Mentor and Friends

It is said that the competition in the last Triwizard Tournament was very fierce. In the semester before the start of the competition, those who felt that they were qualified were trying their best to make up for their subjects.

It can be said that the final grades of the semester before the start of the Triwizard Tournament will generally increase.

But today is different.

The players for this year's Triwizard Tournament have almost been decided by default.

Yes, by default.

Nothing more than a few people, Tom Riddle in Slytherin, Abraxas Malfoy, Moody Alastor from Gryffindor, Minerva McGonagall and Ravenclaw Alice Janney.

This is the most outstanding student who is qualified to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. They are almost all the favorites of the professor. As long as they sign up, the others are almost hopeless.

And smarter people are able to conduct a deeper analysis.

McGonagall is specialized in Transfiguration. Although other subjects are not lower than A, they don't perform very well. Jenny is outstanding in History of Magic and Herbal Medicine, but Defense Against the Dark Arts is a flaw in all her subjects. It was clear that her Defense Against the Dark Arts lagged behind other subjects.

Malfoy performed very well in all subjects, but he was a little behind in herbal medicine class. Tom once joked that Abraxas would not go near the greenhouse in order to maintain his perfect image, and would touch it a few times in every class Herbs just check to see if there is any mud splashed on their bodies. It is strange to learn well in such a situation.

And this passage, later spread out, became a joke when Abraxas's friends made fun of him.

After excluding these three people, everyone can probably see that the only ones who can hope to compete for the Triwizard Tournament are Moody and Riddle.

They are all enthusiastically guessing who will get the final spot.

Because the players of this Triwizard Tournament are almost all known by default, so the phenomenon of desperately trying to make up for it in the past has never happened, which also caused Harry to stay here for a year last semester. But still didn't notice it.

After the Triwizard Tournament was announced at the opening banquet, Hogwarts became lively.

"It turned out that the two of us didn't know that the Triwizard Tournament was already being prepared." Ron sighed as he looked at the obviously busy Hogwarts.

"Obviously so." Harry shook his head and smiled lightly, "It seems that for the sake of fairness, the schedule of the Triwizard Tournament is jointly discussed by the Ministry of Magic of the three countries, and newspapers cannot report the daily progress. Officials involved in the discussion We made an oath, but we have done a good job of keeping secrets."

"It's better than when we were," Ron sighed. "I remember when Hagrid took you to see dragons."

"You should be thankful that I had too many loopholes in the Triwizard Tournament at that time." Harry shook his head. Hogwarts is busy these days, and even the students are trying to catch up on some knowledge about Germany and France. The Triwizard Tournament was held in Germany—the headmaster has issued repeated orders that Hogwarts must not be disgraced. On the contrary, he and Ron are too idle because they can't find a job, "Otherwise, the two of us There was no chance of reconciliation."

Thinking of their quarrel in fourth grade, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"Harry..." Ron poked Harry suddenly, "What's going on over there?"

"Huh?" Harry turned his head to look in the direction Ron pointed, and there were several girls surrounded by a person. Harry couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but it was obviously a provocative incident.

As professors, no matter which college they belong to, they have to take care of them.

So Harry and Ron stood up and ran over there.

After running closer, I realized something was wrong.

Those were a few first-grade girls, and the one trapped inside was Irene.

When running over, I vaguely heard the screaming warnings from a few girls, as if to tell Irene not to like to show off too much, saying that even though Prince is a big family, it's not like no one would dare to mess with him. She also pointed out Irene's status in the family in a disguised form, which probably wouldn't attract her family's attention.

Harry couldn't help but be surprised as he slowly approached. These children were wearing Slytherin robes, but it was obvious that they were acting in a way that even a Gryffindor could not help frowning.

This is really stupid.

Are the first-year freshmen this year so arrogant?

Aren't Slytherin students supposed to bear it and bite you back when you don't pay attention, even if you are bitten, you can only knock down your teeth and swallow your blood?

What's going on now?

Where did this group of guys with no IQ come from who would rather throw out the Sorting Hat than put it in Gryffindor even if only the so-called "courage" is left?

"You'd better remember who you are," the leading girl looked at him with a gloomy face, and Harry's heart skipped a beat. These people didn't look right, "otherwise I'll let you get out of Hogwarts."

"I think it's up to the headmaster to decide whether or not to 'get out' of Hogwarts." Harry said gloomily behind her.

