Chapter 248 The So-Called Goblet of Fire
Chapter 248 The So-Called Goblet of Fire
After everything was in place, two more people appeared on the rostrum, namely Crouch and the previous World Cup commentator: Ludo Bagman.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and, especially, our distinguished guests!" said Dumbledore, looking at the foreign students with a smile, "it is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and trust that you will be comfortable and happy here."
Hearing Dumbledore's words, a girl from Beauxbatons sneered, no doubt sarcastically.
Professor McGonagall's face also turned cold all of a sudden, but since it was this occasion, she didn't have an attack, and Hermione was also very unhappy, did you ask you to come.
"If you don't want to come, then get out, Hogwarts only welcomes those who are willing to come."
A cold voice suddenly sounded from the teacher's seat, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. The boy next to Professor McGonagall was Ivan.
"It seems that this little wizard is very hostile to us Beauxbatons," Madam Maxim said with a smile, "If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
Professor McGonagall rubbed Ivan's head, and responded in the same way, "I'm sorry, my student is just a little stupid, and my brain just can't turn around. I will definitely educate him when I go back."
Ivan stupid?
Just kidding.
The little wizards of Hogwarts off the court let out a low laugh. It has to be said that Ivan's actions are in line with their wishes. What the girl did just now is really annoying.
What was even more embarrassing was the girl from Beauxbatons, who tore off the veil on her head and looked at Aiwen with angry eyes. Aiwen took the time to cut off a piece of steak and put it on Hermione's plate. He picked up another glass of red wine and raised his hand at her.
"So this is how you treat guests at Hogwarts?" Krum shouted directly at Durmstrang, "You actually drive the guests back?"
"Oh, so this is Durmstrang's etiquette, you have to plug in when the elders are talking." Ivan retorted without hesitation, and then watched Hermione put a piece of cake in front of him , looked at Krum provocatively, only to grind Krum's teeth in anger, and made a creaking sound.
"Shut up, Ivan." After hearing Ivan finished speaking, Mr. McGonagall reprimanded Ivan, and then smiled apologetically at the people around him.
After a small episode, everyone finally started the banquet. Ivan and Hermione sat there eating in silence, listening to the chatter and laughter on the professor's bench over there. Mr. McGonagall still kept his serious face, but he didn't I didn't educate Ivan on what happened just now, and I don't know what I was thinking.
When Dumbledore stood up again.A mixture of excitement and tension seemed to pervade the auditorium.
Dumbledore briefly introduced the Ministry of Magic and told Filch to bring up the box.
The audience was full of people, and the little wizards were all guessing what was in this ancient box.
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition." Dumbledore said calmly, "Representing a participating school, we will grade them according to the quality of each competition item they complete. After the three items are over, the score The tallest warrior will win the Triwizard Cup. It is an impartial selector who is responsible for choosing the warrior, and it is the Goblet of Fire!"
Hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, and everyone seemed to stop breathing.
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition." Dumbledore continued to say calmly, "Representing a participating school, we will grade them according to the quality of each competition item they complete. After the three items are over, The warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. It is an impartial selector who is responsible for selecting the warrior, and it is the Goblet of Fire!"
Having said this, Dumbledore drew out his wand and tapped three times on the lid of the box.
The lid creaked slowly open, and Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-hewn wooden goblet.
The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.
Ivan can feel that this is a magic item with strong magic power, but it is not a legendary magic item.
Its role is to select the respective warriors from among the students of the three magic academies, and let them sign a contract with the Triwizard Tournament.
Glancing at everyone present, Dumbledore continued, "Every student who wants to run for the championship must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet.
Aspiring warriors can sign up within 24 hours.Tomorrow night, Halloween night, the goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools.Tonight, the goblet sits in the foyer, accessible to all students who wish to run.
"In order to avoid the temptation of underage students," said Dumbledore, "I will draw an age line around the goblet when it is placed in the hall. No one under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line." age line.
"Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate in the election that this competition is not a child's play, so don't take part in it rashly. Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the competition to the end. Whoever puts himself Putting your name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be kept. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. Therefore, please think twice and make sure that you really want to participate in the competition. Then put the name in the cup. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed, so I wish you a good night."
Under Dumbledore's urging, everyone stood up from the table and walked towards their respective lounges, but there was no doubt that what they discussed the most was how to become a warrior.
But these have nothing to do with Aiwen, since Dumbledore has acquiesced that he can secretly participate in the competition, then he must be able to find a way to participate, such as confusing spells, or find a wizard over the age of 17 to take his Putting in the name and other similar methods, as long as you are smart enough, you can always think of a tricky way.
But to be honest, this so-called Triwizard Tournament is really nonsense. A magic item that can be deceived so easily can determine the so-called Triwizard. I have to say that it is full of irony.
Ai Wen lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
