Chapter 496 If you say no, then you can't?
"Can't they be faster?"

In the minister's office, Fudge spoke in a helpless tone, but there was no sign of displeasure on his face.

The Aurors did a great job and were adamant about not calling the game over - even though the Hogwarts victory was already in front of everyone.

'However, this is a good thing, if there are other contradictions, they will be on my side. '

Fudge had a smile on his face - the fact that Hogwarts won the Triwizard Tournament was a good thing, but the fact that it had nothing to do with him and his reputation was nothing but icing on the cake, but the magic Congress of the United States It's a whole different story to come for help, which is strong evidence of the international reach of his Minister Fudge.

Not to mention that the Magic Congress of the United States has promised some benefits, but no, even if it has to subsidize money, Fudge feels that this operation is very necessary - arresting a magic school legally and reasonably in front of a group of headmasters headmaster , what could be more powerful than this?
But this can only be thought about in his heart, even if it is not appropriate to tell the assistant in front of him, he restrained a little bit of joy that he was about to control, "The Triwizard Tournament, which is about to win, was disturbed by the Aurors. Yellow, I think we should do something to make up for our champion, what do you think?"

"Of course, your generosity will be felt by the students - we can provide a special bonus, and then claim in the newspaper that you have discussed with several officials of the Examination Authority and have decided to award previous awards based on their exceptional performance in this competition..."

"Well, good idea, The specific matters are up to you. In addition, you will draft a letter to Professor McGonagall, which probably means that the Ministry has decided to allocate a special fund to Potter to repair the playing field damaged by the Aurors, and to pay attention to the Auror's damage. A rude apology - be gentle and don't add anything else."

"Yes, Minister."

--

"We actually won the championship. That's it!"

In the Gryffindor common room, everyone was complaining about Harry and the others - just when the Aurors tried to stop the game, Harry had already got the final trophy!
"That's right, those Aurors must have accepted the black-hearted Galleon! Otherwise they wouldn't be talking nonsense with their eyes open and ignoring the results of the game!"

Now is the time to celebrate, But everyone was so angry at the sudden appearance of Auror that even the streamers couldn't even care about spraying them. If it wasn't for the performance of Slytherin's champion during the game, they would like to go out and fight a group fight to relieve their anger. .

"We don't accept this outcome, Harry, you go with us to Professor McGonagall, we have to protest, the champion can't be stolen by those traitors!"

Auror They were a prestigious group among the students before, but after everyone came to their senses, it became more and more that the Aurors did too much in that scene, so they had become the target of the students' firepower. . .

The most angry are Harry and his team members and Ron, especially Ron, who is almost catching up with the color of his hair at this moment, "Cheating, cheating naked, they are absolutely bribed. , there's a shady scene here!"

The students, who were getting more and more angry, finally ended the unpleasant celebration. Led by Prefect, several students gathered up their courage and prepared to go to Professor McGonagall's side. Protest to go.

——

While the Gryffindors were angry, the rest of the house was not idle.

Ravenclaws are especially pissed - they can accept a high level of deception and traps, and they can accept a comeback from a forcibly superior opponent, but what does it mean when a group of Aurors come and deliberately stop?
It's like pressing their IQ to the ground repeatedly and telling you that I'm just kidding you!
Lame excuses, deliberate delays, and apparently ghostly arrests - everyone started to mystify Ministry of Magic, after all, everyone knows that those Aurors are also the ones to blame, and it is the Ministry who really ordered The Minister of Magic...

"No, I can't stand it, I decided to write an anonymous article mocking this incident and telling the story of how we lost the trophy with the help of our country's Auror!"

"Count me in!"

"I'm going to write some jokes and publish them!"

While this group of people was booing, another group of people also organized , I'm going to head to head's office to ask head what's going on in today's game - you can't watch the honor fly away, right?

——

“*!”

In the swirling owl, a Slytherin student angrily threw the letter on the table, “** *Fudge! That guy sold us after signing a few international contracts with the magic circle in the US!"

"It's a bit disgusting, but if you say so..."

p>

"What's the matter, the overwhelming majority's list is directly eaten by their faction, and the high-value import and export commodity contracts!"

A foul- The voice of mouthed - due to some historical reasons, pure blood is not traded in some industries, and the list involved this time is basically in those industries...

"No, what do you say? We have to go to the head to report, it’s so simple, no one will remember our contribution! Let’s go and find the head!”

——

“Please Come in."

When the knock on the door rang, Professor McGonagall put down the letter in his hand in confusion - then moved towards the door and shouted.

'At this time, the professors are also preparing for the holiday, who will come to my office? '

The door opened, and a few sloppy Gryffindors moved into Professor McGonagall's office under Prefect's inconvenient leadership.

'To be really angry like this...'

Professor McGonagall was surprised, "Is it for today's game?"

"Yes, Professor, you said..."

"The department has already given a compensation plan, whether it is the bonus that should be obtained, or the treatment that the champion deserves, a share will not be small. Potter and the four of them presented the Special Contribution Award in recognition of their special contribution to maintaining the school's honor during the Triwizard Tournament."

Professor McGonagall smiled softly, and she enjoyed seeing her students so united look.

But unfortunately, as she laughed, the students behind, especially the Weasley brother, almost had to rely on the strength given by the person in front to stand firm.

"Okay, let's go back, the school will soon issue an announcement, but the official announcement will take about a day or two, but you can go back now to celebrate the special contribution award - but pay attention. Yes, the Triwizard Tournament has already expired, so there is no excuse to celebrate.”

