Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 575: Goblet of Fire (3rd watch)

It turned out that when everyone greeted the arrival of the two schools outside the castle, the two officials from the Ministry of Magic in charge of the Triwizard Tournament, Bagman and Crouch, had already arrived at the Hogwarts through the open fireplace. auditorium.

Suppressing the applause of the young wizards with a wave, Dumbledore continued:

"In addition, I have to announce a very important thing to everyone."

After a pause, a smile appeared on his face:

"That is, from today, I will officially retire, and Professor Snape will take my place as the new Headmaster of Hogwarts."

As soon as Dumbledore's voice fell, the entire auditorium was silent at first, and then violent discussions broke out suddenly.

Among them, it goes without saying that Slytherin collectively stood up from their seats and gave warm applause and cheers for their dean to take over as the principal.

On the contrary, the faces of the little Gryffindor wizards were almost all pulled down, and Harry was the most prominent among them.

When he heard that Slytherin was going to take over as headmaster, he felt as if the end of his world was coming.

"Be quiet, next, our new principal, Principal Snape, will explain to everyone the program of activities for the next year!"

Dumbledore silenced the discussion with the Amplifying Charm, invited Snape to the stage with a smile, and then retreated with ease.

From today onwards, he was no longer Headmaster of Hogwarts, everything would be handled by Snape.

Snape, who was dressed in a black robe, got up and walked slowly to the podium upon hearing this.

Seeing Snape's appearance, all the voices of discussion disappeared immediately. Compared with Dumbledore's Amplifying Charm, Snape was obviously much scarier.

Although Dumbledore is the greatest and most powerful wizard in the world, he always has a kind face and a good temper. The little wizards are actually not afraid of him, and even dare to joke with him when they see him.

But Snape was different, just seeing his appearance made many junior wizards tremble with fright.

Snape glanced across the room, after confirming that no one was talking, he asked Filch to carry a wooden box, and began to explain the specific procedure of the Triwizard Tournament:

"There are three competitions in total, the main test is magic ability, which also contains tests of courage, reasoning and wisdom.

There will be three warriors participating in the competition, each school will select one, and five referees will score after each event. After the three events are over, the one with the highest score will win the Tri-Power Cup.

And the selector who selects the warriors is not a person, but a magical item that has been used in the Triwizard Tournament over the years-the Goblet of Fire! "

After Snape finished speaking, he tapped the wooden box Filch handed over three times with his wand, and the lid of the wooden box creaked open immediately, revealing a large, roughly carved wooden goblet inside.

The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.

Picking up the cup and placing it where everyone could see, Snape continued:

"Every student who wants to run for a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. Those who are willing to become a warrior can sign up within 24 hours.

Tomorrow night, Halloween night, the Goblet will select the three wizards it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet sits in the foyer, accessible to all students who wish to run. "

Afterwards, Snape specifically talked about the age limit issue, and asked everyone to think calmly, because once selected as a warrior by the Goblet of Fire, they would no longer be able to withdraw.

However, it was obvious that most of the little wizards didn't take his last words to heart, but all stared at the big wooden cup that was blazing with eager eyes.

After Snape's explanation was over, the welcome banquet officially began.

Out of caution, Jerry also strengthened the effect of the wizard's shielding spell at this time, so that wizards other than the professor level would ignore his existence.

Therefore, such a funny scene appeared in the auditorium next.

Those were the witches from Durmstrang who were sitting at the same long table as Slytherin. They excitedly took out the pens and notebooks in their bags, got up and walked towards Jerry.

However, when they were halfway there, their eyes suddenly showed a blank look, as if they had forgotten what they were looking for when they got up and walked out of their positions.

Then he returned to his position again.

But after they ate for a while, they immediately thought of something again, excitedly took out the pen and notebook in the bag and got up again, and then repeated the previous situation.

If there were just a few of them, they wouldn't attract much attention.

The key is that the witches of Beauxbatons, who was sitting with La Wen Keluo, were also the same, especially Fleur, who was watched by most of the men.

But every time I walked halfway, I turned around and went back.

Fortunately, Jerry's wizard shielding spell is so powerful that although everyone feels something is wrong, but no one except Dumbledore realizes that it is Jerry.

And although Dumbledore sensed that Jerry cast some kind of spell, he just smiled and didn't point it out.

He thinks this kind of Jerry is very good. If it is said that he still thought that Jerry was a bit like Voldemort in every aspect, because at that time, Jerry seemed to be radiating his own radiance, and then let everyone be suppressed by his radiance. Down.

If it develops later, maybe it will start to subdue these admirers like Voldemort did back then, and then form his own forces.

But the current Jerry, is restraining his own brilliance everywhere, and has become like a Buddha. In addition to discussing magic with his little girlfriend in class, he even invented a special magic spell that can make others ignore him.

In Dumbledore's eyes, this was the existence of no ambition, and it was one of the reasons why he retired with confidence.

At the end of the dinner, Carlof took Durmstrang's students back to their ghost ship, and Maxim took Beauxbaton's students back to the chariot carriage.

Apparently, they didn't intend to stay at Hogwarts castle at night.

Although the whole dinner seemed very harmonious, the competition among the three schools is an indisputable fact, and the next step is to select the warriors, so naturally there must be a private space for each of them.

Maybe they are also worried that they will be monitored or overheard if they stay in Hogwarts Castle to discuss tactics in the later school.

In the end, the Hogwarts students also returned to their dormitories, leaving only the Goblet of Fire placed high on the podium in the auditorium, and the magic circle of age lines set up by the five referees around the Goblet of Fire. .
