Chapter 881 The Top 100 Tournament Accepts Registration

For most of the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry, the hottest topic recently is still the first school-wide open class after the start of school, about the spell taught by Professor McGonagall—arrow deflection.

This spell is extremely difficult, but after Anton took this spell as an example in the "Night School" and explained "how to use our 'memory' to cast spells", many people rekindled and learned this powerful spell hope.

The heat of this curse was pushed up again.

In fact, this spell is already the hottest topic in the entire wizarding world.

At the same time, the "Order of the Phoenix", which invented this curse, also began to officially move towards the bright side, with great momentum from a "local non-governmental organization" to an "international organization", although there is no such clear definition.

Many people with no shortage of political sensibilities have secretly speculated why Dumbledore would suddenly bring the Order of the Phoenix to the fore.

What kind of signal is this powerful old man sending out?

It is still unknown.

The world seems to be changing all the time.

Even Percy Weasley, who was in the Tower of Asylum in New York, was arranged to return to the UK by the "House Organization", and it was said that he would be in charge of the connection between the organizers of the "Top 100 Tournament" and the Ministry of Magic.

In this way, on the last Tuesday morning of the first month after school started, the little wizards were enjoying a hearty breakfast, and the owl postmen flew in with the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet".

After they dropped the newspaper, they flapped their wings and left quickly. Obviously, the magic post office had a heavy task today, and there was no way for them to stop and ask for some snacks.

"Look! The Top 100 Competition is about to begin!"

A man waved the newspaper in his hand and exclaimed. Seeing many people who did not subscribe to the newspaper read it, he couldn't help shouting more and more triumphantly.

It wasn't until someone urged him to quickly talk about what was written in it that he cleared his throat, shook the newspaper solemnly, and read aloud.

"The Top 100 Tournament officially accepts registration, and the registration address is the Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Sports, and the Temporary Office of the Top 100 Tournament."

"The registration period starts today and ends on Friday the week before Christmas."

"There are two requirements for registration. The first requirement is to be under the age of 18, and the second requirement is to master the spell of 'Arrow Deflection'."

ps: Over 18 years old are broadly defined adult wizards.

"Arrow deflection?" Someone exclaimed, "Isn't this too difficult?"

"Yes." The classmate holding the newspaper shrugged. "The good news is that there is still a long time before Christmas, enough for us to practice. The bad news is that maybe we may never learn this magic in our lifetime."

"Oh, Merlin's slimy smelly socks!"

"Listen carefully!" The classmate couldn't help yelling again when he saw that everyone started to discuss, "There are more!"

"The Top 100 Tournament is not based on schools. Any wizard who meets these two conditions can participate in the registration! And..."

Not only here, but also in the auditorium on the first floor of the school, there is a lot of discussion, and there are boiling voices everywhere.

On the other side of the long Slytherin table, Draco Malfoy looked around with some complacency, and didn't even bother to flip through the newspapers on the table.

Flicking his pale blonde hair elegantly, Draco slowly picked up a chicken leg on the plate, and gracefully took a bite amidst the noisy crowd.

He didn't even need to look to know what was written inside!

Recently, he studied magic with Anton, so he was fortunate to participate in the discussions inside the hut, and witnessed these contents being discussed little by little.

Later, Professor Dumbledore even came to the hut in person and nodded in agreement with the results of everyone's discussions.

You know, in this rule, the idea of ​​requiring everyone to register with the Ministry of Magic of each country was proposed by him, Draco Malfoy!

Yes, he brought it up!

And there is honor!

Pride is dead!

"Huh~huh~"

...

Anton didn't take a few mouthfuls of breakfast before he was hurriedly pulled away by Professor Lockhart.

Lockhart first got under the table to operate a magic encrypted box, took out a thick stack of manuscripts from it, and looked at Anton with red eyes.

"I sorted out the content of your class on 'Arrow Deflection', please correct it for me to see if there are any omissions."

"It would be nice to add more content."

Anton froze for a moment, "What is this?"

"What?" Lockhart's voice became sharp with excitement, "Did I teach you for nothing? Anthony Weasley! You need a writer's sensitivity to the market, sensitivity, understand?"

"Do you know what kind of books will sell well as soon as they are released in the next market?"

"Once we know what kind of books are coming out, we don't even need warm-up, publicity, or recommendation from any celebrities..." Lockhart waved his arms vigorously, "Yes, we don't need to do anything, we can easily Easily won the number one bestseller!"

snap~

The manuscript was slapped on the table vigorously, Lockhart's face was so excited that it almost twisted, "The answer is - about the magic of arrow deflection!"

"I've been preparing for this since you told me the entry requirements for the Top 100 Competition."

"Damn it, the Death Eaters and Grindelwald have been asking me to do so much lately that I don't have enough time to get it out before it's reported. It's a big loss!"

Anton carefully avoided Lockhart's saliva, gently pulled out the manuscript on the table, shrugged, "Okay, okay, market acumen, the first element of a best-selling author, you have said it many times."

"Yes!" Lockhart looked anxious, walking up and down the office.

"I also commissioned Professor McGonagall, Professor Fiennes, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sirius and Professor Lupine to help write their understanding of the spell."

"Now only Professor Lupine gives it to me, oh, Remus is so kind, he wrote to me overnight, but I have to put it off again and again."

"No, I have to urge you later!"

"Especially Professor Flitwick, he's been in a trance for the past few days, and he doesn't know what he's doing!"

Lockhart was thinking about something anxiously, Anton ignored him, picked up the pen on the table and began to revise the content of the manuscript.

At this moment, the door of the office was violently opened, and Professor Snape walked in hurriedly, first glanced at Anton, and then looked at Lockhart with some irritability.

"I hear you! I think I've written it, and I hope you don't bother me again!"

As he spoke, he took out a manuscript and threw it into Lockhart's arms rudely, "There will be no next time, understand?"

"Of course!" Lockhart said excitedly.

He wasn't afraid of Professor Snape. When he first came to Hogwarts, he even recommended a shampoo brand he ran to Snape. That's right, he was so fresh!

"Oh shit~" Lockhart flipped through it quickly, although he actually couldn't understand what was said above, but it didn't stop him from appreciating the manuscript, "Among the people I invited, apart from Professor Dumbledore, only I am most looking forward to what belongs to you, Professor Snape."

"Professor Dumbledore?" Snape blinked, then looked at Anton who was revising the manuscript, frowned and looked at the manuscript in Lockhart's hand, thinking whether to take it back and revise it again?

Maybe there are some places that need to be refined?

"You know, Professor Lockhart, I'm primarily a Potions professor, and while I think I'm extremely good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, sometimes the understanding of this new spell, I think..."

Before Professor Snape could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw Professor Sirius walking in with a manuscript, and his expression sank. "I think my understanding is the best! No one!"

"Ha~" Professor Sirius sneered, leaning sideways on the light stand beside Lockhart, gracefully waved the manuscript in his hand towards Lockhart, "I don't think so!"

Then, the two started arguing like this.

Anton was still immersed in the revision of the manuscript. He was extremely serious about magic. He even took out more parchment from the table and began to add content.

As for the noise around him, he has long been used to it.

From the earliest Pedro and Fiennes, to the later Dumbledore and Voldemort, George and Fred, Draco and Harry...

Anton was even used to this kind of quiet practice, and his brain was working at full capacity thinking about the extremely in-depth knowledge of magic.

Examining the 'Arrow Deflection' spell based on the theory he studied in the book "Wizards are Gods", there are too many things he can write.
