Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 890 Scoring and rioting

After Albert successfully subdued the fire dragon and got the golden egg, the first person to rush into the arena was not the dragon trainer, but a very flamboyantly dressed wizard. He looked like a reporter, because beside Followed by a wizard with a camera.

   Albert saw a familiar figure behind the wizard, and Mr. Mogg was standing at the entrance of the venue and waving at him.

   "Please stand in front of the fire dragon and let me take a close-up of you."

  The wizard grabbed Albert's hand and greeted the photographer next to him, "Take a group photo of us first."

   Albert withdrew his hand in disgust, barely maintained a smile on his face, and asked, "Who are you?"

   "Almost forgot." The wizard introduced himself, "My name is Mike Dabo, the general manager of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. Nice to meet you, Mr. Albert Anderson."

   "Hello, Mr. Dabo."

  When Albert saw Mogg, he vaguely guessed who the flamboyantly dressed wizard in front of him was.

   "If you want me to cooperate with you in taking pictures, let the dragon trainer stun the dragon first. I don't want to face a dangerous fire dragon with my back."

   "You're right, it's always right to be cautious." Dabo put his arm around Albert's shoulder and said very familiarly, "I've discussed it with the dragon trainers just now."

  Albert felt uncomfortable all over. He used Dabo's arm as an excuse to say hello to Mogg. That guy was not as strong as Albert.

   "Well, as I said, you won't suffer." After greeting Albert, Mogg smiled and said to Mike Dabo: "You can't cut corners on your advertising expenses."

   "Of course not." Mike Dabo said happily.

   "Time is limited, we'd better finish taking photos as soon as possible, and don't cause trouble for others."

   "You're right." Mike Dabo said hello to the dragon trainers, and then led Albert to take pictures.

Observing the Swedish Brachysaurus up close, Albert felt that this guy was more dangerous than expected. It was about 20 feet long and looked like a hill. If possible, Albert would never stand close In front of the fire dragon, let alone a living fire dragon.

   However, there is a group of dragon tamers standing by next to him to ensure that the fire dragon does not suddenly wake up and kill him.

Albert stands in front of the fire dragon, with the fallen Swedish short-nosed dragon as the background, a lion lying on his feet, and an eagle that has been shrunk by his shrinking spell squatting on his shoulders, holding a golden egg in his hand, facing forward The camera showed a confident smile, and the picture was frozen in the camera.

   "It's perfect, I think the girls will go crazy for you."

  Mike Dabo said in a pompous tone, "I believe this is more effective than advertising in the World Cup."

   In Mike Dabo's view, Albert is simply a living legend, and he is handsome enough. He has decided to hang the photos he just took in the Fengya wizard clothing store.

   After taking several photos in a row, Albert took the golden egg and followed them to the outside of the field, not to cause trouble for the dragon trainers.

  Of course, Mike Dabo also gave dragon trainers some benefits, allowing them to buy custom-made fire-resistant clothes at a relatively low price at the Fengya wizard clothing store.

   The dragon trainers naturally have no objections, anyway, it's only a few minutes, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon has been subdued by Albert.

  The referees in the stands didn't care even more. They were gathering together and discussing Albert's performance just now.

"You did a great job. I think Poppy must be very pleased that you don't need to use a medical tent." Professor McGonagall walked towards Albert, with a smile that could not be concealed on his serious face before, " Go, your friends must be waiting."

   Albert looked past Professor McGonagall and saw Isobel and Katrina coming towards this side.

"Very handsome."

  Isobel walked up to Albert quickly, and hugged him with open arms.

  The dragon egg slipped from Albert's fingertips and fell to the ground. He put his arms around Isobel and kissed her lips.

  The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Fred, George and Lee Jordan who hurried over whistled, and the other girls giggled unnaturally.

The cameraman next to Mike Dabo wanted to take a picture of this scene, but Mogg stopped him by raising his hand. He shook his head at Mike Dabo, signaling him not to do that. With Albert's character, if Mike If Dabo dared to take random photos of him as a collaborator, the two sides would have nothing to talk about, and the fragile cooperative relationship would definitely collapse.

