"Okay," said old Barty in a deep voice, "Guidance... yes... the first project..."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and walked into the circle of light from the fire. In the light of the fire, Lynn could see that old Barty's face looked very haggard at this moment. There were two deep shadows under his eyes, and his wrinkled skin was as white and transparent as paper. He was completely different from the man he was on the night of the Quidditch World Cup.
Old Barty looked at Lynn and the other three and said, "The first project is to test your courage, so we are not going to tell you what it is. The courage to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard... very important... The first project will be carried out on November 24th and will be completed in front of other students and the jury!"
"In completing the competition tasks, the champions may not ask for or accept any help from their teachers. The only weapon in the champion's hand when facing the first round of challenges is their own magic wand. After the first task is completed, they will not learn about the second task. Due to the high requirements and long duration of the competition, the champions will not take the annual examination."
Old Barty said this, and after announcing it, he turned his gaze to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took a step forward, winked at Lynn, and said, "According to Mr. Crouch, the champions who participated in the Triwizard Tournament do not need to take the annual exams, but Lynn, you can't. You are a fifth-year student this year and need to take the OWL exams organized by the Ministry of Magic, so you may have to work harder."
Lynn smiled and shook his head. With his level of magic, he would have no problem passing the practical test of the OWL exam perfectly, and he also remembered most of the theoretical knowledge by heart.
After all, in addition to the required courses, he chose an ancient runes course, and his knowledge of ancient runes was probably beyond the reach of even the professor of the ancient runes course.
After old Barty completed his so-called guidance, the champions were allowed to go back and rest.
After leaving the room, Lynn looked at Harry, who was walking behind him. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Take care of yourself, Harry."
Hearing this, Harry raised his head and looked into those dark red eyes. He seemed a little depressed: "Senior Lynn, do you think someone really wants me to die?"
Lynn said calmly, "Maybe there is, maybe not, Harry. Regardless of whether there is anyone who wants to harm you in the Triwizard Tournament, you must remain vigilant."
After saying that, Lynn headed towards the Slytherin common room.
Looking at Lynn's departing back, Harry nodded gently and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Thank you, Senior Lynn."
Harry didn't even know how he got back to the Gryffindor common room. He came to the Fat Lady in a trance and said the command dryly: "Nonsense."
The Fat Lady's portrait swung forward, allowing Harry to step into the Gryffindor common room.
When the door to the Gryffindor common room was opened, more than a dozen hands pulled Harry into the common room at the same time. All the little lions in the common room were cheering, some were whistling, some were shouting, and some were screaming and wanted to throw Harry up.
These Gryffindor lions were celebrating Harry becoming a champion. When Lynn became the champion of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they felt sorry that the champion was from Slytherin instead of Gryffindor.
But now, Harry, as the little lion of Gryffindor, has also become a champion of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which means that Gryffindor is no worse than Slytherin!
How could this not make them happy?
Looking at the little lions who surrounded him and kept stuffing food and butterbeer into his arms, Harry struggled and told them that he wanted to sleep, but no one cared about his thoughts. They surrounded Harry.
Harry glanced around the common room, hoping to find Hermione, Irina, and Ron, hoping to find a bit of sanity.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw Irina walking out of the door of the girls' dormitory. He quickly cast hopeful eyes towards Irina, hoping that Irina could save him from the sea of suffering.
At this moment, seeing Harry surrounded by the crowd, Irina frowned subconsciously.
As one of the planners of this plan, she knew too well how Harry's name was put into the Goblet of Fire. Harry, as her friend, was at the center of the vortex, but she couldn't tell him, which made Irina feel very conflicted.
And now, Harry was surrounded by people against his will again. As his friend, Irina naturally had to rescue Harry.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
Irina stepped forward and spoke loudly.
However, none of the little lions who were immersed in joy paid any attention to Irina; they continued to cheer and shout.
Seeing this, Irina put the magic wand against her throat and chanted a spell: "Sonorus!"
With the help of the voice-amplifying spell, her voice became much louder, and she said again: "Everyone stop, I have something to say."
Irina's voice was so deafening that even a picture frame several meters away shook.
However, despite the loud noise, except for a few people like Fred and George, everyone else was still immersed in what was happening in front of them and ignored Irina's words.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Irina suddenly became angry, and the ice power in her body began to circulate rapidly. She swung her right hand, and an ice-blue light flew out and landed at everyone's feet.
Then, endless ice surged wildly, and in the icy mist, an ice wall rose from the ground and connected to the ceiling of the Gryffindor common room, separating Harry from the other little lions around him.
The low temperature brought by the ice wall made the other little lions shiver constantly, and some of them even sneezed while shrinking their necks.
After seeing that Irina was angry, the little lions finally calmed down. They huddled together and looked at Irina at a loss.
"Ir...Irina, what's the matter?"
A shivering fourth-year lion asked.
Irina then removed the ice wall. She said helplessly, "Look at you guys. If you had behaved yourselves earlier, why would I have done this?! Although Harry has become a champion of Hogwarts School, don't be too happy. Harry, tell them, did you cast your name into the Goblet of Fire?"
As Irina finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Harry.
