Chapter Twenty-Three: One More Man Is Necessary
This year, Hogwarts teaching is basically completely useless!
Daphine thought.
On Monday, although the Goblet of Fire had already been extinguished by Sunday night, it was useless to throw parchment into it. However, the conversation among the students was still focused on the registration process, and the most discussed was in the last half hour, when almost all of the lower students at Hogwarts voted their names in.
If they could have signed up normally, many of them would probably not have signed up. After all, many people are still self-aware. But I didn't have the qualifications, but I could sign up all of a sudden, and many students joined in the fun.
The students were all discussing the Goblet of Fire, and they were very distracted during the lesson. Not only the students, but also many professors are more concerned about the Goblet of Fire. Professor Flitwick even talks to the students about some of the tournaments he has experienced. Daphany had four classes on Monday, and the only one who maintained the quality of the class was Bathsida Barburing, the professor of the Ancient Runi class.
After the afternoon class, Daphany staggered towards the auditorium. There will be a Halloween dinner tonight, and by the way, the list of players will be announced, and then the tournament will officially begin.
"Cousin, cousin, have you heard?" Daphne and Daphne were walking and laughing, but they heard Draco's voice behind her.
Daphne didn't look back, she knew Draco was going to catch up.
Sure enough, the next moment Draco was next to Daphany, followed by Pansy. Pansy gasped for a while, and it was clear that the two of them were running violently. However, Draco had good physical strength, so he didn't react, and laughed in a low voice, "Cousin, that big guy from Hagrid, he actually found a girlfriend." ”
"It's Madame Maxim." Daphany replied casually.
Draco was stunned, obviously not expecting Daphany to know and take it for granted.
"What's so strange about that?" Seeing Draco's bewildered face, Daphany smiled and said, "He's that big." The only one who can meet his eyes is the same big one. ”
Draco was speechless, thinking that Daphany had a good point.
All the students walked towards the auditorium. The three colleges, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Nagud Inave, did not live in castles, but in the boats and wagons in which they came. Only the students of Ilvermorny College lived in the castle.
By the time everyone came to the auditorium, it was past seven o'clock. Although the results of the Goblet of Fire will be announced after the dinner, the students are in early waiting to hear their names.
Since Durmstrang's students were all living on their ships, their meals were delivered by elves, and only a few people came to eat in the college auditorium. The other two did not live in the castle as well.
As a result, the Hogwarts students were looking forward to it, but they didn't have much opportunity to meet Krum. In fact, Krum seemed to have caught a cold when he first arrived, and he didn't come out of the ship for almost the past two days.
The Goblet of Fire has been relocated. It was standing in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff's desk.
All the students were staring at it, expectant, nervous.
The Halloween dinner was much richer than the usual dinner, but since the dinner party for the four colleges had just been held two days ago, the students were not particularly new. In fact, the students all had anxious expressions on their faces. Everyone fidgeted, and from time to time stood up to see if Dumbledore had finished eating.
Obviously, the students were more concerned about the Goblet of Fire than the rich dishes. I care more about who exactly is chosen as a warrior!
Finally, the last professor, Professor Barburing, also put down the dishes. All the plates on the table were quickly restored to their polish. The voices in the auditorium suddenly rose a lot, and it was clear that the students knew that they were coming!
Sure enough, Dumbledore stood up. The entire auditorium fell silent in an instant. The four headmasters on either side of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as the students below. Mr. Buckman smiled and winked at the students below. Mr. Crouch looked a little unenergetic, and his face was full of exhaustion.
"Well, I'm sure you've been waiting for a long time. Now, the Goblet of Fire has to decide! Dumbledore said, pulling out his wand, "I think, the whole process should only take a minute, well, there are more warriors this time, maybe two minutes, two minutes should be enough!" Listen, after the names of the Warriors are announced, I want them to go to the top of the auditorium and walk along the faculty desks into the next room......" he said and pointed to the door behind the faculty desks, "where they will be given initial instruction!" Find out what to know about the tournament! ”
As he spoke, he greeted the four principals slightly. All four principals smiled politely, with the difference that the other three principals all seemed very sincere and respectful. Only the headmaster of Nagud Inafer, Verharen, had a perfunctory expression on his face.
Dumbledore waved his wand widely. Instantly, all but the jack-o-lanterns were extinguished, and the auditorium fell into a state of half-light and half-darkness. The Goblet of Fire now glowed brighter, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames that burst into sparks were glaring. Everyone watched and waited...... A few people kept looking at their watches......
All the students held their breath and stared at the Goblet of Fire.
The flames in the Goblet of Fire turned red again, and crackling sparks splattered out. Immediately after, a tongue of fire burst into the air. A piece of charred parchment flew out of it.
Dumbledore took the parchment. First showed it to the four principals around him, and then said loudly and clearly: "Our first warrior, and the first warrior of Durmstrang, Victor Krum!" ”
The students sitting at the Slytherin table in Durmstrang cheered in low voices, and there was a round of applause throughout the auditorium.
