Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God - Vol 7 Chapter 56
The latest website: After taking a group photo for the “Pre-Home Daily”, the warriors and referees all left the classroom one after another, leaving only Clark and Dumbledore in the room.
“Clark, about the Triwizard Tournament…”
Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Clark interrupted him, “Headmaster, I am now a Hogwarts warrior. Regarding the competition, I think it is better to avoid suspicion.”
“Cheating has always been a repertoire of the Triwizard Tournament!”
Dumbledore said with a smile, ignoring Clark’s refusal.
“The first event of the competition is the fire dragon, which is in charge of Durmstrang’s side, at the dragon farm.
The fire dragon should arrive in a while, so let Hagrid take you to see it. ”
Clark was not too surprised to hear Dumbledore’s words, “It seems that Hagrid and Charlie are going to be very happy.”
“So I left you here just to inform you that you will be merciful during the game, these dragons are hard-won, and after the game, they will all become the property of Hogwarts and stay in the dragon farm. ‘ Dumbledore exhorted.
“Got it,” Clark waved his hand impatiently, “I’m so scary, it’s a fire dragon, it’s not certain who will hurt who.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Dumbledore complained like a child.
“By the way, and,” Dumbledore said again, “what do you think about the wish to obtain the Holy Grail after winning the game?”
Clark was silent for a while, and Dumbledore didn’t urge him. Finally, Clark spoke up.
“What do you think about that wish, Headmaster?”
The two of them were just thinking about what to do before they caught the fish. They didn’t worry at all whether Clark would be able to win the final victory of the Triwizard Tournament and gain the right to use the Holy Grail.
It seems to them that this thing is already in Clark’s bag.
Like Clark, Dumbledore also thought about this question for a long time.
No way, that is the Holy Grail that can be compared to the Universal Wishing Machine!
It is said, just said, that it can fulfill all your wishes, reasonable and unreasonable.
And who can have no regrets and longings in their hearts?
Even as calm and wise as Dumbledore, at this moment, in the face of this temptation, he lost his temper.
The white-haired old man wriggled his lips, and various shadows flashed in his mind like a slideshow, but he couldn’t say a word.
His father, mother, sister, lover…
All the regrets, it seems that as long as you move your mouth, you may be able to make up for it.
However, all these thoughts finally turned into a sigh, “Hey…”
“To be honest, boy, I was really shaken just now,” Dumbledore raised his head and avoided Clark’s eyes subconsciously. “Maybe it’s because I’m old, and there are more regrets.”
Clark comforted him at this time, “This is also human, Professor.”
“So I’m wondering, Clark, how can you be so young that your wishes won’t be shaken?
That Holy Grail is a treasure more precious than the Philosopher’s Stone. ”
Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at him with piercing eyes. In his blue pupils, a ray of light that seemed to penetrate copper walls and iron walls, wanted to shoot directly into Clark’s heart.
Clark’s spiritual power spontaneously formed solid dams in the ocean of his own thoughts, covering his inner thoughts, and said at the same time.
“Perhaps…for the greater good.”
Dumbledore still stared at him, the pressure in his eyes did not relax at all, and Clark had to speak more candidly.
“Of course, the more important reason is that I want to be immortal, to be wealthy, to be invincible in the world…even to stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars and shine with the sun and the moon.
And these, that little Holy Grail, were not enough to satisfy my desires. ”
Dumbledore was still noncommittal about Clark’s words, but the penetrating light in his eyes disappeared.
“I’ve never been able to see through you, Clark,” the old man sighed helplessly, “but I think you’re a ‘good’ kid, aren’t you?”
“Of course, professor,” Clark looked at him, “but children grow up eventually, and sometimes, elders should learn to let go.”
Dumbledore nodded vaguely, wondering if he agreed with Clark’s words or thought he was really a “good” boy.
Anyway, the topic of the two of them about the Holy Grail started suddenly and ended abruptly.
As time went by, the topic of the Triwizard Tournament in the castle began to become hot again.
Rita Skeeter’s article about the Triwizard Tournament and an interview with a character in the “Hogwarts School Magazine” can be regarded as a warm-up for this competition.
When people opened the “Foreshadowing Daily” curiously, they found that this article was not so much a report on the situation of the hegemony competition, but rather a tribute to Clark’s personal virtues.
Much of the first page of the newspaper was occupied by a photo of Clark with a big smile, and the entire article (to be continued on pages 2, 6, and 7) was devoted to Clark.
In the original interview, Clark’s few words have now turned into long speeches.
In contrast, the names of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang warriors were squeezed into the last line of the article, and they were misspelled, and there was no mention of the additional warrior Bruce Stewart.
But a best-selling author is a best-selling author, and his literary skills really have nothing to say.
Even if it is a large-scale personal report, readers do not hate it, and even watch it with relish, and even the protagonist of the report, Clark, has greatly increased their favor.
In contrast, although the content of the Hogwarts School Journal’s report is objective and detailed, the text content is too boring, and it is not as popular as Rita Skeeter’s report.
“What is this all about?!”
Ginny held the open “Yujia Daily” in her hand, and complained dissatisfiedly.
“Look at this: The reporter asked many people what they thought of Clark Prewett.
‘Clarke is my idol, he is kind and takes care of us underclassmen. ‘ said Colin Creevey, a third-year Gryffindor.
‘Clarke finally found his first love at Hogwarts. ‘ said his close friend, the famous Harry Potter.
Clark is inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger. Miss Granger is amazingly beautiful and born in a Muggle family. Like Clark, she is also one of the top students in the school.
Clark, you’re not really in a relationship with Hermione, are you? ”
Ginny put down the newspaper in her hand, and curiously asked Clark, who was sitting opposite him eating toast. Hermione, who was sitting next to him, blushed because of this question, and ate breakfast with her head down, silently. .
