Two days after the news brought by Fleur, news appeared in Hogwarts that the Potions Exchange Tournament was about to be re-organized.
On the bulletin board in the hall, in addition to posters for new recruits for the college Quidditch team, there are announcements for the Potions Exchange Tournament.
Each school has three places to participate in this exchange competition, and the total duration is one month.
The start time is the second Monday after New Year’s Day~.
The location is Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France.
For many students, they have heard the names of the other two magic academies in Europe, but none of them have been to one yet.
However, many Slytherins have said that their parents once wanted to send them to Durmstrang.
There is a treasure trove for learning black magic, and the academy only recruits pure-blood wizards.
However, their pure blood requirements are relatively low. As long as their father and mother are both wizards, they are considered pure blood.
But in the UK, the concept of pure blood has to be traced back at least five or six generations before it is willing to give up.
Suddenly, many students became interested.
You can start school a month later, and you can meet young wizards from other countries and schools. It is simply a free trip.
The library’s books about other magic schools were emptied out in almost a day.
It is said that the most complete book,”The History of the Development of Magic Schools,” has been scheduled for Christmas.
Of course, Wayne doesn’t have to compete with everyone for books.
The library he specially built contains almost all the books in the library.
As soon as get out of class was over, Cho and Hermione pulled him into the suitcase.
Next to the small lake, Hermione holds a thick book and reads information about Beauxbatons
“Beauxbatons is located in a valley on the southern side of the Pyrenees. It is a beautiful castle surrounded by gardens and fountains….”
“Most of the students come from France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and other countries, where students take O in sixth grade instead of fifth grade..W.L.level exam”
“In the very center of Beauxbatons Castle is a huge magic fountain. It is said that bathing or washing your face with the water of the magic fountain for a long time will make you more beautiful and younger….”
After reading the words, Hermione’s mood obviously increased.
“Ah~”
Wayne, who was lying on Qiu’s lap, opened his mouth, and the girl gently put the peeled grapes into his mouth.
“Wayne, is the magic fountain real?”
Qiu Cai asked after the boy finished eating.
No matter what grade a girl is, it is impossible to resist the temptation to become beautiful.
Hermione stopped reading and stared at the boy eagerly.
“It does have some effect.”
Before Wayne finished speaking, the two of them were breathing quickly.
“Don’t be anxious.”The boy moved his head to make himself lie down more comfortably.
Qiu was still too thin, and her slender legs were a bit awkward.
From this aspect alone, Hermione had the advantage, and Miss Know-It-All’s legs were not thick either. , but more meaty
“Nico told me that the magic spring water does have some effects, but it’s not much different from nothing. At most, it’s cleaner than other water and won’t harm the skin.”
“In fact, it is an alchemical product. If I want to, I can refine one myself.”
Wein said it very easily, and there was no exaggeration in it.
Others can’t understand that thing, but for him who has obtained the true biography of Nicolas Flamel, it is really simple.
“Wayne…”In a rare act of coquettishness, Hermione ran to Wayne and put his head on her lap.
“I don’t care if it’s a beauty or not, I just think the world is a bit monotonous.”
“One more nice-looking fountain would be a good thing, right?”
“puff!”
Both Wayne and Qiu laughed. It was the first time for both of them to see Hermione being so dishonest.
“Oops, stop laughing, just promise me now.”
Hermione was really anxious. She even ignored Qiu’s presence and gave Wayne a slap in the face. You must know that she and Wayne had always posted in private before, and this was the first time they had done it in front of him. Don’t blame Hermione.
Min is more anxious than Qiu. It is true that the disadvantages of human race cannot be changed.
Now everyone is still young, and the skin is of course delicate, smooth and full of vitality.
But she has read many reports that white people age faster than yellow people. In their twenties and thirties, there is a risk of enlarged pores and rough skin.
She doesn’t want to turn into a yellow-faced woman in the future, and Wayne doesn’t even want to look at her.
I don’t understand why Hermione is so anxious and Wayne looks at her like this Shang Xin also agreed directly.
“I remember that Nico has some semi-finished products. I can just take them back and modify them when the time comes. Hermione cheered and threw herself into Wayne’s arms.
Qiu rolled her eyes at the two of them, pinched Wayne secretly, and then asked:
“Besides you, who are the other two players?”
“I do not know either. Wayne rubbed his waist carelessly:”It’s the same for everyone, just making up the numbers.””
In the principal’s office, Snape and Dumbledore are also discussing the issue of quotas.
