[HP] Blast! Word Small Universe

The man limped to Dumbledore's side, and it was not difficult to see that his walking was not his inconvenience.He held out a hand, which was also scarred like his face.

Dumbledore shook hands with him and said something in a low voice, as if asking him something.

The man shook his head and answered in a low voice.

Dumbledore nodded and motioned for the man to take an empty seat to his right.

He limped to the empty seat next to Snape and sat down, shaking his head, shaking his long gray hair from his face.Then he pulled a plate of sausages, held it up to his mutilated nose, and sniffed it.He took a pocketknife from his pocket, poked it through the end of a sausage, and ate it.His normal eye was fixed on the sausage, but the blue eye was still constantly moving around in its socket, looking at the auditorium and his classmates.

"That's Professor Lupine's place." Harry said in a low voice.

Jane didn't speak, because Dumbledore said at this time: "Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody."

Dumbledore's words suddenly caused an uproar, and many students began to discuss.

"Where's Professor Lupine?" Ron yelled, "Isn't he teaching us?"

Harry and Hermione watched Dumbledore closely, hoping he would give them an answer.

"We like Professor Lupine," Jane heard someone shout.

Dumbledore waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.He cleared his throat and said, "Professor Lupine may not be able to return to the school to take up the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts due to personal reasons." After he finished speaking, he looked around: "Of course, Moody The professor is also a good teacher, I think he will teach you a lot of interesting knowledge." After finishing speaking, he began to applaud Moody.

Under normal circumstances, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome them.But now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, not a single teacher or student applauded.Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped their hands a few times, and found that the applause echoed lonely in the silent auditorium, so they put down their hands knowingly.

Moody seemed unmoved by the lukewarm response.Ignoring the large pitcher of pumpkin juice in front of him, he reached into his traveling cloak, pulled out a curved decanter, and took a swig.As he lifted his arm to drink, his cloak was pulled up a few inches from the floor, and both Key and Harry saw a few inches of carved wooden leg protruding from under the table, with a claw-shaped foot underneath.

"Okay, let's continue what we said before." Dumbledore said with a smile looking at the many students in front of him, but at this time the students were still staring blankly at Mad-Eye Moody, as if they were completely attracted by Moody up.But Dumbledore didn't mind, he still said calmly: "As I said just now, in the next few months, we will be very honored to host a very exciting event. It hasn't been held in centuries. I am very pleased to report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

"You're kidding!" Fred suddenly shouted in surprise.

"I'm not joking, Mr Weasley," said Dumbledore, "but since you mentioned joking, I did hear a very funny one about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun, They all went into the same tavern..."

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat loudly.

"Oh - it's probably not the right time to say that... not the right..." said Dumbledore, "Where did I just say that? Ah, yes, the Triwizard Tournament... Some of you don't know that yet What the hell is going on with this Tournament, so I hope those who know the situation will forgive me to explain a little here, and I will allow their minds to wander for a while." Dumbledore blinked his blue eyes, Seems a little sly: "The Triwizard Tournament was founded some 700 years ago as a friendly rivalry between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Armstrong. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic events. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that it is a competition between different countries. A great way for young wizards to form friendships - but then, too many dead, the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued."

"Death toll?" whispered Hermione, looking around in amazement.

But most of the students in the auditorium were not as nervous as she was, and many whispered excitedly.

Jane rubbed her temples with a headache - she thought that Dumbledore knew the dangers of Quidditch, so he canceled Quidditch, but in fact he didn't realize that there were many times when Harry almost broke himself because of Quidditch. neck.As a result, there is now an event that is more lethal than Quidditch - the Triwizard Tournament.

"There have been several attempts over the centuries to bring back the Tournament, but none have been successful. However, we at the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic believe that the time is ripe for another attempt. This summer we will be doing A lot of work to ensure that every warrior will not encounter life-threatening." Dumbledore continued: "In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected competitors, The selection of the warriors will take place on Halloween. An impartial judge will decide which students are most qualified to compete in the Triwizard Cup, winning honors for their schools and a thousand Galleons for individuals."

A bonus of [-] Galleons is definitely not a small temptation.Many students became more excited because of the generous bonuses, and some children even blushed directly.Both Harry and Ron craned their necks, and even Hermione paid all her attention away from complaining about the Triwizard Tournament.

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament for Hogwarts, however, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agree that there is an age cutoff for this year's contenders. Only those who are 17 or older - that is , students over the age of 17 are allowed to register for consideration. We feel that this measure is necessary, because the competition is still very difficult and dangerous, no matter how many precautions we take, six or seven It is simply impossible to deal with students under the grade. I will personally guarantee that no student under the age deceives our impartial judges and becomes a Hogwarts warrior." Dumbledore raised his voice slightly, because some people Angrily protesting at his words, the Weasley twins suddenly became irate.There was a meaningful gleam in his blue eyes as he glanced over the rebellious faces of Fred and George.Jane was almost certain that Dumbledore's last words must have been addressed to Harry - as if he knew Harry would be attending: "So if you're under 17, I beg you not to waste your time applying The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations will be arriving in October and will be with us for the majority of the academic year. I know you will all be well behaved while our foreign dignitaries are here. Warm and friendly, and once a Hogwarts champion is finally chosen, you will support him or her wholeheartedly. Well, it is getting late, and it is very important that you go into class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed. Go Go to bed! Hurry!"
