At this time, the two chairs that had been vacant before were finally sat down by Barty Crouch and Ludo Badman.

As directors of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation and directors of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, their arrival is really normal.

When the dishes were all cleared, Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.After introducing the referees—as everyone expected, the three principals and the two directors were all referees—Dumbledore asked Filch to take the Goblet of Fire.

Obviously, the appearance of the Goblet of Fire diverted the attention of the students.The box containing the Goblet of Fire was carefully placed on the table in front of Dumbledore by Filch.

"You know, there will be three missions throughout the school year, and our two judges—Mr. Crouch and Mr. Badman—will use different methods to test the contestants. Of course, there is also the ability to deal with danger, these are the scope of detection." Dumbledore's words attracted everyone's attention in time, and he calmly talked about what needs to be known, "Each participating school will have a Warriors participate, a total of three warriors. Our five referees will score the performance of each warrior in each competition task, and after the completion of the three competition tasks, the one with the highest total score will win. The warriors participating in the competition will be judged by an impartial The Chosen One—yes, this burning Goblet of Fire before me—chosen."

Dumbledore stretched out his wand and tapped the box three times. In the eyes of everyone, the box creaked and slowly opened.Then, they watched Dumbledore reach in and take out a crude-looking wooden cup from the box.Although the wooden cup was very rough, the jumping blue and white flame made it clear that it was not a simple thing.

"Those who sign up must write their school and name neatly on parchment and throw it into this wooden cup. You have 24 hours to choose whether or not to participate. By tomorrow night, Hallow's Eve, the Goblet of Fire will be selected Choose the most suitable warrior to represent that school." Seeing that many people were eager to move, and took a piece of parchment to write their names and schools, Dumbledore added, "In order to prevent the underage wizards from blocking Don't be tempted to sign up, and when the Goblet of Fire is placed in the entrance hall, I will draw an age line around it, and no one under the age of 17 will be able to cross this line. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that this competition is not Anyone who wants to participate can participate. Once selected by the burning Goblet of Fire, he or she must continue the competition to the end. Because after putting the name into the cup, a binding magic contract is naturally signed. Once a warrior , you can’t change your mind. So, before you throw your name in the cup, think about whether you really want to play with all your heart.”

Dumbledore's last words made many people stop thinking about getting involved.If you are accidentally selected as a warrior, it's not very good, after all, the high death rate in the Triwizard Tournament can be clearly found.Only the little lions of Gryffindor could not give up this idea after Dumbledore's words.

"Your Highness, will you participate?" Pansy asked on the way back to the cellar.

Alberta shook her head: "No. But I am very interested in the age limit set by Dumbledore, but I think it won't take long for the people of Ravenclaw to gain something." She was on good terms with the Ravenclaws, and was often asked by interested parties.And there is a private bookshelf in the Ravenclaw tower. Although the books on it are not as numerous as the library, they are all notes of the students who previously studied in Ravenclaw, which is very inspiring.Access to Ravenclaw Tower is also easy, as anyone can enter if they can answer the questions posed by the eagle-shaped door knocker.

"Unfortunately, if it's Alberta, I'm afraid the title of warrior must be you." Blaise said with a smirk.

Alberta walked straight to her dormitory, ignoring Blaise's smile: "Not old enough, isn't it?"

"I thought... Your Highness would definitely find the loophole in the age limit, wouldn't you?" Blaise continued without being discouraged.

Draco frowned, trying to stop Blaise from speaking.

And when Alberta was about to walk out of their sight, she suddenly turned her head and said, "There are many loopholes, and you can figure it out just by thinking about it. I just think, Brace, you want to tell you which confidante you want to get the answer from me To? Ravenclaw's?"

After Blaise was poked in the center of his mind, he touched his nose guiltily and stopped talking.Pan Xi glared at him and said, "It deserves it!"

Even Draco shrugged, ready to go back to his dormitory: "You... take care."

Blaise was left crying in the common room.It's fine if you don't tell him the answer, why are the three of them beating him so much!

The next day, when Alberta went to the auditorium for breakfast, there were already many people gathered in the entrance hall.One night passed, and I don't know how many people voted in.But these are not her concern. After breakfast, she will go to the library and continue to read books. She will stay there all day today, except for three meals.

Before she could sit down, she saw Mrs. Maxim appearing with her group of students.One by one, they crossed the age limit and threw the parchment into the blue and white flames.Only then did Alberta know that after the parchment was thrown in, the flame would turn red and sparks would splash out, as if it were a real flame.

After all Beauxbaton's students had registered, Madam Maxim led them out of the hall.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, when Alberta looked up from the book, it was already pitch black outside the window.

Thinking that there would be a Halloween dinner later, she had no choice but to pack up her things and put back the books on the table one by one before leaving the library with her own things.Before walking out of the library, she also said hello to Mrs. Pince.

