Chapter 395: Goblet of Fire

"The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have organized the Triwizard Tournament together, and of course they will not be absent on such an important occasion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Hermione looked like she knew this, and said lightly, "I guess they're going to provide some security for the Triwizard Tournament." It's not like a major event like this will be carried out without preparing for anything. ”

As they spoke, more dishes appeared on the table, many special desserts, which they had never seen before, and which also looked foreign.

Ron carefully pushed the foreign dishes to the edge of the table so that the people at the Ravenclaw table could see them, and maybe she would like them. But it's a pity that the girl who looks like a beautiful baby seems to have eaten enough, and she didn't come here again.

When the classmates have feasted on their mouths and can't eat anymore. The golden-silver plate was magically cleansed and vanished.

Dumbledore stood up, and everyone looked at him nervously, and an atmosphere of excitement and tension spread through the Great Hall, finally coming.

Everyone is excitedly waiting for the next changes.

"It's time, what everyone has been waiting for. Dumbledore smiled and said, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, first of all, I need to explain some of the rules to everyone, bring the box in--"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the "box" while speculating, this is one of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament?

He continued, "Next, I will explain the flow of this year's event. Of course, we first need to welcome our two important guests, who may not yet know them. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic. ”

The sparse applause in the auditorium may be because the name of the department is inaudible, or maybe everyone's mind is waiting to get to the point quickly.

Dumbledore pointed to another guest and said, "This is the Director of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Ludo Bagman. ”

The applause was louder than just now, because he was smiling happily at everyone, waving at everyone, and smiling always brought people closer.

Dumbledore continued, "Over the past few months, Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have been working the Triwizard Tournament and arranging important matters. ”

"Now, together with me, Madame Maxim, and Professor Karkaroff, they will form a panel of judges. Together, we will judge the efforts of the Warriors. ”

Dumbledore gestured to the members of the jury again.

The students are already getting excited, they hear the word "warrior", and the next step is how to become a "warrior".

Dumbledore waited until the students had quieted down and said, "Please bring the box, Mr. Filch." ”

Unnoticed, Filch had been lurking in a corner of the Great Hall until Dumbledore spoke. He immediately walked towards Dumbledore, holding a wooden box encrusted with gems in his hand.

The box is large and looks a little quaint and old.

The students all stared straight at the big wooden box, trying to see through the box. They were talking, speculating about what was in the box, maybe a magic prop.

"This year, the Warriors' program has been rigorously vetted by Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch. ”

At this time, Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of Dumbledore.

"They made the necessary arrangements for each project. The competition, consisting of three events, was held at different times throughout the school year. These projects will comprehensively test the talents of the warriors.... Not only will they test their talents in magic.... It will also test their reasoning skills as well as their courage .... And, of course, their ability to overcome crises. ”

The Great Hall had fallen completely silent, and everyone listened intently as Dumbledore explained the rules. The foreign students also held their breath, afraid of missing any details.

"As you already know, there will be three warriors in this tournament. ”

Dumbledore said calmly, "Each of them will represent a participating school, and we will give them a rating based on their completion of each event. At the end of all three events, the warrior with the highest total score will win the Triwizard Tournament. ”

"Now, it's an impartial selector who selects the warriors for the competition, and it's the Goblet of Fire. ”

Dumbledore said, tapping his wand three times on the wooden box in front of the table. The lid of the box creaked open. Dumbledore pulled out a large wooden goblet from the box.

The contents of the wooden box are completely different from what everyone imagines, the cup is not eye-catching, not luxurious at all, and even a little rough, it is made of rough carved wood.

The only thing that stands out from the rest is the blue-white flame dancing in the cup.

Dumbledore closed the box and placed the wooden goblet on top of the box so that everyone in the Great Hall could see the cup clearly.

"Students who want to run for the Warriors need to write their names along with the name of their school on a piece of parchment and throw them into this Goblet of Fire. ”

Dumbledore pointed to the Goblet of Fire and said, "Students who wish to become warriors can sign up within twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night, the night of Halloween, the Goblet of Fire will select the three Warriors who best represent the three houses. ”

"Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the foyer and accessible to all students who wish to run. ”

Dumbledore continued, "The age requirement to sign up is over 17 years old, and in order to prevent students from being tempted, I will draw an age line around the goblet so that students under the age of seventeen cannot cross this dividing line. ”

"Finally, I have to remind everyone who wants to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. This game is not child's play, and decisions should not be made lightly. Once the name of the Goblet of Fire is chosen, he must finish the match. ”

"The name that is thrown into the Goblet of Fire will form a special contract that must be observed. The selected name cannot be changed again. So be sure to think twice. Only those who are single-minded about participating in the tournament will be able to throw their name into the Goblet of Fire. ”

"Finally, it's time for everyone to go to bed, and I wish you all the best night. ”

"The age cut-off!" Fred suddenly became excited, his eyes shining, "That's great, I knew there would be a way." All you need is a few drops of age-boosters, and that's not that hard. Just put the name in the cup and no one can change their mind, that's exactly what we need. ”

He and Joe couldn't help but give each other a high-five.

As the dinner ended, the students began to leave the auditorium and walk towards their dormitories through the doors on either side of the foyer.
