16. Three forces

"Oh...... Okay, quite unexpected, but I'd like to know Harry, how did you solve the age line I set? I was really surprised that you would throw your name into it. "Dumbledore, Crouch, and Bagman, as well as Durmstrang's Headmaster, Karkaroff, and Beauxbatons' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Madame Maxim, all walked in.

"It's not me, I didn't put my name in, and I don't know what's wrong with the Goblet of Fire, it shouldn't have chosen me."

As if grasping at a straw, Harry eagerly explained to Dumbledore, "I swear, I definitely didn't sign up, Professor Dumbledore, and believe me, I really don't know how my name came to be in the Goblet of Fire." ”

Dumbledore nodded, "Don't worry, this matter is not very bad for you, you are now a Hogwarts Warrior, even if I believe that you did not cast your name in it, even if someone else voted your name in it, but the Goblet of Fire still chose you." ”

"yes, and then kicked out the eldest young master of the Mephisto family! Harry Potter you can never imagine what a big trouble you have caused, Sherlock represents Mephisto, represents the pinnacle of the entire wizarding world pure-blood family, and compared to him, the Goblet of Fire will not be selected unless something goes wrong, now it is better to have Dumbledore check the Goblet of Fire properly, or re-screen the Warriors, or ......"

Ludo Bagman leaned in front of Harry, his expression made Harry very scared, the other party's expression seemed to be a little disgusted with him at the moment, but Harry didn't know when he was guilty of this Mr. Ludo Bagman, during the World Cup, he had only seen each other from afar.

"Since the Goblet of Fire has chosen this immortal boy, it must show that Mr. Potter has the potential to become a warrior, this child may have some integrity that others don't have, you don't forget whose hands the last dark period ended in, this year is strong but not worthy of virtue, is not worthy of the title of warrior." As the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Karkaroff suddenly stood by Harry Potter's side and defended him.

Ludo Bagman's face turned ugly, and he stared at Karkaroff viciously as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

"I don't understand you...... Now that the Champions of Hogwarts have been chosen, why do you have to worry about who it is, if you insist on making Sherlock a Champions of Hogwarts, then what's the difference between the secret operation, and now everyone outside is shouting that Harry Potter is cheating...... Do you people want to really cheat to make Sherlock a warrior? ”

Maxim was in the middle of them, her big tall man was very intimidating, at least Karkaroff and Ludo would never quarrel here.

"But he also said that he didn't put his name in it, so it must be someone else, Potter, now you say again that you have cast your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Bagman looked at Harry Potter.

"No, absolutely not!"

Bagman spread his hands, and that expression seemed to tell the others, look at you, it's the Goblet of Fire that has a problem, and this is also a secret trick on purpose, deliberately letting Harry Potter go to the Triwizard Tournament.

"Then do you want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, I want to remind you, once every five years, according to your current fourth grade, by the time of the next Triwizard Tournament, you will have already graduated, and you will miss this only opportunity in your life." Karkaroff said in Harry Potter's ear.

He was pushing Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

"Karkarov! Harry didn't qualify for the race, he didn't even sign up himself! I see, if Master Sherlock participates in this Triwizard Tournament, it will make you very unconfident, right? ”

"As long as the name is in the Goblet of Fire, then he is eligible, and pay attention to the way you speak, Bagman."

Bagman and Karkaroff looked like they were going to argue again, Dumbledore pulled the two of them apart, Bagman was still clamoring for the Goblet of Fire to be re-screened, and the Warriors had to get the students to cast their names themselves.

"Mr. Crouch...... Mr. Bagman. Dumbledore looked at the two of them again, "You two are ours...... Well...... Objective referees, you must also think that this matter is extremely inappropriate, right? ”

Mr. Crouch stood outside the aperture of the fire, his face half hidden in shadow. He looked a little weird, the dark shadow on his side made him look much older, and he looked a little like a skeleton.

But when he spoke, his voice was as stiff as usual.

"We have to abide by the rules, which clearly state that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must compete in the Triwizard Tournament."

The development of events was somewhat unexpected, and according to the charter, since Potter was chosen by the Goblet of Fire, it was natural that he would participate in the tournament.

Harry's heart was beating all the time, he didn't expect that he would be so nervous about being chosen, and a flame of indignation ignited in his heart...... If it was the Prince of Charms, there would be no objection to this.

Harry stole a glance at the expressions of Krum and Fleur next to him, Krum's expression was slightly regretful, was it because he regretted not competing with Sherlock?

Fleur, on the other hand, was so excited that she looked like she was winning.

For the first time, Harry felt that he was such a small man, and for the first time he became hostile to the warriors of the two schools.

Crouch is considered to support Harry Potter to become a champion of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore seems to be hesitating, that hesitant expression is very tangled, and almost everyone can see that Professor Dumbledore seems to have a ball in his heart that has not been straightened out yet.

The atmosphere in the cubicle was a little delicate for a while, no one expected Crouch to take such a clear stand, completely standing in support of Harry Potter to become a warrior of Hogwarts, at this time, I am afraid that even Dumbledore's right to speak as the headmaster of Hogwarts does not have the weight of Crouch, the organizer of the Triwizard Tournament.

"Hahaha, that's great, congratulations to you, Mr. Potter, you've become a Hogwarts Warrior, since even Mr. Crouch agrees." Karkaroff congratulated Harry, but Harry felt that the other man's overjoyed expression was a little weird.

