Chapter 246: The Goblet of Fire's Choice
Anyone could tell that Crouch was unfriendly to Brie, and Crouch obviously didn't care about the angry stare that slammed at him, and he sat in his seat like an old monk, staring at Brie as if he was thinking about Brie's mistakes, in order to increase his prestige.
Brie looked at Crouch, slightly upset, he hadn't provoked this gentleman.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
"Peeves, ah......" Jumping through the pumpkins, scaring Ariana only felt like he had been grabbed by a big hand and thrown off the ceiling, and slammed into Crouch.
"Bang!" Peeves fell like a cloud of blue mud, and the expression of horror had only existed on Peeves' face for a second, when a bright splash of water exploded on Crouch's body, and the cold touch made Crouch shiver fiercely.
"You!" Crouch raised his wet hand and pointed at Brie, but was met with Brie's puzzled gaze.
"Barty, I think you should deal with it first." Dumbledore cast a drying spell on Crouch, but it didn't calm Crouch's face in the slightest.
"Hmph." Moody on the side sneered, and the people around him also looked strangely at Crouch, who was solemn and would not lose his proportions.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Karkaroff asked Mrs. Maxim in a whisper.
Madame Maxim knew a little bit about who made her a fan of Brie's books, and she was angry, but she still maintained the calm that a headmaster should have.
"This should be the arrangement of the Ministry of Magic for Crouch, who told the British Minister of Magic to be careful."
Karkaroff seems to understand that this may be the Ministry of Magic's crackdown on the now famous Brie Odeh.
He smiled, and with a flicker in his eyes, he stopped talking about it, and turned to look at the rare joke.
"Whew!" Crouch took a deep breath and sat down angrily, no longer looking at Brie.
This disappointed some and made many indignant.
Seeing this, Dumbledore stood up, and he motioned to Professor McGonagall, who immediately magically brought a delicate chest from the side.
The box was placed in the middle of the teacher's bench, held up by a tall wooden table.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the chest shattered into many runes as if it had disintegrated, revealing a trophy encrusted with gems, and those runes were arranged in a large circle on the ground under Dumbledore's control.
"It's the age limit!" Dumbledore said in a loud voice, quieting the little wizard below who was excited by the appearance of the trophy, and most of the professors in the faculty seat sat up straight and listened to Dumbledore explain the rules.
"Only those who are at least seventeen years old can cross the line, write their names on paper, throw themselves into the Goblet of Fire, and fight for their school after being recognized by the Goblet of Fire!"
Dumbledore snapped his finger, and the trophy instantly burst into flames.
"Oh, damn the age boundary!" Some of the young wizards were disgruntled, but Durmstrang and Beauxbatons didn't have this problem, as they were all qualified students, which was probably the only benefit of coming to Hogwarts.
Soon, the feast is over, an imperfect Halloween, but also because of the imperfection is being talked about, some anxious guys have put their names into it, and Dumbledore will reveal the three warriors who will go to war tomorrow night.
"Brie, are you done with your Transfiguration paper?" Walking on his way to the kitchen, Draco asked Bridau.
ββ¦ I don't have a thesis. This was Dumbledore's arrangement, and the rest of the professors acquiesced.
"Oh, damn it......" Draco said sullenly, but when he reached the kitchen, he looked at the house-elves with happy faces making them supper, Draco scoffed, "Look, if Granger really gave them freedom, then who would make you supper, you won't have enough to eat at the feast." β
Draco laughed.
"Draco, I can get the flower elves to cook for me, which I actually did when I was reading a book in the Corner Tower." Brie tapped Draco's platinum head to make the guy converge.
Speaking of the flower elves, Draco snorted twice.
"I'll go back first, I still have a paper to write."
β¦β¦
"Found it." Draco rummaged through the dorm room for Brie's belongings, and soon found a paper on the shelf, which was signed by Brie.
"Tear..."
β¦β¦
In the middle of the night, Hogwarts is so quiet that even the cold wind blowing through the corridor can break the silence, but the accustomed portraits are sleeping deeply, and as portraits, they also need to rest and absorb magic to keep them alive.
So much so that when a figure passed through the corridor and came to the auditorium hall, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
A note slowly fell into the Goblet of Fire, and as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps coming from behind him.
"Whew, look at my illusion charm." Draco proudly lifted the illusion spell, then took out a magical snake necklace from his pocket, the necklace suddenly turned into a long snake, and as it landed, it arched its long body, breaking the age limit, and opening a door for Draco, who was not yet seventeen.
Draco stood on tiptoe, tossed the note into the Goblet of Fire, and hurriedly picked up the half-worn snake necklace and left in distress.
"Malfoy?"
Moody, who saw Draco's displeasure, sneered, but before he could finish laughing, his expression froze on his face.
