There was silence in the Great Hall, and all the young wizards looked at Dumbledore as he stood up from the podium.

The Prophet's daily team, which made a special request, has turned all sorts of shots at him.

The Super Goblet of Fire is already the most high-profile event of the year, far surpassing the Quidditch World Cup.

Its terrifying heat has sparked a frenzy throughout the wizarding world, with people keen to chase down all the news about the Super Goblet of Fire.

From the first round onwards, the broomsticks, Christmas dresses, the second round's huts, wetsuits, and all sorts of Muggle stuff quietly circulated.

Harry probably didn't even think that he would single-handedly bring down the price of the firebow arrows.

It was his outstanding performance in the first round riding the Halo 2000 that made people think that the Halo did not lose!

Ellerby, the manufacturer of the firebolts, and the Badmore Broomstick Company were so overwhelmed by this that they kept sending people to contact Harry.

Tried to convince him to use the Firebolt, and offered to give him a 'Supreme' Firebolt for free.

But the response of the light wheel company was also not slow.

The high-end market, which they had been losing because of fire crossbow arrows, was suddenly revitalized.

The ecstatic Light Wheel Company immediately contacted Harry and wanted him to be the spokesperson for the Light Wheel Company.

And willing to always offer a trial of Harry's latest broomstick, plus plenty of Galleons.

Unexpectedly, Harry's choice was made, and he made an offer that surprised everyone.

After a long discussion, Lightwheel finally announced their agreement with Harry.

The Halo Broomstick Company is officially a sponsor of Quidditch matches at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They will supply the four academies with the latest brooms and will ensure that they are always the latest products of the company.

As for Harry personally, nothing.

This shows how much of an impact the Super Goblet of Fire has had on the entire wizarding world.

All in all, nothing could come close to the Super Goblet of Fire during the entire tournament.

"Another unforgettable night"

Dumbledore opened his hands and said to the young wizards below with emotion:

"At this moment, I seem to be reminded of another unforgettable night, and it seems to be the same, I still remember ————"

Suddenly, there was the neat "call" of the little wizards below, and then there was a chaotic shout:

"Professor, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly."

"It can't be like this!"

"Professor, we're going to hear from the Super Goblet of Fire!"

"Hogwarts wins!"

In the specially added headmaster's seat, the headmaster of Castrobuscher, Da Sival, snorted coldly from his nasal cavity, turned his head to Karkaroff and said:

"It seems to me that Hogwarts has always lacked certain rules, and no one has ever dared to make a sound when Castrobusche and I speak.

Look at them, Ha———— the world's number one magic academy? ”

Karkaroff nodded approvingly.

Dumbledore didn't know anything about it, or wouldn't care if he did, he looked happily at the noisy little wizard below and waved his hand.

The auditorium fell silent again.

"Okay, okay, although I thought that night was kind of funny—

So let's talk about what everyone has been concerned about. ”

He walked down to the iconic owl platform, and the sound was not loud, but it was heard throughout the auditorium:

"The final round of the Super Goblet of Fire, as expected, will start in a week's time, in mid-May."

As soon as Dumbledore finished saying this, the entire hall erupted in cheers like thunder.

The reporters pressed the shutter desperately, and the flash of the magic camera lit up.

Malfoy slapped his face and poked Zhang Xiao with his elbow:

"What do you think the third round will look like?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't know, the imagination of this competition is simply full, and it is not a level at all compared to the Goblet of Fire that can be queried in history." ”

The applause in the auditorium gradually stopped.

The young wizards looked at Dumbledore eagerly, waiting for him to continue, and then heard Dumbledore continue:

"As before, the specific objectives and format of the third round are still kept secret and will be lifted before the start of the third round."

What?

The little wizards quit, they shouted in disappointment, this is the last round, and they still have to keep it secret?

Dumbledore smiled as he watched the young wizards holding their heads and shouted unwillingly for the Headmaster to reveal more.

After a while, the young wizards realized that Dumbledore obviously wouldn't reveal it in advance, so they had to sigh and pause, thinking about how to spend the rest of the week.

At this moment, Dumbledore's somewhat low, hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"If one day, the flame of the Goblet of Fire goes out, the tournament will never be lit, but people will still remember the excitement of the first Super Goblet of Fire.

In the two rounds that have been held, each school is fighting to the best of their ability.

Some people will say, what is the use of fighting so hard? The results are not good.

But I want to tell you, if you don't fight hard at the beginning, will the fruits of victory automatically fall into your hands?

In this game, there are no losers, just who plays better.

In any case, their performance was enough to amaze everyone, and they still pushed forward despite the difficulties and the warriors of none of the schools gave up.

It's not that you're not good enough, you're just not the best, that's all.

Let us once again cheer for the warriors of the nine schools with warm applause.

They are – Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Castrobusche, Cordos Doretz, Vagado, Ilvermorny, Wizardry, Hogwarts, Chinese Taoist Academy! ”

Every time Dumbledore said the name of a school, the students applauded them vigorously.

After waiting for the applause to subside, Dumbledore smiled:

"Good night, then!"

As time passed, the atmosphere in the castle became tense and exciting again.

Everyone is looking forward to the third competition, which will take place in a few days.

All the warriors were nervous to the naked eye, and the students from other schools would have been wandering around the castle or showing up in other classrooms.

But now they are always in a hurry, and from time to time someone is sent to the school infirmary by the grim-faced headmaster.

Some of the young wizards of Hogwarts secretly told Harry what they had heard in the infirmary, such as the headmaster of Castrobusher in the school infirmary angrily calling out the wounded warriors.

Said that he was simply a piece of waste, and he couldn't even put the Iron Armor Curse well.

