(one)

For Miss Natalie Pavlova, tonight marks her sixth year at Hogwarts.

In the bathroom on the Hogwarts train, Natalie looked at herself in the mirror—

She took off her hat first, and straightened her long dark red hair.

Natalie has always been proud of her smooth hair.

Of course, there are also those almond-shaped clear green eyes, snow-white skin, and a proud figure...

Five years can bring a lot of changes to a person.

For example, let a delicate little girl grow into a slim big girl.

Just like what happened to Natalie.

"It's so beautiful!" she murmured, looking at herself in the mirror.

This is not pure narcissism.

She is indeed very beautiful.

Throughout the four houses of Hogwarts' sixth grade, Natalie was recognized as the most beautiful girl.

In the past few years, she has almost rejected the pursuit of more than a dozen boys.

So many people are secretly discussing, is there a problem with this beautiful girl's sexual orientation?

And for Natalie.

Whenever she faced a boy, she would involuntarily compare him with the figure in her mind... After that, she involuntarily lost any interest in this boy.

It's so perfect, the person in her heart...

The one who led her to the wizarding world.

The person with the highest status in Hogwarts now.

...

The train kept going north, and the rain was getting heavier and harder.

The sky was dark and the windows were covered with moisture, so the lights were lit in broad daylight. Ga la ga la, the small cart serving snacks is pushed along the aisle——

Natalie just bought a few licorice magic sticks.

She has never been used to eating too much, especially when she is about to attend the opening banquet at Hogwarts...

Consciously or unconsciously, Natalie has always liked to keep her figure by dieting; although as a witch, she didn't have to do so at all.

"Would you like some cauldron cake, Natalie?" asked a girl beside her.

"No, I'm not hungry!" Natalie shook her head.

"As you like." The girl also knew her friend's habits, so she changed the subject: "By the way, did you know that Principal Hart is married?"

There was rumbling thunder in the air, and the licorice magic wand in Natalie's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"What's wrong with you?" the girl asked in surprise.

"No...it's nothing! The thunder is so loud..." Natalie stammered.

The girl didn't notice her strangeness, and continued to say:

"The bride is Astoria Greengrass from Hogwarts, who just passed her N.E.W.Ts a few months ago, and she seems to have gotten four O's in her final grade...but she and Headmaster Hart are a match made in heaven. , it is said that they met on the first train to Hogwarts..."

Natalie turned her head to the side, with a bitter expression on her face.

A few months ago, she also passed her O.W.Ls exam and got nine O's...even if it was the N.E.W.Ts exam two years later, she dared to swear that she would never have only four O's.

And... I obviously knew that person before I got on the Hogwarts train for the first time.

"The front page of the "Daily Prophet" published the whole process of their wedding. Mrs. Hart in the wedding dress is really beautiful... After the wedding, they went to the Isle of Man to spend almost half of the summer vacation on their honeymoon. All Gewartz's work has been abandoned, and it is said that Professor McGonagall is trembling with anger!"

The girl beside her said with a smile, every word she said was like a needle, piercing Natalie's heart.

"According to the gossip... Mrs. Hart was pregnant a few weeks ago, hehe, the principal is really amazing!"

"Enough!" Natalie exclaimed, covering her ears.

"What's wrong?" The girl on the side looked at her friend in surprise.

"I'm sorry..." Natalie seemed to realize that she had made a slip of the tongue: "I... I want to take a break."

"Then I won't talk." The girl curled her lips.

The sky was completely dark, and Natalie could clearly see herself through the window.

Now, she seemed to see a complete loser.

...

(two)

The Hogwarts Express finally slowed down and stopped at the dark Hogsmeade station.

The car door opened, and there was a rumble of thunder in the air.

They got off the train, heads down, and trotted through the pouring rain.

The rain fell fast and hard, as if buckets of cold water were constantly being poured on their heads, it was very cold.

But Natalie's heart was even colder.

