Chapter 389: Welcome to the Top 3 Competition

Chapter 389 Welcome to the Triwizard Tournament

Coupled with the fact that Wood graduated last year, there is no more talk about Wood around everyone. He prefers to rely on strength, rather than relying on the advantage of the broom, to win Quidditch matches.

After giving up the Firebolt, let his mind relax, and the whole person becomes relaxed and happy. Unfortunately, there will be no Quidditch matches this year. His preparations, as well as the Nimbus 2000 that Ron obtained, can only be put on the shelf for the time being.

When Harry and the others walked through the foyer, they found a large group of students crowded on the marble staircase, watching an announcement.

Seeing the excitement, Ron had already stepped up his pace and ran over. He tiptoed over the heads of the crowd, and read the words on the announcement aloud to everyone.

"The Triwizard Tournament, a delegation from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, will arrive at Hogwarts on Friday, October 30th at 6pm. The afternoon session will end early to welcome the two countries delegation."

"That's great." Harry said happily, unable to contain his joy, "Friday afternoon was Snape's Potions class, he was going to poison us, but now he has no chance. ."

Snape was teaching them to make the antidote recently, either to make the antidote quicker for the students, or to see more fear and anxiety in the students.

Snape had announced in advance in class that he would poison the students that day, and they had to use their own antidote to rescue themselves, or else they would suffer.

Hermione was also very happy, although she believed that she could definitely make an antidote, but no one wanted to be poisoned.

Neville stammered with joy, repeating, "Great... great, great." He danced, too excited to speak.

He was the most likely person to have been poisoned by Snape. And he can be sure that he will not be able to concoct a suitable antidote by then, and he will be tortured madly by Snape. He has been worried about this matter, and worried like crazy, but he didn't expect this to pass.

Ron squeezed back from the announcement. With a smile on his face, he couldn't contain his joy, and said happily, "We will all go to greet the delegations of the two countries, and then attend the dinner party. It will definitely be on the weekend. There are more banquets."

"It's only a week away," said Hufflepuff's Ernie McMillan, his eyes sparkling in anticipation, as he squeezed out of the crowd, "the Triwizard Tournament will begin soon. , I don't know if Cedric knows, I have to tell him.

"

Saying that, Ernie quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

"Cedric." Luo asked blankly, he had no impression of the name at all.

"Cedric Diggory, he is the Quidditch Seeker for the Hufflepuff team." Zhang Qiu reminded in a low voice, "He has already said that he intends to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

"Just him? That idiot, he also wants to be a Hogwarts warrior." Ron said with a look of disdain.

In his mind, the representative of Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, of course, the best is George. No matter how bad it is, it must be an honor student who cannot be worse than Percy. Otherwise, he and Harry might as well go to the Triwizard Tournament.

As they spoke, they pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the academy.

"He's not bad. You can't compare him to George. He's also a very good student and a prefect." Hermione knew about most of the top students in the academy.

Last year Cedric was still leading Hufflepuff's team to a victory over Gryffindor. This put Gryffindor in a very unfavorable situation, and even if they fought to catch up, they finally had to share last year's Quidditch championship with Slytherin.

"A lucky idiot," Ron said disapprovingly, shaking his head. "It's better for me and Harry to choose him." He was still bitter about the results of last year's Quidditch Cup. If it wasn't for Hufflepuff, how could they have been shared by Slytherin to win the Quidditch Cup.

 …

This announcement broke the silence of the academy. The students were suddenly awakened as if they were in heavy study, and everyone fell into the influence of this announcement.

Even George, who didn't care about this matter, had to repeat all the information about the Triwizard Tournament every day.

For the next period of time, he found that wherever he went, he would hear these messages repeatedly.

Whether it's in the classroom, or in the hallway, or in the break room, or even in dueling clubs and mutual aid societies.

People will always discuss the topic of the Triwizard Tournament in their spare time between classes. All kinds of rumors, like bamboo shoots after the rain, are constantly passed on among the students, growing and developing rapidly.

Perhaps because of the hard work of the divination class, they even made up a completely vivid, specific all the rules and stories of the Triwizard Tournament.

George had to admire their rich imagination. Speaking of which, the divination class was very useful as a course for teaching people to make up stories. The students' imagination and ability to make up stories have indeed been greatly improved.

However, more people's attention is still on Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, what is the difference between these two magic academy students and them.

The students are looking forward to the next two delegations more than the Quidditch match, the Academy Cup, and the next two delegations.

Not only the students, but the whole castle, the whole of Hogwarts also began to look forward to a major celebration that hadn't been seen in a long time, to the delegations of both countries.

These days, Hogwarts is going through a complete housecleaning.

No corner was spared, even the filthy portraits were scrubbed clean, and the scrubbed filthy figures were very unhappy about it.

They huddled up and sat in the photo frame, shouting loudly that they were the old residents of the academy and should not be treated like this. However, no one cared about these guys who didn't like cleanliness. The foreign embassies came. At this time, they didn't have the right to not like cleanliness.

Even the old armors were polished, oiled, and no longer creaking when they moved.

Filch, the janitor, was moving through the corridors more lively than usual. As soon as he found out that the students forgot to clean their shoes, he immediately became furious and yelled at them, and several first-year freshmen were scared to cry by him.

Teachers in the academy are also very nervous, welcoming foreign delegations and holding major events that have not been successful for hundreds of years. For everyone, it is a novel experience, a very important thing.
