Chapter 541: The Tournament Begins
Twenty minutes into the party, Hagrid squeezed in through the door behind the staff desk and slipped into his seat at the end.
He waved his heavily bandaged hand at Harry, Ron, Verlin, and Hermione.
"The snails are doing well, aren't they? Harry shouted.
"Excellent!" replied Hagrid, cheerfully.
"yes, I said they would be great. Ron said calmly, "Looks like he's finally found the food they like to eat, isn't he? yes fingers." ”
Then a voice sounded, "I'm sorry, do you still want this fish soup?"
She has big dark blue eyes and a mouthful of clean white teeth. The long blond hair and shawl look very attractive.
Van Lin was a little speechless, he knew that this guy would come over and make trouble.
The girl looked at them, she had already taken off her face towel, and Van Lin hadn't noticed it before.
Ron's face flushed, and he stared up at her, opening his mouth to answer, but he couldn't say a word except for a faint grunt.
"Oh, take it," Harry said, pushing the dish to the girl.
"Have you eaten it?"
"yes," Ron said, almost breathless, "yes, it tastes great." ”
"Isn't the Hogwarts meal to your liking?" Van Lin asked, his tone not very good.
"Oh, of course. The girl smiled, and suddenly the whole world brightened up.
It was a crispy and numbing sound, and it was all too familiar.
Van Lin placed the plate in the girl's hand.
The girl didn't say anything, she just blinked, and then she looked at Hermione next to Van Lin.
The girl picked up her plate and cautiously walked towards the Ravenclaw table. Ron was still staring at the girl as if he had never seen a woman before. Harry laughed, and it was the smile that woke Ron back to his senses.
Harry felt that the girl was familiar, and if Sirius was here, he would have told Harry.
However, it seems that it is okay to ask Van Lin.
Ron was completely immersed in the girl's back, the kind that couldn't extricate himself.
Then Ron said in a voice that was almost dry to the point of hoarseness, "It feels like the whole world is lighting up." ”
Harry nodded, he was naturally intrigued.
Vanlin was a little depressed, and he focused his attention on the food in front of him.
Although he had been prepared early, Beauxbatons's talent had just arrived.
"At least I didn't see that idiot staring at her. Hermione said with some atmosphere, as if complaining about her two friends not being angry, "You should learn from Van Lin, at least he didn't watch it." ”
But she wasn't entirely right. As the girl walked through the hall. Many of the boys looked back at her. Some were as dumbfounded as Ron.
"I'm telling you, that's no ordinary girl!" Ron leaned to the side to see her clearly, "I've never seen that girl make them like this at Hogwarts!"
"At Hogwache, she made everything work for them. Harry said without even thinking about it.
They happened to be sitting not far from the Rapunzel girl.
"Who's that girl?" Ron said.
"Fanlin, do you know her?"
"No, I don't know. Without thinking, Van Lin replied, "There is no doubt that she is an exchange student of Beauxbatons?"
"You didn't ...... when you were in Beauxbatons," Ron wanted to ask too much, but Hermione stopped him.
"When you two look back," Hermione said quickly, "you'll find out who's there." ”
She gestured to the staff box. The two empty seats were already occupied. Ruth Bagmund sat next to Professor Karkaroff, while Percy's boss, Mr. Crouch, sat next to Madame Maxim.
Now it's okay, everyone is here.
Van Lin naturally looked at Crouch's face, as if he wanted to see something.
And Bagmun naturally felt Fan Lin's gaze, and he unconsciously dodged a little.
Van Lin thought it was a little funny that an official of the Ministry of Magic would hide from the gaze of a little wizard.
Just because of those golden gallons?
However, Van Lin was not worried that Bagmun would deny it, the contract had been modified, if Bagmun dared to violate it......
He shouldn't be so stupid to be targeted by a powerful little wizard......
"What are they doing here?" said Harry, surprised.
"They organized the Three Witches Tournament, didn't they?" Hermione said, "I guess they came to see the tournament open." ”
The second course came up, and they also noticed a lot of strange puddings.
Ron took a closer look at a pale white custard pudding, then carefully moved it a few inches to the right, where it was clearly visible even from the Even-Carlo table.
It's a pity that the girl seemed to be full and didn't come to get it.
After the dishes on the golden plate were swept away, Dumbledore stood up again, and there was a pleasant tension in the hall, and everyone shivered with excitement as they thought about what would happen next.
Not far from them, Fred and George leaned forward, staring intently at Dumbledore.
"The time has come," Dumbledore said with a smile on the crowd's face, "the Three Witches Fighting Tournament is about to begin." Before we come in with the jewelry box, let me say a few words. ”
"Take what?" Harry muttered.
Ron shrugged.
"Just to explain the steps we've taken this year. First of all, let me introduce you to those who don't know them: Mr. Badi Crouch, Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. This is Mr. Lud Bagmunt, head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. ”
Bagmun received more applause than Klaus, perhaps because of his reputation as a chaser, or perhaps simply because he was more likable. He waved happily in thanks.
Bardy Klaus, on the other hand, does not smile or wave when his name is announced.
Harry remembered how neatly he had dressed at the Quidditch World Cup, and thought he looked weird in his wizarding robes.
Compared to Dan Bodo's long hair and beard, his toothbrush-like beard and obvious hair dividing line looked very odd.
"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagmun and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to prepare for the Three Witches. Dumbledore continued, "Together with me, Professor Karkaroff, and Lady Maxim, they will form a panel of judges who will judge the level of effort of the contestants.
”
At the mention of the contestants, the students pricked up their ears
"We will judge each contestant fairly and make the most reasonable judgment until the end of the Three Witches Fighting Competition. ”
