Opar: Can I say that your boyfriend power is quite explosive in a sense?

Harry, how hard are you going to work......

============================

Wand 8 (Reverse): Reckless judgment.

、

Hogwarts Hall

、

After the morning registration, everyone spent the whole day doing their own thing, and it was not until half past five in the evening that they all returned to the castle for the Halloween feast and, more importantly, for the announcement of the school's warriors.

"Hermione, can I not go?"

Harry, who didn't know why his instincts had been pulling the alarm, really didn't want to go to the hall.

"Didn't you announce the list tonight? Don't you think it's a pity not to go? ”

Holding the book and Harry out of the library, Hermione looked at him a little strangely, "I thought you would be very keen on this......"

"I don't know why, there's always a not-so-good feeling."

Harry could only smile wryly, "It's not like you don't know, Hermione, it seems that since my first year of school, every Halloween has had a problem. ”

The first year is a troll break-in, the second year is a petrification incident, and the third year is an invasion. Even he didn't expect to spend the fourth school year smoothly, it was simply a rhythm that didn't stop.

"You're not that decrepit, are you?"

Thinking about it carefully, Hermione is directly a black line in her head, "But it's a pity that tonight's list is not announced." Do you think Opal will be selected? ”

"Anyway, I think in terms of strength alone, Opal is definitely better than Cedric Diggory, even if he is selected, it is normal."

After a moment's hesitation, Harry decided to go to the hall with Hermione - a blessing or a curse anyway. Isn't it okay if he resigns himself to his fate?

Anyway, Ron seems to have noticed his estrangement during this time, and he doesn't dangle around him much anymore - I don't know if it's because the twins have been carrying him with him recently, but it really feels a little delicate.

As Harry and Hermione passed the hallway, they saw Durmstrang's representative group walking from the lake towards the castle. Viktor Krum and Karkaroff walked side by side, followed by other Durmstrang students.

And when they walked into the candle-lit auditorium, it was almost full. The Goblet of Fire has been relocated. It was standing in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff's desk. Fred and George sat in Gryffindor's seat with Ron on the left and right, and when they saw Harry coming, they waved to them as a greeting.

Harry took the moment to look over the Slytherin table and saw that Opal was seated, and that the fiancé he had seen was sitting next to her, not in the faculty chair. Then Harry silently looked away - no matter how many times he looked at it, he felt that as long as Opal and her fiancé were together, others felt that it was superfluous. After watching it for a long time, I will only feel that my eyes are pierced by the atmosphere between those two people......

The Halloween dinner seems to be going on for a lot longer than usual. Perhaps because of the two days in a row, Harry didn't seem to like the sumptuous dishes that were so well prepared as he usually did. 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.

Finally, the golden plate returned to its 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 Madame Maxime, who sat on either side of Dumbledore, looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else. Ludo Bagman was smiling and winking at the students of the various schools, while Mr. Crouch looked a little bored.

"Alright, the Goblet of Fire is about to decide."

Dumbledore said, "I reckon it'll 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 staff desks, and into the next room. ”

As he said this, he pointed to the door behind the faculty member's desk, "where they will receive initial instruction." ”

With that, he pulled out his wand and waved it heavily.

Immediately, all but the candles in the jack-o-lantern 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.

Then, suddenly, the flames in the goblet 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 Bravery."

"It's Victor Klum," he said in a clear and powerful tone. ”

At this time, applause and cheers swept through the auditorium.

Harry saw Victor Krum get up from the Slytherin table and walk listlessly towards Dumbledore. He turned to the right, walked along the faculty desk, and entered the next room through the door.

"Great, Victor!"

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."

Looking at the note in his hand, Dumbledore said, "It's Fleur Delacour!" ”

At the Ravenclaw table, the girl with the beautiful long bright silver hair stood up gracefully and walked lightly between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.

And when Fleur Delacour entered the next room, the Great Hall fell silent again, and this time there was a strong excitement that could be tasted in the silence - for it was the turn of the Hogwarts warriors......

At that moment, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, the sparks exploded, and the tongue of fire leapt 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 Opal Snape." ”

Following Dumbledore's words, Opal stood up from the Slytherin table, waved his hand at the students of his house, and then turned and walked towards the room designated by Dumbledore.

The Slytherin cheers were louder than in the other houses, and Harry noticed that many of the Gryffindor students looked unconvinced, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"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 the rest of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to support your heroes with all your might. You will also make a great contribution to this event by cheering for the brave soldiers......"

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

Because the flame in the Goblet of Fire 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.

Dumbledore seemed to subconsciously reach out and grab 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 said aloud, "Harry Potter." ”

“！”

Harry froze in his place at an ominous premonition, realizing that everyone in the auditorium had turned their heads to look at him. He wished he had heard it wrong—but he knew very well that it was just an extravagant hope.

Unlike the previous three times, there was no applause this time. A buzzing sound began to fill the auditorium, as if countless angry bees were chirping.

Some of the students stood up, trying to see Harry better, and Harry sat stiff in his seat, as if frozen.

Professor McGonagall stood up from the guest of honor and walked briskly past Ludo Bagman and Professor Karkaroff, whispering eagerly in Professor Dumbledore's ear, Dumbledore frowning slightly.

Harry turned his face, and he saw that the classmates at the long Gryffindor table behind them were all staring at him with their mouths wide open.