“Severus, do you have any students you would recommend?”
Dumbledore asked. In the potions exchange competition, we naturally need to listen to the opinions of the professor.
“One Lawrence, anyone else will do.”Snape said the same thing as Wayne.
For people who have reached a certain height in a certain field, others may become monkeys.
There are good students in the school, but good monkeys are still monkeys. He I can’t see any difference.
Hearing that Snape didn’t take it seriously, Dumbledore was also slightly silent.
The truth is this…
But sometimes it is also important to do things procedurally.
Selected contestants need to convince others.
After stating his request, Snape clearly showed an impatient look.
“Then let those who want to participate sign up and have a competition first”
“Those below the fifth grade should not join in the fun. They haven’t even entered the advanced classes. Don’t waste my materials.”
Dumbledore nodded and approved his method.
The next day, Dumbledore announced the rules of the selection competition in the auditorium. Almost all the students in the fifth and sixth grade who were selected for the potions improvement class signed up. The so-called improvement class, In fact, it is a threshold set by the professor.
After passing the OWLs exam, if you want to further study a certain course, you must meet the standard in terms of grades.
The minimum requirement for the Potions class is E, and the two grades combined can reach this level. There are less than fifty people.
The requirements of other professors are also different.
Many students have become more relaxed in the fifth and sixth grades.
For example, Twoley, he only took herbal medicine, spells, and Defense Against the Dark Arts as electives. What he wants to do in the future To become a professional Quidditch player, it depends on your flying skills, not your magic level.
The reason why you choose Defense Against the Dark Arts is because you have to change professors every year, so you don’t have to do any summer homework.
That night, all the students who signed up came Arriving at the Potions classroom.
Wayne was teasing Astoria in the Great Hall, when a Slytherin ran over.
“Lawrence, Professor Snape has asked you to come over.”
The talking snake didn’t dare to move forward when it was ten meters away from Wayne.
“What does he want from me?”Wayne, who was bullying the little Lolita, raised his head in surprise.
“I do not know either.”The Slytherin who sent the message quickly shook his head:”The professor didn’t say anything.”
“Go ahead, the professor will be unhappy and will deduct points from you soon.”
Astoria quickly persuaded as if she had been pardoned.
Just now, Wayne asked her to make various embarrassing expressions. The little girl almost cried, but she did not dare to resist.
The more delicate and pitiful she became, Wayne became more and more excited
“What are you afraid of? No matter how much he deducts, the righteous Professor Lockhart will add it back.”
Wayne curled his lips, but went anyway.
“Professor, you are looking for me.”
Knocking on the door meaningfully, Wayne walked in.
Snape glanced at him and said nothing, but announced to the students sitting in front of the crucible:
“The scintillation potion was refined within two hours, and the two people with the best quality won the competition rules.”
Some students asked in confusion:”Professor, why are the top two?”
“Aren’t there three places this time?”
“Lawrence is the third.”After Snape finished speaking, he waved the wand in his hand, and the materials for brewing the scintillation potion flew in front of everyone.
Wow~!
When they heard that Wayne had directly reserved a quota, everyone looked at Wayne and Snape in shock. Snape.
Many students were even more angry.
There was an uproar in the classroom, and Wei’s ears were sharp. He had already heard Percy curse Snape in a low voice.
According to the routine, at this time it was definitely a good time to stand up and pretend to be a slap in the face. The timing.
But Wayne has no such idea at all.
The level is too low and there is no point in pretending.
“Quiet!”(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Snape said coldly, and his powerful aura instantly suppressed everyone. The students did not dare to speak, but still looked at him, waiting for an explanation.
“If it weren’t for the fact that we had to bring 2 people with us for this competition, you wouldn’t have to show up here today, wasting my precious time.”
When it comes to venomous tongues, no one in this school can compare to Snape. At this moment, he is also firing on all cylinders and shows no mercy to these outstanding students.
“What dignity do you have compared to Lawrence?”
“If anyone can publish a signature, no, a paper with your name in the internal journal of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, I can give him a quota.”
“But with your troll brains, I shouldn’t expect too much”
“Society of Extraordinary Pharmacists? This is impossible!”A girl lost her voice and said
“Miss Bell, this is what you call impossible.”
A magazine flew out from the bookshelf in the classroom, landed in front of the girl, and quickly flipped to the middle.
《The first author of”On the Improvement Direction and Specific Measures of Werewolf Potion” is surprisingly Wayne Lawrence
“Do you understand the gap between you now?”
