Chapter 78 Goblet of Fire

When the last bit of food disappeared from the plate, Dumbledore stood up again. All the students in the auditorium kept quiet and focused on Dumbledore. They all knew that the highlight of the evening was coming.

"First of all, let us welcome the principals and representatives of Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic School and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from afar with applause." Dumbledore's voice clearly conveyed to every corner of the auditorium, and the students used their own The enthusiasm expressed the welcome to the other two schools.

"Secondly, I think I must introduce these two guests to you. This one is Mr. Lucius Malfoy, the current Minister of Magic, and this one is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic. , They have been busy in the past few months to re-host the Triwizard Tournament." The reason why Lucius came here this time is entirely because of Barty Crouch Sr., former Ministry of Magic International Cooperation The Director of the Department was forced to suspend his job because of his son's scandal, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't find a suitable candidate to take over his job for a while, so Lucius took over the job of the Triwizard Tournament.

"Finally, let me introduce our arrangements for this school year. The Triwizard Tournament will select a warrior from each of the three schools as a representative to participate in the competition. There are three events in the competition, which will be held at different times of the school year. It will be held. Our three principals, Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Bagman will be the referees, and the warrior with the highest score will win the Tri-Strong Cup after scoring the quality of each warrior's mission." Dumbledore stopped here I got down and looked at the little faces sitting below that were full of expectations, excitement and sometimes fear.

"Then, now invite us to select the most impartial referee for the warrior—the Goblet of Fire." As soon as Dumbledore's voice fell, Filch, the janitor, walked over holding a wooden box inlaid with gems.

Dumbledore knocked on the box, and it creaked open, revealing a crudely carved wooden goblet, the only difference being that it was covered with blue and white flames like a torch.

Harry looked at the simple quilt, and asked Draco in disbelief: "That is the Goblet of Fire, through which the warriors are selected?"

"It seems so." Although Draco had heard Hermione talk about the Goblet of Fire, this was the first time Draco had seen her.Draco was very upset at the thought that Harry, who might be harmed by this broken cup, would also participate in this competition.

"How do you choose it?" Harry asked stupidly, he was really shocked by how simple this cup was.

Draco looked at the cup and didn't answer Harry, just shrugging his shoulders to represent what he meant.Who knows how it was chosen, it's just a magic item.

"Within 24 hours, students who want to participate in the competition can put the parchment with your name and school in it, and we will put it in the hall. But please think carefully, after all, every Triwizard competition Sai's death rate is not low, and we will announce the warriors of each school at the Halloween dinner tomorrow." Dumbledore's last words seemed to be a bucket of cold water to quench some of the overly enthusiastic students.

Afterwards, Dumbledore announced the end of the dinner, and the students filed out of the auditorium and headed for their dormitories.It was just a Beauxbaton girl wearing a light blue silk school uniform who broke away from their team and rushed straight towards Slytherin.In the middle of a black school uniform, this light blue is especially eye-catching.

Astoria ran towards this side maintaining a perfect demeanor, every step vividly reflected the girl's curves, the fluttering skirt, the flying hair, and the slightly flushed cheeks from running.She ran up to Draco and gave a lady's salute, then turned behind Draco to find Daphne, and didn't say a word to Draco other than saluting.

But with this attitude, Harry, who was about to stand beside Draco, was very upset.Having been by Draco's side for so many years, he would not be ignorant of Draco's charm, not to mention how they had witnessed how this pretentious girl treated Ginny back then.Looking at her performance today, Harry knew that this person still hadn't given up on Draco, and it seemed that he still had confidence in Draco.

Draco felt very headache when he saw this woman showing her presence in front of him again. He noticed Astoria's eyes in the hall, and naturally knew that this woman might be restless again.At this time, such a show was staged in front of him again, and looking at the somewhat quiet green-eyed kitten beside him, he knew that this year's life might not be too comfortable.

Draco took Harry's hand, didn't say much, just put a little more force on his hand, until he felt the hand he held tightly squeezed his hand as if responding and punishing, Only then did he laugh silently.Harry, who was holding hands with him, could naturally feel the trembling of his body. He waited for the green eyes to see Draco laughing, and then gave him several fierce stares. Unfortunately, his big cat eyes didn't seem to be quite right. It is suitable for the action of staring at people...

On the second day, accompanied by everyone, Draco randomly threw the parchment with his name and school into the Goblet of Fire. In an instant, the flame above the Goblet of Fire turned red and devoured the parchment that Draco put in.Draco stepped back after casting his vote, just in time to see the Weasley twins walking in the same direction.

Seeing them standing here, George and Fred didn't do anything special. They first greeted their sister, Ginny Weasley, and then greeted Harry in a friendly manner. Finally, He nodded at Draco.

Although Draco felt a little surprised, he still politely returned the gift.He didn't hate the twins himself, just as he didn't hate Ginny either.Although these two people never showed any kindness to him, they never took the initiative to make trouble for him. Even when Ron Weasley made trouble for Harry several times, these two firmly suppressed him.