"Boom!" The Goblet of Fire boiled with joy, and the spark kept bouncing and roaring, like a puppy seeing its homecoming master.
Seeing this, Moody hurriedly set up a barrier to prevent the disappearance from attracting others.
"That's?" Moody saw the Goblet of Fire holding up the note that Draco had just thrown in with his tongue of fire, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly snatched the note from the Goblet of Fire, and the Goblet of Fire, which suddenly lost the note, roared like a volcanic eruption, and the flames rushed towards Moody, Moody hurriedly raised his wand and used a powerful Ignore Charm to force the Goblet of Fire to forget Brie's name.
It took a long time for the Goblet of Fire to stop struggling.
"Brie Ode..."
Moody looked at the delicate, slightly childish font on the note and frowned slightly, he didn't think that Brie would want to come to the competition, maybe it was Draco's own initiative.
"You don't need this naΓ―ve proof." Rubbing the note, Moody's eyes showed a hint of struggle.
"If your name appears in the Goblet of Fire, isn't it, everything will change..."
Moody's slightly frantic face slowly calmed down, and he put the note in his pocket, name, it's better not to throw it around.
The next day, the Wesley twins handed Brie a bottle of potion, and their actions explained what the potion does.
"Bang... Bang! β
George and Fred fell to the ground, and soon their faces were covered with white beards, gray hair, and wrinkles, and they were two little old men.
"You must have put more slug tentacles!" Fred punched George in dissatisfaction, and George was merciless, shouting loudly that it was the other party who added the waist of the fire crab, and began to fight back.
The bustle of the Wesley twins made everyone laugh, and for a moment the hall of the auditorium was filled with cheerful voices.
Cedric, who was standing next to Brie, looked at Brie and put away the potion, and said with some regret, "I thought I could see you old in advance, Brie." β
"Go to your game, Cedric, I think you'll be a Warrior." Brie nudges Cedric, who calmly steps into the age line and tosses the note with his name written on it, causing the Goblet of Fire to flash a spark.
Soon, when night came, Dumbledore appeared, with Karkaroff and Lady Maxim standing next to him, while Crouch and Mr. Bagman stood on the other side as notaries.
"So let's get started, the chosen Warriors will sign a contract with the Goblet of Fire to compete in this unrivaled Triwizard Tournament in the name of the school." Dumbledore began to say something as was customary, and then began to spit out the Goblet of Fire out the warriors it recognized.
Soon, the Goblet of Fire trembled......
"Victor Krum!"
"Oh!" The wizard from Durmstrang let out a jubilant voice and pushed Krum out.
"Ask the warriors to stand behind." Dumbledore smiled, and then announced the second Champion.
"Fleur Delacour!"
"Wow!" Fleur smiled like a flower and walked up gracefully with a smile.
And then there is-
"Cedric. Diggory! β
"Diggory!" The young wizards of Hogwarts shouted loudly, and as the head of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout smiled and nodded, looking at Cedric proudly.
"What?" Only Draco muttered in confusion, he didn't believe Cedric could get past Brie, even though Cedric was seventeen years old.
Just when everyone thought it was over, suddenly the Goblet of Fire shook again, and such an anomaly attracted everyone's attention, and the professors all frowned.
It stands to reason that there are only three warriors in the Triwizard Tournament.
"The fourth warrior?" Some of the little wizards couldn't believe it.
Dumbledore took the note from the Goblet of Fire and muttered, "Harry Potter? β
"Harry Potter!"
Everyone's eyes flocked to Harry, who was confused.
"No, Potter must have cheated, obviously...... Obviously ......"
Draco rushed out and pointed at Harry, "How could it be Potter, it should be Brie!" β
"Ahh
"What happened?" The people present looked left and right, and could not tell the difference between the situation.
"Make it clear, Malfoy." Snape stepped forward, his anger suppressed in a low tone, waiting for Draco's explanation.
"I threw Brie's name in it!" Draco didn't hide it, he said, "Anyway, there was no seventeen rule in previous Triwizard Tournaments, did it!" β
"There's no one better suited to be a warrior than Brie!"
The wizards of Hogwarts understood that no one could compare to Brie, and one by one they looked at Harry with suspicion, making him almost unstable.
"I... I didn't have ......"
Unfortunately, Harry's words were useless, it was a foregone conclusion, and being spit out by the Goblet of Fire was the result.
Harry looked at Ron, who was also suspicious in his eyes beside him, his heart was cold, and Hermione's face was also suspicious, he swept around, and the questioning people were reflected in his eyes......
Harry's hole trembled slightly, as if he had fallen into darkness.
Harry didn't look at the teacher's seat, he thought it was going to be a safe year, Dumbledore wouldn't make arrangements for him, nothing happened to him, but it seemed that nothing had changed.
