I, Hogwarts Second Week

In the evening, when everyone returned to the auditorium.

The decoration of the auditorium has changed again. Because it was Halloween, a swarm of live bats flew around the enchanted ceiling, while hundreds of little pumpkin figures leered at everyone from every corner.

The benches were almost full.

The Goblet of Fire had been moved and now stood in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff table.

The Halloween dinner seemed to take much longer than usual, maybe because it was a party for two consecutive days and everyone wasn't as excited as usual.

People in the auditorium kept looking up, with anxious expressions on every face.

Everyone was restless and stood up from time to time to look at the small door next to the podium to see if Dumbledore had come.

Even the Hogwarts choir led by Professor Flitwick performed Halloween-themed songs, and no one was interested in watching them.

“Don’t be afraid of hard work and don’t be afraid of trouble~”

"The boiling foam in the cauldron has turned into waves~"

“Don’t be afraid of hard work and don’t be afraid of trouble~”

"Some evil things are coming this way~"

A strange accent, accompanied by bursts of frog calls.

A few candles on the podium were burning with green light, and the Halloween atmosphere was immediately filled.

"Eye of Salamander and Frog Toe~"

"The hair of the bat and the teeth of the dog~"

"A viper's tongue is like a forked earthworm's thorn~"

"Lizard's Feet and Owl's Wings~"

“Don’t be afraid of hard work and don’t be afraid of trouble~”

"Some evil things are coming this way~"

"Crack!!!"

A loud thunder exploded in the sky.

Then the pouring snow whizzed down like goose feathers.

Strong winds shook the earth, whether it was Hogwarts or the small town of Hogsmeade at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, it was the night when a grand party was held in the castle.

Located in a remote place in Hogsmeade Village, somewhere in a dry well, a sound of curses suddenly came from.

"I really don't know why the secret passage leads here!"

The voice was very sharp, accompanied by a strange tone, and said angrily.

Just listening to the sound makes people wonder, could the thing that makes such a sound be human?

It jumped out of the dry well.

"Oh! Damn it, it's snowing. It's so cold in this shitty place!"

White breath came out of his mouth.

And under him, another one also crawled out.

The creature had gray hair, a wrinkled forehead, a large and pointed nose, and two long, pointed ears.

"Do your job, Alan!" he said.

When he opened his mouth, a mouth full of fangs was exposed.

Both creatures are very short in stature, only reaching the calf of an adult wizard.

With just a glance, a wizard can identify them.

Two goblins!

"Don't cause trouble. Goblins haven't appeared here for more than a hundred years. Once we are discovered, we will attract attention, especially Dumbledore!"

Speaking of Dumbledore's name, the old elf couldn't help but frown.

For them, the Hogwarts Headmaster was undoubtedly a huge problem.

"So what?" The young goblin named Allen dismissed it. He smiled disdainfully, with a talisman on his chest shining brightly.

He arranged his clothes.

It was a piece of leather armor with armor made of unknown metal on the chest.

In addition, he also wears a metal helmet on top of his head.

Exposed pointed ears.

"More than a hundred years have passed. Even Dumbledore was only born at that time. No one in that castle knows its past history." Allen said contemptuously. Standing on the stone next to the dry well, it looked at the brightly lit Hogwarts Castle on the mountain from a distance.

There was a strange red light in his eyes.

"Be cautious, Allen! Be more cautious! Don't attract anyone's attention before you get those things."

The old goblin was obviously very dissatisfied with Allen's performance.

He said in a rough voice, "Dumbledore is no weaker than the previous heirs, on the contrary, he is smarter! Do you think we are dealing with that Black?"

"Put your hood on!" it yelled angrily.

Hearing the sound - the young man, although he was aggrieved, still grabbed the hood behind his head.

Wrap your head hard.

Then the two of them joined hands, wrapped themselves in thick black robes to hide everything under the robes, and then quietly walked along the marble streets into Hogsmeade Village.

“Don’t be afraid of hard work and don’t be afraid of trouble~”

"The boiling foam in the cauldron has turned into waves~"

“Don’t be afraid of hard work and don’t be afraid of trouble~”

"Some evil things are coming this way~"

"Quack! (The Last Toad)"

With a cry of toad, the choir's performance officially ended.

At this time, the three principals, Grindelwald, who was transformed into Vice Principal Durmstrang, the Minister of Magic, the Vice President of the Federation, and a large group of senior officials finally walked out of the small door one after another and appeared on the rostrum.

They were talking to each other, or whispering.

They are all waiting for the Goblet of Fire to choose the champion.

About five more minutes passed.

The blue glow of the Goblet of Fire suddenly grew brighter.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up and waved his hand downwards, "Please pay attention, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision!"

"I guess it's going to take another minute, but listen, once the Warriors' names are announced, I want them to go to the top of the auditorium, walk along the staff table, and go into that room next door where they will get their initial instruction!"

