Chapter 457 Goblet of Fire

Although Fleur was beautiful, although Klum was a famous football star, and although Cat was cute, when it came to their alma mater, everyone had firmed up their stance and started to argue for their own school.

"Hehehe... It seems that our students are very energetic."

The faculty and staff were sitting not far away and naturally heard everyone's argument. Dumbledore stopped Professor McGonagall who wanted to stop the fight and said to the other two principals with a smile.

"Humph." Karkaroff put on a false smile and shook his head noncommittally.

Ms. Maxim also smiled and said loudly: "It is pointless to argue now. Let's look at the performance of the warriors in the Triwizard Tournament. I believe that my students will not let me down."

Her loud voice quickly reached the ears of the quarreling students. The students from the three schools stared at each other for a while, then nodded tacitly and stopped the quarrel.

"I will win the Triwizard Tournament and prove that Beauxbatons is the best magic school!"

Fleur dropped her harsh words before leaving.

Although Krum did not speak, judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had the same idea as Fleur.

"Gabriel, let's go."

After finishing her harsh words, Fleur shouted to her sister who was still clinging to Maomao.

However, the little girl Gabri rejected her harshly: "I don't want it! Gabri wants to be with Brother Feishu!"

After saying that, she hugged Feish tightly and put her little head into Maomao's arms.

Fred on the side also gave the little girl an idea: "If you want to go to the same school as Fish, you don't have to take him to Beauxbatons. You can also come to Hogwarts."

"elder sister?"

Gabrielle wouldn't think about it that much. She looked expectantly at her sister who was almost mad to death.

"Don't even think about it!"

Furong shouted angrily and "plucked" the sister who had been tearing her down from Fei Xu's arms, and then dragged her away forcefully.

"Ah! Bad sister! I want to play with Brother Feishu! Brother Feishu, please help me——"

Gabrielle cried and struggled all the way before being dragged away by Fleur.

ω

Fish watched blankly as Gabrielle was forcibly dragged away, then turned his head to look at Hermione...

"Did Fei Xu look like this before?"

(ω)

"Hmm...probably...about right."

Hermione suppressed a laugh and replied insincerely.

It's a good thing that Fish can reflect on himself because of this, so don't hit him again.

However, Maomao's reaction was beyond Hermione's expectations...

"I'm just telling you!" Fish puffed up his cheeks and said angrily: "Aren't you always like this at this age? Minerva always says that Fish is naughty!"

(〃｀3〃)

Hermione Granger: "..."

Other students around: "..."

After the commotion subsided, everyone ate and drank for a while, and two more people walked into the hall.

Fish also knew these two people, they were Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch whom he had met at the Quidditch World Cup.

They walked to the two empty seats on the principal teacher's table and sat down, smiling and chatting in low voices with the three principals.

"What are they doing here?" Harry asked in surprise.

"They organized the Triwizard Tournament, didn't they?" Hermione said, "I guess they wanted to witness the opening ceremony of the tournament with their own eyes."

"Are we about to start signing up?"

Feishu only cared about this. He looked at the two people above him, and then at the food in front of him...

"But Fish hasn't eaten enough yet..."

(ω)

"Didn't Professor Dumbledore say that the dinner will officially begin after the dinner is over?"

Hermione forked a piece of steak, put it to his mouth, and then the cat swallowed it in one gulp.

At this moment, the staple food on the table that no one had touched except for Fisch was suddenly removed and replaced with a variety of desserts, including many unseen varieties, probably those from France and Bulgaria. Specialty sweets.

When he discovered that new foods had appeared, Fish had no time to worry about what Bagman and Crouch were doing here. He quickly tasted the sweets he saw for the first time and thought they were delicious. recommended to Hermione on the side.

"Hermione, ah~"

(●ΦωΦ●)つΨ

Hermione: "Ah~"

Gabrielle looked envious: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After the desserts were removed and today's dinner was finally over, Dumbledore stood up again. A mood of excitement and nervousness seemed to pervade the auditorium.

Many people leaned forward and stared at Dumbledore very intently.

"The moment has finally arrived," Dumbledore said, smiling at the upturned faces. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words first, and then bring the box in..."

"What are you bringing in?" Harry asked quietly.

Ron shrugged.

But the sharp-eyed Fisher saw Argus Filch holding a box and standing in the corner of the auditorium.

It was a large wooden box inlaid with jewels, but it looked a little shabby. Fish waved to Filch and then attracted everyone's attention.

Dumbledore touched his crooked nose speechlessly, and then continued to introduce Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch to everyone, and told everyone that they were the people mainly responsible for arranging the Triwizard Tournament.

Everyone also temporarily withdrew their gaze from Filch and the box in his hand, and gave them both welcome and respectful applause... and then continued to stare at Filch.

"They will form a judging panel together with me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim to judge the efforts of the warriors." Dumbledore did not care and continued to introduce to everyone.

Upon hearing the word "warrior", Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students finally turned their attention back.

Regarding the matter of the Jury, Hermione had already read about it from the books provided by Professor McGonagall, and it had spread throughout the school through Fish's mouth, so the students at Hogwarts were not surprised at all and remained focused. He stared at Filch, making him feel uncomfortable standing in the corner.

Dumbledore naturally knew what everyone was looking forward to. He smiled slightly and finally said: "I think everyone is impatient to wait... Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

Filch was relieved and quickly walked to Dumbledore's side, put down the box in his hand and quickly moved aside.

At this moment that made everyone nervous and excited, Dumbledore, the evil old man, turned around and talked about some details of the Triwizard Tournament. Fish was so anxious that he couldn't help but want to go up and punch him on the crooked nose.

After finally waiting for him to finish talking, Dumbledore talked about the selection of warriors again. Fortunately, this was also an issue that everyone was more concerned about, so they all held their breath and listened carefully.

"It is a fair selector who selects the warriors," Dumbledore said as he pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times. "It is the Goblet of Fire."

The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, roughly carved wooden goblet. The cup itself was unremarkable at all, but it was filled with dancing blue-white flames.

Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the Great Hall could clearly see it.

"Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," Dumbledore said: "Those who are aspiring to become a warrior can do so within twenty years. Sign up within four 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 will be placed in the foyer for all who wish to participate. All students running for election will have access to it.”

"Fish seems to have been deceived..."

(ω)

If signing up was so easy, then what was the purpose of his tutoring during this period? !

Not only Fish, but also students in Hogwarts expressed dissatisfaction, especially the Weasley twins.

"That's not what you said before!"

George and Fred shouted.

Dumbledore smiled and continued: "As I said to the students at Hogwarts before, the Triwizard Tournament is still too dangerous for younger students, so in order to avoid students who are not old enough, Unable to resist temptation, I will draw an age line around the goblet once it is placed in the hall. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this age line. But..."

He paused and then said: "If someone successfully breaks through the age line I drew, then it proves that you are also qualified to participate in the Warriors' election. However, I must remind everyone that this competition is not a child's play. Don’t join in recklessly.”

"Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the game to the end. Whoever puts his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once he becomes a warrior, he is not allowed to change his mind. ”

"So please think twice before you put your name in the cup before you put your name in the competition. I wish you all a good night."

Dumbledore finished his speech.
