361. Draw lots

Just as Harry himself locked himself in the practice room of the small club and practiced desperately, Lady Diggory quietly arrived with a large army of Magic Television.

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, in front of the forest where the fire dragon was, five or six photographers were carrying their own cameras to take pictures of the site and the sleeping fire dragon.

"Viewers from all over the world, this is the venue for the first event of the Triwizard Tournament that is about to begin. ”

"The six adult dragons provided by the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary are fully prepared for the warriors to challenge, and at this time all the warriors are unaware of this, and the Ministry of Magic assures that the warriors will not be able to learn about the game on Hogwarts TV during this time. ”

"Tomorrow morning, Magic TV will broadcast this competition live for you, so stay tuned!"

Mrs. Diggory put away the microphone, and Field took two steps to meet him.

"Mom, how many people are here this time?" asked Field, looking at the Magic TV employees coming in and out of several tents.

"Twenty-three of us, we'll have to set up the equipment by tomorrow morning. Mrs. Diggory walked over to a wizard who was testing the signal and looked at the monitor.

"Field, do you know how Syd is doing?" asked Mrs. Diggory, worried.

"Mom, don't worry, don't you know Seid's strength? It's not like you want to kill the fire dragon, it's not hard for him. Field said heartlessly.

Hearing what Field said, Mrs. Diggory was relieved, and he pointed to one of the tents at the very edge and said, "Go, get your work done quickly, and then you can go back, and remember not to let the game out in advance." ”

Looking at Mrs. Diggory's back in the distance, Field wanted to tell her that all the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament now knew what the event was.

Shaking his head, Field walked into the tent at the edge of the field, the enchanted tent was very large and contained 12 flying cameras, Gore and another middle-aged wizard were adjusting them with their wands. A small pitch-black camera, with snow-white wings, is lined up in a circle and flies around a model of a fire dragon in the center.

Field went to the monitor in the corner, looked at the 12 screens, and found no problems, so he was relieved.

This is the business of the Nice studio, thanks to which Field can get to the venue before the game, and for the rest of the game, Field will need to follow the control center of the magic TV station for the whole time, in case of any problems that arise during the live broadcast.

..........................................

The day of the competition finally came, but the hard-pressed student party still had to take a morning class, and the competition time was in the afternoon.

At noon, at lunchtime, Field took the time to visit Cedric, who seemed to be quite calm, but his slightly trembling hands indicated that his heart was not at peace.

Cedric had been up close to the dragons, but the closer he came to them, the more he knew the horror of these behemoths.

"Are you alright, Seid?" asked Field.

"It's okay, Field, just a little nervous, I'm ready. Don't worry. Cedric said.

Well, Field knew he was a little overly nervous, otherwise Cedric's personality wouldn't have said so much.

Before Field could say anything more, there were already people from the Ministry of Magic calling the warriors to assemble at the entrance of the auditorium, so Cedric stood up and went to do his preparations, and before leaving, he patted Field on the shoulder to signal him to be reassured.

Field looked up and glanced around the Beauxbatons where Helen Hathaway and Fleur Delacour had no bloodshot on their faces, and they followed Mrs. Maxim without saying a word.

On Durmstrang's side, Viktor Krum kept his head bowed, Karkaroff kept talking to him, and Leo Poliaco tried to interject between them, but the two ignored them.

Field turned to Harry's side, and Harry seemed to be a little distracted, and followed Professor McGonagall blankly, Professor McGonagall seemed to be a little anxious, her face full of apprehension.

After the warriors left, the teachers of the school began to organize the whole school to go to the competition field of the fire dragon. Field was pulled by Gore on the side to get ahead of the crowd.

"We've got to hurry, Field, we have to get in place before everybody is ready. Gore said anxiously that he was in charge of the scheduling of the live broadcast today.

The two walked briskly around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and soon caught up with the Warriors, and Field held out his hand to a dazed Harry, high-fived him, smiled at Cedric, and made a cheering gesture to Fleur.

One by one, the Warriors walked into a tent, while Gore and Field stepped onto the playing field.

It was a cylindrical makeshift field, which looked a bit like a Quidditch match, surrounded by a ring of towering stands, which should have been built by magic for the past two days.

Under the middle is a temporary arena artificially arranged, with strange rocks and sand at the bottom, and there is a gap in the middle of a fence on one side, which should be the place where the warriors enter. On the other side is a stone gate, in front of which is a shallow pit, which is supposed to be the place where the fire dragon is placed.

Following Gore, Field walked through the stands, and behind the referee's bench they entered a small room.

The room was clearly magical, and it looked spacious, with several large screens floating in the center, and five meters away were two other rows of monitors, each with a wizard sitting in front of them.

Mrs. Diggory was standing behind the monitor and saw Field come in and hugged him.

"Field, I'll have to go out and be the moderator with Mr. Bagman, and you're here to cooperate with Gore. She said.

"Don't worry, Mom!" said Field.

Seeing off Mrs. Diggory, Field walked behind the monitors, and beside Gore, there were two rows of fourteen monitors, twelve of which were filming the student audience around the perimeter of the venue.

