Upon entering the Great Hall, Durmstrang and the students of the Wizardry sat down at the long Slytherin table, which was the least crowded.

Ilvermorny sat down with the Ravenclaws, and Castrobusher headed to the Hufflepuff table.

And the wizards of Beauxbatons did not hesitate to come to Gryffindor's side, after all, Harley is Gryffindor's.

As Ms. Maxim said earlier, Hallie is now really famous in Beauxbatons.

When the mob came closest to Beauxbatons' carriage, it was only five or six tents away.

Lady Maxim evacuated the scene with the group of young wizards, only to see the blizzard Harry in the distance.

That heroic ...... Anyway, the boys in Beauxbatons are discussing plans and fantasizing about inviting Hallie to be their dance partner at the dance party in the middle of the Triwizard Tournament and dance together.

Although they are probably wishful thinking.

As soon as Hermione and Harley were seated, Fleur took Gabrielle to occupy the seat on the other side of Harley.

"Long time no see, Harley. Missed me? ”

"Of course." Hallie gave Fleur a hug and then hugged Gabrielle.

The little girl was curiously looking at the Great Hall of Hogwarts, and with a slightly perfunctory greeting of "Hello Sister Hallie", she continued to admire the banner on the wall.

Harley didn't care, but Fleur wasn't happy.

She tugged at Gabrielle's ears and made Gabrielle turn her head and say hello seriously, before she let her sister go.

When Madame Maxime entered, Fleur took Gabrielle's robe, who was still looking around, and made the unconscious little girl stand up.

"It's a custom in Beauxbatons that the principals stand when they enter the auditorium. Students can only sit down after the principal sits down. ”

Gabrielle whispered to Harley intimately, but was glared at by Fleur fiercely,

"Oh, oh no! I forgot what my sister said that speaking is also forbidden during this period! ”

…………

After almost everyone was seated, Professor Dumbledore stood up.

The Great Hall quickly fell silent, and only Professor Dumbledore's voice filled every corner of the Great Hall:

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts! And then there are VIPs from afar! ”

Dumbledore looked at the foreign students with a smile,

"It is with great joy that I welcome you all to Hogwarts."

"I also wish you all the best of luck and hope that you will enjoy the comforts and pleasures of home in Hogwarts."

"The Big Six will officially start at the end of the banquet, now let's enjoy a sumptuous dinner."

"Don't talk nonsense, let's eat!"

As soon as Professor Dumbledore sat down, the plates in the Great Hall were instantly filled with sumptuous dishes.

Signature dishes from various countries appeared one after another, which made the students dizzy.

Brazilian barbecue, black bean rice, clam bisque, french fish soup, garlic baked snails, raw fish sashimi, three salmon, pan-fried charred lamb chops, stargazing...... Wait, it seems like there's something weird mixed in?

The house-elves probably used all their tricks to satisfy their foreign friends.

However, it seemed that dark dishes such as looking up at the starry sky were not appropriate, and a certain girl from the magic institute frowned directly.

Is this how fish is eaten? It's a waste of fish!

Fleur took off her headscarf, and helped a restless Gabrielle take it off as well.

Suddenly, the surrounding space was silent.

The entire Gryffindor table stopped what they were doing and looked at Fleur dementedly.

However, Fleur got used to this and continued to chat with Harley and Hermione.

After a full third year of hard work, Hermione was able to insert French into the conversation between the two.

"Your students are really charismatic." In the faculty seat, Professor Dumbledore noticed the scene and smiled and chatted with Miss Maxime.

"It's just a little talent, it's nothing."

Ms. Maxim's voice was indifferent, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it at all,

"It's your Hogwarts Harley, she's really talented. That blizzard...... I have to say, she is really skilled in the control of weather spells. ”

Professor Dumbledore smiled proudly and said nothing, just drinking half a glass of mead in one gulp.

The principals of the other schools of magic also read the recent British Daily Prophet, thinking that they could gather some useful information, and they saw Harry's record.

So they know a little bit about Hallie, and now they can get together and join the chat.

Only Karkaroff remained silent in his seat, just taking small sips of rum.

It is also unknown if Professor Dumbledore did it on purpose or accidentally.

Anyway, to Kakaroff was an empty seat to the left, while to the right sat Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Alastor Moody.

Although he didn't look up, Karkaroff felt that Moody's magic eye had been fixed on him, scanning every inch of his skin.

This old thing, when he was a Death Eater, was the one who took himself to Crouch for trial.

Fortunately, he was clever and sold a lot of teammates, so he escaped.

As a result, this seat is lined up like this again, and I deliberately mess with my own mentality, right?

Karkaroff cursed secretly in his seat, but he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and even had a smile on his face.

The side door of the auditorium suddenly opened, and Filch led two officials from the British Ministry of Magic inside.

They are Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch.

However, the mental state of these two men looked average, Crouch was as thin as an old bone, and wrinkles had appeared on his face; Although Ludo still looked so fat, there was also a hint of irritability in his eyes.

As if he had expected it, Professor Dumbledore stood up and greeted the two Ministry of Magic officials from their seats.

When he first saw Crouch's mental state, Karkaroff was a little happy.

Although looking at Moody's state, he can probably live another thirty or forty years.

But Crouch seems to be dying! This is also a good thing for yourself, isn't it better to live longer than the enemy?

But he soon lost his joy, because Karkaroff's seat became Barty Crouch on the left and Alastor Moody on the right.

Karkaroff almost went straight to the red temperature, Dumbledore, you old immortal, what do you mean!

On the left is the person who judged me at the beginning, and on the right is the person who arrested me, and he dared to target me!

