Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Unexpected Fourth Warrior

The Halloween dinner seems to be going on for a lot longer than usual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMaybe because it's been a banquet for two days in a row, Seong-cheol doesn't like the sumptuous dishes that are carefully prepared as much as he usually does.

To be honest, if he really wants to eat it now, it is better for him to prepare it himself.

The people in the auditorium kept looking around, and every face showed an anxious expression. Everyone fidgeted, and from time to time they stood up to see if Dumbledore had finished eating. Most of the students were eager to finish their plates and find out who had been chosen as the champions.

Finally, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the voice in the auditorium suddenly rose a lot. Immediately, Dumbledore stood up, and the Great Hall fell silent again. Karkaroff and Lady Maxim on either side of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else. Ludo Bagman smiled and winked at the students of the various schools, while Mr. Crouch looked so bored that he could say he was a little bored.

"Alright, the goblet will have to be decided," Dumbledore said, "I reckon it will take another minute." Listen, after the names of the Warriors are announced, I want them to go to the top of the auditorium, walk down the faculty desks, and into the next room—" he gestured to the door behind the faculty desks, "and where they will receive initial instruction. ”

He pulled out his wand and waved it heavily. Instantly, all but the jack-o-lanterns were extinguished, and the auditorium fell into a state of half-light and half-darkness. The Goblet of Fire now glowed brighter, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames that burst into sparks were glaring. Everyone watched and waited...... A few people kept looking at their watches......

Xingzhe was the least panicked of all, he already knew the result, Krum, a girl, and Cedric.

The flames in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out. Then, a tongue of fire burst into the air, and from it flew a piece of charred parchment—everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore took the piece of parchment and held it far away so he could read the words in the light of the flames. The flames reverted to blue and white.

"Durmstrang's warrior," he said in a clear and forceful tone, "is Victor Klum." ”

"Not surprising at all!" Ron shouted, too loud, and Xingzhe heard it on the Ravenclaw side, and applause and cheers swept through the auditorium. Victor Krum stood up from his Slytherin table and walked listlessly towards Dumbledore. He turned to the right, walked along the faculty desk, and entered the next room through the door.

"Great, Wickdor!" Karkaroff shouted loudly, and despite the loud applause in the auditorium, everyone could hear his voice, "I know you are destined to be a warrior!" ”

The applause and conversation gradually subsided. Now everyone's attention was once again focused on the goblet, and after a few seconds, the flame turned red again. A second piece of parchment burst out of the cup, propelled by flames.

"The warriors of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "it's Fleur Delacour!" ”

Xingzhe noticed that the girl who didn't like him stood up gracefully, shook her silver hair, and walked out of the table on his side.

"Holy! She? Xingzhe was very unhappy, how could it be her, but he was relieved, it was her who was her, and it was her own business!

Xingzhe casually turned his head, and then froze.

At the Ravenclaw table, two unchosen girls burst into tears, buried their heads in the crooks of their arms, and wept bitterly.

Xingzhe complained in his heart, and then looked at the Goblet of Fire.

When Fleur Delacour entered the next room, the auditorium fell silent again, this time with a thrill that could be tasted. Now it's the turn of the Hogwarts Warriors......

At that moment, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, the sparks exploded, and the tongue of fire soared high into the air, and Dumbledore pulled a third piece of parchment from the tip of the tongue.

"The warriors of Hogwarts," he exclaimed, "it's Cedric Diggory!" ”

The cheers on the Hufflepuff table were deafening. Every Hufflepuff student was jumping up and down, screaming and stomping, when Cedric walked past them, smiling brightly, toward the room behind the staff's desk. Indeed, the applause for Cedric lasted for a long time, and it was a long time before Dumbledore quieted everyone and listened to him.

"Great!" When the noise finally subsided, Dumbledore said happily, "Alright, now all three of our warriors have been chosen. I know I can count on all of you, including Beauxbatons and the rest of Durmstrang, to support your Warriors with all your might. By cheering on the Warriors, you will also contribute a lot to this event—"

But Dumbledore stopped talking, and everyone could see what had caught his attention.

The flame in the goblet turned red again. The sparks crackled and burst out. A long tongue of fire suddenly burst into the air, and a piece of parchment was held out of it.

Xingzhe suddenly saw that Moody seemed to look at him inadvertently, Xingzhe suddenly felt something, and his psychology fluctuated.

As if he had anticipated something, Dumbledore reached out with a slender hand and grabbed the parchment. He held it up far away, glaring at the name written on it. There was a long silence, Dumbledore glared at the note in his hand, and everyone in the Great Hall stared at Dumbledore. Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud—

"Owen Paul."

Xingzhe's face changed greatly, and Luna and Penelo beside him also looked at him in great surprise.

Not only them, but his roommates, and Harry of Gryffindor, were like that.

When he realized that everyone in the auditorium had turned their heads to look at him. He just reacted, no wonder Moody would look at him, no wonder!

It turned out that it was premeditated!

He could feel the atmosphere in the air very strange.

There was no applause. A buzzing sound began to fill the auditorium, as if countless angry bees were chirping. Some students also stood up, in order to see Xingzhe more clearly, under the gaze of so many eyes, even if Xingzhe was indifferent, it was impossible for Xingzhe to be without fluctuations in his heart.

Professor Flitwick stood up from the guest of honor and walked briskly past Ludo Bagman and Karkaroff, whispering eagerly in Professor Dumbledore's ear, Dumbledore listening, his face unchanged.

Xingzhe suddenly felt that this was not planned by Dumbledore and Moody, although there was no Harry, but he was lured in.

Why? Why is that? He was puzzled

"I didn't put my name in it." Xingzhe said frankly.

Ravenclaw all looked blank, staring at him blankly.

At the guest of honor, Professor Dumbledore straightened up.

"Owen Paul!" Once again, he shouted, "Owen! Please come up here! ”
