Admiral of Hogwarts

Hagrid was very satisfied with the image Veneto designed for him. At 5:30, they set off from Hagrid's cabin to Hogwarts Castle. On the way, they happened to see Durmstrang's students getting off the boat. .

As they approached the candlelit auditorium, it was almost full. The Goblet of Fire has been moved. It now stood in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff table.

Fred and George, now bare-chinned again, seemed to have embraced their defeat and were shouting out their guesses about the contestants.

"You know, Veneto is already the student in our college who is most likely to participate in the competition." As soon as Hugo and the others sat down, senior Marietta came over and said.

"Because the Triwizard Tournament has too many combat-related events, everyone feels that compared to others, Veneto is actually the most suitable student to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

"I think so too." Hugo nodded and responded, "Even though I have experienced actual combat, Veneto will definitely be much better than me in a limited-range competition like the arena."

While everyone was discussing, the banquet started.

Although this year's banquet was a bit more sumptuous because there were guests, everyone ate very quickly because everyone had just held a banquet not long ago and were eager to see the contestants from each school.

What was surprising was that he discovered that Veneto had actually become one of the top three candidates for the most popular warrior in Hogwarts during the discussion among his classmates, the other two being Cedric of Hufflepuff and Wallins of Slytherin.

Finally, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the discussion in the audience suddenly rose——

After there was no food to stop people from talking, talk about the Goblet of Fire and the Triwizard Tournament covered the entire auditorium. Naturally, the most discussed word was the word warrior.

When Dumbledore stood up, the whole place immediately returned to silence. Whether it was the principals of the other two schools on the stage, officials from the Ministry of Magic, or the students in the audience, all focused their attention on him, and countless faces showed the same sense of anxiety.

"Well, it's time for the Goblet to be decided," said Dumbledore. "I reckon it'll take another minute. Listen, when the names of the champions are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the Great Hall and along the staff The desk goes over and goes into that room next door—" he gestured to the door behind the faculty desk, "—where they will receive initial instruction."

He took out his wand and waved it widely. Instantly, all the candles except those in the jack-o'-lantern were extinguished.

This scene actually looked quite shocking, especially in the darkness, which highlighted the Goblet of Fire burning with blue and white flames, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

Although the blue-white flames were as dazzling as electric welding, no one was willing to look away. Everyone was watching and waiting - even Ryan noticed that a few people took out their watches and looked at them from time to time.

This minute passed a bit long, and finally the flame in the goblet suddenly turned red, and crackling sparks burst out.

With a soft sound, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of parchment with obvious scorch marks on the edge was sprayed out together with a large puff of flame, which was then easily caught by Dumbledore.

Countless people's eyes were focused on Dumbledore's hand. The headmaster looked at the flames and immediately announced. "The champion of Durmstrang," he said in a clear and powerful tone, "is Viktor Krum."

It was obvious that Durmstrang was the chosen warrior, and the whole auditorium was filled with applause and cheers.

When the sounds died down a little, a second piece of parchment was sprayed out.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!"

Everything is normal now, and the butterfly effect is not as powerful as imagined. Hugo thought. He watched Fleur stand up gracefully and then walked towards the staff bench.

When 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, because now is the time to choose the host Hogwarts Warriors. .

At this time, Hugo noticed that a lot of eyes were wandering on Cedric, Wallins and Veneto. At this time, he also felt a little nervous, because he sincerely hoped that Veneto could be selected for the game at this time to deal with the complicated situation.

At this time, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks splashed, and tongues of fire shot high into the air. After this familiar process, Dumbledore pulled out the third piece of parchment from the tip of the tongues of fire. The Champion of Hogwarts," he shouted, "is Vittorio Veneto! "

Applause and cheers immediately flooded the entire auditorium, especially every Ravenclaw student who gave up their usual reserve and screamed loudly and stamped their feet, cheering the Ravenclaw students for becoming the school's warriors.

Although other colleges regretted that the warrior did not come from their side, they were convinced by the wisdom and strength Veneto had shown before.

Just when Veneto went to the small room, Hugo noticed that the principals of the other two schools also had smiles on their faces. Apparently they felt that Veneto was younger and not a match for their players.

"Great!" Dumbledore shouted happily when the noise finally subsided, "Okay, now our three warriors have been selected. I believe you will go all out to support your warriors. By cheering for the warriors, you will also make a great contribution to this event——"

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly stopped, and at the same time, everyone in the auditorium focused their attention on the burning Goblet of Fire.

The flame on the cup that should have been extinguished at this time did not go out, but turned red again, with sparks popping out. A long tongue of fire suddenly jumped into the air, and another piece of parchment was held up on it.

As if subconsciously, Dumbledore 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. Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud - "Harry Potter."

For a moment, there was deathly silence in the auditorium. But soon a buzz filled the auditorium. Many people looked at the extinguishing Goblet of Fire in surprise.

"The Goblet of Fire is broken!" Ron yelled at this time, and then there was a burst of echoing voices from the long tables in the academy.

Because everyone knows that Harry did write a parchment with his name on it, and that parchment was indeed thrown into the Goblet of Fire by Veneto before.

But the problem is that only one contestant can be selected from a school. In this case, it is obviously strange that Harry becomes the second contestant of Hogwarts.

"Quiet, be quiet." Principal Dumbledore shouted decisively, "Harry, go over there and join the other warriors first. We will go there in a while."
