Each branch welcomed a new batch of students, and although it happens once a year, everyone is still excited.

Daphany is peeking at the cute little Lori who is new to school this year. Well, there's a good one, MacDonald? I don't have an impression, I guess it's an ordinary person or a small family. Very cute little girl, but unfortunately assigned to Gryffindor.

Another interesting thing is that a little boy who was sorted into Gryffindor was wearing Hagrid's fur coat. What body shape does Hagrid have? The coat was longer than his cloak, and it nearly tripped him several times.

Did it fall into the water? Daphne thought with a wicked taste, and then shuddered at the thought of the dark waters of the black lake.

Daphany was a little afraid of water, or rather of the dead water. She discovered this when she was in her first grade by boat across the Black Lake. This is actually purely psychological, and the reason is unknown. In fact, Daphany can swim, albeit not at a high level. Fortunately, this hydrophobia is not obvious. And if it's during the day, the symptoms will be much lessened. Even so, Daphany deliberately moved away from the Black Lagoon a little bit.

After all the new students have been allocated, the dinner begins.

Daphany glanced over to Gryffindor and saw that Hermione seemed to be arguing with Ron about something. Both sides were very impatient and unimpressed.

The trio's relationship eased a bit over the summer, especially after watching the World Cup games together. But it's still not as good as it should have been. The reason is simple, Hermione is out of touch.

Hopefully Hermione wasn't messing around with the house-elf thing, Daphany nibbled on a lamb chop. Dephine didn't want to wear a badge with vomit.

When everyone had eaten about the same, they changed to dessert. Dumbledore stood up.

The students, who had eaten about the same amount of food, were staring at him, but they immediately fell silent. All that remained in the auditorium was the beating of the wind and the rain.

All right! Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Now, I think everyone has eaten and drunk, and I must ask for everyone's attention once again, I have to announce a few notices." ”

Dumbledore began by saying all the rules and regulations, and the students listened drowsily. After a few moments, he continued: "I'd like to regret to tell you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year. ”

Most of the students at the bottom looked at him with interest, most of them already knew about the Triwizard Tournament, so they were looking forward to what Dumbledore had to say.

"Huh? No one was surprised. Dumbledore was a little surprised by the students' reaction.

"Let's talk about the rest of the story!" One of the Weasley twins shouted.

"Okay, okay, it looks like the big guy is better informed than I thought." Dumbledore laughed, "Yes, that's actually good news! Because a big event will start in October and continue throughout the school year, it will take up a lot of time and energy from teachers – but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it. I'm very pleased to announce that this year at Hogwarts—"

At this moment, a deafening thunder sounded, and the enchanted sky of the auditorium seemed to be affected by the weather outside, and followed by a bolt of lightning.

A red light shot out from a corner of the auditorium, just in time for the lightning. The lightning bolt was struck by the red rays, and it turned back. And the ceiling that was originally 'changing the sky' has also returned to calm.

For a moment, all the students looked in the direction of the red mang.

A man stood there, on a long cane, wrapped in a black traveling cloak. He slowly walked out of the dark corner, and all the students who saw him gasped.

The light illuminated the man's face very vividly, it was an extremely hideous face. It was carved out of a piece of decaying wood, and the carver had only a vague idea of what a human face should look like, and he was not very good at using a carving knife. Every inch of skin on his face seemed to be scarred, his mouth was like a crooked gap, and the place where his nose should have bulged was gone. And the most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.

One of his eyes was small, black, and shiny; The other eye was large, round like a coin, and a vivid bright blue. The blue eye moved unblinking, up and down, left and right, completely unrelated to the normal eye—and then, the blue eye rolled and burrowed into the man's head, and everyone could only see a large white eyeball, which was naturally a mad-eyed man, Alastor Moody.

Moody walked over to Dumbledore. He stretched out a hand, which was as scarred as his face. Dumbledore shook his hand, and Moody smirked, "What a stupid ceiling, isn't it, Albus." His voice was quiet, but the auditorium was so quiet that everyone could hear it.

