Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 165 Goblet of Fire

After coming back to his senses, Lu Yunkai refused to look back at Beauxbatons' table.

That evil feeling, like being under a spell, was enough to send chills down his spine and sweat all over his body once he experienced it. He didn't want to try it again.

This really had nothing to do with the dark-faced Daphne sitting next to him.

Otherwise, if you look at Pansy's dark face, wouldn't Malfoy still be staring there blankly?

Ahem.

In this way, a dinner with a weird and lively atmosphere came to an end unknowingly.

In the end, I discovered that one (actually, there should be two of them, to be precise. Although the little girl is not as fascinating as the older girl who is 90% likely to be her sister, she is still very eye-catching) with a weird None of the Slytherins among the charming girls had the courage to run over to the table over there to say hello and strike up a conversation.

"Okay, everyone must be full."

I don't know when, Dumbledore's loud voice sounded in the auditorium again, and the attention of the students who had already eaten and drank enough to enter the chatting mode was immediately caught.

Because everyone knows that the main show is about to begin.

"Well, everyone knows very well that next, the long-awaited Triwizard Tournament will officially begin." Dumbledore continued, "But before that, I would like to introduce two more guests to you. 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 Department of the Ministry of Magic.”

Dumbledore said, pointing to the two people sitting on the podium behind him.

Lu Yunkai and the others noticed the two people sitting on the podium at the beginning of the banquet.

He had met Ludo Bagman at the Quidditch World Cup final, and Malfoy had just greeted him from a distance, which was not surprising. Surprisingly...

Barty Crouch.

Lu Yunkai finally met this guy whom he had only heard of since last year but did not recognize his person.

His short beard was trimmed as meticulously as his standard Muggle hair parted. There was no expression on his face. Rather than being serious and rigid, it was as if the whole world owed him the Minister of Magic...

Lu Yunkai couldn't help but think of the madman he saw during the summer vacation. Who would have thought that such a person could give birth to such a son!

"So the blood theory is really unreliable!" Lu Yunkai muttered.

"What?"

Daphne, who followed everyone in the hall and applauded the two Ministry of Magic officials, didn't hear what Lu Yunkai said clearly and asked a question.

"Nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

On stage.

"...In the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have been busy preparing for the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore continued, "They will work with me and Karkaroff The professor and Mrs. Maxim will form a judging panel to judge the efforts of the warriors. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event. After the game, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup, and That title, eternal glory.”

"Warrior, eternal glory, tsk tsk." Lu Yunkai smiled when he heard this word.

So, this is a matter of courage?

Isn't that just for Gryffindor?

"Mr. Filch, please bring up the box." Dumbledore turned to Filch, who was standing in the corner of the auditorium at some point.

Filch, who was wearing his extremely unreasonable dress, was holding a ball about half his height like a puppet. It was unclear whether it was decorated with gems or plastic (Lu Yunkai actually knew that it couldn't be plastic). ), an old wooden box that looked at least a few hundred years old, came to the middle of the hall and was placed on a stone platform that suddenly appeared with Dumbledore's words.

"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have already reviewed the specific events of the competition. Of course, there are many necessary arrangements." Dumbledore continued while Filch was working. "There are three events in total, respectively. Taking place at different times throughout the year, they will test the warriors in many different ways, including magical talent, courage and reasoning skills, and of course, the ability to overcome danger."

Having said this, Filch had already placed the wooden box on the stage, bowed to the big guys on the stage with a smile on his face, and ran off.

"And the warriors who participate in the competition, representing their respective schools, will be selected by a fair selector, that is it, the Goblet of Fire!"

After saying that, Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped three times on the wooden box in front of him.

The ornately decorated old wooden box disintegrated in front of everyone, as if the mechanism was falling apart, and then disappeared. A wooden goblet with a simple shape (actually, it should be said to be rough) appeared in front of everyone.

But no one cared about the dog-gnawed wooden goblet itself. Almost all the students' eyes were attracted by the blue-white flames burning in the cup.

"Students who want to become warriors, just write your name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet." Dumbledore said, "Within twenty-four hours starting tonight, the flames will The cup is placed in the foyer, and tomorrow, Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will select the three students it thinks best represent the three schools."

