The Secret History of Platinum

The news of Gellert Grindelwald's sudden appearance at Hogwarts spread through various channels that night, and it was an explosive news.When people looked at the morning papers with dark circles under their eyes because they were thinking about whether Grindelwald would bring about the reign of darkness again, they coincidentally found that the mainstream media in various European countries published the news of Grindelwald’s comeback at the same time. But at the same time, the German Ministry of Magic announced that Grindelwald was acquitted, and Grindelwald's semi-retired statement that he only wanted to do some academic research in the future.The so-called semi-retirement means that this is only Gellert's unilateral decision, but everyone knows that as long as Gellert is alive, his saints will not disappear, and they will charge for their king.

Don't mention the tremors caused by Gellert's comeback in European countries, just talk about the ongoing Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts.

The morning of Halloween kicked off with a farce in which the Weasley twins drank the aging potion to sign up, but they both grew white beards.

The behavior of the twins gave pause to many who also planned to do so.

"Is the age line set by these idiots Dumbledore so easy to be cheated?" Draco looked at the twins - Whitebeard - who were doing various antics at the Gryffindor table with disdain. Weasley.If it was really that easy, he wouldn't have to rack his brains and think hard last night.Although asking his grandfather or fathers might help, Draco subconsciously didn't want to go to the elders.

"If it's so easy to pass, I think I'll give it a try." Brace on the side said.His words were echoed by many at the Slytherin table.

Looking at these young Slytherins with regretful and yearning expressions, Abramovich, who did not speak, couldn't help but wonder what his expression would be if they found out that the Goblet of Fire had chosen a player under the age of 17.

This Triwizard Tournament was originally planned to be held by the three schools and the Ministry of Magic of the Three Kingdoms next year, but under the impetus of Gellert, Voldemort, and Lucius behind the scenes, it was moved to Harry Potter a year earlier. Held in third grade.Even if it is ahead of time, the hostile forces hidden in the dark will also take advantage of this game.When the ring Voldemort was retrieved back then, it was discovered that his soul had been split, and part of the remnant soul was still in the hands of the enemy.Abramovich believes that they will probably use this match to create a Voldemort.The premise of the smooth progress of the enemy's plan is that Harry Potter can compete as a player, so in order to ensure this premise, someone will inevitably let Harry be selected by the Goblet of Fire as the only competitor of the fourth school, because even Even Dumbledore's magic couldn't confuse the Goblet of Fire enough to think Harry Potter was the strongest student at Hogwarts.

So the trick is taken, and Salazar will fight side by side with Harry as a representative of Hogwarts.The magic power of one of the Big Four is enough to interfere with the Goblet of Fire, and now they have two of the Big Four.So before the competition started, Abramovich already knew the candidates for Hogwarts, and it was very interesting to see the expressions of those children.Sorry kids, this competition is no longer purely a competition between three schools, it will become a battlefield, so it is no longer suitable for cubs to participate.

Throughout the daytime of Halloween, people were discussing possible candidates in every corner, and some students of appropriate age went to vote under the envious eyes of the lower grades and surrounded by friends of the same level.

The Halloween dinner was still as rich as in previous years, but the students didn't pay attention to the food. They whispered to each other and looked at each other, and some simply stared at the Goblet of Fire without blinking, as if they wanted to glue their eyes to the flames. The same as on the cup.The portraits around the auditorium are also crowded with people, and the ghosts are also gathered together and floating above the auditorium.

Finally, when the patience of all the students was almost exhausted, Dumbledore stood up. "I think everyone can't wait."

He winked at the students in understanding, then waved his wand. Under his magic, most of the light sources in the auditorium were extinguished. In this dim state, the flame of the Goblet of Fire was extremely bright, emitting A sacred and solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly the color of the flame in the Goblet of Fire changed, and then a tongue of flame shot out of the flame and flew into the air, from which flew a piece of burnt parchment.

"Durmstrang's champion is - Victor Krum!"

Durmstrang's students were very happy, but they were very restrained. They didn't celebrate enthusiastically until they glanced at Gellert who was sitting upright, nodded slightly and hooked the corners of his mouth. It seems that Krum Very popular in Durmstrang.

Maybe Krum is a student that Karkaroff valued very much. He was a little carried away with joy, forgetting that there was a great god sitting beside him, and he shouted excitedly: "Great, Victor, I knew you would Be a warrior."

When Durmstrang's celebration was almost over, the Goblet of Fire flew out of the second parchment just like before.

This time it should be Beauxbaton's representative, "The warrior of Beauxbaton is—Fleur Delacour!"

