if i am not me

Ron tried his best to solve the food on the plate, but his eyes flicked to the girl sitting at the long table of Ravenclaw College from time to time.

Just now she came over to take a plate of fish soup, and let them see her face that had been hidden behind the scarf all this time - shiny golden long hair reaching to her waist, fair skin with almost no blemishes, deep blue eyes, With her upturned nose and delicate pale pink lips, everything about her fascinates boys.

"What did you say her name was? I'm sure she's a Veela!" Ron was stunned the moment he saw the girl. After she had left for a long time, he seemed to have found his voice. Asked Hermione who was sitting next to her.

"Don't be stupid, of course she isn't!" Hearing this, Hermione put down the milk pudding in her hand, and glanced coldly at the distraught Ron.

However, Ron didn't pay attention to her strange reaction at all at this time, just continued to stare at the girl and said some silly things that sounded ridiculous to Hermione.Listening to the rambling words of the red-haired boy beside her, a trace of sadness flashed through Hermione's eyes blocked by long eyelashes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and she looked at the girl whom Ron had been talking about all the time.

The smooth blond hair is like the finest silk, and the skin is as fair and delicate as Chinese porcelain. The clean and delicate facial features are integrated together, full of attractive charm.No matter how much she refused to admit it, Hermione couldn't deny that she was indeed someone who would fascinate all girls.

Do boys like girls like that?

With such doubts, Hermione turned her gaze and scanned the surrounding crowd.Next to them, Neville was talking to an excited Ginny, he wasn't like Ron... the twins were still joking around in the crowd, and they weren't like Ron...

Is it because there is already someone in my heart, so I am not moved by her charm?

Ron's slightly astringent voice, which was in the period of voice change, was still heard in his ears. He raised the goblet containing red wine for the first time tonight, and Hermione gently sipped the light red liquid in the glass.

At first, there was a hint of sweetness from the tip of the tongue, then a slight sourness, and when it was time to swallow it, I finally tasted a little bit of bitterness in the mellow aroma - the taste of red wine really resembled her mood at the moment.

"Harry?"

Draco finally noticed Harry's absent-mindedness, but he still didn't know why when he followed Harry's line of sight.There, only Hagrid was holding a whole piece of steak restrainedly, trying to cut him into pieces with a table knife that was too small for him - although the size of the steak was just right for him.

"Why do you keep looking at Hagrid?"

Hearing Draco's question, Harry looked away, took a piece of baked potato and put it in his mouth, he shook his head and whispered, "I'm looking at the two chairs next to Hagrid."

"What's wrong with the chair?" Draco's voice was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why two empty chairs would make Harry so groggy, unless...

"I don't know whose."

Looking at Harry in surprise, this answer made Draco put down the tableware in his hands.No wonder Harry acted so strangely. First, the age limit had changed, and now there were two more people who didn't know who they were. The current situation was no longer what they expected.

Reality is often so frustrating.

When all the dishes on the dining table were suddenly cleared, the two chairs were still unobtrusively placed next to Hagrid, but the highlight of the night came as scheduled.Dumbledore stood up, without him saying anything, there was an atmosphere of tension and joy in the politeness.

"The moment has come," he said slowly and clearly with a smile on the countless excited faces, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, and before we invite the Goblet of Fire, I have a few words Something to say. First..."

At this moment, the closed wooden door of the auditorium opened with a bang, and the piercing sound immediately attracted everyone's attention in the quiet auditorium.

"Oh——sorry!" A lazy and pleasant magnetic voice sounded faintly, and the visitors obviously saw what they were disturbing, but the young man among them seemed not to feel everyone's surprised gazes, and was at ease He waved at them, "We seem to be late, Professor Dumbledore."

"If you have already had dinner, the time is just right, Sirius." Dumbledore didn't seem to care that someone interrupted his speech at all, and kept smiling and said to all the puzzled students, "Students , let me first introduce some friends you should know."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Sirius smiled mischievously, walked straight to Hagrid's side and sat down, and winked at Lupine who was sitting not far away. Not surprisingly, he also got Snape gave Snape a cool look.And the people who appeared with Sirius saw his behavior, they could only hide their expressions in the big black cloak, and followed him to sit on the remaining empty chair.

Dumbledore smiled kindly, and started the previous topic again, "First of all, Mr. Barty Crouch, the Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department." There was sparse applause, obviously he was not very popular.This is mainly because Barty Crouch kept a serious face from the moment he entered the door, which made many students feel that this gentleman was too arrogant. Of course, more people could not understand why he appeared in such an attitude. this occasion.

"This one is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic." When this person was introduced, the applause was much louder than before, which made Harry attribute it to Bagman's always Smiling, handsome face, or maybe, because he was once an excellent Quidditch player.

