The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Hermione walked to the center of the classroom, stood in the clearing that Moody had just vacated, and faced Moody's wand.

"Out of body experience!" Moody said, pointing his wand at Hermione.

After the curse hit Hermione, her body trembled, and a strange feeling came to her heart. Hermione felt light and airy, and the anxiety and excitement she had just felt before taking the stage were swept away, leaving only a senseless, white joy.

At this time, Hermione had almost entered a state of selflessness, carefree and unusually relaxed. Her perception of the outside world was extremely weak, and she was almost completely isolated from the outside world.

At this time, Moody's voice rang in Hermione's mind: [Raise your hands above your head...]

Hermione raised her hand smoothly, but then she felt a burning sensation on her wrist. She looked at her wrist with some confusion, but there was nothing there.

[Raise your hands above your head...]

【Why should I do this? What the hell is going on on my wrist? 】

A different voice appeared next to Hermione and rebutted Moody.

[Raise your hands above your head! 】

This time Moody's voice was louder, more determined, and more irresistible. The voice behind Hermione was also louder:

【No! I need to figure out what happened to my wrist first! 】

The two voices intertwined in Hermione's mind, causing her ears to hurt. The next moment, she felt a pain in her knees. It turned out that the noise from two voices made her dizzy. In the end, she accidentally fell to her knees on the floor, knocking her knees and almost splitting them.

"Okay, good! This is decent!" The strange feeling in Hermione's mind disappeared, and she could see the classmates around her again.

"Look! This is true tenacity. She successfully resisted the Imperius Curse!" Moody pointed at Hermione and praised loudly. The compliments made Hermione blush with embarrassment. She knew very well that this had little to do with her own will, and that the bracelet on her hand was the biggest contributor.

"Granger, tell me how you did it." Moody planned to ask Hermione to share her advanced experience, which made Hermione sit on the wax directly. She couldn't recommend finding a friend of the opposite sex, so she could only support it. He hesitated to express his doubts in his heart.

"Well, asking more and thinking more is also a way to deal with the Imperius Curse, next!" Moody obviously thought Hermione was talking nonsense. This is like asking an academic master why he did well in an exam. Everyone knows that it is talent plus hard work. It is easy to know but difficult to do. There are many people who understand the truth, but only a few people succeed in the end.

Moody felt that Hermione was still able to resist the Imperius Curse, ultimately because her will was strong enough.

Even with Hermione setting an example and sharing her experience, none of the next students could resist Moody's Imperius Curse.

Moody looked at these unsatisfactory little wizards and sighed. Except for Hermione Granger, no one in the room could catch his eye.

He had already lowered the control of the Imperius Curse. As a result, no one except Hermione could break free from his control - let alone control, there was no sign of resistance. Faced with his instructions, everyone acted like a good baby. Carry it out carefully.

This made Moody dumbfounded: With this level, how will he face the dark wizard in the future?

Moody is still a little out of touch with reality. He does not have an accurate understanding of the strength of the little wizards at Hogwarts. The group of young wizards in front of him were all born in a peaceful era. They had not been baptized by war, and they were all very young. It's really too much to expect them to be able to withstand the Imperius Curse.

It looked like we could only go a few more times, Moody thought to himself. He planned to let the young wizards experience the Imperius Curse a few more times to exercise their willpower. It would be better if they could develop the ability to resist the Imperius Curse.

"Tom Yoder." He shooed the little wizard out of his circle and called out the next name on the roster. Looking at this name, Moody's normal eye narrowed slightly: he had an impression of this name, and he stole the show in the World Cup finals.

I wonder how such a person would behave? Moody raised his wand expectantly: "Out of body!"

The Imperius Curse can be dodged and can also be deflected by protective spells, but in order to experience the feeling of being hit by the Imperius Curse, Tom did nothing and stood there and received the Imperius Curse.

Next Tom understood what ecstasy meant.

However, when Moody gave the order, Tom's wrist also felt a burning sensation. This burning sensation directly changed Tom's right eye, turning into a slender snake pupil, and then something wonderful happened: Tom The scenes seen by the two eyes are completely different.

Ordinary eyes saw the same empty and foggy scene, but Snake Eyes saw the scene of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Tom could see the tables and chairs piled aside, the classmates surrounding them, and Professor Moody holding a wand.

He suddenly remembered that he was in class and experiencing the Imperius Curse. When he realized this, Moody's Imperius Curse was automatically lifted, and the objects seen by both eyes became the same again.

With the help of the bracelet and telekinesis, Tom managed to break free of the Imperius Curse. After returning to normal, Tom removed the telekinesis and allowed his eyes to return to their original state. But the change in his eyes just now was clearly seen by Moody, who had the magic eye.

Moody frowned subconsciously. His eyes turning into snake pupils was not a good sign in his opinion, because thanks to the blessings of dark wizards of all ages, the element of snake was always easily associated with dark magic and Slytherin. But this was the first time even Moody had seen eyes that were immune to the Imperius Curse. This was really amazing.

"Congratulations, you successfully escaped the Imperius Curse." Although he was worried, Moody still praised Tom verbally.

The little wizards all looked at Tom. Being unaffected by the Imperius Curse and undoing the control of the Imperius Curse are two different things. Being immune to the effects is already a high-end operation that only Hermione can do, let alone breaking the curse abruptly.

In the remaining time, Moody handed over the young wizards who had never been on stage in turn and let them experience the Imperius Curse. When the last little wizard's experience was over, he looked at Tom and Hermione, opened his scarred lips, and forced out a terrifying smile.

"Let's try again!" He planned to increase the intensity and test the limits of Tom and Hermione.