   Really thought Albert was just a kid?

  Look at the unlucky Rita Skeeter, why didn't even she dare to make trouble with Albert's news, she is a woman who has given the British Ministry of Magic a headache.

   I don't know how long it took before the two separated again. Isobel's face flushed, and she whispered: "Don't do such risky things in the future, you really surprised me just now."

   "Don't worry, I never do things I'm not sure about." Albert comforted softly.

   "Of course I have confidence in you, but I'm still very worried." Isobel understands Albert's character very well, and also knows that Albert attaches great importance to protecting himself, but having confidence and not worrying are two different things.

   "Sure enough, you are the best one."

   "You easily subdued a fire dragon by yourself. You probably don't know it yet. The girls in the stands are crazy about you."

   “I dare say this can be talked about for years.”

  Fred, George, and Lee Jordan stepped up to greet Albert and Isobel after they separated. Their faces were full of excitement and fanaticism, and they handed him back the golden egg that fell on the ground.

   "Okay, look, I'm almost blushing from your compliments." Albert joked with a smile.

   "I think they should give you a grade, and I dare say they will definitely give you a perfect score."

  Sanna, Angelina, and Alia also came over. If Isobel wasn't here, they would definitely go up and give Albert a sweet kiss.

   "Let's go back to the stands!"

   Albert took the golden egg from George, and led Isobel towards the stands, leaving behind a large group of envious girls.

  Katrina stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving, and followed them towards the stands.

   Albert subdued the fire dragon, and it didn't take much time for the dragon trainer to get it away.

  The referees have also discussed the results, and when Albert went to the stands, the scoring had already begun.

  The first referee to score the Warriors was Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. She raised her wand, sprayed a silver ribbon from the tip of the wand, twisted in mid-air to form a big "10".

Mrs. Maxim had already known Albert's strength for a long time, and she was lucky at first, but after seeing Albert subdue a fire dragon lightly within a few minutes, she chose to give up the unnecessary struggle and lay down. He directly gave Albert a perfect score.

  No way, last time Guy's series of tricks at the Magic School Potions Tournament cast a cloud over Beauxbatons, and the reputation of Beauxbatons School suddenly deteriorated a lot.

  So, Madam Maxim decided to be more aggressive, at least no one would say that Beauxbaton had issues with fairness in the game.

   As for Guy's matter, that is a personal matter, and the school has no knowledge of it.

  Madam Maxim didn't know about this?

  Of course not, but as long as you find a good excuse to make everyone face better.

  Whether Crouch, Dumbledore, or Bagman gave Albert ten points.

   Then, only Karkaroff remained ungraded.

   Under the watchful eyes of several referees, he gave Albert 1 point.

  Yes, 1 point.

   As for the reason, Karkaroff has already thought about it.

   Albert's dragon suit obviously violated the fairness of the game and was very unfair to other warriors.

  After the big "1" appeared, the atmosphere of the venue couldn't help but stagnate. Even the surrounding referees looked at Karkaroff with weird eyes.

Looking at the "1", Bagman's face immediately collapsed, and he opened his mouth. Before he could say a word, he heard a loud booing from the surrounding stands, followed by a lot of swearing. : Phrases such as shit, shameless, and shameless resounded through the auditorium.

  Karkaroff was about to explain why he scored 1 point when he was interrupted by a few flying boots.

   I don't know who took the lead in throwing things at the referee's seat. More and more students threw garbage, dung bombs, and various things at Karkaroff, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

  Even the Durmstrang students in the auditorium couldn't help covering their faces with their hands, not knowing what to say.

  Karkaroff's behavior made them feel ashamed.

  Even students from other schools admire Albert for single-handedly subduing a fire dragon, and the whole process only took a few minutes.

  Even if Karkaroff was thrown onto the field, it would not be able to achieve this level.

   "Oh, my God." Bagman glanced at Karkaroff very dissatisfied, and said eccentrically, "The audience is obviously **** off by the unfair rating."