The twins put their names into the Goblet of Fire, turned around and found that they hadn't left yet, so they came over.

"Hey, Harry, it's been a long time since you entered Slytherin." George patted Harry on the shoulder with emotion on his face.

"Yeah, I think my mother brought you in when you couldn't find the platform." Fred also said.

"If it weren't for Ron, that dead boy, we wouldn't be like this now. Unfortunately, he is too stubborn." George shrugged.

"Stubborn boy, he doesn't even care about our little sister at home now." Fred said and patted the head of Ginny who was standing aside.

"I don't want to be like this either." Harry managed to interject, these two people are indeed twins, needless to say they have a tacit understanding, that is, they can talk to themselves so that others can't interrupt.

"It's okay, we understand you." George patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Hey, Harry, aren't you going to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?" Because Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons led her students to cast their names in the Goblet of Fire, the students standing in the foyer started whispering.The noisy environment around made Fred have to raise his voice to prevent Harry from hearing clearly, so he attracted everyone's attention in the hall with a single sentence, and the hall fell silent instantly.After all, the name "Harry Potter" has always been a legend in the wizarding world. Although after entering Slytherin, he has the protection of the entire academy and Draco so that others cannot harass him, but those who are in the dark Peeping eyes are always there.

With a competition like this, Hogwarts students naturally pay attention to the more famous students in each house.The Slytherin students knew that Draco would participate in the competition, so they almost gave up their qualifications tacitly. Therefore, although many people came here today, only Draco himself put his name into the Goblet of Fire.

Harry noticed that everyone's attention was focused on him, even Madam Maxime was looking at him, and Astoria, who was hiding behind Madam Maxime, gave him a provocative glance.Harry's eyes sank, and he said to Fred, "Draco has decided to participate in the competition. I don't think I will have a chance even if I vote for my name, so I won't do anything unnecessary." Harry spread his hands helplessly , the tone of Draco's maintenance is a fool can hear it.

After hearing this, George and Fred thought about it. They always knew that in Slytherin, the world was judged by strength, and Draco Malfoy would definitely not be an embroidered pillow to sit firmly in his position today.Harry's words confirmed their speculation, not to mention that almost no one from Slytherin College came to participate in the competition, which showed from the side that Slytherin recognized that Draco was their strongest.

When Madam Maxim heard Harry's words, she turned her eyes between him and Draco, and then took her students away. What does Hogwarts students have to do with her?

Soon, the twins bid farewell to Draco and the others and left.Draco looked at the backs of the two and had some thoughts, so let's talk about it when we have a chance.Draco and the others also hurried to the classroom, after all, they would suffer if they were late.

And with the departure of this group of people, the news that Harry will not participate in the Triwizard Tournament also spread throughout Hogwarts. Not at all, not to mention the gossip about this mysterious savior who has been protected by Slytherin.

Draco didn't say anything when he heard the news, he even breathed a sigh of relief.Now everyone in the school knew that Harry didn't put his name into the Goblet of Fire. Even if the Goblet of Fire did spit out his name in the end, then the attack on Harry would be minimized.

During the Halloween dinner, the costumes in the auditorium changed again.But almost everyone tacitly increased the speed of eating, and all their energy was concentrated on the identity of the warrior of the Triwizard Tournament that was about to be announced.

Dumbledore looked at the auditorium that seemed a little too quiet for the first time, and smiled helplessly. These children were really impatient, and they even saved time for talking.

When all the tableware became shiny again, Dumbledore stood up, the auditorium was silent, and everyone looked at the Goblet of Fire expectantly.

"Well, the Goblet is about to make its decision," said Dumbledore. "I reckon it will take another minute. Listen, when the names of the champions are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the Great Hall and walk along the staff Desk, go into the next room," he pointed to the door behind the instructor's desk, "they'll get their initial instructions there."

Dumbledore swung his wand to extinguish all the lights in the auditorium, and the entire auditorium was plunged into darkness. Only the bright blue and white flame was the only light source, which even seemed a little dazzling.

Everyone stared at the Goblet of Fire without blinking, and the auditorium was so quiet that one could even hear a needle drop.Finally, the flame above the Goblet of Fire turned from blue-white to red, crackling sparks burst out, and a tongue of fire spewed out. Dumbledore waved his hand to catch the spit out name.

He held the burnt parchment far away, struggling to read the writing on it. "Well, the warrior of Durmstrang." Having said that, Dumbledore paused, he pushed his crescent-shaped eyes, looked around the auditorium, and announced loudly: "It's Viktor Krum."

There was warm applause and cheers in the auditorium, and everyone seemed to be expecting Viktor Krum as the warrior of Durmstrang.Viktor Krum stood up under the eyes of everyone, and walked into the room along the teaching bench.

"Great, Viktor." Karkaroff immediately stood up and said loudly to Viktor.

