Harry Potter and Shafik

61 Triwizard Tournament

People eating happily means the banquet is a success.Many years later, when the retired Mrs. Maxim wrote in her memoirs, the Triwizard Tournament brought her never-before-seen delicacies and a lifelong lover.

When the last piece of beef jerky made everyone’s heads ache, when Dumbledore stood up, some students began to put the jerky into their pockets. Said.

"Let us welcome with our warmest applause, Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, and Ludo Bagman, Director of Sports and Sports at the Ministry of Magic. They will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxim formed a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors." When Dumbledore was speaking, Taoist Lingxu kept looking at Moody's expression, and only looked away when there was nothing abnormal .

Barty Crouch came to the stage and announced that the Ministry of Magic had decided to report the Triwizard Tournament after several discussions. However, students under the age of 17 were not allowed to participate in the competition!

As some people listened to him and protested angrily and hissed "This decision is absurd!" The Weasley twins suddenly became angry - Dumbledore shouted "Silence! This measure is very important. Necessary, because the Tournament program is still very difficult and dangerous, and no matter how many precautions we take, it is impossible for students under the sixth and seventh grades to deal with it. I will personally ensure that no underage student deceives us. Referee, become a Hogwarts warrior." His blue eyes sparkled meaningfully as he glanced over the rebellious faces of Fred and George, "So if you're under 17, I beg you not to Waste of time filing applications." Then with a wave of the wand a large, roughly-carved wooden goblet suddenly emerged, the cup itself not at all unremarkable.

When a blue-white flame dances inside a cup, let alone a wooden cup, or a disposable paper cup, it can show how extraordinary it is.And it has a long history. It is said that Merlin chose the warrior's cup for King Arthur, and it is the interviewer of King Arthur's human resources department.If you can't even pass the cup, then King Arthur will never see you!
This cup is just like the Sorting Hat. When the four founders put their thoughts on choosing students into it, the Sorting Hat is like the Goblet of Fire, with King Arthur's criteria for selecting warriors in it.

"Every student who wants to run for a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. Those who are willing to become a warrior can sign up within 24 hours. Tomorrow night, also It's Halloween night, and the goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be in the foyer, accessible to all students who would like to run. ’ And then Dumbledore drew an age line that was far from the Goblet of Fire.Completely cut off the idea of ​​​​students who want to stand outside and deliver their names.

In order not to delay the study, the accompanying Professor Durmstrang of Beauxbatons will teach in the classroom of Hogwarts students of the same grade.

On the way back, Krum deliberately stood next to Olivia and kept teasing her.Olivia also responded with a smile.

"You two might as well get married in the future! Krum!" Hilbert congratulated desperately.

"We can consider getting married, but I think tomorrow's game is more important." Olivia said with a smile.

"Hey, Krum, are you going?"

"of course."

"Hey, when can I participate?"

"Five years from now!" Krum said.

"Five years from now, I'll be graduating! Victor!"

Back in the dormitory, Olivia went to Slytherin's girls' dormitory, and Krum and other Durmstrang students exchanged information about the World Cup with the Slytherin students!
"This year's competition, I caught the Golden Snitch, and the Irish team won. Shit!"

"Don't worry, this little thing is nothing compared to your future!"

"Alena, what is that thing?" Hilbert asked, pointing to the badge in Aleena's hand.

"House-Elf Welfare Association membership badge! This is from my sister Granger, two silver Sickles."

"Here I am, the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, abbreviated as "SPEW"), the acronym for the organization unfortunately has the same spelling as the English word "vomit". )”

"Hahahahahaha! Hermione is so whimsical! Hahahahahaha!"

"What does this Muggle wizard want?" Draco looked at the badge in disgust.

"You'd better return this badge as soon as possible. From what I know about Granger, she will definitely ask them to wear the badge endlessly." It was Taoist Lingxu.

"No matter what she wants to do, anyway, I agree to improve the treatment of house elves, but I firmly oppose liberating them." Daphne said.

