Hogwarts Scholar System

When they entered the candlelit auditorium, it was nearly full.The Goblet of Fire had been moved and now stood in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff table.

"Maple!" Hermione saw Maple who was already sitting down waiting for them, and immediately left Harry and Ron and walked over.

Another inhumane guy of the opposite sex. Hagrid abandoned them, and now he was abandoned by Hermione. Harry and Ron, the brothers in trouble, were really heartbroken.

At this time, they finally discovered the benefits of each other, and they would not leave themselves alone and pitiful.

"Maple, where have you been today?" Hermione asked, sitting next to Maple.

"Fred and George are in the hospital. You go and deliver some food to the ghosts. When the Triwizard Tournament champions are announced now, you won't be able to take care of them." Maple said, and then asked, "Where are you? I'll be back. I won’t be able to find you people after that.”

"We went to Hagrid's for a day," Hermione said.

"Oh I got it."

"I also told Hagrid about the TV show. Hagrid was very interested and talked to me for several hours." Hermione said.

"Hagrid is very good at taking care of animals. I believe Mr. Newt Scamander should have a lot in common with Hagrid," Maple said.

"Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Creatures Where to Find Them?" Hermione said.

"Yes, I also heard," Maple suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "Mr. Newt once raised a Winged Demon."

"Wing-winged demon? That kind of demon that eats human brains?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"good."

"No wonder you said he and Hagrid have a lot in common." Hermione said. She has seen Hagrid's hobbies more than once, including Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback, Aragog the Acromantula, and now Explosive Tail. screw.She never expected that the author of "Magical Creatures Out There" would be someone who, like Hagrid, had a soft spot for dangerous monsters.

They chatted indifferently, and they didn't even know when Harry and Ron were sitting next to them.

"Ahem," when Fred and George also looked at them with smiles, Maple finally realized that the people around them were staring at them, and coughed a few times to change the subject.

"I wonder who the warrior will be tonight?"

"I really hope it's Angelina!" Hermione immediately added.

"Don't worry, we'll find out soon," Maple said.Neither he nor Hermione spoke anymore. After a while, the Halloween feast began, and a few annoying big light bulbs finally stopped staring at them.

This was probably the most uncomfortable banquet they had ever had. The food was exquisite and the desserts were delicious, but they had little appetite and forgot the taste of the food they ate as soon as they swallowed it.

Because they were all looking forward to knowing who the champion of the Triwizard Tournament was, this was the first time that they felt that the banquet was so torturous and they wanted to end it quickly.

At this banquet, the amount of food they ate was less than half that of yesterday. It was really a waste of the house elves' hard work.

Finally, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the voices in the auditorium suddenly became much louder.Immediately, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again.

Karkaroff and Madame Maxime on either side of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else.Ludo Bagman was smiling and winking at the students from various schools, while Mr. Crouch looked uninterested, which could be said to be a little bored.

"Well, it's time for the goblet to be decided," said Dumbledore. "I reckon it will take another minute. Listen, once the names of the champions have been announced, I want them to walk to the top of the Great Hall and along the staff Desks go over and go into that room next door," he pointed to the door behind the faculty desk, "where they'll get their initial instruction."

He took out his wand and waved it widely.Immediately, except for the candles in the jack-o-lantern, all the other candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.The Goblet of Fire was now emitting a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting with sparks were simply dazzling.Everyone watched and waited. . .

Amid everyone's expectations, the flame in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out.Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it. Everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words on it by the light of the flames.The flames now returned to blue-white color.

"The champion of Durmstrang," he said clearly and forcefully, "is Viktor Krum."

"Not surprising at all!" Ron shouted as applause and cheers swept through the auditorium.Viktor Krum stood up from the Slytherin table and walked listlessly towards Dumbledore.He turned to the right, walked along the staff table, and entered the next room through the door.

"Awesome, Viktor!" Karkaroff roared loudly, and despite the loud applause in the auditorium, everyone could hear his voice, "I know you are destined to be a warrior!"

The applause and chatter died down.Everyone's attention was now focused on the goblet again, and after a few seconds the flames turned red again.The second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup, propelled by the flames.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!"

"It's her, Ron!" Harry shouted, and saw the girl who looked like a Veela stood up gracefully, shook her silver hair, and moved lightly from Ravenclaw to Hufflepuff. Walk between the tables.

"Oh, look, they're all disappointed," Hermione said over the din, nodding to the other Beauxbatons representatives.More than just disappointed, the two girls who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried sadly.