When everyone's attention was focused on the Goblet of Fire again, its flame changed color again, another tongue of flame spewed out, and Dumbledore was ready to catch the almost charred name again.

"The champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour."

A girl with shiny silver hair stood up proudly, and walked towards that room with a flick of her hair.

At this time, the warriors of the other two schools have already been produced, and all the students of Hogwarts are all nervous. Who will become the warrior of their school?

When the Goblet of Fire spit out flames again, the entire auditorium could barely hear the sound of breathing.It wasn't until Dumbledore's voice announced: "The champion of Hogwarts is Draco Malfoy!", the whole auditorium burst into warm applause and cheers again, just that a certain house wanted Slytherin students to be their The reps seemed less than enthusiastic.There was even a certain red-haired boy talking excitedly with his face flushed, but unfortunately his voice was buried in the cheers of other students.

For Draco to become a Hogwarts warrior, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff mostly expressed their blessings. After all, Draco's princely style has captured the hearts of many men and women.What's more, there was no chamber of secrets incident at Hogwarts in this life, and there was no reason why Slytherin House was isolated, so the other two houses still maintained a neutral attitude.

In the midst of cheers from everyone, Draco stood up gracefully, gave a slight salute to express his gratitude to everyone, and then walked towards the room where he received guidance.Careful people noticed that Draco himself was not very happy, and it seemed that he was a little tense.Indeed, when everyone was excited, only Draco and the pureblood squad were still paying attention to the hapless goblet, and they were waiting to see if another name would come out.

Reluctantly Draco couldn't continue to sit in the auditorium waiting for what might happen next, he had to go to that room, but before he left he gave Harry a hard squeeze on the shoulder.Harry showed a bright smile at Draco, and shook Draco's hand tightly back. No matter what the road ahead was, they would hold each other's hands and walk all the way to the end.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the Goblet of Fire. The pure-blood squad and others looked at each other with a relaxed smile. Dumbledore also planned to dismiss everyone.Suddenly, the Goblet of Fire spat out a long tongue of fire, spraying a name directly on Dumbledore's face.

Dumbledore took the piece of paper on his face in his hand in some surprise, and after seeing the contents clearly, he glanced in Harry's direction in surprise, and then announced in a deep voice: "Harry Potter." He After giving Harry a complicated look, he signaled Harry to get up and go to that room.

When Dumbledore announced the No.4 warrior, the whole auditorium fell silent again, and they didn't quite understand what they heard.At this time, a crisp female voice was heard saying: "The two Hogwarts warriors, can't they be cheating?"

Immediately, all the students of Hogwarts glared at that girl. This person is not stupid, saying that others cheated on other people's territory, isn't this the rhythm of courting death?Astoria found that everyone was looking at her angrily, biting her lower lip tightly, and she regretted saying that impulsively.So, she hastened to act as if the ignorant little girl was just speaking out what was in her heart. She looked at the crowd innocently, and tears filled her eyes with aggrievedness.

The boys at Hogwarts scared him to tears and felt a little embarrassed when they saw it, so they all turned to look at Dumbledore. The girls looked at Astoria's pretentious appearance and gave a cut in disdain. Also no longer pay attention to her.A certain red-haired boy silently swallowed back what he almost blurted out just now after everyone turned their heads. He was finally smart enough not to embarrass his school in front of other schools this time.

Dumbledore looked around the entire auditorium solemnly for a week, then motioned for the other two headmasters to get up, and Lucius Malfoy, who was sitting on the teaching bench, walked towards that room together.

As soon as Dumbledore and the others left the auditorium, the entire auditorium boiled instantly as if a drop of water had dropped into a frying pan.Everyone was talking loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not hear him.Everyone is doing their best to speak their minds, regardless of whether others agree with you or even hear you.

"Quiet." Professor McGonagall couldn't stand the chaotic auditorium, stood up and stopped them loudly, "Professor, why is Harry Potter the No.4 warrior? We all know that he didn't put his name into the Goblet of Fire." At this time, a bolder Gryffindor girl stood up and asked her dean.

All the students fell silent, and they all wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I don't know, we just need to wait for the principal's decision." Professor McGonagall tightened her lips, and she was also very surprised by this incident.

"Who knows if he secretly threw his name into the Goblet of Fire?" Ron muttered as he sat behind the Gryffindor table.

All the people around who heard this sentence looked at him with "Are you a fool?", and he swallowed the words behind.He also felt quite stupid, who would do such a stupid thing.Make everyone know that you didn't vote for your name, and then make such a thing out of your mouth?

No one got an answer from Professor McGonagall. The principals all entered the room, and it seemed that they would not be able to get out for a while, so Professor McGonagall asked the prefects of each college to take the students back to the dormitory.

On the way, everyone was discussing what made Harry the No.4 warrior.Due to the fact that a foreign school was at Hogwarts, Gryffindor did not oppose Slytherin this time, all thanks to Astoria's words at the beginning.The whole of Hogwarts was twisted into one rope, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.
