New Professor at Hogwarts

When Harry and the others walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down, Ron deliberately sat on the side facing the door of the auditorium because Krum and his Durmstrang alumni were still gathering. At the door, it seemed uncertain where they should sit.

The Beauxbatons students had chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table. After they sat down, they looked around the auditorium with sullen expressions on their faces. Three of them still had their heads wrapped tightly with scarves and turbans. .

"It's not that cold," Hermione said dissatisfied, "Why don't they wear cloaks?"

"Here! Come and sit here!" Ron said hoarsely, "Here! Hermione, move over a little bit, make some room..."

"What?"

"Oh, it's too late!" Ron said with a very regretful tone.

Viktor Krum and his fellow Durmstrang alumni had chosen to sit at the Slytherin table.

Harry could see Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle all beaming with pride, and he could see Malfoy leaning forward to talk to Krum.

"Ah, yes, Malfoy is fawning over him." Ron said sharply, "I bet Krum can tell right away what kind of guy he is... I can say with 100% certainty that Krum No matter where he goes, there are people discussing him and fawning over him..."

But he forgot his behavior, remembered one thing, and immediately said excitedly: "You said, where will they sleep? We can provide him with a bed in our dormitory, Harry, I am willing to give up my bed to He slept and I slept on the cot.”

"Oh, come on." Hermione snorted.

"They look much happier than the Beauxbatons group." Harry looked back at the Ravenclaw table. He was not actually looking at his Beauxbatons classmates.

Durmstrang's students took off their heavy fur cloaks and looked up at the dark starry ceiling with interest. Two of the students also picked up the golden plates and goblets and looked at them carefully. , obviously very interested.

Over there at the faculty table, Administrator Filch was adding a few chairs and had donned his musty old tuxedo for the occasion. Harry was surprised to see that he had added four more chairs, two on either side of Dumbledore.

"But there are only two more people, two school principals." Harry wondered, "Why did Filch move out four chairs? Which two other people will come?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Ron said vaguely, still staring at Krum longingly.

After all the students entered the auditorium and took their seats at the tables in their respective houses, the faculty and staff finally came in, and they filed over to the guest of honor seat and sat down.

Xia Ran sat down on his chair.

Walking at the end were Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Madam Maxime. The Beauxbatons students stood up quickly when they saw their principal appearing.

Several Hogwarts students couldn't help but laugh, but the Beauxbatons students didn't look embarrassed at all. It wasn't until Ms. Maxim sat down on Dumbledore's left hand side that they sat down again. Down.

Dumbledore remained standing, and the auditorium gradually became quiet.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and ghosts! Of course, there are also distinguished guests!" Dumbledore said, looking at the foreign students with a smile, "It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hog Watts, I hope and trust that you will feel comfortable and happy here."

A Beauxbatons girl still wrapped her scarf tightly around her head and let out an unmistakable sarcastic sneer.

"No one forced you to stay!" Hermione whispered, she was annoyed by the girl.

Dumbledore seemed not to have heard and continued: "The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet. I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you would at home!"

He sat down, and Karkaroff immediately leaned forward to talk to Dumbledore.

Xia Ran was thinking, I wish I could touch the Goblet of Fire with my own hands.

But now that the Goblet of Fire is still in Filch's hands, he has to find a way to take over Filch's mission.

Because he was thinking too much, even though the plate in front of him was piled with food as usual, the house elves in the kitchen seemed to have tried their best. This was a sumptuous dish that had never been eaten before, with a variety of dishes, including A few of them were definitely foreign, but he still didn't have much of an appetite.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Xia Ran decided that he had to go out and walk around to look for opportunities.

"Hey, Xia Ran, are you full?" Hagrid happened to come in from outside at this time, and the two of them looked at each other.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "When you are full, let's go for a walk." Then she changed the subject and whispered: "Ms. Maxim of Beauxbatons, I think she is very easy to get along with."

Hagrid's face immediately turned red, but it was hidden by his beard so outsiders couldn't see it more clearly.

Xia Ran laughed and stepped out of the auditorium.

Filch, the castle administrator of Hogwarts, seemed to have finished his food and also wandered outside the auditorium for a while, holding a box in his hand.

Is that the box that contains the Goblet of Fire?

Xia Ran's heart immediately pounded.

"Mr. Filch." He coughed lightly.

Filch followed the sound and looked over. He was a little surprised when he saw it was Xia Ran, and asked, "Professor Frémont, what are you doing here?"

"It's a bit boring, let's go for a walk." Xia Ran said and pointed to the wooden box unintentionally, which looked very old. "Is this the Goblet of Fire box?"

"Yes." Filch replied with a nod.

Xia Ran deliberately coughed and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go in and eat something else? You weren't full just now, right? I'll just take this thing in for you later."

Filch was a little hesitant. He was indeed not full yet and wanted to enjoy the lively atmosphere in the auditorium.

"You don't believe me, do you, Mr. Filch?" Xia Ran pretended to be displeased.

"This is definitely not the case." Filch shook his head, hesitated, and then said, "Okay, Professor Frémont, take it. When you hear or see Professor Dumbledore's instructions, you will immediately hold it." This box goes in.”

"Yes, I understand." Xia Ran nodded repeatedly and took the wooden box from Filch's hand, feeling hot inside.

Filch couldn't wait to walk into the Great Hall.

Xia Ran looked around and saw no one around, and there was another burst of noise inside. She walked to a hidden corner and carefully opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing the Goblet of Fire inside.

It was a roughly carved wooden goblet. The cup itself was inconspicuous at all, but it was filled with dancing blue-white flames.

Goblet of Fire!

Xia Ran's eyes were hot. She held the wooden box in one hand and lightly touched the rough wooden goblet with the other hand.

"Triwizard Tournament: Goblet of Fire, Force Points: 200 points, do you want to absorb it?"
