Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

"The moment has finally arrived. The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words before bringing in the box."

Dumbledore said with a smile as he looked at the little wizards below.

But at this moment, many people were looking around. What was the box that Dumbledore was talking about?

What does this have to do with the Triwizard Tournament?

But Dumbledore obviously had no intention of explaining now.

"I want to explain the program of our activities this school year, but first please allow me to introduce two guests, because some people still don't know them. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic, and this is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports and Physical Education Department of the Ministry of Magic."

As Dumbledore introduced, applause broke out in the hall, but the applause for Ludo was much more intense than that for Barty Crouch.

Not to mention that Ludo was already an old acquaintance at Hogwarts, and he also had the bonus of being a well-known Quidditch player.

The two of them reacted differently to the applause of the crowd. Ludo waved his hand with a smile on his face to express his gratitude.

And Barty Crouch, facing the group of young wizards below, still had a cold face and looked indifferent, which made him popular.

"In the Triwizard Tournament, they will form a jury with me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxime to judge the efforts of the warriors."

When the young wizards heard the word "warrior", they held their breath.

So far, everyone still doesn't know how this warrior will be selected.

Although the conversation between Ethan and the twins just now made several sixth and seventh grade Ravenclaw wizards give up the idea of ​​participating in the Triwizard Tournament, most of them are still interested in it.

Dumbledore naturally also noticed the little wizards' thoughts below, and he didn't keep them in suspense at this moment, and immediately said with a smile:

"Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

No one noticed where Filch was before, after all, he was really not very noticeable, but now everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He was seen holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in the corner, walking towards Dumbledore. Although the box was gorgeous, it could be seen that it was a bit old.

The students looked around one by one, and some even stood on the chairs, just to see it more clearly.

After Dumbledore took the box inlaid with jewels, he carefully placed it on the table.

"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for the warriors' competition this year, and they have made many necessary arrangements for each event."

"There are three events in total, which will be held at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many different aspects...test their magical talents, their courage and their reasoning ability."

"And of course, their ability to overcome danger."

As Dumbledore finished his last sentence, the entire hall fell silent.

Most of the young wizards had long known that the Triwizard Tournament was dangerous.

And some Ravenclaw students knew that to fight against XXXXX other magical creatures, they naturally had to have the ability to fight against danger.

"You already know that there will be three warriors participating in the competition, each representing a participating school."

"We will score them based on the quality of their completion of each competition project. After the three projects are over, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is a fair selector, which is the Goblet of Fire."

After saying that, Dumbledore drew out his wand and knocked three times on the jewel-encrusted box.

With a creaking sound, the lid of the box slowly opened.

Dumbledore reached in and took out a large, roughly carved wooden goblet.

The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was full of blue-white flames.

Then Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the hall could see it clearly.

A wooden cup burning with blue-white flames, no doubt it was another product of alchemy.

If possible, Ethan would like to study it.

And this flame was not ignited by Dumbledore. When it was in the box just now, there was flame inside before it was taken out.

But this flame did not burn the box, and it would not go out. It was another kind of flame that Ethan did not recognize. It was really interesting.

I just don’t know if this flame has any other characteristics.

"Every student who wants to run for the champion must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. Those who aspire to become a champion can sign up within 24 hours."

"Tomorrow night, which is Halloween night, the goblet will select the names of the three students who it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the hallway, and all students who are willing to participate in the election can touch it."

Dumbledore looked at the little wizards and slowly introduced the function of the goblet.

And the little wizards were breathing rapidly at this moment, as if it was not very difficult.

But can this cup really choose a champion?

Is there any way to hide this cup and make it choose itself 100%, is there such a prop in Hogsmeade Village?

Is it too late to let the owl buy it now?

Those under the age of seventeen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this cup did not have the ability to screen out wizards under the age of seventeen.

Dumbledore looked at the reactions of the young wizards below and guessed their thoughts. He immediately added:

"In order to prevent students who are not old enough from being tempted, after the goblet is placed in the hallway, I willDraw an age line around it, and anyone under the age of seventeen cannot cross this age line.

"Finally, I would like to remind every student who is going to participate in the election that this competition is not a joke, and you must not participate rashly.

"Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the competition to the end. Whoever casts his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind.

"Therefore, please think twice and make sure that you really want to participate in the competition before casting your name into the cup. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. I wish you all a good night. "

With the end of Dumbledore's words, the dinner was over.

After leaving the goblet, Dumbledore left with the faculty and staff, as well as Madame Maxime and others.

But when they left, both Madame Maxime and Karkaroff looked at Ethan deliberately.

After the other faculty and staff, as well as Ludo and others left, only three school principals were left at the corner of the corridor.

"Dumbledore, can you be sure that your age limit can definitely stop young wizards under the age of seventeen? "

Karkaroff asked impatiently.

Madame Maxime also looked at Dumbledore, and it was obvious that he also wanted to know this question.

When the Triwizard Tournament was still held normally in the past, it was also because of certain dangers that young wizards under the age of seventeen were prohibited from participating.

But the principals of European magic schools at that time did not care about this rule.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every few years. Everyone knows the dangers. Basically, no one dares to sign up when they are not strong enough.

