Chapter 139 Confidentiality Agreement

Pushing the door open, Xielin stepped into the room.

It was a room full of wizard portraits. Many wizards were very old. When they saw Xielin coming in, they all got into the large picture frame in the middle and whispered to each other about Xielin's figure and appearance.

Eleanor noticed the movement and looked over, with an expression on her face that she had known it long ago, "It's you, Xielin, it seems that the day when I compete with you on the same stage will not be too long."

Xielin had accepted the reality and put down the burden in his heart. At this time, his eyes were full of confidence, "I will satisfy you when the time comes, Eleanor."

Katalin also came over with a look of surprise, "That's great, Mr. Malfoy, I didn't expect you to become a warrior of Hogwarts. It's my dream to compete with you on the same stage," Katalin then changed to a serious and serious tone and said: "Please make sure to go all out and let me see your 'real' strength!"

Xielin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, his eyes were full of inexplicable light.

The long-lost fighting spirit was burning in his chest.

My real strength?

Do you know that when I get serious, even I will feel scared!

He has indeed been suppressed for too long - since the incident of the Ghost Club attack, because of too many concerns, he can only rely on two alien allies to help him, and after that he obtained the inheritance of Hufflepuff and forged the magic of the three-in-one. Where is his strength, even he himself has no idea.

After a while, the door was pushed open again, and a figure walked in hesitantly.

The three warriors turned their heads and looked at Harry Potter who looked at them hesitantly.

Katalin thought he came in to pass on the message, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"What's the matter?" She asked, "Do they want us to go back to the hall?"

There was a flurry of footsteps from behind, and Ludovic Bagman walked into the room. He grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him forward.

"This is so bizarre!" Bagman said. "Absolutely bizarre! Allow me to introduce - incredible as it may seem - the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament!"

Eleanor straightened up, looked Harry up and down, then glanced at Shaylin, with a thoughtful expression.

Katalin shook her long hair and smiled. She said with some pride: "He can't compete, he's too young! - Of course, Mr. Malfoy is an exception. You can't think that everyone can be as good as Mr. Malfoy, right?"

"This is a bit difficult!" Bagman shook his head: "The age limit is an additional safety measure, which was only implemented this year. Since your name has been sprayed out of the Goblet of Fire... I mean, I think that since it has come to this point, you are not allowed to escape... The rules are very clear, you must abide by the rules... You must do your best to complete the game!"

The door was pushed open again, and a large group of people rushed in: Professor Dumbledore, followed by Mr. Crouch, Professor Karkaroff, Ms. Maxim, Professor Sprout, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. Before Professor McGonagall closed the door, hundreds of students buzzed in the hall next door.

"What on earth does that mean, Dumbledore?" Madam Maxime shouted arrogantly, her huge chest in black satin rising and falling violently.

"I want to know that, too, Dumbledore," said Professor Karkaroff, with a cold smile on his face and a pair of blue eyes as cold as ice. "Hogwarts has two champions? I don't remember anyone telling me that the host school can have two champions-have I not read the regulations carefully enough?"

"That's impossible," said Madam Maxime, her big hand with many gorgeous opals on Katalin's shoulder, "Hogwarts can't have two champions, it's extremely unfair."

"In our impression, your age line can exclude underage competitors. "Yes, Dumbledore," said Karkaroff, still wearing that cold smile on his face, and the coldness in his eyes deepened, "otherwise, we would certainly have brought more candidates from our school."

"Potter can only be blamed for this, Karkaroff," Snape said softly, his black eyes flashing with hostility, "Don't blame Dumbledore, blame Potter for his determination to break the rules. He has been breaking the rules since he came to the school-"

"Thank you, Severus." Dumbledore said firmly, and Snape closed his mouth, but his eyes still flashed maliciously through the greasy black hair.

Professor Dumbledore now looked down at Harry, and Harry looked at him.

"Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire, Harry?" he asked calmly.

"No." Harry said. Snape made an impatient sound of disbelief in the shadows.

"Did you ask the older students to help you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Professor Dumbledore ignored Snape and continued.

"No," said Harry vehemently.

"Oh, he must be lying!" cried Madame Maxime. Snape shook his head and pursed his lips.

"He can't possibly be over that age limit," snapped Professor McGonagall. "I'm sure we all agree on that -"

"Dumbledore must have got that line wrong," Madam Maxime said, shrugging. "At least I know - both Mr. Malfoys put their names in publicly."

Professor McGonagall was at a loss for words and could not speak.

Yes, two fourth graders cracked Dumbledore's magic, which was simply unbelievable in the eyes of Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Crouch...Mr. Bagman," Karkaroff said, his voice becoming smooth again, "you two are our - um - objective referees. You must also think that this matter is Extremely inappropriate, isn't it?"

Bagman wiped his chubby baby face with a handkerchief and looked at Mr. Crouch.

Mr. Crouch stood outside the light of the fire, his face half hidden in shadow. He looked a little weird. The black half made him look much older, almost like a skeleton. But when he spoke, his voice was as stiff as ever.

