350. The Secret of the Goblet of Fire 2

In the auditorium, there was a lot of buzz from the moment Harry walked up the stairs, and all the students began to talk. Then they saw that on the podium, all the referees and professors began to argue.

During the argument, Ludo Bagman, Director of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic, turned and walked up the stairs first, followed by the rest of the jury and two Hogwarts professors (Professor Dumbledore walked first, followed by Mr. Crouch, Professor Karkaroff, Lady Maxime, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape). Walking at the end were Mrs. Diggory and photographer Gore.

"Hey, Field, how did you say Harry Potter did it?" Ernie asked Field's side.

Ernie asked almost all of the badgers' questions, and everyone looked at Field in unison. Everyone knows that if there is anyone in Hufflepuff who can answer this question, then this person's last name must be Diggory. Now one of Diggory has been drafted to be a Warrior, and the other is just around the corner.

Field looked around, and the Hufflepuff badgers surrounded him in three layers inside and three outside, and he pouted and asked Ernie, "How?" Ernie, what the hell do you want to ask?"

"Please, of course, I asked Harry Potter how he got his name into the Goblet of Fire, and how did the Goblet of Fire choose him?" said Ernie angrily.

"Can't you just ask two questions, Ernie?" said Field, teasingly, but seeing that everyone was staring at him hatefully, he had to continue.

"Okay, let's talk about how to put the name in first. Field paused for a moment, and everyone pricked up their ears, "Actually, it's not difficult to sign up, just find someone over 17 years old to help you." ”

"It's as simple as that, but what age line?" said Ernie, with a look of incredulity.

"The age line was drawn by Dumbledore, just to prevent wizards who are not old from crossing over, and it does not tell if the wizard with the name written on the parchment is over 17 years old. The Goblet of Fire itself does not prohibit wizards under the age of 17 from signing up, if you check the information of the Triwizard Tournament carefully, you will know that there is no age limit for previous tournaments. Field explained.

"Oh, it's that simple, why didn't I think of having someone sign up?" exclaimed a sixth-year Hufflepuff with his face covered.

"Okay, the registration problem is solved, but that doesn't explain why the Goblet of Fire chose Harry Potter, isn't there only three places in the Triwizard Tournament?" said a Ravenclaw, and Field noticed that many students from other houses had squeezed into Hufflepuff's circle at this time.

Field glanced at him, and then saw a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, Ron and Hermione, the Weasley brothers, Ginny and Luna, Zhang Qiu, Neville, so he took a piece of parchment from his pocket, and with a little wand, a goblet of fire appeared on the parchment.

"It's hard to explain, the Goblet of Fire is a powerful and sophisticated magic item, it is lit every five years, the time is 24 hours, the applicant can sign up by putting in the parchment with the name and the school written on it, and then the Goblet of Fire will select the strongest of the applicants in each school according to the comprehensive strength of the applicant to become a Warrior, and automatically form a magic contract, requiring the Warrior to complete all items. “

"Theoretically, you can't make a mistake with the Goblet of Fire, and it must have chosen the strongest of the three school applicants. ”

"Then why was Harry chosen? isn't there only one spot in each school?" asked Hermione, who was pulling Ron in her arms right now.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the Confusion Charm. Field frowned.

"However, even if the Goblet of Fire was caught in the Confusion Charm and gave Hogwarts two places, then Harry should not be chosen, there are many wizards at Hogwarts who are better than him. Hermione said.

The others nodded in agreement, then looked at Field in unison.

Field's chin propped up, explaining, "It's true that the Goblet of Fire is a powerful magic item, and it is not something that the Confusion Charm can do to get it to add a place to a school. ”

"And you're still swearing that it's a Confusion Charm?" Malfoy's voice came from the crowd, and he squeezed in at some point.

Field glanced at him in disgust, but didn't bother him:

So, instead of trying to make the Goblet of Fire add a place to Hogwarts, the Confusion Charm made the Goblet think that Harry was a student at the fourth school and the only one to sign up. ”

"No way, as you said, there are only three schools participating in the Triwizard Tournament, and the Goblet of Fire is a magical item that the Confusion Charm doesn't work on it at all. Malfoy retorted menacingly.

Field looked at him with a sneer on his face and said faintly, "Malfoy, it seems that not only have your brains eaten up by slugs, but you also have problems with your ears. ”

"It's true that there are only three schools participating in the Triwizard Tournament, but the Goblet of Fire wasn't designed to have only three school slots when it was originally designed. Originally, this event was originally created to allow young wizards from all over the world to establish friendship, and the founder of this event originally wanted to invite all magic schools in the world to participate, but at first only three magic schools in Europe confirmed their participation, hence the name Triwizard Tournament. However, when the Goblet of Fire was designed and made, there were actually 13 places in the academy. So it's impossible to get the Goblet of Fire to add a place to one of the schools with the Confusion Charm, but if Harry's name is reported as a student of the fourth school, then it only needs the caster's Confusion Charm to be strong enough, which is not impossible. ”

Malfoy's face flushed and his breath was a little short.

"You're talking nonsense, how did you know the secret of the Goblet of Fire?"

Field gave Malfoy a disdainful look, and was about to speak, when he heard Dumbledore's voice coming.

"Mr. Field Diggory, please come with us. ”

The students looked up in a circle, and it was only then that they noticed that two officials from the Ministry of Magic, the three principals of the School of Magic, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Moody, and the people from Magic Television were watching them from the outside of the circle, apparently having just heard Field's remarks.

The crowd moved out of the way and watched as Field followed the judges up the stairs.
