The Secret History of Platinum

After exchanging strange greetings, the principals of the three schools finally planned to enter the castle.

The students of Beauxbatons, who looked relaxed in thin clothes, and the serious students of Durmstrang, who wore thick cloaks, entered the auditorium together with the students of the host, Hogwarts.Since Hogwarts did not set up separate long tables for these two schools, they chose to sit at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin long tables with fewer people.The teachers from the two schools and the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Magic of the two countries sat on the professor's chair accompanied by the officials from the British Ministry of Magic and the professors from Hogwarts who arrived just in time.

As host, Dumbledore delivered a speech of welcome to both schools.In the eyes of everyone expecting at the end, he finally got to the point: "There will be three warriors participating in the competition this year, and they will represent the three participating schools. We will give grades according to the quality of each event they have completed. The three competitions At the end of the project, the warrior with the highest score will win the championship. It is an impartial selector who is responsible for selecting the warrior, and it is the Goblet of Fire."

All eyes were focused on the quaint fire goblet with flames dancing inside it placed in front of the professor's chair.

"Every student who wants to become a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of sheepskin and put it into the Goblet of Fire. Tomorrow night, which is Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will select the best representative The names of the three warriors from the three schools. The Goblet of Fire will be placed in the hall tonight, and all students who want to participate in the competition can get in touch with him."

Dumbledore saw that some people were already eager to try, and he smiled and said the next thing that was enough to make some people lament: "Considering the danger of the competition, all schools agree that you must be 17 years old to sign up." Dumbledore Lido waved his wand, and a white line appeared beside the Goblet of Fire, "This is an age limit, and anyone who has not reached the age of 17 cannot cross this line."

As soon as Dumbledore's words came out of his mouth, some people indeed lamented loudly, and many lower grade students who had dreamed of becoming warriors also looked depressed.

"Principal Dumbledore." Someone from the professor's seat spoke.

Dumbledore turned his head and looked over, his blue eyes hidden behind the lenses flickered slightly, and it was Gellert who spoke.Even when the two were engaged in the well-known duel, Gellert called him Albus, and now the name "Principal Dumbledore" came out of Gellert's mouth, which made Dumbledore feel bad for a while.

"Honorary Principal Grindelwald, do you have any suggestions?" Dumbledore also replaced Gellert, who was about to be exported, with the title of Gellert.

"There is a famous saying in the far east that heroes come from young men since ancient times. I don't think the true warriors in the top three must be 17 years younger." Gellert saw that Dumbledore was about to speak, and he went on to say: " I think you can keep your age line, and if there are students who are under 17 but have outstanding ability to cross this age line, you can also allow him to participate in the selection."

"Mr. Honorary Principal said so." Karkaroff on the side hurriedly said.

Mrs. Maxim didn't care about this suggestion either. She also brought students under the age of 17 this time. If some of them can successfully sign up, she will be happy to see it.

Since the other two schools did not object, Hogwarts, as the host, would not object either. It is the host that is most beneficial to this proposal.

Dumbledore loudly announced this as a supplementary rule, and many underage students were eager to try it, even the always reserved Slytherin was no exception.

"Abu, will you sign up?" Draco softly asked Abu who was sitting next to him. In front of outsiders, their address and attitude towards getting along have not changed, and they still look like a pair of very good friends.

"Not interested." Abramovich's answer was very succinct. At this moment, he was receiving the baptism of at least two fiery gazes. Heinz's gaze was somewhat joyful, and Voldemort's angry gaze after the snake's territory was invaded, There is also Gellert's eyes from time to time, which makes Abu's meal very painful.

"Why? If you sign up, you will definitely be selected." Draco knew that Abramovich's age and strength would definitely pass the selection of the Goblet of Fire.

"I'm not the strongest." Abramovich's eyes inadvertently swept over Salazar Slytherin, who was sitting in the second-year chief position.The top three will be the battleground for the decisive battle, but not all the power is put on the bright side.I believe that the special training given to the savior by the founder of Gryffindor who was expelled by Salazar during the summer vacation should make Harry Potter competent as a Hogwarts warrior.

"But I'd love to." Draco whispered.

