Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 156 3 Strong Contest Begins

Following the crowded crowd, they walked into the auditorium. After a few months, the Hogwarts auditorium was still so magnificent, and it was specially decorated for the banquet of Xin Xuesi.Hundreds of candles floated above the table, illuminating gold plates and goblets.The four long college tables were already filled with chattering students.There was a fifth table at the top of the auditorium, and the staff sat one by one on one side of the table, facing their students.

"This semester, the Triwizard Tournament is about to replace the boring Quidditch. It's really worth looking forward to. Unfortunately, my dad only told me about the competition, and even he didn't get the specific items. Definite news." Sitting at the long table, Malfoy rested his chin and said boredly.

Lilian's crimson pupils were full of confusion, "Is it still necessary to guess? There must be a maze project in the history of the Triwizard Hegemony. This is one of them. As for the remaining two, they are generally slightly dangerous. Generally speaking, the entire process of the Treasure Hunt Competition is basically a combination of these types.”

Thor and Loki looked at each other, showing a knowing smile.

"This semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher seems to be undecided, and the seat on the teacher's bench is still vacant." Loki changed the topic lazily.

"It's a pity that Professor Lupine is gone. Leaving aside the stuttering Quirrell, the narcissistic Lockhart, Professor Lupine is indeed the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher I have ever seen. A teacher who brings practical operations into the classroom." Professor, it's hard not to like him." Lilian sighed.

Augustus glanced at the teacher's seat, and the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, was sitting in the middle of the table.His flowing silver-white hair and beard glistened in the candlelight, and his rich dark green robe was embroidered with stars and moons.The fingertips of Dumbledore's two slender hands touched together, his chin was resting on the fingertips, and his eyes looked up at the ceiling above through the half-moon lenses, as if lost in thought.

The Triwizard Tournament, based on his curiosity, naturally wants to participate, but, as far as he knows, the contestants are created through the Goblet of Fire, but he doesn't know what the principle is, whether the Goblet of Fire can be cast with the Confusion Curse, To ensure that he can successfully become one of the players, because according to regulations, his age should not be enough.

The sorting ceremony went very quickly. In just over ten minutes, this year's freshman admission to the sorting school was completed. Most of the Slytherin freshmen carefully sat down at the long table. For the seniors of this college, the new students admitted With a respectful and reserved attitude.

The simple meal time was over, and Albus Dumbledore stood up again.The humming of voices in the hall stopped suddenly, only the beating of strong wind and heavy rain could be heard.

"There!" said Dumbledore, looking at them all with a smile. "Now that we've all eaten and drunk, ('Bah!' said Hermione) I must once again draw attention to the fact that I have a few announcements to make."

He continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that the forbidden forest on the other side of the venue is not allowed to enter by students, and the Hogsmeade village, all students under the third grade are not allowed to visit."

"I also regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year."

Compared to Gryffindor's uproar, Slytherin's silence was obviously more confident. For pure blood, this was not a secret at all.

Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large event will start in October and continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of the teachers' time and energy - but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun with it. I It's a great pleasure to announce that this year at Hogwarts—"

Just then, there was a deafening roar of thunder, and the auditorium door slammed open.

A man stood in the doorway, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black traveling cloak.Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at the stranger, when suddenly a forked lightning flashed across the ceiling.

Augustus looked over the figure strangely, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Mad-Eye Moody, why did he come to Hogwarts? An Auror came to the school at this time. Is there some business?" Lilian's tone was full of surprise.

"Auror? Are you sure he's an Auror?" Augustus asked.

"Well, my father once introduced him at a banquet. His appearance is usually hard to forget the first time you see him, so I still remember it fresh." Lilian nodded.

The stranger walked up to Dumbledore.He held out a hand, which was also scarred like his face.Dumbledore shook his hand and said something in a low voice that Harry didn't catch.He seemed to be asking the stranger something, but the stranger shook his head without a smile and answered in a low voice.Dumbledore nodded, motioning for the man to take an empty seat to his right.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore broke the silence happily, "Professor Moody."

"Interesting," Augustus smiled lightly, "this man is quite interesting."

Loki glanced at Augustus in confusion. He had seen Moody before. Although he was relatively top-notch among the Aurors, from Augustus's point of view, he should not have any interest in him. , the deep meaning in this sentence seems to have some other flavor.

Under normal circumstances, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud, but now, except for Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauds.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.Suddenly there was applause from the long Slytherin table, and Augustus clapped his hands casually.Although they were puzzled, all the Slytherin students clapped their hands together, and a burst of warm applause resounded through the auditorium, followed by the other three houses joining in. Immediately, applause to welcome Professor Moody filled the entire auditorium.

Moody glanced coldly at the applauding students around him. His gaze slowly moved across the crowd and converged on Augustus. The rotating false eye mechanically stared at Augustus, and the other eye had a deep look. explore.

Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"As I said," he said, smiling at the throng of students in front of him, "over the next few months we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has been going on for more than a year. The Century is no longer taking place. I am very pleased to report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."
