No matter how Hogwarts prepared to welcome the other two schools of witchcraft and wizardry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, finally, October 30th arrived, and when Darren and the others went downstairs for breakfast, they unsurprisingly found that the Great Hall had been renovated, with huge silk banners hanging on the walls, each embroidered with the coat of arms of one of Hoggates' 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 the coat of arms of Hogwarts: the Lion, eagle, badger, and snake are connected together, surrounded by a large letter H, which is definitely the best display of the characteristics and composition of the house for non-Hogwarts people, of course, provided that the other party can do some homework in advance and can understand the badge.

Then there was a long day of waiting, to be honest, Darren really didn't understand the arrangement of the school, not to mention the students, even the professors were a little unbreathable, what classes were there, it was a pure waste of time.

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 do you say they're going to come?

"I don't think so. Hermione said.

"How, then, on a broomstick?" Harry guessed, looking up at the starry sky.

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

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

"How many more times do I have to tell you that apparitions are not allowed 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 Galleons in prize!"

"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 upside down.

"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 said that there is an age limit for participating in the Triwizard Tournament, so how do you pass the selection?" asked Harry 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 giving my raccoon shape." ”

As 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 situation 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 goblin, 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 of 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 Department of International 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 project of the championship, after all, everything needed for the competition had to be prepared in advance, and it was impossible to make a temporary decision at the time of the competition, and Bagman also joked at that 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 to prepare for the competition than other players, and if he couldn't win, it was really unreasonable.

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 turn the sky upside down......

While Harry and the others were discussing who would be the referee in 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 speeding across the deep blue sky towards the castle.

He zoomed in to the camera and saw that the big guy was a huge powder-blue carriage, pulled 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 he realized that both the carriage and the pegasus were amazingly large, and each horse was about the size of an elephant in terms of proportions!

In addition to its size, the speed of 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 an earth-shattering 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 fiery 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.
