Chapter 299 A Different Goblet of Fire

【Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior】 【】

The learning atmosphere at Hogwarts has never been so strong. Even students who have not been selected to advance classes feel the pressure of studying.

"Everyone was lying down fine, why did they suddenly roll up?" Cassius said with a sad look on his face, "Have you heard that after graduating from the advanced class, there is a high probability that you can directly enter the Ministry of Magic."

Chrissy, who is a member of the advanced class, said, "Actually, those in the advanced class can enter the Ministry of Magic after graduating according to the normal process."

"Chris is right. Students who can enter the advanced class are very capable. Even without this advanced class, they can still find good jobs after graduation." Sean agreed.

"But originally the pressure came after graduation, but now the pressure has been brought forward, making it difficult for me to have fun." Cassius's thoughts are the same as those of most students.

Most students, after graduation, have mediocre abilities and poor magic skills, so even if they meet Death Eaters who also graduated from Hogwarts like them, they will feel scared and have no courage to resist.

It has been more than a month and a half since the start of the advanced class, and the students have only learned one magic. The basics of practical magic are seven or eight magic frameworks, which rarely seem simple, but this is for Sean.

Sean, who is exposed to more than a dozen magic frameworks at every turn, is different from ordinary students. Normal students learn simple magic in four or five frameworks in class.

This is actually the same as Sean's Ouroboros wizard who only teaches a magic in one or two months. This is the learning progress of ordinary wizards. If you learn too fast, something will happen.

On December 18, 1993, the Saturday before Christmas, the Daily Prophet published a piece of news about personnel changes in the Ministry of Magic.

"Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, was officially relieved of his position as Director on the 18th. After consultation with the Ministry of Magic, Piers Thicknesse, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, took over as Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation. .”

Harry read the news in the newspaper and glanced in the direction of the Slytherin table from time to time.

"I heard from my dad that Thicknesse is from Fudge's side." Ron whispered.

"They are all wearing a pair of trousers. Look how happy Umbridge is smiling." Hermione whispered in a low voice.

At the Slytherin table, Chrissy, who had blond hair and gracefully tore apart the bread and chewed it in small bites, was not affected by the news at all.

"I really didn't expect that Pierce Thicknesse would take over. This guy loves to put on airs." Sean commented.

Pierce, who had just taken office, was sitting in the director's office, enjoying the comfort of the leather chair when he suddenly sneezed.

"Director Thicknesse, French and Swedish foreign ministry personnel are here." The staff knocked on the door and came in to report.

On Pierce's first day in office, an important event came. He got up, touched his big back, and straightened his collar.

The arrival of the diplomats from the two countries had actually been arranged a month ago. Now that Old Batty has resigned, Pierce naturally went to receive them in a pretentious manner.

"Welcome everyone to come from afar. We have prepared fine wine and food. Let's have dinner first and then talk about business." Pierce said with a smile.

This Saturday, Hogwarts has started counting the number of students staying at school during the Christmas break. Since having godfather Sirius, Harry no longer has to look pitiful during every holiday.

"It's almost winter, why are there no reactions at all?" Sean looked at the two flowers and wondered. "Do we have to wait until next winter?"

At the Ministry of Magic, after Pierce invited the diplomats from both countries to have lunch, Dumbledore also came to the conference room.

"The Triwizard Tournament has been discontinued for the 59th time," a French diplomat said.

The Swedish diplomat corrected, "It's the 60th. It's held every five years. It's 300 years old. Come to think of it, it was too bloody in the Middle Ages, so it was stopped for three centuries."

"What do you two mean to resume the competition?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, this is a tradition since the founding of the school. It is a way of communication among young people jointly established by the three of us. The tradition cannot be lost."

"However, we can change the content and methods to put safety first and avoid further student deaths." said the French diplomat.

"Yes, we must put the safety of students first. We can no longer be as brutal and bloody as we were a few centuries ago." Pierce agreed.

Now that everything was said, Dumbledore couldn't find any reason to object. At that moment, the three parties passed the proposal to resume the Triwizard Tournament.

"However, on the premise of ensuring safety, should the competition be more entertaining? You must know that the previous competitions were bloody and violent, and they were very entertaining." A long-haired young man from France said.

If Sean saw this young man, he would definitely remember that he was one of the members of the tour group who was deceived by the fake Hamna Tower in Egypt during the summer vacation.

There was a Frenchman in the tour group at that time, the young man in front of him, and his identity was actually the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Babston Magic School in France.

"Babston is right. This is the first time in three centuries that the competition will be resumed. It must be held grandly and grandly." Durmstrang Magic School agreed.

"In the past competitions, the Goblet of Fire selected three contestants, which actually made it less competitive and enjoyable." Long-haired young man Bernard. Bosang said.

"I suggest that there can be more contestants, so that more students can be given opportunities."

"This suggestion can be adopted, and the danger of the levels in the competition can be reduced, but it should be diverse." Durmstrang said.

"It would be best if the three schools jointly design the levels."

Dumbledore had no objections to these proposals. They were all very good and very feasible.

"The specific content can be discussed later. Since the event is to be resumed, the venue and organizer should be selected first," Dumbledore said.

Upon hearing this, Pierce got excited. This was a good opportunity to gain performance. In addition, the impact of the epidemic two months ago had caused economic damage to the British wizarding world. Holding a large-scale event could also stimulate economic growth.

"In terms of time, the last one was held by Babston three centuries ago, and it should be Hogwarts' turn next," Pierce said.

Since the principals of the other two schools did not come, the final plan had to be reviewed repeatedly. On June 30, 1994, the three parties would sit together to finalize the final details.

The next day, Sunday, Dumbledore summoned 28 students from the advanced class to the auditorium and called Sean.

"I called you here today because of the Triwizard Tournament next school year." Dumbledore said.

"So soon?" Sean thought to himself. There are still more than nine months until the next school year. Besides, isn't the Goblet of Fire just for three schools to choose three people to participate.

The students were all very unfamiliar with the Triwizard Tournament. No one had heard of this competition, so Professor McGonagall explained from the sidelines.

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe."

"The three schools are Hogwarts, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each school selects a warrior and then competes in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years. The three schools take turns hosting.”

"But later, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."

When the students heard that such a dangerous game could lead to death, they looked at each other, thinking that Dumbledore would not want them to participate in such a terrible game.

However, Dumbledore's words broke Sean's understanding of the Goblet of Fire and made the students feel at ease.

"This time the Triwizard Tournament starts again after 300 years. The rules of the game have been greatly changed. Deaths are no longer allowed."

"The contestants are not limited to one person from each school. This time, each school will select them. A total of 30 people from the three schools will participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

"I think it is most appropriate for the 10 people sent by Hogwarts to be selected from your advanced class."

Dumbledore glanced at Sean and said, "Sorry, there are 9 people. Sean has already taken one spot."

"Huh? I'm going to participate in the Goblet of Fire?" Sean had been thinking about how to save Cedric who died in the Goblet of Fire when he was in first grade. Now, it's unknown whether Cedric can participate in the Goblet of Fire. .

After all, the current rules are that the Goblet of Fire no longer selects people, but the school. The people in the improvement class are all the top students in the upper grades, and Cedric doesn't have much advantage.

"Zhuo, I forgot, the Goblet of Fire won't start until next school year. The 16 seventh-grade students in the improvement class will have graduated by then. Penelo and his eight sixth-grade students plus Cedric and his four others will be the participants in the Goblet of Fire. Chosen among these 12 people.”