When Fleur Delacour also entered the next room, the auditorium fell silent again, and this time the silence was filled with intense excitement that could be tasted.Now it’s the turn of the Hogwarts warriors, and what they are most looking forward to——

At this time, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks burst out, tongues of fire shot high into the air, and Dumbledore pulled out the third piece of parchment from the tip of the tongues of fire.

"The Champion of Hogwarts," he shouted, "is Cedric Diggory!"

"Oops!" Ron shouted, but no one heard him except Harry. The cheers on the table next to him were deafening.Every Hufflepuff was jumping up and down, screaming and stamping their feet, when Cedric walked past them, smiling broadly, toward the room behind the staff desk.The cheers for Cedric lasted for a long time, and it took a long time for Dumbledore to quiet everyone down and listen to him.

"Great!" Dumbledore exclaimed happily when the noise finally died down. "Well, now our three warriors have been chosen. I know I can count on you all, including Beauxbatons and Other Durmstrang students, you will definitely support your warriors with all your strength. By cheering for the warriors, you will also make a great contribution to this event——"

But Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking, and everyone saw what attracted his attention.

The flame in the goblet turned red again.Sparks crackled and flew out.A long tongue of fire suddenly jumped into the air, and another piece of parchment was held up on it.

As if subconsciously, Dumbledore stretched out a slender hand and grabbed the parchment.He held it far away and stared at the name written on it.There was a long silence as Dumbledore stared at the note in his hand. Everyone in the auditorium stared at Dumbledore.Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read loudly——

"Harry Potter."

As Harry sat there, he realized that everyone in the Great Hall had turned their heads and looked at him.He was stunned, his mind went blank.He must be dreaming.He must have heard wrong just now.

There was no applause.A buzzing sound began to fill the auditorium, like countless angry bees chirping.Some students even stood up to get a better look at Harry, but Harry sat stiffly in his seat, as if frozen.

Professor McGonagall stood up at the guest of honor seat, walked quickly past Ludo Bagman and Professor Karkaroff, and whispered eagerly in Professor Dumbledore's ear. Dumbledore listened attentively and frowned slightly. He frowned.

Harry turned to look at Ron and Hermione.He saw the students at the long Gryffindor table behind them staring at him with their mouths open.

"I didn't put my name in," Harry said blankly. "You know I didn't."

They were also confused and stared at him blankly.

At the guest of honor seat, Professor Dumbledore straightened up and nodded towards Professor McGonagall.

"Harry Potter!" he shouted again. "Harry! Please come up here!"

"Go ahead," Hermione urged quietly, nudging Harry slightly.

Harry stood up and stumbled slightly on the hem of his robes.He walked along the passage between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables.He felt that this road seemed extremely long, and the guest of honor seat seemed always so far away.

He could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, as if each eye couldn't be a searchlight.The buzzing chatter became louder and louder.It seemed like an entire hour passed before he finally reached Dumbledore and felt the eyes of all the teachers on him.

"Well, go to that door, Harry," said Dumbledore, without a smile on his face.

"Harry, go ahead, what are you doing?" Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking, because he followed Harry's gaze and found that the flame of the Goblet of Fire was shining again, sparks crackling out, and another wave was sent out. A new piece of parchment.

"Hermione Granger!" After the previous accident, Dumbledore read out the name quickly this time, but his face was even uglier than before.

Under Dumbledore's eyes, two accidents happened in succession. This was a serious provocation to him. Dumbledore's face was ashen.The last time he was so angry was when Dementors entered the Quidditch field without permission.

If there was just a buzz of doubts in the ground just now, and this time when Hermione's name was read out, it was Gryffindor, and the students in other houses, especially Hufflepuff, were almost furious. .

The most angry among the students was not the Hufflepuff students, but——

Maple!

He stood up suddenly, releasing a terrifying aura around him.

Will the prophecy be fulfilled?

Hermione's name shouldn't have appeared. Was it his fault?

It's to deal with me!Damn it!

The magic power of wizards is the same as that of the Uchiha clan, which is too easily influenced by emotions. In anger, Maple released astonishing magic power, which shocked Hermione and Ron around her.

It was so scary, as if a piece of ice had fallen into his clothes, and a chill went straight to the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Ron, who had lived with Maple for more than three years, felt that he was so strange and so scary.

"Maple!" Hermione pulled Maple's sleeve, and Maple turned her cold eyes. After seeing it was Hermione, she quickly regained her composure and sat down.

"Maple, what's wrong with you?" Hermione said with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, I just lost my temper a little," Maple said.After calming down, Maple quickly noticed a gaze falling on him. He turned his gaze and looked back and forth on the faces of several professors, then showed a confused expression.