A beautiful woman stood up in response, and beautiful women always get more applause, and there was a lot of applause in the auditorium.

Because the next announcement was the representative of the host Hogwarts, the applause ended quickly.The entire auditorium became silent, and everyone was looking forward to the birth of a Hogwarts warrior.

The third piece of parchment that flew out of the Goblet of Fire was opened by Dumbledore under everyone's expectant eyes. He scanned the name on the parchment, and his expression returned to normal after a pause. He read aloud the name on the parchment. "The champion of Hogwarts is - Draco Malfoy!"

Abu had long noticed the sudden change in Dumbledore's expression when he saw the name. He originally thought it was because it was strange how Salazar, a little wizard under the age of 17, passed his age line and was selected as a warrior. But the name he announced immediately surprised him and everyone who knew the original candidate.

How could it be Draco?Abu silently restored the fork that was accidentally broken when he heard Draco's name just now. He glanced at Salazar not far from him, and the other party shook his head calmly at him.

Snape, who also accidentally cut the plate open with a knife on the professor's seat because he heard Draco's name, also looked viciously at the long Slytherin table and at the old Slytherin ancestors, although outsiders watched It was the Potions Professor and Head of Slytherin who was dissatisfied with the celebration of Slytherin's lack of image.

Yes, Slytherin, who always had the aristocratic airs, dropped his aristocratic image and jumped up excitedly when he heard that the warrior representing Hogwarts came from their academy.

"You're amazing, Draco." Blaise patted him on the shoulder, "How did you do it?" He asked the question everyone wanted to know, how did Draco, who was only in the third grade Unbeknownst to the age line set by Dumbledore, the greatest Sorcerer's Stone of this century.

At this time, Draco, the protagonist of the incident and the focus of the audience, was at a loss. Although he really wanted to become a warrior, he racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to deceive Dumbledore's age line, so naturally he didn't sign up, but the Goblet of Fire How could there be his name in the movie, and why did he finally choose him to be the warrior representing Hogwarts?

Although he was full of doubts, his childhood training quickly brought him back to his senses. He reservedly accepted the congratulations from his classmates, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.Malfoy's reputation was good for Lucius' efforts, and Draco's handsome appearance also made it easy for him to get the support of those two academies.

At this moment, on the Gryffindor long table, the lion cubs were whispering to each other.Ron said loudly to Harry beside him, "This damn ferret must have bribed the officials of the Ministry of Magic. He must have been selected by Galleon."

Can Jin Gallon bribe the Goblet of Fire? Is the Goblet of Fire planning to plate a layer of gold on the outside of the cup?Harry was already powerless to correct Ron's hostility towards the Malfoy family, so he could only complain silently in his heart.

The portraits and ghosts are also discussing the candidates for Hogwarts at the moment.And in a corner where no one noticed, a blond man nodded in satisfaction after hearing Draco's name and left.

Just when everyone thought that the Goblet of Fire would not react after all the warriors from the three schools were selected, the flame lit up again, and another piece of parchment shot out from it.This move shocked everyone, and everyone stared at Dumbledore as he picked up the parchment.

"Harry Potter!" he read the name on the parchment.

The auditorium suddenly became quiet, but then it boiled like boiling water.

"It's not fair!" Karkaroff jumped up immediately, "Could it be that the host school can have two places?"

Madam Maxim's expression was not very good either, "There was no such practice before." She continued what Karkaroff said just now.

"However, since Mr. Potter's name was selected by the Goblet of Fire, it means that the Goblet of Fire recognized his qualifications. You must know that as long as the name is ejected from the Goblet of Fire, you must participate in the competition. This is stipulated by the magic contract. Even you guys can't stop it." Gellert on the side spoke slowly.Although he wondered how the original contestant Salazar became Draco, he still wanted to make sure that Harry could play as a contestant.

As soon as Gellert's words came out, Karkaroff immediately shut his mouth like a frightened mouse, Madam Maxime stopped talking, and naturally Harry's qualification to participate in the Triwizard Tournament as the No.4 player was confirmed. .

All the warriors will be summoned to a small room, and when Harry got up to leave, he heard Ron's sour words: "You're amazing, buddy."

Harry knew that Ron was jealous again, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with him for being able to cross the age line without telling himself.Harry shook his head, he didn't know what was going on, let alone explain anything to Ron.

The warriors gathered in a small room, they will get some initial instruction, and some information on the first match, while others return to their respective lounges, everyone will have plenty to talk about this evening, whether it is The underage Hogwarts warrior Draco Malfoy was also the savior who turned out as the fourth man.
