Chapter 549 Goblet of Fire

Crouch is definitely an anomaly, but it's also possible that he is.

He was different from normal wizards, and always had been.

Ivan still remembered his spotless suit and leather shoes in the Quidditch World Cup, and felt that he looked a little weird in a wizard robe at the moment. Compared with Dumbledore's long white hair and beard, his short toothbrush-like mustache It looks very awkward to part with a clean hair, and it doesn't look like a wizard at all.

If he's Barty Crouch Jr. impersonating, that's pretty darn good.

Of course, this is just Aiwen's guess, Barty Crouch Jr. may also sneak in as a student of Beauxbaton or Durmstrang.

Just in case, he will return to the common room later and use the Marauder's Map to make sure.

"Mr Bagman and Mr Crouch have worked tirelessly over the past few months to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," continued Dumbledore, "and they will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Mark Mrs. Sim, together, form the panel of judges to judge the efforts of the Warriors."

The members of the jury confirmed that it was the five of them.

As soon as they heard the word "warrior", the students seemed to be more attentive.

Dumbledore also seemed to have noticed their sudden silence, and he smiled slightly and continued, "Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the Great Hall just now, and now he was walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box studded with jewels, which looked very old and worn.

The students watched with fascination and discussed enthusiastically.

In order to see more clearly, Colin simply stood on the chair.

His younger brother Dennis also stood up, but he was so small that even if he stood, his head would not be much higher than others.

"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman of the Ministry of Magic have carefully reviewed the specific items for this year's Warriors competition," said Dumbledore, as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him, "They also made many necessary arrangements for each project. There are three projects in total, which will be carried out at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many different ways. Test their magical talents, their guts and Their ability to reason. And, of course, their ability to overcome danger."

Hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, and everyone seemed to have stopped breathing.

"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition." Dumbledore continued to say calmly, "Representing a participating school, we will grade them according to the quality of each competition item they complete. After the three items are over, The warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. It is an impartial selector who is responsible for selecting the warrior, and it is the Goblet of Fire!"

Having said this, Dumbledore drew out his wand and tapped three times on the lid of the box.

The lid creaked slowly open, and Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-hewn wooden goblet.

The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.

Ivan can feel that this is a magic item with strong magic power, but it is not a legendary magic item.

Its role is to select the respective warriors from among the students of the three magic academies, and let them sign a contract with the Triwizard Tournament.

If the strength is strong enough, you can confuse the Goblet of Fire, thus affecting the selection of warriors.

With the strength of Barty Crouch Jr. and Keresis, this can be easily done.

Maybe they have already put Harry's name in it. The Goblet of Fire has been kept by the Ministry of Magic. As the organizer of the Triwizard Tournament and one of the members of the jury, Crouch can easily touch it and will not cause other people's attention. Suspect.

Dumbledore closed the box and put the cup on the lid so everyone in the Great Hall could see it clearly.

"Every student who wants to run for a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet." Dumbledore said, "Those who want to become a warrior can start at twenty Sign up within four hours, and tomorrow night, Halloween night, the goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Students who run for it can have access to it.”

"As I said before, in order to prevent underage students from being tempted," said Dumbledore, "after the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. Anyone under the age of seventeen Nobody can cross that line."

"Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate in the election that this competition is not a child's play, so don't take part in it rashly. Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the competition to the end. Whoever puts himself Putting your name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be kept. 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. Then put the name in the cup. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed, so I wish you a good night."

"Age boundary!" said Fred Weasley, with twinkling eyes. "That's easy, sure you can be fooled by the aging potion, can't you? As long as your name gets in that cup, you'll be happy." Just laugh, it can't tell who's over seventeen and who's under seventeen!"

By this time the students were walking through the hall towards the two doors leading to the foyer.

"But I don't think anyone under seventeen can win," said Hermione. "We haven't learned enough..."

"That's about yourself." George said impatiently, "Think about Ivan, he is only thirteen years old this year, how many people in the school can be better than him?!"

"Ivan is different, and he doesn't plan to participate, he promised Dumbledore!" Hermione said immediately.

But George ignored him, turned to the others and said, "Harry, Ron, Colin, you will also try to participate, won't you?"

The three hesitated, and finally nodded again.

"As long as you can cross Dumbledore's age limit, it's not a bad thing to try." Harry remembered Dumbledore's insistence that students under the age of seventeen could not sign up, but then he remembered the moment when he won the Triwizard Cup. Brilliant scene.

"By the way, where is he?" said Ron. "Dumbledore didn't say where Durmstrang's representatives slept, did he?"

He suddenly remembered this incident, and hurriedly searched for Krum in the crowd.

From Ron's appearance, he wanted to invite Krum to sleep in his bedroom. (To be continued.)
