The Quidditch World Cup was halted due to the Death Eaters. The huge playing field and living quarters were also destroyed, like a village after the war, dilapidated and desolate.

The flames of the fire were still dancing on the dead wood, and the misty smoke drifted away, plunging the surroundings into darkness and a pungent stench of burnt everywhere.

Harry stood in the middle of the field, his piercing gaze staring through the lenses at the one ahead, where the embarrassed Death Eaters were scrambling to retreat.

"Harry—" Hermione on the side stretched out her hands, wrapped her clenched fists, and said with some concern, "Harry, they're gone." ”

"Whew—" Harry gasped, a look of exhaustion on his face. He had fought off dozens of Death Eaters almost single-handedly, and a powerful burst had drained him of almost all of his mana, making him feel very tired and even a little out of strength.

But the physical exertion is far less than what he has in his heart. When he faced the Death Eaters in a brave battle, he shouted to the wizards around him to unite and fight together, but Harry was very disappointed, and those wizards were so focused on escaping, even so that they could escape, they would not hesitate to wave their wands at those who stood in front of them.

For the first time, Harry was disappointed in the people and events of the wizarding world. He began to understand why Balthazar and Veronica had a look of shitty on their faces when they talked about the European wizarding world.

Seriously, Harry had the urge to stop caring with Voldemort, and if it weren't for his blood feud with Voldemort, he would probably have really given up. Just because of this kind of magical world, it is not worth it at all, and it does not deserve to be saved!

"I'm fine, Hermione." Seeing the worried look on his little girlfriend's face, Harry smiled a little far-fetched and comforted.

Hermione could tell that Harry was in a bad mood, and she knew why, because she shared the same indignation. However, the clever Hermione knew that it was not appropriate to say more at this time, and it was better to be quiet with Harry than to say useless words of comfort.

At this time, the people from the Ministry of Magic finally arrived, and they didn't know what this group of idiots was doing before, at least more than an hour had passed since the chaos began, and even if it was a crawler, it should have arrived a long time ago.

"What about the Death Eaters? Where is it?! The leader was a sterned-looking man in his fifties, and as soon as he arrived, he asked Harry loudly, with a serious expression of envy and hatred on his face.

Barty Crouch is the former Director of the Legal Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic, and is currently the Director of the Legal Trials Division of the Magical Cooperative.

"I've run away a long time ago." Harry just replied coldly, without saying much, and did not ask why these so-called enforcers came so late, because he felt that asking was a vain question, which would only make him more disappointed and disgusted with the wizarding world.

"Don't lie! This is the scene of the crime, and you are now very suspicious! Barty Crouch was loud and aggressive.

Harry's eyes froze, and his face became not very good-looking, Hermione on the side snorted, stepped forward and raised his hand to show the double snake ring on the index finger of his right hand, and then took Harry's hand again, and then said with a little anger: "Please pay attention to your words, you have no evidence to frame us indiscriminately, as the heirs of the Supreme Merlin, we have the right to hold you accountable for our own honor!" ”

Barty Crouch's pupils contracted when he saw the magic rings on the hands of the two, and it was only then that he recognized the identities of the pair of young men and girls in front of him. Even though he is the head of the Department of Legal Trials and has the same status as the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, he is not half a star worse than the descendants of the Supreme Merlin, because the Supreme Merlin is a pioneer of magic and is known as the great creator of the wizarding world.

"I'm sorry, but I was overly talking." Barty Crouch bowed his head and apologized, his face still stiff: "Please tell me, where did those troublemakers go?" ”

Barty Crouch's appearance made Harry feel a little better about him, at least the old-fashioned old man was a real man.

Harry pointed in a direction, and Barty Crouch quickly chased after him with a group of men.

Afterwards, the Weasleys arrived, taking Harry and Hermione with them.

After this incident, Harry felt that he had grown a lot, he had always thought that the wizarding world was full of magic and beauty, and that although there was such an existence as Voldemort, there were still many beautiful things, but now it seems that this is not the case, which makes him feel very disgusted.

However, Harry did not feel too confused about the future, and with Balthazar's words and deeds, he had already learned how to think about problems in many ways. Regarding Voldemort, Harry decided to stick to it, not for the wizarding world, but for the revenge of his parents, and it was enough to have such a reason.

The next day, Hogwarts, Great Hall;

As usual, the opening ceremony of the new semester is taking place. After the incoming first-year students had been assigned to the house, all the students were staring at Dumbledore in anticipation of what he had to say next.