Believe it or not...... I was directly coaxed.

Karkaroff greeted the two of them very sincerely and lowered his profile, and his smile was about to overflow his face.

This made He Mao Daoman amazed, but he didn't expect that Mr. Karkaroff also had the "craftsmanship spirit" of the magic institute!

This bow is really standard!

"This time, the two of us are responsible for refereeing the Final Six Tournament." Ludo sat down and chatted with Dumbledore,

"It was supposed to be Director Umbridge and I as the referee."

"But you know, Secretary Fudge has been a bit busy lately, and Director Umbridge, as the Minister's former secretary, naturally wants to stay and help."

"Plus, she made a little mistake."

As he spoke, Ludo looked around and whispered,

"The thing to be used in the first competition was supposed to be one for each person, but Director Umbridge ordered seven."

"Alas, Director Umbridge still doesn't have enough experience, after all, she is more talented, which makes her lack of time to practice."

As he spoke, Ludo shook his head, looking very sorry.

The other Hogwarts professors and the headmasters of the two European schools of witchcraft and wizardry laughed silently, and of course they understood what Ludo meant.

Isn't Ludo secretly accusing Umbridge of parachuting here as secretary to the Minister of Magic and having no ability at all?

Ludo also spent decades on the Quidditch pitch, chased and beaten by Bludgers, and won a lot of honors for England before he became the director of the Department of Magical Sports.

In a word, why are you Um Bridge on my footing?

And it can be seen that Umbridge has made a big mistake recently, which has annoyed the always good-natured Ludo.

After all, this work is shared by two directors, and one of them has a problem, and he is also a close confidant of the Minister of Magic.

Then Ludo must be responsible for solving her troubles! It's no wonder that Ludo is starting to be weird.

However, everyone was an adult, and they didn't choose to pick up the topic, just a few fluttering words "This is so regrettable", and then changed the direction of the conversation.

After a long time, when everyone had finished their dessert after the meal, the plates on the table were as new as new again.

Professor Dumbledore stood up, a mixture of excitement and nervousness permeating the Great Hall.

All eyes were on Professor Dumbledore, and the Weasley twins were excited to get to their feet and lean forward.

"The time has finally come," Professor Dumbledore said, smiling at the faces that looked at him,

"The Final Six is about to begin. Below I will explain some of the specific details about the competition. ”

"First of all, we would like to introduce a few important guests here, who are-"

"Principal Olim Maxim of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Igor Karkarlov, the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Headmaster Egilburn Fontana of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Principal Joseph Olavilla of Castrobusche."

"Principal Michiman Kamo of the School of Magic."

"And Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic, and Mr. Barty Crouch, Deputy Director of the Department of International Cooperation."

Every time Professor Dumbledore introduced a guest, there was a polite round of applause in the auditorium.

And when Ludo was introduced, the applause was particularly enthusiastic.

After all, Ludo is very famous as a batsman and has won a lot of honors for England. Even after retiring for so many years, there is a large fan base.

"Over the past few months, the principals and directors have worked tirelessly to bring our Top Six Championship to life."

"And now, together we're going to form an eight-man panel of judges to evaluate the Warriors' performance."

"As you know, each school will send a Warrior to represent their school in the S. Six Tournament."

"The specific items of this year's Warriors competition have been fully designed and reviewed by the Ministry of Magic."

"There are three events in the tournament that will test the warriors' talents in many ways – including courage, reasoning and the ability to overcome danger."

"The champions will be judged based on their talents in the event."

Professor Dumbledore paused, looked at the expectant faces below, and coughed twice:

"As for the method of selecting warriors that everyone is most concerned about, it is - Goblet of Fire!"

Filch walked out of the side door holding an ancient wooden box encrusted with jewels. The box looked heavy, so Filch walked slowly.

After taking the wooden box, Dumbledore Classroom pulled out his wand and tapped it lightly on the lid of the box three times.

The lid slowly opened, making a creaking sound.

Professor Dumbledore pulled out a large, rough-cut wooden goblet from the box.

The cup itself looks inconspicuous, but if you look closely, you will feel that the roughness of the outer wall of the cup is becoming more and more charming.

If there is a knowledgeable ancient magic master or alchemy master, you can recognize it here, there is a large amount of magic and alchemy attached to the cup, and the rough marks on the outer wall of the cup are actually small alchemy runes and ancient magic words.

At this time, the cup was filled with blue-white flames, and the flames were jumping up and down regularly.

Professor Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the auditorium could see it clearly.

"In front of me is the Goblet of Fire, a very old magical object."

"Every student who wants to compete for the Warrior must write their name and the name of their school on a piece of parchment and throw it into the Goblet of Fire."

"As for the registration time, it is twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night, this time in Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will pick the names of the six students he thinks best represent the six schools. ”

"From now on, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the foyer. It will be accessible to all students who are willing to participate in the Final Six Tournament. ”

An invisible hand picked up the Goblet of Fire and flew to the front of the auditorium, where the school was divided.

Suddenly, a table appeared on the floor, and the Goblet of Fire landed smoothly on the table.

……

……

(Thanks to the two bigwigs of "Nine-Tailed Yanhu" and "Bu Denglou" for their tips!) ）

(P.S. The original Triwizard Tournament is a little unreasonable, as Dumbledore said at the beginning, it was the Warrior with the highest total score after scoring in the three events that won the Triwizard Cup.) But looking at the writing of the original book, although there is no clear explanation, it is probably possible to get the top three cups if you get the first place in the last maze project. So the author changed it, the scores of the first two events only affect the time to enter the maze, and the attribution of the trophy is based on the project in the maze. ）
