as elders, you should also learn to let go."

Dumbledore nodded imperceptibly. It was unclear whether he agreed with Clark's words or whether he thought he was really a "good" child.

Anyway, the conversation between the two about the Holy Grail started suddenly and ended suddenly.

As time went by, the topic of the Triwizard Tournament in the castle began to become heated again.

Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament and the exclusive interview with the character in "Hogwarts School Journal" were a warm-up for this competition.

When people curiously opened the "Pre-Jia Daily Post", they found that this article was not so much a report on the situation of the championship, but more of a personal tribute to Clark.

A large portion of the first page of the newspaper was taken up by a picture of Clark with a big smile, and the entire article (to be continued on pages two, six, and seven) was about Clark.

In the original interview, Clark's few words have now turned into long speeches.

In contrast, the names of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang warriors were squeezed into the last line of the article and were misspelled. There was no mention of the additional warrior Bruce Stewart.

However, a best-selling author is a best-selling author, and his literary skills are really nothing to say.

Even if it is a long personal report, readers do not dislike it at all, and even read it with gusto, and even have a great impression of Clark, the protagonist of the report.

In contrast, although the report content of "Hogwarts School Journal" is objective and detailed, the text content is too boring, and it is not as popular as Rita Skeeter's report.

"What is this all about?!"

Ginny held the open "Daily Preview" in her hand and complained with dissatisfaction.

“Look at this: Reporters asked a lot of people what they thought of Clark Prewett.

'Clark is my idol. He is kind and takes good care of us junior students. ’ said Colin Creevey, a third-year Gryffindor student.

'Clark finally found his first love at Hogwarts. ’ said his close friend, the famous Harry Potter.

Clark was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger. Miss Granger was stunningly beautiful and was born into a Muggle family. Like Clark, she was one of the top students in the school.

Clark, you're not really dating Hermione, are you? "

Ginny put down the newspaper in her hand and curiously asked Clark, who was sitting opposite and eating toast. Hermione, who was sitting next to him, had a blush on her cheeks because of this question. She lowered her head and ate her breakfast in silence. .

Clark glanced at Hermione sitting next to him from the corner of his eye, then smiled and threw a piece of bread over, hitting Ginny's plate impartially.

"Eat breakfast, this won't stop you. Are you good at writing reports? Look at other people's reports, and then look at yours. Don't be the deputy editor and fail to convince the public."

Ginny glared at Clark dissatisfied, "That's Rita Skeeter, the number one best-selling author. How can I possibly compare to her?"

"Don't belittle yourself, I believe you can do it." Clark said words of encouragement, and then got up and left with Hermione and Neville who had also finished breakfast.

"Didn't Rita Skeeter's article be sent to you in advance?" Hermione couldn't help but ask as soon as she left the auditorium, "You didn't want to change it?"

Neville walked at the end very wisely, leaving space for them.

"Revise? I've already asked her to revise it once. Didn't you see that I was embarrassed to read her original draft?" Clark said.

"You've changed it again and you're still like this?" Hermione seemed satisfied with his answer and complained arrogantly, "You are really narcissistic."

"Why am I narcissistic? Isn't that true?"

"Narcissistic! Just narcissistic!"

Neville, who was standing behind, looked at the two people fighting and laughing in front of him, feeling bitter in his mouth, and finally shook his head helplessly.

However, there is not only a good side to a thing.

Since this article appeared, Clark has indeed gained more fans, and the young wizards who originally maintained a neutral attitude have begun to support the Hogwarts warrior.

Some enthusiastic little witches even started asking him to sign various things.

But on the other hand, Hermione who appeared in the report naturally shared some unpleasantness.

"Amazingly beautiful? Her?" Pansy Parkinson said strangely when she first met Hermione after Rita's article was published. "What is she judged on - a chipmunk?"

What was rare was that Hermione didn't yell at these people who were mocking her. To be honest, Clark admired the way she handled this situation, which at least showed that she was more mature.

"Ignore it," Hermione said in a dignified tone, holding her head high as she strode past the giggling Slytherin girls, with a proud look on her face. That’s all they need, these people are just jealous.”

In addition to Hermione, Rondo Clark's prejudice also deepened.

The publication of Tully Skeeter's article seemed to reinforce Ron's belief that Clark was someone who liked to show off and show off.

Regarding this, Clark would not coddle him or explain anything to him. After all, he was just a cousin.

Aside from these changes, Clark's campus life remains the same as it was before he became a Warrior.

I still get up early and run in the morning as usual, go to class with my classmates as usual, and hang out in the library as usual.

The teacher will not give you any less homework just because you are a Hogwarts warrior. Professor McGonagall will even beat him to prevent him from getting bloated due to his special status.

"Clark, you can't be a warrior every year, but next year's .l exam is bound to come.

Although it is important to gain honor for the school, I hope you can think about yourself and learn more knowledge.

Therefore, you must hand in the homework for last class to me! "

Just like that, the days leading up to that first project flew by in the blink of an eye, as if someone had set the clock twice as fast.

As the game approached, Clark remained as usual and did not make any specific preparations.

Hermione, on the other hand, was a little impatient with his leisurely and lazy look, and would whisper in his ears from time to time.

In this way, on the Saturday before the first project started, the school approved students from third grade and above to visit Hogsmeade.

There is no way, the dragon farm is not open yet, so the students can only make do with it.

The three Clarks were also among the people going to Hogsmeade. Harry wanted to accompany Ron and did not go with them.

When they walked into the village, classmates walked by them from time to time and greeted Clark enthusiastically, and Clark responded politely.

After dealing with these enthusiastic supporters, they first went to Honeydukes Candy Shop to purchase a batch of candies and snacks, and then walked towards the Three Broomsticks Tavern.

At the entrance of the tavern, they also met Rita Skeeter and her photographer friend coming out of the Three Broomsticks tavern.

They were talking about something in a low voice, but when Rita Skeeter looked up, she happened to see Clark and immediately trotted to Clark.

"Classmate Clark, I didn't expect to see you here." Rita Skeeter greeted her in a flattering way.

Clark nodded and said hello.

Rita Skeeter saw that he didn't want to say anything more to her, so she said, "I will stay in the village for a while until I finish watching the first competition event, Clark, what do you need from me? Just ask."

After that, she didn't bother, greeted her photographer friend, and strode away.

"I've always wanted to ask you, why did that guy treat you like that?"

When Clark and the others opened the door of the Three Broomsticks Tavern and were about to go in and drink a glass of butterbeer to warm themselves up, Hermione said.

"I checked, and Rita Skeeter is no simple creature in the news media."

Clark knew that Hermione was just reminding himself that Rita Skeeter was not simple, so don't be fooled by her flattery.

But he was not worried about this, "It's okay, the reason why Rita Skeeter is like this is just because she has something in my hands."

"The handle?" Hermione asked curiously.

At this time, the Three Broomsticks Tavern was full of people, mainly Hogwarts students, who were enjoying the freedom of this afternoon.

However, there are also many people from the magical world who are rarely seen elsewhere, probably because the Triwizard Tournament is approaching, so they came here specifically to watch the game.

Neville went to buy a drink, and Clark and Hermione moved sideways toward an empty table in the corner.

As they walked through, they saw Harry and Ron, as well as George, Fred and Lee Jordan, all sitting together.

"That's right, with a little bit of information and the fact that I'm still a shareholder of "Peer Daily", that's why she would please me so much."

Clark explained this after taking a seat. At this time, Neville had already come over with three glasses of butterbeer.

Clark took the glass and took a sip. A warm current immediately flowed through his body in this cold early winter.
