Harry Potter’s Natural Villain
Chapter 185 The Top 3 Cups with No Age Limit
"Malcolm Baddock!"
"Slytherin!"
"Eleanor Branstone!"
"Hufflepuff!"
One after another first-year students were assigned to the college they should go to. With varying degrees of fear and panic on their faces, the freshmen walked to the three-legged stool one by one, for fear of being assigned to an academy that they did not like.
The team was slowly decreasing, and by the end, Professor McGonagall had already read the names on the list.
Professor Dumbledore stood up at this time.He smiled and looked at all his classmates, opened his arms and made a welcome gesture.
"I only have two words to tell you," he said, his deep voice echoing in the auditorium, "eat!"
The students began to feast, and the freshmen who came to Hogwarts for the first time were quite shocked, but compared to the shocking emotions, their appetite had the upper hand. Compared with their parents, they were still their own jobs. The cooking house elves are better at making dishes, which are more delicious.
The heavy rain was still intensively beating the tall, black windows.Another burst of thunder blasted, causing the glass windows to creak, and a flash of lightning flashed across the hazy ceiling, illuminating the golden plate, the first food left on the plate disappeared, and it was filled with desserts in the blink of an eye .
"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Now that we have all eaten and drank enough, I must ask everyone to pay attention again. I want to announce a few notices."
"Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year, the prohibited items in the castle have added a few more items. They are screaming swimming balls, toothed flying saucers, and combo boomerangs. The entire list includes about 430 Seventeen items can be seen in Mr. Filch’s office. Those who are interested can check it."
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched a few times.
He continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that students cannot enter the forbidden forest on the other side of the site, and in Hogsmeade Village, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."
"I also regret to tell you that the Academy Cup Quidditch will not be held this year."
Many students in several colleges have grown-up mouths, staring at their principals in a daze. Their brains are still unable to accept this reality. Are there any taboos in Quidditch competitions?Why should it be closed?This is the question in their hearts.
Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large-scale event will begin in October and will continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of the teachers' time and energy-but I believe you can all have a lot of fun. I I’m very happy to announce that this year at Hogwarts-in the next few months, we will be very honored to host a very exciting event that has not been held for more than a century. I I am very happy to tell everyone that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."
"You're kidding!" Fred Weasley said loudly. The successive blows made him a little dizzy, and the impact of this news made him a little unreasonable. The same is true for George, as Dumbledore announced just now. Many contraband products are produced by them.
"I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley," he said, "if you want to listen to a joke, I have a good one." The old man seemed to have forgotten the business again, and was about to talk about the things that were not funny joke.
Professor McGonagall cleared his throat loudly, deliberately interrupting Dumbledore's next words.
Malfoy just watched the old man’s deliberately funny actions with cold eyes. It seemed that this would make him more kind in the minds of the students. This is a way to get closer. It’s just that, at other times, this old man would never It's not so confused.
Soon, Dumbledore changed into a serious tone, and the penetrating eyes scanned the students, and then began to explain.
"... But later, the death toll was too much,
"Death?" As soon as they heard this word, many students in the lower grades began to tremble, especially in the first grade.They couldn't imagine that they would encounter this kind of thing the first day they came to school. They just came to class, not their lives.
They were so nervous that they didn't even listen to the rules.
In contrast, the senior students are gearing up, eager to try, and whispering in excitement.
"Over the centuries, people have tried several times to restore the championship," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them were successful. However, the Department of International Magic Cooperation and Magic Sports of the Ministry of Magic believes that we should try again. The time is ripe. We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that every warrior does not endanger his life."
"In October, the principals of Boothbatten and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected competitors to come. The ceremony of selecting the warriors will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will determine which students are most eligible to participate in the competition. The top three cups won honors for their school, and individuals can also receive 1,000 gallons of prize money."
Many students have eyes glowing, and they are not interested in those who died more than a hundred years ago. The generous bonuses make them somewhat incapacitated.
"Merlin's beard! How many years dad has to do, this is a thousand dollars!" Ron exclaimed.
"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts," he said. "However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agreed at the beginning that there should be an age limit for this year's competitors. Only years Only students who have reached the age of seventeen-that is, over seventeen-are allowed to sign up for consideration. We think."
The Weasley twin brother suddenly became angry.
"This is not a wise rule. Some wizards with extraordinary talents, or those who work hard the day after tomorrow, already have considerable magic skills when they are under 17 years old." Dumbledore coughed slightly at this time and turned to the audience. He glanced in a certain direction, then opened his arms and pressed both hands down, causing Brother Weasley to shut up.
"But most of the students are still ordinary. Following this general rule, the older they are, the stronger they are."
"Then, can we compete!" Hermione was taken aback, because Ron who was beside her suddenly shouted, his eyes flushed and he looked very excited.
"The list of Warrior candidates who have not yet been selected will be swallowed by the Goblet of Fire, and then screened with its unique magic." Dumbledore said, "So I will cast a spell around the Goblet of Fire to hinder the lack of strength. Students who can break through the restrictions I set are eligible for the Goblet of Fire selection."
"In addition, I have news to announce. I want to introduce two new teachers to everyone." Dumbledore decided to change the subject.
The students looked listless at this time, and after the intense stimulation, the new teacher became attractive to them.
"This is your new Fantastic Beast Conservation Teacher, Professor Grapland, I must have been together for a while last semester."
At this time, an elderly witch stood up from the teacher's seat and nodded to indicate that her gray hair was cut very short, and her chin was very prominent, not very beautiful, but she could still feel her kind personality.
As a result, there was only a sparse applause in the auditorium.
"Then the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts-Mr. Alastor Moody."
"Similarly, you should be familiar enough with him. He came to Hogwarts as an Auror last semester to help us." Dumbledore said with a smile.
