Chapter 565: Triwizard Tournament

The frightened and disgusted looks of the little wizards were obvious, but Alastor Moody, who was on crutches, did not restrain his momentum at all, and the magic eye looked around the audience unscrupulously, and unexpectedly saw a little wizard who dared to look at him.

Being stared at directly by a strange magic eye, Ivan didn't feel anything, but looked at each other with interest.

If he was not mistaken, the "Moody" in front of him should have been disguised by Barty Crouch Jr. in a polyjuice potion.

Ivan had to sigh that Barty Crouch Jr. was really bold!

You know, Dumbledore was a master of dementorship, and he could read some of the other person's thoughts just by looking at each other.

This means that as long as the old professor is whim, Barty Crouch Jr.'s disguise will be revealed in minutes!

Of course, Ivan also knew that the old professor would not snoop on other people's thoughts at will, unless it involved some important layout or something related to Voldemort.

Not to mention that Moody is also an experienced legendary Auror, and there is a possibility that the other party may detect the use of Dementorship, so it is unlikely that Dumblede will invade the brain of this old friend until "Moody" is exposed.

Barty Crouch Jr. may have seen this, coupled with his trust in his own acting skills, to make such a risky plan!

When Ivan looked at Moody, the other party had already taken his gaze back and walked all the way to the high platform.

Dumbledore held out his left hand and shook Moody's hand, whispered a few words, and then invited him to sit in an empty seat to his right.

Moody was not polite at all, and after sitting down, he pulled over the plates of food that had been deliberately left for him on the table.

He sniffed nervously, then took out a knife he had with him and poked it a few times, and finally poked it through one end of a sausage and ate it in a big gulp.

Dumbledore seemed to have long been accustomed to Moody's nervous appearance, and soon faced everyone and happily told them that this was the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in front of him, Alastor Moody!

There were only a few applause sporadically from the audience, and everyone was stunned by Moody's appearance and behavior, just staring at him intently, and few people echoed it at all.

Perhaps sensing that everyone's interest was not high, Dumbledore changed his voice and spoke.

"Ahh Let's get back to the point! This school year will no longer be a Quidditch Cup, and we will be proud to host another great event! ”

"It's been over a century since this event has been held, and I'm proud to report that Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year!"

Dumbledore's tone was not high, but it was like throwing a boulder into a lake, causing a huge wave in everyone's hearts.

No one even paid attention to the new professor Moody, and Fred Weasley stood up excitedly and said in surprise.

"Oh my God! You must be kidding, right? That's impossible! ”

Some of the young wizards who knew about it were both excited and a little incredulous, and Dumbledore once again confirmed this statement, and explained the origin of the Triwizard Tournament.

To put it simply, this competition was created more than 700 years ago to promote communication between the three major magic schools in Europe!

In the past, it was held every five years, and the rule was that each magic school selected a brave man, and the brave who scored the most points in the end and succeeded would achieve great honor for himself and his school!

However, this kind of event was forced to be interrupted due to the large number of deaths, and finally this year, thanks to the efforts of many parties, the Triwizard Tournament was able to resume again!

"Triwizard Tournament," Ivan muttered as he touched his chin.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity to get legendary points, but he has not yet thought about whether to participate in it or not. Unlike Harry, he didn't have little Crouch to help him, and even if he managed to throw his name in, the Goblet of Fire might not choose him.

While Ivan was pondering, Dumbledore had already finished talking about the Triwizard Tournament.

The atmosphere in the Great Hall became eager, and many young wizards were ready to move, all of whom wanted to be the warriors of Dumbledore's mouth to represent the entire House to glory!

"We're going to race!" George and Fred looked excited, especially when Dumbledore said that the winner of the match would receive a thousand Galleons, their eyes lit up!

"I don't know how the Warriors will choose, relying on luck to draw lots?" Ron was also a little moved, whether it was Glory or Jin Garon, he was very tempted.

However, Ron is still a little self-aware, if he is judged by his academic performance, he will definitely be useless!

Only the draw is a little bit possible...

"Come on, Ron, such an important game wouldn't be played in such a perfunctory way! There's no way Professor Dumbledore would allow a bad warrior to represent Hogwarts and disgrace the school! George didn't hesitate to shatter Ron's illusions.

"Maybe get a dueling arena out and see who can fight the best!" Fred made a slightly more reasonable conjecture, as Professor Dumbledore said that such a game seemed dangerous.

"Wouldn't we have a chance?" George looked at Ivan sitting on the side in distress, he had seen Ivan cast spells, if he really wanted to face it, I am afraid that no one in the school would be his opponent!

"Ivan, will you participate in the Triwizard Tournament?" Fred hurriedly asked.

"If only I could be chosen!" Ivan shrugged his shoulders and replied casually.

"Then we don't have a chance, do we?" George and Fred sighed, they both felt that if Ivan was going to run, he would probably be out of luck.

To their despair, Dumbledore soon announced the selection of the contestants!

"I know you're all eager to win Triwizard Tournament trophies for Hogwarts, but for safety reasons, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic have agreed to set an age limit for this year's contenders!"

"We will only allow students over the age of seventeen to sign up!" Dumbledore's expression was serious.

"It's not fair!" George and Fred shouted in unison, Dumbledore's words undoubtedly ruining their last hope, as they were still a year short of seventeen.

Dumbledore ignored George and Fred's protests, and raised his voice to say that this initiative was set up to protect the warriors, and the Ministry of Magic did not think that wizards under the age of seventeen could handle those dangerous events!

Ivan remained calm throughout the whole process, he already knew the rules of the competition, and of course there would be no mood swings.

After saying those precautions, Dumbledore declared the banquet over, and ordered the prefects of the major houses to return to their dormitories with the new students and the students of all grades.

Along the way, everyone was talking about the Triwizard Tournament, and Ivan echoed a few words.

When he returned to the lounge, Ivan directly intercepted Hermione, who was about to go back to the dormitory, pulled the little witch aside, hesitated and whispered.

"Hermione, when it's 10 p.m., remember to come out!"
