Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 707: Fair
Chapter 708 Fair
Although he and Kathleen are just ordinary friends, the slightly intimate behavior of the other party still makes Albert feel a little bad.
"Long time no see, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Albert gave Isobel a sneak peek, then cleaned up the expression on his face and greeted Kathleen with the tone of a friend.
"That's your girlfriend, she's prettier than expected."
Catherine looked at Isobel with scrutiny eyes, and laughed and joked, "However, you came to a competition, and you even brought a girlfriend with you, which is really enviable."
"How did you become the leader of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Albert tried to divert the topic, so as not to be led into the pit by the other party, asking him to answer the question of who is more beautiful.
"Grandpa has a good relationship with the headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he persuaded him to let me be the team leader. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm now a potions assistant at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Kai Sarin retracted her gaze from the arena and re-evaluated the unique young man in front of her. The opponent was more confident than before.
"Surprisingly, I thought you would..."
"Have to find something for myself, and I'm just getting a name in school right now," Catherine interrupted. She herself is very accomplished in potion, and her delicate appearance makes her very popular in school. Most importantly, she is a family member, so she naturally has no difficulty in certain things.
"You don't mind taking up your boyfriend's time a little bit!"
Catherine smiled kindly towards Isobel, who came over here, with a bit of ridicule in her tone.
"Don't mind, anyway, Albert will always have a bunch of beautiful female friends by his side, I'm used to it now." Isobel motioned Catherine to look at Beauxbatons' Miss Veela.
It is undeniable that just looking at her appearance, the girl who is suspected of having Veela blood is indeed more beautiful than the two.
"My gut tells me that she's not a good girl, maybe you should stay away from her." Kathleen gave Albert a quirky smile: "Don't step on the hapless Vaggardu student. Follow-up, although there is no evidence to show that, but I think even if the African continent is hotter, it will not burn people's heads in confusion."
"She's right, witches of Veela blood are very talented in charm magic, and most boys are hard to resist." Isobel agreed with Catherine.
The two of them didn't have the slightest impression of their beautiful girl, especially after the other party did that kind of shit, their sense of her was even worse.
Professor Slughorn is actually very curious about Catherine's identity, and even more curious about their relationship.
Having said that, this Mr. Anderson is really popular with girls.
"The game is almost over, don't you have to comfort your students?" Isobel's words meant driving people away.
Just now, a student from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was in the process of brewing the euphoria, adding the wrong ingredients and messing up the potion, and had no choice but to give up the competition.
Such cases are actually not uncommon here.
"He doesn't need my comfort."
Catherine doesn't really care about the outcome of this match, or she thinks that Albert is very likely to win the final championship and take the golden cauldron.
That man is amazing.
Catherine asked someone to investigate Albert, and she was in a rather delicate mood when she received a pile of magazines and books.
There are various indications that Albert has already left a lot of students participating in the competition in the field of potions. It is not difficult to see this from the competition just now, and even on the referee bench, there are The people he knew must know that Albert was still underage, but he had already been recognized by more than one potion master.
"How's the research on beauty agents going?" Kathleen lowered her voice and asked about her relationship, "Or, you've been in a relationship lately, so forget about it."
"There is no major breakthrough for the time being." Albert motioned for Isobel to explain the current progress to this guy.
"Essential oil extract?"
Catherine frowned slightly, as if thinking about the feasibility of this direction.
The whistle of the end of the game suddenly sounded, interrupting the chat among the three.
The pharmacists who were whispering in the referee's seat also all quieted down. They got down from the referee's seat one after another and began to check the finished jubilant agent prepared by the contestants. Some of them scooped up some with a spoon to observe the color, and even took a small sip to taste it carefully.
The contestants were all nervous, looking eagerly at the whispering judges, like prisoners waiting for the final judgment.
"86 points."
After some discussion, a referee held up a placard to announce the final score.
The red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry could not help but frown slightly, obviously not very satisfied with this score.
A table, the judges only select the best finished product for scoring.
Actually, doing this is unfair to some players, but that's what the rules of the game are now.
Yes.
They changed the rules of the Potions Tournament.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to meet today's situation.
Everyone is not blind, and it is natural to see that the quality of the finished products of the two Hogwarts school euphoria is very high, and even far exceeds the works of other schools.