He pointed to the door behind the faculty desk, and everyone looked there.

Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it widely.

Immediately, all the candles except those in the jack-o'-lantern were extinguished.

The auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness. The Goblet of Fire now emits a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium. The blue-white flames bursting with sparks are simply dazzling.

Everyone was watching and waiting, and many people kept looking at their watches.

Without any warning, the flame in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out.

Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it.

Everyone in the auditorium held their breath and looked at the note.

Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words on it by the light of the flames.

At this time, the flame returned to blue-white color.

"Durmstrang's champion!" he said clearly and forcefully, "Victor Krum."

Instantly, applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium.

"Not surprising at all!" Ron shouted. "Krum, you deserve it."

"By the way, where are Owen and Hermione?" He turned his head and looked at Harry.

"I don't know, I haven't seen them all afternoon," Harry responded.

Then Viktor Krum, who was sitting on the Slytherin bench, slowly stood up.

He glanced at Grindelwald, who had a dull expression on the rostrum, rather complicatedly.

It felt like a heavy weight was weighing down my heart.

Then, turn right, walk along the staff table, and enter the next room through that door.

The applause and chatter died down, and everyone's attention was now once again focused on the Goblet of Fire.

After a few seconds, the flames turned red again.

The second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup, propelled by the flames.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons!" said Dumbledore. "It's Fleur Delacour!"

Hearing the sound, Fleur stood up gracefully and shook her silver hair.

Under the complicated eyes of all the Beauxbatons wizards, they walked towards the next room.

Hogwarts applauded her enthusiastically, especially Harry and Ron.

But Beauxbatons was not that lively. Except for her sister Gabrielle, who screamed with joy, no one seemed to care about her.

After Fleur Delacour also entered the next room, the auditorium became quiet again.

This time the silence was filled with a strong excitement that could be tasted. Now it is the turn of the warriors of Hogwarts...

"It must be Angelina! It must be Angelina!" Harry prayed.

As a Gryffindor card, their only remaining warrior is Angelina, who is now the Quidditch captain.

"Hey, why can't it be us." Gemini said displeased.

"Okay." Ron made a face and scolded his two brothers. He had just received a letter from his mother. In the letter, she scolded him severely and said that he was too whimsical to think about biting his elders. If so, there would be no treasure or any secret at all in the family. The only secret might be that the family is too poor to uncover the truth.

"Even if you could put your names into the Goblet of Fire, it wouldn't choose you two because you're not good enough!"

Ever since the twins broke Lao Dengtou's magic.

Almost hundreds of people in the castle threw their names into the Goblet of Fire.

But investing does not mean you will be selected.

The Goblet of Fire will take into account the strongest young wizard in the school.

"What did you say, Ronald." The twins narrowed their eyes slightly, casting dangerous glances instantly.

And Ron responded without any fear.

Seeing a Weasley battle about to take place.

Suddenly the Goblet of Fire turned red again.

Sparks exploded, tongues of fire shot high into the air, and Dumbledore pulled out the third piece of parchment from the tip of the flames.

"The Champion of Hogwarts!" he shouted, "Cedric Diggory!"

"Oops!" Ron shouted.

The cheers from the table next to them were deafening, and every Hufflepuff was jumping up and down, screaming and stamping their feet.

At this moment, Cedric walked past them, smiling broadly, toward the room behind the staff desk.

After Owen, Granger and even Harry decided not to become warriors, Cedric was indeed the best.

No one doubted the strength of the Hufflepuff prefects around them.

However, what makes everyone in Gryffindor unhappy is why the warriors of Hogwarts are not their Gryffindors.

But if this is the case, as everyone in Gryffindor who has always been with Hufflepuff, they still applauded him, even if Ron kept calling Cedric a pretty boy.

Because he is so handsome. Moreover, he always caused trouble for them in Quidditch matches. Although it might not necessarily be effective, his constant adjustments to tactics and new ways of playing still gave Harry and the others a headache.

Fortunately, Hogwarts won't be holding the Quidditch Cup this year, and I'm also glad that Cedric will graduate next year.

————

The applause given to Cedric has not yet completely fallen, and everyone in Hogwarts is still cheering.

There was another movement from the Goblet of Fire.

Sparks crackled, and then a piece of burning parchment fell into Dumbledore's hands.

"Ilvermorny." He said loudly, his eyes instantly falling on the silver-haired girl, "Coatl Stewart!"

In an instant, as if the fire was extinguished, the deafening applause in the entire auditorium stopped for the most part, and they all put their hands away in perfect agreement.

The faces of the little wizards at Hogwarts changed suddenly, and most of them sneered at the ridiculously beautiful girl.

It looks like news of the morning's events has spread throughout the school.

Even Slytherin expressed his displeasure with the woman.

And their theory is quite simple.

At Hogwarts, there is only one house that can show off its power, and that is me, Slytherin.

