Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 949: Unreasonable
"It's almost time, we should go to the Quidditch pitch." Dumbledore closed his pocket watch and beckoned Albert to come downstairs.
Along the way, they didn't speak again, nor did they meet Harry Potter on the way.
The two walked through the foyer, melted into the cloudy night, and walked down the pitch-black lawn towards the Quidditch pitch. At the entrance to the Quidditch pitch, I met Hermione and Ron, who apparently accompanied Harry.
"Good evening."
Albert greeted the two with a smile.
"We came with Harry, it's not very safe at night." Hermione said quickly, not knowing whether to tell Albert or explain to Dumbledore.
"See you later."
After entering the Quidditch pitch, Albert found that the place had changed. The pitch was no longer flat and smooth. Hagrid had built countless long low walls here. It twists and turns in all directions.
Albert thinks he should take a few pictures ahead of time to study the maze map.
"Good evening!"
A voice rang out on the field.
Amelia Burns walks this way with Krum, Fleur, and Harry.
"Good evening, Amelia."
Dumbledore greeted the other party, and after noticing Harry's hesitant expression, he explained with a smile, "When the Triwizard Tournament is over, the Quidditch pitch will return to its original state! Well, I miss you all. Guess what we're here for?"
No one spoke for a while, and everyone looked at Albert.
"The third item is the labyrinth," Albert said.
"That's right!" Dumbledore explained happily, "The content of the third item is very simple, we will put the Triwizard Tournament trophy in the center of the maze, whichever warrior touches it first, You'll get full marks."
"We just have to go through the maze?" Fleur clearly didn't think the third project would be that easy.
"There will be many obstacles in the labyrinth," said Dumbledore. "Hagrid has provided a large number of magical animals, and there are still some spells to be lifted. The third project mainly tests your strength, wisdom, courage and courage. The Warriors who lead in scoring are the first to enter the maze."
"I can understand that the first warrior to win the Triwizard Tournament trophy will win the Triwizard Tournament?" Albert asked suddenly.
"Yes, that's it." Dumbledore nodded. "Any other questions?"
"What advantage does the warrior who is the first to enter the maze have?" Albert felt that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament were very strange in his last life, and now he can finally take it out and complain.
"Advantage?"
"Yeah, the advantage, shouldn't it just enter the maze a few seconds before the other warriors." The expression on Albert's face became more and more weird, "Or can the warrior with the leading score gain a clear time advantage?"
"There is no time advantage." Dumbledore obviously realized the problem, but still said, "The difference between the warriors entering the maze is not big."
"The rules of the Triwizard Tournament are really not that bad!" Hearing Albert's complaints, everyone turned their heads and stared at him?
"Do you have any questions, Mr. Anderson?" Amelia Burns raised her eyebrows and looked at Albert.
"This means that both games across the board will be meaningless." Albert directly pointed out the problem with the Triwizard Tournament.
"How can it be pointless."
"Does it really make sense for the leading Warriors to go first in the maze in order of points? Can they have a huge advantage?" Albert shook his head, "No, let alone a few seconds ahead, even a minute's worth of lead is worth it. Not much, the third project directly rejected the meaning of the first two games, and rejected all the efforts of the Warriors.”
"If you fail in the first two games, but win the trophy in the maze in the third game, what's the point of winning the championship?"
Everyone was stunned and looked strangely at Albert, who had scored full marks in the first two games. They didn't think that Albert was complaining because the third item had lost all his advantages.
"Don't look at me like that, even if I start ten minutes later than you guys, I still have the confidence to win the championship." Albert curled his lips and said, "I have participated in many kinds of competitions, and the mechanism of the Triwizard Tournament is the worst. , I can't even do relative fairness, I really don't know if it's been so bad in previous generations or this one is so bad."
"Have a big problem?"
Harry didn't really see it, he didn't really care, and he didn't think Albert cared, this tone was just ranting about something.
"The warrior who won the trophy in the third event gets full points, the others get no points, right, and the result of the game is the sum of all the points, right?" Albert asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, it is." Dumbledore nodded.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing to fail to win the championship if you won the trophy?" Albert said with an increasingly eccentric expression, "So the others in the third project will have no points to ensure that The warrior who wins the trophy wins the championship, but in this way, it becomes the championship when the trophy is obtained, and the first two projects completely lose the meaning of existence.”
"Mr. Anderson, what do you think?" Amelia Burns also realized the problem.
"It's not a high opinion, I just want to remind you that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament should be changed. Even the Magic School Potions Championship, which has been criticized by countless people, does not have this problem, even if it can't be done. Complete fairness, or at least relative fairness, is important," Albert cautioned, "and it's not that hard to do."
Perhaps this would have been more convincing if it hadn't been for Albert's perfect score in the first two races.
As long as you still have a little brain, you can hear the problem. However, Albert's powerful crushing strength allows all warriors to keep their heads clear, and there is no feeling of envy and jealousy.
Envy and jealousy, that's based on everyone being on the same level.
The practice of winning the championship after winning the third victory is simply throwing the first two items under your feet and stepping on them, and also throwing the faces of all the warriors on the ground and stepping on them.
It's just that no one cared about the results, so no one noticed that there was a big problem with the Triwizard Tournament.
"It's been a long time since the Triwizard Tournament was held, and there will inevitably be some oversights and problems during the period." Dumbledore smiled and looked at Albert, "However, I think it shouldn't make much difference to you."
"I don't mind, just mention it, lest the next Triwizard Tournament will be so bad, although I don't know if there will be another one."
