As the black behemoth skimmed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, illuminated by the lights of the castle window, they saw a great powder-blue carriage flying towards them. It was the size of a house, and twelve winged horses flew through it, all silver-maned horses, each about the size of an elephant.

The carriage flew lower and landed at an extremely fast pace, and the students in the first three rows hurriedly backed away - and then, with an earth-shattering bang, Neville jumped backwards and stepped on the foot of a fifth-year Slytherin - only to see the horses' hooves slam to the ground, all the size of a vegetable plate. In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on the huge wheels, and the golden horses shook their huge heads, their big fiery red eyes dripping.

Bai Lang looked at this picture, and thought about the picture in the movie - his impression of Beauxbatons was a little weak, but he still remembered the group of beautiful women dressed in hunting clothes walking in unison and what they were doing, but there was no doubt that what impressed him the most was Durmstrang's picture......

A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the huge carriage that stopped on the ground, and he bent down, groping for something on the floor of the carriage, and then opened a golden spiral staircase. He jumped back respectfully, and a woman appeared, very large, but by no means the weird and ugly mushroom-headed woman that Bai Lang saw in the movie.

He struggled to remember where he had seen this woman, as if it was a British drama "Downton Abbey" Bai Lang muttered, in which the actress Maria Doyer Kennedy looked like this, this giantess was very well-proportioned and not a deformed monster.

Her face relaxed, an elegant smile bloomed, and a glittering hand was held out as she walked towards Dumbledore. Dumbledore, though also tall, barely bent over when he kissed the hand. "Dear Miss Maxime," he said, "welcome to Hogwarts. ”

"Dumbledore," Miss Maxim said in a deep voice, "I wish you all the best. ”

"Very good, thank you. Dumbledore said. Then came the Beauxbatons students, more than a dozen of whom were about ten years old, all trembling slightly. This is not surprising, since the robes on their bodies seem to be made of fine silk, and none of them wore cloaks. Several students wrapped their heads in scarves or bandanas.

There is no look like the boy scout cheerleaders dancing in uniformly all the way in the movie, Bai Lang secretly laughed, "It's normal, that's a movie." ”

Beauxbatons followed Madame Maxime into the hall to warm up, and only the hapless Hogwarts students were still stomping their feet outside and waiting for Durmstrang students to arrive. They stood there, waiting for Durmstrang and his party to arrive, shivering from the cold. Most people are staring up at the sky. There was silence for a moment, except for the sound of Madam Maxim's giant horse snorting and stomping its hooves.

There was a strange sound, as if someone had pulled the plug from the bathtub. "In the lake!" shouted Lee Jordan, pointing to the lake, "Look at the lake!" Standing on the slope of the lawn overlooking the site, they could clearly see the calm, black water—but it was suddenly no longer calm. There was a commotion in the middle of the lake, with huge splashes and waves crashing against the wet shore - and then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug had suddenly been pulled out of the bottom of the lake......

Slowly, and in extraordinary style, the great ship rose out of the water, glittering in the moonlight. It looked eerie, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a freshly salvaged shipwreck, and the portholes shimmered with a dim, foggy glimmer that looked like ghostly eyes. Finally, with a faint splashing of water, the big boat came out completely, tossed on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the shore. A moment later they heard a thud, an iron anchor thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap, and a plank was placed on the shore of the lake. A long, black rod-like thing slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool......

A large group of sturdy men in fur cloaks walked down from the boat, "I rely on calcium guys in groups!" Bai Lang sighed, "I didn't expect this school to be the kind of locker room school, changed back and forth." Even women are full of calcium!"

Professor Karkaroff, the leader of the calciums, took the initiative to say hello to Professor Dumbledore, and then the white waves were finally able to return to the warm hall - one of the calciums group seemed to be named Victor Krum, who had caught the attention of all the Hogwarts students. Quite a few people rushed over and asked for autographs.

"What is this guy doing?, the strongest calcium guy in the world?" Bai Lang stabbed Neville and asked, of course he got an answer, "You said he was a Quidditch player for the Bulgarian national team?" Bai Lang really forgot that this guy was a player, and quickly lost interest in this calcium guy after getting this answer.

It was at this moment that the deep-seated discrimination against Durmstrang students took shape, and from then on, Durmstrang was the place where came out for Bai Lang. Entering the hall, the Beauxbatons students had already taken their seats at the Ravenclaw table, and Ron's unsuccessful attempt to get Hermione to step aside in order to lure Durmstrang to sit down, they sat down on the Slydrin side, all of whom were from the pure-blood faction.

"Ron, do you like those very much?" Bai Lang's words suddenly became very clear and loud at this time, and it was obvious that he was speaking very softly—perhaps because this was the time when there was no sound. All of a sudden, many people looked at Bai Lang, and this person didn't care at all, "Yes, it's Durmstrang's." ”

"Mr. Langne!, such unkind remarks!Gryffindor deducts twenty points!" It was Professor McGonagall who was angry......

Bai Lang shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sorry professor, I was a little out of words, and I accidentally said what was in my heart." Sorry Durmstrang cubs. ”

"Twenty more points!" was the phrase from Professor Snape......

In the blink of an eye, a lot of Gryffindor's gems were gone, and everyone glared angrily, but some people secretly gave a thumbs up and felt that Bai Lang's provocation was good. The students of Durmstrang still haven't figured out what is going on, and it seems that the students of Hogwarts are looking at them directly and starting to provoke?