  Madam Maxim also looked at Karkaroff with a complicated expression. She actually guessed that Karkaroff would lower Albert's score.

  In fact, this is the tacit understanding of everyone, to lower the scores of other warriors as much as possible, but this kind of thing is also a scoring situation. Everyone gave 10 points. What do you mean by giving 1 point?

  If it's just an ordinary warrior, Karkaroff's doing so is actually not a big deal. After all, it’s okay to have a low score. At most, it will cause dissatisfaction among the Warriors supporters. Just find a reason to prevaricate it. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, what can they do?

   But this Mr. Anderson is obviously an exception, have you really not noticed how popular he is?

  Madam Maxim wondered if there was something wrong with Karkaroff's mind. He really couldn't understand the situation, so why make his reputation worse?

  However, no one deliberately corrected him, and Karkaroff probably wouldn't listen anyway.

  Actually, it wasn't that Karkaroff couldn't listen, but that he never thought that he would hit the steel plate, let alone that Albert had a large support group.

Fans have never been considered a rational group, especially a group of girls, they will not listen to Karkaroff's reasons, especially when other referees give full marks, the girls will not allow their warriors to be treated in this way. Treat it fairly. So, under someone's lead, they started throwing things in protest.

With the girls taking the lead in protesting, others joined in one after another. They didn't care what the other referees were feeling. Anyway, Karkaroff's showmanship had annoyed most of the students in Hogwarts. They thought Albert should Get full marks.

  In fact, Albert subdued the fire dragon at the fastest speed, and cleared the first item unscathed and should get full marks.

   "Oh, my God, my God!" Bagman shouted in a loud voice, "Please keep calm, everyone, let us hear the reason why Mr. Karkaroff rated it like this!"

  Bagman's proposal obviously has bad intentions.

  Karkaroff's face was particularly gloomy, and he said loudly: "The fire dragon suit worn by Mr. Albert obviously violates the fairness principle of the game and is very unfair to other warriors."

   "Stupid fairness, you are the least qualified to say this."

   I don't know who yelled, and I saw a curse flying towards the referee's seat.

  Everyone couldn't help but stagnate, and raised their wands one after another, throwing curses at Karkaroff on the referee's bench.

   This guy really disgusts them.

  Bagman was taken aback by the crazy behavior of the students. If he was hit by such a large number of curses, he would probably be taken directly to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness.

  Fortunately, Dumbledore waved his wand in time and deployed defensive magic to protect the referee's seat, otherwise the referee's seat would probably be blown away by this wave of curses.

  The scene of a large number of curses exploding outside the barrier is so spectacular that even Dumbledore's barrier exploded a lot of cracks.

   If there is another wave, it is estimated that it will really not be able to hold on.

"Well, even the Quidditch World Cup didn't have such a commotion, how can we clean up the mess now?" Bagman glanced at Karkaroff, who was livid, and spread his hands towards Dumbledore to express himself powerless.

   "Quiet, quiet!"

  Dumbledore roared angrily, and he didn't expect the situation to get out of control. The Hogwarts students not only threw things at the referee's bench, they even threw curses directly at the end. At least a hundred people did that just now.

The main reason is that there are too many supporters of Albert. After Fred, George and Lee Jordan secretly took the lead in throwing magic at Karkaroff, the girls were also led to booing and vent their dissatisfaction. Others who were dissatisfied with Karkaroff were brought along.

After all, in the past, the Slytherin Quidditch team used to do whatever they could to win the game, which was enough to make people uncomfortable. Now, in the competition between schools, there are still people who dare to do so blatantly, and even make such an excuse. Do you take them for fools?

  However, Dumbledore's yelling was not effective, and the second wave of curses followed, blowing up the referee's seat.

  As for the other referees, they were taken away by Dumbledore using apparition.

   "Did that scene just now be filmed?"

   Rita Skeeter trembled with excitement, "I dare say that this has never happened before. The referee of the Triwizard Tournament was questioned and resisted by all the students. This will definitely become the hottest topic."
