Not wanting to talk too much about leaving Hermione, Locke shifted the subject: "You've heard, the Death Eaters made a big fuss about Quidditch's European Cup final not long ago. ”

"I read the newspaper reports, and Harry and Ron, and the two of them talked to me a lot, and I really didn't expect that something like this would happen." Hermione said this with some dissatisfaction in her tone:

"The people of the Ministry of Magic were majestic when they arranged for the Dementors to be at the school, but when they encountered the Death Eaters making trouble, they were always helpless, and the Minister of the Ministry of Magic was still at the beginning of the game."

"'Police' is not used at critical times, or it is also a tradition in many film and television dramas to arrive afterwards." Locke complained in his heart, and then said: "This has nothing to do with us, and you don't talk nonsense outside, so as not to get into trouble."

Speaking of which, the college is going to hold a big event this year, and I believe you will definitely enjoy it after listening to it. ”

"What is the event?" Hermione asked.

Locke smiled and said nothing, which made Hermione's curiosity even heavier, and immediately grabbed Locke's arm and said coquettishly: "Teacher~ What kind of activity is it, don't hide it." ”

"Keep wondering." Looking at Hermione's rare coquettish tone, Locke was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I think you might as well be patient for a while, and when you get to school, Dumbledore should announce it at the dinner." ”

This time, the return to campus was set earlier than usual, and students arrived at the college by train not in the evening, but in the early morning, as in previous years.

After the students beat up, they found that there were many guests from the academy, all of them teenagers and girls of the same age as them, and when they saw this, Hermione knew that most of them had something to do with the activities that Locke had said.

Although Hermione knew that she did need a little patience to get the results, thinking about it made her even more curious.

It's just that no matter what method she uses, Locke refuses to speak, and in desperation, Hermione can only helplessly endure the feeling of cat scratching, and wait until the opening dinner.

Sure enough, after the Sorting House ended, when Dumbledore spoke for the new school year, he said loudly: "First of all, I want to announce one thing, this school year, this castle will welcome a special group of guests.

Because just this year, Hogwarts was chosen to host the Triwizard Tournament! ”

Many students knew what the Triwizard Tournament was, and after listening to it, they immediately started to discuss it excitedly, and some of them popularized science to those students who didn't know.

The discussion lasted for two or three minutes before Dumbledore knocked on the podium, and the crisp voice silenced the clutter, and when the scene quieted down, he introduced the guests from the other schools, the most notable of course the female students from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

These female students are all wearing cyan silk skirts, lady hats on their heads, black stockings can be seen on the calves under the long skirts, stepping on cyan high heels, and the neat and crisp sound of dada dada attracts many eyes.

In line with the movements, the magic butterflies hover and flicker around the girls, and this magical version of the sound and light effects is comparable to a large-scale stage performance.

Locke said in his heart that it is no wonder that so many people like uniforms, in fact, on many occasions, the uniforms are really top-notch, and these girls do not look top-notch, but they have the effect of attracting the attention of the audience.

Seeing the girls dance a few movements neatly, they exited, and the boys in the audience couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

Their counterparts were the teenagers from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which also attracted the attention of many girls, and some even screamed.

After the introduction, Dumbledore announced some more rules, and also let Locke know that the plot of the Goblet of Fire was finally about to begin.

Maybe it was because of the guests, and there were more ice creams and many desserts such as puddings at the dinner party, which made Locke, who also likes sweets, subconsciously eat more.

Hermione finally knew about the activity that Locke was talking about, and she was actually very excited, but the published rules that only allowed students over the age of seventeen to participate made her very unhappy.

And Locke is holding the mentality of watching the excitement and being a happy melon eater, but Hermione is different from the original plot, if it weren't for the rules, she actually wanted to sign up very much.

"The Triwizard Tournament is not unique to this year, there will definitely be opportunities in the future, and now you are still a little short of the heat." Locke could only appease her a little.

The plot didn't change much next, and for some reason, the name of Harry Potter was added to the list of participants.

This unexpected turn of events surprised Dumbledore and caused a huge controversy, but in fact Harry himself did not sign up at all, according to the previously announced rules, the age hurdle brushed him off.

In addition to the original three warriors, the name of a fourth person suddenly appeared, which made Hogwarts, the organizer, a big ugly, but fortunately, Dumbledore experienced a lot of things, except for the second time when he shouted Harry, his voice was a little louder, and he was able to maintain his composure.

But at this time, in his heart, Dumbledore was still very angry and worried, in addition to the scandal of the house, there is also the current situation, it is obvious that someone is targeting Harry Potter, this accident means that Harry may be in danger.

By ingesting the mind, Dumbledore knew that Harry hadn't signed up at all, so he could only look at him for a moment and hand him the fragment of the sheepskin with his name written on it.

Especially when he thought of the Death Eaters' Quidditch troubles before, Dumbledore felt that something was out of his control, and Harry was considered a cheater by many because it was known that he was not even seventeen years old.

Also surprised was Hermione, who also knew that Harry hadn't signed up at all, which made her can't help but say, "What the hell is going on, Harry didn't want to participate at all." ”

"Looks like our Mr. Harry is in trouble again." Locke shrugged his shoulders and said, "It should be some accident beyond Headmaster Dumbledore's expectations, Harry is never in trouble, too many people are staring at him. ”

"Really?" Hermione looked at Locke, "Who did it?" ”

Of course, Locke knew what was going on, but he still shook his head slightly: "It happened suddenly, and I can't tell who did it for the time being, but since his name appears, then he must participate in the Triwizard Tournament, which is also the rule." ”

"But......" Hermione couldn't help but want to continue, but was interrupted by Locke:

"The headmaster Dumbledore you said knows better than you, since he didn't open his mouth to deny Harry's qualifications, it means that Harry must participate, and the rules of the Triwizard Tournament are not just Dumbledore's words, this is a rule that has been handed down."
