Chapter 255: Catherine's Loss

Louis is a little bastard, he knows it himself.

If you don't change it repeatedly, it's a hippie smile every time, but next time you do it, Catherine is so angry that she won't change it.

Louis, who had eaten, was idle and had nothing to do, and followed the trio to see Hagrid.

His fried tail snails are indeed growing very well, and he burns his hands mercilessly.

Speaking of which, it's pretty big now, almost the size of a calf.

Maybe only Hagrid could raise this thing to grow so savagely.

It's a shame not to raise pigs, but then again, Hagrid isn't short of gold gallons, and with his talent for breeding fantastic beasts, Snape has to ask him for anything.

Wholesale eight-eyed giant spider venom is also the only one he can do, only this one has no other semicolon.

Outside Hagrid's cabin, he also saw Madame Maxim, and Hagrid looked at Madame Maxim like Harry looked at Zhang Qiu and Ron at Fleur, as if some magnet was attracting, and the pair of black beetle-like eyes were full of admiration.

Spring is here, and Hagrid's hut is filled with hormones......

Ahem, it's far away.

Louis's good sister also plans to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, but the strict age limit puts her off.

Yin Lizabeth clenched her fists indignantly and said that she must participate in this competition when she is in seventh grade!

Yes, five years later, she'll be in seventh grade and will be in time for the next Triwizard Tournament – if it still goes ahead as scheduled.

Louis grabbed Hagrid and the trio of Ron had been playing cards in the hut for a day, the kind of sticker notes, and by the time they came out of Hagrid's hut, it was already dark.

Something was wrong, Louis muttered in his heart, tightening his robe, the autumn wind was still a little steeper, and it was a little cold on his body.

"Cold?" Catherine snapped her fingers lightly, and a small blue flame rose from her fingertips, dispelling the chill from Louis's body.

One of the applications of Lihuo should be regarded as a new function developed under the guidance of Louis - heating.

As the name suggests, it dispels the cold around you.

Louis had always wondered why Catherine could snap her fingers with her gloves on, he had tried so many times with Catherine's gloves that the gloves were so slippery that they couldn't form any friction at all, let alone make a sound.

It was dinner time, and after dinner, the warriors would be announced, and the group went to the candlelit auditorium to sit down, which was full of people, all for dinner or to watch the excitement.

The Goblet of Fire had been relocated, and it was on the faculty desk, above the one that belonged to Dumbledore. Fred and George have reverted to their original ways, and looking at their joy, it is clear that they have accepted their defeat.

The twins have always been very open-minded, and if they can go, they will go and pull them down if they can't.

"Oh, I wish it was Angelina." Fred said in a casual tone, then felt a little cold on his back, and looked back to see Catherine, who was sitting next to Louis, who was now ordering food on the card with an eyebrow raised.

"Me too!" Hermione had almost held her breath at this point, "Well, no hurry, we'll find out soon." ”

"You can do it too, honorable Miss Worray." Fred changed his tune quickly, and the quick recognition was one of the few strengths of the Gemini.

Catherine waved her hand noncommittally and did not say anything.

Hermione also spotted Catherine after Fred said this, and she tried to explain with some embarrassment, "Well, Catherine, I hope you'll be chosen, too." ”

"I'd be glad if you could say the same behind my back, Miss Beaver." Catherine tapped the card twice on the table, and it disappeared with a whoosh.

Hermione immediately stopped talking, and turned her head to order food for herself, trying to turn herself into a little transparent so that Catherine would forget about herself.

The phrase "Miss Beaver" reminded her of the fear of being dominated by Catherine's upside-down Admiralty for a long time.

Since Catherine established Louis as a professor, she has no longer been as cold to her classmates as she used to be, and Hermione has forgotten what a terrible woman Catherine was in the first place.

How did that come about? It's the harmonious society that saved you...... If it weren't for Louis, Miss Beaver's grave would have been five feet tall.

The whole dinner seemed to be very long, and everyone seemed to be careless about the dishes in front of them, even though the banquet was more sumptuous than ever. The people in the Great Hall kept looking at each of their faces, and everyone seemed restless, and from time to time they stood up and looked in Dumbledore's direction to see if he had finished eating, so that they could announce the triwizard tournament.

Finally, in anticipation, the dinner party came to an end, and after the students had nothing to attract their attention, the noisy hum resumed, even much higher than just now.

Dumbledore stood up, and the classmates who noticed his movements stopped talking to each other as if they had made an appointment, and the whole hall fell silent for a moment.

Karkaroff and Lady Maxim on either side of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else. Ludo Bagman was smiling and winking at the students of the various schools, while Mr. Lovegood had a calm expression, his eyes staring at his daughter Arco, and his eyes were full of doting, and he looked like a daughter slave through and through.

"Well, I know you all can't wait, now that twenty-four hours have passed, our Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision," Dumbledore said, "I guess it'll take another minute—listen, after the names of the Warriors are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the Great Hall, walk down the staff desk, and into the next room." ”

He pointed to the door behind the faculty member's desk, "where they will get some initial instruction." ”

With that, Headmaster Dumbledore pulled out his wand and waved it sharply. With his movements, all the candles except the ones in the jack-o-lantern were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of half-light and half-darkness. The Goblet of Fire now emitted a dazzling and brilliant light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames danced like Mio Akiyama's.

Everyone watched and waited with full attention, and a few people who couldn't wait kept looking at their watches.