Not everyone understands English, and they also exchanged words with each other, and in the end they could only stare at Bai Lang - it seems that Karkaroff has a strong control over the school, and no one came up to try to fight Bai Lang alone.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and—especially—distinguished guests," said Dumbledore, 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. Speaking of this, Dumbledore squeezed his eyes at Bai Lang, "Be friendly, Mr. Bai Lang." ”

A Beauxbatons girl, still wrapped her head tightly in a scarf, let out a sneer that was undoubtedly sarcastic. "Bitch, what are you laughing at?" Bai Lang turned his head directly to look at the girl, "Why don't you say what you are dissatisfied with our principal?" Or do you want to be stripped naked and thrown outside to blow the wind?"

"Lang Ran!20 points!" Professor McGonagall was going crazy, what did she think was going on with Bai Lang today?Neville secretly pulled Bai Lang, "What's wrong with you today?" Bai Lang grinned with teeth, "I'm sorry Professor, I think I'm a little ...... Can't wait to fight the excitement. I'm sorry. ”

He smiled hideously, his tongue licking his lips like a man-eating tiger. Dumbledore tapped the cup with his spoon, "It's okay Mr. Lang, you come to my office later." The tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet. Dumbledore said, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as if they were in your own home!"

The schoolgirl from Nabeauxbatons stared fiercely at Bai Lang, who raised the steak to greet her, and then bit off half of the steak in one bite. It wasn't long before the girl came to the trio of Ron diagonally across from the white waves, and she finally took off her scarf. A long waterfall-like head of silver hair hung down to her waist. She has large blue eyes and a mouthful of white, neat teeth.

"Yo, I'm still a French beauty. Bai Lang whistled lightly and continued to gnaw on large chunks of his flesh, while Ron's face was flushed and he couldn't say anything. Almost all the Hogwarts boys were secretly looking at the Beauxbatons girl, and only Bai Lang was concentrating on dealing with steak and pork chops after he finished speaking—in this short period of time, he had already eaten meat that only a few people could eat.

"The time has finally come," Dumbledore said, smiling at the upturned faces, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin." I'd like to explain a few words before I bring the box in—" whispered below.

"—I would like to explain the program of our activities for this school year. But first, allow me to introduce two guests, for there is no one else who knows them, this is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic," - there was a sparse applause in the auditorium - "This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic. "The applause was much warmer than it had just been.

"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued, "and they will form a panel of judges with me, Professor Karkaroff and Miss Maxim to judge the efforts of the Warriors. ”

"The specific events of this year's Warriors' competitions, Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully vetted them," Dumbledore said, as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him, "and they have made a lot of necessary arrangements for each event." There are three programs, each taking place at different times throughout the school year, and they will test the Warriors in many different ways...... A test of their talents in magic - their courage and their ability to reason - and, of course, their ability to overcome danger. ”

Dumbledore then took out a large wooden goblet from the box and announced that the three Warriors would be selected by the Goblet of Fire. There was a blue-and-white flame burning in the cup, and "every student who wanted to run for a Warrior had to write his name and the name of his school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," Dumbledore said, "Those who want to become a Warrior can sign up within twenty-four hours." Tomorrow night, the night of Halloween, Goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the foyer and will be accessible to all students who are willing to participate in the campaign. ”

"Lest the younger students fall short of temptation," Dumbledore said, "I'm going to draw an age line around the goblet when it's in the foyer." No one under the age of 17 can cross this age line. Then the headmaster said a string of words that would kill people.

"Will you participate?" asked Neville, and the rest of the people who heard looked at Bai Lang, who pouted, "I'm not even seventeen, and I'm not very interested - I'm not short of money." He snapped his fingers, "So I'm not going to sign up, and I don't think any of you here who are under the age of age have the ability to break through the principal's magic." ”

Bai Lang didn't rush to leave, "I'll sit down for a while to eliminate food, you guys go first." ”

The next day was Saturday, and in general, students went to breakfast late. However, it wasn't just Bai Lang and Neville, who trained him, who got up much earlier than usual on the weekend, the trio was also there. They saw more than twenty people gathered around, a few still eating bread, all of them looking at the Goblet of Fire. The cup was placed in the center of the foyer, on the same stool where the Sorting Hat was customary. A thin circle of gold wire was drawn on the floor, with a radius of ten feet, enclosing the cup in the middle.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hurried down the stairs, all three looking extremely excited. The three fools, who had drunk the age-booster, triumphantly declared that they could do it, and agreed to split the prize money equally - and Fred and George, who were the first to enter, were ejected and covered with white beards.

"I warned you. A low, amused voice spoke, and everyone turned to see Professor Dumbledore coming out of the Great Hall. He looked at Fred and George, his eyes shining, "I suggest you both go to Madam Pomfrey." She was already nursing Miss Fawcett of Ravenclaw and Mr. Summers of Hufflepuff, and they both had made up their minds to age a little longer. But I must say that both of them are nowhere near as beautiful as yours. ”

Bai Lang also laughed, and then he watched Madame Maxime and Beauxbatons students line up, crossing the gold thread one by one and throwing their names into the cups. "Sure enough, it's a magic cup, otherwise the cup would have been full at that size. Bai Lang commented, but both Harry and Ron were obsessed with the Beauxbatons girl's looks.

On this day, someone walked through the golden thread and threw his name into the Goblet of Fire, but Bai Lang lost interest early in the morning, and he disappeared into the Forbidden Forest.