"If you can be selected, I will give you special training." Abu encouraged at the right time, children still have to be self-motivated.Draco certainly wouldn't be chosen, but there's still a lot to learn by asking him to think about breaking the age barrier.

"Then it's settled."

Compared with the eager and excited students on the long tables in the auditorium, the atmosphere on the professor's bench was very awkward.When everyone knew that the honorary principal of Durmstrang was actually Gellert Grindelwald, not everyone could maintain their original mentality and continue to eat and socialize.At such times, then the Hogwarts Potions professor with the elegant Cutter Steak won the respect and admiration of many people.

If you have eaten countless meals at the same table with the first and second generation devil kings, you would have regarded them as air. This is the inner monologue of the Potions professor surrounded by everyone's admiring eyes.

At the end of the long banquet, the professors breathed a sigh of relief, and they all planned to go back and drink some potions to cure stomach pain. The pressure of eating at the same table with a famous devil is not so great.

"Please wait for Principal Dumbledore." When parting, Gellert stopped Dumbledore again.

Dumbledore looked at Gellert.

Gellert carefully reported to Aubrey, the elf who had fallen asleep, "You know that old people always want to have relatives and friends by their side. I came here from the cold Germany, and I want to have relatives and friends to accompany me. .”

Dumbledore had some expectation in his heart, but he suppressed it. "Mr. Grindelwald, what do you plan to do?"

"I wish you would allow my son to accompany me back to the ship."

son?Dumbledore's breath was stagnant, and he tried his best to ignore the loss in his heart.

"Yes, my son." Gellert motioned for Abu, who had been left behind by his eyes, to come forward. "My son, Abu, is now a third-year student at Hogwarts, and I appreciate your care."

Abu pulled out a fake smile, which seemed to be mocking Dumbledore.

Dumbledore remembered that he had used Dementor to test this child. At that time, he could only judge from some clues that he was Gellert's grandson.Now it seems that what he saw at that time were all false scenes, which the child deliberately let him see.To be able to use Occlumency so proficiently, should he really be worthy of being Gellert's son?

"Of course, Mr. Grindelwald Jr. is a very good student, and I am very proud to be his principal."

The principals of the three schools said good night to each other, Mrs. Maxime decided to write a letter to her friend as soon as she went back, and Grindelwald came out again, and he had to be serious no matter what.Dumbledore planned to visit Aberforth in the Hog's Head, he didn't want to be alone that night.And Karkaroff respectfully followed behind Grindelwald and his son, following suit, playing the role of a competent follower.

Arriving at Gellert's exclusive dormitory on the Durmstrang ship, after seeing Gellert carefully put the sleeping elf on the big bed and set the silencing spell, Abu finally couldn't help but say: "What are you doing?" What are you doing here? And you brought your father along too." In the original plan, Gellert only needed to mobilize the saints in the dark to cooperate with the British side's actions. .

"I just want to say goodbye to the past." Gellert said dotingly, looking at the sleeping elf on the bed with his mouth slightly open, and his son who was glaring at him.

In the past? I still want to see your old lover.Abu pouted, and did not continue talking on this topic, but exchanged views on possible unexpected factors brought about by Gellert's appearance.

"I will bring Draco here under the pretext of bringing my friends to let my father meet." Abu said this when he left the big ship in Durmstrang. Since he came to Hogwarts, how could Gellert Also meet his great-grandchildren.

And the Draco in the two populations was chatting with his portrait friend Eugene at this time.

"Aging agents are definitely not acceptable. The age line set by Dumbledore will never be passed so easily." Draco was still frowning as he talked about his analysis with Eugene, thinking about what to do. Able to get him past the age line.

"Draco, would you like to attend?" Eugene asked.

Draco nodded, "I want to prove that I'm not useless, I can convince the grown-ups, don't always use my young age as an excuse to prevaricate me." It seems that the concealment of adults on the issue of life experience made Draco My heart is not happy.

"Then it's getting late, Draco, you should go back, maybe you can find a better way after sleeping." Eugene comforted him with a smile.

Seeing that it was not early, Draco immediately packed up his things and left. He also had questions to ask Abu who followed the honorary principal of Durmstrang to the ship.

Smiling and watching Draco leave, Eugene said to himself: "Since it is your wish, I will definitely satisfy you, my beautiful little dragon."
