After Albert successfully subdued the fire dragon and got the golden egg, the first person who rushed into the venue was not the dragon tamer, but a wizard who was dressed very extravagantly. He looked like a reporter because there was a wizard with a camera following him.
Albert saw a familiar figure behind the wizard. Mr. Mog was standing at the entrance of the venue and waving at him.
"Please stand in front of the dragon so I can take a close-up of you."
The wizard grabbed Albert's hand and said hello to the photographer next to him, "Take a photo for us first."
Albert pulled his hand back with disgust, trying to maintain a smile on his face, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I almost forgot." The wizard introduced himself, "My name is Mike Dabo, the general manager of the Fengya brand wizard clothing store. Nice to meet you, Mr. Albert Anderson."
"Hello, Mr. Dabo."
When Albert saw Mog, he vaguely guessed who this extravagantly dressed wizard in front of him was.
"If you want me to cooperate with you in taking photos, let the dragon trainer knock out the dragon first. I don't want to turn my back on a dangerous dragon."
"You're right. It's always better to be cautious." Dabo put his arm around Albert's shoulders and said, "I've already discussed this with the dragon trainers."
Albert felt uncomfortable all over. He used the excuse of saying hello to Mog to break free from Dabo's arms, but that guy was not as strong as Albert.
"Well, I told you that you won't suffer any loss." After Mog greeted Albert, he smiled and said to Mike Dabo, "You can't cut corners on your advertising costs."
"Of course not," said Mike Dabo cheerfully.
"Time is limited, we'd better take the photos as soon as possible and not cause trouble for others."
"You're right." Mike Dabo greeted the dragon trainers and took Albert over to take pictures.
Observing the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon up close, Albert felt that this guy was more dangerous than he had expected. It was about 20 feet long, just like a small mountain. If possible, Albert would never stand in front of a fire dragon at close range, let alone turn his back to a living fire dragon.
However, there is a group of dragon trainers standing by his side to ensure that the fire dragon will not suddenly wake up and kill him.
Albert stood in front of the fire dragon, with the fallen Swedish short-nosed dragon as the background, a lion lying at his feet, an eagle that was shrunk by the shrinking spell squatting on his shoulder, a golden egg in his hand, and a confident smile facing the camera in front of him. The picture was frozen in the camera.
"It's perfect, I think the girls are going to go crazy for you."
Mike Dabo said in a grandiose tone, "I believe this will be more effective than advertising at the World Cup."
In Mike Dabo's opinion, Albert is simply a living legend, and he is handsome enough. He has decided to hang the photo he just took in the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
After taking a few photos in succession, Albert took the golden egg and followed them out of the venue, no longer causing trouble for the dragon trainers.
Of course, Mike Dabo also gave some benefits to the dragon trainers, allowing them to buy customized fire-proof clothes at the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store at a relatively low price.
The dragon trainers naturally had no objections. It was only a few minutes after all, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon had already been subdued by Albert.
The referees in the stands didn't care at all. They were gathered together, whispering about Albert's performance.
"You did a great job. I'm sure Poppy will be very pleased that you don't need to use the medical tent." Professor McGonagall walked towards Albert, with an unconcealed smile on her usually serious face. "Go, your friends must be waiting anxiously."
Albert looked past Professor McGonagall and saw Isobel and Katrina coming towards him.
“Very handsome.”
Isobel walked quickly to Albert and hugged him with open arms.
The dragon egg slipped from Albert's fingertips and fell to the ground. He put his arms around Isobel and kissed her on the lips.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who had hurried over, whistled, and the other girls giggled unnaturally.
The cameraman next to Mike Dabo wanted to take a picture of this scene, but was stopped by Mog, who raised his hand. He shook his head at Mike Dabo, signaling him not to do that. Given Albert's character, if Mike Dabo dared to take his private photos as a collaborator, there would be no room for negotiation between the two parties, and the fragile cooperative relationship would definitely collapse.
Do you really think Albert is just a child
Look at the unfortunate Rita Skeeter. Why didn't even she dare to make trouble with Albert's news? She was a woman who caused great headaches for the British Ministry of Magic.
After an unknown amount of time, the two separated again. A blush appeared on Isobel's face. She whispered, "Don't do such risky things in the future. You really scared me just now."
"Don't worry, I never do anything without confidence." Albert comforted him softly.
"Of course I have confidence in you, but I'm still very worried." Isobel knew Albert's character very well, and knew that Albert paid great attention to protecting himself, but having confidence and not worrying are two different things.
"You are the best one indeed."
"You easily subdued a fire dragon by yourself. You probably don't know that the girls in the stands are crazy about you."
"I bet this is something that will be talked about for years."
After Albert and Isobel separated, Fred, George and Lee Jordan came forward to greet him, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm, and handed the golden eggs that had fallen on the ground back to him.
"Okay, you see I'm almost blushing because of your praise." Albert joked with a smile.
"I think they're going to give you a grade, and I'm sure they'll give you a perfect score."
Sana, Angelina and Alia also came over. If Isobel hadn't been here, they would definitely go up and give Albert a kiss.
"Let's go back to the stands!"
Albert took the golden egg from George and led Isobel towards the stands, leaving behind a group of girls with envious looks on their faces.
Katrina stared at the two men's departing backs expressionlessly, and followed them towards the stands.
Albert subdued the fire dragon, and it didn't take the dragon tamer much time to get rid of it.
The referees had already discussed the result, and the scoring had already begun when Albert went to the stands.
The first judge to score the warriors was Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. She raised her wand and a silver ribbon sprayed out from the tip of the wand, twisting in mid-air to form a big "10".
