Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it widely.
Immediately, except for the candles in the jack-o-lantern, all the other candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.
The Goblet of Fire was now emitting a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting with sparks were simply dazzling.
Everyone was watching and waiting... Several well-off Slytherins kept taking out their pocket watches to check the time...
The flame in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks splashed out.
Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it - everyone in the auditorium held their breath.
Dumbledore caught the parchment and held it far away. This way he could see the words clearly by the light of the flames. The flame then returned to blue-white color
"Durmstrang's champion," he said clearly and forcefully,"is Viktor Krum."
There was polite applause in the auditorium - if Krum had caught the Golden Snitch in the world, there would have been more applause.
This result was not surprising at all. Karkaroff clapped his hands hard, his face full of Dui laughed:"Well done Victor, I knew it was you!"
Victor Krum stood up from the Slytherin table and walked towards Dumbledore listlessly.
He has been like this since he learned that Levin became the organizer, not the player.
In the World Cup On the field, he lost to Levin in an almost humiliating way, and was quite unconvinced.
Ever since he heard that the Triwizard Tournament was about to be held, he had been holding his breath, wanting to defeat Levin and prove himself. Show it to Hermione and let her know that I, Victor Krum, am no worse than that scumbag.
However, Levin suddenly transformed and became one of the organizers, with a status equivalent to that of several principals.
In this case, So what if he wins the Triwizard Tournament?
Let Levin, as the organizer, give him the award?
That would be an even greater humiliation for him.
The unhappy Krum was under the guidance of a Gryffindor , he turned to the right, walked forward along the staff table, and entered the next room 303 through that door.
The auditorium quickly returned to silence, and everyone wanted to know who the next warrior would be. All eyes were focused on the Goblet of Fire.
After a few seconds, the flames turned red again. The second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup, driven by the flames.
"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore,"is Fleur Delacour!"
Fleur stood up gracefully amidst the vigorous slaps of the boys, shook her silver hair, and walked lightly between the tables of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
After passing by
When Fleur Delacour also entered the next room, the auditorium became quiet again.
This time, the silence was so full that you could taste it. Strong excitement. Next it is the turn of the Warriors of Hogwarts...
Levin did not participate in the competition, making this session suspenseful.
Everyone hopes that the Warriors can come from their own colleges.
Cedric Diggory's face With a warm smile, this upright and cheerful young man looks extremely calm, but only if you ignore his hands that hold the knife and fork backwards and show blue veins.
Angelina of Gryffindor rests her hands on the long table, her eyes Staring at the Goblet of Fire, he muttered something unknown.
Ravenclaw's Roger Davis stretched his neck and looked at the Goblet of Fire with expectation.
Not to mention Slytherin. , many senior students believed that they had to get the spot, and almost started a fight before the results came out.
The third piece of parchment flew out quickly.
"Hogwarts Warriors——"Dumbledore said loudly, with a look of surprise on his face. He turned his eyes to the Gryffindor table and said word by word.
"Hermione Granger!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Hermione stood up gracefully.
Harry and Ron were both shocked. They didn't expect that Hermione actually obtained the status of a warrior without telling them.
The noisy auditorium suddenly became silent. Silently, the little wizards present stared at Hermione with wonder, questioning, and admiration. (chec)
Although not as famous as Levin, Hermione has always been the academic leader second only to Levin.
"The title"Miss Know-It-All" was a contemptuous one at first, but as Hermione continued to prove herself, it gradually became an honorific title.
In addition, the young wizards of the Erudite Society unanimously supported Hermione and were convinced of Hermione's abilities. , we know best.
After truly joining the Polytechnic Society, the little wizards also saw another side of Levin's genius appearance.
For example, he often skipped a certain class because he was busy with work and experiments.
As the current leader of the Society , As the actual person in charge, Hermione not only has to be responsible for management work, but also has to wipe the butt of her unscrupulous boss and help him teach.
Over time, Hermione has gradually gained a lot of fame within the society.
For Hermione to be selected as a warrior, even if Even the senior wizards within the society recognized it.
However, compared to the young wizards at Hogwarts, the wizards from the other two schools reacted much more fiercely.
Fleur and Krum, who had not yet left the auditorium, also stopped. He stopped and turned around.
The former showed an expression as expected, while the latter was extremely surprised.
Krum had no idea that he wanted to prove himself in front of Hermione through the Triwizard Tournament.
Who would have thought that Hermione became his opponent.
This made him a little at a loss.
"etc.……"
Karkaroff slapped the table and stood up from his seat, looked at Hermione, and then glared at Dumbledore.
"Albus, if I remember correctly, according to regulations, the candidate for the Warrior should be an adult wizard over seventeen years old, not a fifteen-year-old kid!"
"Be patient, Karkaroff, you remembered correctly... As for why this is the case, you have to ask Miss Granger!"Dumbledore said with great interest.
In fact, it was beyond his expectation that Hermione would become a warrior, but when he thought about it, it made sense.
You know, this little witch was once included in his savior help His consideration has attracted his attention since the first grade.
He knows very well about Hermione's abilities and potential. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Hermione faced everyone's inquiries, There was no panic on her face.