Hermione felt that the warriors of the other schools must be training for spells desperately, which made her very anxious.

So the little witch wrote down all the spells she thought she could use, and told everyone to learn them with the utmost sternness.

Under Hermione's pressure, the others also became nervous.

Harry practiced spells whenever he had free - though he felt more confident than the previous two.

Zhang Xiao is okay, his strength has come to a bottleneck period, and he can see more beautiful scenery when he crosses this mountain, he can't rush here, and it's useless to hurry.

Idealistic cultivation, thinking about it is more useful than anything else, so he is the easiest among all the warriors.

But it didn't take long to be pulled, and he was pulled to be a sparring partner.

Professor McGonagall also gave the Warriors the green light in rare ways, such as allowing them to perform magic at any time at school.

She also wanted to open a separate classroom for the warriors so they could practice magic, but everyone felt that a room of request would be a better option.

In the last few days, Zhang Xiao accompanied them to review all the spells they had mastered, such as the obstacle charm, which could stop the attacker;

Smashing Charm, which can blow up solid obstacles;

There is also an orientation charm, which points the wand at due north

Another example is the most important iron armor spell, which is also the first high-level spell mastered by young wizards, and the situation is very good, and everyone is very familiar with it.

Everyone was immersed in the practice, as if they were going to practice like this until the start of the competition.

It was only the day before the competition that a sudden news interrupted their practice.

While everyone was eating in the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly rang out in the hall:

"All warriors, assemble in the small conference room at the end of the auditorium!"

Zhang Xiao and Malfoy glanced at each other, and he could even clearly see the nervousness in Malfoy's eyes.

They stood up, their faces solemn, and the other warriors stiffened toward the end of the auditorium.

At the other end of the table, several people converged, and no one spoke.

Until they pushed open the door, and to their surprise it wasn't the people of the tournament committee they had imagined, but-

"Daddy, Mommy?"

Malfoy looked at Lucius and Narcissa who were standing aside in disbelief, and Zhang Xiao was also taken aback, because Lucius had almost gained weight!

He didn't care if his parents didn't come, because no matter how busy they were, they would take the time to watch the live broadcast, and that was enough.

But Lucius dared to come? What a boldness! Could it be that there is too much security in China?

Cedric and his parents stood by the door.

Krum speaks fast Bulgarian to his dark-haired parents in a corner of the house, and he has inherited his father's hooked nose.

On the other side, Fleur is chattering with her mother in French, and Fleur's little sister Gabrielle is holding her mother's hand.

The Granger couple looked cramped, feeling a little out of place here, but still looked at it with amazement.

Neville had already rushed to the side of the room, where Frank and Alice were smiling, their joy and pride just by looking at their expressions.

The Weasleys held Ron in their arms, and since the last time Ron revealed his true feelings, the Weasleys liked to use this way to show that they had not forgotten him.

Zhang Xiao casually glanced through the crowd, there were too many people here.

Dozens of warriors, plus their families, there were hundreds of people crammed into this small conference room, so the school had to use the Traceless Stretching Charm to urgently expand some positions, and then everyone was standing.

Then he saw someone he would never have imagined - Penny Dursley.

Sirius stood not far from her, waving at herself with one hand in her pocket.

Zhang Xiao knew that Sirius actually had some knots about Vernon's death, but he didn't expect Penny to be there, was Sirius invited, or Dumbledore?

He still wanted to see the excitement, but Lucius and Narcissa had already walked over with Malfoy.

The arrogant temperament of the fat version of Lucius has disappeared a lot, but an aura of a successful businessman has appeared.

"Zhang, thank you for your help, both Chinese and to Draco."

Lucius, who hadn't seen a child in a long time, took Malfoy's arm affectionately, and so did Narcissa.

Malfoy squirmed uncomfortably.

Zhang Xiao sighed, there was no way to eat Harry's melons, he adjusted his emotions and began to deal with the greetings from the parents of the other Hogwarts Warriors.

Harry looked at Penny in a daze, he never expected Aunt Penny to come here to watch his game as a family member.

His gaze drifted unconsciously to Sirius, his gaze inquiring, wanting to know what was going on.

Sirius waved her hand, "It's not me, no, I mean I brought it here, but it wasn't me who invited her." ”

"It's Dumbledore." Penny said lightly: "He wrote me a letter and asked me if I wanted to come to see your game, saying that this is the most solemn game in the wizarding world right now, and you have performed very well." ”

Harry scratched his head, and only then did he notice that Aunt Petunia seemed to be dressed in her best clothes, only on solemn occasions.

Aunt Petunia was finally a little more angry than last time.

"Dudley—he" Harry immediately thought of his cousin, and honestly, after the reconciliation, he found that Dudley was not as bad as he used to be, and even a little bit of a bad place.

"Dudley has an exchange student program, and it's all out during this time, and it won't be back until two weeks."

Penny explained dryly:

"So when I got the letter, I thought it was all right, and—and Mr. Black said you really need someone to cheer up, so I came."

Harry nodded, and said equally dryly:

"Thank you."

The two fell silent, and Sirius couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, and immediately found a reason to go and chat with Zhang Xiao.

Only the two aunts and nephews were left, and the lively atmosphere in the room seemed to have nothing to do with it.

It seemed that after a long time, Harry finally heard Penny's voice, which seemed to be filled with infinite emotion, with a slight trembling:

"Hogwarts. Is this the school where she once lived? ”

Harry's heart seemed to be pinched as well, and he knew who Aunt Petunia was talking about.

That's his mother, Lily Potter.

I also remembered that this was once a place that Penny had dreamed of.
