Admiral of Hogwarts

"Ms. Halsey, your analysis in this area is very good." After the company finished explaining the doubts it had observed, Moody nodded in either defiance or approval.

"As you said, the key point is not the age circle at all, but why the Goblet of Fire selected one more person." After speaking, Moody looked at Karkaroff with a caring look, and then said :

"Don't forget, he is Harry Potter. Countless people think he is hope, and many people want him to die. So letting him participate in the competition if he is not strong enough is a good way to let him die."

"We all know that Professor Moody would feel that the morning was wasted if he didn't find six people trying to murder him before lunch -" Karkaroff said loudly, but before he could finish speaking, Moody held up his cane. On his neck.

"I admit that I may have some allergies as I get older, but I can't help but see this obvious conspiracy. To be honest, this method really looks like what your past colleagues did, doesn't it?"

After speaking, Moody smiled, but his scarred face made the smile look a bit scary.

"You, what are you talking about?" Karkaroff looked a little nervous. "My job is to think about problems according to the dark wizard's thinking, Karkaroff - you should not forget..."

"Alastor, that's enough." Dumbledore saw that the situation was about to get out of control and quickly called Moody. "Don't talk about the past." After that, he looked at everyone in the house and said:

"I think Professor Halsey's guess is correct. I checked the Goblet of Fire just now and found that it has not been swapped or modified."

"In this case, I think it is possible that someone cast a particularly powerful confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire, registering Harry's name as a student of the fourth school, and ensuring that he was the only candidate for that school. And this powerful magic As far as I know, the spell cannot be cast by young wizards, and their magic power reserves are simply not enough to cast the spell completely."

After listening to Dumbledore's words, several people nodded subconsciously. Except for extremely rare people like Veneto who have special opportunities, most wizards in this world have the magic power of adults when they are minors. All increase with age.

Harry Potter's previous performance in school shows that he is no different from ordinary wizards in this regard, so it is impossible to use magic to change a powerful magic item like the Goblet of Fire.

"But what should we do about this unfair situation now? The Goblet of Fire has been extinguished, and it is impossible to select more warriors." Mrs. Maxim said angrily, glaring.

"But we must abide by the charter. The charter clearly stipulates that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Others cannot."

Mr. Crouch stood outside the light of the fire, his face half hidden in shadow, looking a little strange. However, the tone of his voice was as stiff and cold as usual.

"Hey, Barty knows the regulations by heart." Bagman said, with a smile on his face, and turned back to look at Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim. It seemed that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

"I insisted that my other students re-enroll," Karkaroff said. His voice was no longer smooth, his smile disappeared, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

"You must put the Goblet of Fire out again, and we will continue to add names to it until each school produces two warriors. This is only fair, Dumbledore."

"I actually think now is the fairest time," Moody said equally loudly. "Because there are only two fourth-year students from Hogwarts participating, and the event is an individual competition, not a competition by school, so your two schools have an advantage."

"And to be fair, this competition is the most unfair to Harry." Enterprise sighed.

"Don't forget, the other three contestants here at least made their own decisions knowing the dangers of the competition. Only Harry did not."

"But he shouldn't have anything to complain about." Fleur Delacour couldn't help but ask, while stamping her feet, "He has a chance to participate in the competition, right?"

"For weeks we have been hoping that we would be chosen! Bring honor to our school! And receive a thousand galleons in prize money - an opportunity that many only dream of!"

"But I believe Harry would rather stand in the stands than participate in this kind of competition." Enterprise shook his head and said. "His own reputation is enough, and he also doesn't lack the 1000 galleons."

"Okay, everyone, calm down." Seeing the noisy people, Dumbledore coughed and said. "Now if any of you have a solution, please speak up."

After saying that, Professor Dumbledore was waiting there. But at this time, everyone fell silent. Even Karkaroff, who had been the noisiest just now, shut his mouth and looked at the others with indignant eyes.

"Are you coming or am I coming?" Bagman asked his colleagues. At this time, Mr. Crouch, who had been in a daze just now, seemed to suddenly wake up and stood up, and then walked to the fire.

"Okay," he said, "Guidance. Yes...first project..."

Barty Crouch seems a little sluggish, but he has been really busy at work recently, so it's not surprising that this happens. This happens every few years, at least in the eyes of Ministry officials.

"The first project is to test your courage," he said to a large number of warriors: "So we are not going to tell you what it is, because daring to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards, well, no Wrong, it’s very important. I think you’ll know what it is soon—”

"The first project will be carried out on November 11, in front of other students and the jury."

"When completing the game, the warrior is not allowed to ask for or accept any help from his teacher. When the warrior faces the first round of challenges, the only weapon in his hand is his own wand.

They won't learn about the second project until the first one is over. Due to the high demands and long duration of the competition, the warriors do not participate in school year examinations. "

After finishing speaking, Mr. Crouch turned and looked at Dumbledore. "I guess that's all, Albus?"

"Yes," Dumbledore said, looking at Mr. Crouch with some concern. "Are you sure you don't want to stay at Hogwarts tonight, Barty?"

"Maybe this is the only way, because we have a lot of things to do at this time." Crouch shrugged helplessly, and then walked out of the room with Bagman, who wanted to stay for a drink tomorrow.

After watching the two Ministry of Magic officials leave, Dumbledore turned his head and extended the same invitation to the other two headmasters. It's a pity that the two principals didn't appreciate it, and they all hurriedly left with their students.

"Then you go back to the dormitory quickly." Dumbledore said, looking at Veneto and Harry with a smile.

"I believe that Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students are waiting to celebrate with you. They finally have an excuse to make a fuss, and it would be inappropriate to take away this opportunity from them. .”
