Compared with Madame Maxim, Karkaroff's meeting with Dumbledore was much more concise, and after a few pleasantries, he called one of his students over, "It's nice to be here, it's good...... Wickdor, come over and warm up...... You don't mind, Dumbledore? Wickdor had a cold, "And this Wickdor is the Krum who made a big splash at the Quidditch World Cup." Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When people recognized him, they were shocked, and they couldn't imagine that Krum, who represented the Bulgarian Quidditch national team in the World Cup final, was still in school, and it was in Durmstrang, and all of a sudden, everyone who knew him went crazy.

Darren saw Lee. Jordan was tiptoeing up and down, trying to see Krum's back more clearly, and several sixth-graders were rummaging in their pockets like crazy as they walked, "Oh, I can't believe I don't have a quill!" ”

"You say, will he sign my hat with lipstick......"

And Ron had already put the matter of helping Darren block the students around him, and followed Durmstrang students into the foyer, "If possible, I want to get his signed photo," he said to Harry, who was also following him, "You didn't bring a quill, did you, Harry?" ”

"No, it's all in my bag upstairs......"

"I can't imagine that they would be like this!" Hermione said angrily, "He's just a Quidditch player." ”

"Yes, but some people just like this, let's go, let's go back too!" By this time, most of the students had already followed the Demstum delegation to the castle, and Darren had begun to pack up the magic camera and prepare to go back, as well as the welcome banquet, which was not common.

When Darren returned to the Great Hall with Hermione, Fred, and George, the Beauxbatons and Dumstum students were already seated at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables, respectively, and Ron was complaining, "You see, Malfoy is talking to him, and I bet Krum can see what he is at a glance...... I dare say that everywhere Krum goes, there are people who are flattering and flattering him...... Where do they sleep, you say? We can provide him with a bed in our dormitory...... I was willing to give up my bed to him to sleep on, and I slept on the marching bed. ”

"Oh," Darren said, finding an empty seat, "if you tell him that there is a magic player in the Gryffindor common room and that Quidditch matches are played, he'll be there." ”

Hearing Darren's words, Ron froze, "Damn, why didn't I think of this, if I leaned over at the time......"

"You don't even have the guts to talk to him, do you?" Hermione sat down and said to Ron, looking at Ron's face, she guessed right.

Once all the students had entered the auditorium and taken their seats at the tables in their respective houses, the faculty members entered, and they streamed over to the guest of honor, with Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff, and Lady Maxime at the back.

To Darren's surprise, the Beauxbatons students quickly stood up when they saw their headmaster appear, and they didn't sit down again until Lady Maxim sat down on Dumbledore's left hand side, and sure enough, the Beauxbatons students had more rules than Hogwarts, and the Hogwarts students couldn't help but laugh when they saw their actions.

After everyone else in the guest of honor had taken their seats, Dumbledore remained standing until the Great Hall fell silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and, especially, distinguished guests," said Dumbledore, smiling at the foreign students, "it is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts, and I hope and believe that you will be comfortable and pleasant here." ”

"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!" ”

As Dumbledore finished speaking, the table was piled high with food as usual, and a variety of sumptuous dishes were laid out in front of the students, some of whom Darren had never seen before at Hogwarts.

"What's that?" Ron asked, pointing to a large plate next to the large steak kidney pudding, which looked like a hodgepodge of seafood.

"French fish soup, it's a French dish," Hermione said, "I had it the summer vacation the year before." It tasted delicious!" Really......

Just as Darren and the others were feasting, suddenly, a voice said, "Please forgive me, do you still eat this plate of miscellaneous fish soup?" ”

A few people followed the voice and saw that it was a Beauxbatons girl who spoke, with waist-length silver hair like a waterfall, large blue eyes, and a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

Looking at this girl, Ron's face suddenly turned red, he stared at her blankly, opened his mouth to answer, but only made some strange small sounds, as if his throat was stuck.

"Alright, you can take it," Harry said, pushing the plate to the girl.

"Are you done eating?"

"Finished," Ron gasped, "finished, delicious." ”

The girl cautiously took the plate and walked to the Ravenclaw table, Ron still staring at the girl with wide eyes as if he had never seen a female classmate before, until Harry laughed and he suddenly came to his senses.

"She's a girl!" He said to Harry in a hoarse voice.

"Definitely not!" Hermione said scathingly, "I didn't see anyone staring at her like an idiot!" ”

However, this was not entirely true, because Darren saw that when the girl left the Gryffindor table, many of the boys turned their heads to look at her, and a few of them seemed to be unable to speak for a while, exactly like Ron, and to be honest, if Darren hadn't happened to see someone on the podium and didn't pay much attention, I'm afraid he would have been stunned for a while......

One of the people Darren knew, and in fact many of the people at this table knew him, Ludo. Bagman, as Director of the Department of Magical Sports, is responsible for the organization of the Triwizard Tournament.

The other, a broad-bodied, square-chin witch with short gray hair and a pair of monocles, had told Darren that she was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and that her name was Amelia. Burns, who was in charge of replacing Crouch, was now only one person in the Department of International Magical Cooperation, a newcomer to the Ministry, Percy ......

Percy was obviously not up to the job of a triwizard referee, so Fudge had Amelia act as the other referee, which was a fitting fit from a certain point of view, at least absolutely fair.
