People at the long tables of the four colleges kept cheering, but many people looked confused. As a common sense of culture in the wizarding world, it was obvious that people like Harry would not pass the test.

I don’t know that most of the Triwizard Tournament are young wizards of Muggle origin. This is understandable. They have only been exposed to magic for less than ten years. In this aspect, they are naturally not as good as those who have been born in the magical world since childhood. Boy, that's a cultural barrier.

Dumbledore was a considerate old man and said: "Some of you must still not know what this competition is about, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for explaining it a little bit. I allow their minds to wander for a while."

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to establish friendship. However, later, there were too many deaths, and the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued. Interrupted. "

Dumbledore opened and closed his mouth several times, seeming to feel sorry for the pause in this grand event.

"Death count?" Hermione whispered, looking around in shock.But most of the students in the auditorium were not as nervous as she was, and many of them whispered excitedly.

"Albert, you won't participate, will you?" Hermione pulled Albert's right hand.

Albert's expression was not as excited as Harry and Ron's, and his expression was as calm as usual, "Let's first listen to what Professor Dumbledore said."

"Over the centuries, people have made several attempts to revive the Tournament," Dumbledore continued to explain, "but none of them have been successful. However, our Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic believe that another attempt The time has come.

We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that no warrior's life is in danger. "

Among everyone present, only Albert and some professors knew that Dumbledore's last words were nonsense. At least he didn't do a lot of work in this area. He probably spent his entire summer vacation searching for Voldemort's Horcruxes.

The security work of Hogwarts must have been left to Professor McGonagall by the old bee, just like the sorting department.

"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will come with their carefully selected contenders, and the selection ceremony will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete. In the Triwizard Cup, you can win honor for your school, and you can also receive a thousand galleons in prize money personally.”

Hearing the words "one thousand gold galleons", almost everyone's breath froze. Even the pure-blood nobles of Slytherin, most families would not be able to come up with such a large amount of money at once.

It can be said that one thousand gold galleons is the income of a middle-class family in the wizarding world for several years, and it is an irresistible temptation for all Hogwarts students.

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts," he said, "but the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic have agreed to set an age limit for this year's contenders. Only those aged 17 or over , that is to say, only students over 17 years old are allowed to register for consideration. We feel, "

"That's unreasonable!" The Weasley twins were very excited. They were still almost 17 years old. If Dumbledore strictly followed Dumbledore's words, their way to obtain 1000 gold galleons would have been blocked.

"You know, Albert, as long as we become warriors and get 1000 gold galleons, Fred and I won't have to worry about funding for our joke shop." George whispered to Albert.

Dumbledore raised his voice slightly, overpowering all the objections, "This measure is very necessary, because the competition events are still very difficult and dangerous. No matter how many precautions we take, students below the sixth or seventh grade will It is impossible for students to deal with it.

I will personally ensure that no student who is not old enough to deceive our impartial judges becomes a Hogwarts Champion. ” His blue eyes flashed meaningfully as he glanced over the rebellious faces of Fred and George.

"Therefore, if you are under 17, I ask that you do not waste your time applying, of course..."

Dumbledore paused and glanced at the calm Albert in the crowd, "If you can really deceive the fair judge, then I think the judges will think that you have a sufficient level of magic and enough Be a warrior.”

The originally agitated crowd calmed down, and they all fantasized about becoming Hogwarts warriors. They had a mysterious self-confidence and felt that they were very powerful.

They are imagining a beautiful picture of the future, becoming the warriors of Hogwarts, winning the Triwizard Trophy, receiving a thousand gold galleons, winning the favor of beautiful women (beautiful men), and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, interrupting the fantasies of many "daydreamers", and continued:

“Delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive in October and will spend most of the academic year with us.

I know that you will be warm and friendly to our foreign guests during their stay here, and that you will support wholeheartedly the Champion of Hogwarts once he or she is chosen.

Okay, it's getting late now, and it's very important for you to walk into class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed.Go to bed!hurry up! "

In the last few words, Dumbledore obviously used some magic to make the students subconsciously listen to Dumbledore's words.

But when the students entered the common room or lay down on their own soft beds, they immediately reacted:

What did Dumbledore say?

I don’t know, I don’t understand, I didn’t hear clearly.

However, I want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and become a blockbuster!

…………

And Albert was lying on his bed, with the curtains opened by him. The heavy rain outside had stopped, and a bright yellow moon hung in the sky. The soft and intoxicating evening breeze passed through the curtains, blowing away the summer breeze. of heat.

From time to time, a weird "giegie" smile came from the curtain next to him. It seemed to be Harry. I didn't know what he was thinking.

What did Dumbledore mean when he looked at me at the dinner party?

Do you want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament yourself?

In the original work, Cedric Diggory died unjustly. In this life, Albert and he were both members of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club. Albert had good senses about him. If possible, Albert wouldn't I hope an innocent life is lost.

Albert did not lose sleep because of the 1000 gold galleons. He already had countless 1000 gold galleons, and even part of the bonus for the victorious warrior was sponsored by Albert.

The bright moon moved slowly across the sky, slowly moving out of Albert's window. Without the stimulation of the moonlight, sleepiness came over him, and Albert fell into sleep...
