He grabbed the parchment, reached out and opened it, reading it through the flames that had turned back to blue and white.
"The player representing Durmstrang is, Witt. Karen. He declared it clearly and forcefully.
For a moment, the hall burst into thunderous applause. "Expected!" Ron shouted. Harry saw Witt Kren get up from the Slindrin table and slumped forward, turning right, down the staff desk, and disappearing into the hallway leading to the next room.
"Werther. Karen! Kakarov shouted, his voice louder than applause, everyone heard it. I knew it was yours. β
"Uh, is he the bastard son of this old man?" Chen Ping guessed maliciously.
Applause, the talk faded away. After a few more seconds of attention to the cup, it turned red again, and the flame pushed out a second piece of parchment.
"The contestant representing Beauxbatons is," Dan Bodeau announced, "Fluff Dimigaard!" β
"Ron, it's her!" Harry cried. The girl with the beautiful gold stood up gracefully. Flicking her forged head back, she strutted between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.
"Oh, look how disappointed they are," Hermione said, looking at the group of girls.
Floru-Dimigaard also disappeared into the aisle. There was silence in the hall again, but the difference was that this time the silence was so strong and stimulating that it could almost be felt. Next up is the player representing Hogwarts
The burning goblet turned red again, sparks flowed, and tongues of fire rolled high. Dumbledore pulled a third piece of parchment from the fire.
"Representing Hogwarts." He paused suddenly, as if he didn't believe his eyes, then he smiled and raised his head to declare loudly.
"Zhang-Liang!"
There was silence
"No, it's that nasty guy." Ron shouted, but his voice was overshadowed by Hermione's applause, and then there was applause at the Ravenclaw table, and then Slindlin. It was noted that Professor Snape was clapping, and finally, applause rang out on Hufflepuff's table.
Chen Ping's gaze swept over the two girls on the side and opposite, Luna applauded so much that her hands were red, but Zhang Qiu looked at him with a look of surprise.
"I mean what I say."
Chen Ping dropped a sentence and walked forward.
On stage, Dumbledore happily announced, "Now, we have selected three contestants. I am confident that all of you, including the students who stayed behind at Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, will support your fighters wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly. Cheer them on, your contribution will be very realβ"
He suddenly stopped talking, and everyone could see at a glance that something was distracting him.
The fire in the goblet turned red again. Sparks flew everywhere. Suddenly there was a long burst of fire, and on top of it was another piece of parchment.
It seemed that Dumbledore involuntarily reached out his long arm and grabbed the parchment, unfolding it to stare at the name on it, and there was a long pause as he glared at the paper in his hand while the others in the room stared at him. Finally he cleared the noise and read - "Harry Potter!" β
Harry froze, almost everyone looked at him, he was overwhelmed.
Everyone on the stage was whispering, and Professor McConaughey stood up and walked up.
Finally, Dumbledore exclaimed, "Harry Potter, come up, go to that room."
Chen Ping, who was about to walk to the door, also turned around and shouted:
"Come on, Harry, you did it, and a Gryffindor should have the courage to face a challenge."
"Go ahead." Hermione gave him a push, and Harry, who was in a state of horror and sleepwalking, stumbled forward.
When he walked into the room, he realized that he and Chen Ping were facing two people who were much taller than him.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Looking at the two people who came in, the golden girl Fulu said in surprise, no matter how you look at it, neither of them looks like seventeen-year-olds.
"We're just like the two of you, we're all players this time." Chen Ping smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that the cup thinks that I am not enough, and sent me another partner."
"It can't be, you're all so small," Witt-Clen also said in surprise.
"Small?" Chen Ping took out his wand and waved it.
"Growth" Engorgio "His stature suddenly increased in size, and he became as tall as Witt Cren," "Is this okay?" ββ¦β¦
At this time, there was a sound of busy and chaotic footsteps outside the door, and Mr. Bagmun hurriedly walked in, and asked in surprise when he saw Chen Ping, who had become one size larger.
"What's the matter with you?"
"A little magic, they seem to have some objections to my height." Chen Ping lifted his magic and regained his fourteen-year-old appearance.
Witt-Kren's face sank, and he looked at Bagmun.
