Hogwarts Passer-By Professor

The moment Dumbledore finished speaking, everyone froze.

This news can be said to instantly detonate the audience.

Because the Quidditch World Cup has just ended for a week. Although there was a little accident after the game, everyone was holding their breath and was planning to have a big fight in the Quidditch match. Who would have thought that Dumbledore would directly announce that he would not play? up!

Harry turned to his Gryffindor Quidditch teammates - Fred and George - who were also staring silently at Dumbledore with their mouths open. As if that would make Dumbledore take back what he had said.

Eisen noticed that whether it was Gryffindor or La Wen Keluo, the expressions on the faces of all the students even froze. Their shocked expressions already showed their feelings.

In fact, Eisen could basically understand the reactions of the little wizards.

Because there are indeed too few means of entertainment in the wizarding world. It is rare that the entire wizarding world, whether it is an adult wizard or a minor wizard, likes the sport of Quidditch. As a result, Hogwarts also canceled it.

In this case, how will the little wizards persist in this school year?

"It can't be—" Ron couldn't help shouting.

"Why is this happening? I took good care of my rocket crossbow during the holidays!" Harry seemed to have regained his composure, and when he remembered that the Fire crossbow he had cared for during the holidays was no longer useful, he looked sad.

For a moment, the discussion of the little wizards seemed to be roaring, trying to overturn the entire auditorium.

"Well, I have to say—" Dumbledore opened his hand and made a pressing motion, "The reason why Quidditch isn't played this year is because a big event will start in October and continue throughout the school year.

This activity took up a lot of teachers' energy and time, but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it. Let me tell you that this event has not been held for more than a century, and I am very honored to tell you that the very exciting event of the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year! "

"You're kidding!" Fred Weiss yelled loudly.

"Ha, I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "But since you mentioned joking, I have heard a very funny joke about..."

Seeing Dumbledore so interested, Professor McGonagall had to clear his throat loudly.

"Fred, George, the Triwizard Tournament is something very interesting that Bill, Charlie, and Mom and Dad said?" Ron seemed to remember something, and looked at the two of them in a hurried voice.

"Charlie said he would see us soon, so they were talking about the Triwizard Tournament?" George had a look of surprise on his face.

Afterwards, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Professor Eisen said that Dumbledore will tell us, probably this is it!" Hermione nodded, the expression on her face was not so disappointed.

"Oh, it's inappropriate to say this now." Reminded by Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore twirled his beard with a little embarrassment, and then continued with a smile, "The Triwizard Tournament... by the way, some of you may not You know, what the hell is going on with this game.

So, those who know the situation, please forgive my slightly long-winded explanation, and I will allow their minds to wander for a while. "

As Dumbledore spoke, his tone paused slightly, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he nodded in satisfaction.

Despite Dumbledore's words, Eisen noticed that most of the students were quite aware of it. Except for students like Hermione, Harry, etc. who grew up in Muggle families, other students actually knew what the Triwizard Tournament was all about.

In fact, it makes sense, after all, no matter how casual the family education in the wizarding world is, it will not ignore the honorary event of the Triwizard Tournament.

The Triwizard Tournament started more than seven hundred years ago, and it was held by the three largest magic schools in Europe. Besides Hogwarts, there is also Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

For all the students at that time, this event was the best battlefield for glory. It has a long history and has been held every five years for six hundred years. However, the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted a century ago because of too many deaths.

When some uninformed students heard the death toll that Dumbledore said when he introduced the Triwizard Tournament, they were shocked a lot.

Of course, most of the students who already knew the inside story whispered excitedly.

"Over the centuries, there have been several attempts to restore the Tournament," Dumbledore continued, smiling, "but none of them were successful.

However, our Ministry of Magic's International Magical Cooperation Department and Magical Sports Department believe that the time is ripe to try again. We have done a lot of preparatory work this summer to ensure that every warrior's life will not be in danger. "

Hearing this, the corner of Eisen's mouth couldn't help twitching. He feels that some efforts to bring back the Triwizard Tournament should be questionable. After all, like Dumbledore said, the death toll was a big sticking point.

However, the timing of the Triwizard Tournament was just right. After all, with such a big event happening at the Quidditch World Cup some time ago, the Ministry of Magic must want to divert the public's attention.

After scanning the students sitting at the long table, Eisen suppressed the urge to yawn, thinking about the selection of warriors.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Eisen had to agree with the fact that Cedric was good enough. You know, when the trio was in the fourth grade, Cedric was still a sixth grade student.

However, in the entire Hogwarts school, there are so many seventh-grade students, but it is surpassed by a sixth-grade student, which is very admirable.

The young wizards in the audience were still discussing the matter of the Triwizard Tournament enthusiastically, as if they had all been selected as warriors.

Later, Dumbledore on the stage announced that in October, people from Beauxbaton and Durmstrang would come to Hogwarts, and then start selecting warriors on Halloween.

When Dumbledore announced that the winner would get a thousand Galleons, the entire auditorium erupted.

"This is a great opportunity, George!" Fred said excitedly, his face beaming.

"Yes, we must participate!" George said in a low voice, also dreaming of becoming a Hogwarts warrior.

At every house table, there were people watching Dumbledore eagerly, or whispering to their neighbors.

Looking at the students below, the corners of Eisen's mouth curled up slightly. Because he knew Dumbledore hadn't finished speaking.

"However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agreed that there should be an age limit for this year's competitors." Sure enough, Dumbledore continued with a smile.

Under the furious eyes of the Weasley twins, Dumbledore announced the age limit, and if he wanted to sign up, he had to be seventeen years old.

Not only Fred and George, many students below made protests.

"It's not fair, it's discrimination—"

"It's unbelievable that the school excluded us!"

...

"This measure is very necessary, because the events of the Tournament are still very difficult and dangerous!" Dumbledore seemed to have not heard the objections of the young wizards, "Therefore, if you are under seventeen years old, don't waste time submit application."

...

Such an age limit seems very reasonable to Eisen. After all, the abilities of the lower grade students are really poor, and it is true that their lives are in danger if they want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

However, based on the current strength of the trio, Eisen felt that they should have no problem coping with the danger of the Triwizard Tournament.

But obviously, a rule is a rule, and Dumbledore has no right to make an exception for Harry and others.

Even though Dumbledore made the restrictions very clear, the little wizards below were still very excited. They kept discussing about the Triwizard Tournament and who could become the warrior.

"Okay, it's getting late now, it's very important for you to go into class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed. Go to bed! Hurry up!" Seeing the jubilation of the little wizards, Dumbledore deliberately paused for a minute, Then waved to everyone.

Everyone returned to their common room as the principal said. But it could be seen that everyone was very excited, chattering about what they would do if they got a thousand Galleons.

Dumbledore wanted the students to go to bed early, but obviously, there were probably a lot of people who wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
