Chapter 18: There are naturally four of the Triwizard Tournament
Ireland won, rightfully so.
Both the overwhelming score and the Golden Snitch held in Harry's hands were all proof of this unprecedented victory, and Harry's name was shouted by all the supporters of the Irish team, and countless snacks, water bottles, and even the wizard's hat next door were tossed high to vent people's happiness - if it weren't for the fact that things were not smashed into the arena, I am afraid that there would have been a huge commotion at this moment.
However, at this moment worth celebrating, Allen's brain unfolded surprisingly - it seems, twins, cold?
If he's not mistaken, the two should have pressed Krum to catch the Golden Snitch, and Harry's heroic performance has completely wiped out a large amount of money they have wagered - well, even if they win, they won't be able to touch the shadow of the Golden Galleon...
While Alan was still pondering this, three guests entered Sirius's box, one of them rubbing his ears and laughing maniacally, while the other two had strange expressions on their faces—three Weasleys.
"Oh - Harry won, he did, Krum was defeated by him, he spotted the Golden Snitch twice before Krum, and caught it under Krum's nose!" Ron said incoherently with excitement, and his dear brother helped him sober up for a little - and as his hands stretched out, his ears were lifted from both sides.
"We know that Harry won, but we can't be happier—" Fred's hand went up.
"Thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen sicos, three nats—all our possessions. George spun his hand in half a circle
"And a fake wand that costs five Galleons—" Fred twitched his right shoulder, "Still, despite the loss, we still have to congratulate Harry - although some of our huge plans have had to be postponed, we have to congratulate Harry." ”
"Didn't you say that if you choose to gamble, you have to have the courage to bear the consequences?" Ron retorted bitterly, but the twins had no intention of letting go.
"Oh, Ron, we just think your ears are a little dirty, don't think too much about it. The twins said.
However, Ron's situation soon improved, and as Harry's injuries were quickly healed, the huge trophy was carried up to the top box by two Ministry of Magic staff.
"Let's give us a round of applause and welcome the Bulgarian players to the stage!" shouted Ludo Bagman.
Sadly, the losers didn't get much credit – while there were still fans cheering them on, their voices weren't enough to silence the angry abusive Krum.
No way, Harry found out about the snitch first, and he played a wave of Krum before catching the snitch, so that the Bulgarian team had nothing to praise in this game, and some people even made extremely rude gestures, which made the Meiwa over there even more crazy.
Especially when Krum shook hands with Bulgaria's Minister of Magic, the moment his name was pronounced, the audience was booed almost - compared to his name, his performance in this game was too clumsy.
And when Harry and the rest of his temporary teammates lifted the trophy, the Irish supporters went crazy, and the hat badges were thrown even higher, and even two were thrown in the top box.
Alan took one with one hand, looked at the style of the standard Irish team supporter's hat, and looked at the twin brothers who still didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and handed over the hat in his hand - "Harry didn't mean it, of course there are wins and losses in gambling, just don't touch it in the future, put the hat on, and forgive Harry for not knowing." ”
Soon after, they returned to the camp, and Harry was sent back on his toll.
At this moment, Harry's expression was still a little unconfident, his fire bolts were even a little dragging on the ground, and his tone was not confident, but before he could say anything, the warm embrace from Sirius had already surrounded him, and after a long time, the crazy Sirius stopped his actions and pulled Harry to sit down with a relieved face.
Then it was Harry's show time - Sirius had asked him to repeat the game several times, and every time he listened to it, he had an expression as if his good brother was doing it, and Alan dared to pack the ticket, and Sirius would sometimes confuse Harry with his father.
Next, the door of the tent was carefully knocked open - it was to deliver dog food...
There is no need to explain who is coming, anyway, Alan feels that he doesn't need to prepare for his supper.
At the moment when the dog food was stuffed, an unusually strange sound suddenly interrupted the delivery of this wave of dog food from a distance.
"What's going on? What strange ritual did the group come up to celebrate?" Sirius muttered as he stood up and walked out of the tent, after which he suddenly seemed to be a different person, "Damn, take your wands out, there's an emergency outside!"
A room full of people began to listen to him and pulled out their wands, except for Hermione, who said, "No, it's a holiday, and we don't have the right to release magic!"
Annie directly pulled out Hermione's wand and held it into her hand: "Don't be stupid, this is a special case, besides, in such a chaotic situation, the Ministry of Magic can't find it at all!"
Alan smacked - he had forgotten about the stubble himself.
Originally, he wanted to go out directly and destroy people, but now in this case, he took the initiative to attack completely and was not optional - passive self-defense is easy to explain, and taking the initiative to solve this magic may not be able to end up in favor on the Ministry of Magic, you must know that because of Spotted's escape, the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the school is very tense, maybe the Ministry of Magic will be disgusted to death as soon as its brain draws its own accounts, is he still holding a wand to wash down the Ministry of Magic?
Considering this, Alan has no intention of going out to help - he is terrible that he will be bitten by a dog, and although the current scene is chaotic, after all, there is no direct killing, and the Ministry of Magic can handle it.
Therefore, he steadied directly in the middle of the tent, and continued to sit down peacefully with the intention of annihilating them if the other party did not open his eyes—under his influence, Annie, Sirius, Hermione, and Harry sat down one after another, and finally Zhang Qiu followed after a moment of thought.
But to Allen's surprise, the Ministry of Magic was able to quell all the riots in a very short period of time like never before, and although the main crowd of troublemakers left quickly, the entire camp was not hurt too much.