From what corner did you emerge and dare to steal our limelight here?

In the auditorium, except for the little wizards from Ilvermorny who were clapping their hands vigorously, even Professor Eulali was a little uneasy.

However, the girl with the strange name of Koyatel didn't care at all about the sudden desertion around her.

She stood up with a sneer and walked past the podium like a god patrolling the ignorant mortals.

"Okay." Seeing the sudden coldness in the auditorium, Dumbledore withdrew his gaze. As his cheerful voice sounded again, the atmosphere in the auditorium finally returned to normal.

"Now that our four warriors have been selected, I know that I can completely rely on all of you, including Beauxbatons, Durmstrang and other students in Ilvermorny, to support you with all your strength. Warriors. By cheering for the warriors, you will also make a great contribution to this event."

Said.

Suddenly Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking, and everyone saw what attracted his attention.

The flame in the Goblet of Fire turned red again, and the flames surged crazily. A long tongue of flame suddenly jumped into the air, and another piece of parchment was held up on it.

Dumbledore subconsciously stretched out a slender hand and grabbed the parchment.

He held it far away and stared at the name written on it.

There was a long silence as Dumbledore stared at the note in his hand. Everyone in the auditorium stared at Dumbledore.

This is really surprising. All four warriors were selected, why did parchment still appear from the Goblet of Fire.

In an instant, Moody stood up on the rostrum.

His magic eyes moved crazily.

The faces of the other two principals also looked pretty.

As for Babajide Ajinbade of the Federation, he was more shocked.

Barty Crouch frowned.

Goblet of Fire gone wrong?

You must know that this thing has been kept in the Ministry of Magic. If there is a problem, it is the problem of the Ministry of Magic.

After a few seconds, Dumbledore cleared his throat in the silence and read aloud, "Hermione Granger!"

? ? ?

ha?

Hermione is a warrior?

Almost subconsciously, everyone turned to look at the Gryffindor bench.

Ron and Harry sat stunned.

The twins also looked at Dumbledore with wide eyes and disbelief.

In a daze, they even misheard a word. Hermione actually became a warrior? !

It wasn't until they saw countless looks that they realized this was true.

"Haha!!! We won!"

After being confused at the beginning, Harry came to his senses and opened the champagne at halftime - no - he opened the champagne without even starting.

Then there was an astonishing uproar on the Gryffindor benches.

"Long live Granger!" someone shouted.

"Long live Gryffindor!"

Then as if on a signal, all the Gryffindors shouted, "Long live Granger!"

"Granger is our king!!"

"We're going to win, we're going to win!!"

No one doubts Miss Granger's strength. As the eldest sister of Hogwarts, Percy once said that unless five or six seventh-year students sneak up on her at the corner of the corridor, he can't think of any way to defeat Granger. Ranger's method.

While Gryffindor was full of joy, other houses were completely out of control!

The Slytherins immediately stood up and shouted, "They cheated!"

"The damn Mudblood used the same despicable method as that Weasley to throw his name into the Goblet of Fire."

"We demand that she be kicked out—"

Before he could finish his words, the Gryffindor wizard stood up and responded, "What the hell do you think you are? How dare you point fingers here!"

"Come on, come on, I will throw your name into the Goblet of Fire. Do you think the cup will take care of you?"

The twins, who were lying on their guns for no apparent reason, looked up at the old lion - Merlin's coffin board. Are you mocking us?

Yes or no!

"Hmph - cheating academy, do you dare to do it but don't admit it? Then tell me how old she is this year. If you are smart enough!"

"It's none of your business. If you have the ability, you can break through the magic restrictions left by Dumbledore! In the end, you are still rubbish. All you can do is be incompetent and furious. It really embarrasses our Hogwarts! I propose to expel Slytherin. Get out of school!”

"What did you say!!!"

"Did I say you don't have ears?"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!! A group of despicable and shameless guys, with low bloodline, they really don't have anything good to offer!"

"Ouch! Look, he's in a hurry - he's in a hurry - he's in a hurry."

"grass!"

At this point, everything is meaningless.

There is no need to talk about the grudges that have been endured for more than half a year.

Pick up the guy, fuck him and that's it.

"Torn apart!!!"

A dazzling curse flew from Slytherin House and exploded the chair under Gryffindor's butt.

Many first and second grade wizards had no time to react and were thrown to the ground.

"Hit him!" the twins yelled, and took out a lot of black iron balls from their pockets. They were their new small fireworks. Ability to light up in the room and watch a small fireworks show.

But at this time, the debugging should not have been completed. The sparks were not ordinary, and many Slytherins were burned.

The next second, the Hufflepuffs sandwiched between the two houses took out their magic spells in a tacit understanding and cast armor spells while moving towards the Ravenclaws leaning against the wall.

Alas - they're all used to it.

The two academies fight several times every year, and the little badgers have already gained experience.