"This is a matter of course!" Draco clapped vigorously as he said to Pansy and Daphne beside him. Daphany applauded and nodded in agreement. Of all the warriors, Krum should be the least suspenseful.
"Great, Victor!" On the rostrum, Karkaroff shouted loudly without grace. Principal Irvermorny Stewart, who was next to him, stepped forward to shake his hand, and he excitedly gave Principal Stewart a hug. I don't know if it's exciting or take this opportunity to rub oil ~ backup station
Krum stood up calmly and shook hands with a few alumni who had come with him, and made a four-bow gesture. Walk towards the next room.
The applause and conversation died down, and everyone's attention was once again focused on the Goblet of Fire. After a few seconds, the flames turned red again. Chapter 2: The parchment bursts out of the cup under the impetus of the flames.
Dumbledore took the parchment, "Well, our second Champion and the first Hogwarts Champion, Angelina Johnson!" ”
"Good!" The whole Gryffindor blew up! All the lion cubs cheered loudly.
Daphany was a little stunned, Angelina? Isn't Cedric? What is the situation!
Daphany was still in a daze, and Angelina was already walking towards the next room with a red face amid applause.
The third warrior was a student of Beauxbatons, but to Daphne's surprise, it wasn't Fleur! It was the blonde girl who appeared next to Fleur earlier.
When the students heard the girl's name, all the students except Beauxbatons cheered. Because of that name - Audreyna Hiliex!
"Heliex!" Draco exclaimed in a low voice, not just him, but all the students from wealthy families all reacted in the same way. This surname is truly remarkable! It's hard to say which is the strongest family in the whole of Europe, but the Heliax family is definitely in the top three! Took control of the entire European potions business, the boss behind St. Mungo's Hospital. This is a real giant!
I see! Daphine knew, no wonder the girl looked at her a little wrong before, no wonder Fleur was so kind to herself. It turns out that there is a sandwich acquaintance here. A son of the Hilliax family? Daphine gently softened her eyebrows and had a headache.
After that, the first representatives of Ilvermorny appeared, again acquaintances. That werewolf, Jacob Kovinas!
The first of Nagud Inafer Academy was a boy named Markov Horton.
"The five warriors for the first round have been decided, and now, let's move on to the second round!" Dumbledore looked happy as the ceremony continued.
The sixth name turned out to be Meng Yuchen! When they saw Meng Yuchen, who was obviously only fourteen or fifteen years old, come forward with a smile, the Gryffindor junior students were all excited. Most of them put their names in.
"Well, it looks like someone has broken our age line." Dumbledore smiled at Headmaster Stewart. Principal Stewart also responded with a smile, apparently not surprised.
After that, Beauxbatons' second warrior spot fell to Fleur's head. Fleur got up and glanced at Daphany again. However, before Fleur could enter the room, Dumbledore called out Daphine's name......
Daphany walked down the staff desk. Fleur stood in the doorway, looking at Daphany with a strange expression.
Daphne grinned and walked over and gestured to Fleur. Fleur had a strange face, but she walked through the door with her.
Leaving the auditorium, Daphany found herself in a small room with portraits of wizards hanging on the walls on either side. In the fireplace across from her, the fire was blazing.
When she and Fleur entered, the faces in the portrait all turned to look at him.
Daphany didn't care about the portraits, but sniffed lightly at the scent emanating from Fleur's body. Daphany couldn't tell what it was for a while, but it vaguely felt like some kind of floral scent. But it's sweeter and more glutinous.
It smells so good! Daphany secretly admired. It's just that I don't know if it's a beautiful body fragrance or a high-end perfume.
In the room, the other warriors who had already come in were laughing and chatting, and they were sitting or standing around the fire. Had a great chat.
"Fleur, it's you!" The woman from the Hilliax family stood up with a smile, nodded to Fleur with a smile, and then saw Daphany behind her, and was slightly stunned: "Oh, Miss Lestranzie, I really want to communicate with you." ”
"My pleasure, Miss Sillyax!" Daphany smiled and nodded. At this time, Meng Yuchen had already jumped over, grabbed her hand and said, "I knew that you would definitely be selected, hehe, do you need me to release water during the competition?" ”
"Drain the water? You? Daphany smiled evilly: "You don't cry and let my men be merciful!" ”
While chatting, two more students came in one after another. A man and a woman turned out to be Oriental Asians, but they didn't know which college they belonged to for a while.
But seeing the man walk in, Krum got up and shook hands with him and bumped his shoulder, apparently from Durmstrang College. The other sat next to the same Horton. The origin speaks for itself. I just don't know what these two warriors are called.
"All of them!" Meng Yuchen said with a smile: "What will I do next." ”
"Wait!" Jacob, who also stepped forward to greet Daphany, replied with a smile. Daphine is a hook at the corner of her mouth, everyone is together, not necessarily!
Sure enough, moments later, Harry walked in with a mixed expression......
Well, sure enough, one more person is a must! Daphany secretly slandered.
