Chapter 263, five contestants

"Boom!"

A piece of paper floats in the pink flames, then returns to blue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Dumbledore grabbed the falling piece of paper and announced when he saw the name on it, "Durmstrang is Victor Krum!" ”

β€œyes!” Krum threw his fist excitedly, then walked out to the applause and cheers of the crowd, and after shaking hands with Dumbledore, Krum walked into the trophy room.

Then the flame of the Goblet of Fire turned pink again, and another piece of paper flew out.

"Beauxbatons' warrior is Fleur Delacour!"

The audience immediately resounded with a thunderous sound, and Fleur walked out with a confident smile on her face.

"Smack!"

"Good! Fleur, come on! ”

Seeing Bruce "hit two people in a row", Hermione immediately said, "Yes! That's right, two. ”

Bruce said confidently, "I'm absolutely right. ”

Harry quipped, "You have the ability to guess the fourth." ”

"There is an old Chinese saying, "A dead duck has a hard mouth", I think it suits you very well! Bruce said.

At this time, a third spot also appeared, and Dumbledore looked at the piece of paper and announced, "The champion of Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory!" ”

"Oh! Pretty! Bruce immediately hugged Cedric and smiled, "Awesome, man!" Go ahead! You're going to be the champion. ”

Cedric stood up excitedly and said, "Of course, be ready to cheer me on!" ”

When the third Warrior, Cedric, walked into the Championship Showroom, Dumbledore announced, "Great! We've chosen three Warriors, but only one will go down in history. And he will lift the championship trophy as a symbol of victory! ”

At that moment, Barty Crouch walked in with a blindfolded trophy.

"Yes, that's the Final Three Champions Cup!"

As Dumbledore uttered his last words, the cloth vanished, and a crystal clear trophy surrounded by twin dragons appeared in front of everyone.

The beauty of this trophy shocked everyone, and everyone stood up and cheered enthusiastically.

"It's beautiful!" Hermione clapped her hands and sighed.

Bruce nodded and said, "Although I said I wouldn't participate, I really wanted to hold the trophy with my own hands when I saw it." ”

"Three years from now, three years from now I must attend!" Ron said excitedly.

Harry nodded, and said excitedly, "That's right, even if it...... Well? What do you think of Snape's face? ”

Snape, who had been expressionless in front of the podium, suddenly became solemn and kept walking forward, and the four of them hurriedly followed their gaze, and then ...... Everyone was stunned.

The originally peaceful flame of the Goblet of Fire turned out to be "excited", just like when George and Fred "signed up", the flames rose and fell and appeared excited and irritable. The restaurant fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at the Goblet of Fire in surprise.

Dumbledore walked over with a solemn expression, the blue flame changing to pink, and the previous scene repeated, returning to normal again as a piece of paper flew out.

Dumbledore took the piece of paper and looked at it in a daze, and said in surprise, "Harry Potter?" ”

Harry was stunned, he didn't understand why his name was there. Bruce, too, and everyone in the restaurant looked at Harry.

"I ...... I didn't do anything! Harry hurriedly explained.

"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore suddenly shouted, anger in his voice.

Hermione panicked and hurriedly asked, "Harry, are you signing up without us?" ”

"I didn't!" Harry hurriedly explained, "I didn't do anything, really! ”

Zhang Qiu said in surprise: "Then how can your name be ......?"

Bruce said with a solemn expression, "Let's not talk about that, Harry! Go first. ”。

Harry walked out with a look of helplessness. Hagrid hurriedly approached Dumbledore and said, "Professor, there must be something wrong with this. ”

Dumbledore looked at Harry seriously and said, "I know, Hagrid. ”

Ron looked angry, and he automatically thought that Harry must have found a way to sign up without them.

"He's betraying us." Ron said excitedly.

"It can't be!" Hermione said angrily, "Harry isn't that kind of person at all! ”

Ron said excitedly, "Then how do you explain ......?"

"Alright, stop arguing." Bruce interrupted the argument between the two and said helplessly, "Look what Dumbledore says." ”

Harry walked up to Dumbledore in a daze, hoping that Dumbledore would give him an explanation. But Dumbledore just handed him the piece of paper with his name written on it in all seriousness.

"Look!" Ron said angrily, "Even Dumbledore has nothing to say. ”

Bruce reluctantly said, "Please, Ron." Did you only know Harry on the first day? Four players appeared at once, and even Dumbledore would ...... Well? What the? How so? ”

As he spoke, the flames of the Goblet of Fire "boiled" again.

"This ......"

Everyone stared at the Goblet of Fire in amazement, and no one knew why it was like this.

"Boom!"

As the pink flames erupted, another piece of paper flew out. Dumbledore hurriedly grabbed the piece of paper and looked at Bruce with a sword-like gaze.

