Chapter 593 You’re Late, Professor McGonagall!
This surprised Dumbledore. He had seen the age line on the ground when he was in the auditorium, and there was no sign of it being cracked, so he was very curious about how Ivan successfully signed up for the competition...
But doubts remained doubts, and Dumbledore had no intention of questioning them in public. After urging George and Fred to go to the school hospital for treatment as soon as possible, he left the hall directly.
After receiving the warning, the Weasley brothers did not dare to show any signs of neglect. They helped each other to the infirmary with a grimace on their faces.
Ivan comforted them with a few words, then crossed the threshold and entered the auditorium.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were already sitting at the long Gryffindor table, enjoying today's breakfast while chatting about the Triwizard Tournament.
When they saw Ivan walking in from the door, several people hurriedly waved and greeted him.
"Ivan, this way!"
Ivan, who was already hungry, quickly stepped forward and sat on the empty seat specially reserved for him next to Hermione. He picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked about the registration status of the contestants in the morning.
"Students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have already arrived, and I just saw Cedric of Hufflepuff put his name in!" Harry said.
Ron on the side also added. "In Gryffindor, only Angelina signed up all morning. George and Fred tried to fool her with age-enhancing drugs, but unfortunately they failed in the end..."
Ivan nodded. It seemed that the method of signing up for the competition was not leaked. The senior who happened to meet him last night was very trustworthy.
"I've told you a long time ago that these little tricks can't affect the magic arranged by Professor Dumbledore..." Hermione took the opportunity to preach, trying to dispel their thoughts of becoming warriors.
Harry and Ron couldn't listen at all. After a few perfunctory responses, they turned the topic to Ivan.
They were curious about why Ivan got up so late today. They couldn't wake them up no matter how they screamed in the morning...
"Isn't today a Saturday off? You have to let me sleep more!" Ivan yawned and replied casually.
Hermione looked at Ivan suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she asked coldly. "You couldn't have come here secretly last night to decipher Professor Dumbledore's age line, right?"
Harry and Ron immediately realized this possibility and stared at Ivan.
Ivan hesitated for a moment, wanting to find a reason to fool him, but thinking that his name would definitely be read during the banquet later, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, he could only speak vaguely.
"You can also say that!"
"Oh my God, you didn't call us for such an important thing!" Ron came forward excitedly and continued to ask excitedly. "What happened in the end? Was it successful?"
Ivan didn't know whether to answer or not. Although Harry and others' registration for the competition would not have any impact on him, there were so many young wizards paying attention to the Goblet of Fire during the day that it was almost impossible to avoid the sight of others. .
Telling Ron and Harry means the whole school knows...
Just when Ivan had a headache, Professor McGonagall walked in from the other side of the hall and waved to him.
"Hals! Come with me..."
"Sorry, Ron, I have to go first. Professor McGonagall is looking for me! I'll tell you when I get back..." Ivan seemed to have seen a savior, and he took two bites of the dessert and ran away. .
Harry and Ron, who stayed behind, looked at each other, feeling more and more that Ivan had found a way to break the age limit.
Hermione rolled her eyes at them, "That's impossible. Professor Dumbledore said that no one can cross that age line!"
…
At the same time, Mag took Ivan to avoid the lively auditorium and walked towards the deserted tower.
Along the way, Mag explained to Ivan the principle of releasing restricted magic from time to time.
"The age line set by Albus is also a type of restricted magic. It is difficult to crack it head-on with your current level of magic, but it is not without tricks!
As long as you find the magic node and destroy it, you can make it temporarily ineffective. "
Mag talked eloquently and gave Ivan an analysis.
This magic node was naturally set aside by Dumbledore specifically to make it easier for Ivan to crack it!
However, Mag did not tell the specific location of the node, but planned to use it as a test for Ivan to find it on his own.
Having said this, Mag took out a pocket watch from the pocket of the wizard's robe, opened it and took a look. "It's ten-thirty in the morning, and you have almost eight hours to find it before the dinner party starts!"
"Hals, I've told you how to cross the age line. Whether you can do it or not depends on your own efforts!" Mag said with a smile.
"Professor, you should have told me earlier!" Ivan looked very strange.
"I think it's not too late now, isn't it?" Mag mistakenly thought that Ivan was worried about not having enough time, so he said comfortingly. "You have to have confidence in yourself, Hals. With your ability, eight hours is enough to find that magic node..."
"No, Professor! What I mean is... I put my name into the Goblet of Fire last night!" Ivan spread his hands, his face full of innocence, but his words clearly revealed a meaning. ——You're late, Professor!
"What? You signed up for the competition last night?" Professor McGonagall stopped walking and looked at Ivan in shock.
Ivan didn't intend to hide it, so he directly stated the method he used.
After listening to this, the corners of McGonagall's mouth twitched involuntarily. She did not expect that Ivan would use such a "special" method to bypass the age line set by Dumbledore.
Thinking of what she said just now, Mag felt even more embarrassed. After a while, she shook her head with a wry smile and said with emotion.
"Looks like I've been worrying for nothing, Hals!"
"Professor, this method came to me unexpectedly, otherwise I would have had to ask you for help..."
Ivan will not feel complacent just because he put his name into the Goblet of Fire in advance. He understands that Mag just said so much to help him.
Although he said it a little late and had no effect, Ivan still understood it.
After explaining this little misunderstanding clearly, Ivan had no intention of returning to the auditorium. He didn't want to be questioned by Ron and others after he went back, so he and Professor McGonagall simply used the transformation spell to decorate the castle in order to welcome Halloween in the evening. banquet……
It was not until evening, thinking that the banquet was about to begin, that Ivan slowly walked towards the auditorium.
