It is worth mentioning that among Durmstrang's students this time there is a big star - Victor Krum, a talented player who has been selected for the national team, and the best Seeker in the world.

The uproar among the students was even greater than when Dumbledore had announced that the Triwizard Tournament was going to be held, even though it was all the students at the time, and this time it was only a few of them.

But the star effect is terrifying, and Ios finds that several of the schoolgirls he thought were quieter before are discussing whether or not to have Krum sign on his clothes. Please, your people are broken.

When they returned to their long tables in their own houses, the Beauxbatons students chose to sit down there, while Durmstrang, where Krum was located, hesitated for a moment before sitting on the Slytherin side.

Right next to Ios's place sat a Beauxbatons girl, her head tightly wrapped in a scarf and turban, revealing only a pair of sapphire eyes.

Instead of looking around the auditorium like the other Beauxbatons students, she looked at Ios with interest, though he was often looked at like this and didn't feel uncomfortable.

However, as the president of the student council, Ios believes that he should still serve as a role model for his students, and he should first set an example by communicating with students from other schools.

He turned his head to look at the girl and blurted out in fluent French, "I think it's still very warm in the auditorium, you can untie your headscarf so it won't be stuffy." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's sapphire eyes, obviously she didn't expect anyone at Hogwarts to speak French, and speak it so well, if she met him in France, she wouldn't think he was an Englishman at all.

She untied the scarf and turban she had wrapped around her head and chatted with Ios: "Your French is so good, have you ever been to France?" ”

A long silver hair hung down to his waist, and his face was the most beautiful girl Ios had ever seen in this world, even he lost his mind for a moment, and he didn't know if it was simply because of his amazing appearance, or if the bloodline of the girl in her body was in effect.

"I haven't been to France, it's just self-taught out of personal interest." Ios laughed self-deprecatingly, his own heart was still not up to par.

"Yes." The girl replied noncommittally, "My name is Fleur, Fleur Delacour!" ”

"Ios Sovor!"

At this moment, the teachers and the headmaster also entered, and the students of Beauxbatons, who were sitting next to Ios, stood up at the sight of their headmaster, and did not sit down again until Madame Maxim was seated.

"Are you afraid of your headmaster?"

"No, we just respect her, Madame Maxim is a very good person." Fleur whispered back, but, after a moment's hesitation, added, "Of course, we're a little afraid of her. ”

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Dumbledore spoke, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and—especially—distinguished guests, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here. ”

Hearing this, Fleur seemed to want to sneer to mock the environment that seemed to her to be ordinary, but when she saw Ios just looking over, it finally turned into a low voice to clear her throat.

"The tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet." Dumbledore was still speaking, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as if they were in your own home!" With that, he sat down.

The plate in front of him was instantly filled with food as usual, and unlike usual, this time the dishes were much more sumptuous than before, and there were a few dishes that Ios had never seen before, maybe foreign dishes?

Ios and Fleur chatted while eating, of course, mainly Ios was listening and Fleur was talking about it, she was introducing him to some things about her hometown, and the exotic introduction made Ios also have a little urge to travel to France.

Eating and eating, Fleur seemed to have stumbled upon something, "You wait, there's something good." With that, she got up and walked over to the long table at Gryffindor.

Ios looked over curiously and saw that she was talking to the three of Harry, and then came back cautiously with a plate of dishes, while Ron kept staring at her with a blushing face, and there were many boys along the way like him.

"French Fish Soup." Fleur put the plate down and introduced to Ios, "A very nice dish, can you try it?" ”

She had done so, and Ios had nothing to say but to taste the smorgasbord of seafood. Not to mention, the taste is still good.

Seeing Ios showing a satisfied look, Fleur said proudly, "How about it, it's good." ”

When everyone was full, the golden plate was empty again, and Dumbledore stood up again.

The time has finally come," Dumbledore said, smiling at the upturned faces, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I'd like to explain a few words before I bring the box in—"

"—I would like to explain the program of our activities for this school year. But first allow me to introduce two guests, because there are still people who don't know them: Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, and Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued, "and they will form a panel of judges with me, Professor Karkaroff and Miss Maxim to judge the efforts of the Warriors. ”

As soon as they heard the word "warrior", the students seemed to be more attentive. Dumbledore also seemed to notice their sudden silence, only to see him smile and say, "Mr. Filch, please bring the box." ”

"There will be three warriors who will be selected to compete, one from each school. And the ones who chose the champions of their respective schools—" Dumbledore opened the large jeweled wooden box that Filch had brought and took out a rough cut wooden goblet from inside, "It's it, the Goblet of Fire!" ”

The mouth of the wooden cup danced with blue-white flames, and it looked very strange.

"Every student who wants to run for the Warrior must write his name and the name of his school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," Dumbledore said.

"Those who aspire to become warriors can sign up within 24 hours. Tomorrow night, the night of Halloween, Goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the foyer and will be accessible to all students who are willing to participate in the campaign. ”

"Lest the younger students fall short of temptation," Dumbledore said, "I'm going to draw an age line around the goblet when it's in the foyer." No one under the age of 17 can cross this age line. ”

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone who is going to participate in the election to pay attention to the fact that this competition is not a child's play, and you must not participate in it recklessly. Once the Warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must hold the game to the end. Whoever throws his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. ”

"So think twice and find out that you really want to participate in the race before you put your name in the cup. Okay, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night to all. ”
