Chapter 513 Prohibited From Participating

"I'm going!" said Fred in a low voice from across the table.

"How could we miss this kind of thing!" George agreed.

The two of them beamed with excitement at the thought of the possibility of such honor and wealth.

He is not the only one like them who fantasizes about being a Hogwarts warrior. At the desks of every college, people can be seen staring at Dumbledore enthusiastically, or whispering excitedly to their neighbors.

But Dumbledore spoke again, and the Great Hall fell silent again.

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament for Hogwarts," he said, "however, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agree that there will be an age cutoff for this year's competitors. Only seventeen Years old, that is to say, students over the age of seventeen are allowed to register for consideration. We feel that..."

Dumbledore raised his voice slightly as some people protested angrily at what he said.

"I hope you understand that this measure is very necessary, because the competition is still very difficult and dangerous. No matter how many precautions we take, it is impossible for students under the sixth and seventh grades to handle it. Myself Will ensure that no underage student fools our impartial judges into becoming a Hogwarts champion."

There was a meaningful gleam in his blue eyes as he glanced over the rebellious faces of Fred and George.

Immediately, his eyes turned to Ai Wen, which seemed to become deeper.

Dumbledore continued, "Therefore, if you are under seventeen, I beg you not to waste your time making an application."

"The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations will be arriving in October and will be with us for the majority of the academic year. I know you will all be well behaved while our foreign guests are here. Warm and friendly, and once a Hogwarts champion is finally chosen, you will support him or her wholeheartedly. Well, it is getting late, and it is very important that you go into class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed. Go Go to bed! Hurry!"

Dumbledore sat down and turned to Mad-Eye Moody.

There was a clack, clack, ping, ping, ping, pong, and bang in the dining room. The students stood up one after another, rushed to the two opposite doors, and entered the hall.

"They can't do this!" George didn't follow the crowd to the door, but stood there and glared at Dumbledore angrily, "We will be seventeen next April, why don't you let us try?"

"They can't stop me from participating." Fred said stubbornly, also glaring at the guest table angrily, "Being a warrior allows you to do many things that you are not normally allowed to do, and you have a thousand plus Long's bonus..."

"Yeah!" Ron said, with a dazed look on his face, "Yeah, a thousand Galleons..."

"This is the most unfair to Aiwen, he is the strongest little wizard in the school, Aiwen has proved this." Hermione also frowned and said, "But now because of his age, he is not allowed Competing..."

"If Ivan can't become a warrior, I don't see who in the school has the qualification." Harry nodded.

"This is really ridiculous!"

"That's right, we have to talk to Dumbledore and ask him to revise the statute..." Fred said.

"Okay, let's go." Ai Wen said, "If you don't go, there are only a few of us left here."

In fact, he wasn't worried at all.

As long as he can put his name in the Goblet of Fire, no one can stop him from becoming a warrior.

There are several ways for Dumbledore to prevent wizards under the age of seventeen from voting. Ivan has several ways to break it.

"Ivan, why aren't you angry at all?!" George said, "Their age restriction is completely..."

"Please come here, Mr. Mason, the principal has something to say to you." Professor McGonagall said seriously, walking up to several people and looking at them with dissatisfaction, "you five, hurry back to the common room, don't That's blocking the door."

Under the supervision of Professor McGonagall, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George glanced at Ivan and walked towards the hall.

Ivan returned to the teachers' bench alone, where only Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody were left.

"I have my own opinion on that matter..." Moody stopped suddenly, and the magic blue fake eye fell on Ivan, and said with interest in a hoarse voice, "Ah, it's the second time we met, Ivan Mason. I didn't expect you to make such a big scene in the Quidditch World Cup. I was really surprised."

He came over to shake Ivan's hand, and that hand was as scarred as his face, full of scars.

Looking up close, Mad-Eye Moody looked even more terrifying.

Ivan had met him at the Ministry of Magic before, and apart from the two of them, only Sirius and Mr. Weasley were present.

The fake Moody in front of him knew even this, and he really worked hard to disguise him.

"Nice to meet you, Professor!" Ivan said softly, "I didn't expect you to come to Hogwarts to teach."

"I didn't think of it before, but I'll only teach for a year, and do Dumbledore a favor." Mooney said, laughing hoarsely, "Yeah, just teach for a year, and then go back to my peaceful retirement. "

This was the first time Ivan saw him smile, and when he smiled, his scarred face became even more distorted and weird.

"There is always a shortage of manpower for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and it is not easy to find suitable candidates." Dumbledore said gently, "If possible, I hope you can stay, your valuable experience is exactly what we need .”

"I'll think about it!" said Moody, waving his big rough hand.

"Okay, Ivan, I'm sorry to disturb your rest time, but I have something to tell you." Dumbledore said calmly, turning his gaze to Ivan, "About the Triwizard Tournament. …”

"Professor, I hope to be able to participate!" Ai Wen said hurriedly, "And I am confident..."

"Of course I know that you will definitely be able to break through the age-restricted magic I arranged, there is no doubt about it." Dumbledore said seriously, "But Beauxbaton and Durmstrang specifically asked us to ban you from participating The reason for the Triwizard Tournament is that your age does not meet the requirements. Of course, judging from what they mean, it seems that they are worried that your magic power is too strong, and no one will be your opponent."

Ivan's previous performance in the Quidditch World Cup was too eye-catching.

Not to mention little wizards, even adult wizards cannot possess that huge magic power and powerful magic strength.

In this case, it is not surprising that they made a request to restrict Ivan from participating in the game.

"Hmph, the idea of ​​the weak!" Moody said disdainfully, "Those guys are afraid..."

"Exactly, but they made this request one of the conditions for restarting the triwizard hegemony." Dumbledore said, staring at Ivan, "So I'm sorry, Ivan, I have to ask you to promise me that you will not participate Competition." (To be continued.)
