Two days later, Edward, like everyone else, went downstairs to have breakfast. Today's lessons were canceled because it was an unusual day. Two other wizarding schools were joining Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to organize the Triwizard Tournament.

Unlike the others, Edward did not show too many emotions. Although he had seen this scene in the movie, it still aroused some interest. However, something much more important for him was another thing.

Tonight, Edward might encounter something that could change his fate forever. For two days in a row, he had been lost in thought, wondering what to choose. He thought about it so seriously only because the words he read from the book belonged to one of the founders of Hogwarts.

That is, this information clearly had some weight, and was not simple, based on what was written. This is what worried him the most - refusing this secret would most likely protect him because he knows the fate of this world. Or rather, he knows the fate of this school and the magical community of London.

However, on the other hand, there was something else - although there is no guarantee that this will be anything extraordinary. However, even so, this secret aroused obvious interest in him. What could it be that even one of the founders was afraid of it?

Thinking for two days in a row, he gradually inclined towards wanting to find out what the founder wanted to convey. If it was a secret he knew from the movies themselves, about Voldemort, or about the Deathly Hallows, it would have little value to him. Besides, it would not affect his life in this world.

However, on the other hand, the secret could also be very dangerous - it could be forbidden knowledge about magic, or a book with dangerous content. All of this could have a tremendous impact on him.

But one factor still prevailed - that is, when he came to this world, he wanted to create a legend about himself, just like the main characters. This desire was suppressed by the fact that he was not as talented or lucky as the main characters.

This desire did not disappear - as it should, it was just suppressed. However, the difference was that he knew the main story well. If he had good talents, he could create a legend while staying alive.

As for the secret, there were no guarantees.

Because of these reflections, he fell into a stunned state again and again. Sitting at the Ravenclaw table, he was still in this state. At this moment, his attention was mixed with the loud voices.

More and more people were coming in from outside - all these students had been outside watching as the two other schools arrived here. Finally everyone sat down in their places, after which it became quite quiet.

Meanwhile, Headmaster Dumbledore stood behind the podium and began to speak - the exact same words as in the movie.

"We are joined by guests from two other wizarding schools, because this year we are going to host the Triwizard Tournament, a legendary event. The tournament will be very dangerous..."

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Headmaster Dumbledore continued speaking, introducing and describing the Triwizard Tournament. Finally he finished and introduced the first school. Following which the doors of the hall opened and a team of girls from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic walked in.

Graceful movements and mysterious magic accompanied them. Then the director also introduced the other school, Durmstrang Institute of Magic.

After some conversation, everyone started the feast, with participants from the other schools also joining all the Hogwarts houses.

After watching this show for some time, he ignored everything else and started his reflections again.

As it happened in the movie, the next scene was the introduction of the Goblet and the rules. Also in the middle, one of the Death Eaters appeared, disguised as an Auror.

Everything was standard, as in the movie.

Finally the scene was over, after which everyone started leaving. But instead of going back to the Ravenclaw tower, he approached the three heroes - he mainly wanted to talk to Harry. In his opinion, he could ask for something that the other could lend in return.

"Harry, wait, can we talk about something?"

Hearing Edward's words, the three heroes who were talking to each other stopped. Looking at him, they had strange feelings, since the last time these four were together was only in the first year.

"Yes, Edward, what's the matter?"

Harry stepped forward and spoke.

"Well, can we talk in private?"

Looking at his friends, Harry nodded and he and Edward walked aside.

"Harry, I won't waste your time - can I borrow your invisibility cloak for tonight?"

Making his request, he looked at Harry, watching him. Although the request may seem quite high, given his kind character and remembering Edward's help in the first year, Harry still thought about it and agreed to lend the cloak.

"Let's go to the dormitory and I'll give it to you."

"No, I'll wait on the stairs."

He nodded to Edward and went towards the exit - there Hermione and Ron were standing, clearly interested in what he and Edward had talked about.

Edward also saw how they left, clearly judging, towards the dormitory.

Time passed, and soon, holding the folded invisibility cloak in his hand, Edward returned to his room. Just in case, he also started preparing, as he could not be one hundred percent sure about his adventure.

Looking at the slowly setting sun, he was in a state of shock and stagnation, like the one he had been in for two days.

However, inside him, there was always a mysterious feeling of discrepancy and anxiety mixed with excitement.

"I think at this time everyone is throwing their names into the Goblet - what if I try too, is it possible? Although my body is small, my soul is clearly an adult..."

Thinking about all kinds of things, time slowly approached the event that could possibly change his life.

======================

In the dark and quiet Hogwarts corridors, they were deserted, and the paintings on the walls were in a state of sleep.

Outside, the moon gradually emerged from the clouds, brightly illuminating the dark night. A ray of moonlight began to pass through the school's windows and fell on the magic stairs.

At the same time, in the middle of the stairs near one of the windows stood Edward - however, he could not be seen as he was wearing the invisibility cloak. He looked at the circular spot on the window and waited until finally the moon stood right in that spot.

The full moon completely filled the circle.

Seeing this scene, feeling the same excitement and fear, Edward slowly and quietly whispered, "Aperi."

For a few seconds nothing happened, and Edward thought he was wrong. Suddenly the stairs started to move, observing this phenomenon, he concentrated.

Soon, before his eyes, several staircases created a path in the air, pointing directly at the wall.

He looked at this place - there was no other movement. Resolved, he slowly walked towards the wall where the staircases had laid a path. As he slowly approached, the wall, which was clean, gradually began to move aside, this scene was similar to the parting of the scene as the gateway to Diagon Alley opened up behind the bar. Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself and entered inside - immediately after him the passage closed again.
