Batman's Owl Godfather

After warning Neville, Bruce still felt uneasy, so he directly pulled Neville to his cubicle.

Good friends should sit together.

He really didn't understand why Neville had to find a booth to sit by himself.

"The magic crow told me."

Neville lowered his head and explained, "It told me that since I am destined to be the best among wizards, I should be different from the beginning."

Bruce almost laughed: "What do you mean by being different, is sitting alone in a booth?"

That's not called being different, that's just being excluded.

However, perhaps it was because of Neville's unique brain circuit that he was not really bewitched by the evil crow.

…

After a few more hours, the train finally arrived at the terminal.

Hogsmeade Station was now dark, and when the doors opened, rumbles of thunder could be heard in the air.

Hermione wrapped Crookshanks and the magic doll Munn in her cloak, and Bruce held Catum above his head to protect them from the rain, and they got off the train.

The rain came hard and fast, as if buckets of ice-cold water were being poured over their heads.

As usual, first-year students were ferried across the lake by Hagrid and entered Hogwarts Castle.

Senior students ride on Thestral carriages to the castle.

Bruce moved little by little with the flow of people, walked across the dark platform, got on the carriage pulled by the Thestral, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh - what a crazy weather!"

Hermione muttered, looking down at her cat and doll, "Crookshanks, Moon, aren't you wet?"

Bruce really likes this kind of rainy weather. Heavy rainy nights are suitable for bat monsters to come out and do activities.

He grabbed Katum in his hand and kept shaking it, trying to shake off all the water droplets on the owl.

"Remember it for me."

Katum said in a daze, "Those who offend the owl will not end well!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Bruce ignored him and continued shaking.

When he was almost done, the carriage door closed automatically, and with a violent jolt, the long carriage team rumbled off along the path leading to Hogwarts Castle, splashing water all the way.

The carriage passed through a gate flanked by winged boar sculptures and drove down a spacious driveway, shaking violently due to the strong wind.

Hogwarts is getting closer,

The carriage stopped, and Bruce, Hermione, and Neville jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly ran up the stone steps and entered the warm Hogwarts Castle.

Passing through the familiar wooden door, the castle auditorium appeared in front of them.

The auditorium is still as magnificent and magnificent, and it has been specially decorated for the new semester banquet. Hundreds of candles floated above the table, making the gold plates and goblets sparkle.

It's much warmer here.

Bruce separated from Hermione and the others here and entered the long table of Hufflepuff. Cedric was already sitting there, extending his hand to Bruce and saying hello.

…

After Bruce sat down, the dinner started after a while.

It was still the same familiar process, first there was the sorting ceremony, and then a group of little wizards joined Hufflepuff House.

Bruce looked at the little wizards and didn't find anything particularly strange. They were all normal wizard children. There was no old woman from a thousand years ago hiding among them under makeup.

Boom——

Suddenly, Bruce felt something hit his head, and then fell into his arms.

It was a ball of paper.

Bruce looked up and found that Ravenna at the next table was looking at him with a fierce look, and pointed at the paper ball, indicating to Bruce to open it and take a look.

Now Ravenna is actually Ravenclaw herself. She no longer uses the identity of Lockhart and has turned to being a schoolgirl to remember her lost youthful years.

"Staying with those girls makes me feel a thousand years younger." These were the exact words Ravenclaw once said to Bruce.

At this time, beside Ravenna, some Ravenclaw girls were covering their mouths and laughing.

Ravenna turned her head with confusion and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, nothing!"

The girls immediately turned their faces to the side and said nothing, but the unstoppable smiles on their faces still revealed their mood.

The same thing happened to Bruce at this time.

"You and Ravenla seem to have a very good relationship." Cedric smiled and said to Bruce, "Everyone is guessing when you can really confess to each other."

"Confess what?" Bruce asked confused.

"Nothing!" Cedric smiled slightly and said nothing more.

baffling.

Bruce really couldn't understand why Cedric started laughing like these little girls.

He slowly opened the ball of paper, and Ravenna's beautiful handwriting appeared in front of him, which was much better than Bruce's writing.

The content above is very simple: "I have decided to throw your name into the Goblet of Fire later. Do you know what the Goblet of Fire is, right?"

What?

Bruce looked up suddenly, Ravenna couldn't be serious, could she?

As someone who knew the original plot, he certainly knew that this year's Hogwarts would be the venue for the Triwizard Tournament.

But what does this have to do with him?

He doesn't care about the honor of the competition at all!

Bruce wanted to stand up and rush to Ravenclaw's long table to ask Ravenna to stop thinking about it.

However, by chance, the evening party progressed to the stage where the principal gave a speech.

Dumbledore had already stood on the podium, and the other young wizards had fallen silent. At this moment, if Bruce wanted to make any move, he would be too conspicuous.

In desperation, he could only sit down and wait to find Ravenna later.

"alright!"

Dumbledore on the stage looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Now that we have eaten and drank enough, I must ask everyone's attention again. I have a few announcements to make."

They were all cliche announcements, with nothing more than a few more school rules and no entry into the forbidden forest.

But in fact, these notifications never had any effect.

Bruce was very suspicious. In fact, Dumbledore also knew that those adventurous young wizards would not listen to him at all. These notices were actually equivalent to a disclaimer.

You see, I have already said it in advance. If you violate school rules in the future, don't blame the school for not notifying you in advance.

