In the evening, Andy and Qiu Zhang walked out of Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They looked at the castle with a guilty conscience:"After such a long time, everything should be fine, right?"

Qiu Zhang looked at Andy:"If you want to be expelled , we might as well find a way to blow up the Goblet of Fire before we leave. Now we can play Quidditch again."

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

Of course Andy could foresee what would happen to him after he broke through the age limit.

So he took Qiu Zhang and ran away early.

They ran to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and played with the blasting-tailed skrewts raised by Hagrid for a whole day.

During this time, the sound of the blasting-tailed skrewts exploding would echo throughout the area from time to time.

If the blasting-tailed skrewts could speak, they would definitely accuse Andy of his brutality with disgust.

But everyone, including Hagrid, was either looking for them in the castle or maintaining order.

It was impossible to imagine that Andy and Qiu Zhang were hiding outside the castle.

At the same time, inside the hall, Dumbledore, Bagman and Crouch were still standing next to the Goblet of Fire.

Crouch seemed to have made up his mind to stay here until the registration deadline.

Today is Halloween, and when the holiday dinner begins, the registration will officially end.

Moody walked in and whispered a few words to Dumbledore.

After getting Dumbledore's approval, he said to Crouch:"Let me guard it for a while. Those little guys may be able to fool the Goblet of Fire, but they can't fool me."

Ludo Bagman said,"Thank God! We can finally take a break."

Crouch subconsciously wanted to refute, Dumbledore said,"Alastor can be trusted, and we should also prepare for the dinner and the next procedures."

Crouch thought for a while, and finally compromised,"Okay, but there can't be any more accidents with the Goblet of Fire."

Moody smiled coldly,"Don't worry, unless I die."

Dumbledore and others nodded, handed the Goblet of Fire to Moody, and left the hall.

Moody didn't really breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Dumbledore and others leave.

A junior student who was late and wanted to register passed by, Moody glared at him, and before he said anything, the student ran away in fear.

When Andy and Qiu Zhang returned to the castle, they just caught up with the start of the banquet.

Wherever the two passed, students recognized them and would cheer.

They were all classmates who successfully registered with the help of Andy.

"Andy! Our hero!"

"If I become a warrior, I will give you half of the prize money!"

Andy became excited and stopped to say,"11111, are we really going to share the prize money?"

The second-year student who had just shouted immediately shut up and avoided Andy's gaze.

Professor Flitwick came over:"You two, take your seats, everyone is watching."

Andy and Qiu Zhang hurriedly sat down.

Not long after they came back, the banquet officially began.

Two consecutive days of banquets had made most people feel uninterested. The highlight of tonight was the Goblet of Fire and who would be chosen as a warrior.

The Goblet of Fire was placed back in the middle of the hall so that everyone could see it.

The dinner started quickly, and after everyone had eaten their fill, Dumbledore stood up again.

He waved his wand, and most of the lights in the hall went out, leaving only a few candlelights and the blue and white flames on the Goblet of Fire flickering.

No one dared to make a sound, and the hall became silent.

Only Dumbledore said loudly:"The Goblet of Fire will make a decision soon. Before that, I would like to say a few words"

"As many of you know, there was a little accident today."

"Many students broke through the age limit and put their names into the Goblet of Fire."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the Ravenclaw table.

The hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for him to continue.

Dumbledore realized that he had made the atmosphere too tense, so he smiled again and said,"I have discussed this situation with the two gentlemen from the Ministry of Magic. I must admit that this is an unexpected accident."

"The result of the Goblet of Fire cannot be changed. Any name put into the Goblet of Fire has the opportunity to become a warrior representing their respective school."

A huge cheer suddenly broke out in the hall.

Dumbledore poured cold water on them and said,"But I hope you realize that this is a very serious choice."

"I repeat, once you are chosen as a warrior, it is equivalent to signing a contract with the Goblet of Fire."

"You can't quit the game until something unexpected happens, or——"

The blue-white flames in the Goblet of Fire suddenly surged and turned fiery red, echoing in the auditorium together with Dumbledore's voice.

"——die."
