After welcoming the two schools, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts entered the Great Hall.

As soon as he entered, John saw Heinrich changing into Durmstrang school uniform.

He was already seated at the Slytherin table, and after Slytherin had sat down, the Durmstrang students came to the Slytherin table and sat down.

Beauxbatons chose the Ravenclaw table, and John could feel the gaze coming from there.

He smiled and greeted Fleur, who was covering her face with a turban.

The auditorium is no longer a green flag, but a flag of the various houses.

At the Slytherin table, Krum and Heinrich say hello.

"Edgar."

He shouted, and Heinrich glanced at him in response, "Krum." ”

The two of them nodded like this, and it didn't seem that they had a good relationship.

But when the other Durmstrang saw Heinrich, their faces were a little bad, and some muttered, as if they were saying bad luck.

Seeing this, Malfoy pressed his mind to talk to Krum, turned around and asked, "You don't seem to have a good relationship with them." ”

"A group of defeated men, after losing to me, were isolated by me." Heinrich's face was indifferent.

This attitude almost made John get up, and then said, everyone here is scum.

Malfoy: "? ”

He looked at Durmstrong, who was sitting at one end of the long table, and then at Heinrich, who was on the other side.

Are you alone isolating them all?

Karkaroff also noticed Heinrich, who looked a little bad, but still held back and did not have a seizure.

Edgar was notoriously paranoid, and seeing Heinrich always reminded Karkaroff of the same Edgar who was next to Voldemort.

It was an uncomfortable one, especially after the Death Eaters were caught, and he didn't hear that the other party had been captured.

This scared Karkarov even more.

"It's a fun starry sky, we don't have that kind of magic there."

Krum is the most famous of Durmstran, and in terms of popularity, Karkaroff is not as good as him.

Malfoy wanted to go to Quidditch in his future, so he was interested in Krum.

"My name is Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin Quidditch Seeker."

He and Krum were talking, both were Seekers and liked Quidditch equally, so they could talk.

John didn't chat, and he noticed that there were four extra chairs in the faculty position.

Two are for the two headmasters, and two are supposed to be for the Ministry of Magic.

The Silver Hand Johnny will come over after the start of the match.

After all, it is the funder, and Hogwarts also depends on the face of the money.

The faculty members came in, and they walked to the guest of honor and sat down.

Walking at the back were the three headmasters, Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Lady Maxim.

Beauxbatons, which was closer to European-style education, saw the headmaster come out, and they hurried to their feet, and waited until Madam Maxim was seated before sitting down.

It's not at all like Hogwarts' free-range education.

Several Hogwarts students didn't seem to understand the act and couldn't help but laugh.

Dumbledore didn't sit down, he stood there until the Great Hall fell silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and ...... Especially the VIPs. Dumbledore said, smiling at the foreign students, "It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here. ”

Beauxbatons let out a sneer, as if amused by the words.

"The tournament will officially start at the end of the banquet, and I invite everyone to eat and drink as if they were in your own home!"

Dumbledore didn't like to talk at length, so he sat down after he had finished speaking, and Karkaroff immediately leaned over to talk to him.

The plate in front of him was suddenly full of food.

John took a random point and put it on a plate.

If he had seen so much foreign food before, John guessed he would have been pleased.

It's a pity that even the delicious French mixed fish soup is now the same as boiled water in his mouth.

Malfoy didn't shut up at the beginning of the party, and the more he and Krum talked, the more they talked.

Originally, Krum was quite perfunctory, but after hearing some of Malfoy's arguments, he gradually became serious.

Daphne looked disgusted, and the two of them chatted while eating, spitting and flying.

She drank the soup elegantly with a spoon, and a fragrant wind blew around her.

The girl's instinct told her that this person must be a big problem.

Sure enough, Fleur, who untied her turban, attracted a lot of attention.

She relentlessly left the Ravenclaw table and made her way to Slytherin.

"John, we're meeting again."

The silver hair was as smooth as silk, and Fleur just looked at it and made a boy blush and get out of the way.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the French mixed fish soup.

"John, won't you eat?"

John chuckled at this, reached out and knocked on the table, and the French mixed fish soup flew up and landed in front of Fleur.

