Chapter 202: Triwizard Tournament

After announcing the cancellation of Quidditch and scaring the students, especially the Quidditch team members from the various houses, Dumbledore announced the Triwizard Tournament, "This is because a big event will start in October and will continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of time and energy from the teachers, but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it." www.biquge.info I am very pleased to announce that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year! ”

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a kind of friendship competition between three of the largest schools of magic and wizardry in Europe: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. Each school selects a champion, and then three warriors compete in three magical projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, with the three schools taking turns hosting until it is interrupted due to the high number of deaths. ”

"The death toll?"

"Over the centuries, people have tried to revive the tournament several times," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. However, we, the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic, believe that the time is ripe for another attempt. We've done a lot of work this summer to make sure every warrior doesn't put their lives in danger. ”

"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected contenders, and the selection ceremony will take place on Halloween, where an impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete for the Triwizard Cup, win honor for their school, and personally receive a prize of 1,000 Galleons."

"I want to participate!" Darren heard Fred say in a low voice on the other side of the table, with what Darren knew about him, this guy must have won the prize money of 1,000 Galleons, and it is estimated that he already felt that he would definitely win the game, because his face was so excited that he obviously didn't realize how much he was worth now, after all, the Weasleys had never been financially well-off, and before they came to Hogwarts, the Magic Imaging Equipment Company had not generated any revenue, at least on paper.

"I know you're all eager to win Triwizard trophies for Hogwarts," he said, "but the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agree that there is an age limit for this year's contenders. Only students who are at least seventeen years of age - that is to say, over seventeen years of age - are allowed to enroll, and we feel that this measure is necessary, because the program of the competition is still very difficult and dangerous, and no matter how much precautions we take, it is impossible for students below the sixth or seventh grade to deal with it. I myself will ensure that no student of sufficient age will deceive our impartial referees into becoming Hogwarts warriors. ”

"Therefore, if you are under the age of seventeen, I ask you not to waste your time in making your application."

…… Darren does not intend to make any comments on this.

"The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations will arrive in October and will spend most of the school year with us. I know that you will all be warm and friendly during our foreign dignitaries here, and that you will wholeheartedly support Hogwarts Warriors once they are chosen. Well, it's not early, and it's important that you walk into class tomorrow morning feeling refreshed and clear-headed. Go to bed! Come on! ”

With that, Dumbledore sat down, and the cafeteria clicked and ping-pong, and the students stood up one after another, rushed to the two open doors, and left the Great Hall, "They can't do this!" Instead of following the crowd to the door, George stood there glaring at Dumbledore angrily and said, "We'll be seventeen next April, why don't we give it a try?" ”

"They can't stop me from participating," Fred said stubbornly, glaring angrily at the guest of honor, "being a warrior allows you to do a lot of things that you don't normally let you do, and there's a prize of a thousand Galleons......"

"Yes," said Ron, with a dazed look on his face, "yes, a thousand Galleons......"

"Let's go," Hermione said, "If you don't leave, we'll be left with a few of us here," she said, she looked at Darren, who shrugged and said that she had no interest in the Triwizard Tournament, although the so-called champion title and prize money are very attractive to ordinary little wizards, but for Darren, it is too trivial, even Harry, who won the game, is not the loudest "Savior", "Voldemort Terminator", Who remembers that he won the first Warrior to resume the Triwizard Tournament after a century-long hiatus?

Fred and George began to walk towards the foyer, followed by the rest of the group, listening to the twins, discussing what Dumbledore would do to prevent the students under the age of seventeen from participating in the tournament.

"Who will be the impartial referee who judges who the Warriors are?"

"I don't know," said Fred, "but he's the one we're going to fool, and I think a drop or two of the age-booster will do, George......"

"But Dumbledore knows you're not old enough." Ron said.

"yes, but it's not up to him to decide who becomes a warrior, right?" Fred said cleverly, "It sounds to me that the referee picks the best from each school as long as he knows who wants to participate, and he doesn't care how old they are, Dumbledore is trying to prevent us from signing up." ”

"But Professor Dumbledore said they stopped the Triwizard Tournament because of the death toll!" Hermione said in a worried tone.

"yes," said Fred nonchalantly, "but that was years ago, right?" And what's the fun if there's no adventure? Hey, Ron, if we have a way of fooling Dumbledore, do you want to participate? ”

"What do you think?" Ron asked Harry, "It would be great to be able to attend, wouldn't it?" But I guess they probably want to be older...... I don't know if we've learned enough......"

Ron once again made Darren secretly amazed, this guy definitely has the potential to be a detective, and he can find the key point every time, this was the case when the three-headed dog was like this before, and it was the same when he was a basilisk, and now the Triwizard Tournament is still like this, he didn't focus on honors and bonuses, and finally saw the purpose of the game, Darren has to say that Ron is much better than Fred and George.