If becoming a Warrior would increase the Demstrang Warriors' chances of winning the Triwizard Tournament, Karkaroff shouldn't be so happy.

The expression was as if the hunter was watching the roast spin over a campfire, calculating how long he could wait to fill his hungry stomach.

"Karkaroff, you're always so disgusting, and your hypocrisy can't change the bad water in your bones." Professor Moody limped in, in fact, Harry could hear his footsteps at once, but he still looked back.

"Now that it's all clear, Harry didn't put in the name, it's someone who is secretly making trouble, but you're still in politics, you can't figure out that maybe someone wants Potter to die for this." Moody said, with a hint of growl in his tone.

The room fell silent, and Harry spoke with some difficulty, "Professor Moody, what do you mean?" ”

Moody said calmly, "I mean it very simply, do you think Harry will be much better than Sherlock Mephisto?" It's obvious that he threw his name into the Goblet of Fire, but the one who threw your name into the Goblet is definitely a wizard with good means......"

Harry kept his mouth shut, Harry was still self-aware compared to Sherlock.

"So there's a real problem with the Goblet of Fire, but it's ...... to screen warriors How to say random, of course, the Goblet of Fire also has its own setting, even if someone else threw Harry's name into it, what evidence can be that it was not the Goblet of Fire that really chose Harry and gave up Sherlock? Madame Maxim asked, holding up two large hands.

"Because they deceived a very powerful magical object!" Moody said, "It takes a particularly powerful Confusion Charm to blind the goblet into oblivious to the existence of Sherlock Mephisto...... I suspect they must have quietly changed some sort of rule by throwing Harry's name in it, and made the flames forgotten that Mephisto was also a Hogwarts student......"

Theoretically, this seems to be true, but only if there is a purposeful wizard from outside Hogwarts who tricks the wizards led by Dumbledore into infiltrating the school, throwing Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, and then using the Confusion Charm to ensure that he is chosen.

Not to mention that at this critical moment, there are wizards who can infiltrate Hogwarts, and the various defensive screening spells cast on the Goblet of Fire alone are not something that outsiders can crack.

"How this situation came about, we don't know." Dumbledore said to everyone gathered in the room, "But it seems to me that we have no choice but to accept it, so Harry Potter is a Hogwarts warrior from now on, and Potter must also represent Hogwarts." ”

The principals of the other two schools were silent, and it wasn't a bad thing for them to make Harry Potter a warrior anyway.

It seemed to be the end of the matter, and since Harry had been chosen by the Goblet of Fire, playing in the tournament was his only option.

Seeing that the two school principals no longer had any objections, Crouch stepped out of the shadows, and he took a few steps forward into the aperture of the fire.

"Very well, now that the matter has been decided, I will give you the first step of guiding the warriors."

"The first project is to test your mettle." He said to Harry, Fleur, and Wickdor "So we're not going to tell you what it is, it's an important quality for wizards to dare to face the unknown...... Very important ......"

"The first project will be completed on November 24 in front of the other students and the judging panel."

"Warriors are not allowed to ask for or accept any help from their teachers when completing a competition, and the only weapon they have when they face the first round of challenges is their wand, and they will not learn about the second event until the first event is over, and because of the high demands and long duration of the competition, the Warriors will not take the school year exams."

"But for special safety reasons, I can definitely put a special factor in your game!" Crouch said.

Everyone else present was puzzled and didn't quite understand what Barty Crouch was trying to do!

After the mentoring phase was completed, Crouch said goodbye to Dumbledore and left the room first, and Madame Maxim put her arm around Fleur's shoulders and led her out of the room.

Karkaroff greeted Krum, and the two left without saying a word.

"Harry, I don't think it's a good time for you to go back now, the students must have been arguing a lot, if you're still in the mood, you can come to my office and let's have a cup of black tea calmly."

Harry nodded, perhaps only Dumbledore could tell him what he should do next.

But before leaving, Harry could still feel Mr. Bagman's hatred, and before the Warriors were selected during the day, Bagman was still kind, but after he became a Warrior, Bagman was unusual.

In Dumbledore's headmaster's office, Harry spoke to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sighed and explained to Harry, "What do you think Bagman belongs to, Harry!" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry Headmaster, what did you say?"

Dumbledore looked at Harry seriously, "Bagman and Karkaroff almost got into a fight because of you just now, if they had done it ten years ago, this is actually nothing more than the reason for the position." ”

Dumbledore continued, "The current wizarding world is generally divided into three forces, one is the government headed by the Ministry of Magic, I think this is not new to you, after all, wizards all over the world know what form of existence the Ministry of Magic is, even if you didn't have contact with magic when you were young, you should understand it now." ”

Harry nodded.

"And then there's some evil wizards lurking in the dark......"

"Death Eaters." Harry uttered the word, and he still thought about how terrible and chaotic it would be when the Death Eaters made trouble at the Quidditch World Cup.

"Not bad, but it's not just Death Eaters!" Dumbledore didn't intend to explain anything else to Harry, and Harry thought to himself that even if it was a Malfoy family like Draco, some pure-blood families of this style should be classified at the level of evil wizards.

But there was still a force in the wizarding world, and he was quietly listening to Dumbledore's explanation.

Eventually, Dumbledore uttered the word, "Mephisto." ”