She followed the flow of people dully, mechanically moved little by little, and walked across the dark platform.

Outside the station, a hundred horseless carriages were waiting for them.

Natalie and her friends climbed into one of them, and a moment later, with a violent bump, the long carriage set off along the path leading to Hogwarts Castle, splashing water all the way.

The carriage passed through the gate and drove towards Hogwarts along the spacious driveway, and it was also shaking violently due to the strong wind.

Natalie leaned against the car window and saw Hogwarts getting closer, and at the same time she suddenly realized that she was soaked from top to bottom.

She could actually pull out her magic wand and easily resolve this embarrassment, but now she is not in the mood to do that.

Their carriage stopped at the foot of the stone steps in front of the two oak gates, and several people got out of the carriage hurriedly, and then walked up the steps.

Immediately afterwards, Natalie heard a familiar voice——

"Line up, children!" Principal Jon Hart was standing at the door of the oak gate: "It's such a bad weather, don't catch a cold!"

While speaking, he waved his wand to dry the hair and clothes of a student in front of him.

Not only Headmaster Hart alone, but also several professors...Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Snape...

"Come on, Natalie!" Someone behind her pushed her.

Natalie took a few steps forward and unknowingly came to Principal Hart.

"Are you all right?" Jon Hart asked with concern, and dried Natalie's wet hair and clothes in the blink of an eye.

"Joan... Principal Hart..." Natalie murmured.

"It's you!" Jon glanced at her, with a smile on his face: "Miss Pavlova, how is your summer vacation?"

"It's...not bad..." Natalie replied, and walked into the auditorium under the urging of others behind her.

Maybe it's because the clothes and hair are dry.

Her heart became warm unconsciously.

...

The sorting ceremony is over, it's still the same old style, nothing to watch.

The food at the banquet was plentiful, but Natalie didn't have a great appetite and didn't want to eat too much.

She just wanted the banquet to end as soon as possible, so that she could hear Principal Hart's speech.

Outside the castle, heavy rain still beat heavily on the tall, darkened windows.

There was another burst of thunder, which shook the castle windows and banged.

A flash of lightning flashed across the gloomy ceiling, illuminating the golden plate, and the remaining food on the plate disappeared, and it was filled with desserts in the blink of an eye.

Natalie only tasted some raisin pudding. But she also knew that the banquet would not last long.

As Natalie had expected, the desserts were quickly swept away, and the plates were clean and shiny again.

At the guest table, Principal Jon Hart also stood up.

"First, I must inform you that Professor Pomona Sprout, herbology teacher, has decided to retire from Hogwarts in order to devote all her energies to caring for the precious herbs she grows. Among the plants."

In the hall, there was a sudden sigh. Especially the students on the other side of the Hufflepuff table felt particularly uncomfortable.

After all, Professor Sprout has always been very popular at Hogwarts.

"At the same time, please allow me to introduce our new herbal medicine professor, Professor Neville Longbottom!" Headmaster Hart continued.

A somewhat familiar figure stood up, it was Neville Longbottom who graduated from Hogwarts a year ago.

Applause broke out immediately, and Natalie also applauded. After all, Mr. Longbottom was also her senior in Gryffindor.

"In addition, there is another important news." Jon Hart said with a smile: "A few months later, a five-year-old event will start again—"

"That is, the Triwizard Tournament!"

"I'm afraid some of you still don't know what's going on in this competition, so I hope that those who know the situation will forgive me for explaining a little here—"

Natalie froze.

At the guest seat, Jon Hart's voice sounded again:

"The Triwizard Tournament was created some seven hundred years ago as a friendly rivalry between the three largest schools of wizardry in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmster Lang. Each school selects a warrior, and then three warriors compete in three magic events. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. A great way to form friendships—"

"Five years ago, the Triwizard Tournament resumed, and that time it was held at Hogwarts. I think many older students should still have some impressions of it!"

