Chapter 154: Fairness

Xu was due to his height, and when Ike walked into the room, Krum and Fleur didn't see any difference, just nodded as a greeting.

But when Harry came in, it was different.

"What's the matter, do you want us to go back to the auditorium?" Fleur asked, puzzled.

Harry didn't know what to say, so he looked at Ike with a pleading look, but Ike just shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.

To be honest, he was also confused now, and the only thing that was certain was that he didn't throw the parchment himself.

And who gave him his name?

Just then, the door opened again, and Ludo walked into the room and grabbed Harry's arm. I tried to catch Ike, but I was dodged.

"It's so bizarre, it's really bizarre!"

"Allow me to introduce you, this is the fourth Champion of the Triwizard Tournament - Harry Potter!"

"Are you kidding, Mr. Bagman?" Fleur asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, the Goblet of Fire did spit out his name, so according to the contract, he had to be involved." Ludo said.

"But...... He's too small. Fleur glanced at Harry's height and said.

Before Harry could speak, Dumbledore, Lady Maxime, Karkaroff and Crouch Sr., along with the professors, walked in.

"Two warriors? I need an explanation, Dumbledore. Madame Maxim looked at Ike and Harry and said haughtily.

"That's right." Karkaroff chimed in, "I don't remember that in the charter there was a provision that the organizers could have two warriors. ”

Dumbledore didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Ike and Harry.

"Did you throw your name into the Goblet of Fire?"

"Wait, you guys?" Karkaroff interrupted directly, pointed at Ike and asked, "He has a problem too?" ”

"In fact, both Stride and Porter are fourth-graders." Snape said coldly.

"Are you kidding, Dumbledore?" Lady Maxime's eyes widened, "Perhaps it was a mistake to choose Hogwarts as the host of the Triwizard Tournament in the first place, at least not in Beauxbatons."

Dumbledore raised his hand, not answering Lady Maxim's question, still staring at Ike and Harry.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"I didn't."

"Nope."

"So, did you ask your senior classmates to help you put your name in?"

"Nope."

"Nope."

"You're lying!" Madame Maxim shouted excitedly.

"They can't ...... There's no way Potter could have crossed that age line......"

"What about him? The...... What about Mr. Stredder? Madame Maxime asked, seizing on the loophole in Professor McGonagall's words.

"This ......," Professor McGonagall was speechless for a moment, and Dumbledore continued, "I have to admit that if it were Mr. Stred, he would have crossed the age line I had set. ”

"But, as he just said, he didn't."

Before Mrs. Maxim could say anything, Karkaroff looked at Crouch and Ludo and said, "Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman, you two are the only two judges who can look at this matter objectively, and you must also think that this matter is very inappropriate." ”

Old Crouch and Ludo looked at each other and were silent for a moment before saying, "It has been written in the charter that as long as the name of the Goblet of Fire is spewed, you must participate in the tournament. ”

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy Lady Maxim and Karkaroff, and they confronted Dumbledore again.

"Please come in!"

Just when everyone was arguing, there was a knock on the door, and when everyone saw the comer, they were all confused.

"What's the matter, Mr. Diggory?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at Cedric, who was a little confused.

"Professors, I'm here to make one thing clear, about Ike Stredder being chosen as a Hogwarts Warrior by ......the Goblet of Fire," Cedric glanced at Ike and turned to Dumbledore and said, "Stred's name was cast by me." ”

"Do you know what you're talking about, Diggory?" Professor McGonagall immediately asked solemnly.

"May I ask you why you did this, Mr. Diggory." Dumbledore pushed his glasses, "From what I know so far, you don't seem to have a reason to make this decision for Mr. Strade. ”

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Cedric bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and explained confidently, "I am very confident, and if it weren't for Stred, I would have been the only one who could have become a Hogwarts Warrior." ”

"But that's not fair, a wizard as good as Stride shouldn't be blocked from the tournament by an age line."

"So, for the sake of 'fairness', you chose to throw Stred's name into the Goblet of Fire as well, just to know who the real Hogwarts Warriors are?"

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

"Alright, I see, thank you for the explanation, Mr. Diggory, you can leave." Dumbledore nodded, "I think the students in the Great Hall need to hear that too. ”

Seeing that Cedric was about to leave, Karkaroff stopped him directly.

"Wait, Dumbledore, he hasn't said anything about Potter yet?"

"Potter?" Cedric looked at Harry, who seemed to be expecting something, and shook his head, "I didn't put his name in it. ”

After saying that, he went out.

"I think Durmstrang may be pulling out of the Triwizard Tournament." "We're not going to go into an unfair tournament. ”

"Professor Karkaroff, the warrior chosen by the Goblet of Fire, must participate in the tournament." Crouch Sr. said slowly, "This is bound by the power of the contract. ”

"I know, Mr. Crouch!" Karkaroff glared at Crouch Sr., then at Dumbledore and said, "Anyway, we need an explanation, not a ...... like the one just now."

"Fair? Like see who are the real Hogwarts Warriors? ”

"Oh my God, that's ridiculous!"

"Mr. Diggory is telling the truth." Dumbledore said, "If there is no age limit, Mr. Strade is indeed the only candidate for a Hogwarts Warrior." ”

"A fourth-grader? Hum! Karkaroff snorted coldly, a hint of mockery on his face.

"The best? Did he do something that no one else could do? ”

"He put me in the hospital, is that enough, Karkaroff!"

The door was pushed open violently, and Moody, on his crutches, walked quickly in front of Karkaroff, causing Karkaroff to take two steps back in fright.

Moody was aggressive, and the magic eye rarely didn't move, just stared at Karkaroff deadly.

"The whole of Hogwarts knows about it, and I think that's already indicative." Moody said viciously, "This is the ...... you and your lord used to be."

"Enough, Alasto!" Dumbledore interrupted Moody, looked at Karkaroff and said, "How this situation came about, we don't know. ”

"But now that Ike and Harry have been chosen, they must ......"

"But, Dumbledore......"

"Madame Maxim, do you have any other solution?"

Seeing that there was no one to refute anymore, Dumbledore said to the old Crouch on the side, "Mr. Crouch, I think the warriors can start their first instruction......"