Bruce immediately felt a substantial chill and said in dismay, "No...... No way! ”

Everyone was waiting for Dumbledore to say the name.

"Bruce Sterling!"

"What!"

Bruce managed to divert attention for Harry, and there was no doubt that he was the target of public attention at the moment. Hermione and Ron were also stunned, and now Ron would no longer think that Bruce had betrayed the "friendship", because if Bruce and Harry really decided to sign up at the same time, they would not hide it from them.

Bruce finally sensed Harry's mentality, he sat there in a daze, Hermione hurriedly pushed him before he reacted and walked over, Dumbledore handed him the piece of paper, and said coldly, "Go!" ”

Harry hurriedly explained, "Professor, I ......"

"Harry!" Bruce interrupted Harry and said, "Let's go." ”

At this point, any explanation is superfluous, because they have no idea how it happened.

Bruce and Harry walked forward under the scrutiny of the crowd, and the restaurant was filled with chatter.

"They cheat!"

"They weren't 17 at all!"

"They should be expelled!"

Listening to this accusation, the two of them were helpless in their hearts, this road is not long, but for the two of them, there is nothing worse in the world than this road.

"Dirty cheating, Hogwarts disgrace!"

Bruce stopped, and to be honest, he wanted to reprimand those people loudly, but now he was on the "loser" side, and he didn't know how to refute it.

At this time, Harry patted Bruce and smiled bitterly, "Let's go, Bruce!" ”

Bruce nodded and smiled wryly, "I think tomorrow we will be the target of everyone's crusade." ”

Harry said helplessly, "Don't wait until tomorrow, it's already now." ”

The selected contestants are in the championship showroom in the backyard. When Bruce and Harry walked in, Fleur, Cedric, and Krum, who were chatting, were all stunned when they saw them.

"Bruce? Harry? Cedric looked at them in surprise and said, "Man, how did you get in?" ”

Bruce smiled wryly: "It's hard to put into words! ”

"What's going on?" Fleur asked.

Harry reluctantly said, "Our names appear in the Goblet of Fire. ”

"What?!" The three of them looked at them in surprise, and Bruce smiled bitterly, "I know, I know you will definitely think that the two of us signed up for cheats and were chosen." ”

Cedric asked, surprised, "What's going on?" ”

Harry looked helpless and said, "yes, I want to know what's going on. ”

At this time, Krum looked at Bruce and said indifferently: "Since that's the case, isn't it better?" You're ready to play. ”

Bruce said helplessly, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Krum!" But I don't care about that right now, I'm worried about whether the school will expel us. ”

"No, it won't!" Fleur said in surprise.

Just then, there was a quarrel outside. Bruce smiled wryly, "Listen, it proves that my fears are right." ”

"Protest, I resolutely protest!" This is the voice of Durmstrang's principal, Igor Karkaroff.

"I've had enough, Albus! You treat everything as a conspiracy. Madame Maxim said angrily.

A group of people walked in, and Dumbledore said angrily, "Quiet, let me think." ”

When he saw Bruce and Harry, he walked briskly, like Lucius had said to himβ€”an old madman.

He stared at the two of them and asked, "Did you two put your names in the Goblet of Fire?" ”

Harry hurriedly said, "No, Professor! We don't. ”

"So you let the upperclassmen do it for you?" Dumbledore asked again.

Bruce hurriedly said: "Principal and professors, I know that this incident has surprised and puzzled you, and even angered, but we are also confused now. ”

"Nope! They are lying! Madame Maxim said angrily.

In fact, she wasn't the only one, everyone present was staring at them. Feeling the pressure of everyone's gaze, Bruce smiled bitterly: "OK! I think you should be calm, and if you don't believe it, you can find out the people who have been with us for the past few days to prove it, and I can guarantee that we have never been alone in these days. ”

Igor Karkarov shouted angrily: "Who will believe your nonsense! ”

Hearing this, Bruce became angry, stared at him and said coldly: "Mr. Igor, pay attention to your words. ”

"Oh! How's that, do you still want to duel me? I'm telling you, the Order of Merlin won't keep you this time! Karkaroff threatened.

Bruce laughed angrily and said, "Good! Then I'll beat you up first! ”

As he spoke, a flame ignited in Bruce's palm.

"Bruce!" Harry hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You're crazy. ”

"Enough!" Dumbledore looked at him seriously and said, "Bruce, if you don't want to be expelled, you can honestly explain it clearly." ”

Bruce took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "I'm so sorry, Professor Dumbledore! But I've said all of what I'm going to say just now, and if you don't believe me, then you'll have to ask Professor Snape for help in making the elixir. ”

At this time, Snape sneered, "I am naturally very willing, but it is against the law to use truth-spitting potions on students, and if anyone here is willing to take on this responsibility, I can prepare it now." (To be continued.) )
