Once everyone had arrived at the auditorium, the Beauxbatons students took their seats at the Ravenclaw table. They sat down as if curious about Hogwarts Castle, looking around the Great Hall with sullen expressions on their faces. Three of the students still had their heads wrapped tightly in scarves and turbans.

"It's not that cold. Hermione said dissatisfied, "Why don't they wear cloaks?"

"They probably came straight from the school, and as far as I know, Beauxbatons is in the south of France, and the temperature is much warmer there than here. I think the reason why they wrapped themselves so tightly was that they weren't used to the climate. Ryan explained.

"That's right, no wonder Durmstrang's students are dressed so thickly, and it must have been snowing in the north. Hermione looked inquisitive.

Ron was busy making room on the sidelines, he wanted Hermione to move. Ryan quickly stopped when he found out: "Don't be busy, we and Hufflepuff are full, and those guests should choose to sit at a table with fewer people like Ravenclaw or Slytherin." ”

Ron was initially unconvinced, but soon Durmstran's students chose to sit on the Slytherin side. When he saw Krum talking to the Slytherin students, Ron could only grumble sourly.

After all the students had entered the auditorium and taken their seats at the tables of their respective colleges, the faculty and staff all came in, and they walked to the guest of honor and sat down.

The last to sit down were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff, and Lady Maxim. It is worth mentioning that the students of Beauxbatons quickly stood up as soon as they saw their headmaster appear. Several of the Hogwarts students couldn't help but laugh at this inhibition - but Beauxbatons' delegates were not at all embarrassed, and they didn't sit down again until Lady Maxime sat down on Dumbledore's left-hand side. Dumbledore stood still, and the Great Hall fell silent.

"It seems that the French people are very strict with etiquette and very well organized. But this is very disciplined, and this is not French at all. Ryan saw this scene and complained silently.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and—especially—distinguished guests," Dumbledore began to speak, smiling as he looked at the foreign students, "and it is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here. ”

A Beauxbatons girl, still wrapped her head tightly in her scarf, let out a sneer that was undoubtedly sarcastic—well, Ryan decided to take back his previous words, and it would be extremely rude to make such a voice while a respected old man was speaking. He estimated that the French students stood up purely out of reflex, which can only be said that the principal of Beauxbatons is doing a good job now, and not the French have changed as he thought before.

"The tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet. Dumbledore said, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as if they were in your own home!"

It's finally time to eat!Ryan praised Professor Dumbledore from the bottom of his heart.

The plates in front of them were piled high with food as usual—many of them were obviously classic foreign dishes, and it was clear that the house-elves in the kitchen had done everything they could.

"What is this?" asked Hermione, pointing to a hodgepodge platter on the table.

"Ah, this is Smogol", Ryan said after glancing at the plate, thankfully he had seen this last time on his trip to Northern Europe. "It's a large platter of smoked herring, smoked salmon, liver puree, sausages, sliced meat, pickled cucumbers, salads, and cheeses. It's a great appetizer on the Swedish side. You can taste it. ”

"Not bad, indeed. Hermione said after picking up a piece of smoked herring with a fork and tasting it.

Something went wrong more than twenty minutes after the banquet was held, and a silver-haired Beauxbatons girl came to fetch the french fish soup, and Ron responded like an idiot.

"It's a shame, hasn't he ever seen a beautiful woman?" Hermione grumbled when she saw the scene. Just then, Ron's voice came from the other side: "There are no such characters at Hogwarts!"

After hearing this, Ryan greatly admired Ron's courage, after all, Ryan didn't dare to do such a thing as offending the girls in the school in one go. Anyway, all the girls who heard this looked at Ron with hostile eyes, even his sister Ginny. Harry moved slightly to the side at this time, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Hermione, whose face became a little unsightly, Ryan quickly pulled her and said, "There's no need to be angry with others, besides, Ron is just affected by magic, I felt a magical reaction similar to Meiwa during the holiday when that girl came over just now." By the way, I also experimented with a hidden magic by analyzing their magical imitations. ”

This is also what Ryan remembered after seeing this half-breed baby just now, and after breaking the baby's natural ability, Ryan also tried to transform this ability into magic, but unfortunately failed. Eventually, however, he worked backwards on a spell called Little Transparent: when the magic is unleashed on the body, the whole person loses most of its attractiveness. The biggest use of this magic is to make the people around you ignore you, the only drawback is that once you communicate with people, this magic effect will be automatically removed.

Ryan began to explain the new magic to Hermione. Sure enough, what attracted Hermione the most was all kinds of knowledge. The rest of the banquet was spent in the two of them eating and discussing.

After the last dessert, the plate is clean again. At this time, Dumbledore's voice suddenly rang out, covering the entire Great Hall.

"The moment has finally arrived, and the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I'd like to explain a few words before I bring the box in—"

After introducing the two Ministry of Magic officials who had just arrived, the room began to agitate. Because under Dumbledore's orders, Filch held a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand, and then carefully placed the box on the table in front of Dumbledore

"The specifics of this year's Warriors competition have been carefully vetted by Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman," Dumbledore said as Filch placed the box. "They also made a lot of necessary arrangements for each project. There are three programs, each at different times throughout the school year, and they will test the Warriors in many different ways......"

As Professor Dumbledore spoke, the Great Hall fell silent, and everyone seemed to stop breathing.

"—The one in charge of selecting the Warriors is an impartial selector, and it is the Goblet of Fire. While Ryan was trying to recall the details of the original project, Dumbledore's speech was over.

Dumbledore drew his wand after introducing the Goblet of Fire, tapping it three times on the lid of the box. The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, roughly cut wooden goblet filled with dancing blue-white flames.

It seems that the protagonist of this school year has appeared, and Ryan stared at the Goblet of Fire on the table and thought, I just don't know if Harry will become a warrior at the moment when the plot changes.
