This year's sorting hat was very efficient, and it probably only took more than half an hour to complete the sorting work.

Finally, with Kevin Wittby being sorted into Hufflepuff, the sorting ceremony was over.

Dumbledore stood up and looked at all the students with a smile, "Eat." ”

The empty plate was suddenly magically filled with food.

Mikel filled himself with a large spoonful of mashed potatoes and said, "I've seen it many times, but every time these foods pop up, it still strikes me a little incredible." ”

"Hogwarts Repertoire." Kyle said with a smile.

While eating delicious steak and ham, they discussed the possibility of carving the magic symbol for the boat, and by the way, they tentatively worked out the price.

One hundred Galleons per ship.

For a few students who have not yet graduated, this number is indeed a little higher, but it can be discussed if it is not suitable.

By the time the meal was over, Kyle had a plate of Yorkshire pudding among the many desserts.

This traditional British pudding tastes great, and more importantly isn't as sweet as syrup pies, making it a great after-dinner snack.

Eventually, all the food was swept away, and the remaining crumbs on the plate were gone, clean and shiny again.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood up again, and the humming in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at him.

As is customary, Dumbledore first emphasized a few precautions, such as the fact that new students are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest...... He says this once a year, and there's nothing new.

The only difference is that there are several more forbidden items in the castle, including but not limited to screaming teacups, combo boomerangs, and biting quills...... It's all new from last year's Jokowi Joke Shop.

Counting these, the entire list is already four hundred and thirty-seven.

It has to be said that this list is so complete, Fred and George are the most credited, and it is conservatively estimated that the two of them alone contributed more than a hundred names.

"I'm sorry to tell you that there will be no Quidditch this year!" Dumbledore said.

The Great Hall suddenly became chaotic, and everyone looked at Dumbledore noisily and in disbelief.

But before he could explain, the door to the auditorium slammed open.

A man appeared in the doorway, limping towards the teacher's chair with a long cane.

Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at him.

Oooo

Suddenly, a bifurcated bolt of lightning streaked across the ceiling, illuminating his face.

Breaths were heard in the auditorium.

His face was scarred and there was hardly a good place, but it wasn't the most terrifying.

The scariest thing is his eyes.

He had only one normal eye, the other was large, round like a coin, and bright blue.

"Oh, it's the Mad-Eye!" Someone subconsciously shouted.

Almost instantly, the blue eyeball rolled and burrowed into the man's head, as if staring at the man who was talking behind him.

The student who shouted the name of the mad-eyed man just now hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

The man walked up to Dumbledore, and the two whispered something before he sat down in one of the empty chairs.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Professor Alastor Moody! ”

Embarrassingly. There was no applause from the students at the bottom, only Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped their hands, and the atmosphere was even colder than last year's Professor Lupin.

At the Hufflepuff bench, Kyle looked down at the parchment in his hand.

Ever since Moody entered the door, he had opened the map for the first time, but strangely, it didn't show the other person's name, and none of the names had moved as he walked towards the teacher's seat.

It's as if he doesn't exist...... To be precise, it should be what method he used to make his name unmapable.

Hogwarts is undrawn, and does not appear on any map.

However, this is normal for an old Auror who is suspicious by nature.

There are many name-related spells in the wizarding world, the most well-known of which is Lord Voldemort.

Anyone who shouts this name will be perceived by him and kill him directly, which is why most people call him the mysterious man.

Seriously, if Moody's name does appear on the Livespot map, even if it's his real name, Kyle will wonder if he's someone else pretending.

Now it may be true.

Looks like the old Auror has escaped...... Probably so.

Kyle put away the map and continued to look in the direction of the teacher's chair as if nothing had happened.

Dumbledore was no longer obsessed with introducing the new professor.

"Let's get back to what we just said."

"The reason for the cancellation of Quidditch is that in the coming months we will be proud to have a wonderful event that has not been held for more than a century," he said.

I'm happy to report that Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year! ”

The auditorium was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a loud buzz that had never been heard before.

"Just kidding......"

"Triwizard Tournament...... Oh my God......"

"I can't believe ......"

Some people jumped up in place with excitement and excitedly explained to the students who didn't know what the Triwizard Tournament was.

To put it simply, if it's only in Europe, it's the biggest tournament, and even the Quidditch World Cup has to be sidelined.

Everyone screamed and jumped with excitement, and Dumbledore laughed softly.

"I'm not kidding." "Some of you don't know what this tournament is all about, so I feel the need to explain a little bit here," he said......

The so-called Triwizard Tournament is the three largest magic schools in Europe...... A kind of friendship rivalry between Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang ......"

He then explained in detail the origins of the Triwizard Tournament, its dangers, and the number of deaths in the past.

It's just that except for a few people, everyone seems to be not interested in those who died more than a hundred years ago, and their enthusiasm has not diminished in the slightest.

Especially after hearing that the champion still has a prize of 1,000 Galleons, they rushed to sign up, and the excited shouts almost toppled the ceiling.

"I know you all want to compete in the tournament and bring glory to the school." Dumbledore said, "However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agreed that there should be an age limit for this year's competitors, and only students who were at least fifteen years old would be allowed to register for consideration ......"

Dumbledore had to raise his voice slightly to hold back some people's protests, "This decision is necessary, no matter how many measures we take, it is impossible for students below the fifth year to deal with it, and this is also for your safety......"

"Oh, shit!" At the Hufflepuff table, someone beat his chest and said, "I'm just a few months away...... He asked if they could change the selection to December. ”

"Ha, I'm so lucky." Mikel did not care about his feelings in the slightest, and said happily: "My birthday is in March, which is exactly over fifteen years old...... Kyle, you should be over too. ”

"What?" Kyle thought he had misheard, but after hearing Mikel's words, he came back to his senses and nodded, "Oh, yes, I just turned fifteen last month." ”