"House-elves are a race that our wizards conquered in ancient times. They must serve us as slaves, and they must not complain. Damn Pot, he let go of the elves of our Malfoy family!"

"That's right, during the World Cup, an elf told me that Dobby has obtained the so-called freedom, but now he is thinking wildly and doing nothing, sad!" Hilbert held the Shafik family with his left hand. The ring said.

All of the Slytherins were in unanimous agreement against the freeing of the house-elves in order to avoid another incident of house-elves doing nothing.

Taoist Lingxu did not respond to their matter, but was thinking, will Voldemort return this year?And is Barty Crouch Jr. impersonating Alastor Moody?

The next day is Saturday, a day for sleeping in.Most of the Slytherins who are old enough said that they should judge the situation and not sign up for the time being.And some asked if they wanted to throw Hilbert's name in, and immediately he drew a magical greeting from Daphne, Astoria, and Aleena.The guy ended up spending three days with Madam Pomfrey.Enjoyed the torment of bitter haha ​​herbal soup. (Hilbert: This is the fate of messing with me, my women will love you well!)

After more than ten minutes, Hilbert and a large group of Slytherin students came to the auditorium to watch the play after washing up.The Goblet of Fire stood on a shelf in the center of the hall, with a thin square of gold coil drawn on the floor, ten feet on each side, surrounding the goblet.

The Durmstrang students who had just put their names into the Goblet of Fire were leaving the foyer, now only a group of Hogwarts students were watching.

At this time, a group of students from the Badger House surrounded the prefect Cedric and came to the Goblet of Fire to deliver the parchment with Cedric's name on it.Looking at the more intense flames, Taoist Lingxu came up with the idea of ​​grilling on the Goblet of Fire.However, it was soon interrupted by students who came suddenly. One student who was underage even threw his name into it with a fishing rod. As a result, the unhappy Goblet of Fire threw them together and hit Taoist Lingxu .Here is a moment of silence for Professor Lingxu.

The golden line drawn by Dumbledore was only ten feet long on a side, which was a little over three meters.The Goblet of Fire placed in the middle is only 1.5 meters away from the gold thread, so it is not difficult to throw the parchment into a ball.As a result, several students who wanted to do this were cast by the Goblet of Fire, and the ball of parchment flew back and fell on their heads.

Beauxbatons' students were coming in from the grounds through the front door, and among them was the veela-like girl.Those around the Goblet of Fire stepped back to let them pass, and watched eagerly.

Madame Maxime followed her pupils into the hall and ordered them to line up.One by one, Booth Barton's students crossed the age line, throwing their parchments into the blue-and-white flames.As each name was thrown into the flames, the flames quickly turned red and sparkled.After Olivia voted, Furong and Furong smiled lightly at the crowd of melon-eating men, and the souls of all those with weak resistance were instantly sucked away.Hilbert was on the sidelines discussing the house elves with Harry's trio. —because he flatly refused to join the spew when Hermione showed him the badge. "It's not a good thing for them, Hermione," said Hilbert, with his hands behind his back. "It's their nature to take care of humans, and they like it, understand? They'd be sad if they weren't allowed to work, And to pay them is an insult to them."

"But Dobby couldn't be happier that Harry had freed Dobby!" said Hermione, "and we hear he's now asking for his wages!"

"Yeah, yeah, there are freaks in every creature. I don't deny that there are a few weird little elves who want to be free, but you'll never be able to convince most of them to be free—really, the Impossible, Hermione."

"Why are you like Hagrid and the others!" Hermione said angrily. "Hagrid? They? How many people have you found?"

"Except for the professor, everyone else has spread it." Ron said, shaking his head with his elbows folded.

"Although, I also oppose their freedom, but I am not opposed to improving their treatment! Do you know Dobby's current situation? He thinks all day long, idles around and needs help from other elves to live. It's not as good as the original life, Just look at the Poppy I gave to Ron's family!"

They walked out of the auditorium without noticing Professor Lingxu's expression of choice.
