HP's Impassable Time

Chapter 30 That Cup

The long-awaited Triwizard Tournament finally arrived. Today, school was over an hour early, and almost everyone from the school came to the atrium to watch the excitement.

Why almost?Because Lily didn't bother to go at all. At this time, she was nestling in Snape's office reading the black magic book that Snape customized for herself. Nepe's notes are all explanations of the principles of magic and techniques for using them.

"Apparition?" Lily whispered while looking at the book, and saw Lily's figure appear slightly illusory, and then immediately solidified again, "It seems that the spells in this book are really difficult to practice."

I tried many times, but this time it was not bad. Lily continued to study for a while, then put down the book and went to the lobby for dinner.

"Lily, why didn't I see you in the atrium just now?" Allen asked as he moved to the side when he saw Lily coming.

Lily sat down, looked at the empty plate, touched her somewhat empty stomach, "You can see it in a while, and I have to go to the atrium to get some air, so I don't want to go." Lily lay down on the clean table, and Matthew recently I don't know what's wrong, basically I don't talk to myself, even if I say a few words, it's not as lively as before.

"Where are Matthew and Abel?" At this time, the hall was not full yet, and Lily asked Alan curiously, not seeing the other two familiar figures.

"They're still in the atrium! I came back when Beauxbatons arrived, and Durmstrang's should be arriving soon." Allen looked at the time and said.

"Oh!" Lily replied listlessly, and continued to lie on the table half dead.

Allen and Joanna looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. Recently, Joanna finally took Diane to fully join Lily's small group and often went in and out together, but the relationship between Allen and Joanna was still not confirmed.

When Lily was about to recover the dead body, there was a loud noise at the door, and a large group of people poured into the dining room. At this time, it was time for dinner. Filch added two more chairs to the teacher's seat, and Durmstrang The students from Beauxbaton and Beauxbaton came in, and Matthew and Abel came back and sat down here.

"Their boat is really big, and those flying horses are as high as three meters..." Matthew said with excitement in his voice, talking to Abel about what he saw just now.

When he saw Lily, Matthew stopped discussing.

"Hi! Lily."

"Hi, Matthew."

During the conversation, Durmstrang's students all came into the hall and sat in Slytherin's seats. There were more than ten students in total, and the long table of Slytherin was completely digested.

They are almost all pure-blood wizards related to the Slytherin snakes. Lily saw them taking off their coats with fur collars, revealing their crimson school uniforms. They look very good, Bihogg Woz's simple black robe is much more gorgeous.

Draco was talking to the oldest-looking man, and Lily realized that she hadn't covered up with Draco in weeks.

And Beauxbaton's students all sat with Ravenclaw, as if Professor Flitwick had said before that he hoped that the students of his college would have academic exchanges with Beauxbaton's students.

Then the principals of the two schools entered the auditorium led by Principal Dumbledore. Beauxbaton's students stood up when they saw their principals coming in, and they didn't sit down until Principal Dumbledore took the two principals.

Lily looked at her height in surprise when the principal of Beauxbatons came in. She was taller than Hagrid. Fortunately, she didn't speak. Lily wondered if her voice would be louder than Hagrid's, " Which school's principal is this?" Lily asked in a low voice.

"Principal Olim Maxim of Beauxbatons, I heard he is a half-blood giant." Matthew replied in a low voice. At this moment, they were all shocked by Maxim's appearance, and Matthew resumed his usual Bai Xiaosheng's behavior look.

At this time, Maxim was already approaching. She had a handsome olive face, a sharp nose, a pair of big black eyes, and luxurious gemstones all over her body. She looked even taller when viewed from a close distance .

"Ladies and gentlemen, ghosts - especially distinguished guests, good evening, welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I hope and believe that you will have a good time."

When Principal Dumbledore said this, he paused, "The game will officially start after midsummer, and now please enjoy dinner to your heart's content!"

Lily saw many new dishes appearing on the dining table, including dishes made of snails and frog legs, which looked very good, but Lily didn't want to try them, but the seafood soup and lamb chops were still very good.

"Try this fish soup." Abel handed over a small dish of fish soup and cut French baguettes.

"This frog leg is also delicious." Matthew pushed the dish of frog leg towards Lily with some awkwardness.

In fact, Matthew didn't know what he was awkward about. Maybe it was because he didn't catch Lily and made her roll down the steps. He felt sorry; it might also be because Lily yelled at him and made him feel a little embarrassed. In short, all kinds of thoughts were in a mess in his head Drill, Matthew doesn't know how to face Lily.

"Thank you, Matthew." Lily looked at the frog legs sadly. It was not easy for Matthew to show his favor to him, but why did it have to be a strange-looking food like frog legs? Abel wondered when he saw Lily's expression Knowing that she probably didn't like this fried frog leg very much, but she didn't stop it. Allen was just watching the fun, and Joanna was talking to Diane in a low voice, so she didn't notice it.

Difficult to pick up a frog leg with some chopped coriander on it, Matthew squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on it, under Matthew's enthusiastic gaze, Lily put it into her mouth with difficulty, the taste was unexpectedly It's not weird, but it tastes like chicken wings, and the meat is very smooth and tender.

"It's really delicious." Lily commented after eating, and Matthew showed a smug smile, as if to say that my recommendation is not wrong.

Soon the meal time was over, and Lily squinted her eyes in satisfaction, like a meow.

Headmaster Dumbledore stood up, and Lily noticed that the two previously empty chairs were occupied.