An hour later, when the two of them walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, they both looked a little dazed. However, the benefits are obvious. The two of them can stably break Moody's Soul-Imperius Curse.

Before get out of class ended, Moody poured cold water on Tom and Hermione, telling them that he had been letting off steam just now, and that he was not a dark wizard. The power of the Unforgivable Curse was even weaker than that of a real dark wizard, so the two of them must not We cannot be complacent.

Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and kept muttering: "Does he think we will be controlled by the Imperius Curse at any time?"

"Maybe it's true." Tom rubbed his swollen temples.

A week into school, Tom and all the other fourth graders noticed a significant increase in homework this semester compared to last year. In the face of the students' complaints, Professor McGonagall plausibly stated that the fourth-year wizards were in an important period. The O.W.L. exam was not far away, and everyone must be fully prepared.

What Professor McGonagall didn't say was that the O.W.L. exam will not be until fifth grade...

This behavior of starting to prepare for the exam a year in advance awakened painful memories in Tom's DNA, making him want to skip a few classes to heal the scars in his heart.

Divination class is still the same as before. Professor Trelawney spends a quarter of the class time telling the students some magical things, and another quarter of the time making some tragic predictions-mostly For Harry, most of the remaining time was spent praising Tom's gift of prophecy and asking him to predict something. The last bit of time was used for lectures.

As the "red man" in front of Professor Trelawney, Tom was forced to make many predictions. This is a technical job, because Professor Trelawney only wants to see bad things happen, making Tom miserable - even if he makes it up, he can't make up so many disasters! But the benefits are obvious. Ravenclaw Academy scored a lot of points in the divination class.

There were a lot of homework assigned to him in Transfiguration, he was in trouble every day in Divination class, and he was also busy with other subjects. Professor Binns assigned a paper; Professor Flitwick asked everyone to study three books to prepare for learning the summoning spell; Snape played an extremely novel trick - he asked the students to carefully learn how to prepare the solution. medicine, and he might poison a certain student before Christmas to see if the antidote they prepared is effective. Now everyone was in danger. Even though Harry from Gryffindor was blocking the gun in front of him, no one dared to take it lightly.

If there is any course that has received positive feedback, it is Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures course. Since Hagrid adopted Tom's advice, his snail farming business has reached a climax.

After being separated and housed, the snails stopped fighting each other and began to eat in earnest. With an adequate supply of nutrients, they are growing rapidly, causing countless students to worry that they are growing too fast. It started out as just six inches and now it's almost a foot! And their growth hasn’t slowed down at all!

Fortunately, Tom's little discovery spread like wildfire, and the death rate of snails also increased rapidly. The causes of their death are varied: some met their companions while walking, got into a fight and died together; some were accidentally affected by the aftermath of the fight and suffered internal injuries; and some Blast-tailed Skrewts ended their lives due to excessive depression.

Facing the soaring death rate, Hagrid remained quite calm.

"It's normal for an animal like this that dominates the food chain to have a high mortality rate among its young - they can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. If the mortality rate wasn't high, Hogwarts would have been captured by the Blast-tailed Skrewts long ago!" Hagrid said carelessly.

The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, school had started for two weeks. In the past two weeks, Tom completed the order for curse-proof gloves from the Ministry of Magic, and also made every effort to prepare Hermione's birthday gift. The amount of things he had accomplished was incredible even when he looked back and took stock.

And the Triwizard Tournament finally kicked off.

When Tom returned to the castle from his Fantastic Beasts cooking class that day, he found that the foyer was packed with students.

There is a notice posted high in the foyer:

[Triwizard Tournament:

Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6pm on Friday evening, with the afternoon session ending half an hour early. At that time, students are asked to pack up their personal belongings and gather in front of the castle to welcome guests from afar. Please be sure to wear school robes...]

This news means that the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin.

"Time is running out!" Tom saw Macmillan of Hufflepuff squeeze out of the crowd, his eyes shining brightly: "I don't know if Cedric knows about it, I have to tell him-"

There are many people who have done similar things, and students from various colleges are rushing to tell the news to the senior students in the college who may become warriors.

However, the young wizards of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are obviously a little disappointed. The people in their houses who are most likely to become warriors-Tom and Harry-are not old enough.

"You still want to be a warrior with Digory's appearance?" Fred said sourly: "I bet that if Harry can participate, Digory will not be able to participate."

Cedric was the captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, and Fred had been unhappy with him for a long time.

"If Harry Potter can sign up, then so can our Yodel. I think if Yodel can sign up, there will be no suspense about the result."

"As far as common sense is concerned, indeed."

"Yordle is great, but Harry is not bad either. He is the 'Boy Who Lived'!"

"So is there any project to resist the life-killing curse?"

"..."

A strange trend of comparison has arisen inexplicably in the school. Many Ravenclaw students regretted that Tom could not participate in the selection, and then began to face off against students from other houses to compare their combat prowess, and even competed against each other.

This kind of remarks made some students in the other three houses feel unhappy, but they had nothing to do - because Tom was indeed famous but could not participate in the selection.

However, a piece of gossip a few days later completely ignited public opinion: Even if you have not become a participating warrior, you can still participate in the competition - as a level BOSS!

At this time, countless little wizards became excited, secretly gearing up, waiting for their own opportunities.

You know, there is only one warrior, so the probability of being selected is actually low, but the probability of joining the assessment project is much higher.

In this way, the topic of the Triwizard Tournament spread among the students like a plague. No matter where he went, there was only one core topic of discussion: the Triwizard Tournament.

What are the events of the competition, who will become the warrior, what are the differences between the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons and them...

Finally, the day finally came for the other two schools to arrive.
