Chapter 137 Fire Cup Ceremony

Soon, all the students were seated.

The faculty came in, and they filed to the guest of honor and sat down. The last to walk were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff, and Madam Maxime.

The students of Beauxbatons stood up as soon as they saw their headmaster. Several Hogwarts students couldn't help laughing. But the students of Beauxbatons didn't seem embarrassed at all, and they didn't sit down again until Madam Maxime sat down on Dumbledore's left.

Dumbledore stood all the time, and the conversation in the hall gradually decreased and finally quieted down.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests," Dumbledore said, smiling at the foreign students, "I welcome you to Hogwarts with great joy. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here."

A girl from Beauxbatons still had her head tightly wrapped in a scarf, and uttered a sneer that was undoubtedly sarcastic.

Xielin looked at the girl who sneered and frowned.

Eleanor, who had been staring at Xielin, could not help but be attracted by Xielin's gaze and looked back at where Xielin was looking.

She turned her head and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Malfoy, you are not interested in her, are you? She seems very special!"

Xielin saw that the girl had magical fluctuations that did not belong to humans - the fluctuations were very frequent, and gave people a sensitive, impatient and changeable feeling.

This is probably Fleur Delacour, the first beauty in the original book. Only the blood of Veela can explain this special magical fluctuation.

However, what made Xielin frown was actually another female student sitting next to Fleur.

When Xielin's eyes swept over her, he almost thought he saw a sword!

The magic on her body was like a sharp sword with a flashing cold light, very sharp. Xielin could feel a slight stinging sensation in his eyeballs just by casually sweeping over her.

Rather than saying she is a wizard, it is better to say she is a warrior!

Xie Lin still remembers seeing a similar description in the Silver Spear Duel record that Sister Gulana gave him. The literature once recorded a duelist who exuded a sharp meaning all over his body, and all the spells he cast had extremely strong penetrating power. For example, he once used the most common cutting spell to penetrate an armor spell, a steel shield behind the armor spell, and the steel armor on the person holding the steel shield.

The person holding the steel shield almost died on the spot, and his chest seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, even his heart was exposed.

What kind of cutting spell is this! This is obviously sword energy, okay?

The author who recorded this duel also specially gave this unknown duelist a name for his talent-"Born Sword Heart".

Xie Lin guessed that this was an extremely rare blood talent.

He had seen quite a few blood talents, but only this blood talent was completely and purely born for fighting.

This is a natural warrior!

Shaylin couldn't help but smile, although there wasn't much smile in his eyes.

First it was Mad Eye Moody, then Draco, now Eleanor, and this Swordheart Wizard - he didn't think that the appearance of these people was all coincidence.

His eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. In that case, let him take a good look at what these monsters who suddenly appeared are up to.

"The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet." Dumbledore said, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you can, just like at home!"

He sat down, and Karkaroff immediately came forward to talk to him.

Shaylin had never seen a Hogwarts dinner, which could have such a sumptuous dish, with a variety of dishes placed in front of them, and some of them were definitely foreign.

"What is that?" Goyle asked, pointing to a large plate of something next to a large steak and kidney pudding, which looked like a seafood stew.

"French bouillabaisse." Draco said proudly, "My servants can make it. It tastes delicious, not bad."

Polyarco grabbed a big chicken leg in a very unpresentable manner and began to eat and drink, spilling a lot of soup on his robes, but he didn't care at all.

"Delicious! Delicious!" He said vaguely, "The food at Hogwarts is much better than ours, and you can't eat it at Durmstrang."

Just then, a voice said, "Excuse me, are you still eating this bouillabaisse?"

Shaelin raised his head suddenly.

This is not right! Doesn't this plot belong to Fleur and Ron?

When he saw the person coming, Shaelin's expression was quite wonderful-she was not Fleur, definitely not.

Although Shaelin had never seen a real Veela in this life, he clearly remembered that Fleur's hair was beautiful bright silver.

The girl in front of him, like Fleur, took off the scarf wrapped around her head, revealing a striking burgundy hair.

It must be explained here that the word redhead in English was invented in the 12th century. Here, redhead actually describes the orange color similar to orange. The Wesley family's so-called family of children with red hair actually refers to the orange hair color.

At that time, the word orange was always used to describe fruit, and it was not until the end of the 15th century that it began to be commonly used to describe color.

True naturally red hair does not exist in the scientific community. It was already extinct at least in 1991, because red hair is a recessive gene. It can be said to be extinct due to the dilution of genes from generation to generation.