"In the past few months, Mr. Barty Crouch and Mr. Ludo Bagman have been working tirelessly to prepare for the Triwizard Tournament. This time, they will join me, Mrs. Maxim and Kaka Professor Love served as the referee for the Triwizard Tournament."

"As for Sirius Black and Alastor Moody, they will make certain guarantees for everyone's safety this year." After speaking, Sirius raised his hand and raised his hand, looking at those who were looking at Their students grinned, causing several girls to exclaim ambiguously.And Moody also took off the hat he had been wearing on his head, revealing the dark gray hair and the magic eye that made many people turn pale instantly.

"Oh—how did he do that?" Ron stared into Moody's eyes in surprise, and unconsciously grabbed Hermione's hand, the force from the hand made Hermione's face twitch abruptly. There was a flash of surprise, she shook Ron's hand away anxiously, and roared unnaturally, "How do I know how he did it..."

"But look..."

"Shut up, it's rude of you to look at others like that!"

Unlike the noisy table at the Gryffindor table, the Slytherin house seemed much calmer. Everyone didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations due to the appearance of Sirius and Moody. Of course, except for Draco and Harry.The two looked at each other for a long time, and each saw the surprise in the other's eyes.

Dumbledore looked around the auditorium and saw the energetic and expectant eyes of the children. He raised his hand and pressed it down. The students seemed to understand the meaning of this gesture, and the auditorium immediately fell silent.

"Now, Mr. Filch, please bring up the Goblet of Fire."

I don't know how long he has been in the corner. As soon as Filch heard Dumbledore's words, he immediately took out an old wooden box inlaid with various gemstones, and carefully placed it on the table in front of Dumbledore.

"Mr. Barty Crouch and Mr. Ludo Bagman have checked the tasks that the warriors will face this year..." Dumbledore slowly narrated, "...and our three participating schools, will Each will produce a warrior to participate in the competition."

"The champion of the competition will be selected by an impartial and impartial arbitrator—the Goblet of Fire." As he spoke, Dumbledore tapped the edge of the wooden box with his wand, and the wooden box began to rotate, sending out There was a creaking sound, and the contents of the wooden box were displayed while rotating.

It was a huge, slightly rough wooden cup, if it weren't for the blue-white flame dancing in the cup and the hidden ancient patterns on the rim, it could really be called inconspicuous.But it is this cup that has been responsible for the selection of warriors for hundreds of years.

"Applicants need to write your name and school on the parchment, and remember to write neatly. Then throw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore scanned the eager faces below, especially Fred's. It stayed for a while—the boy seemed eager to borrow a pen.

"Anyone who is interested, please sign up within 24 hours, and we will announce the names of the warriors selected by the Goblet of Fire at the Halloween banquet tomorrow night, which it thinks best represents their school. The Goblet of Fire will be held until tomorrow night." Put it at the entrance of the hall, in order to prevent people who do not meet the age from being unable to resist the temptation, I will draw an age line around it, and students under the age of 14 cannot cross it."

"Of course, allow me to babble again as an old man. I want to remind everyone that the competition is not something you can participate in casually. Once selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she must continue the competition to the end. Because When you put your name into the cup, you will naturally make a magic contract with the cup. After the warrior is selected, it cannot be changed. Therefore, before you throw your name into the cup, you must consider whether you really want to put your heart and soul into it. Go and fight for it." After the long speech, Dumbledore looked in the direction of the Gryffindor table meaningfully, but he didn't know who he was looking at.

"Okay, I believe everyone is tired, especially the guests, please rest well, I wish you a good dream."

The banquet ended under Dumbledore's announcement, and the bustling crowd began to rush towards the foyer, and there was some chaos in the hall for a while.Ron hurriedly greeted Neville and Hermione, and walked towards Harry and the others, but frowned when he saw Harry and Drake standing alone.

"Where's Krum?" Ron started looking around, as if that would make Krum appear in front of him.

Shaking his head amusedly, Harry handed Ron a signed piece of paper that he had just asked for from Blaise. "Followed their principal and left."

Seeing the piece of parchment that Harry handed over, Ron's originally frowning brows suddenly flattened, and he took the signature ecstatically, and he began to giggle. "Enough buddy. Ah - Klum's autograph, George's going to be jealous of me..."

However, no one paid any attention to him, Neville also fell into a state of smirking after taking the same piece of paper, Hermione completely ignored him, and turned to look at Harry and Drake.

"You will participate."

Hearing this, Draco shrugged and said naturally, "Of course."

Nodding, Hermione's brown eyes flashed—if it was them, they might indeed become warriors.
