Chapter 31 Chapter 31

Enthusiasm returned to the Triwizard Tournament, for a large sign had been erected in the foyer of the Great Hall, announcing that representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would arrive at six o'clock in the evening on Friday, October 10th.At that time, the students will welcome the guests and attend the welcome banquet.

The castle has undergone a general cleaning, all the picture frames and armor have been scrubbed, Amy feels that the whole castle is much brighter, and the teachers are also very nervous to remind the students not to be in Boothbaton and Durmstrang. embarrassing in front of students.

Finally, October 10th finally came, and the auditorium was completely decorated.Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor on red with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on blue with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on yellow. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is Slytherin.Behind the teacher's desk hung the largest banner with the Hogwarts coat of arms: a lion, eagle, badger, and snake joined together, surrounded by a large letter H.

In the afternoon, they finished Potions class early, put their schoolbags and books back in the dormitory, put on their cloaks and went to line up in the hall.Lavender and Parvati also dressed up, and Amy and Hermione went downstairs first.

Amy and the others stood on the lawn in front of the castle. The night air was crisp and fresh, and a white, translucent moon had already hung over the Forbidden Forest.Students are arranged in four square teams by colleges, first-year students are in the front, and they are in the back row.

Amy knew that in the book Beauxbaton came in a huge carriage, and Durmstrang came by boat from the Forbidden Lake.But she was still very excited, after all, relying on imagination is not the same as seeing the real thing.The students were eagerly discussing, and Amy heard Hermione telling Ron again that he could not apparate on the Hogwarts grounds.

She looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and suddenly a dark behemoth appeared above the Forbidden Forest, getting bigger and bigger, flying towards the castle.Flying closer, Amy saw that it was a huge powder blue carriage.It was as big as a house, and it flew in the air by twelve winged horses, silver-maned horses, each as big as an elephant.

The horse was pure gold, its mane was shiny silver, and it stretched out its huge wings. They fell to the ground with a thud, and then the carriage also landed.Amy felt the earth shake slightly.

Then she saw a woman as big as Hagrid get out of the carriage, followed by a dozen or three students, shivering in their fine silk robes in the weather.She talked with Dumbledore for a while, and then led the students into the auditorium.

Amy and the others waited for Durmstrang's people to come.Now the students looked up to the sky, expecting Durmstrang's presence.

"In the lake!" Li Jordan shouted, pointing to the lake, "Look at that lake!"

A huge vortex appeared on the calm and dark lake under the moonlight, and a long black rod-like thing slowly rose from the vortex...

"It's a mast!" said Harry to Ron and Hermione.Slowly and majestically, the great ship rose out of the water, shining brightly in the moonlight.

A group of people got off the boat, and the one walking in the front was a tall man wearing a silver-white fur cloak.

"Dumbledore!" the man shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope. "How are you, my dear old man?"

"Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.

They shook hands warmly and greeted each other, and then walked towards the hall together. Karkaroff pulled a student beside him. The man had a striking aquiline nose and two thick, black eyebrows. Amy listened Seeing Ron panting beside him, "Krum, Harry, it's Krum!"

The students were all whispering as they followed Durmstrang's delegation towards the auditorium.

"I can't believe it!" said Ron in a tone of great shock. "It's Krum, Harry! Viktor Krum!"

"For heaven's sake, Ron, he's just a Quidditch player," said Hermione.

"Just a Quidditch player?" Ron stared at her blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Hermione - he's one of the best Seekers in the world! I didn't expect him Still a student!"

A few sixth-grade girls were frantically looking for something in their pockets as they walked—"Oh, I can't believe it, I don't have a single quill with me—"

"You mean he'll sign my hat with lipstick?"

"That's ridiculous!" said Hermione haughtily, as the three of them walked past the girls arguing over a lipstick.

"I'd like to get his autographed picture if possible," said Ron. "You didn't bring a quill, did you, Harry?"

"No, it's all upstairs in my bag," said Harry.

"They're going to be here for the whole school year, Ron," Amy reassured him, "there's plenty of opportunity."

"Fine," said Ron.

They sat down together at the Gryffindor table, Beauxbatons at the Ravenclaw table, Durmstrang's at the Slytherin table, Malfoy, Clara Boo and Gore were elated by this.They saw Malfoy leaning over to talk to Krum.

