Chapter 27: The Hogwarts Representatives (Part II)
Bang, bang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The two figures flew out from where they had just stood, slamming into the wall behind them, and Fleur and Krum immediately withdrew their outstretched hands. After a bit of shaking, dust began to fall from the ceiling.
Everyone in the room used magic to put up a simple shield for themselves, at least to ensure that they were not covered in dust.
"Ahem. Karkaroff stood up from the wall, leaving a visible mark behind him. "Dumbledore, is this how Hogwarts welcomes guests?"
"Karkarov, you'd better figure out the situation before you speak. Professor Snape's deep voice interrupted Karkaroff's questioning. "Being able to knock out an adult wizard and a wizard with giant blood at the same time, with such strength, I think it's not a big problem to instantly solve you who are defenseless. ”
"Who is it?" Karkaroff held his wand, looking around, shouting at the same time. The rest of the crowd looked at him with a foolish look, and he didn't notice it.
With a grung, Moody appeared at the entrance of the hallway with his crutches.
"Is that you?Alastor Moody?" Karkaroff rushed at Moody with his wand in hand.
"If it's me, you can't stand up at all. Igor Karkarov. Moody glared at Karkaroff fiercely, his wand pointed at him as well.
"Who's that?" Karkaroff roared loudly, and Krum secretly pointed him in the right direction, but he didn't see it.
"Poof," Holly chuckled, which was very evident in the atmosphere created by Karkaroff.
"Little girl, you'd better watch over and over again, and I'll discuss your eligibility with you when I find the person who attacked me. ”
"Alright, Igor, that little girl has no problem qualifying, I can be sure of that. Madame Maxime, with Fleur's hand, came over from the wall. "I think others can be sure of that. ”
"Yes, little girl, I'm going to test you myself. Karkaroff raised his wand and walked towards Holly.
With her wand in her left hand, Holly looked playfully at Karkaroff as he approached, thinking about how to tease Durmstran's headmaster.
"Fainted. A red light focused on Karkaroff from behind him, and it was Dumbledore who made a move.
"I think," Dumbledore paused, "Professor Karkaroff needs to calm down and rest, or we won't be able to do anything tonight." Everyone nodded in agreement, including Krum, who also felt that his headmaster had just behaved like an idiot.
"Alright, Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire? Dumbledore's question drew attention back to Harry Potter, the protagonist of the story.
Poor savior, he was stunned when the Goblet of Fire spat out his name, and what had just happened in the room seemed so unreal to him that even if Dumbledore woke him up, he still didn't come to his senses. What has just happened seems to be true and yet seems to be false.
"Nope. Harry Potter responded.
"Did you ask an older student to put you in?" Dumbledore continued.
"Nope. Potter's reaction was a bit stronger this time.
"Well, he's lying. Madame Maxim questioned.
"There's no way he's going to cross the age line. "He doesn't have that strength, we can all see it." ”
Crouch wiped his hands and stood up and said, "We have to play by the rules." The rules are clearly written, and any student whose name comes out of the goblet must participate in the competition. ”
Bagmun also stepped forward to help: "Batty can be said to know the regulations well. ”
"I insisted that our students re-enroll, and the same was true for Karkaroff's side. Madame Maxim once again stood up for her dissenting opinions, and after Karkaroff was "rested", she was the only one who could represent the other two schools.
……
"We don't know how this will happen," Dumbledore said, "It seems to me that we have no choice but to accept the facts. Mr. Potter has to play in the game......"
"Dumbledore...... But ......"
"Dear Madame Maxim, if you have any good advice, I would like to hear it. ”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Bagmun rubbed his hands together and said, "Then we will begin." It's time to give the players instructions, right?
"Well, okay. The first task is to test your guts," Barty Crouch said, "of course, we won't tell you what it is. Courage in the face of the unknown is important for a wizard. Very important. ”
……
After receiving information about the first mission on November 24, several waves of people dispersed.
"Harry, Holly, it's time for you to go back to sleep. Dumbledore smiled, "I'm sure Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are still celebrating with you all around this time." ”
Back in the hall, everyone had left, and in the empty hall, only the candle in the pumpkin was still flickering, flickering and dimming.
Nodding schematically, Holly and Harry parted at the entrance of the hallway, each heading in different directions.
As he walked along the road, Harry Potter was still playing the image in his head over and over again. An adult wizard and a witch with giant blood were knocked away at the same time, and Moody's rambling words, "Maybe someone wants Harry to die because of this game...... Because he deceived a powerful thing to confuse the Goblet of Fire, it was it that it forgot that there were only three schools participating in the competition, and a very powerful spell was needed. I guess he put Potter in the fourth school to make sure he was the only one in his class. ”
By the time Harry Potter stumbled back to Gryffindor's common room, he still hadn't recovered from what had just happened. Even when he returned to the common room, he was greeted by a celebration from everyone in Gryffindor.
However, the same scene did not appear in the Ravenclaw common room, and when Holly returned to the Ravenclaw Tower, Holly was greeted not by the disorderly celebration of Gryffindor, but by the orderly congratulations of all the Ravenclaw students.
Seeing this, Holly raised her eyebrows and looked at Erinka, as if to ask if it was you who organized it?
Erica shrugged, saying that none of this had anything to do with her.
Seeing that everyone was gathered in the common room, he walked up the stairs directly, turned around, clapped his hands, and said to everyone.