As Professor McGonagall finished speaking, everyone said goodbye in a hurry, and then their legs and feet regained their strength and quickly After saying goodbye, they left Professor McGonagall's office, all with expressions of avoided a catastrophe on their faces.

"Survived."

"Yeah."

"Go back and announce the good news."

"Wait a minute. , give me a hand, I'm still a little scared..."

——

"Special Contribution Award?"

When Hogwarts presented a special award to his four champions Madam Maxime, who was in the carriage, was rarely angry when the award was given.

“Do they think we can’t afford to lose?”

“We have never been insulted like this since Beauxbatons started!”

“Cheating This kind of thing is a tradition, everyone is doing it, we cheat not because we can't win without cheating, but because it's part of the Triwizard Tournament!"

"If you lose, you lose. After being plotted against by them, and then ambush and dragged us down, they won the game with a trick, but it was recognized by the game, special contribution award - who to look down on?"

She was puffed up. Looking at his own students, "Take out our atmosphere and go to Karkaroff. The victories of our three schools are still in the hands of Auror? Before the position of Auror came out, the Triwizard Tournament was decided by the three of us!"

"Be honest about your failures, honestly recognize them as champions in the past, and won the Triwizard Tournament!"

"I don't want us to lose in the history of the three The name is famous!"

Madam Maxime shouted for his students, took four champions and walked towards Durmstrang's camp. Triwizard Tournament has won and lost, accusing each other of losing. She can afford it, and her students have really tried their best. It's okay if she can't lose such a title - she doesn't believe it. After five years of competition, Hogwarts will still have a cheap student like that monte. !
——

"To admit defeat?"

When Karkaroff heard this in his tent, his mouth couldn't close.

He thought that Madam Maxime had always been a man to win by fair means or foul, but he totally didn't expect that Madam Maxime would come over and talk to him about completely surrendering to Hogwarts.

"Losing a game has nothing to do with failure. I will come back with my students in five years."

Madam Maxime shook the head, she didn't intend to be so low Hogwarts one, lost this time and come back next time - Fleur's younger sister just entered the contest five years later, and she has an ace in her hand.

"It's like we don't dare to fight."

Karkaroff gently laughed, "Next time, four-player game, if it wasn't for the second game they took too much It's absolutely impossible for their disgusting procrastination tactics to succeed."

"When the time comes, Madam Maxime doesn't plan to be fooled—it was revealed in the first round competition, Durmstrang's group battle level is indeed a level higher, "What about five years from now, we will quickly set the championship, and then agree on the date of the next game."

"Yes, we Durmstrang People who have never been able to face up to their own mistakes."

Karkaroff nodded, "Fang Krum turned his head and looked towards his students. Hello, you Pack, we congratulate the champion - the champion of the Triwizard Tourment. Of course, the three of us will solve it.”

——

“Recognize the champion?”

When so many guests came to Professor McGonagall’s office , she was stunned - she really didn't think the old rivals would come to admit her defeat.

Everyone has a good tradition of cheating, so she really didn't think that way.

"Of course, the champions, we admit, you won."

Karkaroff was a very bachelor.

Since he was going to concede defeat, he put on a full gesture, "So, please, Professor McGonagall, you can find Albus, and then the three of us will jointly sign the document ending this Triwizard Tournament, so that this game can be recorded in each country. In the library at home."

This decision can be said to be quite formal, and although Professor McGonagall can make a decision, she still begins to write to Dumbledore, urging him to return to school soon so that the follow-up can be dealt with. matter.

"Please wait a moment, Albus will take a while to arrive."

It is about the school's reputation, and Fudge's letter can only be placed there, the other two schools They all admit defeat, but Hogwarts dare not win?
It's rumored that the next Triwizard Tournament is better than anything else, a natural dwarf.

While people in an office were drinking drinks and waiting for Dumbledore to arrive, there was another knock on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

As the door was opened, the four champions of Ilvermorny appeared at the door. After they were a little surprised, they said their plans with a bit of regret - agreeing with Hogwarts to win the championship as an opponent.

'Whatever the guys want to do, they don't want to see the dust settle, all we can do is get it over quickly - that's the only place we can help the headmaster. '

'Also, that's what the headmasters have been hoping for, to open up internationally, to lock us into the Triwizard Tournament, and if we just leave, then it's not clear. The game is likely to be the last game our school participates in. '

'We can't take our failures and shame back home, admit our failures, and there is still a chance to recover, this time is not good for the next one, the next one is not good and the next one, there will always be winners At times, there is always a time to wash away the stigma - so I hope you all can go together, admit our failures, and preserve hope for future engagement. '

…

While the four Ilvermorny champions were anxiously waiting for the response from the school officials of the other three schools, a thud a light sound happened. Outside, then, the sound of Professor McGonagall's office was ringing again.

The person who came this time was Dumbledore, who was covered in dust.

"Good afternoon, Albus."

Karkaroff stood up and said hello.

Then the rest of the room—Dumbledore one after another responded, and as his eyes glanced over the champions of the four Ilvermornes, Dumbledore nodded slightly, and then said nothing.

…

"So... that's it, the game is over?"

"We're fine."

Ilvermorny of students dared to respond first.

“Durmstrang has no objection.”

“Beauxbatons approve of this race.”

Madam Maxime last nodded.

Subsequent signatures, oaths, and the Triwizard Tournament officially ended with the re-drawn Goblet of Fire embossing an ugly pattern on the parchment with the names of the four schools written on it.