It wasn't too late when Alberta arrived in the Great Hall, but Draco, Pansy, and Blaise were all there, and Neal was talking to his girlfriend at the Ravenclaw table, but it was too soon Back to the Slytherin table.

After a while, the entire auditorium was almost full of people, and many people stretched their necks, wanting to know who is the warrior.Of course, they couldn't know the result so quickly.

The Halloween dinner lasted longer than usual, and when it finally ended, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stood up, looked around, and after the whole silence, he began to speak: "Well, I think, the Goblet of Fire is almost ready and we can make a decision. It is estimated that in one minute, the person whose name is called Classmates, please go to this end of the hall, walk along the professor's long table and go through this door to the next room." He pointed to the door behind the professor, "They will receive the first instruction there."

Everyone stared at Dumbledore's movements. He took out his wand, swung it vigorously, and extinguished all the lights except the candle in the carved pumpkin.In the entire auditorium, only the Goblet of Fire was burning in front of Dumbledore, its blue and white light was the most dazzling.

After a while, the flames in the Goblet of Fire turned red, and the flames splashed in all directions, and then the flames burst out, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out, just in time for Dumbledore to catch it.

Dumbledore unfolded the parchment and read it through the blue-white flame again: "The warrior representing Durmstrang is - Viktor Krum!"

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.Krum stood up from the long Slytherin table—at that moment, Draco congratulated in a low voice: "Congratulations."—He followed what Dumbledore had just said, and entered the next room.

A few seconds later, the flames turned red again, and a piece of parchment was spit out.

"The warrior representing Beauxbatons is - Fleur Delacour!" Following Dumbledore's voice, the girl with Veela blood stood up, shook her long golden hair, and entered the room. Next room.

After that, almost all Hogwarts students stared at the flame.Next, there are the heroes of Hogwarts.

Without keeping them waiting, Dumbledore caught the third parchment and shouted, "The one representing Hogwarts is - Cedric Diggory!"

One by one the Hufflepuff badgers jumped up, screaming and applauding their champion.Amid the applause, the seventh-year Hufflepuff smiled and walked into the room where the warriors were waiting.

"Very well, we have selected three warriors." Dumbledore looked very happy, he said with a smile, "I think the students who are still here will cheer for your respective warriors, and you will do your best Supporting them, who won this tournament—”

However, before he finished speaking, the blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red again!A fourth parchment spit out from the flames, and Dumbledore caught it, frowning.

His expression became a little heavy after seeing the name on the parchment, but he still had to say the name: "Alberta Mayne!"

Under the weird eyes of everyone, Alberta stood up gracefully.She didn't look flustered at all, and she said, "I can swear, I didn't throw my name into the Goblet of Fire. After dinner last night, I went into my dormitory. In this regard, Slytherin students And today, after breakfast, I went to the library and didn't leave except for lunch, and Mrs. Pince can prove it. Since I didn't have time to throw my name into the Goblet of Fire , does that mean... someone wanted to harm me, so they threw my name in there?"

But before Dumbledore could speak, the Goblet of Fire spit out the fifth parchment!And this time, it's Harry Potter!

Alberta didn't sit down, nor did she leave her seat. She stood there, leaving other people's voices behind, and she said: "Look, Harry Potter in the fourth grade, Harry Potter in the fifth grade Me. Is there something wrong with the Goblet of Fire, or...is someone really planning to attack the two of us? I can say that Harry Potter...is the savior of the wizarding world."

The voices of those discussions suddenly paused, and they all looked at another unexpected warrior.Harry sat there, at a loss to accept everyone's gaze.

"I, I didn't! I didn't throw it!" Harry said blankly, turning his head to look at his two friends, wanting their affirmation.And Hermione and Weasley, both of them, were as dazed as Harry.

"Whatever the reason, Miss Mayne, please go to the next room with Harry now." Dumbledore said wearily.

"Of course, I know that once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he cannot quit. But... I think, Principal Dumbledore, um, and the director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation and the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, you guys It should be possible to tell Potter and me after the investigation why our names were thrown into the Goblet of Fire, right?"

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, there was a typo: Ravenclaw should be a bronze eagle, not a golden eagle... At that time, I saw the picture below and thought it was golden, so I wrote it up face) but since Chapter V is difficult to revise, I will just say it here.

In the past two days, I have been considering the possibility of becoming a full-time writer after graduation.Because I went back to my hometown after graduation. It is a tertiary city and a small place. It is very common for graduates to earn a salary of one or two thousand. Even if they are not graduates, a salary of more than 2000 is normal.If I write full-time, I will update [-] words a day. Of course, not one article will update [-] words a day, but three articles will update a chapter each day.But whether this can be done depends on whether my father agrees.

In addition, these two days have been late...I have to adjust my schedule (far eye