Albert's gaze glanced at the quest panel, and the quest that triggered the Triwizard Tournament rules issue had been completed.
For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly had a strange feeling.
This is a warning.
Yes, warning.
Albert obviously doesn't deliberately pick things up, and even if he knows there is a problem with the rules of the Triwizard Tournament, he will probably only remind him privately.
However, Albert said it directly now, and the conversation in the office made him feel more and more that this was a warning.
If Albert knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would have complained: You think too much.
He is just doing a task, and the experience reward is not much, but it is not too little.
As for the warning?
Albert really doesn't know.
What he didn't know, however, was that Dumbledore had a feeling that something terrible might have happened if Albert really died in the third project.
In fact, Dumbledore's intuition was right.
Albert was indeed well prepared, even considering his unfortunate death in the labyrinth.
If you die unfortunately, you will recklessly overturn the chessboard and put it on everyone's head, and then all the secrets will be exposed. Don't think about it. I believe that the entire magic world will definitely put on a wonderful show.
Anyway, when the time comes, he will be dead, and other family members will make arrangements.
No matter how messed up the wizarding world is, he doesn't care.
"If there are no other problems, then go back. It is very late. Be careful on the way back." Dumbledore said with a smile.
As everyone left the Quidditch pitch, Amelia Burns quietly walked up to Albert and said in a low voice, "May I have a few words with you?"
"No problem." Albert nodded.
"Someone suggested that I come to you, and they said you made a prophecy!" Amelia Burns didn't forget the purpose of the trip, and said straight to the point.
Honestly, Amelia Burns can't actually be used. After all, it is only a temporary referee. Even if he wants to come, it should be the new director of the Department of Magic and Sports, but the director who just took office was temporarily transferred, and he is still cleaning up Ludo Bagman after running away. The mess that came down.
The director of the Department of Magic and Sports is mostly a Quidditch player. If nothing else, Ludo Bagman will stay in this position for at least a few years, and his successor will be It was cultivated, but that guy gave everyone a pit.
That's why Amelia Burns, the head of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, took time out to make the Triwizard Tournament look fair.
"What do you want from me?" Albert asked.
"That prophecy, they say you're a very good prophecy master," said Amelia Burns.
"People like you definitely don't believe this kind of nonsense." Albert knew that the other party didn't fully believe it, and he probably came here just to try his luck.
After all, seeing is believing.
"No, I believe it," Amelia Burns said earnestly, "I want to know the truth."
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, just like the prophecy you heard, the mysterious man will make a comeback soon." Albert stopped and asked Burns, "You didn't go to other famous divinations. Home? At least more reliable than me, an undergrad wizard."
"If you're not reliable, then who is? Mr. Anderson, don't underestimate yourself." Amelia Burns said softly: "Many fortune-tellers are not reliable. Not many people are born with the power of prophecy."
"Cassandra Wabraski." Albert said without hesitation: "The author of "Punching the Fog and Seeing the Future" should be able to give you the answer. I remember she should not be dead."
"She's too old to give divination anymore." Amelia Burns was considering the possibility of visiting Cassandra Wabraski, and the two sides had no friendship at all. And Cassandra Vabraski has long since stopped divination. "
"The Centaurs thought the wizarding world was just passing through a brief period of peace between the two wars, and I read through the crystal ball the Daily Prophet's report on My-Know-Who's comeback." Albert Telling Amelia Burns about her divination skills, "I can only predict the future through a crystal ball. What I see isn't necessarily true, but at least I see it."
Having said that, Albert took out a bag from his pocket, took out a small crystal ball from it, and handed it to Burns. There was a report on Voldemort on the crystal ball.
"You won't catch me suddenly!" Albert said suddenly.
Amelia Burns glanced at the bag in Albert's hand that had been cast with the Unmarked Stretch Charm, but didn't care, but returned the crystal ball to Albert and said, "It seems that you I know why I came to you."
"I know something." Albert said suddenly, "but..."
"But what?" Burns asked.
"You can die."
"You foretold my death?" Amelia Burns turned ugly, but quickly returned to normal.
"You may think so."
"Who killed me?" Burns asked.
"The one who killed you should be the mysterious man. They won't allow you to take Fudge's place. I heard that you have a grudge against the mysterious man," Albert reminded.
More than hatred, the Burns family is one of the most powerful families.
Now the whole family is starting to feel lonely~IndoMTL.com~ completely thanks to Voldemort and Death Eaters, which is why she came to Albert in a hurry today.
"Thank you for your warning."
Borns didn't quite believe it, but she was wary, because she did have a deep feud with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
"Gambling is not a good habit, and you usually lose miserably." Albert reminded, "If you have a deep hatred like you, I suggest avoiding it for a few years. Good luck!"
"You mean..."
Amelia Burns watched Albert leave, and she noticed that Albert used "you".
She is alone, and the rest of her family died in the last wizarding war. By "you" she should mean her and her relatives.
Does this mean she and her relatives will be in danger?
Whether the prophecy is accurate or not will soon be known.
Albert actually never cared about whether Amelia Burns would die or what would happen to the Burns family. After all, they were just strangers. They just sold each other a little favor, and they didn't suffer anyway. .
Cast a wide net and catch more fish.
She was a strong woman. It was impossible for her to give up her career and hide after listening to Albert's reminder, so she would probably die.
Even if Amelia Burns ends up being Minister of Magic, 80% of the time she's going to die. Who made her hate Voldemort and the Death Eaters too much.
