"Father, he is avoiding me on purpose."
During breakfast, Draco's face was not very good. He went to Lucius last night to ask for details, but was rejected. He went to look for him again early this morning, but he was not there.
It was obvious that Lucius didn't want to see him.
"There must be some reason why I can't let you know." Dudley swallowed an egg and said, as an explanation to Lucius.
It was obvious that the elder Malfoy didn't want the younger Malfoy to get involved, but Draco was already in the game, and it wasn't up to him whether Lucius wanted to or not.
To put it bluntly, when Voldemort returns, will he let Draco go and not drag him into the Death Eater camp?
Just kidding.
“How many people put their names in?”
Harry drank a full glass of milk and let out a loud burp.
"All representatives of Durmstrang." Ron answered Harry's words, and the guy never took his eyes off the Goblet of Fire.
To be honest, he really wanted to put his name in it.
Compared to Durmstrang's full-scale vote, Beauxbatons' side is much more cautious. So far, only half of the people have voted.
"What about here at Hogwarts?"
Neville picked up a glass of milk and shrugged: "Since Brother D said those words yesterday, except for himself, there has been zero so far."
Even Cedric decisively abstained from voting after knowing that Dudley had voted for his name, let alone anyone else.
Oh, not necessarily. There are always people who want to be in the limelight.
Ron's two brothers, Fred and George, walked toward the Goblet of Fire with excitement on their faces. They both held parchment in their hands. It was obvious that they wanted to sign up for themselves.
"Your brother is over 17?" Harry looked at Ron.
Ron shook his head: "They still have six months until they turn 17."
"The taste of age-enhancing potion, they drank a drop of age-enhancing potion." Dudley swallowed another egg to clear up the confusion for the two of them.
Theoretically, other members of the disciplinary team could also smell the age-enhancing agent, but the only one who could smell it from such a distance was Dudley.
"Do you think they'll succeed?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Draco glanced at the twins and snorted coldly in his nose: "If Dumbledore's magic was so easy to break, then he wouldn't be the greatest white wizard in the twentieth century."
"Ignore Brother D's warning and let them make a fool of themselves."
Just as Draco said, the two of them were thrown out by an invisible force the moment they crossed the age line.
Not only that, they also had thick white beards growing on their chins, looking like two Santa Clauses.
Fortunately, the twins didn't mind this and instead pointed at each other's beards and laughed.
"The 'age line' set by Dumbledore contains a total of twenty-seven spells, which are interlocking. However, ordinary age-enhancing potions cannot be deceived. Unless the bottle of age-enhancing potion comes from Professor Snape. hand."
In other words, at least it must be a perfect age-enhancing potion.
"Of course, it's not just about potions. It's also okay if your confusion spell is strong."
The Confusion Charm is a very useful snake oil spell that can be used for many things. Although most wizards can do it, it is difficult to specialize in it.
A wizard with profound magic power, not to mention using a confusion spell to cross the age line, can even confuse a magic prop like the Goblet of Fire that has been used for countless centuries.
In the following days, all the little wizards in Beauxbatons voted, but as the host, Hogwarts, except for the Weasley brothers who failed to vote, no one voted.
After all, Mr. Dursley has already voted, and no matter how many other people vote, it is just a foil.
Halloween is quickly approaching and it’s time to reveal the identity of the warrior.
During the banquet, everyone sat obediently in their respective seats, staring intently at the Goblet of Fire burning with blue and white flames in the center.
“The time is coming”
Dumbledore said softly.
As his words fell, the flames in the Goblet of Fire suddenly changed color, from the original blue and white to bright red like blood.
A tongue of fire suddenly jumped into the air and kept making a crackling sound.
A burnt parchment suddenly floated out of the Goblet of Fire.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
"He is the warrior of Durmstrang." Dumbledore said after receiving the eyelid roll.
Everyone on Durmstrang's side looked nervous.
Even if Viktor is recognized by them as the best wizard, the Goblet of Fire may not necessarily think so, and they may choose me.
"Victor Krum."
Unfortunately, there was no accident. When Dumbledore read out the name, the other wizards in Durmstrang were a little disappointed, but they soon applauded the representatives of their schools.
As the principal, Karkaroff looked so happy that his palms almost turned red.
Not long after, a tongue of fire shot out of the Goblet of Fire again.
Another piece of parchment flew out.
"The Champion of Beauxbatons," Dumbledore looked at the parchment in his hand and read, "Fleur Delacour."
Fleur, the girl with silver hair stood up from her seat at Beauxbatons and walked towards the next room.
Soon, the flames burst out for the third time.
This time it's Hogwarts.
Dumbledore opened the parchment and smiled brightly when he saw the name on it: "The Champion of Hogwarts - Dudley Dursley!"
The next moment, thunderous applause engulfed the entire classroom.
Compared to the first two schools where people felt sad and disappointed because they were not selected, Hogwarts is where everyone expected them to be.
Only Mr. Dursley is qualified to represent Hogwarts. This is almost the consensus of the young wizards.
Even Hufflepuff, who has Cedric, has to admit that Mr. Dursley is a little better than Cedric.
Even Dumbledore led the applause.
But at this moment, a change occurred.
The Goblet of Fire burst into flames again, and spit out a piece of parchment.
At this scene, not only Karkaroff and Maxim were stunned, but even Dumbledore had a look of astonishment on his face, especially when he saw the name on the parchment, his expression changed drastically.
"The Fourth Warrior"
"Harry Potter."
The whole place was in an uproar.
However, this situation did not last long, because flames burst out of the Goblet of Fire again, and the parchment was sprayed out as usual.
Dumbledore picked up the parchment and read the name on it expressionlessly.
"Harry Potter."
Flames burst out from the Goblet of Fire again
Or Harry Potter
Then repeat it again.
Still Harry Potter.
How many Harry Potters should Hogwarts choose? Play?
Someone standing in the teacher's seat had a frozen expression.
