In celebration of Halloween, the entire auditorium was decorated with a bit of a spooky look.

A large group of black bats wandered around in mid-air with jack-o-lanterns in their mouths, and the bright candle flames became much dimmer, and the ghosts that were usually difficult to encounter appeared to greet the little wizards passing by.

The long tables of the four academies were already full, and the Goblet of Fire, which had been placed in the center of the high platform, had been moved to a short distance from the teacher's seat.

The little wizards in the audience fidgeted one by one, talking to each other, and their eyes kept turning to Dumbledore who was sitting in the teacher's seat, anxiously waiting for the moment to announce the warrior candidates.

After Ivan sat down, Hermione asked curiously.

"Ivan, what did Professor McGonagall ask you for?"

"Let me help decorate the castle!" Ivan replied casually.

Harry and Ron approached the crowd, curious to see if they had crossed the age line set by Professor Dumbledore.

"Anyway, I signed up last night!" Considering that the results were about to be announced, Ivan said it truthfully, and then without waiting for the excited two to speak, he continued.

"You slept too deep in the middle of the night, I couldn't wake you up, the Goblet of Fire needs to vote in person, even if I want to, I can't do it......"

Ivan's explanation succeeded in blocking Ron's mouth, but Ron still complained in his heart that Ivan was not a friend enough, and even if such an important thing was deadlifted, he had to pull them over.

Harry was also a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mindset.

Although he often fantasizes about becoming a Warrior and eventually winning the championship in his heart these days, he also knows that his ability is not enough, and becoming a Warrior will probably only disgrace Hogwarts.

As they spoke, the noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and Ivan looked at the stage and saw that it was Dumbledore who had risen from his position in the teacher's seat.

This means that it is time to announce the results!

The little wizards in the audience looked at each other, and even Ivan couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Dumbledore walked over to the table where the Goblet of Fire was placed, looked at the clock on the wall, and looked around at the crowd as he spoke.

"It's probably a little while! Before the results are officially announced, I have to say one more thing - when the names of the warriors are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the auditorium, walk down the faculty desks, and enter the next room...... They will get an initial instruction there! ”

Dumbledore pointed to the door behind the staff's desk, motioned, and when everyone was listening, he nodded in satisfaction, took out his wand from his bosom, and waved it heavily.

In an instant, the surroundings went dark, except for a few jack-o-lanterns, the rest of the candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of half-light and half-darkness.

Correspondingly, the flames of the Goblet of Fire quickly strung together and turned a dazzling crimson, and crackling sparks flew up, spewing out a piece of charred parchment.

Dumbledore reached out and took it, glanced at it, and read it out in a loud voice.

"Durmstrang's Warriors – Victor Krum!"

There was an unusually enthusiastic cheer from the Slytherin seats, and many people at the long tables of the other houses applauded, all of whom were big fans of Krum.

Ron, for example, was very excited, and when he heard Dumbledore say Krum, he was so excited that he felt like he had read his own name.

Dumbledore raised his palm and pressed it down, and when the applause and conversation had subsided, another piece of parchment flew out under the thrust of the flames and landed in Dumbledore's hand.

"The Warriors of Beauxbatons – Fleur Delacour!" Dumbledore shouted.

With a smile on her face, Fleur gracefully stood up from the long Ravenclaw table, and the boys in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically in congratulations.

A few seconds later, the Goblet of Fire's fireworks turned red again, and sparks burst out.

The little wizards in the audience looked at this goblet nervously and excitedly, they all knew that it was the turn of the Hogwarts warriors!

The third piece of parchment soon flew out.

"The warriors of Hogwarts—" Dumbledore said loudly, his face showing just the right amount of surprise, and his gaze turned to the Gryffindor table, word for word.

"Ivan Hals!"

Under the watchful eye, Ivan stood up and nodded around.

The noisy auditorium suddenly fell silent, and the young wizards present stared at Ivan with amazement, questioning, and admiring eyes.

Fleur and Krum, who had not yet walked out of the auditorium, also stopped and turned around.

"Wait—" Karkaroff slapped the table and got up from his seat, looked at Ivan and then glared at Dumbledore. Albus, if I'm not mistaken, according to the rules, the candidate for a warrior should be an adult wizard over seventeen, not a fourteen-year-old! ”

"Rest easy, Karkaroff, you're not mistaken...... As for why this is so, then ask Mr. Hals! Dumbledore said with interest.

Although he knew that McGonagall had already sought out Ivan and should know how Ivan crossed the age line, Dumbledore had no intention of asking.

The unknown is sometimes a pleasure.

There was no panic on Ivan's face, and he replied with a comfortable expression.

"That's because I wrote my name and the school I represented on a piece of parchment and threw it into the Goblet of Fire within the allotted time.

Obviously, the Goblet of Fire recognizes me as the best cadet of all the candidates, and deserves to be a Hogwarts Champion! ”

Ivan's words were undoubtedly a bit arrogant, which made many senior students look at them angrily, but they couldn't refute it, and they couldn't be aggrieved for a while.

"We're not asking about that, Mr. Hals, you haven't answered how you crossed that age line!" Karkaroff frowned and asked relentlessly, suspecting that Dumbledore had secretly opened the back door for Ivan.

The little wizards in the Great Hall were equally curious, staring at Ivan one by one, waiting for his answer.

"No, you're mistaken, I can't break Professor Dumbledore's magic!" Ivan shook his head and replied truthfully.

There was an uproar on the field, this time it was not only Karkarov, but even Maxim stood up, questioning Ivan for relying on cheating to get the place of the warrior, and many unsuccessful little wizards did not dare to do so, suggesting that Ivan's status as a warrior be canceled!

In the face of everyone's doubts, Ivan was still calm and calm, and he pointed to the Goblet of Fire on the high platform and spoke.

"Who said you have to crack the age line to get your name in? Wouldn't it be enough to just let a student who meets the conditions take out the Goblet of Fire? ”
