Chapter 697 Can I Touch Your Trophy?

After giving Krum a few words of encouragement, Bagman invited the warriors to come to the podium.

Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Maxim were already waiting there, and Fudge took Crouch's place as the fifth referee of the game.

After the warriors stood up, several referees discussed in low voices for a while. Taking into account Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's face problems, they finally unanimously decided to omit the scoring process and announce the results directly.

The ugly expressions on Maxim and Karkaroff's faces softened a little.

"Next, let us reveal the final results of the warriors!" After the discussion, Bagman cleared his throat, walked to the stage, and shouted loudly.

"First, the first place, the final winner of this Triwizard Tournament, the warrior of Hogwarts - Mr. Ivan Hals!"

"Let's cheer him!"

After Bagman finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly erupted on the field, and many little wizards stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.

"Great, I knew Hals would definitely win the championship!"

"Did you see that? That's our Gryffindor warrior!"

…

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and shouts, Ivan's mouth corners slightly raised, his right hand holding the trophy high and gesturing to the surroundings, he was in a very happy mood.

This is not only because of winning the championship, but more importantly because the previous system tasks have finally been completed.

[Mission: Victory over the Goblet of Fire (Completed)

Mission goal: Participate in the Triwizard Tournament and win the championship!

Mission reward: legendary value*3

Mission description: Under your careful planning, this event co-organized by the three major magic schools in Europe has become your personal show. Your outstanding performance and legendary deeds will be recorded along with this special game. history! 】

Looking at the mission information displayed on the system panel, Ivan felt a little awkward, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the mission description was too normal, which made him a little uncomfortable.

While Ivan was distracted and thinking, Bagman on the stage continued to read out the results of the game.

The second place should go to Harry. Compared to the other contestants, he managed to walk around the maze and subdued the blast-ended snails and several giant spiders, which was considered a performance.

Beauxbatons' warrior Fleur followed in third place.

As for Krum... naturally he can only be at the bottom, ranked last.

When Bagman announced the result loudly, Karkaroff's face was scary and ugly, and Durmstrang's little wizards all glared at Krum, thinking that he had embarrassed Durmstrang.

Fleur's situation is slightly better. With Krum as a foil, she won't be complained by the students at the same school. However, some Beauxbatons girls still criticize her in private. After all, Fleur's last two games The performance of the project was just terrible.

Amid the celebrations, Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, also had a smile on his face. The victory or defeat of the Goblet of Fire was not only a matter for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but also a matter for him as the Minister of Magic. Political achievements and the face of the British wizarding community!

So after Ivan finished his several-minute acceptance speech, Fudge personally stepped forward as the presenter and presented Ivan with the award for this competition—a full thousand gold galleons, all packed in a bag. Inside, Ivan felt heavy when he held it in his hand.

"Finally, please allow me to say one more thing!"

Dumbledore suddenly stood up after the closing ceremony. His loud voice echoed throughout the arena, even suppressing the noisy voices of the young wizards.

For a moment, there was a brief silence all around, and the little wizards all looked at Dumbledore on the judges' table.

Under the attention of everyone, Dumbledore waved his wand gently, and a purple beam of light shot into the sky and exploded a moment later.

Colorful flags and flower petals continued to fall from the sky, covering the entire Quidditch pitch...

"Tonight I can tacitly allow you to violate some less important school rules and celebrate. That's all I have to say..." Dumbledore said with a smile.

George and Fred immediately jumped with joy, which meant they could move out all their usual inventory.

The other little wizards also ran down from the stands and rushed towards the medal podium, surrounding the warriors in the middle.

"Ivan, you are so awesome. You defeated so many monsters in the maze at once..." Simo squeezed in front of Ivan and talked excitedly about the shocking scene he had seen in the crystal ball. .

Then Simo's eyes turned to the shining golden trophy in Ivan's hand, his cheeks turned red, and he asked a little embarrassedly. "Can I touch your trophy, Ivan?"

"Of course, no problem!" Ivan handed over the trophy generously.

Simo took it with trembling hands, as if he was holding some treasure, and he was extremely happy.

But before he could hold it firmly, the trophy in his hands was snatched away by George and Fred. They also wanted to touch Ivan's trophy and feel happy!

Watching this scene, Ivan shook his head in amusement, and talked to Asia on his own, letting George and the others play with the trophy, which was not very valuable anyway.

He had appraised it a long time ago. Even though the trophy looks gorgeous and shiny, it is not actually made of real gold...

The stinginess of the Ministry of Magic is evident.

"You shouldn't have approved of them violating the school rules just now, Albus..." From the auditorium, Mag looked at the noisy crowd below and said with some helplessness.

I don't know who threw a few fireworks in the venue. For a while, brilliant sparks flew everywhere, causing quite a commotion. Mag was very worried that someone would be injured in such a push.

"But it is indeed a day worth celebrating, isn't it? Minerva? There's nothing wrong with relaxing properly..." Dumbledore replied.

Mag shook his head and stopped arguing. Instead, he got down to business. "When should we go to that village?"

"Of course now, Voldemort may take action at any time... If the delay continues, they may not be able to wait any longer." Dumbledore said pointedly.

"But what will happen to Hogwarts if we all leave?" McGonagall couldn't help but hesitate.

"Sirius will be with Harry at any time tonight, and Severus and Flitwick will also stay to protect the safety of the students." Dumbledore explained.

"In addition, the Aurors brought by Fudge will stay here to guard before they clean up the maze and transport all the dangerous magical creatures away. If something unexpected happens, they cannot just sit back and watch..."