From the corner of Clark’s eyes, he glanced at Hermione who was sitting beside him, then smiled and threw a slice of bread over, hitting Ginny’s plate impartially.
“Let’s have breakfast, you can’t stop your mouth, do you write reports well? Look at other people’s, and then look at yours. Don’t be a deputy editor when you won’t be able to convince the public.”
Ginny glared at Clark disapprovingly, “That’s Rita Skeeter, the number one best-selling author, how could I possibly compare to her.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself, I believe you can do it.” Clark said encouraging words, and then took Hermione and Neville, who had also finished breakfast, and got up and left.
“Isn’t that article by Rita Skeeter sent to you in advance,” Hermione couldn’t help but ask as soon as she left the auditorium, “You didn’t think about changing it?”
Neville walked at the end with a wink at this time, leaving room for them.
“Change? I’ve already asked her to change it. You haven’t seen it. I’m embarrassed to read her original manuscript.” Clark said.
“It’s still like this after changing it again?” Hermione seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and complained arrogantly, “You are really narcissistic.”
“Why did I become narcissistic, isn’t it true?”
“narcissism! Just narcissism!”
…
Neville, who was standing in the back, looked at the two people in front of him who were fighting and laughing, only to feel bitter in his mouth, and finally shook his head helplessly.
However, there is not only a good side to one thing.
Since this article appeared, Clark has indeed gained more popularity, and the little wizards who originally maintained a neutral attitude have also begun to support the Hogwarts warrior.
Some fanatical little witches even started holding various things and asked him to help sign them.
But on the other hand, Hermione, who appeared in the report, naturally shared some unpleasantness.
“Amazing beauty? Her?” Pansy Parkinson said grotesquely when she met Hermione for the first time after Rita’s article was published. “What was she judged on — chipmunk?”
It’s rare that Hermione didn’t yell at those who mocked her. To be honest, Clark admired the way she handled the situation, which at least showed that she was more mature.
“Ignore it,” Hermione said in a dignified tone, holding her head high and striding past the giggling Slytherin girls, her face still proud, “Ignore it. They’re fine, these people are just jealous.”
In addition to Hermione, Rondo Clark’s prejudice is also deeper.
The publication of Tali Skeeter’s article seemed to reinforce Ron’s conviction that Clark was a person who liked to show up and show off.
For this, Clark would not be accustomed to him and explain anything to him, after all, he was just a cousin.
Aside from these changes, Clark’s campus life remains the same as it was before he became a Warrior.
I still get up and run in the morning as usual, take classes with my classmates as usual, and stay in the library as usual.
The teacher will not leave you less homework because you are a Hogwarts warrior, and Professor McGonagall will even beat him to prevent him from being inflated due to his special status.
“Clarke, you can’t be a warrior every year, but next year’s .l exam is bound to come.
Although it is important to get honors for the school, I hope you can think about yourself and learn a little more.
So, you have to hand in the homework for last class! ”
And just like that, the days before the first project went by in the blink of an eye, as if someone had doubled the clock.
As the game approached, Clark remained as usual and did not make any targeted preparations.
On the contrary, it was Hermione, who was a little anxious about his laid-back look, and would whisper in his ear from time to time.
And just like that, on the Saturday before the first program, the school gave permission for students from Year 3 and up to visit the village of Hogsmeade.
No way, the Dragon Raising Farm has not yet been opened, so the students can only take it easy.
The three of Clark were also in the crowd going to Hogsmeade, and Harry wanted to accompany Ron, not with them.
When they entered the village, classmates walked past them from time to time and greeted Clark warmly, and Clark responded politely.
After dealing with these enthusiastic supporters, several people first went to the Honey Duke Candy Store to buy a batch of candy snacks, and then walked towards the Three Broom Tavern.
At the entrance of the bistro, they also ran into Rita Skeeter and her photographer friend coming out of the Three Broomsticks bistro.
They were talking in a low voice, but as soon as Rita Skeeter looked up, she saw Clark, and immediately trotted to Clark.
“Classmate Clark, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Rita Skeeter greeted me in a friendly manner.
Clark nodded, beckoning to say hello.
Rita Skeeter saw that he didn’t want to say anything to herself, so she said, “I’ll stay in the village for a while until I watch the first event, Clark, what do you need from me, Despite your orders.”
After all, she didn’t bother, greeted her photographer friend, and strode away.
“I’ve always wanted to ask you, how did that guy treat you like that?”
When Clark and the others pushed open the door of the Three Broom Tavern and were about to go in and warm up with a glass of butterbeer, Hermione said.
“I checked, and Rita Skeeter is not a simple thing in the news media.”
Clark knew that when Hermione said this, she was just reminding herself that Rita Skeeter was not easy, and don’t be fooled by her flattery.
But he wasn’t worried about it, “It’s okay, Rita Skeeter is just like this because she has a handle on me.”
“The handle?” Hermione asked curiously.
At this time, the Three Broom Tavern was full of people, mainly Hogwarts students, all enjoying the freedom of this afternoon.
However, there are also many people from the magical world who are rarely seen elsewhere. It should be because the Triwizard Tournament is approaching, and they came over to watch the game.
Neville went to get drinks, and Clark and Hermione leaned on their sides, moving toward an empty table in the corner.
As they walked, they saw Harry and Ron, as well as George, Fred and Lee Jordan, all of them sitting together.
“That’s right, a little trick, plus I’m still a shareholder of the “Yujia Daily”, that’s how she pleases me so much.”
After being seated, Clark explained that Neville had already come over with three glasses of butterbeer.
Clark took a cup and took a sip, and a warm current suddenly flowed through his body in this harsh early winter.
