Parents of Hogwarts

The next day was Saturday. It was a weekend that finally arrived. Steve usually had to sleep in, but this time he got up very early and spent an extra half day doing ink, which forced him to wake up Gaspard.

When it was Callan's turn for the wake-up call, he sat up in a daze, but he didn't get up to watch the Goblet of Fire.

"I made an appointment with Lily and Snape,"

He said half-awake: "We're going to the Three Broomsticks for a drink with Ariana and asking how she's doing."

The two were not familiar with Ariana, so they left the dormitory and hurried to the auditorium for breakfast.

Five minutes later, Karan also got dressed. He walked to the door of the auditorium and met Snape, Lily, and Ariana wearing a hijab as expected.

"You came really late." Lily said anxiously, "Let's go quickly, it's not convenient to talk here."

A thin layer of white snow fell on the castle grounds. The four of them walked out of the castle gate. Before they could go further, they started chatting on the road.

"What's going on with Vivian?" Lily couldn't help but ask, "Between you and her...?"

"It's her!" Ariana suddenly said: "She was the one who refused to let me go first, but Vivian is really strange. She seems to know everything, but she refuses to tell her. I also sneaked out to let her go. Didn’t find a chance to follow us.”

Snape heard something strange, but Karan muttered: "If it wasn't strange, she wouldn't be called Vivian."

Immediately afterwards, Ariana explained more things. It was indeed arranged by Principal Dumbledore that she went to Beauxbatons. Aberforth had been accompanying her, and Percival was also with her. In this way, she did not need to There are more opportunities to show off at Hogwarts.

In addition, Ariana does not need to throw her name into the Goblet of Fire. She will not participate in the Triwizard Tournament. According to her words, if she is really selected, it will not matter to other players. So unfair.

All three agreed with Ariana's idea.

Although today is the weekend, because it happened to be the registration time for the Triwizard Tournament, there were not many guests in Hogsmeade. They stayed at the Three Broomsticks for a while, and then walked around the village with Ariana. Walking away, this was the first time she walked openly on the street. Although she had had similar experiences before, she was much more cautious than this time.

Lily and Ariana walked in front, with Callan and Snape following behind them.

"Speaking of which, according to the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, a Christmas dance is usually held." Karan seemed to mention intentionally or unintentionally: "The fourth-year students will definitely attend the dance by then. Don't forget your That dress, Snape."

Snape was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what this meant and became even more silent.

"I'm really curious who you will invite?" After hearing the news, Lily turned around and asked, "Is your good boy a wand?"

Ariana laughed along.

Karan curled his lips and said: "How could I participate in such a boring activity as the dance? Unless I am selected as one of the warriors, I will definitely reject everyone's invitations."

"One of the warriors?" Ariana looked at him confused.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Karan also revealed his and Meadows' plan.

"It's hard to say whether I will be chosen as a warrior. If someone wants to harm me, this will be a great opportunity, and there are many such enemies. For this reason, Meadows has been staring at the Goblet of Fire all night. To avoid anyone throwing my name into the mix, you saw her just now and she was still here this morning.”

Lily covered her mouth in surprise: "Would anyone really do this?"

Karan nodded affirmatively.

The four of them had a good stroll around Hogsmeade, and Aberforth finally returned to the Hog's Head Bar. They sat there for a while without saying anything else, and then they spent a long time in the Gobstone Shop. In the wizarding chess of time, Mrs. Prince became happier after seeing Ariana and felt that her son had made more friends.

It was already afternoon when they returned to Hogwarts. Several people separated on the road. Callan found Steve and Guspard. The two were recording the status of the students who had thrown their names into the Goblet of Fire. Callan I also saw Greta Kachlov's name on the notebook.

"If this is a food magic competition, Greta will definitely win." Steve said with a longing expression: "It would be great if there really was such a competition, I must be the referee!"

Neither of them commented on Steve's daydream, but Karan really wished there could be such a food competition.

Gespard pointed to the notebook and said: "The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang all put their names in, and no place was wasted, but I always feel that they should know who will become the warrior before they come here. ”

Gespard's analysis was correct. Every school has some particularly dazzling students. At Durmstrang it was Adam, and at Beauxbatons——

Karan successfully found Vivian's name in the notebook, and it seems that she is also willing to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

"We'll know the result tonight," Karan said.

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

The Halloween dinner ended in an anxious mood. Meadows looked a little tired. She had not closed her eyes all night, and she had been staring at the Goblet of Fire during the day. It was only now that she finally rested.

Karan nodded his head at Meadows from a distance, and Meadows responded with a special gesture, which showed that there were no problems during the entire registration process, and no suspicious wizards appeared out of nowhere.

Finally, Dumbledore stood up in front of everyone, and the auditorium suddenly became silent.Ms. Victoria and Ms. Maxim on either side of him looked as nervous as everyone else, but also full of expectations.

"Well, the Goblet is about to make its decision," said Dumbledore. "I reckon it will take another minute. Listen, when the names of the champions are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the hall and walk along the staff The desk goes over into the adjoining room—" He pointed to the door behind the instructor's desk, "—they'll get their initial instructions there."

He took out his wand and gave it a wide swing.Immediately, except for those candles in the jack-o-lantern, the rest of the candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.The Goblet of Fire was shining brightly now, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-and-white flames of sparks were dazzling.Everyone was watching, waiting... Several people kept looking at their watches...

The flame in the goblet 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.