"I didn't put my name in it."

Knowing that there was little chance of recognition, Harry made a distinction for himself, "You know I don't. ”

At the guest of honor, Professor Dumbledore straightened up and nodded to Professor McGonagall.

"Harry Potter!"

He shouted again, "Harry! Please come up here! ”

"Go ahead."

Hermione, who was sitting next to Harry, whispered and nudged Harry.

Harry didn't know how he had managed to get to the front of all the tables, and when he arrived, Dumbledore didn't have a smile on his face, "Okay...... Go through that door, Harry. ”

Completely wooden, Harry obeyed the instructions through the door and out of the Great Hall, finding himself in a small room with portraits of wizards on the walls on either side.

In the fireplace across from him, the fire was blazing.

Victor Krum, Opal Snape, and Fleur Delacour gathered around the fire. Against the backdrop of the flames, the impression of those three figures was particularly strong.

Krum leaned against the mantelpiece, bent over something, slightly distancing himself from the other two. Opal leaned his hands around his chest against the wall as usual, his eyes closed as if he was thinking about something. And when Harry walked in, Fleur Delacour, who was watching the fire, turned her head and shook her long silver hair, which looked like a waterfall.

"What's wrong?"

She was visibly surprised by Harry's entry, "Do they want us to go back to the Great Hall?" ”

As Harry froze over there as he didn't know what to answer, there was a rush of footsteps, and Ludo Bagman walked into the room. He grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him forward.

"This is outrageous!"

He squeezed Harry's arm and whispered, "It's absolutely bizarre! Two ladies, and a gentleman. Allow me to introduce - as incredible as it may seem - this is the fourth Warrior of the Triwizard Tournament! ”

Victor straightened up and looked Harry up and down with a slightly gloomy expression. Fleur shook her long hair, smiled, and said, "Oh, that's a funny joke, Mr. Bagman. ”

Compared to Victor and Fleur's reactions, Opal opened his eyes and looked at Harry at this moment, and sighed: "Should I say that it is true?" ”

"What really?"

Obviously, because of Opal's words, whether it was Bagman, Victor, or Fleur, they all looked at him together.

"You're not Hogwarts students so I don't know, even though you're only in your fourth year, Harry's admission experience can be described as 'brilliant' - he's always got into quite a bit of trouble for a variety of reasons."

Opal spoke unhurriedly, "So to be honest, I was not surprised at all to see Harry here...... Or rather, it was an accident that Harry didn't show up. ”

"...... you say that?"

Victor frowned because of this, obviously because his previous conversation with Opal had a good impression on him, so he did not directly question Opal's words, "It is not credible without evidence." ”

"I think it's clearly wrong."

Fleur, on the other hand, raised her chin and spoke a little arrogantly, "No matter how experienced he is, he can't compete - after all, he's too young." ”

"yes...... It's surprising indeed. ”

Bagman rubbed his smooth chin, looking a little helpless, "But, as you know, the age limit as an extra security measure was only implemented this year, since his name squirted out of the goblet...... I mean, I don't think I'm allowed to escape now that I've gotten to this point...... The rules are very clear and you must follow them...... Harry is going to do his best......"

As Bagman spoke, the door behind them was pushed open again, and a large crowd swarmed in: Professor Dumbledore, followed by Mr. Crouch, Professor Karkaroff, Lady Maxim, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape. Before Professor McGonagall could open the door, Harry heard the buzzing of hundreds of students in the auditorium next door.

"Madame Maxim!"

Fleur said immediately, striding towards her principal, "They said this little boy was going to compete too!" ”

Madame Maxim straightened up her tall and burly frame. Her handsome head touched a chandelier full of candles, and her huge breasts in a black satin suit rose and fell violently, "What the hell does this mean, Dumbledore?" ”

"I want to know that too, Dumbledore."

Karkaroff also spoke slowly, with a chill in his expression, "There are two warriors at Hogwarts?" I don't remember being told that the host school could have two warriors - didn't I read those statutes carefully enough? ”

"It can't be."

Madame Maxime said, her large hand with many ornate opals resting on Fleur's shoulder, "It's grossly unfair that Hogwarts can't have two warriors. ”

"We have the impression that your age line will keep out underage competitors, Dumbledore."

The chill in his eyes deepened, Mr. Karkaroff said, "Otherwise, we would have brought more candidates from our school." ”

"I'm more skeptical that the boy used some means."

Bagman seems to be afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

"There are a lot of ways to avoid the age line."

At this time, Opal put down his hands and took two steps forward, seemingly unintentionally blocking Harry's front, "The confusion charm is strong enough to make the Goblet of Fire mistakenly think that the school participating in this competition is not three but four." Someone old enough to throw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire could easily have happened...... So I think it's more appropriate for you to ask questions about the Hogwarts candidates than to ask questions about the candidates here, right? ”

"Little girl, there's no place for you to talk here."

Mrs. Maxim was direct, and although Karkarov on the side did not speak, he seemed to agree with Mrs. Maxim's words.

"This is Hogwarts."

Squinting his blood-red eyes slightly, Opal, who was blocking Harry, was full of momentum at the moment, and confronted Karkaroff and Madame Maxim without giving an inch, "And the students of Hogwarts are not yet the turn of people outside to evaluate!" ”
