Ron was a far-sighted man, and he wouldn't give up an entire forest for a small tree.

Now, of course, the baguette that Louis handed him was a small tree, and the upcoming House feast was a whole lush forest.

He decided to be hungry a little longer.

As a result, the baguette was treasured by Vitaly.

"You are not allowed to treat food like this!" Vitaly snorted.

As a culinary powerhouse, Vitaly has always been more religious about the food that is representative of her country.

Finally, the sorting ceremony ended as the shouts of Kevin Whitby being sorted into Hufflepuff rang out. Professor McGonagall picked up the Sorting Hat and the small bench and carried them away.

"It's time to start!" Ron pulled himself together, with a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right, looking at the plate in front of him with an impatient look.

But it was clear that Dumbledore would not order a meal so easily - the new teacher for the new school year would not talk about it for the time being, and it would take a while to introduce the origins of the guests.

He stood up, looked at all his classmates with a smile, and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.

"I know you're all in a hurry, but I still want you to stop worrying." Dumbledore smiled and said, "There is still a lot to say before the meal is served—of course, I don't think it will be long." ”

"First of all, let's talk about ourselves - it's sad to announce that Professor R.J. Lupin has resigned from his position as Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts for some personal reasons." As he spoke, Dumbledore turned his head to look at Emma, who was playing with her hair in the faculty seat, and said in a loud voice, "Fortunately, there is an even better candidate, and that is our outstanding Hogwarts graduate, Lady Emma Mountbatten!" ”

Emma heard Dumbledore calling herself, and she stood up, smiling very gracefully and nodding at her classmates.

Seeing that the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was such a beautiful woman, the students were stunned for a moment and cheered in unison, after all, no one would not like that their teacher was a beautiful woman.

Slytherin, in particular, cheered even louder—they heard the new teacher's surname Mountbatten, and the so-called county magistrate was not as good as the current one, and the students shouted so hard to please Louis.

"Louis, our new teacher is also named Mountbatten, may I ask her ......?" Pansy asked hesitantly.

"My mother." Louis is not shy about acknowledging this fact.

Pansy was in awe, for being able to produce such a brilliant and excellent wizard as Louis, her mother must have been a great wizard too.

But...... Well, Emma didn't actually add anything to Louis's excellence, but then again, giving birth to Louis itself was the best training for him.

Even after Emma sat down, the auditorium reverberated with prolonged applause, which did not subside until Dumbledore pressed his hand. He added, "Also, Hogwarts will be renovating the library and will be expanding it, and the new director of the library is Miss Patchoulie Norregi!" ”

Pache rose weakly from her faculty seat and bowed. After seeing that the director of the new library was actually a beautiful girl, the cheers became even more energetic.

"As I said," Dumbledore continued, stopping the noise of his classmates, "over the next few months, we will have the great pleasure of hosting a wonderful event that has not been held in a century. I'm happy to tell you that Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. ”

"As you can see, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have arrived at Hogwarts, and of course, we'll wait until we've eaten to get into the details of Triwizard Tournament, and I think you can't wait to get ready for the meal, so ...... The party begins! ”

Finally, Professor Dumbledore's words fell, and as his deep voice fell, the students watched as the empty plates in front of them filled with hearty food in an instant.

Magic changes lives, Dumbothustra said.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's classmates seemed to have seen this kind of thing for the first time, staring at the food in front of them, looking a little glazed.

What's going on, who can explain why the Hogwarts classmates are so magical?

This is a new version of the ship that they have never experienced before.

The dishes are rich enough, unlike previous years, in order to welcome the guests, Dumbledore specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of Eastern European-style food, as for Beauxbatons's French food, there is no special kitchen preparation, after all, a lot of the usual food is French.

"I should say that I don't like fish soup." Louis looked at the French mixed fish soup in front of him, he didn't want to drink it at all, he didn't like to eat fish very much, and he was very sensitive to fishy smells, and today Dumbledore prepared three kinds of seafood soup in order to take care of the Beauxbatons.

I had the intention to call Aslo, but when I turned my head, I found that Aslo was flattering his mother, and the gratitude in his expression made Luis numb with goosebumps.

Forget it, forget it, it's a big deal not to drink the soup, Louis comforted himself.

Catherine, of course, knew that Louis didn't like fish soup, and after whispering a few words in Christasza's ear, the house-elf set a potato soup in front of Louis.

Louis looked happy as he patted Catherine on the thigh and reached out to pick up a cut baguette from the table. The baked and heated baguette was not used as a weapon as usual, but was fluffy, and he ate it with a potato soup, and it was full of satisfaction in one bite.

The main thing is that he is hungry, and he has had a meal since the morning, in fact, he is hungrier than Ron, but he just didn't say it.

The founders of Hogwarts were very visionary, and the welcome party for new students was undoubtedly a perfect event, and it was a very strange thing for students who had taken the train for most of the day to have little appetite on the train, and they might not be able to eat, and when they got off the train, they had to walk on the cold road for half a day, and they had to wait until they arrived at the Great Hall, and it was a very strange thing not to be hungry.

But the new force of this dry meal is obviously Durmstrang's classmates, the girls are okay and can maintain the graceful eating demeanor, and the boys are not so ...... Well, control yourself, Krum deserves to be Ron's idol, and even better than Ron in dry food, the classic reproduces the famous scene of the chicken leg rage.

