Chapter 395: Goblet of fire
Chapter 395
"The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts organized the Triwizard Tournament together, and of course they will not be absent on such an important occasion."
Hermione had known such a look, and said relaxedly, "I guess they will also provide some security for the Triwizard Tournament. Such a major event is not going to be launched without any preparation."
During the conversation, more dishes appeared on the table, many special desserts, they had never seen before, and they looked like foreign dishes.
Ron carefully pushed the foreign dishes to the edge of the table so that the people on the Ravenclaw table could see it, maybe she would like it. But it was a pity that the girl who resembled Veeva seemed to be full, and she didn't come here again.
When the students are full of food and can't eat anymore. The golden and silver plates were cleaned by magic and disappeared.
Dumbledore stood up and everyone looked at him nervously. An exciting and tense atmosphere spread in the auditorium, and it was finally coming.
Everyone is waiting excitedly for the next changes.
"The time is up, what everyone has been waiting for." Dumbledore smiled and said, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. First of all, I need to explain some rules to everyone and bring the box in--"
Everyone pricked their ears, listening to the "box" while speculating, this is one of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament?
He continued, "Next, I will explain the process of this year's activities. Of course, we first need to welcome our two important guests, maybe some people do not know them. This is the Director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, Batik Mr. Rauch."
The sparse applause in the auditorium may be the name of the department that makes people unfamiliar, or everyone's mind is waiting to get to the topic quickly.
Dumbledore pointed to another guest and said, "This is the Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Ludo Bagman."
The applause is louder than before, because he is smiling happily at everyone, waving at everyone, smile can always bring people closer.
Dumbledore continued, "In the past few months, Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have worked hard for the Triwizard Tournament, arranging important matters."
"Now, they will join me, Mrs. Maxim, and Professor Karkaroff to form a referee panel. Together, we will judge the efforts of the Warriors."
Dumbledore motioned to the members of the referee team again.
The students are already excited. They heard the keyword "warrior", and the next step will be how to become a "warrior".
Dumbledore waited until the classmates were quiet, and said, "Please bring the box up, Mr. Filch."
Before everyone had noticed, Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium until Dumbledore spoke. He immediately walked towards Dumbledore, holding a wooden box inlaid with precious stones in his hand.
The box is very large and looks a little quaint and old.
The classmates stared straight at the big wooden box, trying to see through the box. They talked, guessing what was in the box, maybe it was a magic item.
"This year, the Warriors' competition has been strictly reviewed by Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch."
At this time Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of Dumbledore.
"They have made the necessary arrangements for each project. This competition, a total of three projects, will be held at different times throughout the school year. These projects will comprehensively test the talents of the warriors... not only will they be tested in Magical talent... will also test their reasoning ability and their courage... of course, and their ability to overcome crises."
The auditorium was completely silent, and everyone was listening attentively to Dumbledore's explanation of the rules. Those foreign students also held their breath, afraid of missing any details.
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition this time."
Dumbledore said calmly, "Each of them will represent a participating school. We will give them a score based on their completion of each competition event. After all three events are completed, the warrior with the highest total score will receive three. Strongly compete for the championship."
"Now, the one responsible for selecting the participating warriors is an impartial selector. It is the Goblet of Fire."
Dumbledore said, tapping three times with his wand on the wooden box in front of the table. The lid of the box creaked open. Dumbledore took out a large wooden goblet from the box.
The contents of the wooden box are completely different from what everyone imagined. The cup is not eye-catching, not luxurious at all, and even rough. It is made of rough carved wood.
The only difference is the blue and white flames in the cup.
Dumbledore closed the box and placed the wooden goblet on the box so that everyone in the auditorium could clearly see the cup.
"Students who want to run for the Warriors need to write their names and school names together on a piece of parchment and throw them into this goblet of fire."
Dumbledore pointed to the Goblet of Fire and said, "Students who wish to become warriors can register within 24 hours. Tomorrow night, Halloween night, Goblet of Fire will select three warriors who best represent the three colleges."
"Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the foyer, and all students who wish to participate in the election will have access to it."
Dumbledore continued, "The age requirement for registration is over 17 years old. In order to prevent students from not being able to withstand the temptation, I will draw a line of age counties around the goblet. Students under the age of 17 cannot cross this. The dividing line Finally, I must remind everyone who wants to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. This game is not a trivial matter, don’t make a decision easily. Once the name that goes into the Goblet of Fire is selected , He must finish the game."
"The name thrown into the Goblet of Fire will form a special contract that must be observed. The chosen name cannot be changed again. Therefore, please be sure to think twice. Only those who want to participate in the competition can put their name in Goblet of fire."
"Finally, everyone should go to bed now. Good night everyone."
"Age boundary!" Fred suddenly became excited, his eyes gleaming, "That's great, I knew there would be a way. It only takes a few drops of ageing agent, it's not difficult. As long as you put your name in the cup, no one can change your mind, that's exactly what we need."
He and Joe couldn't help but high-five each other to celebrate.
As the dinner was over, the students began to leave the auditorium and walked towards their dormitory from the doors on both sides of the hall.