The surrounding students came over to look at the magazine with mixed expressions.
No one dared to raise objections now.
“What did you call me for?”Ven ignored them and asked Snape in a low voice.[]
“I still have things to do. You will be responsible for the assessment and give me the list when the time comes.”
0 Ask for flowers.
Snape glanced at him, and after saying that, he picked up the books on the table and walked out of the classroom.
Wayne and a group of students stared at each other.
This is a man who has been caught.
“Start quickly, it must be over within an hour and a half.”Ven depressedly changed Snape’s request.
“Wayne, didn’t the professor just talk for two hours?”A Hufflepuff senior couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m in a hurry and can’t finish it in an hour and a half, so there’s no point in giving me an extra half hour. Wayne looked at everyone encouragingly:”Come on, I believe in you.””
Everyone:”……”
What can they do? Snape has given all the power to Wayne. Even if he wants to resist, no one will probably care.
After an hour and a half, Wayne stopped everyone and started checking.
He walked off the stage and turned around.
Of the forty-four people, only thirty completed the scintillation potion.
Among them, another 20 people were found to be unqualified.
The perfect sparkling potion should be fluorescent silver, like flowing mercury, and very viscous.
The twenty people who failed were not even silver, so they passed directly.
Among the remaining ten people, according to the thickness and uniformity of the fluorescence, he was six.
Finally there were four students left.
Exactly one for each college
“Miss Bell, you are eliminated.”
Wayne announced after looking at it for a moment.
“Why?”The Ravenclaw girl named Bell didn’t dare to explode, but asked carefully:
“It seems that our completion levels should be about the same, right?”
“I just put the hollow lotus seeds in for later.”Wein pointed out her problem:”Your medicine has too many bubbles, and the effect of the medicine has not been fully exerted, and it cannot reach good quality.”
Bell thought about it for a moment, and it was exactly what Wayne said.
Her hollow lotus seeds were released for a minute.
“I see.”Bell said regretfully, convinced.
Several other students looked at Wayne with admiration.
Just by observing the status of the potion, you can tell which step made a mistake.
This level is too high.
“Russell, Henderson, it’s just you two.”
In the end, Wayne determined the place.
Henderson was the batter of Hufflepuff, and Russell was the man of Slytherin.
Gryffindor’s only hope, Percy, was lost in this way.
“Don’t look at me if you feel dissatisfied. Go back and try the medicine yourself. Yours is worse than the other two.”
Before Percy could open his mouth, Wayne blocked him.
Percy’s nose turned red with anger, he filled the bottle with the medicine for three people and left the classroom angrily.
Russell’s face burst into laughter.
Fortunately, he didn’t embarrass Slytherin, otherwise Professor Snape would definitely vent his anger on them when he saw that there were no students from his own college in the two places.
Wayne compared the final place with Snape Pu said and hurried to Ravenclaw’s tower.
I have a date with Senior Penello tonight…. the next day.
When the quotas were announced, Slytherin’s Hufflepuffs were proud, especially Hufflepuff, who actually occupied two quotas.
Did you see that they are the top academic academy?
At the same time, word spread that Wayne published an article in the internal journal of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists.
This made everyone sigh again, why is the gap so big even though they are all students?
And in the evening, Professor McGonagall happily awarded Hufflepuff twenty points in recognition of Vane’s article published in”Transfiguration Today”.
The students were completely numb.
Especially the talented students who participated in today’s Transfiguration. After reading Venn’s article, they had only one feeling in their hearts. stupid.
It looked so confusing and completely inconsistent with the concepts taught by Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall also explained:”Mr. Lawrence did not write it for you beginners, but for me and a group of scholars’ professional papers.”
“When we can achieve six-fold transformation, or large-scale group transformation, we will be able to understand a little bit more.”
Hearing this request, the geniuses who used to be proud of being able to join the Transfiguration Club fell into autistic state.
With the help of these two articles, Venn completely established his reputation in the academic world.
In the following period, Every day, a large number of owls bring letters from scholars from all over the world.
There is no priority in learning, and those who are masters are teachers. Scholars are often the purer group of people and do not care about the gap in age and status.
They see Wien’s articles are full of useful information.
I have already developed a sense of recognition.
Many letters come to ask for more specific details and my own doubts when reading. Wien will spend a lot of time every day to reply..
This is how Dumbledore became famous back then, but it was much later than Wayne.
Just like that, before you knew it, a month had passed since the start of school….
In the dormitory, Wayne was writing furiously in Riddle’s diary….superior..