The girls were obviously frightened, they didn't expect that there would be someone in such a remote place, and they were even professors.

"Professor, we..." Their eyes flickered and they didn't know what to say. At this time, they could see their so-called "reservedness".

"Ron, you take them to Professor Slughorn, you have to send them yourself." Harry said expressionlessly.

Ron nodded. He knew Harry's intentions, and his colleagues who sent these girls to Slughorn should also remember to check the information of these girls.

Although the girls were a little timid, they could only follow Ron.

And Harry squatted down in front of Irene.

Irene's face was expressionless, and she didn't show much emotion when seeing Harry who rescued her.

"Why don't you resist?" Harry asked softly, "There is no one else here, and that's why they bully you, but this is also an excellent time for you to resist." Because, no one will see you treat them What have you done.

Irene looked at Harry as keenly as Harry, and could vaguely see the vigilance in Irene's eyes.

A sensitive and vigilant child.

Harry finally came to a conclusion.

He suddenly remembered what those people said just now, to let Irene recognize her position in the Prince family, saying that even if they did something to Irene, the Prince family would not do anything for Irene.

Is it because it's a girl?Harry frowned slightly. As far as he knew, the Prince family had a huge family. Because of their excellent talents in the field of potions, they could always understand how to regulate their bodies—unless they were in magic potions. The medicine has gone astray - so under the premise of ensuring that the children will not be eroded by the potion, they can always recuperate their bodies. The Prince family is currently the family with the largest number of people among all pure-blood families.

Therefore, their patriarch's inheritance method is not based on the patriarch's children, but according to everyone's achievements in potions.

Irene is a girl, destined to marry off in the future, and the possibility of inheriting the Prince family in the future is so small that that chance will not appear unless she is the only one left in the whole family.

Therefore, the Prince family will not put too much energy on her, even though she is the only daughter of the owner.

However, this shouldn't make Irene such a silent and vigilant character.

"Irene?" Harry called the little girl softly. On her body, he seemed to see the 15-year-old boy again, with the same gloomy expression, the same silence, and the same in the face of all the bullying. Not even a word or a deed.

Could it be that Snape's silent character is just like Irene's?

"Sometimes," Irene suddenly spoke while Harry was in deep thought. To Harry's surprise, Irene's voice was not as gloomy as she appeared on the surface, but had a crisp, cheerful tone. "If you want to resist, you don't have to do it in person." She stared into Harry's eyes and said word by word.

Harry looked at her for a while, and he saw a kind of tenacity in the girl's eyes.

This girl may be silent, but she is not so submissive.

"Heh..." Harry chuckled, with a little bitterness in his eyes.

Irene seems to simply not like to socialize, but she has not fallen behind in the means that nobles should know.

She knows what she should do and how she should do it.

If Erin hadn't fallen in love with that person in the end...

He looked at the little girl, not sure if he should stop Irene's path after seven years, but after thinking about it, he finally rejected his idea.

He didn't want to deprive that person of his birth, even if the person who was truly benevolent to him was dead.

"Professor?" Irene looked at Harry like a monster, not understanding why this strange professor had such an expression.

"It's okay," Harry restrained himself, "I just thought of an acquaintance whose personality is very similar to yours."

"Does it mean the character of plotting people behind the scenes?" Irene smiled sarcastically. Such a smile appeared on her gloomy face, making Harry almost distracted again.

"Ah, no, that guy won't come in the dark, he will come in the open." Harry sighed, "Irene, just be yourself."

Irene looked at Harry. At the age of 11, she still didn't understand the meaning of Harry's words.

It wasn't until many years later, when her identity as a witch was exposed and her family was in crisis, that she panicked and depressed, that Harry appeared in front of her again and said these words to her, did she understand that the so-called good How difficult it is for myself.

In the evening, the news that Ron brought was far beyond Harry's expectation.

The few people who troubled Irene today were not from pure-blood families. Their families were just ordinary wizard families, but the forces behind them...

Harry stroked his wand, a gloomy look in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that there would be restlessness in Knockturn Alley..."

The author has something to say: Well... I don’t know if you like Irene like this, but this is my own description based on my little understanding when I read the article and a little bit of information I found. Irene who wrote it, Yueyue herself quite likes it, but I don’t know what you guys think~(≥▽≤)/~
