After being affirmed by Dumbledore, Alberta and Harry entered the waiting room.

It was a room full of portraits, and after they entered, the wizards and witches in the portraits all turned to look at them.And the three warriors who went in before sat around the fireplace, reflecting the firelight.

Delacour was looking around when he saw Alberta and Harry coming in, and asked casually, "What's the matter? Do you want us to go back to the auditorium?"

Harry looked at Alberta helplessly, and she immediately replied: "No. In fact, Harry and I are the fourth and fifth names that were spit out by the Goblet of Fire even though we hadn't voted for them before. A brave man. I think, maybe someone is trying to kill me and Harry."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps behind her.Then, Ludo Badman took Harry's hand and walked forward, of course his eyes signaled Alberta to follow.

"How strange! How strange!" He muttered something, then cleared his throat, and said to the other three warriors in the room, "Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to introduce-this is a little strange, Isn't it?—this is our fourth and fifth champion."

Krum, who had been leaning against the fireplace, straightened up and looked at Harry and Alberta, his face suddenly sank.Digory looked at Harry and Alberta at a loss, not knowing what to say.And Delacour was the first to speak: "Oh, so, what the lady just said is right? This is really funny, Mr. Badman. Look, let's not talk about the lady, he... seems to be Very young, are you in the fifth grade? No matter how you look at it, you haven’t reached the 17-year-old required by the competition, right?”

Badman looked a little guilty, and he explained: "Yes, that's right... You know, once you are selected by the Goblet of Fire, you cannot withdraw, so both Harry and Mayne must participate in this Triwizard Hegemony match."

At this time, the door opened again, and Dumbledore, Crouch, Karkaroff, Maxim, McGonagall, and Snape came in.When they opened the door, they could hear the buzzing discussions outside, but after Mag closed the door, those voices were also cut off from the outside.

Delacour seemed to have found someone who supported her, and hurriedly ran to Madame Maxime, saying, "Madame Maxime, they said that this lady and this boy will also participate in this competition!"

Maxim patted Delacour on the shoulder, frowned, and said to Dumbledore: "Although they both said that they did not put their names in the Goblet of Fire, we cannot be sure that what they said must be true .I can't accept the fact that Hogwarts, as the host, has three warriors."

Karkaroff also expressed his own meaning: "Yes, this is too unfair!"

Alberta hooked the corners of her lips, and said sarcastically: "Fair? I still want to say that this is unfair to Harry and me. We did nothing, but were forced to participate in this kind of game with a very high mortality rate. If Said, no one wants to do something to me and Harry, I don't believe it. And...Harry is the savior, what if...that person did it?"

"That person", Alberta didn't say who it was, and didn't even use the term "mysterious person", but everyone present understood what she meant.Harry and the You-Know-Who are unending mortal enemies. If anyone has a strong killing intent on Harry, it must be the My-Know-Who and his subordinates.

This result is not difficult to guess, but everyone was taken aback by this possibility, no, it was a fact, and the timid Delacour even shivered.

Dumbledore looked at Harry, and Harry looked at him, and Dumbledore asked him, "Harry, did you really not put the name in?"

"no!"

"You didn't let students who are older than you in?"

"No!" Harry replied even louder.He felt a little aggrieved, since he knew there was an age limit, he hadn't thought about participating, but no one believed his words, no, no one believed him at all except Alberta.They all felt that he secretly put his name in the Goblet of Fire for the sake of honor and fame.However, he was even more frightened that it was Voldemort's men who had put his name in it.Harry is not stupid, he understands that if someone can put his name in it in order to cause his accidental death, it means that Hogwarts is not safe!Voldemort's men are inside Hogwarts!Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help being cold, he reached out and grabbed Alberta's left hand, holding it tightly, as if grasping a trace of security.

"Professor Dumbledore, can I have a look at those two parchments?" Alberta asked suddenly.

Dumbledore was clueless, but handed her the parchment with her and Harry on it.

Alberta took it and understood it just by looking at it.