Dumbledore caught the parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words on it by the light of the flames.The flames now returned to blue-white color.

"The champion of Durmstrang," he said clearly and forcefully, "is Adam Vane."

Venn is Adam's surname, which comes from his father who was killed by Grindelwald.

Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium. Callan saw Adam stand up. His mother Victoria was waiting for him. She hugged him hard and pushed him to the next room.

"It's not surprising at all," Steve said, and many others had the same idea.

The applause and conversation gradually subsided.Everyone's attention was now on the goblet again, and after a few seconds the flames turned red again.The second parchment leaped out of the cup, propelled by the flames.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Vivian Ambrosius!"

Ambrosius?

Only then did Karan know Vivian's last name, but he was not surprised at all that Vivian became a warrior. She definitely had the qualifications.

But Ambrosius... is obviously Merlin's own surname...

He raised his head and glanced at each other from a distance, and both sides saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Vivian received much louder applause than Adam, mostly from boys. They had already seen this beautiful girl who seemed not to exist, and they all applauded desperately.

"She is so beautiful." Mary said enviously.

Lily snorted weirdly, and the sharp-eyed Ma Lin immediately teased her: "Hey, Lily is actually jealous. She is jealous of the cute little Mary."

"I didn't." Lily denied firmly.

When Vivian also disappeared into the auditorium hall, the auditorium became quiet again. This time, the silence was filled with intense excitement that could be tasted.Now it’s the turn of the Hogwarts Warriors...

At this moment, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks splattered, and the tongue of fire soared high into the air, and Dumbledore drew a third parchment from the tip of the tongue.

Callan suddenly saw that Dumbledore's eyes became as solemn as those of him and Meadows.

"The Champions of Hogwarts..."

Dumbledore said, without a smile on his face.

He looked at Karan.

"Karan Sangster."

There were no cheers or applause. Many people applauded subconsciously, but they were quickly pulled down by others: "Did I hear correctly? Isn't Karan a fourth-grade student? He is not an adult yet."

Meadows stood up suddenly, his expression showing disbelief and more anger.

Steve looked at Karan in horror. He would rather believe that the Food Magic Competition would never be held, rather than see Karan become a person who is willing to break the rules to show his face.

Gaspard silently pushed up his glasses.

"Didn't you do it?" he asked in a low voice.

"I did not do that."

Callan replied before he stood up as well and walked across the auditorium in silence.

He looked at Dumbledore and said nothing, but he did see his name written on the note in Dumbledore's hand.

Meadows was already standing on the edge of the teacher's table. When Karan walked over, she whispered: "I dare to make 1 promises that no fake guy has ever thrown a note into the Goblet of Fire. ."

"Where's Moody?" Callan asked in the same low voice, and he and Meadows walked towards the door of the next room.

"Dumbledore has done many checks on Moody, and I would not agree with it." Meadows said in a heavy tone: "But there is nothing wrong with Moody. He has not been impersonated, nor has he used Soul Seizing. curse."

Karan was silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's see first and then talk."

He walked into the room alone and came to a small room with portraits of wizards hanging on the walls on both sides.In the hearth opposite him a fire was burning brightly.

Adam and Vivian were gathered around the fire.

Vivian was looking out the window, and Adam was leaning on the mantelpiece in deep thought. The distance between the two of them was a bit far.

When Karan appeared, they both looked back at him at the same time, and then showed confused expressions at the same time, but the expressions were slightly different - Adam frowned habitually, and Vivian felt ridiculous. Ha" said.

"so,"

She wrapped her fingers around the long hair that fell on her shoulders: "You are the warrior of Hogwarts. I didn't expect us to face each other so soon. I hope you will be a good opponent."

Adam's words were much shorter than Vivian's.

"Are you an adult?" he asked.

Whether compared to Vivian or Adam, Karan's height is shorter than them.And it's not just his height. He doesn't look like an adult wizard at all. His appearance is really too childish.

Karan shook his head silently, and Adam's brows suddenly frowned deeper.

"If you entered your name against the rules," Adam said, "I think it's still too late for you to regret it. No one will blame you for this. After all, this is the Triwizard Tournament. It only shows that Dumbledore is not like Dumbledore." Rumor has it that it’s so... rigorous.”

He used a conservative adjective.

Adam did seem to mean well, which made Kaland look at him a few more times.

After thinking carefully for a while, Karan decided to tell the truth; "I did not participate in the competition, nor did I ask anyone to help me put my name into the Goblet of Fire. Someone else must have put my name in."

After saying these words, he carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the two people.

The expressions of Vivian and Adam have changed, but they both seem to be a little distrustful of Karan, obviously taking this as Karan's excuse for exculpation.

"Then just change to a warrior." Vivian said lightly: "If it's still too late."

Adam nodded gently: "I agree, why don't we go find the principals now and see if they can re-elect a warrior."

Both of them had plans to leave the room, and Karan quickly decided to follow them. Whether successful or not, he wanted to carefully observe the reactions of these two people.

Because if Meadows is right, the people who put his name into the Goblet of Fire can only be players who have signed up in public, and only those people have the chance to get close to the Goblet of Fire.

Just as they reached the door, Dumbledore suddenly strode in. He suddenly looked at Callan with an unprecedented serious expression.

"There is one thing that maybe I should tell you personally."

He said, moving his body away, revealing the anxious figure behind him.

"A fourth warrior appears in the Triwizard Tournament."

"Lily Evans."