On the contrary, the girl looked calm and had anticipated such a scene:"I wrote my name and school on the parchment as required, and threw the Goblet of Fire into the Goblet of Fire at the specified time. Apparently, the Goblet of Fire chose me to be the Champion of Hogwarts."
Hermione's answer seemed to say everything, but in fact it was just correct nonsense.
"Miss Granger, what we want to know is how you broke that age limit!"Karkaroff frowned and pressed forward step by step.
He even suspected that Dumbledore secretly opened the back door for Hermione so that she could compete.
The little wizards in the auditorium also stared at Hermione curiously, waiting. Her answer.
Hermione shook her head and said firmly:"No, you misunderstood. I can't break Professor Dumbledore's magic!"
There was an uproar on the court.
Not only Karkaroff, but also Madame Maxime stood up and questioned whether Hermione had obtained the warrior spot through cheating.
At the same time, many unsuccessful little wizards also made noises, demanding that Hermione be cancelled. Min's warrior status.
But Hermione was not swayed by these doubts. She calmly pointed to the Goblet of Fire on the high platform and said:"Who said you have to crack the age line before you can put your name in? Wouldn't it be enough to just ask a student who meets the conditions to take out the Goblet of Fire?"
"As per the Goblet of Fire rules, just write the name and school on a piece of parchment and place it in the Goblet of Fire, which I already did."
Hermione explained.
How else can this be done?
The little wizards who heard this explanation felt a little ridiculous.[]
They thought about it for a whole day and tried various methods but could not break through the age line.
However, Hermione used such a simple method to bypass this problem.
George and Fred even beat their chests and regretted that they had not thought of this method.
Although Karkaroff and Maxim found it difficult to accept this fact, they had to admit that Hermione's method could indeed circumvent restrictions.
They even suspected that this was a loophole left by Dumbledore specifically for Hermione to compete.
However, when they looked at Dumbledore, they found that the centenarian's face was also full of surprise, and it didn't look like he was pretending.
It took a while before Dumbledore came to his senses and admitted with a wry smile:"This is indeed an oversight on my part."……"
"Professor, my magic level is far inferior to yours, so I can only use some clever tricks!"Hermione replied sheepishly.
Here, she did not mention Levin and took the credit to herself.
This was agreed in advance.
After all, Levin is already the organizer and will be a judge in the future. It is necessary. To maintain fairness, you cannot let others know that you are partial to someone - at least on the surface.
The Triwizard Tournament does have a tradition of cheating, but this does not mean that it can be done unscrupulously. The prerequisite for cheating is that others cannot get caught. As long as If you didn't catch it, you didn't cheat.
But this time, Hermione's statement was accepted by everyone.
After all, even the most ordinary little wizard could think of such a tricky plan.
But Dumbledore still Praised the girl:
"This is nothing to be ashamed of, Miss Granger! For wizards, wisdom and strength are equally important. This time, you taught us all a lesson instead."
He paused and looked around to make sure that every little wizard was listening to him attentively:"Sometimes, the strength of power is not the key to victory or defeat. Miss Granger successfully bypassed the seemingly insurmountable age limit with her intelligence and unique problem-solving methods. This is one of the spirits that the Triwizard Tournament wants to emphasize."
Karkarov and Maxim looked at the exchanges between the two, and they always felt that they were singing along as if they were acting. They were very angry, but no matter how unhappy they were, they could only hold it in their hearts.
Because this method is very simple, Everyone may have thought that the little wizards in their academy failed to break through this loophole, and they can only blame themselves for not being smart enough.
What's more, choosing a warrior in the Goblet of Fire means signing a magical contract, which cannot be changed once it is confirmed. They knew the rule clearly, and no matter how much they refuted it, it was meaningless.
Bang bang...
Just when everyone was silent, a burst of applause came from the Ravenclaw table. Hermione turned her head and suddenly discovered The ones applauding were Zhang Qiu and Luna.
Although there were some conflicts between them because of Levin, they showed amazing unity at the critical moment.
Then, applause also broke out in Gryffindor and Slytherin. , it was Ginny and Astoria, they also plucked up the courage to support Hermione, and Harry also joined them.
Later, it was Padma and other backbones of the Erudite Society, as well as members of the Erudite Society, who also began to support He called himself the chairman.
Like a contagion, the applause in the auditorium became louder and louder, more and more people applauded, and finally everyone applauded.
Most of the young wizards put aside their prejudices, After recognizing Hermione's identity as a warrior, many people began to cheer and shout.
"That's great, Granger, I knew that age line wouldn't be a problem for you!"
"The warrior of Hogwarts, the hero of Gryffindor!"
After being noisy for a while, Dumbledore coughed a few times, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere, and he said loudly
"Okay, it’s not too late to celebrate later. Now that our three warriors have been selected, please come according to the previous arrangements.……"
Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, the Goblet of Fire next to him suddenly moved again. Long tongues of fire shot up half a meter high, and a piece of parchment with burnt corners slowly fell from the air.
As if subconsciously, Dumbledore stretched out a slender hand and grabbed the parchment.
He held it far away and stared at the name written on it. After a long silence, Dumbledore stared at the note in his hand. Everyone in the auditorium stared at Dumbledore.
Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud——
"harry potter"
