Chapter 217: The Ancient Contract
While the three of them were chatting with each other, the wooden door was opened again, and the silver bell on the door rang, and Cachel, Fleur, and Victor Krum all looked at Harry, who was standing in the doorway, and Flirten frowned and looked at Harry. "What's the matter? Did the professor tell us to go back to the auditorium? Harry couldn't say a reason for a long time, "I don't know what to do."
Kachel looked at Harry and beckoned him to come over; "What's the matter, Harry, did the professor ask you to come over and inform us of something?" Carchel pretended not to know anything, and asked knowingly, maybe he saw the same Hogwarts student, although Carchel was a Slytherin and an enemy of Gryffindor, but it still made Harry feel better and relaxed, Harry opened his mouth and was about to say something, the wooden door was slammed open, and even the wooden door knocked on the wall and quickly bounced back.
Dumbledore rushed in first, followed by Professor McGonagall and Snape, then Lady Maxim and Karkaroff, and Barty Crouch, director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, "Dumbledore, what's going on, I need an explanation. Lady Maxime shouted behind Dumbledore, "Why do you have 2 representatives at Hogwarts?" Karkaroff was not to be outdone, Dumbledore didn't talk to them, but set his eyes on Harry, Dumbledore grabbed Harry, looked at him sharply; Harry, tell me, did you ask the senior to sign you up, or did you sign up yourself? "Harry seemed to be frightened by Dumbledore's appearance, and said with a panicked expression;" No, Professor, no! ”
Dumbledore turned his head to look at Karkaroff and Lady Maxime; "I'm sure my student wasn't lying, and besides, I'm confident in the magic I did, and as for Cachel, I don't need to say more, he signed up on his own." Madame Maxime listened to Dumbledore's words and shouted loudly; "But it's not fair to our other schools." Dumbledore said with a calm face; "Someone must have cast a strong confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire, making the Goblet of Fire think that there were four warriors participating, and that's why this happened, and as for the unfairness, I think you should ask Director Barty Crouch that the Goblet of Fire belongs to them." Dumbledore said and put on a look of something that didn't concern me, which made Carchel next to him a little embarrassed, look at the thick-skinned people, as the greatest white wizard of this century, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, he doesn't care about his own face, at least he has to be humble.
Barty Crouch saw Dumbledore kicking the ball to him, and while watching Karkaroff and Maxim look at him, he coughed a few times in embarrassment, "Those who are chosen by the Goblet of Fire must play" Before Barty Crouch could finish speaking, Karkaroff protested loudly; "No, then we'll quit Durmstrong, and we'll go back now." As he spoke, Karkaroff was about to reach out and pull Victor Krum, who seemed to feel that his headmaster was a little too embarrassed, and his body flashed slightly behind Kachel on the side.
"The people who are chosen by the Goblet of Fire, an ancient contract has been formed between them, if you don't participate, the consequences" Barty Crouch said that there was no more to say here, even Karkaroff, who was quite noisy just now, was silent, as long as it involves the words of the ancient contract, it is difficult to say clearly, especially the powerful magic item of the Goblet of Fire, it is even more difficult to explain clearly, a careless can invite death, even the powerful Dumbledore does not dare to be careless, the thousands of years of culture of wizards are not given in vain.
There used to be a powerful pure-blood family, at that time, the members of the pure-blood family were all over Europe, and the influence was even more polite to some African indigenous wizard tribes to their family, it was such a strong pure-blood family, their family patriarch accidentally formed an ancient contract from an occasional magic item, which could have been unlocked by completing the task according to the rules, but the patriarch of the pure-blood family relied on his own family's strength, and he was arrogant and did not put this contract in his heart, He thinks that the wisdom of the ancient wizards is not as strong as the current wizards, and the developed contract is not very powerful, as a result, within ten years, the entire huge pure-blood family has died, and the once powerful pure-blood family no longer exists, this is the power of the ancient contract.
"Our school will not participate in the next Triwizard Tournament." After Karkaroff finished speaking loudly, he walked out of the room angrily, everyone present knew that he was staying in disguise, and Madame Maxim didn't know what Lu Dao said now, she was also afraid of such things as ancient contracts, so she could only silently bear this fact, "Okay, I think you are going back to your respective academies now, your classmates are ready to celebrate for you, I think they should be in a hurry." Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Dumbledore clapped his hands, smiled at Carchel and said to them, and motioned for Carchel and Harry to go back to their bedrooms, and before leaving, Barty Crouch also announced that the first project would be held on November 24 of the following month, telling them to get ready.
When Carchel returned to the Slytherin common room, as soon as he entered the door, beer glasses greeted him one after another, and even took out his wand and set off small fireworks in the lounge, the little snakes shouted Carchel's name vigorously, and the senior directly lifted Carchel up and paraded around the Slytherin common room, Carchel glanced at it, and soon found Pansy in the crowd, and, to Carchel's surprise, Lian Qiu and Luna also came here, and they were looking at Carchel with a proud face, Listening to the deafening cheers of the little snakes, the celebration was held until the early hours of the morning, if it weren't for the class tomorrow, Carchel really doubted that it would be held until dawn, lying on the soft big bed, and glanced at the three girls who were tired and asleep after the shootout next to him, Kachel thought to himself, this kind of life is quite good!
