Chapter 25: The Representatives of Hogwarts (Part I)
It was getting dark, and the students were gradually gathering in the hall, not only because of the Halloween dinner, but also because of the results of the selection of the top three wizards tournament. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is true not only for Hogwarts students, but also for Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students. However, the two-day dinner party made everyone a little unaccustomed, and everyone who was worried about it was not so active in eating, and the Halloween dinner lasted longer than the previous night. Everyone craned their necks to look impatiently, fidgeting at Dumbledore, expecting him to hurry up and announce the final results.
When the plates in front of everyone were emptied, the hall was full of people, but as soon as Dumbledore stood up, all the sounds disappeared in an instant. Karkaroff and Lady Maxime stood beside Dumbledore, all with a nervous expression on their faces. Luther Bagmund winked at the students below, while Barty Crouch looked aloof and indifferent.
"Well, the Goblet of Fire is almost ready. Dumbledore came to the Goblet of Fire in front of the faculty chair from the foyer and said, "Almost a minute left." If you are waiting to be called by name, please come to the front and walk along the staff chair to the next room. You will receive the first instruction there. Dumbledore gestured to the door behind the faculty chair in the distance.
With that, Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it vigorously, and all the candles in the hall were extinguished except for the candle in the pumpkin. Only the dancing flames in the Goblet of Fire were still glowing brightly, and the blue-white flames were slightly glaring in the darkness.
After a few seconds, the flames suddenly turned red, crackling sparks burst out from the inside, and a tongue of fire burst out, and a piece of charred parchment appeared in the air, slowly falling.
Dumbledore reached for the parchment and held it high, so that the writing on it could only be read by the light of the Goblet of Fire.
"Durmstrang is represented by Victor Krum. Dumbledore said.
Applause and cheers swept through the auditorium in an instant. Krum stood up from Slyderin's long table and walked towards Dumbledore, and after a brief handshake, walked towards the door to the faculty chair.
"Fantastic, Victor. Karkaroff's voice resounded throughout the hall.
......Seeing Karkaroff's stinky fart, Holly couldn't help but let out a sigh, but she happened to hear two similar voices coming from the left and right sides at the same time, one side was Erinka, and the other side seemed to be that Fleur Delacul.
Everyone seemed to be a little curious about what happened at the same time, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at each other.
At this time, Dumbledore's voice came to my ears again, "Beauxbatons' representative is Fleur Delacour!"
Fleur stood up lightly, paused as she passed by Holly, and whispered, "Little sister, remember to cheer me on, see how I beat that guy." Without giving Holly time to respond, Fleur left the Ravenclaw table and headed for the waiting room.
After Fleur got up, the whole hall became noisy again, and there were several weeping voices at the Ravenclaw long table, and several Beauxbatons girls could no longer control their tears. A few of the older boys were ready to comfort them.
"Ravenclaw still has such a fool," Holly looked at the boys with a little unkindness.
When Fleur left the hall, the door closed again, and the hall fell silent again. It's time for Hogwarts representation. Almost every house student expects a representative of Hogwarts to be from their house, if not from their own house, at least not from a hostile house (Gryffindor and Slajelin thought). And those students who signed up for the exam had almost left the bench at this time, but their own reserve made them stand up directly.
The flames of the Goblet of Fire turn red again. Dumbledore received a third piece of parchment from the air. At this time, almost everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a slight sound.
"Hogwarts is represented by," Dumbledore took a deep breath, opened the parchment again, saw the name on it, and smiled, "Holly Parker!"
A loud cheer erupted from the Ravenclaw table, accompanied by a hissing sound from several other House students inhaling the cold air, but within seconds of Ravenclaw's cheers, the Slajelin students joined in. Leaving behind Hefpuff, who was still silent, and Gryffindor, who was clamoring for dissenting opinions. Of course, the loud cheers of Ravenclaw and Slajerin had completely drowned out Gryffindor's objections. Everyone could only see Digri Cedric sitting at the long table in disappointment, who was originally the most popular student representative at Hogwarts, but he didn't expect that the person who was finally elected to represent Hogwarts was not on the list of candidates at all.
Holly got up and hugged Erinka. Glancing at the Gryffindor table in the distance, he was slightly distracted.
"Alright, Holly. Erinka reminded when she saw that Holly still let go of her arm.
"Well, okay. By the way, I'll help me play the order of the academy later, and something very interesting will probably happen. Relieved, Holly hurriedly said a few words before leaving the Ravenclaw table, shaking hands with Dumbledore lightly, and walking towards the faculty chair. On the faculty seats, the expressions of each teacher are different. Professor McGonagall was startled at first, then remembered something, and smiled at Holly, which was already a more friendly expression she could have made for a serious McGonagall, Flitwick was clapping desperately, the representative of Hogwarts was from Ravenclaw, which was something to be proud of, Professor Sprout didn't react much, she was a relatively peaceful person herself, Snape continued to be expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, and as for Moody, he had a nice grin on his face, as for what others thought, it was someone else's business。
Holly walked all the way to the door along the faculty chair, nodding to Bagmund and Crouch in the middle.
Pushing open the door, Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum were already waiting inside.
"Little girl, why did you come in?" asked Fleur as she leaned in. "What about the Hogwarts representatives?"
