The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

　　 There is still one month to go before the summer vacation. As the exams were cancelled, the students seemed to be very leisurely. The happy roar of students can be heard from all corners of the school. A few days later, the students found several breaking news on the student bulletin board:

First, Lucius Malfoy was expelled from the school board, which symbolized that the Malfoy family would completely lose influence in Hogwarts, because Draco seemed very disappointed in this matter and he was no longer there. Protrudingly walked around the school. Under Xie Lin’s enlightenment, he finally started to follow Xie Lin’s advice. He no longer imagined relying on family power to show off his power, but settled down to study magic and practice flying, determined to rely on his own strength to maintain. The glory of the family.

　　 Schelling saw that Draco was finally moving forward, and felt that although this storm was detrimental to the Malfoy family's reputation, it was a good thing. What's more, it is not someone else who fills the position of Lucius's school board, but it is Mr. Gareth Greengrass, the owner of Greengrass.

Second, Dumbledore personally announced that it will restart a friendly college game that has been suspended for centuries. This game is called "Merlin's Test". This is an open competition for students from grades 1 to 6 of the four major colleges. The reward for winning is a special medal of Sir Merlin.

　　 Sir Merlin was founded by the legendary wizard Merlin in the eleventh century. It is the earliest magic organization established in the magic world and has a very high reputation. Sir Merlin was created to help Muggles, stipulating that wizards prohibit the use of magic on Muggles, and agreeing that each wizard in the regiment assumes responsibility for protecting Muggles.

Later, due to the establishment of the Ministry of Magic and the promulgation of the "International Secrecy Act" in 1689, wizards were completely turned into concealment. Wiesengamao established an honor system in the name of Sir Merlin to reward those who have made great contributions to the development of wizarding society. Wizard. The Merlin Medal is divided into three different levels: First Class Medal, Second Class Medal and Third Class Medal. The winning prize of this competition is a special medal of honor independent of the level system, which rewards students with outstanding performance.

　　 Just as everyone was enthusiastically talking about this friendly match, a new message came, extinguishing the illusion that most people wanted to participate.

　　 Except for Slytherin, each college can only send one person to participate in the competition. The candidate for the competition will be determined by the dean of the college. It can be selected or directly designated. Although there is no explicit stipulation that upper-grade students must participate in the competition, generally speaking, upper-grade students always have an advantage over lower-grade students. Everyone understands that the qualifications for the competition are estimated to only fall to those elite seniors in the upper-grade. Among.

What makes people feel very unfair is that Slytherin can send a total of three students to the competition. Dumbledore gave the reason: Merlin himself is a student who graduated from Slytherin College, and the reward system he left behind is biased towards him. The younger generation in the same hospital is also understandable. Sherring suddenly understood that Merlin was actually doing it for Dumbledore. This meant that Dumbledore had mentioned to himself the compensation for Slytherin. I couldn’t think that the respectable Dumbledore was doing the same way, Schelling. Imagine maliciously.

Slytherin’s candidate was selected the fastest, and Snape impatiently appointed the 6th grade prefect Gemma Farley, the 4th grade Cassius Wallington, and the 2nd grade Sherin Malfoy directly. 3 people are candidates for the contest.

Gallup Lestrange, who was originally one of the hottest candidates, unexpectedly lost the election, which caused a lot of loss of followers around Gallup, which caused a lot of reputation for the Lestrange family. Blow. Gellerp's gloomy figure can often be seen in the Slytherin lounge, and of course no one dares to offend him.

Schelling is not surprised that he was selected. With his current strength and reputation, he is more than enough to represent Slytherin. For this competition, he has increased his knowledge and can rarely participate in the higher grades. He is not too concerned about the victory and the so-called winning prizes. A medal that can only represent honor is no different from a fame to him, and has no practical meaning.

Moreover, as a member of the Malfoy family, it’s not difficult to get the Merlin Medal, as long as you donate a large amount of money to the Ministry of Magic, this is a precedent, as far as he knows, Arcturus of the Black family This is how Black got the medal.

　　 In the next few days, the other colleges basically decided the candidates. The candidate for Gryffindor is Percy Wesley, the prefect of the sixth grade. It is said that he has obtained 12 certificates in the OWL exam and is a fighter in the school hegemony. Ravenclaw’s candidate is Penello Krivart, the prefect of the 6th grade, a beautiful girl with a long brown curly hair. She was petrified by a basilisk and came out of petrification only a few days ago. restore.

　　 The candidates for these two academies are not surprising. They are both senior leaders.

　　 In contrast, Hufflepuff's candidate seems very strange. Hufflepuff’s candidate is a fourth-grade student Cedric Diggory. This handsome guy is still unknown throughout Hogwarts, except for being a seeker for the Quidditch team. There is nothing else to notice. Of course, Xie Lin, who is familiar with the original book, knows that this little handsome guy is not bad. He was almost the strongest presence in the school when he was in the 6th grade, so he was selected as the representative of Hogwarts by the Goblet of Fire.

　　 Hearing these familiar names in previous lives, and thinking that he would become their opponent, an uncontrollable excitement started to move in Schelling's heart.

　　 Soon, the second week of June also means the beginning of Merlin's test.

　　The venue for the game was Quidditch Stadium. There were full seats early in the morning, and students from various colleges attended to cheer for the representatives of their colleges.