"Of course, the venue this time is not Hogwarts, but Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France! I will lead about ten sixth and seventh grade students from Hogwarts to France to participate in this event. The competition will start on the eve of Halloween. Interested students can register with your dean, and the requirement is to be 17 years old before October 30!"

Natalie clenched her fists lightly.

She fits the bill.

At the same time...she seemed to have spotted an opportunity.

A small chance to help her get over her status as a defeated dog.

This may also be the last chance.

...

(three)

It is now October 29, 1999.

The day before Halloween was also the day the Hogwarts representative team went to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

Miss Natalie Pavlova clutching a piece of parchment.

This is the permission to go to France that Professor McGonagall gave her yesterday.

The sixth and seventh grade students of Hogwarts, after a fairly fierce "competition", decided the position of the last ten places.

But Natalie stood out without any suspense.

Now, there is still an hour before departure.

Natalie decided to do one thing!

One thing that might get her expelled from Hogwarts...

It was also something she had to do.

...

Through the endless crowd, Natalie quietly came to the door of the Potions classroom.

While no one was paying attention, she drew out her wand and chanted softly, "Alohomora!"

With a slight noise and then a creak, the door to the Potions classroom was swung open.

Professor Horace Slughorn, although an excellent Potions teacher, has always been careless...

Moreover, classrooms and offices have always been neglected.

These are all "measured" by Natalie in the past two months.

And the purpose of Natalie's trip -

It was because she clearly remembered that Professor Slughorn introduced a magical potion to them in the first potion class this semester.

A potion that could help her...

She wanted to steal some of that potion and take it to France.

The little girl searched one crucible after another, her heart already in her throat.

Time passed by every minute...Professor Horace Slughorn may push the door in at any time...

Natalie's little hands were also trembling slightly.

Finally, she found the familiar crucible——

The characteristic mother-of-pearl luster, the unique spiraling steam, and the delicious taste...

Natalie smells grass in the snow... her favorite childhood smell!

And... the smell she smelled when she first went to Diagon Alley.

She did it!

Natalie was very careful, took several glass bottles from her pocket, and filled them all.

Then, she tried to restore everything to the original state as much as possible.

Of course, it didn't matter if she was discovered later; in an hour, she would be leaving Hogwarts and boarding a train to France.

By then, Professor Slughorn couldn't find her either.

One last look at the small glass bottle in his hand——

These are "powerful love potions"!

It is the most effective and powerful love potion in the wizarding world.

...

an hour later.

Among the mountains of the Pyrenees, the floating city hanging upside down in the sky, the beautiful and dazzling castle.

Here is the Beauxbaton School of Magic, one of the three major magic schools in Europe.

On the square, groups of children wearing light blue silk coats lined up neatly in square formations, led by professors.

Of course, the most conspicuous among them was the huge headmistress.

Ms. Olim Maxim, the principal of Beauxbaton Academy of Magic.

Madame Maxime was dressed very well and formally, in shiny black high heels. The black satin clothes, and many luxurious opals gleamed on the neck and thick fingers.

Be it the principal, teachers or students of Beauxbatons, they are all waiting for the Triwizard Tournament and the arrival of the other two representative teams.

Suddenly, a golden light and shadow appeared in the sky.

A very small light and shadow, but extremely shining... It flew towards Beauxbaton's direction little by little, getting closer...

"It's a phoenix!" Someone called softly.

But as Professor Maxim stared at him coldly, the voice stopped abruptly.

Phoenix flew to the floating island where Beauxbaton was located, and at a position about a few hundred yards away from Beauxbaton's phalanx, she gracefully turned around.

A golden halo appeared in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, a loud siren sounded.

A deep red steam locomotive drove out from the golden circle of light...

A sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express!

At the same time, there is a huge coat of arms on the head of the train, with a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.

In a cloud of steam, the train pulled to the side of the road.

"Let us welcome..." Ms. Olim Maxim said loudly, her loud voice was loud enough for the entire floating island to hear:

"Headmaster Jon Hart of Hogwarts, and the representative team from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

A young man in a suit walked off the train first.

