The discussion lasted for nearly two minutes before Dumbledore knocked on the podium, and the crisp echo suppressed the discussion.
After the auditorium returned to silence, Dumbledore continued: "The Triwizard Tournament is a series of magic competitions between three schools. Each school only selects one student to participate in the competition."
Next, Dumbledore briefly talked about the intensity of the competition.
After finishing speaking, Dumbledore raised his voice and announced loudly: "Now, please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies from Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and their principal, Madam Maxime!"
As soon as the words fell, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened.
A group of girls wearing 'blue silk skirts' lined up and entered the auditorium.
This group of girls wore lady hats with the same color as their long skirts. Their calves under the long skirts were wrapped in black stockings. They wore the same cyan high heels on their feet, which made a neat and crisp sound when they stepped on the ground.
As they marched, the girls' postures were enchanting and charming, as if they were actors performing on an opera stage. Their delicate movements exuded the hormones of girls to both sides of the aisle.
In conjunction with the movements, some magic butterflies suddenly flew out from the girls' bodies, circling and flashing around them, making them seem as if they were walking out of a phone call.
This made the students at the tables on both sides subconsciously exclaim in admiration. Of course, only the male students did so, while the girls seemed to have seen a natural enemy and were very wary.
Before arriving at the ceremony stage, the girls spread out to both sides like a dance, danced a few neat movements again, and then bowed to the hall and left.
Immediately, the Hogwarts boys in the auditorium began to cheer and cheer, clapping their hands, and occasionally whistled.
Dumbledore personally came forward to greet Principal Maxim, and after cordial greetings, arranged a seat for him.
Returning to the center of the auditorium again, Dumbledore raised his arms, pressed his right hand down to indicate silence, pointed his left hand at the door of the auditorium, and continued to announce loudly: "Invite friends from the north! Let us welcome people from Durmstrang
The pride of the magic school, and their principal - Mr. Karkaroff!"
As everyone turned their heads, on the other side of the auditorium door, a group of young people wearing thick plush coats lined up and entered the auditorium.
The teenagers had serious faces and slightly arrogant eyes. The half-length wooden sticks in their hands kept hitting the ground as they marched, like the sound of war drums.
Arriving at the stage, they also dispersed and performed some performances. Different from the dance steps of the previous girls, they performed some fighting movements and some magic with very brilliant visual effects.
Now, it was the girls' turn at Hogwarts to start screaming.
Dumbledore came forward again, greeted and hugged Principal Karkaroff, and then arranged seats.
Soon, students from the other two colleges were seated.
Next, Dumbledore invited the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic to read out the specific rules of the Triwizard Tournament.
However, one of the rules, "Only students over the age of seventeen can participate" caused a lot of protests in the auditorium.
Dumbledore used the 'Amplifying Curse' to suppress the protests, and then had the 'Goblet of Fire' from the 'Triwizard Tournament' brought to the stage, and announced: "I want to participate in the 'Triwizard Tournament'
Students, please write your name on parchment and throw it into the 'Goblet of Fire' before the evening of this Thursday to register."
Finally, he warned everyone to be careful when choosing whether to sign up or not, and then Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner.
This year's menu is a bit special, with ice cream and ice cream sandwiches taking up a lot of space on the table.
There are also many desserts, such as puddings of various flavors.
Obviously, it is to take care of the students of the other two colleges.
Ke Wen couldn't help but think that with such alternation between hot and cold, many people might have to go to the infirmary tonight to treat toothaches.
Just as he was about to add some food to the plate in front of him, Ke Wen couldn't help but hesitate.
Because almost all the students around him were looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Ke Wen looked around and asked with some surprise.
"Of course it's the 'Triwizard Tournament'!"
The roommate Selt, who was sitting opposite, said excitedly: "Apart from you, Kewen, who else in the entire academy is more qualified than you? The Goblet of Fire will only choose you!"
Hearing this, Ke Wen shook his head helplessly: "I didn't say I wanted to participate..."
"Merlin's cup! How could you think so!"
Benedick Shaq, who was in the same grade, picked up the topic and said in disbelief: "That's the Triwizard Tournament! It represents the honor of the entire Hogwarts! How can you not participate, Coven?"
"Yeah yeah……"
The students around him all echoed.
"Forget it." Ke Wen smiled and shook his head again, while serving himself food, and said: "I am about to graduate from seventh grade, so I'd better give this opportunity to my juniors and juniors."
No longer paying attention to the condemnation and persuasion of his classmates, Kewen went to the meat first as usual, grabbed a whole lamb chop and gnawed it, occasionally tasting some patches, but did not touch the ice cream...