She smiled beautifully, showing her white and neat teeth, "Thank you." ”33

Daphne's light gray-blue eyes looked over vigilantly, and when Fleur saw it, she raised her eyebrows in response.

This made Daphne mutter, "What's this, John's favorite food I cook!" ”

Pansy was speechless, would you like to hear what she was saying?

Krum was also attracted to Fleur, and it was only a brief moment of amazement that he recovered.

Like a blind student discovering Hua Dian, he said uncertainly, "You all wear the same badge?" ”

He looked at a few people, and the Hogwarts students didn't care, why Heinrich and Fleur also wore the same style.

He speaks with a straight voice and an accent, but it doesn't interfere with the conversation.

Malfoy puffed out his chest and said proudly, "We are all members of the Star Society. ”

"The Stars Society?" Krum was a little confused.

Fleur picked up the French fish soup and prepared to go back to Ravenclaw, but John stopped her and chuckled, "Gather later, the badge will guide you." ”

"Okay." Fleur carefully held the French mixed fish soup, that look, as if holding some kind of treasure, probably really loved to eat.

The banquet ends.

The golden plate was cleaned and freshly cleaned.

Dumbledore stood up again, an emotion of excitement and nervousness permeating the Great Hall.

John was unaffected, he just glanced at the empty seat, thinking to himself that old Barty should make the most of this opportunity.

"The time has finally come," Dumbledore smiled at the upturned faces, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, and I'd like to explain a few words before bringing the box in." ”

Box?

The students all noticed this and whispered about what the box was.

Dumbledore said to himself, "First of all, allow me to introduce two guests, they are Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic. ”

The auditorium burst into applause.

"This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic."

Applause rang out again, and the students were no strangers to the two men.

During the World Cup, both men's names appeared several times.

Barty Sr. squeezed a stiff smile on his face, for John had said that would make him act relatable.

The wizard's robe on his body is meticulously cared for, which makes people know that Old Barty is a very strict person, and the butterfly tie on his chest gives people a sense of relaxation and does not make people feel depressed.

This was specially designed by John for Barty Sr. by a stylist, and the main thing is to brush up on good feelings.

Most of the students in the school may not be good if they are too rigorous, but relaxation is the last word.

Old Barty had brought Percy with him, and he was standing aside and didn't go over.

He gestured in John's direction, and John nodded his badge and motioned for him to meet again.

All the members of the Stars Society arrived, and John felt the need to celebrate again.

Dumbledore continued, but he didn't listen carefully to how hard Barty and Ludo Sr. were.

Anyway, the point is that the referee is made up of two directors of the Ministry of Magic and three headmasters.

Immediately afterward, Dumbledore asked Filch to bring the box with him.

Dressed in a brand-new tuxedo, Filch brought over a large wooden box encrusted with jewels.

Some students stood on a stool trying to see better.

Filch carefully placed the box on the table while Dumbledore explained the process.

The Triwizard Tournament will be divided into three events, each at different times throughout the school year, and they will test the Warriors in many ways.

For example, magical talent, courage, reasoning, and the ability to overcome danger......

"You already know that there will be three Warriors in the tournament," Dumbledore continued quietly, "each representing one participating school. ”

"We will rate them based on the quality of each event, and at the end of the three events, the Warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup, and the Warrior will be selected by an impartial selector, and it will be ...... Goblet of Fire! ”

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times.

The lid slowly opened, and the creaking sound was somewhat harsh.

Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-cut wooden goblet.

Although the cup did not look very good, it was full of dancing blue flames.

"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors must write his name and the name of his school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet."

"Aspiring Warriors can sign up within twenty-four hours, and tomorrow Halloween night, the Goblet will select the Champion it thinks best represents the three schools."

"Tonight, the goblet will be in the foyer and will be accessible to all the students who are willing to participate in the campaign."

I don't know if it's a delusion, but when John hears 'you can touch it', he always feels like he's expecting people to break the rules.

Of course, Dumbledore wasn't stupid, he set an age line for the Goblet of Fire.

People who are not old enough cannot enter.

...

Some people died, but not completely......