Dumbledore was also smiling, as if he was whispering something to Moody, but his voice was so low that no one could hear him. Nine peaches

Moody retracted his smile and shook his head, answering in a low voice. Dumbledore nodded, motioning for the man to sit in an empty seat to his right.

Moody sat down, shook his head, shook his long gray hair from his face, and pulled a plate of sausages over his crippled nose and sniffed it. He took a knife from his pocket, poked it through one end of a sausage, and ate it. His normal eyes were staring at the sausage, but the blue eye still kept rolling around in its sockets, looking at the auditorium and his classmates.

Daphany looked at Moody with interest and smiled. It's funny, it's funny, and it's not bad at all with the real Moody's. But it's a pity that appearance can deceive people, but mental fluctuations are people who can't deceive. Dafanie recognized the mental swing, Barty Crouch Jr.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Professor Moody. ”

"Mad-Eye Moody?" Draco looked at Moody, who was sitting on the podium, his face full of disbelief.

"Who is he?" Sitting next to Draco was Pansy, and next to her were Daphne and her sister Astoria. Astoria didn't recognize Moody, so she asked curiously.

"A retired Auror." Daphne, the older sister next to her, explained in a low voice, "Very powerful magician. ”

"It's not ordinary," Daphany said with a smile, "In the British wizarding world, apart from Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid there are few more powerful than him." ”

"So powerful? Is it better than Sister Dafanie? Astoria looked dumbfounded.

Including Daphine, several people around her had black lines on their faces.

"Than me? What kind of green onion am I? Daphine laughed and shook her head: "Moody, well, now I'm going to call Professor Moody, even if it's two, I'm not his opponent." ”

"What a stake!" Astoria exclaimed. In her opinion, Sister Daphany is already at the top.

From the podium, Dumbledore's speech continued, "As I said," he said with a smile as he looked at the crowd of students in front of him, who were still staring blankly at Mad-Eyed Moody, "in the coming months we will be honored to host a wonderful event that has not been held in over a century. I'm pleased to report that Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. ”

"Wow!" Although it has long been known that the Triwizard Tournament will be reopened, there are not too many things to be hosted by Hogwarts. Even if they knew, it was really from the mouth of the principal that the students were still excited. Some of the students who didn't know what the Triwizard Tournament was hurriedly asked the other students around them. After receiving the not so accurate answer, the students also became excited.

Afterwards, Dumbledore gave a brief introduction to the Triwizard Tournament. Although there have been many casualties before, the little wizards are all in a posture of life and death at this time, and they can't wait to roll up their arms and sleeves immediately, and now they will fight and win the championship, which is famous all over the world.

"Speaking of which, this year's Triwizard Tournament may be a little different from previous competitions! Well, it's going to be very special. Dumbledore suddenly smiled wonderfully, "However, I can't tell you anything special just yet. ”

"Shh The little wizards below booed loudly, but Dumbledore didn't care at all, grinning and not speaking.

"What's that?" Daphine was also speechless, what is so special, why don't you say it to the old bee. If you pretend to be forced, you want to run, it's too much!

The White Wizard was completely indifferent to the little wizards' dissatisfaction, just as the little wizards booed him and said that he didn't care. After waiting for a while, he continued to smile and said: "In view of the danger of this competition, the organizing committee led by the International Federation of Wizards has decided to add an age limit to this competition. Only students who are at least seventeen years old, that is, must be over seventeen years old, are allowed to enroll. ”

"What the hell!" "!" "Fallacy!" “FK!”

An unprecedented commotion spread throughout the auditorium, and all the junior students were making a loud noise.

His Excellency the White Wizard was still unimpressed, and continued to smile and said, "We will set some restrictions so that students under the age of seventeen cannot participate, so if you are under the age of seventeen, don't waste time applying. As he said this, Dumbledore looked at the Slytherin table. Everyone knew that he was looking at Daphany. So, everyone looked at Daphany.

However, everyone who looked over noticed that Daphany was not as angry as the rest of her junior classmates. Instead, he ate the pudding leisurely. Dumbledore looked over and smiled sweetly.

"Is Daphany stupid?" Gryffindor, one of the twins muttered to the other.

"Quite possibly!" The other nodded sheepishly.