Because in the afternoon, almost the entire school saw the flying carriage and the underwater ship, and the students who had heard the news a long time ago naturally knew that it was the people from the other two magic academies and the reason why they were here. At this moment, these students can't wait to meet the guests who have come from afar.

"Now I have two things to announce, the first is about this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Lupin, who taught last year, will no longer be teaching this subject for some special reasons, and the new professor is a good friend of mine, and you will see him soon."

Dumbledore cleared his throat as he spoke, and continued, "In addition, I am pleased to tell you that in addition to the official professors, I am fortunate to have Mr. Drake, the descendant of the Supreme Merlin, to be a visiting professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. ”

The Great Hall suddenly became noisy, and the students of the various houses were very surprised, except for the Harry trio, who had been known for a long time, and it was hard for them to imagine that the man who had been away for two years had returned, and to put it mildly, Broken Chen was a legendary figure at Hogwarts, even though he had only been there for less than a year.

The first-year freshmen didn't know much about it, but they just saw the seat where Professor Zhang Wang, who was probing their brains from the seniors, and they all followed suit, but unfortunately they didn't see the person they were looking for, because Fachen was bored, so he didn't participate in this opening ceremony, and at this time he had already gone to the Forbidden Forest alone to find some things needed for alchemy.

"Don't be anxious, you can meet Professor Drake when class starts." Dumbledore smiled and soothed the students, then said, "Then the second thing, I want to tell you that this castle will no longer be just a place for you to study and live in the coming year, but also some special guests will be welcomed here, because Hogwarts will host a big event, which is the Triwizard Tournament!" ”

When they finally heard the point, the students, who had long been unable to hold back, cheered excitedly.

"Now, then, let's have the beautiful girls from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and their headmaster, Madame Maxim."

As Dumbledore spoke, the Great Hall door opened.

A group of young girls wearing sky blue satin lady skirts walked in with light steps, with a unique romantic mood of the French in every move, coupled with a simple dance appearance, showing the dignified and elegant atmosphere of women, especially the leading girls, very beautiful, and their gestures were with a hint of softness, which directly dazzled a group of boys at Hogwarts, and applauded desperately one by one.

On the other hand, the faces of the girls are not very good-looking, especially Hermione, seeing Harry applauding the other girls, her mouth can be pouted and she can hang an oil bottle.

The girls of Beauxbatons saw that they were so popular here, and they all raised their chins proudly, like proud peacocks. In fact, they did look down on Hogwarts, because the castle was too old and outdated to compare to the splendid court-style academy of Beauxbatons.

One of the girls was an exception, who seemed to be a little absent-minded, constantly looking around the line, as if looking for something.

"Hermione, look, isn't that Penelope?" Harry said suddenly.

When Ron heard this, he immediately stood up: "Where? Wow! It's really her! You don't know, since she transferred to Beauxbatons, my brother Percy has lost his soul, he has had a crush on Penelope for a long time, but unfortunately Penelope likes Mr. Drake. Ay? Hermione, you're still a rival to her! You... Woooooo

Ron was covered before he finished speaking, and Hermione, who was angry, was about to say two cruel words to warn Ron's big mouth, but the people around him had already surrounded and dragged Ron away, looking at their gossip fire burning, Hermione only felt that her eyes were black for a while.

"It's okay, Hermione." Harry took his girlfriend's hand and comforted, "That's the old days, they are all young and ignorant, they just say go, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

Hermione's heart warmed, and she nodded, and sat down against Harry. The people who were playing didn't see it, only Ginny, who was sitting across from the two, noticed it, and Harry's number one little fan girl suddenly felt hurt in her heart.

It can only be said that feelings are not shallow to harm people.

Dumbledore raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Here are friends from the north, please the Lang warriors of Demther and their headmaster Igor Karov. ”

With the sound of a wooden cane hitting the ground, a group of tall and strong boys with obvious fighting ethnic characteristics strode into the auditorium, and every time the wooden cane hit the ground, it would stir up sparks, which seemed extraordinary.

And seeing Victor Krum who walked in closely, many of his fans exclaimed, and many girls and girls also launched, and this time they were replaced by boys.

The audience arrived, and the dinner officially began. The professors chatted and enjoyed their food, and Hagrid stared at Madame Maxim with misty eyes, because the other party was the girl of his dreams, and he had been teased about it.

Next, Filch, the administrator, led the Goblet of Fire, and Barty Crouch took the stage as commissioner, reading out some of the rules for the Triwizard Tournament. Then there's Barty Crouch Jr., who is also a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts for the school year, posing as Mad Eye Moody.

At this time, all the characters basically appeared.

This also indicates that the Goblet of Fire plot has officially begun.
