Chapter 235: I? Pageboy?

The following month was uneventful, save for a few Slytherin students who abruptly dropped out.

This is very rare in the history of Hogwarts, and only some students will take the initiative to transfer.

In mid-September, many Ministry of Magic employees came to Hogwarts. They prevent students from entering the Quidditch pitch and most of the Forbidden Forest for construction.

To this end, the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest also ask the Centaurs to negotiate with Dumbledore on their behalf, claiming that this behavior has seriously affected their daily lives.

But after Dumbledore promised that the installations in the Forbidden Forest would be removed before Christmas, these magical creatures reluctantly agreed.

The students discussed daily what they would make of the Forbidden Forest and the Quidditch pitch. A curtain blocked the Quidditch pitch, and Ministry of Magic personnel guarded the Forbidden Forest.

The little wizards can only rely on their imagination to imagine the pictures inside.

Some say that they have changed the Quidditch pitch into a Colosseum, and the champions of the Triwizard Tournament will fight a dragon in it.

Some say that they tore down the Quidditch pitch.

The only person who knows is Alvin. He was very strict and did not disclose any information.

One day, when Alvin and Luna were about to go to the Great Hall for dinner, they found they could no longer move forward. A large group of students crowded around a big bulletin board at the foot of the Grand Staircase. The students standing in the front read the bulletin board aloud.

"Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive on the evening of Friday, October 14th, with the afternoon session ending half an hour earlier. Also, due to the distance, Ilvermorny School will arrive on the evening of the 17th."

This announcement greatly impacted the whole school, and everyone's topic revolved around the three schools.

Everyone is very curious about the difference between the three schools and Hogwarts. Still, everyone firmly believes that Hogwarts is the best.

But what is puzzling is that until now, the Champions of Hogwarts have not been selected, let alone Champions. They have not even seen the absolutely fair referee that Dumbledore said.

Students at every House expect their own to be Champions. When Alvin decided he wouldn't be there, almost every House guessed some seniors who might be suitable to become Champion.

The most likely of these is Cedric, the Hufflepuff student who has long been considered the best at Hogwarts. Alvin doesn't count. He's out of the category.

Gentle and friendly to people, he is the Captain and Seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, Hufflepuff Prefect. His grades are the first in the grade every time.

Cedric made himself a child of someone else's family.

Perhaps to give the guests a better impression. The castle was being thoroughly cleaned, several filthy portraits had been scrubbed clean, and the armor in the hallways had been polished to reflect the light.

Filch became very irritable. When he saw students dirtying the hallway, he would have a violent attack, which scared two first-year girls into crying.

Even the professor became impatient.

In a class of Transfiguration, Neville's spell made a mistake and grafted his ear on the top of the teacup, and then Professor McGonagall was furious.

"Longbottom, please do your best. Don't show your follis in front of other schools!"

"You should see Alvin! He learned it in first grade!"

After learning about this from Hermione's mouth, Alvin also explained.

"This time, not only do the Champions of the four schools need to compete. But other schools will also bring some students and professors, so this is a competition between several schools."

The other students quickly heard Alvin's words. Everyone got excited, ready to show the other schools how good Hogwarts was.

On October 14th, when Alvin came to the Great Hall for breakfast, he found that the Great Hall had been renovated.

Huge silk banners hung on the wall, each representing a Hogwarts House, and behind the High Table hung the largest banner with the four Houses' emblems.

All the professors did not give lectures in class today. But introduced the situation of several other schools and hinted that the little wizards must not embarrass them in front of the teachers and students of the other schools.

Otherwise, they can't guarantee what will happen.

In the evening, when the get-out-of-class bell rang, everyone excitedly returned to their Common Room, changed their uniforms, and hurried to the Great Hall.

Alvin was frowning. He didn't know how he would get along with Cho and the others after Fleur came. Although Cho didn't care that Fleur was his fiancée on the surface, she must have had some grudges in his heart.

I was the first person to confirm your relationship. Why did this little bitch become your fiancee?

Filled with apprehension, Alvin walked into the Ravenclaw queue, where Professor McGonagall was correcting the students individually.

"Weasley, get your hat right! And you, Miss Patil, get that ridiculous thing out of your hair."

Professor McGonagall corrected a few other students and brought everyone to the lawn, where Dumbledore and the other professors were also waiting.

For the first time ever, Snape replaced his black robe, which had been unchanged for many years, and put on a slim green dress with gold trim. Even Hagrid pulled out an old but very clean suit.

Professor McGonagall frowned. She always felt that she had forgotten something. Suddenly, she caught sight of Alvin, who was whispering while holding hands with Luna and suddenly realized.

"Mr. Gaunt, please come here!"

Alvin walked up to Professor McGonagall suspiciously, "Professor, is there something wrong?"

Pulling out his wand, McGonagall turned the lawn weeds into two wreaths.

"When the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang men arrive, you give it to their headmaster."

Alvin took the wreath with a confused look. What do you mean? Does this make him a pageboy?
