When the golden plates were scrubbed fresh, Dumbledore stood up again. A mood of excitement and nervousness seemed to pervade the auditorium. The little wizards also felt excited and didn't know what the show was next. Many people leaned forward and stared at Dumbledore very intently.
"The moment has finally arrived," said Dumbledore, smiling at the downcast faces,"the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words first before bringing the box in.——"
"——I want to explain our program for this school year. But first, please allow me to introduce two guests, because there are still people who don’t know them. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic." There was sparse applause in the auditorium.
"This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic."
The applause for Bagman was much louder than for Mr. Crouch, perhaps because of his reputation as a batsman, or perhaps just because he was much more approachable in appearance. He waved cheerfully. Thank you. When Barty Crouch's name was introduced, Crouch neither smiled nor waved.
"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly over the past few months to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued."In addition, we have a special guest who has offered to invite these people. I am the guest, but I am honored that Mr. Barty Crouch and Mr. Ludo Bagman both agreed to let this young man participate in the work of the Triwizard Tournament as a guest. He is our famous Genius - Mr. Ting Ye."
Although Ye Ting has already proposed that he will not participate in the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore still made this suggestion because it is a constraint on Ye Ting to prevent a good competition from turning into a joke.
After all, Ye Ting's His strength has reached the point where he can compete with himself. For such a master to join the Triwizard Tournament, he will completely crush the game.
After he finished speaking, the eyes of the young wizards from the three academies all turned to each other. Everyone looked at Ye Ting.
The difference was that the little wizards from Hogwarts had admiration, pride and relief in their eyes, while the little wizards from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang had dissatisfaction in their eyes. , they didn’t know Ye Ting, so they all questioned why this boy could become a staff member of the Triwizard Tournament at such a young age.
In full view of everyone, Ye Ting stood up calmly and nodded to everyone.
Dumbledore mentioned this to him in private, and he agreed immediately.
Because, in this Triwizard Tournament, he had his own things to do.
He knew that Barty Jr. disguised as Moody... Crouch would secretly sign up for Harry Potter and play tricks on the competition trophy.
His purpose was to have Harry Potter be teleported to the cemetery after touching the trophy, and then use him to resurrect Voldemort.
Voldemort After resurrection, he will fight Harry Potter in the cemetery, and Ye Ting is preparing to achieve some of his own goals there. In this way, even if Dumbledore does not give him this position, he will find a way to secretly Sneaking into the finals.
So, when Dumbledore extended the invitation, he agreed without hesitation. He could carry out the plan openly and take care of Hermione during the game. Why not? Wait for
Ye Ting to sit down After that, Dumbledore continued to introduce
"The above three - Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, and Mr. Ye will join me, Professor Karkaroff, and Mrs. Maxim to form a judging panel to judge the efforts of the warriors."
As soon as they heard the word"warrior", the students seemed to be more attentive. Dumbledore also seemed to notice that they suddenly fell silent. He smiled slightly and said,"Mr. Filch, please bring up the box.""
No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium just now. At this moment, he was walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand. The box looked very old. Classmate They watched with fascination and discussed with interest
"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for this year's Warriors competition," said Dumbledore as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him."They have also Many necessary arrangements were made for each project. There are three projects in total, taking place at different times throughout the school year, that will test the warriors in many different ways... their magical talents - their courage, their reasoning skills - and, of course, their The ability to overcome danger."
Hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, and it seemed that everyone stopped breathing
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition," Dumbledore continued calmly,"each representing a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each event, and at the end of the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The one responsible for selecting the warriors is an impartial selector, the Goblet of Fire."
Having said this, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times. The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached in and took out a large, roughly carved box. wooden goblet. The cup itself was unremarkable at all, but it was filled with dancing blue-white flames.
Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the Great Hall could clearly see saw it
"Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," Dumbledore said."Those who are aspiring to become warriors can do so on the twenty-fourth Sign up within hours. Tomorrow night, Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of three classmates it believes best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the foyer, accessible to all students willing to run for office"
"To avoid temptation for underage students," said Dumbledore,"I will draw an age line around the goblet once it is placed in the hall. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this line"
"Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate in the election to note that this competition is not a child's play, and you must not participate rashly. Once a warrior is chosen by the Goblet of Fire, he must see the game through to the end. Whoever puts his or her 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. So please think twice before you put your name in the cup and make sure you really want to compete. Okay, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night to all."