The first few notifications made Bruce's ears tingle.

But it doesn't matter, he knows that the real highlight is next!

Sure enough, Dumbledore's next words directly detonated the entire audience.

"I would also like to inform you with great regret that the Academy Cup Quidditch Tournament will not be held this year."

The entire auditorium instantly burst into chirping sounds.

Even across the table, Bruce could hear Harry's surprise.

"What?!"

Harry was almost out of breath.

He turned to look at his Quidditch teammates Fred and George. They all stared silently at Dumbledore with their mouths open.

Dumbledore continued: "This is because a major event is due to start in October and continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and attention - but I'm sure you will all get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I I am very pleased to announce that this year at Hogwarts—"

At Hogwarts——

Everyone is waiting for Dumbledore's next words. If the answer does not satisfy the students, Fred and George can swear on their chests that Dumbledore will be careful about his long white beard in the next year. , will not disappear because of an accident.

But at this moment, there was a deafening thunder, and the door of the auditorium was slammed open.

A man stood in the doorway, wrapped in a black traveling cloak.

Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the stranger, and suddenly a fork-shaped lightning flashed across the ceiling, illuminating the stranger.

"Oh ho ho ho! Sorry, I scared you!"

The man took off his hood, revealing his face.

At this moment, the entire auditorium fell into deathly silence, and then someone shouted: "Godric Gryffindor!"

The scene instantly became agitated like a boiling oil pan.

"Quiet!!!"

Dumbledore put his wand to his throat and shouted loudly, suppressing the students' voices. The deans of each college also stood up and began to maintain order at the scene.

Of course they could understand the restless hearts of the students. After all, how could anyone not be excited when a legendary figure from a thousand years ago appeared in front of them?

But now is not the time to get excited, the principal is still talking!

"Mr. Gryffindor."

After finally maintaining order at the scene, Dumbledore came forward with a wry smile, "It's a coincidence that you came. I'm about to announce important news now."

"I reflect." Gryffindor also said with a smile, "I will pay more attention to the atmosphere around me in the future."

No way, Dumbledore originally wanted to announce the news about the Goblet of Fire, but since Gryffindor happened to be here, let's introduce it first.

"Students, please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,"

Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Professor Gryffindor!"

"Wow!!!"

This time, the excitement of the students could no longer be suppressed. They applauded enthusiastically, cheered and whistled, and some students even stood on their chairs.

Bruce turned his head and looked in one direction, where Ravenclaw was pouting. She looked at Gryffindor and muttered something. Judging from the shape of her mouth, it seemed to be saying: "You are so majestic."

Huh?

Bruce suddenly thought of something.

Technically speaking, Ravenclaw also served as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but her treatment at that time was not as good as that of Gryffindor.

After all, her identity at the time was Lockhart Gilderoy.

Only little girls like her, and all the boys look down on her secretly.

But this time Gryffindor was different. He was popular in all directions. Even Slytherin, the house that had never dealt with Gryffindor, was extremely excited.

After a long time, the students gradually calmed down. The expressions on their faces were still very excited, and it was difficult to digest the news.

Gryffindor becomes their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?

Then the name of this class must be changed!

Now it's not them defending against black magic, but black magic defending them!

At this time, Gryffindor had already sat on the teacher's seat and was chatting quietly with Professor McGonagall next to him.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued to announce what he had just finished.

"As I just said."

He looked at the many students in front of him with a smile and said - the students were still staring blankly at Mad-Eye Moody, "In the next few months, we will be honored to host a very exciting event. This event has not been held for more than a century.

"That's it - the Triwizard Tournament!"

The students were numb tonight. A series of bombshell news hit their faces, making them not even know which one to be excited about.

Triwizard Tournament?

That is an important event that can only be seen in storybooks!

"Not only that!"

Dumbledore cleared his throat, "And this time, there will be more schools participating, instead of only three schools like before.

"I am very happy to tell you that the Seven Wizards Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year!"

boom--

The auditorium was boiling again, and Bruce saw that one of the twins had jumped on the table with excitement at the Gryffindor table.

Ginny had no expression on her face as she grabbed her brother's leg and pulled hard, causing him to fall off the table.

Dumbledore watched all this with a smile on his face.

"alright!"

Dumbledore said, "Some of you still don't know what this tournament is all about, so I hope those who know will forgive me for explaining it a little bit.

“The Triwizard Tournament was founded some seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe.

"The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.

“Each school selects a warrior, and then three warriors compete in three magic projects.

"But because the Triwizard Tournament was too dangerous and there were too many deaths, it had to be suspended. But this time it is different. We have several powerful magicians joining us-"

At this point, Dumbledore bowed slightly to Gryffindor.

Bruce also saw Ravenna on the other side tilting her chin towards him, her little face almost tilted up to the sky.

"——So we decided to hold the competition again, and this time, four other schools will join!

“They are: Magic House from Japan, Ouagadougou from Uganda, Castrobushe from Brazil, and Ilvermorny Magic from the United States!

“In October, principals from other schools will come with their carefully selected contenders, and the ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween.

"The contenders for Hogwarts will be decided by an impartial referee. Everyone can wait and see!"

Bruce knows what that referee is, the Goblet of Fire.

Thinking of what Ravenclaw had just said, Bruce felt a little dizzy.

I have to think of some way to get her to give up this idea!