"I knew Krum was definitely in love with me, you see." Ron said to Harry with a wink, and Harry glanced at him and nodded.

After the main course, Dumbledore beckoned again, and the sumptuous main course on the table was removed in favor of a dazzling array of desserts.

At the end of the feast, the dessert was also swept away, and when everyone had eaten and drunk, Dumbledore stood up again, he reached out and pressed down, and the buzzing of the hall suddenly disappeared, and only the sound of wind and rain outside could be heard.

"Alright," Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile, "now that we're all well fed and drunk, I must ask for everyone's attention again, and I'm going to make a few announcements." ”

"Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year, several more items are forbidden in the castle, they are screaming yoyos, toothed saucers, and combo boomerangs, the whole list of four hundred and thirty-seven items, which can be seen in Filch's office, and those who are interested can check them out."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at the Wesley Twins, who also faced him and made a helpless gesture in unison.

The two of them always had the feeling that Filch was targeting the two of them, but there was no evidence.

"As always, I'd like to remind everyone, especially the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students, that the Forbidden Forest is not accessible to students on the other side of the field, and that Hogsmeade Village is off-limits to all students under the age of 3 – and that this year there will be no more Quidditch House Cup matches, and instead there will be an old and big event, which is what I called the Triwizard Tournament before dinner."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening thunder rang out outside, followed by a silvery-white lightning bolt in the simulated sky above the auditorium.

Just then, the door of the Great Hall slammed open, and a man stood in the doorway, carrying a long cane and a black traveling cloak.

Once again, a bolt of lightning struck above the auditorium, illuminating the face of the visitor.

It's ugly, that's everyone's first impression, and the second impression is that it's so evil, more vicious than the Death Eaters. Of course, Louis also noticed the appearance of the person who came, how to say...... A bit like a butcher in a dota? That's probably how it feels.

ah…… fresh meat！

One of his eyes was normal, and the other was wearing an eyepatch like Captain One-Eyed Dragon, the difference being that instead of wearing an eyepatch, he was wearing a magical prosthetic eye, and the blue prosthetic eye kept turning, like ADHD, staring at the crowd in the auditorium.

It's Mad-Eyed Moody, after all, the image is too obvious, if Louis is not mistaken, I just don't know if it's Moody himself, or if he's been disguised by Barty Crouch Jr.

Moody walked over to Dumbledore, he held out a hand as scarred as his face and shook Dumbledore's hand, whispered to him, and sat down beside him at Dumbledore's signal.

Moody was not polite, sat down, dragged the plate of sausages in front of Dumbledore, and then took out a shiny knife from his arms, forked it on the sausage, and began to feast on it, while his prosthetic eyes were not idle, dripping and spinning, as if looking at the staff beside him, and the guests of the other two schools.

"Allow me to introduce this tried-and-true warrior," Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Alastor Moody, he is an Auror who has fought the Dark Wizard all his life, and of course, you can see the mottled battle scars on his body......"

Good guys, Moody (Star) is scarred, isn't it?

"I am pleased to inform you that in the new year, Mr. Moody will be in charge of the security of our Triwizard Tournament."

As he spoke, Dumbledore was the first to slap his face, and Hagrid responded to his movements—but it was only these two men, the applause was lonely and sounding awkward, and the others were stunned by Moody's strange appearance, staring at him intently.

Louis applauded with Dumbledore very cooperatively, and after seeing Louis's movements, the entire Slytherin House began to applaud, which also led to several other houses, and the auditorium was lively again for a while.

Moody looked at everyone in surprise, he didn't seem to expect to be so popular at Hogwarts - with his dignity in prison, it would be nice not to scare children into tears, when had he ever been so welcome?

He reached into his travel cloak, pulled out a curved wine bottle, took a big sip, and burped with a blushing face.

"Maybe some of you don't know what Triwizard Tournament is, so may I tell you about it." Dumbledore said with a smile, "The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago, and is a friendly competition between the three largest schools of magic and wizardry in Europe, namely Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrand, where each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete against each other for three magical disciplines - the Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting. ”

"It was agreed that it was a great way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships, but then, the death toll was so high that the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."

"Over the centuries, there have been several attempts to revive the Triwizard Tournament, but none of them have been successful." Dumbledore continued, "But our Department of International Magical Cooperation and Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic believe that the time is ripe for another attempt, and we have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that none of our warriors are in danger of their lives. ”

Hearing this, Louis pursed his lips and secretly complained in his heart, then can you explain why Cedric suddenly died?

"And today, the Headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have come to Hogwarts with their carefully selected contenders, and the ceremony to select the Warriors will take place the day after the Halloween party, and an impartial referee will decide which students will qualify for the Triwizard Cup and win honor for their school, and he himself will receive a prize of 50,000 Galleons!"

Speaking of which, Karkaroff and Madame Maxime looked at Dumbledore in unison, both wondering why Dumbledore, who had always been picky at ropes, had suddenly become so generous.

The old Hogwarts students were fine, they had long been numbed by Louis's sugar-coated cannonballs, while the freshmen and the other two school students were not so settled, they were short of breath and their ears were full of the fifty thousand Galleons, even Victor Krum.