Madame Maxime actually knew Albert's strength a long time ago and was still hoping for a lucky break. However, when she saw Albert easily subdued a fire dragon in just a few minutes, she chose to give up the futile struggle and lay down, giving Albert a full score.
There was no way. Guy's series of outrageous actions in the last magic school potion championship cast a shadow over Beauxbatons, and the reputation of Beauxbatons School suddenly became much worse.
So, Madame Maxime decided to be more generous. At least no one would say that Beauxbatons had any fairness issues in the competition.
As for Guy's matter, it was a private matter and the school knew nothing about it.
Madame Maxime had no idea about this
Of course not, but as long as we find a good excuse and save everyone's face, it will be fine.
Whether it was Crouch, Dumbledore, or Bagman, they all gave Albert a ten point score.
Then, only Karkaroff was left to be graded.
Under the watchful eyes of several referees, he gave Albert 1 point.
Yes, 1 point.
As for the reasons, Karkaroff had already thought of them.
Albert's fire dragon suit obviously violated the fairness of the game and was very unfair to other warriors.
After the big "1" appeared, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly stagnated, and even the referees around looked at Karkarov with strange eyes.
Bagman looked at the "1" and his face fell. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard loud boos from the surrounding stands, followed by a barrage of curses: words like "eating shit", "shameless", "shameless" and so on resounded throughout the audience.
Just as Karkaroff was about to explain why he gave it a score of 1, he was interrupted by a few flying boots.
No one knew who took the lead in throwing things at the referee's seat. More and more students threw garbage, dung bombs, and all kinds of things at Karkaroff, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Even the Durmstrang students in the audience couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, not knowing what to say.
Karkaroff's actions shamed them.
Even students from other schools admired Albert for subduing a fire dragon single-handedly, and the whole process only took a few minutes.
Even if Karkaroff was thrown onto the field, he couldn't achieve this level.
"Oh, dear." Bagman glanced at Karkaroff with great disapproval and said sarcastically, "The audience is obviously pissed off by the unfair ratings."
Madame Maxime also looked at Karkaroff with a complicated expression. She actually guessed that Karkaroff would lower Albert's score.
In fact, this is everyone's tacit understanding, to lower the scores of other warriors as much as possible, but this kind of thing also requires scoring. If everyone gave it ten points, what does it mean if you gave 1 point
If it was just an ordinary Warrior, Karkaroff's behavior wouldn't be a big deal. After all, a low score wouldn't matter. At most, it would cause dissatisfaction among Warriors supporters. He could just find a reason to cover it up. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, what would happen
But Mr. Anderson is clearly an exception. Have you really not noticed how popular he is
Madame Maxime suspected that Karkaroff had a problem with his brain and really couldn't understand the situation. Why should he make his reputation even worse
However, no one went out of their way to correct him, as Karkaroff probably wouldn't listen anyway.
In fact, it was not that Karkaroff couldn't listen, but he never thought that he would hit a wall, and he didn't expect that Albert had a large group of supporters.
Fans are never a rational group, especially a group of girls, who would not listen to Karkaroff's reasons, especially when other referees gave full marks, the girls would not allow their warriors to be treated unfairly. So, led by someone, they started throwing things to express their protest.
With the girls taking the lead in protesting, others also joined in. They didn't care what the other referees felt. Anyway, Karkaroff's outrageous behavior annoyed most of the students at Hogwarts. They believed that Albert should get full marks.
In fact, Albert should have received full marks for subduing the fire dragon at the fastest speed and completing the first task without any injury.
"Oh, my goodness, my goodness!" Bagman shouted at the top of his voice. "Please remain calm and listen to Mr. Karkaroff's reasoning for giving such a grade!"
Bagman's proposal was obviously malicious.
Karkaroff's face was particularly gloomy, and he said loudly: "The fire dragon suit that Mr. Albert is wearing obviously violates the fair principle of the competition and is very unfair to other warriors."
"Bullshit fairness! You are the least qualified to say that."
I don't know who shouted, but I saw an evil curse flying towards the referee's seat.
Everyone paused and raised their wands, throwing curses at Karkaroff in the referee's seat.
This guy really disgusted them.
Bagman was shocked by the students' crazy behavior. If he was hit by such a large number of evil curses, he would probably be carried directly to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Fortunately, Dumbledore waved his wand in time and used defensive magic to protect the referee's seat, otherwise the referee's seat would most likely have been blown away by this wave of evil curses.
The scene of a large number of evil curses exploding outside the barrier was so spectacular that even the barrier set up by Dumbledore was cracked.
If there is another wave, I really won’t be able to hold on.
"Well, even the Quidditch World Cup didn't have such a riot. How are we going to clean up the mess now?" Bagman glanced at Karkaroff, whose face was livid, and spread his hands towards Dumbledore to indicate that he was powerless.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Dumbledore shouted angrily. He had not expected the situation to get out of control. Not only did the students of Hogwarts throw things at the referee's seat, but they even threw curses at them. At least a hundred people did that.
The main reason was that Albert had too many supporters. After Fred, George and Lee Jordan secretly took the lead in throwing magic at Karkaroff, the girls were also led to join in the fun, venting their dissatisfaction, and also brought along other people who were dissatisfied with Karkaroff.
After all, it was annoying enough that the Slytherin Quidditch team used all means to win in the game. Now, in the match between schools, there are still people who dare to do so blatantly and find such an excuse. Are they treating them as fools
However, Dumbledore's roar was of no use, as a second wave of curses followed, directly blowing the referee's seat away.
As for the other referees, they were taken away by Dumbledore using Apparition.
"Did you film that scene just now?"
Rita Skeeter was shaking with excitement. "I dare say this has never happened before. The referee of the Triwizard Tournament is questioned and boycotted by all students. This will definitely become the hottest topic."