At this point, Dumbledore paused.

"But in order to prevent students who are not old enough to take risks, I will draw an age line around it later. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this line. I must remind every student who wants to participate that this The competition is not a trivial matter. Once chosen by the Goblet of Fire, a contract is formed that must be followed to the end and he is not allowed to change his mind midway. "

Having said this, Dumbledore glanced around the long table in the lobby that was the most restless.

The smile on Lu Yunkai's face became more and more obvious.

That table belongs to Gryffindor.

With the end of Dumbledore's speech, the welcome dinner finally came to an end.

What happened next was not completely over.

As a hospitable Hogwarts person, naturally we cannot allow guest students from the two schools to live in carriages and boats. The house elves have prepared comfortable rest rooms for the guests, and in order for them to stay at Hogwarts this year (only then did Lu Yunkai know that these students who came with the principal will not leave Hogwarts this year) Watts) can make some friends here, and they thoughtfully arranged their dormitory next to the original college lounge.

The dormitories of Durmstrang students are just separated from the Slytherin lounge by a wall, while the Beauxbatons girls live closer to Ravenclaw...

Lu Yunkai believed that the boys in Slytherin would rather have this arrangement reversed.

Well, not including himself.

After being very "hospitable" and leading a few Durmstrang students who didn't look too fierce to find the entrance to their dormitory, Lu Yunkai also turned around and walked into the Slytherin lounge and rushed back to the dormitory.

Chrissy isn't here.

Lu Yunkai felt a little regretful.

He actually wanted Chris to help him keep an eye on those two pairs of sisters with weird charm abilities...

Ahem, of course it wasn't for any strange reason, but he was curious about why he was staring at that girl like a nympho in the auditorium just now, thinking about those strange things.

It seems that we can only talk about it later.

Of course, there is no need to worry, these Beauxbatons people will stay at Hogwarts for a year anyway.

But Lu Yunkai underestimated the telepathy between him and his magic pet.

When he woke up, the next morning, while Lu Yunkai was yawning and getting dressed, Chrissy, who was squatting on the bed, licking her paws and washing her face, brought him news.

"Meow! Ninety-nine percent of those sisters have Veela blood! Let me remind you, if you are not mentally prepared, it is best not to provoke them, otherwise you may bring bad luck."

Chris gave Lu Yunkai an answer that was not an answer.

As for what Veela is, Chrissy didn't tell Lu Yunkai. It seems that in the concept of that broken cat, this thing should be as common sense as "doesn't all wizards have your system".

But that doesn't matter. Anyway, today is Halloween, a small holiday in theory (no one actually mentioned it at all). There are no classes or Quidditch practice, so he can check it out slowly.

As if out of habit, Lu Yunkai tidied his clothes, wandered out of the lounge, and came to the auditorium, ready to have breakfast.

It wasn't until he passed by the entrance hall that was filled with benches that seemed to be specially designed for people to sit and watch the excitement, and saw the broken wooden cup placed on the stone platform in the center of the entrance hall, that he remembered that there seemed to be a selection of warriors for the Triwizard Tournament. This thing...

It really has nothing to do with you!

With a self-deprecating smile, Lu Yunkai finally aroused a little curiosity: the age line drawn by Dumbledore should be very interesting, and it shouldn't be surprising that there will be people watching the fun, right?

really.

After having some random breakfast in the auditorium, Lu Yunkai came to the foyer with half a piece of toast in his mouth and an apple in his hand. When he was still thinking about getting a good seat, he realized that he could only sit in the third seat. The circle stage is on...

At this moment, Lu Yunkai understood why Ron and Harry would rather sit in the stands on the top of the mountain to watch the Quidditch World Cup final.

If you are interested in something, you are really interested.

Holding a book introducing rare creatures, I searched for records about Veela in it. While chewing on the apple in my hand, I looked at the people who ran around throwing names into the cup from time to time, and then applauded them...

It is indeed a much better way to kill time than squatting in the dormitory making mirrors.

New Year is here. Happy New Year to all book friends.

If I don’t have anything to save, I won’t add any updates, hehe.