That would not only embarrass oneself and the school, but also put oneself in danger.

But now, the Triwizard Tournament has not been held for two hundred years. The dangers are basically hearsay, and there is no accurate concept. Before actually seeing it, there is no self-confidence. There are many people who know this.

It is inevitable that these people will sign up for the Triwizard Tournament.

However, at this moment, Madame Maxime and Karkaroff are not worried about this, anyway, they are all adult wizards.

Under normal circumstances, while still in school, if the talents are similar, the older the age, the more advantages they naturally have.

They even hope that the students of Hogwarts will not follow the rules and have an underage wizard on the field.

But now that Hogwarts has Ethan Adrian, the situation is completely different.

In the past, they also heard this name from some channels. He is a genius of Hogwarts, a disciple of Nicolas Flamel, and has a high talent for alchemy. He is the one who created the wizard mailbox.

Originally, this is nothing. There are a few so-called geniuses in the wizarding world every year.

Don’t they have such students in their respective colleges?

But what happened in the Quidditch World Cup made them a little unbelievable, but they didn’t dare to doubt it.

After all, the Ministry of Magic came out to explain, which was considered as the official scapegoat.

In other cases, if the Ministry of Magic issued a statement, whether it was Karkaroff or Madame Maxime, they would just think that the Ministry of Magic was building momentum for their own country.

But that was a major accident in the Quidditch World Cup, and the Minister of Magic was almost beaten to death. In this case, what they must do is to take the credit on themselves to cover up the scandal.

But the Ministry of Magic did not do so, but admitted it openly, which means that they cannot take the credit, this is true. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

They even inquired about this matter, no matter which side of the argument can prove this point.

Killing hundreds of wizards and capturing dozens alive, this is no ordinary genius.

The only people who can compare with this are probably Dumbledore, Grindelwald and others.

No, even if they were still in school, they couldn't do this.

Competing with such people, their two colleges have a chicken chance of winning. Isn't this just watching Hogwarts show off?

The Triwizard Tournament, which was held again after a lapse of two hundred years, has attracted much attention. If they win, they can definitely say that they are the number one magic school in Europe.

This will greatly improve the reputation of the school, and there are some invisible benefits for the principal.

If nothing else, if the prestige rises, their position as principal will be more stable.

After all, these two people have something that cannot be revealed. One is a half-giant, the other is a former Death Eater, and he is also a spineless person who betrays his teammates.

So much so that these two people are very eager to bring the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament back to their own school.

To this end, the first thing to make sure is to exclude Ethan, which requires the use of the inconspicuous rule in the past.

"To be honest, I am not completely sure!"

Dumbledore looked at the principals of the other two schools in front of him and could only tell the truth.

Otherwise, if he was exposed, the scene would be even worse.

At the same time, although they did not name who they were guarding against, Dumbledore could guess it. []

Besides the guy who gave them a headache, who else could make them treat him so carefully?

"You can't suppress him?"

Madame Maxime widened her eyes and looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.

According to Ethan's performance that day, Madam Maxime asked herself that she couldn't do it, and her strength was probably not as strong as Ethan.

But Dumbledore shouldn't!

After so many years of fame, his record is also quite tough, and he is not the kind of strong man who brags.

No matter how strong and talented that kid is, his age is there, how could Dumbledore not be able to suppress him.

If it is said thatIf Dumbledore can't suppress it after the New Year, this can still be believed.

Now, this is probably not fooling me!

It's just to get that kid to participate.

"If I'm there to guard, there's no problem."

"But it's just a magic, it depends on whether he wants to participate."

Dumbledore also showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

Based on Ethan's performance, Dumbledore is still confident that he can suppress it now, and he has not lived in vain these years.

But it's just a magic, to be honest, it's more than enough to stop the little wizards, and even ordinary adult wizards can't do anything if they are restricted by themselves.

It's just facing a wizard of Snape's level, who can break his magic. After all, it's not that profound, and it's out of his control.

Not to mention Ethan, who is stronger than Snape.

Madame Maxime and Karkaroff were silent after hearing this. They certainly couldn't let Dumbledore guard the Goblet of Fire. This was simply throwing a headmaster's face on the ground.

And if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. If they let the two of them go to beat Ethan, they wouldn't dare to do it without confidence.

But if they let them break the age limit set by Dumbledore, there would be no problem.

Thinking from another perspective, it's really not Dumbledore's fault.

"Then there is no way?"

Karkaroff was still a little unwilling.

He came with great expectations, and his student Krum was also a genius. Not only was he talented in Quidditch, he was also a good hand at spells.

But this couldn't be compared with that monster who was stronger than himself.

"Dumbledore, can you go and discuss with him to dispel his idea of ​​participating in the Triwizard Tournament?"

Madame Maxime suggested.

Just now when she was at the staff table, she could see that many of the young wizards at Hogwarts wanted to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, and many of them looked under the age of seventeen.

Dumbledore just glanced at Madame Maxime and said nothing.

Do you think this is appropriate?

And since Ethan's first year at school, he has not been an obedient and peaceful student.

If you tell them yourself, they will most likely not listen, and it may even have the opposite effect. .