Regarding the Triwizard Tournament, Kewen treated it with the mentality of watching the excitement.
However, he wants to be a happy melon-eater, but many people disagree.
In the past two days, not only his classmates persuaded him to sign up, but even the four branch deans also expressed their expectations for him.
In addition, after Snape knew the whole story of the plan last school year, he rarely verbally criticized Covin, which was obviously a great deal of gratitude.
However, Kewen still declined the expectations of the professors.
After lunch on Thursday, Penello came over, sat down next to Covin and asked: "I heard that you are not going to sign up for the competition?"
"That's right." Ke Wen nodded while eating the dessert pudding after the meal: "After all, we are already in seventh grade, and I will go to the East after the holidays, so I don't plan to get involved."
"That is to say, you didn't put the registration slip into the Goblet of Fire?"
"Of course, what's wrong?"
Penello shook his head and said as he stood up: "Nothing, I just want to find out about the situation from you."
After saying that, Penello said goodbye and turned to leave.
Kewen watched his friend go away, then shook his head and continued to taste the different flavors of dessert pudding.
The afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening, teachers and students from the three schools gathered in the auditorium to unveil the final list of contestants.
The Goblet of Fire was placed in the center of the ceremony platform, with blue flames rising above the mouth of the cup.
Dumbledore stepped forward, walked to the Goblet of Fire, then turned to face the audience, then raised his hand and waved gently several times to extinguish the candles in the entire auditorium.
At this time, the entire auditorium seemed dark, and only the flame on the Goblet of Fire became the only source of light, making the entire auditorium look like a haunted house, with a dark blue color.
Dumbledore turned to the Goblet of Fire again, raised his hand and cast the 'activation' spell.
The next moment, the flame on the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned blood red, roared for a moment, and spit out a note from the flame.
Dumbledore raised his hand to take the note, carefully identified it from the half-burned note, and then announced loudly to the audience: "The warrior of Durmstrang is - Viktor Crewe
Mu!"
The Durmstrang crowd suddenly burst into cheers. Amid the cheers of celebration from his classmates, Krum clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, and then walked up to the podium amidst everyone's applause.
"Congratulations, Mr. Krum." Dumbledore shook hands with the other party, congratulated him, and motioned for Krum to wait in the room at the back of the auditorium.
Soon, the Goblet of Fire spat out a second note.
"The champion of Beauxbatons is - Fleur Delacour!"
Amidst the applause and whistles of the boys at Hogwarts, Fleur, who had a forward and backward figure, kept a reserved smile and stepped forward to shake hands with Dumbledore.
Next, the note representing the Hogwarts players was sprayed out by the Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore once again accurately caught the note from mid-air. When he looked down, a big smile appeared on his face.
Holding the note high, Dumbledore's tone was filled with unconcealable joy, and he announced loudly: "The warrior who represents Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Triwizard Tournament is...Kevin! Quinn
——”
coax--
All the students in Hogwarts House stood up at the same time, and the applause almost lifted the roof.
All kinds of screams, cheers, and loud roars to express emotions filled the entire auditorium.
Ke Wen was sluggish at this time, he didn't sign up at all!
While he was dazed, a figure suddenly broke through the wall of people congratulating Ke Wen around him and pounced on him hard.
Subconsciously, he opened his arms to hug the intruder and was about to push him away, but stopped after hearing the sound.
"Haha! Ke Wen! Congratulations!" Penello hugged Ke Wen's neck hard, face to face, jumping and laughing and said: "I knew it! You will definitely be selected to become a warrior by the 'Goblet of Fire'!"
"
Kewen pushed Penello away slightly in disbelief, held his friend's arms with both hands, and asked in shock: "Is it you?"
"It's me!" Penello nodded heavily, with a big smile: "In the afternoon, I put your name in! I just tried it casually, I thought the Goblet of Fire could only be signed up in person.
I never thought it would be okay for me to sign up for you!”
Ke Wen opened his mouth and could only respond with a wry smile: "Why is this necessary..."
"Go quickly!" Penello stepped back half a step away from Ke Wen's hands, then pushed Ke Wen and said: "Since you are about to graduate, why not leave yourself the most profound memory? The principal is waiting for you, hurry up
Go, my warrior!"
Seeing the proud smile on Penello's face and the look of trust in the other person's eyes, Kewen suddenly put away his bitter smile, raised his hand and stroked Penello's head, and said softly: "Fight for you, my lady.
!”
"oh--"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter all around.
Penello was stunned for a moment, and then his pretty face suddenly turned red.
Passing the path vacated by his classmates, Kewen took a deep breath, straightened up and walked forward.
Amid fierce applause and cheers along the way, Kewen came to stand in front of Dumbledore...
