This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"Referee!"

"It's not surprising, if it's Mr. Taylor..."

"Yeah, it would be strange if he became a warrior with us."

The bilingual discussion among the Durmstrang students nearby finally brought Harry, who was still applauding along with the crowd, back to his senses from the shocking news.

He actually hadn't fully digested the shocking news that Dumbledore had brought up, but judging from the reactions of the Durmstrang students, it seemed that this matter was not so unacceptable?

"But this is too weird... Students becoming referees or something..."

He thought he had adapted to life in a magical society, but he still found it hard to accept how magical the society was.

Harry turned to look at Ron, expecting his friend to comfort him or explain to him - not because of jealousy or anything else, but because this gap was too great a shock to his common sense, and he desperately hoped that Ron would act as if he was used to it.

But Ron's jaw had not yet closed, and he looked regretful.

"We should concentrate on the target, Harry."

After being surprised for a moment, Ron said something that Harry didn't understand at all.

"ah?"

"He's serious, yes, that's definitely a Warriors ticket, no doubt about it."

Ron nodded.

But Ron was not the only one who realized this. There were also a bunch of students who slacked off during the holidays for various reasons - damn, they should have worked harder during the holidays!

Sighs were heard almost one after another, but no one dared to make a loud noise - the new referee was standing there. If he could recommend someone to play, he could also suspend them!

These minor fluctuations did not affect Dumbledore. He began to announce the selection method without changing his expression, and announced that eligible underage students could carry out their warrior election tomorrow night - they had enough time to think about it before, and now, it was time to make a decision.

——

"The Goblet of Fire, the cup for the selection, is in the entrance hall. Whether you participate in the selection or not, I will go anyway."

Fred spoke to his friends in an extremely serious manner, "George and I made the most progress last school year, and we have the legal right to violate the rules, so we plan to start our first attempt tomorrow night after a day of research. You'd better wait for us."

"After all, there are legal violations and illegal violations. I suspect Dumbledore must have set up some ingenious mechanism," George nodded and added, "Think of a legend. He was able to use magic to create miracles when he was in school."

"But we can't handle Taylor's challenge...Now it's Dumbledore's restriction..."

Li Qiaodan frowned, which was rare, and his happy face was no longer common. "I should have taken my vacation more seriously. That was a referee's recommendation!"

"But the recommendation time is over, Lee. Even if it is overturned now, Taylor will not continue to recommend it. Merlin's socks, how come he became the referee?"

Another student shook his head and advised.

"He's not just a referee, he's also a popular autograph seeker. You should have seen it, Ron used Taylor's autograph to exchange for Krum's autographed photo and cane!"

A sour voice sounded, but it did not cause disgust among the crowd - they were jealous too, because that was Krum's stuff!

But acid can't solve any problems. After a few troublemakers discussed for a long time, they decided to try the potion first. Then they went their separate ways and started to mix the ingredients with their imaginations that would make Professor Snape curse.

On the other side, Harry and the other two were looking at Hermione.

"Are you really going to sign up, Hermione?"

Ron did not forget to touch his precious cane when asking, which somewhat diluted the worry on his face. "That's a competition prepared for adult students. If you are selected, you don't have the right to withdraw!"

Before the students from the other three schools arrived, Hermione, a qualified student, had been trying to persuade Harry and Ron not to take any risks - because not only did they always go to look at the target when they went to Hogsmeade, they also fantasized about the life of a warrior from time to time.

At that time, Hermione looked up a lot of information to persuade the two not to take advantage of loopholes - she didn't think they could handle Dumbledore's restrictions, but Taylor's was much worse.

She didn't know whether she should be happier at this moment. After all, her two friends really listened to what she said.

But she has her own ideas.

She struggled to maintain first place last school year, but her lead has narrowed.

But it doesn't matter, she won after all.

But with Taylor becoming the referee, her first place was talked about again - some students even felt that she was able to win the first place in a despicable way by taking more courses.

'I have to try it, just like the Time Turner, if I don't insist and feel I can't bear it, then I really can't bear it.'

'If I think I'm not good enough, then I really am not good enough...'

'Even if I really can't make it, I should be eliminated with dignity, instead of giving up the Warriors selection with the excuse that I can't make it - if that's the case, I really can't make it.'

'Why can't lower graders become warriors?'

'Since I am qualified to apply, and my knowledge and spells are superior to most students, why can't I?'

"He can be a judge even though he is a student. I just want to be a warrior. What's wrong with showing off the magic I have mastered?"

Hermione reaffirmed her belief.

"Yes, I am quite sure that I will become a warrior - since the rules allow it, I intend to give it a try."

She raised her head, and the dark circles under her eyes due to lack of sleep and irregular rest were unusually clear. "I have to tell them that I am number one."

This look made Ron and Harry give up immediately. As Hermione's friends, they knew very well that there was no way to stop Hermione like this.

"Okay, give it a try. We fully support you anyway."

Harry nodded, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice, "But your fighting skills are too poor. You know, Hermione, you rarely participate in fights."

"You'll help me adjust, right, Harry?"

Hermione stared at Harry the same way Harry had stared at Hermione's homework before.

"Of course I will."

Harry nodded seriously, "Before the selection results come out, you have to learn how to duel like a wizard."

"I'll help with the curses, too."

Ron added quickly, but in an uncertain tone - Hermione's spells were no worse than his.

"Well, thank you." Hermione nodded seriously, "Then treat it as a rush before the exam. I will submit my name on the last day. Although I don't know its selection criteria, we will still calculate it according to the status at the time of submission."
