Hogwarts Staff Maker

Swarms of magical bats were flying on the ceiling of the auditorium. The decoration style of the four colleges was changed to a unified dark purple tone. The huge pumpkin grown by Hagrid was used again to celebrate the arrival of Halloween.

However, the focus of people's attention was not on the festival or the sumptuous dinner, but on the Goblet of Fire that was moved to the front of the hall.

The blue-white flame suddenly rose high, and then turned into a beautiful pink color. Immediately, three notes with names on them were sprayed into the air one by one.

Dumbledore read out in a clear and loud voice: "The Champion of Beauxbatons is... Fleur Delacour!"

"The one chosen for Durmstrang is... Viktor Krum!"

"Finally... the champion of Hogwarts is... Liu Sen!"

When each name was called, their respective schools erupted in cheers and applause.

Beauxbatons had the fewest voices. Several female students who were not selected seemed to be devastated and lay on the table and cried on the spot.

Krum's support was very high, and the young wizards from the three academies all cheered excitedly for the star.

Liu Sen received the most applause. After all, it was Hogwarts' home ground, and the cheers from the four colleges were deafening.

Originally, Liu Sen felt a little guilty about taking Cedric's place, but when he thought about the fact that Cedric died in the original time and space, it seemed that he had saved his life, so he felt relieved.

Since you’ve been chosen, just… have fun!

The first task of the competition is to test the courage of the contestants. The specific projects will not be announced until the official competition at the end of November.

During this period, Liu Sen continued with his scientific research projects as if nothing had happened and did not take the competition seriously at all.

From the information secretly sent back by Peter Pettigrew, he learned that this time Voldemort had turned his target towards him!

It’s not that the defense on the Goblet of Fire is too strong, but Voldemort feels that using Liu Sen’s blood is better than Harry’s when he is resurrected!

Harry's blood can only make Voldemort no longer afraid of the protective magic left by Lily, but Liu Sen's blood is likely to make Voldemort even more powerful.

Ideals are full of hope, but reality is cruel. Now 9% of the Death Eaters are Lucius Malfoy's subordinates, and the closest Pettigrew is also a traitor. In this regard, Liu Sen can only say that he wishes Voldemort good luck.

In addition, after several months of hard work, Voldemort finally moved the location of possession to the head of the alligator snapping turtle, in short... I won’t say it anymore.

Anyway, I'm glad to get a green vest, which is really cause for celebration!

The construction of the competition venue was contracted to the Galaxy Group. In order to prevent Liu Sen from knowing the challenge project in advance, Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch took great pains.

They even considered having core members such as Lupin and Sirius sign a magic contract, and the only thing left was to send someone to monitor Liu Sen 24 hours a day.

But Liu Sen said, "I'm sorry, I can predict the future." The two of them were petrified on the spot. Can predict the future? What's the point of defending against this!

In fact, preventing the Warriors from knowing the game schedule in advance is a joke.

Even though the members of the Galactic Group who were building the site kept their mouths shut, the information that Charlie Weasley was leading the dragon team was still passed to Liu Sen's ears through Ginny at the first time.

The first project is related to the fire dragon!

Principal Maxim was getting along very well with Hagrid, who was also a half-giant. Hagrid had already told the other party this information.

As for Karkaroff, this guy is sneaky all day long and no one knows what he is saying. Liu Sen is the first one who doesn't believe it.

You know, Karkaroff was also a Death Eater! When he was on trial, he shamelessly sold out a lot of his accomplices to reduce his sentence. He even reported Barty Crouch Jr.!

Therefore, Barty Crouch Jr., who was disguised as Mad-Eye Moody, always showed an extremely disgusted expression every time he met Karkaroff, and others thought that he was disgusted with the other party's identity as a Death Eater.

In fact, he was filled with resentment because the other party had betrayed his companions and abandoned his master.

The fake Moody has been asking Liu Sen indirectly recently whether he is confident about the competition and whether he needs additional guidance.

Liu Sen's eyes lit up. Little Barty's magic level was quite good, so it wouldn't be a loss to learn magic from him.

As a result, the other party was only willing to teach Liu Sen ordinary magic on the grounds that black magic could not be used in the competition.

Do I need you to teach me ordinary magic? Are you better than Dumbledore?

So Liu Sen simply ignored the other party.

……

Time flies and it is now the end of November, and the first game of the Triwizard Tournament has finally begun!

The three contestants were taken into the pre-match lounge to wait for the draw.

The famous journalist Rita Skeeter took this opportunity to sneak in with her photographer and filmed an interview with everyone one by one.

This guy is still as annoying as ever. Her self-writing feather pen is particularly good at taking things out of context. She can exaggerate a simple sentence and turn it into a piece of gossip that does not exist.

However, when it was Liu Sen's turn, she acted out of character and just asked two simple questions and that was it.

There was no other reason. Liu Sen had the final say on how much salary she could get, and as an illegal Animagus shapeshifting wizard, the power of life and death was also in the hands of Liu Sen.

Soon, the referee team consisting of three headmasters, Ludo Bagman and Crouch walked into the lounge with a small bag.

"Warriors! The first game is 'Dragon Mountain Treasure Hunt'!"

Bagman explained excitedly, "You need to find your corresponding dragon and take its most precious treasure from under its feet! You are not allowed to bring any other equipment except the magic wand! The venue will be full of rock warriors! You can get points by defeating them! In the end, the ranking will be determined based on the total score!"