Ah, yes, Malfoy was sucking up to him. said Ron tartly. "I bet Krum saw what he was at a glance... I bet Krum was being courted and flattered everywhere he went... You know, they'd fall asleep." where?We can give him a bed in our dormitory, Harry... I'll give him my bed, I'll sleep on a camp bed. ' Hermione snorted.

Then they had a richer dinner than usual, with several foreign dishes.Hermione said the seafood chowder was bouillabaisse, and Amy tried some, and it was really good, and there was an episode in the middle of the meal.

A girl from Beauxbatons came over and said, "Excuse me, do you still eat this plate of fish soup?"

She had long, silvery hair that cascaded down to her waist.A pair of big blue eyes and a mouthful of white and neat teeth.Ron's face flushed bright red.He stared at her blankly, opened his mouth to answer, but only made some strange small noises, as if his throat was stuck.

"Okay, here you go," said Harry, pushing the plate over to the girl. "Have you finished eating?" "It's over," said Ron breathlessly, "It's over, it's delicious." The girl carefully carried the plate and walked to the Ravenclaw table.Ron was still staring at the girl with wide eyes, as if he had never seen a female classmate before.Harry laughed.The sound seemed to snap Ron awake. "She's a Veela!" he said hoarsely to Harry. "Certainly not!" said Hermione sharply. "I don't see people staring at her like idiots!" She wasn't quite right.As the girl walked through the auditorium, many boys turned their heads to look at her, and several of them seemed to have lost their voice for a moment, just like Ron.

Amy giggled.

"I said, that girl is really extraordinary!" said Ron, turning sideways so that he could still see her clearly. "There's no one like that at Hogwarts!"

"The girls at Hogwarts are not bad either," Harry said without thinking.The place where Qiu Zhang was sitting happened to be a few seats away from the silver-haired girl.

"After you all look away," said Hermione curtly, "you can see who came in just now."

Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch also came.

When the banquet was over, Professor Dumbledore spoke and took the Goblet of Fire out of an old jeweled wooden box. It was a large, rough-hewn wooden goblet.The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.Dumbledore closed the box and put the cup on the lid so that everyone in the Great Hall could see it clearly. "Every student who wants to run for a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," said Dumbledore. Sign up inside. Tomorrow night, Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the Goblet will be in the foyer for all All the students have access to it.”

The next day, Amy and Harry came to have breakfast early, watching who threw their names into the Goblet of Fire, and then watched the twin brothers being thrown out by the age coil, with long growths on their chins White beard.

They giggled and went out of the castle to see Hagrid.

As if all of a sudden everyone had the message of spring, Hagrid wore his best and ugliest yellow-and-black furry suit and suffocating cologne, and he was obsessed with Beauxbaton's headmistress Upside down, the woman about his size.

On the way back to the castle, Ron glared at Hagrid and Madam Maxime in front of him and said, "If they have children in the future, they will definitely set a world record-I dare say that each of their children weighs a ton. "

The exciting time has finally arrived, and for what might be the first time, everyone isn't enjoying their Halloween dinner quite so much.They ate in a hurry, then stared at the Goblet of Fire or Dumbledore.

Finally, Dumbledore stood up, and with a wave of his wand, all the candles except those in the jack-o-lantern were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.The Goblet of Fire now emitted a dazzling light, brighter than anything else in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting out with sparks were almost dazzling.Everyone watched and waited... a few people kept looking at their watches...

The flames in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and the crackling sparks spattered.Then, a tongue of flame shot into the air, and from it flew a piece of charred parchment—all the people in the auditorium held their breaths.

Dumbledore took the parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words on it by the light of the flames.The flames were now blue and white again. "The champion of Durmstrang," he said in clear force, "is Viktorkrum."

"No surprise at all!" Ron yelled, as applause and cheers filled the hall.They saw Viktor Krum get up from the Slytherin table and walk listlessly towards Dumbledore.He turned to the right, walked along the staff desk, and entered the next room through the door.

The applause and chatter gradually subsided.Now everyone's attention was once again on the goblet, and a few seconds later the flames were red again.Pushed by the flames, the second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup. "The champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!"

