Neville Longbottom fainted from hearing the screams of a poisonous spider in Moody's class.
Then, Moody used a 'killing curse' to end the poisonous spider's screams, and then sent Neville to the medical service.
From then on, the students at Hogwarts knew two things.
When Moody's back is turned to you, his magic eyes can still see you. The Explosive Demon who was hung upside down for a whole class is proof of this.
Also, in Moody's class, you must not offend him, otherwise he will make you deeply understand what the Unforgivable Curse is.
A week has passed, and when it is time to reveal who is the contestant, the hall is packed with all the teachers and students present.
"Everyone, please take a seat. We have been waiting for a long time at this moment. The selection of warriors begins."
Dumbledore waved his hand to dim the firelight in the hall so that everyone could focus on the Goblet of Fire.
As Dumbledore activated the Goblet of Fire, the purple flame turned red, and a piece of parchment flew out, returning to its original shape while burning.
"The warrior of Durmstrang Academy of Magic is Viktor Krum!"
Cheers rang out. Whether it was students from Durmstrang Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry or Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they all cheered together with the students from Hogwarts, as if they themselves had become warriors and participated in the game.
Soon, another piece of parchment jumped out. When Dumbledore got it, he knew it was a girl from France because the parchment was cut into petals.
"Next is... Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Fleur Delacour."
Dumbledore turned his head and looked over. There were flowers everywhere, and the most beautiful girl among them stood up.
Fleur Delacour shook hands with Dumbledore politely, and then walked to the back lounge to wait.
The third piece of parchment flew out immediately. If there were no mistakes, this would be the last list of warriors tonight.
"The Champion of Hogwarts is, Cedric Diggory."
The most handsome Hogwarts student is of course Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory, but I didn't expect that his magic level could be so high that he was recognized by the Goblet of Fire.
"Great! We have selected three warriors, but in the end, only one will be recorded in history, and he will lift the championship trophy, which is the symbol of victory, the Triwizard Champions Cup!"
Dumbledore spoke words of encouragement. As the headmaster, it was his responsibility to increase students' interest in the game.
At the professor's chair, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of Magical International Cooperation, held out a trophy and then unveiled the cover.
The trophy was so beautiful and sparkling. When everyone looked at the trophy, some people noticed something unusual.
The flames of the Goblet of Fire unexpectedly rose again, changing from purple to red, and then a piece of parchment flew out.
"Harry Potter! Harry Potter?"
Dumbledore was a little panicked. What happened to the fourth warrior? Someone was playing tricks on the age circle, but he didn't notice it.
Harry Potter was pushed out by his classmates. After all, Dumbledore was looking for him now.
Harry Potter and Dumbledore looked at each other speechless. This situation should not happen.
The parchment jumped out, so Harry Potter was naturally one of the warriors. When he got the parchment with obviously not his own handwriting, ten thousand alpacas ran through Harry Potter's heart.
All the way to the lounge at the back, everyone was indifferent to him. Only Professor McGonagall patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
And what’s with Alastor Moody’s encouraging eyes! What's with that "I'm very optimistic about you" expression
Arriving in the lounge, when the other three warriors saw him, they also looked like they had seen a ghost.
Suddenly, the Goblet of Fire ignited again, the purple flame turned red, and another piece of parchment jumped out.
Dumbledore was shocked, and everyone was shocked. This Goblet of Fire couldn't be broken! This is his fifth picture.
"Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...Gabriel Delacour."
Dumbledore knew about this girl. She was one of the two favorite girls at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a sister to Fleur, which meant that there was another warrior under the age of 17.
"Dumbledore! What's going on?"
The tall half-giant headmistress stood up. If Harry Potter became a warrior, she would think that Hogwarts was cheating, but even her students chose a second one. This situation was too weird.
"Go to the back first, kid."
Dumbledore didn't know what to say. Obviously, this Triwizard Tournament would become a huge joke, and it was Hogwarts who hosted this joke. This would go down in history!
Yes, as Dumbledore just said, Hogwarts will go down in history, in a joke way.
"There won't be another Durmstrang warrior, will there?"
Some of the students around started talking. Two people from Hogwarts and Beauxbatons had been selected. Then a piece of Durmstrang's parchment popped up. It made sense!
After hearing this, Igor Karkaroff pushed away the professors and students in front of him and rushed directly to the Goblet of Fire. But before he could do anything, the Goblet of Fire ignited again. Swelling, the flames turned from purple to red, and a piece of parchment fell on his face, as if mocking him.
"Durmstrang Academy of Magic, Stanislav Ivanesch."
Igor Karkaroff was trembling with anger, and his student was also selected. This matter could no longer be explained clearly.
Then the only explanation is that the Goblet of Fire was broken, and it was broken while in the custody of the Ministry of Magic.
The Goblet of Fire threw out the sixth piece of parchment, and after a while it started to form signs of a surge again.
"Untouched!"
A magic hit the Goblet of Fire directly, and everything stopped. The flames stood still in the air like a solid, and the flames extended like trees.
"Regulus! If you attack the Goblet of Fire like this, you may be cursed by an ancient curse."
Dumbledore saw Regulus Black retract his wand. Even he couldn't stop the Goblet of Fire just now, but he didn't expect Regulus to do it.
"This spell only prohibits the flow of time and will not hinder the operation of the Goblet of Fire. However, if we cannot find the answer, then the real big problem will be."
Regulus Black's words were unclear, but Dumbledore still understood. God knows how many pieces of parchment will pop up from behind the Goblet of Fire. No one knows, and the parchment that was put into the Goblet of Fire, just look at it. How many are there
"Can you tell me how many students in your respective schools have invested in parchment?"
Regulus Black turned to look at the other two principals.
"What do you mean?"
Madame Maxime frowned and asked, obviously she didn't understand the problem.
"We assume that the Goblet of Fire is still fair, and also assume that the Goblet of Fire will throw out all the lists of one of the colleges, then the smallest number of lists among them will be one-third of the total number that may be thrown out in the end."
Hogwarts students definitely throw in the most parchments, so let’s see which one of the other two houses throws out the least parchments.
This matter was easy and the two principals immediately investigated it.
"Let the students go back to their dormitories first!"
Regulus Black said to Dumbledore, these children around are preparing to wait for the results! I didn't expect Regulus to drive them away, but this matter could not be ignored by Dumbledore's order.
All students at Hogwarts have returned to their dormitories, and students from the other two schools have also returned to their residences. The results of the two principals' respective investigations will soon be available.
"Director Barty Crouch, could you please inform the Ministry of Magic and let people from the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters handle this matter?"
Regulus Black has done his duty and is ready to be the hands-off boss.
"Regulus! I know about your matter, and I know you must have a way to solve it. Only after we confirm that there is really no way to solve this matter can we finally notify people from the Accident and Disaster Department to handle it."
Barty Crouch looked at Regulus with a pleading look on his face. This old face made people uncomfortable.
yes! Political life is more important than anything else. If something like this happened, it would be fine just because his son was a Death Eater and he announced his separation from the relationship and was transferred. I'm afraid the Ministry of Magic would no longer have a relationship with Barty Crouch.