But when he looked back, there was an icy chill in his heart——

Notice me, Barty Crouch Jr.!

However, it seems that the fake Moody does not know the entire inside story. He is just cooperating with those behind the scenes or is just a pawn being used.

Want to test my skills with Hermione?

Damn it!You totally pissed me off!You'd better hide in the dark forever and never show your face, otherwise I will let you know the price of irritating me!

Dumbledore raised his hand, and the messy auditorium immediately fell silent, "Hermione, please come here and go to that door with Harry."

"I -" Hermione's performance at this moment was not much better than that of Harry just now. She also looked confused and a little nervous and scared, but a pair of warm and strong hands held her -

"I'll go with you." Maple also stood up and joined her.

"Yeah." Hermione seemed to suddenly have the courage, and she and Maple walked hand in hand to the stage. Professor McGonagall saw that this was against the rules and wanted to stop her, but Maple raised her head and looked at her. Showing a stubborn expression.

Professor McGonagall seemed defeated and turned her attention to Dumbledore.Feeling Dumbledore's scrutinizing gaze, Maple still insisted and refused to let go.

After a while, Dumbledore spoke: "Harry, Hermione, hurry up and don't keep the other warriors waiting."

With Hermione joining him and no longer alone, Harry's inner uneasiness immediately eased a lot.His steps were much more sure-footed than when he walked to the stage just now. The three of them walked all the way out of the auditorium and came to a small room with portraits of wizards hanging on the walls on both sides.In the hearth opposite him a fire was burning brightly.

As they entered, all the faces in the portraits turned to look at them.A crumpled witch swooped out of her frame and into the frame next to hers, where a wizard with a walrus beard appeared.The wrinkled witch began to bite his ear quietly.

Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delacour were all gathered around the fire.Against the backdrop of the flames, the three figures made a particularly strong impression.Krum leaned against the mantelpiece, hunched over and thinking about something, slightly distancing himself from the other two people.Cedric stood with his hands behind his back, staring into the fire.As they walked in, Fleur Delacour turned her head and shook her cascading silver hair.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Do they want us to go back to the auditorium?"

"Of course not, Harry is the fourth warrior in the Triwizard Tournament!"

Viktor Krum stood up straight and looked Harry up and down, with a gloomy expression on his arrogant face.Cedric looked bewildered.He looked at Maple and then at Harry, thinking that he must not have heard what Maple said clearly.

Fleur Delacour shook her long hair, smiled brightly, and said: "Oh, this joke is very interesting."

Before Maple could speak, footsteps slowly approached, and Ludo Bagman walked into the room.He grabbed Harry's arm, but paid no attention to Maple and Hermione.

"How bizarre!" he murmured in a low voice, squeezing Harry's arm. "It's absolutely bizarre! Gentlemen and madam," he walked towards the fireside and said to the other three people, "please allow me to Let me introduce - as incredible as this may seem - this is the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament!"

Fleur was stunned. If the first time Maple spoke, she thought it was a silly joke, but now that the second person said the same thing, and he was one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament, it was no longer a joke. Simple.

"What about them? You won't tell me that they are the fifth and sixth warriors, right?" Fleur Delacour saw Maple and Hermione coming with Harry again, and said sarcastically.

"No, I'm not a warrior, I just came here with my girlfriend who became a warrior." Maple said before Ludo Bagman could speak.In front of so many people, Maple still held Hermione's hand tightly, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Fleur did not look at Hermione, but looked at Maple carefully.

What a nice boyfriend, but that doesn't justify multiple Hogwarts warriors——

"If I heard correctly, the three warriors of Hogwarts?" Krum's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, Cedric still showed a cultured look of confusion, and only Fleur boldly said Speak out your doubts.

"Yeah, it's really surprising," Bagman rubbed his smooth chin, his eyes still only staring at Harry, and said, "But their names all sprayed out from the Goblet of Fire, that is to say , the Goblet of Fire has recognized them as warriors."

The door behind them was pushed open again, and a large group of people came in: Professor Dumbledore, followed closely by Mr. Crouch, Professor Karkaroff, Mrs. Maxim, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape. .Before Professor McGonagall closed the door, hundreds of students were buzzing with discussion from the auditorium next door.

"Madame Maxime!" Fleur said immediately, striding towards her principal, "They said these two children are also going to participate in the competition!"

Child?Harry and Hermione felt offended, but noticing the situation, they sensibly kept their mouths shut.
