Chapter 209: The First

PS The network is down, and it's hard to catch up......

No matter how Hogwarts prepared to welcome the other two schools of witchcraft and wizardry for the Triwizard Tournament, finally, January came, and when Darren and the others went downstairs for breakfast, the Great Hall had been renovated, and there were huge silk banners on the walls, each embroidered with the coat of arms of one of Hogwarts' houses: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, Hufflepuff with a black badger on a yellow background, Slytherin with a silver python on a green background, and behind the teacher's desk, hung the largest banner with Hogwarts' coat of arms: the Lion, eagles, badgers, and snakes are connected together, surrounded by a large letter, for non-Hogwarts people, this is definitely the best display of the characteristics and composition of the house, of course, provided that the other party can do some homework in advance and can understand

Then there was a long wait, to be honest, Darren really didn't understand the school's arrangement, in this case, there were no students, even the professors were a little unbreathable, and what classes were they taking, it was a pure waste of time. [Full text reading.]

In the evening, despite the professor's order, the students all came to the open space in front of the castle, hoping to see Beauxbatons and Durmstrang as soon as possible, and Darren naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, set up the magic camera in advance, in order to avoid causing a commotion, Darren also deliberately borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak to cover him and the machine, Harry and a few of them stood around, and surrounded him in the middle.

"It's almost six o'clock," Ron said, looking at his watch and looking at the driveway leading to the front door, "how are you going to get there?"

"I don't think so. "Hermione.

"How did that come about, take a flying broomstick?" Harry guessed, looking up at the starry sky.

"I don't think so...... ...... from so far away."

"Portkey?" Ron guessed, "or maybe they can apparition in their place, and people under the age of seventeen are allowed to apparition?"

"How many more times am I going to have to do it to you if you don't apparitions in the Hogwarts grounds?" Hermione said impatiently.

Fred and George were also nearby, and the twins looked very excited, "It's finally going to begin, Triwizard Tournament!" This is George, now Darren can tell them apart, of course, not by his eyes, he can sense the difference in their magic a little.

"Yes, the title of Warrior, and a thousand Galleon bonuses!"

"Oh, are you still short of money now?" Darren said in a low voice, a little strange, "I've read the financial statements sent by Bill, that's just your earnings for two or three months," and that's not counting the shares allocated to Blake and Lupin, Darren just added a zero to the investment! That money alone turned the Weasley family's finances completely overturned.

"It's different," Fred looked at Darren, "that means we're capable, and Percy doesn't have that chance!" "Well, in fact, in the hearts of the twins, Percy still has a lot of weight.

"But Dumbledore is over, there is an age limit to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, how do you pass the selection?" Harry asked curiously.

"I asked Professor McGonagall how the Warriors were chosen, but she wouldn't tell me," George said resentfully, "she just told me to shut up and concentrate on my raccoon transformation." ”

For the question of the twins, Darren knows the answer, it is from Bagman, this guy owes him a lot of money, that is, with the current business status of the magic imaging equipment company, it is very difficult to pay it off at once, not to mention Bagman, who has been robbed by the goblins, and he can't pay the money, but Darren has signed a magic contract with him and can control him!

Of course, if there is no need, Darren does not plan to use the magic on the contract to forcibly order Bagman, but just use that contract to suppress the other party, anyway, this guy is also a fool, and thought that Darren just wanted to know some inside information about the Ministry of Magic, judging from the situation he described, it seems that the Ministry of Magic has treated Barty Crouch, the director of the International Department of Magical Cooperation, coldly, no one has seen him since the Quidditch World Cup, and all the affairs of the Triwizard Tournament have been handed over to Bagman to be in charge.

In this way, Darren is naturally clear about all the affairs of the Triwizard Tournament, including the method that Dumbledore intends to use to limit the age of the contestants, which naturally has to be ventilated with the Ministry of Magic in advance, otherwise how to negotiate with Beauxbatons and Durmstrand.

Not only that, but even Darren already knew about the championship project, after all, everything needed for the competition had to be prepared in advance, and it was impossible to make a temporary decision when the game was played, and Bagman joked at the time that if it weren't for the age limit, Darren would definitely win the game, after all, he had more than half a year more than other players to prepare, and if he couldn't win, it was really not over.

Of course, Darren can't tell anyone else about this, otherwise with the big mouths of a few of them, the Triwizard Tournament will definitely be yellow, and Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will have to flip it......

As Harry and the others discussed who would be the referee for the tournament, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with the other teachers, shouted

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' representatives have arrived!"

"Where?" asked the students eagerly, looking in different directions.

"There!" a sixth-grader shouted, pointing over the Forbidden Forest.

Following the student's prompt, Darren turned the camera in that direction, and from the lens, he saw a behemoth, flying across the dark blue sky and heading towards the castle.

He zoomed closer to the camera and saw that the big creature was a huge powder-blue carriage drawn by twelve winged silver-maned horses flying through the air, however, it wasn't until Darren saw the treetops of the Forbidden Forest from the camera that it was revealed, both the carriage and the pegasus horses were amazingly large, and each horse was about the size of an elephant in terms of proportions!

In addition to its size, the carriage was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it flew from the Forbidden Forest to the front of Hogwarts Castle, and with a loud noise, it landed on the ground, and at this time, the size of the horses was more visible at close range, and the hooves of the horses were as huge as the plates, and they shook their huge heads, and the big red eyes on their heads were spinning.

Darren pans his camera to the carriage and sees a wand made of two golden crosses on the door, each with the coat of arms of three stars, and then the door opens.
