Chapter 234: Barty Crouch
Triwizard Tournament is also a big event for the wizarding world, perhaps the purpose of this tournament at the beginning seven hundred years ago was indeed for the friendship of the three wizarding schools. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Things have changed, and the current triwizard competition is not so much about friendship as about the three colleges showing each other their outstanding talents.
Even the Ministry of Magic has to ask...
Barty Crouch was the one who was chosen to intervene in the Ministry of Magic this time.
Originally, Fudge planned to come over in person, but due to the busy capture of Sirius and the previous Dementor incident, he was now found fault by the parents of those young wizards, and the young wizards of Hogwarts passed the news of a large number of Dementors planning to attack Hogwarts to their respective homes that day, how many howling letters would the Ministry of Magic receive? It's really exciting.
He is also dealing with the Dementor King who has lost a large number of Dementors' subordinates.
Now the whole person is so busy that he has no time to ask about any competition.
In the final analysis, it was because he died by himself, otherwise there would not have been so many things.
When the Triwizard Ceremony was officially announced, Barty Crouch, as a representative sent by the Ministry of Magic, naturally wanted to introduce some simple knowledge of the Triwizard to the young wizards.
This is mainly for the little wizards from the Muggle world.
"You know... All you need for the Triwizard Tournament is for each school to send a wizard as a representative, and we will score each player's performance in each task. After completing the three tasks, the one with the highest total score wins. The contestants will be chosen by an impartial power-up Goblet of Fire! ”
As he spoke, he lifted out a gorgeous treasure chest in front of everyone.
It is loaded with a magic item with a history of more than 700 years, the Goblet of Fire.
The red flames rising from the Goblet of Fire were exceptionally beautiful.
Then we will introduce the origin of the Triwizard Tournament and some things to pay attention to. When everything was explained, Dumbledore stepped forward and addressed the young wizards around him who had pricked up their ears and listened confidently.
"You can put your name in it, but for your safety, I'm going to draw an age line here, and students under the age of 17 can't throw your name into the Goblet of Fire."
With a wave of Dumbledore's wand, a white line appeared four or five meters away from the Goblet of Fire, and a spell was cast on it.
Dumbledore's words disappointed many young wizards, and wizards above the age of 17 could only do it after the fifth year. There are still some unwilling Gryffindors, who look eager to try, Dumbledore does not deny this, but only smiles faintly.
"So what questions do you have?" Barty Crouch said.
"Me!" Jelf raised his right hand.
If it were anyone else, the adult wizards here wouldn't take each other seriously, but if it was Jelf...
Barty Crouch had a look of impatience on his face, but he asked, "Oh, what questions does Mr. Jelph have?" ”
Instead of answering immediately, Jelf stared at Barty Crouch's face for a few moments.
This person is a fake...
Barty Crouch is a well-known official fan in the Ministry of Magic, and the current situation is something that everyone can see, Fudge's fool is about to fall, once Fudge falls, then who will sit in the position of Minister of Magic?
Barty Crouch was a strong contender for Fudge's position before he took the position of Minister of Magic, and if he could get Jerf's support... Becoming Minister of Magic is definitely a sure thing.
If the deity would have tried his best to please himself in front of Jerph, how could he have an impatient expression like now, and he would not dare to borrow a few dares.
In addition to this, Barty Crouch has long been a member of Jelf's Magical Society.
However, he hasn't reached out for a month...
Jelf spoke slowly. "It's the same routine every time, won't you be bored? What's so nice about the match between the three wizards? ”
Dumbledore took over the words and asked curiously.
"Oh? So what does Mr. Jerff mean? ”
"Why don't we play it once? Since it's a competition of students from three academies, why don't you let all the wizards participate in this competition? One student is not representative of the average of the school. ”
"Isn't it interesting that everyone has a share and never falls short?"
"It's biased to rely on a randomly drawn student with a magic item to decide the victory of a school."
Jelf's words brightened the eyes of the young wizards, who were already hopeless, and cheered, especially the two Weasley brothers of Gryffindor, who were clearly in favor of his proposal.
You can't let one person steal the limelight, Gryffindor.
It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, Slytherin.
I can learn a lot from this, Ravenclaw.
I'll do my best not to hold back, Hufflepuff.
"I think it's good, what do you think? Ms. Maxim? Dumbledore stroked his silver beard in support.
Maxim looked a little hesitant: "Isn't this too dangerous?" You know, every Triwizard Tournament has had an accident, in case..."
"Absolutely not!" Before Ms. X2 Maxim could finish her sentence, two voices rang out next to her in disagreement.
It was Karkaroff and Barty Crouch.
"The rules of the Triwizard Tournament were established hundreds of years ago, and we can't just change them... I think it's better to follow the method that we set out at the beginning. ”
After saying this, Karkaroff retracted back into place, not daring to look at Jerf more. Barty Crouch looked at Jelf with a slight anger.
Two idiots... You can get a lot of useful information by just scamming you.
There's really something greasy in this triwizard battle... The Ministry of Magic seems to have been penetrated, is it Voldemort? It is worthy of being a figure who has dominated the wizarding world for more than ten years and has also influenced the wizarding world for more than ten years after disappearing.
Sure enough, if Voldemort is not dealt with for a day, the wizarding world will not be completely controlled by himself for a day. This has nothing to do with Voldemort's strength, the main thing is that Voldemort's influence on the wizarding world is so great that he doesn't have to do anything and others don't dare to resist him.
"Isn't it possible? Then I don't have an opinion. Jerph spread his hands.
Seeing that Jelf had stopped so quickly, Barty Crouch showed a hint of joy. "In that case, the Goblet of Fire will still be used to select the players."
In the sighs of the young wizards, Barty Crouch decided.
Dumbledore was silent, the old fox seemed to see something. (To be continued.) )
