That morning, the decorations of the auditorium changed again.
Because it was Halloween, a large flock of live bats flew around the enchanted ceiling.
At the same time, there were hundreds of pumpkins carved into little people, squinting at everyone from every corner.
"I told you, they definitely won't succeed," Hermione said in a tone as if she had expected it.
When everyone came to the long table, Dean and Ximo were already sitting there.
They were talking about the Hogwarts students who were above the age of seventeen who might participate in the Championship.
"Someone said that Warrington got up early in the morning and put his name in," Dean told everyone. Dean told everyone, "It's that big guy from Slytherin. He looks like a sloth."
Harry, who had played Quidditch with Warrington, shook his head in disgust.
No one had a good impression of Warrington. The big guy was not popular at school.
"We can't let a Slytherin be the warrior!"
"That's right. That's obviously the worst result."
"Ravenclaw, like us, doesn't have any good candidates. Hufflepuff's classmates are all talking about Diggory," Ximo said contemptuously. Seamus said scornfully. "But I don't think he's willing to risk his good looks."
"This is another bad choice. After Percy and the others graduated, there are no outstanding people in Gryffindor's class." Ron sighed.
Dean and Ximo finished their breakfast and went back to the hall to watch. Only the five of them were left at the long table.
At the thought that the Hogwarts' warrior might be either Wollings or Diggory, everyone was in a bad mood.
"It's a pity that Elwyn is banned from participating. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a chance!" Corin said with a sigh.
"In my opinion, Fred and George are both stronger than Warrington and Diggory. As long as we can surpass Dumbledore's age limit, we have a lot of candidates!" Ron said indignantly. "There must be a way, it's just that we haven't found it yet. Elwyn …"
Hearing his words, the others also turned to look at Elwyn.
Indeed, if there was a small wizard who could break Dumbledore's magic, it would definitely be Elwyn.
"Don't look at Elwyn like that. How many times do I have to say that Dumbledore doesn't expect people who don't meet the age requirements to put their names in. The Hegemony Competition of the Three Strongest is no child's play. It is extremely dangerous and we don't have enough knowledge!" Hermione said sharply.
Ron immediately argued with her. He disagreed with what Hermione had said.
And most importantly, he believed that Warrington or Diggory could not be allowed to become the Hogwarts' warriors.
"Stop arguing, you two. It's actually very simple to put your names into the Goblet of Fire." Elwyn said, "I can tell the four of you, but you must keep it a secret and not leak it."
Ron and Hermione immediately shut up. Harry and Corin also held their breath and looked at Elwyn.
"Of course, we will keep it a secret!"
"Tell us!"
Hermione did not stop them. She seemed to be hesitating, and it seemed that she also wanted to know how to break the magic.
"Dumbledore's magic can't be broken at all. We are not strong enough!" Elwyn said, "But, do you remember what he said last night? He drew the age line that no one under the age of 17 can cross. He didn't say that we can't let other students who meet the requirements to put our names in. This is within the scope of the rules. So, we can ask students above the age of 17 to put their names in on our behalf. "
"What?!" Harry blinked and said in disbelief, "It's that simple?!"
"Yes, it's that simple." Elwyn nodded.
He had thought about it, and it was not a big deal to tell them the method.
With the strength of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Corin, even if they put their names in the Goblet of Fire, they would not be chosen.
In terms of magic power and mastery of knowledge, the four of them were still relatively weak.
Of course, Harry would become a warrior. His name should have been thrown into the Goblet of Fire by Barty Junior.
That should be the case.
After learning the method from Elwyn, Ron could not wait to try it.
Harry and Corin were hesitating, while Hermione was firmly against it.
She was persuading everyone to give up on the idea and not put their names in the Goblet of Fire.
Ron argued with her again. Going back to the previous topic, they could not let Slytherin's students become the warriors of the Hogwarts.
In fact, it was hard to guarantee.
Among the Gryffindor students who met the age requirements, there were no outstanding students.
Even if they put their names in the Goblet of Fire, they might not be chosen.
From Ron's point of view, if that was the case, he and Harry might as well give it a try.
After all, they had done so many amazing things in the past few years and proved their strength.
Perhaps the Goblet of Fire would know this.
The argument continued. Just then, there was a sudden loud cheer from the hall outside.
They turned around and saw Angelina Johnson walk into the hall, grinning a little embarrassedly.
She was a tall, dark-skinned girl who was a ball chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Angelina walked over to them and sat down. "Ah, I did it! I've put my name in! "
"You're kidding!" Ron said, looking very surprised.
"So, are you seventeen?"
"Of course. You didn't see a single mustache, did you?" Ron said.
"I had my birthday last week," Angelina said.
"I'm so happy that someone from Gryffindor is finally participating." Hermione said contentedly, looking at Ron proudly as if this had solved all the problems. "I sincerely hope that you succeed in becoming a warrior, Angelina!"
"Thank you!" Angelina said, smiling at Hermione.
Ron didn't seem to see Hermione's gaze. He suddenly said, "Angelina, can I trouble you?"
Harry hurriedly stopped him, and Hermione kicked him under the table.
"Trouble me with what?!" Angelina said, puzzled.
"Nothing!" Hermione said hurriedly, gesturing for everyone to leave.
They walked out of the hall to a deserted area.
"You're crazy, Ron!" Hermione said, looking at him angrily. "Elwyn just said not to tell anyone else about this, and in less than a minute, you're asking Angelina for help!"