"Now, let's start drawing the dragons you will face! So... ladies first!"

Furong cautiously reached her hand into the slightly trembling cloth bag. A moment later, a mini dragon appeared in her open hand with a number 2 tag tied around its neck.

It swung its tail in Furong's hand like a real dragon, and roared at everyone as if in protest.

"The second one to appear is the Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon! Not bad!" Ludo Bagman winked at her.

This is a small dragon that likes to eat sheep and livestock, and is not a big threat to wizards. Except for the fangs in its mouth, it may be the least powerful of the fire dragons.

Next up was Krum, who drew number 1. Dark green scales and two golden horns on its head—a Romanian longhorn dragon!

This must be a powerful guy. Karkaroff's face immediately turned bad.

When it was Liu Sen's turn, Bagman's eyes lit up, "There are still a few tough guys left! You should like them!" Obviously he had some understanding of Liu Sen's strength.

"Ah? There are still several?"

Liu Sen shook his head. He knew that with the intervention of the Galaxy Group, the competition would be different, but he didn't expect that the difficulty would increase from the first level.

He reached into the cloth bag and felt there were at least four more in it!

Liu Sen pinched them one by one, picked out the one that felt the best and took it out.

The little guy was a little lazy and pale all over, but the scales on his body were extremely thick, especially on his belly, which was like a reinforced breastplate.

Liu Sen recognized that this guy was a Ukrainian Iron Belly Dragon! Almost the fire dragon with the highest defense in the world!

Not only are they huge in size, but they also have strong vitality, flying ability, and fire-breathing ability. The key is that they have a strong sense of territory! They look honest, but they actually have a very bad temper!

There is a dragon in Gringotts to guard the vault! It lives well even without seeing the sun for many years! This shows how strong the Ukrainian Iron Belly Dragon is!

But this is exactly what Liu Sen wants. If it was a Chinese Fireball Dragon or a Norwegian Short-nosed Dragon, it would be terrible... they are not very strong!

There is one important thing before the game starts, and that is the wand detection!

A kind old man walked in from outside the door, and Liu Sen immediately went to greet him when he saw him.

"Master Ollivander!"

The person who came was indeed one of the three greatest wand makers in Europe, the wand-making master Ollivander!

The old man has a good impression of Liu Sen, not only because the magical Thunder Wand is in Liu Sen's hands, but also because there are so few young people who are interested in the craft of wand making!

The wand inspection also gave priority to ladies. Master Ollivander picked up the other person's wand and examined it carefully, then exclaimed:

"Not a bad wand! The core is even rarer!" He blinked, pointed at Liu Sen and said to Furong: "If you don't mind, can you let him take a look?"

Furong and several others looked at Liu Sen in confusion.

"Hehe, I also know a little about magic wands. I am even a registered disciple of Master Ollivander!" He smiled confidently at Ollivander, "Do you want to test me?"

Seeing that Furong had no objection, Liu Sen gently took the wand and skillfully turned it a few times in his hand.

"Nine and a half inches...very resilient...made of maple wood...contains...veela hair!"

Originally, Veela's hair was rarely used to make wands, and it was difficult to identify, but Liu Sen had the advantage of the plot and already knew this.

Furong showed a surprised look, "Yes! It's my grandma's hair!"

"You've done your best in identification! Very good!" Ollivander was very satisfied with Liu Sen's judgment.

He took the wand and looked at it for a few more times, then waved it and a beautiful firework appeared.

"I've never used Veela hair myself. I think it's too sensitive... But everyone has their own preferences, as long as it suits them..."

Next came Krum's wand, and Liu Sen simply stood with Ollivander.

"Hornbeam, ten and a quarter inches, very strong! Contains the chordae of the dragon's heart, right, Master?"

"That's right! Look here, and here! What did you find?"

Liu Sen thought, "This is not your style!"

"Well," said Mr. Ollivander, "if I'm not mistaken, it's the work of Gregorovitch. He's an excellent wandmaker, though his style is not quite to my taste...flowers!"

The hornbeam wand popped with a loud bang, and like a bottle of champagne, a bunch of colorful flowers appeared in front of the wand.

"It's your turn kid! I've been missing her!"

Taking the wand that Liu Sen had polished to a shiny finish, Ollivander showed a nostalgic look.

"The lightning-struck wood, the core is a bolt of lightning! Ah! I still remember the day I found her, I couldn't believe it!"

After some nostalgia, Ollivander returned the wand to Liu Sen.

"Then use her well! Don't forget, it is the wand that chooses its master, not the master who chooses the wand!"

Liu Sen looked at him tacitly, and he knew that the other party would say this catchphrase.

But then he suddenly became embarrassed and said, "Um... Master... I have other wands that need to be tested."

"Huh? You kid! Aren't you afraid that the Thunder Wand will get angry? Sigh... I shouldn't ask too much about young people's affairs. Bring it here, and I'll see which wand can be used at the same time as the Thunder Wand!"

"Hehehe...The Thunder Wand is the best! She leads the other wands!"

"…Wait a minute! Other wands? How many wands are you using at the same time!?"

Liu Sen scratched his head and put the wand box on the ground.

"Hehehe, not many, just... a little over a hundred... that's all!"
