Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

"Sorry, Ms. Maxim."

Barty Crouch, who was standing aside, suddenly said.

Crouch's figure stood outside the aperture of the fire, half of his face hidden in the shadows, and a pair of slightly old eyes stared at the angry Maxim.

"We must abide by the charter, which clearly stipulates that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the Contest!"

As he said this, his eyes were also somewhat complexly focused on the group of wizards in front of him.

Although there were indeed a lot of contestants this time.…

"no——"

"Mr. Karkaroff, you should know……"

Karkaroff was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ludo Bagman on the side. He said in a slightly helpless voice,"The Goblet of Fire has just been extinguished. If you want to make it burn again, this Have to wait until the next tournament"

"Durmstrang will definitely not participate in the next competition!"

Karkaroff shouted angrily

"What Moody said just now is correct. As long as the Goblet of Fire is extinguished, it means that the magic contract has taken effect, right?"

"And I believe you don’t want to break the contract, right?"

Crouch reminded, standing in the shadows.

"Haha, Karkaroff, speaking of which, the last time we met was in the Wizengamot court."

Moody walked up to Karkaroff with his prosthetic leg, stared at him with his weird magic eye for a while, and then sneered.

Karkaroff looked gloomy. He took a step back and clenched his hands tightly into fists, as if they were trembling.

He was afraid of the Mad-Eye in front of him.

Because he used to be a Death Eater and often dealt with the madman in front of him, so he naturally knew Moody's character. and means

"Okay everyone, please be quiet."

Dumbledore pressed down gently with both hands, and then focused his gaze on the trembling Karkaroff, his calm eyes half-closed.

"Although there is indeed a problem with the Goblet of Fire, now in terms of numbers, our three schools are fair - they all have seven warriors."

As the words fell, Maxim and Karkaroff looked at each other.

In theory, this is indeed the case.

"Now that everyone has signed the contract, the number of people in this Goblet of Fire will be tentatively decided to be twenty-one. In addition, we will investigate who caused the trouble."

Looking at the silence of the two principals in front of him, Dumbledore continued.

His slightly calm voice was very clear in the silent room, and all the wizards present heard what he said.

"In other words, we changed from the Triwizard Tournament to the Twenty-One Wizard Tournament?"

Fu Rong opened her mouth slightly and muttered in a daze.

"But Dumbledore——"

"My dear Ms. Maxim, if you have another solution now, I am all ears."

Dumbledore bent down slightly. He was waiting for Ms. Maxim to express her opinion.

However, Ms. Maxim did not speak. She just stared angrily with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Mr. Karkaroff, do you have any comments?"

Seeing that Maxim didn't speak, Dumbledore turned his attention to Karkaroff who was standing in the corner.

Ever since Moody came in, Karkaroff didn't know when he was standing in the corner.

"——I do not have either."

Karkaroff raised his head and glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice with a somewhat unbearable expression. What can he say?

Just leave here and give up the Triwizard Tournament?

Are you kidding? You must know that they have signed a contract. If you leave like this, you will naturally be punished.

Forget it, twenty-one people, just twenty-one people.

Anyway, there are seven players from each school now, which is already even in terms of numbers.

In the corner of the room.

Lorne leaned on the wooden chair and watched the chaotic scene in front of him with interest.

As far as the current situation is concerned, no one would even think of such a thing to him.

After all, he is only a man under seventeen. He's just a young wizard.

And the discussion in the distance seems to have come to an end.

"Okay, let's get on with it now."

Dumbledore turned slightly sideways and looked at them with a pair of blue eyes.

"The next step is to provide guidance to our warriors. Barty, it’s up to you to do the talking."

As the words fell, before Mr. Crouch could recover from the shadows, the warriors in the room were stunned for a moment. There were no fools present, so they could naturally understand what Dumbledore said.

That is Said that this Triwizard Tournament officially started with twenty-one people.

For a time, all kinds of different emotions appeared on everyone's faces.

Some were excited, some were confused, and some were excited—— There is even gloominess.

For example, Krum, who was leaning against the fireplace, had a gloomy expression on his face after hearing the result.

He was very dissatisfied with the result - but there was nothing he could do, Karkaroff What ability does he have to change the fact that nothing can be changed?

"Okay, the first project is to test your courage, so I am not going to tell you what you are going to face - the courage to face the unknown is an important factor for wizards"

"The first project will be carried out on November 24th and will be completed in front of other students and the judging panel.……"

Crouch looked at the twenty-one warriors in front of him and read the relevant rules of the first competition in a slightly hoarse voice.

By the time Lorne walked out of the small, stuffy room, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

There were not many people in the originally lively auditorium at this time, but there were still a small number of people who immediately gathered around him excitedly after seeing him coming out.

Most are wearing Slytherin robes

"Sorry, I have something else to do - you can ask Malfoy at the back."

Lorne snapped his fingers casually, and a repulsive force instantly pushed away the little wizards surrounding him.

Just kidding, he is about to go to the Room of Requirement to find his Miss Hermione.

How can he have time to hang out with a group of people here? The little snake discussed some things that were available and not available. The room was filled with requests. As the door was opened softly, Lorne strolled in.

When he saw Miss Granger, who had officially changed into a bathrobe, she was sitting on the soft sofa reading a book..

Her brown curly hair looked very moist, and her whole body was filled with a kind of fragrance.

It looked like she had just taken a shower.

"Miss Hermione, post it!"

Lorne chuckled while his little girlfriend wasn't paying attention and hugged her smooth shoulders from behind.
