A day at Hogwarts

Krum was very depressed. His favorite chat topic was Quidditch, but Charles was not interested in it. Fortunately, the other Weasleys could chat with him.

Dishes from various countries appeared on the table. Charles glanced at them and picked out a few that Fleur liked but that were not available on the Ravenclaw table.

When he came back, he brought a plate of black pudding, which vampires often eat, and placed it in front of Erica.

"Don't eat!" Erica pouted deliberately, "You know what I want to eat."

Charles had a black line on his head and whispered: "You came here because of me, right?"

Erica said "hey" twice, picked up a roasted pork knuckle from the plate and placed it in front of Charles.

Charles's face darkened.

Fleur read Charles' expression and was a little worried.

But others only saw Charles and a beautiful girl whispering and helping pick up food. The other person was not Hermione, and her expression was not very good.

Pansy said to Daphne: "What should I do? That silver-haired woman may be Charles' girlfriend."

"Haven't heard of it before?"

Daphne was silent.

On the other side of Pansy, next to Malfoy sat Helen, Durmstrang's eldest sister, who kept talking to Malfoy.

Helen asked Malfoy: "I heard you are very rich?"

Malfoy became interested when he mentioned this, and pretended not to care and said, "That's natural. Not long ago, Charles Smith, oh, the owner of the Dancing Grass Restaurant, gave me ten thousand Galleons."

"I told him that I was just helping him with a small favor, and I didn't pay him for snacks just for that, so forget it."

"But he insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it."

Helen pretended to be surprised, took a piece of beef pie, and was about to put it in front of Malfoy when she suddenly felt the extremely unfriendly eyes of the other two Durmstrang students opposite.

She immediately placed the pie on the plate in front of her.

Malfoy also noticed the hostility of the two people opposite him and smiled politely.

Helen said to him: "She is my sister Helena and Helena's fiancé Bonham Carter."

Malfoy said hello to Helena and Carter, but received a sharp look from the other side.

Helen explained: "They are very introverted and a little afraid of strangers."

Malfoy just smiled politely and murmured in his heart that this was not because he was afraid of strangers, but that he seemed to have a deep hatred for himself.

He recalled carefully that he had never offended anyone in Durmstrang?

Malfoy just thought about it and ignored it. As long as he didn't contact them, they would kill him in Hogwarts if they could.

The dinner ended with laughter.

Dumbledore began to announce the Triwizard Tournament, while Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, and Edward Scott, the new Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, walked to the professor's chair.

Next, Dumbledore introduced the members of the referee team and asked Filch to bring up the Goblet of Fire.

The rough wooden goblet had blue and white flames beating constantly.

It attracted the attention of countless people. Several short first-year students stood on the chairs. Nearly Headless Nick and other ghosts and Peeves also came out through the wall to watch the fun.

Some ghosts have seen the Goblet of Fire before and talked endlessly about the game there many, many years ago.

The Goblet of Fire will be placed in the foyer of the castle starting tomorrow. Students who want to register must throw a note with their name and their school's name into the Goblet of Fire before 5:30 pm on October 30.

After Dumbledore finished explaining the rules, a sudden change occurred.

Peeves hovered under the starry sky ceiling and sang in a strange but very attractive voice:

"The flames rise and the warriors go out into battle,

This is the game of the brave, there is no doubt that the star will always shine,

Beware of the poisonous snake that walks alone,

Lightning and thunder,

Chi Chi boiling soup,

Return from the abyss,

The soul dissipates,

He has nothing,

Only the tears of the beloved remain..."

The atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly became solemn, and everyone and the ghosts looked at Peeves without saying a word. There was still silence around him until he finished singing.

Dumbledore said in a low and angry voice: "Peeves, now is not the time to cause trouble."

Peeves flew in front of him, saluted and said, "Professor, this is the prophecy someone asked me to tell."

Dumbledore asked again: "Who is it?"

Peeves didn't answer, just laughed and flew away through the ceiling.

Erica grabbed Charles' arm tightly and asked nervously: "Charles, did he say that people will die in this competition?"

In the past, the Triwizard Tournament was suspended because too many people died. At this time, many people had the same idea as her.

Charles didn't answer, just watched Peeves leave.

The sound in the cafeteria gradually became louder, and soon it was so noisy that the magic ceiling was distorted by sound waves.

Charles took the opportunity to observe a few people. Snape and Karkaroff looked gloomy, Moody looked calm, the magic eye looked at the ceiling, the professors at Hogwarts were talking about it, and Madam Maxime looked like Watching a play.

Dumbledore's frown relaxed and he had some guesses in his mind.

His relaxed and helpless voice rang in everyone's ears, telling everyone that Peeves was causing trouble again.

It doesn't matter whether the students and guests believe it or not. As long as Dumbledore believes it, his prestige is there and others will follow his example.

After the dinner, Snape and Professor Delacour took the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons to rest respectively.

There are many empty rooms behind the paintings in the castle, and it is no problem to set aside some for the guests to stay.

After Charles returned to the common room, he went directly to the bedroom and leaned on the bed to think about Peeves' song just now.

If this is a prophecy, then it roughly matches his "memory".

But there are two problems.

The most important question is, who told Peeves this prophecy and asked him to sing it at this time?

Charles first thought of the old man. After all, he had done similar things. Last time, he wrote on the door of the Chamber of Secrets that Snape would kill Dumbledore.

But this is not in line with the old man's character. He does not do things so ostentatiously, and he should not let Peeves talk about this in public.

The second problem is that Moody's situation is obviously different from his "memory", which is a variable with a huge impact.

But now Dumbledore doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with Moody, and Charles can't produce evidence to prove that there is a problem for a while, so he can only put it aside.

Now the schedule of the Triwizard Tournament has changed dramatically, and Charles is unsure how useful the prophecy and "memory" are.

At this time, a purple-covered notebook on the bedside made a "ding-dong" sound and flashed.