"We must abide by the charter. The charter clearly stipulates that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition."

"Hey, Barty knows the charter by heart." Bagman said, with a smile on his face, and looked back at Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim, as if the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

"Durmstrang will never participate in the next hegemonic tournament!" Karkaroff was furious. "We have had so many meetings and gone through so many negotiations and consultations. I never thought that something like this would happen again! I I just want to leave now!”

"A bluffing threat, Karkaroff!" growled a voice from the door. "You can't leave your champion now. She must play. They all must play. As Dumbledore said, this is influenced by It’s bound by a magical contract. It’s good for you, isn’t it?”

Moody just walked into the room. He limped toward the fire, and every time his right foot landed, there was a loud thump, thump, thump.

"Advantageous?" said Karkaroff. "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Moody."

Karkaroff tried hard to sound contemptuous, as if he didn't care at all about Moody's words, but his hands betrayed his inner feelings, and they clenched into fists involuntarily.

"Really?" Moody said softly, "It's simple, Karkaroff. Someone put Potter's name into that goblet, and he knew that if the name was spit out, Potter would have to play. I have a feeling that the person who put this boy's name into the goblet must be a clever wizard..."

"Oh, what evidence do you have for this?" Ms. Maxim asked, raising her two big hands.

"Because they deceived a very powerful magical object!" Moody said. "To blind the goblet and make it forget that there are only three schools participating in the competition, it requires a particularly powerful confusion spell... I I guess they must have registered Potter's name as a student from the fourth school and made sure he was the only candidate from that school..."

Karkaroff mocked this and almost got into a fight with Moody.

"How this situation came about, none of us know," Dumbledore said to everyone gathered in the room, "but it seems to me that we have no choice but to accept it. Harry and Sherrin were both Selected to participate in the competition, they must abide by the rules of the Goblet of Fire and give their best in the competition.”

"Okay, let's continue?" Bagman said, rubbing his hands and looking at the people in the room with a smile, "We are going to give guidance to our warriors, right? Barty, it's up to you. Bar?"

Mr. Crouch seemed suddenly to snap out of his reverie. "The first project is to test your courage, so we are not going to tell you what it is. Dare to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards. The first project will be carried out on November 24th. Complete in front of other students and the judges. When completing the competition, the warrior is not allowed to ask for or accept any help from his teacher. When the warrior faces the first round of challenges, the only weapon in his hand is his own wand. They will only learn about the second project after the project is over. Because the competition is very demanding and long-lasting, the warriors will not take the school year exam.”

Mr. Crouch turned to Dumbledore. "I guess that's all, Albus?"

"Yes, nothing was missed," said Dumbledore.

"Wait a minute, professor, I have something else to do." Xie Lin suddenly said.

Dumbledore looked at Sherrin in confusion.

Schelling said: "Mr. Crouch said that daring to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards. However, I read a lot of information about the previous Triwizard Tournament and found that there are endless cheating methods. Everyone who understands the content of the competition The school professors are rushing to tell their students the content of the test. I think this is very bad and must be stopped, otherwise there will be no competition. "

A shrewd light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he stared at Sherlin and said, "What do you mean..."

"Actually, it's very simple. It's better to make a contract with magic. Anyone who knows the relevant content of the competition is not allowed to inform any warriors in any way. If there is an idea of ​​leaking the secret, they will be bound by the magic in the contract and cannot move. The contract says The magic will last until the end of the Triwizard Tournament." After saying that, Xie Lin showed a smile that didn't deserve a beating.

No one knows better than him how bad this tournament is. For example, before the first match - the dragon, every warrior knew what their match was about.

Ms. Maxime and Professor Karkaroff looked a little unnatural.

Ms. Maxime said, "It shouldn't be that serious."

Professor Karkaroff said, "The Triwizard Tournament has been going on for so many years, and there is no need to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Dumbledore looked at Bagman and Crouch, who nodded in agreement. Three of the five judges agreed, and Ms. Maxime and Professor Karkaroff could only accept it helplessly.

Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and a piece of parchment appeared, hanging in the air. The tip of the wand shone, and dense words quickly formed on the parchment, which contained various confidentiality agreements. After reading them, everyone present thought that this contract had taken all aspects into consideration.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the golden names made of magic were imprinted on the parchment; then Maxim, Karkaroff, McGonagall, Bagman, Snape, Hagrid, Flitwick, Sprout; and finally the four warriors who participated in the competition.

After everything was done, the parchment was ignited by the sudden blue flame and burned clean in mid-air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone seemed to have a rope in their hearts, reminding them not to do anything that violated the contract.

In view of many readers' comments that they did not know the official personality of Helbo, the author modified the "Nightmare Warning in Chapter 42". Those who are interested can go back and take a look.

x-on:Asian Sky Eye Club, recently Dian Niang swallowed several of my replies, and I wanted to answer you about Draco. I want to say that the author's brain is normal and will not write a tragic ending of fan fiction, let alone touch the thunder of Draco's death. (If you see it, please reply. If you don't see it, I will think you are reading a pirated version, haha)