Although there are methods of dyeing hair in the wizarding world, it is not common. Wizards prefer to maintain their natural hair color, as if it is a symbol of some kind of status.

The girl in front of her has burgundy hair, just like the color of the magic stone in Xie Lin's arms - in the wizarding world, there is only one family with this kind of hair color!

One of the 12 families of the Holy Blood in France, the Moreau family.

The Monro family is a famous super noble in France, and its status is comparable to that of the Malfoy family in Great Britain. Coincidentally, the direct descendants of this family are also very thin, and they have been passed down by a single line for centuries.

Xie Lin was no stranger to French pure-blood families, but when he saw the determination exuding from the girl in front of him, he was a little confused.

He had never heard of any precedent for the Monroe family to awaken the power of blood. Not to mention the rare blood talent of innate sword heart.

Daphne and Astoria thought Sherin was fascinated by each other's beauty, so they snorted dissatisfiedly.

Eleanor laughed out loud, "Hey, Mr. Malfoy, it's very ungentlemanly to be in a daze when a lady makes a request to you!"

Xie Lin came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I was distracted for a moment - we have finished this plate of fish soup, let me help you carry it over!"

"Okay, thank you." The girl's voice was low and magnetic, which sounded very comfortable.

Sherin picked up the plate and carefully followed her to her seat at the Ravenclaw table.

After the girl sat down, she showed a sweet smile and said, "Sir, thank you again for your warm hospitality. I am Katarina from the Monroe family. Just call me Katalin. I haven't asked you yet." name is?"

Xie Lin lowered his head slightly and said gracefully: "I am Malfoy, Xie Lin Malfoy."

"Ah, you are Xuelin!" Katalin seemed a little surprised. "Did you know that you also have many fans in Beauxbatons? I didn't expect you to be so young! I'm here to visit Hogwart. Now, one of my goals is to meet you!"

In response to the enthusiasm shown by the girl, Xie Lin chose to reply calmly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you very much for your appreciation. I'm just a little lucky. I still have a lot to learn. Well, I'll go back now. I hope You can enjoy this meal happily.”

When Xie Lin returned to his seat, Draco smiled and said to Xie Lin: "Look at your expression, you are not interested in others, are you?" He paused and continued: "That girl is really extraordinary! I guess She is the heir of this generation of the Monroe family, and she is worthy of our Malfoy family!"

My brother, do you think I am a stallion?

Xie Lin couldn't deny it and said with a smile: "Draco, you are thinking too much. I think the girls at Hogwarts are very good." After saying that, he also pointed in the direction of Daphne and Astoria. I took a few glances.

Both girls smiled at him.

Eleanor interrupted at this time. She smiled and said: "It seems that, Mr. Malfoy, you are quite popular with girls!" She lowered her voice and said meaningfully: "Four long tables, each with a long There are so many plates of French fish soup on the table, why did she choose the one in front of you? "

Xie Lin actually thought of this, but he chose to sit on the sidelines and not say anything.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and before they knew it, the plates on the table were empty.

Dumbledore stood up and introduced the two distinguished guests who had arrived - Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation, and Ludovic Bagman, Director of the Department of Sports. There was sparse applause in the auditorium.

"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly over the past few months to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued. "They will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Mark Together with Ms. Sim, we formed a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors.”

Dumbledore asked Filch to bring the Goblet of Fire to the podium and announced the rules of the Triwizard Tournament: three warriors, each representing a school, and the warriors were selected by the Goblet of Fire themselves; three challenging events , each project can be scored according to the completion status; the warrior with the highest cumulative score in the end will receive the Goblet of Fire!

"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. The registration time is only twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night, that is, On Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of the three students it believes best represent the three schools. Tonight, the Goblet will be placed in the foyer and will be accessible to all students who wish to participate in the campaign.”

"In order to prevent underage students from being tempted, once the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this age line."

"Finally, I would like to remind every student who is going to participate in the election that this competition is not a joke, and you must not participate rashly. Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the competition. Whoever casts his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. Therefore, please think twice and make sure that you really want to participate in the competition before casting your name into the cup. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night, everyone."

"Age line!" Draco said, his eyes sparkling, he turned to look at Xielin, "Xielin, you will sign up, right?"

Xielin shrugged and spread his hands, "Who knows? The headmaster's age line may not be so easy to fool..."

The two brothers looked at each other and showed a tacit expression at the same time.