"It's coming." Lee Jordan whispered that he was not far away from Louis, and that Louis could clearly hear his whispering cooing.

The flames in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks scattered in all directions. Then, a tongue of fire burst into the air, and from inside flew a charred parchment—everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore took the piece of parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words in the light of the flame, and at the same time, the flame returned to blue and white.

"Durmstrang's warriors," he said in a sonorous tone, "it's Victor Klum!" ”

"—not surprising at all!" Ron exclaimed, as a big Victor fan, he didn't shy away from his passion.

Immediately afterward, applause and cheers swept through the Great Hall, after all, he was the big star of the Quidditch arena, and Wickdor had a high reputation among his classmates at Hogwarts.

Victor stood up, a prisoner's hairstyle that did not hide the essence of his popularity, he strode towards Dumbledore, walked in front of him, and shook hands with the three headmasters in turn, and Karkaroff obviously valued the student, and he spoke excitedly for a long time before Victor followed the staff's desk through the door that Dumbledore had pointed to into the next room.

"Great! Wickdore! Karkaroff shouted loudly in a loud voice, for fear that the whole auditorium would not hear him, "I knew you were destined to be a warrior, come on!" ”

The applause and cheers continued until the Goblet of Fire turned from blue to red again.

With a sudden, the tongue of fire spat out a letter and spit out a piece of parchment from the scorched lake.

"The warriors of Beauxbatons—" Dumbledore lengthened his voice, "It's Fleur Delacul!" ”

Fleur rose from Catherine's side, flicking her silver hair, and walked lightly and vigorously past between the Slytherins and Gryffindor tables.

"Look, they're all disappointed." Hermione said in a somewhat complicated tone in the midst of the uproar, in fact, her "disappointment" was used incorrectly, and there were two girls who were not selected at this time, and one of them was already in tears with rain, and even one of them fainted from crying.

"It's pathetic." Harry whispered that he had never seen the most beautiful young lady crying.

Louis could feel that his hand was a little painful, it was Catherine who was holding him, and from the strength of it, he could feel that Catherine's mood was not very calm at this time.

When Fleur entered the next room, the Great Hall fell silent again, and the excitement that surged in the silence could be felt by fools - the first two were Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, and it was obvious that the third was definitely Hogwarts Warriors.

At this point, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, tongues of fire almost licked the ceiling, and Dumbledore was very quick to remove the fluttering parchment from his head.

"The warriors of Hogwarts—" Dumbledore shouted, and Louis's hand hurt even more.

He turned his head to see Catherine staring at Dumbledore for a moment, her eyes full of anticipation and longing.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Cedric Diggory!" ”

"Oops!" Ron shouted, subconsciously looking behind him.

Catherine still stared at Dumbledore in a daze, without the slightest movement, not even the strength of her grip on Louis's hand. After a few moments, she turned her head and looked at the table with a calm expression, but Louis could clearly feel his girlfriend's sadness and sadness at this time.

He didn't say anything, and reached out to caress Catherine's back.

But all the students in the auditorium except Slytherin were jumping up and down, screaming, cheering, and stomping their feet, and Louis sighed and waved at the Slytherin classmates, and everyone began to cheer for Cedric.

There should still be a pattern, Hogwarts can't engage in fighting, and peace must be precious.

Cedric stood up, and the big boy walked forward with a smile on his face, shook hands with the three principals, and walked towards the room behind the staff's desks.

After all, it was Hogwarts' home stadium, and it took a long time for the cheers for Cedric to subside.

"Little Moon......" Louis whispered Catherine's name, stroking her head with his hand.

Catherine smiled lightly and pretended to be relaxed, "What, you think I'm lost?" ”

"Ah, that's not it." Louis stroked her smooth hair and whispered, "I'm in a bad mood right now, do you think this goblet of fire should be smashed?" ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then smiled, reached out to hug Louis's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Let's let this cup go, after all, he is hundreds of years old." ”

"It's because it's hundreds of years old that you should replace it!" Louis said viciously: "I see that it is old and dizzy, and I don't even choose my little moon, what kind of cream boy Diggory ......"

"Okay, they're all Hogwarts classmates, who are you going to choose?" Catherine rubbed Louis's face with her face and said with a smile, "It's just a game, don't take it so seriously......"

Having said that, Louis could still hear the deep unwillingness in his words.

Also, Catherine, who has always been above the top, is indeed quite difficult to accept this kind of blow, and it is already unexpected to be so open-minded.

Louis glanced up at Dumbledore and saw that Dumbledore was also looking at him, and the moment the two made eye contact, Louis noticed that Dumbledore was blinking at him quickly.

Dumbledore then stood up and held out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Great." Dumbledore said happily and loudly, "Okay, now that our three Champions have been chosen, I know that I can count on all of you, including Beauxbatons and Durmstrang classmates, you will definitely support your Warriors with all your might, and you will also make a great contribution to this event by cheering for the Warriors, I think that a successful Triwizard Tournament is also inseparable from the support of all of you!" ”

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly stopped, and everyone saw what had caught his attention.

The flame in the goblet turned red again——!

The flames crackled and burst out, and a long tongue of fire suddenly burst into the air, and a piece of parchment was held out of it.

Dumbledore subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed the parchment, he looked at the paper in his hand with a serious expression, it was a long silence, the students in the auditorium were frightened by his serious expression, and they didn't dare to breathe, they all stared at Dumbledore intently.

Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read the name on the note aloud.
