Chapter 315: The Goblet of Fire Warrior

That day, after the last herbal medicine class in the afternoon.

Ino also followed the Slytherins slowly out of the greenhouse.

In today's courses, he felt that he could learn new knowledge in the Herbal Medicine and Potions classes.

As for the rest, whether it was Transfiguration classes, Charms, or even the elective Ancient Runes classes, they all seemed to be a waste of time.

But no matter what, students just go to class and study. The seemingly boring campus life now will be the time they long for in their dreams in the future.

Perhaps because the list of warriors will be announced today, everyone hastened their pace back to the castle.

…

Time soon came to evening.

It was obviously a banquet at eight o'clock, but after seven o'clock in the evening, there was no one left in the castle.

Whether it was Hogwarts or the other two schools, everyone gathered in the auditorium, either chatting together, playing wizard chess, or playing Gobstone. In short, no one was idle.

Inside the auditorium.

Draco sat confidently on the stool, not only talking loudly about various hot topics, but also looking at the Gryffindor table from time to time.

Because he already knew that Ino had put his name into the Goblet of Fire, and his previously worried heart was finally relieved.

Now that there are no worries, it's natural to eat and drink as you should, and the feeling of relaxation should not be too obvious.

Maybe it's too relaxed.

Draco's performance also attracted many people's attention, including other Slytherins.

"What's wrong with him? He looks like a swallow-tailed dog untied!"

Although Daphne was a little confused, she watched the performance with interest.

"Hahahaha, the reason for being happy is that there is no pressure anymore." Pansy chuckled and took over.

In her opinion, Draco was too good at guessing, and when coupled with the previously heated betting incident, the answer was ready to come out.

Thinking of this, Pansy turned her head slightly and looked at the other side of the long table.

When she felt someone's gaze coming towards her, Ino also raised her head, and when she saw it was Pansy, she also responded with a faint smile.

But soon, he turned his head and looked to the side.

"Draco, if I were you, I wouldn't go there at this time. If you really want to cause trouble and throw people abroad, Professor Snape won't be able to protect you. Really! Professor McGonagall will mess with anyone if you get serious. Sorry."

In just a few minutes, he heard very ridiculous things.

After Draco thought he was sure of victory, he actually took Goyle and Crabbe to taunt Ron. At first glance, it looks like the fruit of victory, and it must be made more delicious with the condiment of irony.

But to be honest, in the current atmosphere of excitement in the auditorium, it is easy to have a dispute if something goes wrong.

If they really accidentally start a fight and turn into a big fight, Professor McGonagall will not let everyone go easily.

On the other side, Draco, who was originally so arrogant, felt like an eggplant beaten by frost after hearing Professor McGonagall's name, and his whole body became visibly deflated.

…

Although Draco was no longer jovial, there was someone at the Gryffindor table who also looked happy.

"Really? Someone hit a pillar again today? Unbelievable..."

Hermione happily chatted with her roommate. Although they were topics that she was not interested in, she was still talking about her own opinions.

As a good old neutral person, Parvati didn't mind chatting with anyone, but Hermione's unprecedented performance today made her feel a little surprised.

"You're not... I mean, you probably don't like hearing this. Why did you suddenly change today?"

Parvati looked confused.

"It's not about transformation, it's about what I want to say when I'm happy!" Hermione responded with a smile.

Today at noon, a chance encounter in the corridor made her know what Ino was thinking.

As of now, even Parvati, who is the most well-informed, doesn't even know about this, which means she is the only one in Gryffindor who knows.

Although it was just a small thing, Hermione still felt happy, and she also planned to brew some more useful potions before the game started and find an opportunity to send them to Ino.

…

In the lively atmosphere, you never notice the passage of time.

Evening, eight o'clock.

As several principals and Ministry of Magic officials arrived one after another, the entire auditorium gradually became quiet.

With everyone watching, Dumbledore stood up.

As if knowing everyone's expectations, he directly skipped the tedious opening, and then decisively waved the magic wand in his hand.

Suddenly, the hundreds of candles in the auditorium dimmed, and the Goblet of Fire floated all the way from the side hall.

And as the Goblet of Fire landed steadily on the table, the blue-white flames suddenly shone brightly. Not only did the flames fly up to three feet high, but the color also changed from blue-white to dazzling orange-red.

Sparks flew everywhere, and a piece of parchment with half a burnt edge flew out.

Seizing the missing note, Dumbledore read out the contents of the note in front of everyone: "Durmstrang's Champion... Viktor Crom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.

"Mr. Krum! Please go to the next room and wait for a moment!" Dumbledore pointed to a door behind the guest of honor.

As Krum left, a piece of parchment floated out of the Goblet of Fire in the not too long time that followed.

"Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour..."

The applause in the auditorium was obviously weaker than Krum's, but the boys from Hogwarts were very enthusiastic, even clapping until their hands turned red without knowing it.

After hearing her name, Fleur stood up in surprise, stepped between the two tables with agile steps, and her silver hair swung gently behind her head...

Such a simple action also made many people in the auditorium stare at her intently, until the figure disappeared behind the door, and then they slowly came back to their senses.

It seems predictable that today's scene is likely to be engraved in the hearts of many boys and will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

With the selection of two warriors, the next step is naturally self-evident.

Unlike just watching the excitement, everyone in the auditorium was nervous at this moment, this time it was the warriors of Hogwarts.

The flames rose again, and this time it was no longer parchment, but notebook paper with lines.

Others may not notice the difference, but Dumbledore, who was closest, saw it clearly. Although he had the answer in his heart, he inadvertently smiled after seeing the paper.

"Finally! The champion of Hogwarts..." Dumbledore picked up the note in his hand and read aloud: "Ino Swinburne!"

In the hall, warm applause rang out again, and the enthusiasm was far greater than the previous two.

In the guest seat, Professor McGonagall opened her mouth in surprise, but then she murmured excitedly:

"Ha! I knew he wouldn't... he wouldn't abandon it like this."

Ino stood up with a smile and slowly walked towards the guest seat amid the applause.

However, when he just walked to the door, the Goblet of Fire changed color again.

Seeing this scene, Ino stopped decisively and glanced at the guest seat.

The inertia of fate seemed to be fully demonstrated at this moment.

But what made him curious was the reason for the incident. Mad-Eye Moody was genuine, and the other people on the field also saw nothing unusual.

Besides, unlike the Goblet of Fire in the original story, this time it was only one day, and he didn't think anyone could be so bold to do something.

Most importantly, he stayed in the side hall with Dumbledore until late last night...

Suddenly, a seemingly incapable person suddenly appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, Ino no longer stopped in the hall, but turned and walked towards the room behind.

"No wonder the Confusion Spell was mentioned last night..."

Although there are no major changes in personnel, Xiaodi promised that a different Goblet of Fire will definitely be presented! It's almost here, really.