In fact, it wasn't until he returned to Sirius's house afterwards and after Sirius inquired into all aspects of it, that the events of that night were completely exposed.
Originally, the riot was extremely premeditated, but a big accident happened.
And this unexpected pot has to be thrown on Allen.
Well, that's right, thousands of miles away, a big black cauldron smashed down - although no one knows, but it does blame Allen.
The reason why the riot quickly subsided was very simple, the Minister of Magic was now a super-large coward, the kind of coercion that did not leave the tower before the sixth level.
So, at that time, the entire camp was filled not only with most of the Ministry of Magic, but also with two dozen Aurors who weren't supposed to be in the camp - Mr. Fudge had granted them a special vacation, and had prepared a special tent for them.
As a result, the other party's troublemaker just made a little spark, and it was directly extinguished and could not be extinguished anymore, just like when I was robbing a bank, I met the FBI queuing up to receive this month's salary.
Under normal circumstances, a minister accompanied by a bunch of Ministry of Magic officials would never be so cowardly—after all, the other party's Minister of Magic is still there, and it is not good to mobilize so many Aurors to have an international impact. But the sequelae of Sirius' prison break were too great, and after Spotted escaped, Fudge was suspicious all day long, and he didn't dare to show up without a dozen Aurors.
——
"Well, I have to admit that our idiot minister has the luck of a fool, and he is now being touted by the Daily Prophet as the savior of the Prophet!" Sirius shook off the newspaper, and Fudge's picture smiled at everyone under a flattering headline - judging by the clarity of the photo, it was clear that the Daily Prophet had taken the print paper up a notch.
"But I have to admit that he did save a lot of wizards' precious treasures this time - their camp was almost destroyed by that group of guys, didn't he?" Alan said nonchalantly, picking up a piece of bacon.
"Anyway, Alan, won't you stay longer?" Sirius pressed the plate against Fudge's face, biting off a smoked intestine.
What else are you staying, Hermione was gone yesterday, and she is not available!
Well, he actually has to go back to get ready for the next school year, although the report card of the whole O is very happy, but the books from school have not yet landed, if he continues to be on Sirius's side, it will become a complete rubber, he has no such plans.
Sirius nodded, and didn't hold on until after the meal to mysteriously stop Allen.
"Well, I would have liked to tell you later, but this kind of thing is obviously not something that can be said on an owl - let's put it this way, Alan, do you know about the Triwizard Tournament?"
。。。
Just disappear like this, as for being so mysterious?
It's not that Alan is bragging, if nothing else, he even knows the title of the game clearly.
But he still shook his head - according to his history of magic, it would be strange if he knew this lesson, don't look at his high final grades, it was like that with extra points...
"Well, I didn't expect you to know, I can't tell you the specifics, anyway, you can go back and look up the information and you'll soon find an introduction to it - anyway, what I'm going to tell you now is that Hogwarts is going to report a Triwizard Tournament today. ”
I knew this when I entered the school - but at the time I wasn't sure if it would work.
"This tournament is different, though—do you remember what we did last time?" Sirius looked around, his voice lowered.
"Of course I remember, what's wrong, what's the problem?" Alan is not weak at all - it has been broken into pieces and become a heritage, can the other party still say that he has released the water?
"Then you must remember the Castrobusche Academy of Magic, the academy in Brazil. Sirius's expression began to become solemn, and Alan looked confused.
What's the matter? Is Hogwarts going to stop holding a tournament and be ready to communicate with good friends from previous years?
You know, Hogwarts and Castrobusher have a long history of communication - Bill almost went there as an exchange student, and if it weren't for Harry's enrollment, it would have been someone's turn.
"No, there was a bit of a surprise - what happened last time was discovered, and after a large exchange of interests and intelligence, this year's Triwizard Tournament has one more school, and Castrobusche has joined in. ”
Uh-I know it's common sense that five of the Four Heavenly Kings are there, and it's the first time I've heard of the Triwizard Tournament having four schools - wait, it seems like Harry came in as a warrior from the fourth school, well, that's understandable.
Come here - one more person is also lively, although it is a bit unworthy of the name, but Alan is still very happy that people from other schools come over.
However, is this worth saying so carefully?
Alan raised an eyebrow in confusion, but Sirius' tone became more serious.
"Yes, it's not a big deal to add one more spot - but Alan, do you know how the Triwizard Tournament came about?"
Eh, the three colleges are just competing for the first place, what's the big deal, isn't it all this routine?
However, his expression was understood, and Sirius shook his head, "Of course it's more than that—actually, it's a competition for a magical prop that the winner's school can occupy for five years until the next tournament runs." ”
Such old-fashioned news? This routine is all too familiar.
"Actually, the Triwizard Tournament has been out of action for many years - because the British wizarding world was too strong at the time for the other two countries to dare to make this request, and then the British wizarding world suffered a huge loss, which made them move, but unfortunately they were finally stopped by Dumbledore's appearance. ”
"It hasn't been settled since it was unearthed more than seven hundred years ago, and it hasn't been settled until three centuries ago, but it's been kept in Hogwarts — I don't know what the headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang had in mind to allow the Brazilians to get involved. “
Sirius grumbled, "However, no one has cracked that thing for so many years, most of it is a bit of a boast, and those bastards are planning to continue this test to see if Dumbledore is old!"
Okay - there is still such a thing, but Alan is curious, what kind of treasure is it?
His eyes were quickly understood, and Sirius explained without any reservations.
"That's the legendary magical artifact from Merlin, the Goblet of Fire!"