Then about a dozen boys and girls dismounted from the train, and they soon stood beside Headmaster Jon Hart.

Judging from their appearance, they are all about seventeen or eighteen years old.

And Natalie Pavlova is one of them.

(Four)

All the students entered the auditorium, followed by the teachers, and they filed to the guest of honor and sat down.

Walking last are Professor Maxime (Headmaster of Beauxbatons), Professor Vance (Headmaster of Durmstrang) and Professor Hart (Headmaster of Hogwarts).

The Beauxbatons rose to their feet as soon as they saw their Headmaster appear. They didn't sit down again until Mrs. Maxim sat down in the center of the guest table. Principal Hart and Principal Vance sat on either side of her.

"Welcome to Beauxbaton, Principal Hart!" In Beauxbaton's auditorium, the three principals of the magic school chatted cordially together: "Of course, there is also Principal Vance!"

Principal Vance also glanced at Principal Hart, and gave him a salute expression.

...

The dinner began, and the table was full of various French dishes.

Natalie simply took a few mouthfuls of dishes, looking a little absent-minded.

Other people in the auditorium were also constantly looking up, with anxious expressions on every face. Everyone fidgeted and stood up from time to time to see if Ms. Maxim had finished eating. They were all looking forward to it and wanted to know who the warriors representing the three schools were.

The golden plate finally returned to its original spotless state, and the voice in the auditorium suddenly increased a lot.

Mrs. Olim Maxim stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again. Hart and Vance on both sides of Maxim looked as full of expectations as everyone else.

Natalie gently clasped her hands into a cross in front of her chest.

She silently prayed...

In an instant, all the lights in the entire castle were extinguished.

The auditorium suddenly fell into a state of half-light and half-darkness.

The Goblet of Fire now emitted a dazzling light, brighter than anything else in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting out with sparks were almost dazzling.

The flame in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out.

Then, a flame shot into the air, and from it flew a piece of charred parchment—everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Madame Maxime seized the parchment—

The flames were now blue and white again.

"Heroes of Hogwarts!" she said loudly:

"It's Natalie Pavlova!"

There was a burst of moaning and sighing at the long table in Hogwarts. The two girls who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried sadly.

Applause and cheers sounded immediately, and Natalie clenched her hands tightly into fists.

She did it!

She did it!

And all she did was not for the glory of Hogwarts... but for that person!

...

"Well done, Miss Pavlova!" Headmaster Jon Hart was waiting for her in the cabin.

Now, there are only the two of them in this hut.

Natalie hesitated for a moment, and she said softly, "Call me Natalie...Principal Hart...that's what you called me before..."

Her voice became softer and softer, until she couldn't even hear herself.

"Okay." Principal Hart nodded with a smile, not aware of other meanings in the girl's voice:

"Don't worry too much about success or failure. The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament itself is just for the friendship between the three academies... When participating in the competition, you must pay attention to your own safety and do not use too dangerous spells, Or magic supplies... Of course, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

What Natalie was waiting for was the last sentence, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I will, Principal Hart..." She nodded earnestly.

After hesitating for a moment, she said softly again: "I remember the Triwizard Tournament five years ago... You represented Hogwarts and won the final championship, right?"

Jon froze for a moment, then nodded: "I guess..."

"Then I will definitely win the final victory on behalf of Hogwarts this time!" The little girl clenched her fists again.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance!" Principal Hart patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"If...I mean if...if I win the Goblet of Fire, Principal Hart, what reward can you give me?" Natalie asked suddenly with a smile.

"If you really win the final prize, I will definitely satisfy any of your requirements!" Principal Hart said without hesitation: "Of course, the premise is that you don't violate the laws of the wizarding world."

Natalie's heart suddenly tightened.

At this moment, thunderous cheers came from outside the house again.

Probably a warrior from another academy has also been selected!
