Chinese students at Hogwarts.

"Super Goblet of Fire!"

Harry held his breath, prepared to stand up and cheer as soon as Dumbledore made the announcement, but when Dumbledore finally said the big thing he had been waiting for for a long time.

But he found that he couldn't understand it at all.

Harry pulled Ron beside him with a confused look on his face:

"What is the Goblet of Fire?"

"I don't know - but it seems to be very powerful." Ron was also a little confused, because too much time has passed, and even the famous Goblet of Fire only exists in the memories of some people with the passage of time. .

Unexpectedly, Fred and George seemed to know. They held their heads in shock and shouted in unison:

"Professor, are you kidding? That's the Triwizard Cup!"

Dumbledore also laughed.

"I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley," he said, "but since you mentioned joking, I heard a very funny joke about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun. They all Entered the same pub..."

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.

The comedy effect of this scene was much better than the joke Dumbledore was about to tell, and the auditorium was suddenly filled with the joyful laughter of the little wizard.

Zhang Xiao laughed especially loudly. He suddenly discovered that Dumbledore and his grandfather were really similar. They both had the same humorous character as an old child.

They don't care what others think, it's enough to just be themselves. Is this the inevitable result after reaching a certain level of cultivation?

"Oh - it's probably not appropriate to say this now...not appropriate..." Dumbledore said, "Where did I just say it? Ah, by the way, the Super Goblet of Fire!"

Dumbledore opened his hands to signal everyone to quiet down.

"The Triwizard Tournament...I think many of you still don't know what the prototype tournament of the Super Goblet of Fire is about, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for explaining a little bit here, and I allow them Let your mind wander for a while."

The young wizards below let out soft laughter again. Those who knew the Triwizard Tournament nodded and generously expressed their agreement to the principal's request.

It's just that they didn't desert, but listened to Dumbledore's speech more seriously. It was because they knew the weight of the Triwizard Cup that they were shocked and excited by this super Goblet of Fire, which was said to cover most of the world. .

Dumbledore clasped his hands in front of him and said in a loud voice:

“The first is the prototype event, the Triwizard Tournament, which was a competition that originated more than 700 years ago.

It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.

These three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and they are also three very famous schools in Europe.

The rules are that each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects. The school that ultimately wins will have the right to keep the Goblet of Fire.

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 friendships - but later, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament It was interrupted. "

"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. Harry was also eager to hear the specific details of the Triwizard Tournament. He was not interested in those who died more than a hundred years ago.

"Death?" Malfoy had a similar reaction to Hermione. He opened his mouth and said, "The event was stopped when there were too many deaths? I thought the event would be stopped after just one death."

Zhang Xiao smacked his lips. Don’t you know what kind of virtue a wizard has? No matter what happens, you have to die twice. St. Mungo's has two entire floors dedicated to those brave wizards who seek death.

Some people get masks, hats, etc. by chance, and put them on with great interest, regardless of whether there is a curse or something inside.

Some people found very old books from the store, which recorded suspicious experiments, rituals, etc. Their reaction was actually, 'This thing seems very interesting, I want to do it according to it. ’

All in all, the low number of wizards makes sense.

"There have been several attempts to restore the Tournament over the centuries," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful.

However, our Ministry believes the time is ripe for another try.

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

The noise in the auditorium began to be filled with the noise of the little wizards, which became louder and louder.

Dumbledore also had to raise his voice:

“Also, we took advantage of the opportunity of hosting the Quidditch World Cup and successfully held director-level meetings across five continents.

After many discussions and deliberations, it was confirmed by the International Federation of Wizards that this year, we will hold a Super Contest covering the whole world!

At that time, the principals of the world's famous magic schools will lead their carefully selected participants, and the ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween.

An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to participate in this unprecedented super competition and win honor for their school.

And the bonus is as high as 1 Galleons! "

"boom!"

These words were like pouring a ladle of water into a hot pan of oil, causing the entire auditorium to explode.

The little wizards roared and jumped down from their positions, raised their hands, and cheered loudly.

Their faces lit up with excitement at the thought of the possibility of obtaining such honor and wealth.

Malfoy celebrated particularly passionately, not realizing that he had previously thought that such a deadly event as the Goblet of Fire should be stopped.

It seems that he has been appointed as the brave man to represent Slytherin in the competition.

However, it is understandable that Malfoy does not lack ten thousand galleons, but this opportunity to show himself in front of the world and obtain the highest honor is what he has always longed for!

Zhang Xiao also stood up and said that the person who was really confirmed was the Little Heavenly Master!

At every house table, young wizards stared feverishly at Dumbledore or whispered excitedly to their neighbors.

But Dumbledore spoke again, and the auditorium became quiet again.

“Participants in the competition include:

Located in France: Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

In Scandinavia: Durmstrang Academy;

Based in the UK: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

Located in Russia: Kodosdorez;

Located in Japan: Magical House;

In Uganda: Wagadu School of Magic;

In Brazil: Castrobusche;

In the United States: Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

And a school that cannot be announced yet. "

Every time Dumbledore mentioned the name of a school, the students became more excited. Many people didn't know that there were so many magic schools in the world.

Zhang Xiao took a breath. The school that cannot be announced for the time being should be Longhu Mountain. Is Longhu Mountain considered a school?

It doesn't count, because Dao Sect does not have such a specialized school that gathers students from the entire region to teach, but still uses the ancient master-apprentice system.

But Longhu Mountain does also undertake functions similar to Hogwarts, which is to select suitable candidates and teach them.

However, except for themselves, not many people care about this school whose name cannot be announced for the time being. They are more eager to know how to become a warrior in the school.

Fred and George stood up and shouted:

"Professor, tell me quickly, we can't wait, how to choose the warriors of each school!"

Dumbledore nodded happily:

“Of course, that’s the most important thing.

I know you all want to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts.

But after discussions between all the schools and the Ministry of Magic, we decided to make a complete change to the format to adapt to the new competition.

Many schools insist that just being a warrior cannot prove the level of the school at all. On the contrary, luck is a much bigger factor.

Although luck is a part of strength, luck does not represent the strength of the school, so——

The Ministry of Magic and participating colleges agree that they will register in teams! "

Dumbledore raised his voice slightly, because the noise made by the little wizards almost brought down the roof!

"Yes, you heard it right, we will be in teams! We will adopt a 5+1 approach!

That is, 5 regular players and 1 auxiliary staff, such as making plans and serving as substitutes!

And the most important thing is - all members are in third grade or above! "

The little wizards who were clenching their fists with longing and preparing to make a splash were suddenly stunned. They became angry, held their heads, and let out screams of despair and anger.

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became stern:

“This measure is necessary because the events of the Contest are still very difficult and dangerous. No matter how many precautions we take, many things are definitely not something that little wizards below the third grade can deal with!

I will personally ensure that no student who is not old enough to deceive our impartial judges becomes a Hogwarts Champion. "

There was a serious gleam in his blue eyes: "Therefore, if you are not in fourth grade, I beg you not to waste your time applying."

“Delegations from each school will arrive in October and spend most of the school 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.

More detailed registration rules will be posted on the notice board!

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! "