That's not her name at all!Even looking closely, the handwriting on the two pieces of parchment is the same, and it was written by the same person!and……

"Professor Dumbledore, the names on these two parchments are very strange. They actually wrote the first name and last name separately, but did not write the school. I am afraid that the Goblet of Fire regards one of them as a school, and the other as a name." Ai Er Berta handed the two pieces of parchment to Harry, and continued, "If you take a closer look, you can find that the writing on the two pieces of parchment is the same. Although the man wanted to cover it up, the writing Habits cannot be changed overnight, whether it is the arc when writing an a or the angle of flight when writing r, it can illustrate this fact."

After hearing her words, Harry immediately looked down.After a while, he said, "It's true!"

"It seems that someone really did something to Harry and me." Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her tone was also very unfriendly, "If I make a bold guess, there may be a mysterious person in Hogwarts." subordinate."

Alberta's words immediately brought the atmosphere in the room to a halt, and the temperature reached zero.Under her gaze, she saw Karkaroff flinch and Crouch shake slightly.She couldn't help laughing: "It seems... there may be more than one, or several people."

Alberta's meaningful words made Dumbledore breathless, and the gaze he looked at her became meaningful.But she did not flinch, looked directly at Dumbledore, and suggested: "I think, my dear Professor Dumbledore should do his best to ensure the safety of Harry and me? I think, whether it is Professor McGonagall or Snape Professor, both are good choices, aren't they?"

Dumbledore chuckled and stroked his white beard. After a while, he said to McGonagall and Snape, "I think it's time to trouble Minerva and Severus."

Professor McGonagall nodded directly. She must also be worried about Harry's safety.And after Professor Snape snorted coldly, he stopped expressing his opinion, apparently acquiescing to Dumbledore's arrangement.

Alberta also said to Professor Snape in a very sensible way: "Then, in the next year, I will ask the dean. I will help with the materials."

Perhaps it was her saying that she helped process the materials moved Snape. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I just hope...Miss Mayne, you don't have the brains of a troll to destroy those materials."

"I thought that after so many years, the dean already knew my potion level and herbal medicine level."

Bang—the door was opened again.This time, it was Moody who came in.He came in with a limp, and his piercing magic eyes rolled around, looking at everyone in the room. "In short, according to the magic contract of the Goblet of Fire, they all have to participate in this competition, don't they?"

"But..." Karkaroff wanted to say something more, but under Moody's gaze, he didn't continue.

"Okay, let's talk about the first project." Badman rubbed his hands, seeming a little excited, "Barty, right?"

Crouch leaned closer to the firelight, and in the orange firelight, he could see that his eye circles were black and his skin was as dry as paper. "The first project is to test your courage. Of course, we will not tell you what kind of task this is. Facing the unknown, courage is very important for a wizard. The first project will It will be held on November 24th, in front of all the referees and students. During this period, the warriors cannot ask the teacher for help, nor can they accept any form of help from the teacher. You will carry out the first project with the help of the magic wand. Only after completing the first project, you will be informed about the second project. However, since the competition is time-consuming and labor-intensive, you can be exempted from the test at the end of the period." Crouch finished speaking at once, and turned to look at Deng Bullido, "Albus, I guess that's it, isn't it?"

"I'm going to participate in OWLs this year, so what should I do?" Alberta interrupted.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but OWLs can't be avoided." Crouch replied.

Alberta didn't think she could be exempted, and she didn't find it difficult to accept such a reply.

When Alberta and the others came out of the room, there was almost no one in the auditorium.It is almost said that there are still people there.At the Slytherin table, Pansy, Draco, Blaise and Neil were still there.

After seeing them, Alberta smiled sincerely.

And Digory, who was walking beside her and Harry, said to them, "I think you have to be careful everywhere. Although I don't know who put your names into the Goblet of Fire, that person must want to Let you be injured or even die in this competition. However, with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, you are also safer."

"Thank you, thank you!" Harry thanked in a flustered manner. Until now, his mind was still in a mess, and he couldn't make sense of the current situation.

"Let go of your hands!"

"Let go!" Pansy's and Draco's voices sounded at the same time.Only then did Alberta realize that Harry was still holding onto her left hand, and she didn't realize that she had to break free.