This means one school will be squeezed out, which would be embarrassing. Because doing so is unfair to other schools.
Fortunately, according to the rules of the competition, the judges did not grade Isobel's work, so this embarrassment can be avoided.
As for Albert's euphoria, it naturally got a high score.
Even if a wizard wants to trouble him early, he cannot deny that Albert is the first to complete it, and the finished product is far better than the euphoria prepared by most of the players.
If such a finished product cannot get the first place, it means that the fairness of the referee is questioned.
Of course, the wizards who can serve as referees are a group of potion masters who are fairly disciplined. Naturally, no one will be biased. Give as many points as they should, otherwise they will become the laughing stock of everyone in the future.
As a result, Albert got a high score of 99 points, which directly made a lot of contestants gasp like a toad.
They all know that this is a score that cannot be shaken.
99 points are actually no different from full marks. It’s just that a referee deliberately deducted one point because he didn’t want the opponent to get full marks.
The second highest scorer was Guy Bernard of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
This guy has a high score of 94.
Albert is sure that this score is definitely inflated by the grandson of the president of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association.
Of course, it's undeniable that Guy Bernard displayed a high standard.
If there is no Albert, he is estimated to have a split in the first round, but unfortunately, he met Albert, and then suffered an inhuman and ruthless crush.
As for the Miss Veela, the level of potion shown is not bad. In fact, Alice is the normal level of the majority of players participating in the Potions Championship.
Unfortunately, I encountered a few cheating dogs, and they didn't even have the slightest resistance to resist, so they were directly leveled and ruthlessly eliminated.
The third place is the girl from Castrobusher, the one Albert talked to her about the "green hat" in the morning, and her euphoria was much worse than the two, scoring only 89 points.
The fourth place belongs to the red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is said to be of Scottish descent and has a hot temper. The guy is staring at Albert, and his heart is full of envy and jealousy.
's high score of 99 and the two beautiful girls around him made Albert draw a wave of hatred in front of other players.
The fifth place is a Sao Bao man from the magic house who wears gold-rimmed glasses and wears a golden long-distance running, and gets 85 points. The guy was accompanied by two girls, also secretly observing Albert, the competitor.
After all, 99 points is too dazzling, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the referee does not want to give full marks.
Sixth place is a blonde girl from Codos Dorez, with a slender figure and a sweet appearance. It's a pity that Meimei did not bless the potion, and only got 81 points.
The other party was looking at Albert curiously, and even greeted the three of them in a generous manner while facing the eyes of the two of them.
This beautiful Russian girl actually heard a few people's conversations just now and was interested in the youth potion they mentioned.
Well, pretty girls are interested in potions that keep them looking good.
Whoever makes the girls on their side age quickly.
Valeria naturally wants to keep her face, otherwise she will start to age in a few years.
However, in the eyes of others, this student from Codos Dorez was obviously attracted to Albert.
Hate +1
Hate +1
…
Seventh place was a chubby girl from Durmstrang College, a school famous for black magic that obviously did not have any advantage in potions, scoring 78 points.
The two hapless people who were infatuated with Miss Veela were ruthlessly abandoned by Miss Veela after they were simply out of the game.
No matter how you look at it, it's still the best quality like Albert, but unfortunately there are three beautiful girls over there, and they seem to be having a good time chatting, obviously nothing to do with her.
In the end, of course, it was Vagado's student, who barely managed to score a 68~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, his potion was barely qualified, and a group of potion masters even got together to discuss whether to make that tall of Waggardo students take part in the competition.
Honestly, putting him at No. 8 is a kind of pimple on Isobel, or a sarcasm to be fair.
With Isobel's level, she would definitely be in the top three, but she was just eliminated. In order to show fairness, each school must have rules for individual participation.
"That's fair!" Kathleen looked at Isobel and asked, "Will you be angry? You should have been in the top three."
"Not angry?"
“Why?”
"I won't win the championship anyway, so I'll just join in the fun by participating in the first round." Isobel said without hesitation.
"Oh, that's right, anyway, 80% of the champion belongs to this guy." Catherine suddenly understood that Isobel's mentality would be so good, if others would suffer such grievances.
Alas!
is fair to other schools, but not necessarily fair to the participating students.
