Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

553. Chapter 550, Goblet of Fire

    Crouch is quite abnormal, but it may be like this.

    He is different from a normal wizard, and has always been like this.

    Ivan still remembers his spotless suit at the Quiddich World Cup. He felt that he was wearing a wizard robe at the moment, a bit weird, compared to Dumbledore's long white hair and white beard, his toothbrush-like short stubble and a mess. The split looks very awkward and doesn't look like a wizard.

    If he is Barty Jr.
· Crouch is fake, that's really amazing.

    Of course, this is just Ivan's guess, Barty Jr.
· Crouch may also be a fake student of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang.

    In case, just in case, he will return to the common room and use The Marauder's Map to confirm.

    "In the past few months, Mr. Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament. ”Dumbledore continued, “They will work with me, Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxime to form a jury to judge the efforts of the champions.”

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

    As soon as I heard the word "champion", the students seemed to be more attentive.

    Dumbledore also seemed to notice that they suddenly silenced, only to see him smile and continue: "Mr. Filch, please bring the box up. ”

    No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium, and now he came to Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box with jewels in his hand, which looked old and old.

    The classmates looked at them with enthusiasm and talked with interest.

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

    His younger brother, Dennis, also stood up, but his size was too small, even if he stood, his head was not much higher than others.

    "The specific project of this year's champions competition, Mr. Crouch and Mr. of the Ministry of Magic. Bagman has been carefully reviewed. ”Dumbledore said, then Filch carefully put the box on the table in front of him, "they also made a lot of necessary arrangements for each project, a total of three projects, respectively, at different times throughout the school year, they will test from many different aspects champion, Test their abilities in magic, their guts, and their reasoning skills. Of course, there is their ability to overcome danger. ”

    Upon hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent and it seemed that everyone stopped breathing.

    "You already know that there will be three champions to participate in the competition."Dumbledore continued to calmly say, “representing a participating school, we will rate them according to the quality of each competition. After the three projects, the highest scoring champion will win the Triwizard Cup. The one who is responsible for picking the champion is a fair selector, it is the Goblet of Fire! ”

    Having said that, Dumbledore pulled out the wand and knocked it three times on the lid of the box.

    The lid slowly opened and Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-cut wood goblet.

    The cup itself is not at all eye-catching, but it is full of blue and white flames that are beating.

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

    Its role is to select the respective champions from the three magical college students and sign a contract with Triwizard Tournament.

    If the strength is strong enough, you can confuse the Goblet of Fire, which affects the selection of the champion.

    With Barty Jr.
· The power of Crouch and Kreshkov makes it easy to do this.

    Maybe they have already put Harry's name in it, and the Goblet of Fire has been kept by the Ministry of Magic. As one of the organizers and judges of the Triwizard Tournament, Crouch can easily come across it without suspicion.

    Dumbledore closes the box and places the cup on the lid so everyone in the auditorium can see it clearly.

    "Every student who wants to run for champion must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet."Dumbledore said, "If you are interested in becoming a champion, you can sign up within 24 hours. Tomorrow evening, that is, Halloween night, the goblet will select the names of the three students who think it best represents the three schools. Tonight, the goblet is placed in the foyer, and all students who are willing to participate in the campaign can get in touch with it. ”

    "I have said before that in order to avoid students of not enough age can not stand the temptation."Dumbledore said, "After the contours are placed in the foyer, I have to draw an age line around it. Anyone under the age of seventeen can't cross this line."

    "Finally, I want to remind everyone who wants to participate in the election to pay attention to this competition. This competition is not a child's play. Don't take the risk of losing. Once the champion is selected by Goblet of Fire, he must hold the game to the end. Whoever puts his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a champion, you are not allowed to change your mind. Therefore, please think twice and find out that you really want to participate in the competition, and then put the name into the cup. Ok, I think everyone should go to bed, I wish you good night. ”

    "The age line!"Fred Weasley said that the two eyes are sparkling. "That's easy to do, it can definitely be fooled by aging agents, isn't it?" As long as your name enters the cup, you will laugh happily. It can't tell who is seventeen and who is under seventeen! ”

    At this time, the students walked through the auditorium and walked toward the two doors leading to the foyer.

    "But I think it is impossible for people under the age of seven to win."Hermione said, "We haven't learned enough…"

    "That is to say yourself."George said impatiently, "Think about Ivan. He is only 13 years old this year. How many people in the school can be stronger than him?!"

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

    But George ignored him and turned to others and said, "Harry, Ron, Colin, you will also fight for it, right?"

    The three people hesitated and finally nodded.

    "As long as you can cross the Dumbledore's age limit, it's not a bad thing to try."Harry remembered that Dumbledore insisted that his 17-year-old classmate couldn't sign up, but then he remembered his brilliant scene when he won the Triwizard Cup.

    "Right, where is he?"Ron said, "Dumbledore didn't say where the representatives of Durmstrang were sleeping, didn't they?"

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

    Looking at Ron's look, I want to invite Krum to sleep in my bedroom.