"It's her, Ron!" Harry shouted, and the veela-like girl rose gracefully, and with a toss of her silver hair, it fluttered lightly from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. walk between the tables.

"Oh look, they're all disappointed," said Hermione over the din, nodding to Beauxbaton's other representatives.The two girls who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried sadly.When Fleur Delacour also entered the next room, the auditorium fell silent again, this time filled with a palpable excitement.Now it's the turn of the Hogwarts warriors...

Amy also stared nervously at the Goblet of Fire.She didn't know what she was expecting, was she expecting a different result from the book, or the same fate?

At this moment, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks sputtered, tongues of flame shot high into the air, and Dumbledore drew a third parchment from the tip of the tongue of fire. "Hero of Hogwarts," he exclaimed, "is Cedric Diggory!" The cheers from the nearby table were deafening.Every Hufflepuff was jumping up and down, all screaming and stomping, when Cedric walked past them and Amy was clapping like everyone else, looking at Cedric.Cedric caught her eye, waved to her, and with a big smile on his face, made his way to the room behind the staff desk.Indeed, the applause for Cedric lasted a long time before Dumbledore silenced everyone and listened to him.

"Great!" Dumbledore exclaimed cheerfully when the uproar finally died down. "Now, our three warriors have been chosen. I know I can count on all of you, including Beauxbatons and Other students of Durmstrang, you will definitely support your warriors with all your strength. By cheering for the warriors, you will also make a great contribution to this event—” But Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking , everyone can also see what attracted his attention.The flames in the goblet turned red again.Sparks crackled and splashed out.A long tongue of flame suddenly jumped into the air, and another piece of parchment was lifted out of it.Dumbledore stretched out a slender hand as if subconsciously, and grabbed the parchment.He held it far away, staring at the name written on it.There was a long silence, with Dumbledore staring at the note in his hand, and everyone in the Great Hall staring at Dumbledore.Then Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud - "Harry Potter."

Amy frowned, looking at the various shocked faces around her, and there was a buzzing sound in the auditorium.The classmate at the next table stood up and looked this way desperately.Amy noticed Malfoy's face looking this way with anger and jealousy.Harry sat stiff, pale. "I didn't put my name in," said Harry blankly. "You know I didn't."

"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore yelled again, "Harry! Come up here, please!"

"Go ahead," Hermione urged softly, nudged Harry lightly.

Harry stood up, stepping on the hem of his robes, tripping slightly.Then he walked towards the guest seat under everyone's gaze, even all the teachers stared at him.Amy noticed Snape staring at Harry inquiringly.Then, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape hurried to the next room.

"How could this happen?" Hermione said to Amy and Ron in shock. "What should Harry do?"

"Yeah, I don't know how he found a way to sign himself up," Ron said blushing, "I don't even know."

"Ron—" Hermione frowned, "You know Harry can't sign himself up!"

"Then who knows?" Ron stood up angrily and said, "Now he's a Hogwarts warrior again, the famous Harry Potter!"

"What?" Hermione also stood up, "Why are you so naive, Ron? You know that Harry is not such a person."

"He is now, Hermione," they argued as they walked, ignoring Amy following behind.Amy watched them quarreling, opened and closed her mouth.

"I can't believe you, Ron, don't you know Harry?" Hermione said in shock. "What's wrong with you?"

"Now you're on his side again, aren't you?" they yelled at each other as they crawled through the opening into the lounge.Pointing at Hermione, Ron said, "Always on his side? Huh? Why don't you take my word for it?"

"That's so stupid Ron, where did that come from?" Hermione said tremblingly.

"Anyway, I'm going back to the dormitory, you can wait for him here, the famous Harry Potter and his friends," Ron sneered, and turned to go to the boys' dormitory.

"Hermione," Amy tugged at Hermione's sleeve worriedly, Hermione's eyes filled with tears, she looked around, the twins and Lee Jordan were jumping up and down happily in the crowd, shouting "We have warriors, Gran Champions of Fendor,"

It seems that there is going to be a carnival here, "Oh, Amy, I don't want to stay here anymore, I'm going back to the dormitory." Hermione said listlessly.

"I'll go to the dormitory with you too," Amy said with a headache.The two went back to the dormitory together.