"The triwizard hegemony is about to begin. Before we bring him in, let me say a few words." He cleared his throat and continued, "Let us first introduce, this is Barty Crouch, International Magic Exchange Director of the Cooperation Department, this is Ludo Badman, head of the Department of Magic and Sports." He pointed to the introduction of the newcomer with a serious face and a round face, and Lily remembered seeing him at the Quidditch World Cup.

"They will come together with me, Principal Karkaroff and Madam Maxim to score our contestants." The hall was quiet, and Dumbledore continued, "Now, Mr. Filch, please bring the treasure chest."

So everyone saw Filch in the corner walking up to the stage holding a big box inlaid with jewels, "You know, each school will select a warrior, and the warrior will be chosen by the impartial chosen by the Goblet of Fire."

Dumbledore tapped his wand on the treasure chest three times, then took out the cup with flames in the opened box, and put it back on the covered treasure chest so that everyone could see it more clearly.

"Applicants must write their names and schools neatly on the parchment paper, then throw the parchment paper into the cup, and put it in within 24 hours. At this time tomorrow night, the cup will select the warrior who is most qualified to represent their school. In the end, I'll draw an age circle around it, and no one under 17 can cross that line."

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became serious: "Finally, I would like to remind everyone that this competition is not just for random participation. Once selected by the Burning Cup, he or she must carry out the competition to the end. Because the name After putting it into the cup, it will naturally form a binding magic contract. Once you become a player, you can't change your mind. Therefore, before throwing your name into the cup, you must consider whether you are really ready to fight with all your heart. Okay I think it's time for everyone to rest, so I wish you good night."

When they walked to the door, Durmstrang's principal, Karkaroff, and Moody were looking at each other. Lily didn't know why they stayed at the door, did they hope everyone would notice them?

"You!" Karkaroff looked at Moody with fear and tension in his eyes.

"What's the matter with me," said Moody darkly, "if you're all right get out of the way, you're blocking the door."

Lily gave Moody a thumbs up in her heart, and then saw Karkaroff take the students away.

The next day was Saturday, and there was no class all day except for the magic pattern in the afternoon. Everyone got up early to look at the cups. When Lily arrived, she saw Fred and George covered in white beards Pop out of the circle.

"They just used aging potion, but it didn't work," a Slytherin whispered to Lily when she saw her approaching.

"Maybe they used less, not enough!" Matthew also thought of the aging agent, so he said in disbelief. He opened the potion, poured it into his mouth, stepped into the age circle under the eyes of the people around him, and quickly threw the note into the Holy Grail, but the note was blocked before flying into the Holy Grail, and he was thrown out together with Matthew , Looking at Matthew with a beard, Allen, dumbfounded, had to help Matthew to the infirmary, while Lily and the others went to eat.

Before noon, basically all the names that could be thrown in were thrown in, and the people around the cup lost interest and left.

Lily was curious about the age group, so she circled the cup there when no one was around.

"I think you'd better give up this idea." It was Professor Moody who spoke, and Lily looked at him differently. "This is a dangerous sport. You must know that even the headmasters were injured in 1792." Moody The eyes looking at the trophy seemed to be looking at some delicious food, and madness flashed in the eyes.

"Professor, I didn't..."

"No need to explain, Lily Morin, children are always curious." Moody interrupted Lily, "but be careful, danger is always everywhere." After finishing speaking, Lily left without paying attention.

Lily thinks this professor is mentally ill!Inexplicably, he got a bunch of Barabara with himself and then left again.

Although I am not afraid of seeing his appearance now, it does not mean that I can accept his strange words and deeds.

After Moody left, Lily tried to stretch her fingers into the circle, but there was no response. She thought it might be because more than a certain part of her body could be activated. Lily boldly stretched her hand in, but half of her body almost went in. However, the age circle still didn’t respond, “It’s so hard that it’s broken?” Lily walked into the circle, but there was still no response. Lily, who felt strange, murmured and looked at the cup in the middle.

The cup looks like a golden goblet, the middle is hollowed out, and the pattern is some competitive scenes. There is a blue flame in the center of the cup. Lily stretches it and it doesn’t burn people. After thinking about it, it’s all in anyway, why not just throw it away Zhang’s name was tested to see if it would be bounced away. Li took out a piece of parchment from her small bag, wrote her name and school, and slowly put it into the flames, but it didn’t pop out. Watching the flames swallow the parchment, Lily felt that she could tell Allen that their age line was broken.

"Abel, Abel." Lily, who hadn't returned to the dormitory, saw Abel wandering in the corridor and didn't know what he was doing, so she hurriedly stopped him.

"Lily? Why are you here?" Abel asked with a look of astonishment.

"I just entered the age group, and that thing seems to be broken, do you want to try it?"

"Huh? No way!" Abel didn't quite believe it, and followed Lily to the cup.

"Look." Lily stretched out a hand, but the age circle didn't respond at all.

"Really!" Abel looked very happy. He took out the note he had prepared from his pocket and walked in excitedly. Then it was popped out gorgeously. In addition to the long beard, he even grew white hair. hair.

Abel: ...

Lily: ...

What about going in?Abel looked at Lily sadly.

Lily also widened her eyes in surprise, "I really went in."

Seeing that age spots were starting to appear on Abel's face, Lily held back the urge to laugh and helped Abel up, "I'll take you to the infirmary first!"

small theater:

Lily: I don't know, maybe it's not easy to use at that time! (dry laugh)

Abel: Stare...

Lily: How about I ask someone to throw it in for you? (Basilisk should be 17 years old)

Abel: Keep staring...