The competition is divided into three events. The topic of the competition will be provided by an ancient magic book with a thick dark purple cover carried by Dumbledore. It is a magic book with autonomous consciousness similar to the Goblet of Fire, the title of the book It's called "The Book of Merlin", and Dumbledore and the four deans will serve as referees to score the contestants. There is no doubt about the fairness of the game.

　　The first project is the potion competition. With a light wave of Dumbledore’s wand at the Book of Merlin, the Book of Merlin opened automatically, turning quickly, turning over a certain page before stopping, and a deep voice came out, "The antidote to the detoxification of living hell. ..."

　　 Living Hell Decoction is a very effective sedative and sleeping pill that can make people fall asleep. It belongs to the 6th grade NEWT improvement class, so senior students do have an advantage. Among the contestants, only Percy and Penello knew how to make. Although Gemma was in the 6th grade, she did not enter the potion improvement class, so at this time, she was as confused and at a loss as the junior contestants. But the topic of the competition is not to make a decoction of living hell, but to make its antidote. Percy and Penello may not know the knowledge outside of this course.

　　 Fortunately, Xie Lin just knows the answer to this question. The answer appears in the book "The Book of Medieval Secret Medicines" that Meredith gave to Schelling at Christmas. It was a medicine invented by an ancestor of the Shafik family.

At that time, she fell in love with a certain handsome Muggle, but because of family opposition, she came up with the drama of using a decoction of living **** to pretend to run away. For this reason, she spent a lot of thought and invented an antidote. After being buried underground, the Muggle lover rescued her at midnight, and then used the antidote to rescue her. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. During her development of the potion, the Muggle fell in love with another girl, so after she was buried underground, she did not keep her promise to rescue her, but cruelly let her be buried alive—— Fortunately, the decoction of living **** taken by the ancestor lost its effect for some reason, so she finally avoided the fate of being buried alive. Reborn from the dead, she was completely hated because of love, and tortured the Muggle lover and the vixen to death with black magic.

　　The antidote was not used in the end, but the production method was recorded, and it was also named "invigorating potion".

While the rest of the contestants were still thinking hard, Schelling had already started his performance, and saw that his movements were like flowing water, as if he was making a work of art instead of a boring potion. The referees were all satisfied with it. Nodded.

Professor McGonagall couldn’t help turning his head to Dumbledore and said, “If this kid enters school early, maybe the winner of the last Potions Championship belongs to Hogwarts, not Mahtokull. Up."

Dumbledore nodded lightly and looked at the other contestants. Among them, Percy, Penello, and Gemma all started making their potions not long after Schelling started, while Cedric just started right now. Choosing materials, and Cassius is still thinking hard. The process of refining potions is one-way and boring, so I won't mention it here.

The invigorating potion that Schelling refined was very standard, and it was no surprise that he scored a perfect score of 50 points. There was a lot of cheers in the Slytherin area. Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had some little wizards who were willing to give applause, although Most of them are girls in lower grades.

　　 The high-concentration refreshing potion refined by Percy can also wake up the poisoned sleeping person, but it has the side effects of nausea, stomach pain and vomiting. He scored 40 points.

Penello refining the mandrake resurrection potion, it is probably inspired by her own experience of being petrified. Unexpectedly, it can also revive people from sleep, but after waking up People are still sleepy and dizzy. She scored 40 points like Percy.

　　 Gemma and Cedric refined the universal antidote, which did not produce any effect, and only got 10 points equal to the comfort points. Cassius failed to refine the potion under tremendous pressure, without any finished products, and was the only contestant to score zero.

　　 is followed by the second event of the competition: the metamorphosis competition~www.wuxiaspot.com~The title given by the book of Merlin is: turning a stone into a living mouse.

This problem is very easy, every contestant can do it-Percy, Penello, Gemma succeeded in turning the rock into a lifelike mouse in the first attempt; Cedric changed in the first attempt The mouse without a beard did not succeed until the second attempt; Cassius tried three times before he succeeded, but the mouse's tail seemed shorter.

After reading Professor McGonagall’s transfiguration notes, Schelling admitted that his transfiguration had already reached the OWL level, but it was too challenging to live a rat, so Schelling planned to challenge more difficult transformations-after all Schelling is the youngest in the field, and he does not have the pressure and baggage that other players have to overcome. Schelling meticulously recalled every important detail of Transfiguration in Professor McGonagall’s notes, and then concentrated all his energy to cast Transfiguration on the stone-the stone became a lifelike Motra in the eyes of everyone's astonishment. mouse!

Although the magical creatures transformed by Polymorphism do not have magical properties, Motra Mouse and an ordinary mouse have no difference in natural ability, but they need to use Polymorphism to create dense and agile anemone-like tentacles on the back of the mouse. But it's not easy. If you don't have a good grasp of the details of the deformation, it is easy to become an octopus-like or squid-like tentacles, then painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.

　　 Sherin, Percy, Penello, and Gemma all got a perfect score of 50, while Cedric got 40 points and Cassius got 35 points.

　　 The temporary standings are as follows: Schelling 100 points, Percy and Penello 90 points, Gemma 60 points, Cedric 50 points, Cassius 35 points. Cassius’s basic championship is hopeless, and Cedric’s chances are slim. There are only 4 contestants left in the championship, and Schelling, as the only junior student, is particularly eye-catching among the contestants.