"It must be a joke."
"I'm sorry, it's a bit unusual, but it's not a joke." Bagmun pulled Chen Ping and Harry Dao.
"I don't understand why the Goblet of Fire gives the names of four people, but the age limit is new this year, and in the past, anyone who was a student of the academy could sign up. So there is no problem with his qualifications. He pointed at Chen Pingdao.
"As for Harry, I don't know why the Goblet of Fire gave his name, but the magic of the Goblet of Fire involves an ancient contract that, once established, cannot be broken, so I'm sorry, he can't quit."
He turned to Harry and said, "I'm sorry, since the Goblet of Fire gave you your name, you had to attend. β
The door opened again, and a group of principals and teachers rushed in.
"It's not fair, why could there be two students at Hogwarts." Kakarov shouted: "I read through the rules. β
"yes, what does that mean, if that's the case, I'll bring the students from the other grades as well." Madame Maxim said.
"Madame Maxime, our opponents are these two children?" Fluff shouted.
"Hehe, it looks like we're being ignored." Looking at the anger looming in Harry's eyes, Chen Ping chuckled under his breath.
"Dumbledore, are you getting the age line wrong?" Kakarov insidiously authentic.
"There is nothing wrong with the age line, I know how Zhang Liang got through the age line, and I agree with his qualifications. What we need to figure out, though, is why the fourth name is there. Dumbledore said calmly.
"With one, there will inevitably be a second. How this child lived, the other one. Madame Maxim said.
"Do you know the wizard's contract? I signed this contract with Zhang Liang, so he was the only one who used that method. β
"You mean the secret pact magic that medieval wizards set up to keep each other safe?" Karkaroff said in surprise.
"It's good that you know, so there's no way Harry can get to my age line in the same way." Dumbledore turned to Harry and said:
"Harry, did you put in your name yourself or someone else for you?"
"I didn't." Harry said, after he finished speaking, he heard Chen Ping's sigh of disappointment.
"Then it's clear that someone put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore said.
"Wouldn't he lie?" Floy said.
"Do you think it's possible, we're wizards, little girl, and there are more than 1o kinds of drugs in Potions alone that can detect lies. (This is my corrected premise, and in this book, the 'active' lie can be detected with drugs.) Snape sneered.
"Maybe some kind person did it for him." McConaughey said.
"I'm sorry, can I say a word?" Chen Ping raised his hand in a garbled voice.
"Say it, Zhang Liang." Professor Flavi spoke up.
"I'd like to ask you what needs to be done to make the Goblet of Fire spit out Harry's name. Is he really kind enough to do this? Chen Ping said loudly.
The voice fell silent all at once, and everyone was thinking about it
"Well said, I think everyone understands." Dumbledore encouraged authenticity.
"I still don't understand that Hogwarts' approach is clearly to increase the chances of victory." Karkaroff shouted.
"It's simple, just change the number of houses to four, and make Harry's name the fourth. But to do that, I'm afraid it will take enough magic, more powerful than all four of us. Chen Ping said his opinion word by word.
"Okay, so what now?" Madame Maxim said.
"According to the rules, those who are selected by the Goblet of Fire must participate in the tournament, which is also limited by contract." Claus Road.
"Okay then, but I'll appeal to the International Wizarding Association." Karkaroff tract.
"yes, don't you think your fighters are as good as their two 14-year-olds? The rules of the competition are to participate separately, not hand in hand. Snape said coldly.
"Professor, I agree." Witt Clendow.
"I agree." Floy said.
"So it was decided, and we started announcing the first project." Bagmun touched his chin and said.
"The first mission is to test your guts," he told the four, "of course we won't tell you what this task is." In the face of the unknown, courage is important, very important for a wizard. This task will be carried out on November 24, and the task will be completed in front of all the judges and students. During the process, the contestants cannot ask for help from the teacher, nor can they accept any form of assistance from the teacher, and the contestants will carry out the first task with the help of a magic wand. They are only told about the second task after completing the first task. In view of the time-consuming and costly nature of the competition, players can be exempted from the final exam. β
"Alright, you can go out and receive everyone's cheers." We still have something to discuss, he said, after the announcement.