The other two followed Mrs. Diggory to the warrior's tent.

"Originally, Lady Diggory was going to negotiate with the Ministry of Magic to add audience box seats to sell to wizards who were willing to buy tickets to watch the game live, but due to the opposition of Headmaster Dumbledore, this plan was canceled, so the venue for the game was a little rudimentary. Gore stared at the monitor as he spoke to Field.

Field nodded noncommittally, then looked at the two monitors that showed Mrs. Diggory.

"All ready, the main screen switches to the first machine. Gore shouted abruptly.

Field looked up at the large floating screen, which showed Mrs. Diggory walking down a forest path, about 10 seconds behind the footage on monitor 1, presumably in preparation to avoid a live stream incident.

Mrs. Diggory's voice came from the big screen.

"After a long and careful planning and preparation, the first event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, and now before the tournament, we will be meeting with the six warriors to reveal the events and draw lots to determine the order of the tournament. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Diggory walked into the tent, and there was only one host in it, Ludo Bagman, an official of the Ministry of Magic, except for the six warriors.

"Position 2, give Bagman a close-up. Gore said quickly.

The main screen suddenly switches to Mr. Bagman, who is wearing his old team uniform when he was a chaser on the Hornets, and when he sees Mrs. Diggory coming in, he waves to the camera, which seems natural, and it seems that he has not been on the Daily Prophet before

"Six points on the main screen, giving all the warriors a shot. Gore continued to command.

The effect of the delayed live broadcast appeared, and the main screen was divided into two rows, six screens, each of which had the head of a warrior on it, but apparently none of them were as relaxed as Mr. Bagman at this time, and they all looked solemn.

The scene shifts back to Mr. Bagman, who stands in the middle of the warriors and says, "Alright, now everyone is here - it's time to brief you on!"

He held up a purple silk bag in his hand and shook it at the warriors—the silk bag writhed.

"You pick out the little model of the thing you're going to be up against! They have different — um- kinds. I have one more thing to tell you...... Ah, right...... Your mission is to pick up golden eggs!"

Mr. Bagman's level of speech was noticeably low, and Mrs. Diggory had to explain the rules of the game to the camera.

After explaining the rules, the main screen began to take turns to give close-ups of the Warriors, with Krum and Harry spending a longer time, which Gore commanded, because these two were the most famous of the Warriors present, followed by Helen and Fleur, firstly because they were the only two girls in the Warriors, and secondly because they were beautiful and eye-catching.

After a few moments, the scene shifts back to Mr. Bagman. He opened the opening of the cloth bag and placed it on his chest.

"Let's start the lottery, ladies first. Then he noticed two female warriors on the scene, and then he glanced back and forth at the faces of the two girls, and finally handed the bag to Fleur Delacour.

Fleur reached out and reached into the cloth bag with some trembling tremors, and pulled out a small, delicate model of a dragon - it was a Welsh green dragon, with a number plate tied around its neck with two large letters written on it: number two, and below it was a row of small letters: made in the Nice atelier.

Gore turned his head to look at Field, who rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

On the main screen, Mrs. Diggory introduces: "Miss Fleur Delacour, as the first warrior of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, drew against the Welsh Green Dragon, and the order of appearance is second. ”

The scene shifts to Helen Hathaway, the big-eyed girl pulling out a model of a fire dragon with a pale face, but after the draw, she is visibly relieved.

"Miss Helen Hathaway, the second champion of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, drew the Peruvian Poison Fang, and she will be the fourth warrior to appear. ”

At this time, in front of the monitor, looking at Harry, who was obviously relieved in the monitor at position 4, Field also breathed a sigh of relief, and the worst sign Harry was not on the wheel.

The scene cuts back to Mr. Bagman, who turns the bag to the two warriors of Durmstrang.

Viktor Krum stepped forward, his grim face pulling out his model of the fire dragon, a bright red Chinese fireball. He will be the third to play.

Next up was Leo Polico, the hapless guy who made the first draw, but thankfully it was a Swedish short-nosed dragon.

In the main screen, Mr. Bagman looked at Cedric and Harry with a strange face, and said faintly: "The warriors of the two magic schools that are fighting away have been selected, and the next two Hogwarts warriors are next, and here I have to say that the luck of the two Hogwarts warriors is not good, and the next two little guys are not easy to deal with." ”

The scene pans to Cedric, who takes a deep breath before stepping up and reaching out to grab a pitch-black model of a dragon from the cloth bag.

"The Black Dragon of the Hirsidire Isles, unfortunately, this is a very difficult fire dragon to deal with, but Mr. Cedric, you are in fifth place, you can think about tactics before that. Mr. Bagman kindly reminded him.

At this point, the scene shifted to Harry, and his face turned pale again, apparently knowing what he was about to face.

"Well, Mr. Harry Potter, you're the last, find out for yourself. Mr. Bagman said.

Harry shuddered and reached into the sack, then shuddered—and immediately pulled his hand out again, as the blackened dragon gritted his teeth on his middle finger.

Mr. Bagman's face became solemn.

"The Hungarian Tree Bee, the last to appear, Mr. Harry Potter, take advantage of this time to think about how to deal with it. ”
