Soon, all the students took their seats.
The teachers came in, and they filed over to the guest of honor seat and sat down. Walking last were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxime.
The Beauxbatons students stood up quickly as soon as they saw their principal appear. Several Hogwarts students couldn't help but laugh. But the Beauxbatons students did not appear embarrassed at all, and it was not until Madam Maxime sat down on Dumbledore's left that they sat down again.
Dumbledore remained standing, and the chatter in the auditorium gradually decreased and eventually became quiet.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests," said Dumbledore, looking at the foreign students with a smile. "It is with great joy that I welcome you. To Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here.
A Beauxbatons girl still wrapped her scarf tightly around her head and let out a sarcastic sneer.
Xie Lin looked at the girl who sneered and frowned.
Eleanor, who had been staring closely at Xie Lin, couldn't help but be attracted by Xie Lin's gaze, and looked back at Xie Lin's gaze.
She turned her head and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Malfoy, are you interested in her? She seems to be very special!"
What Xie Lin saw was that the girl had magical power fluctuations that did not belong to humans - the fluctuations were very frequent and gave people a sensitive, impatient and changeable feeling.
This is probably Fleur Delacour, the most beautiful woman in the original work. Only Veela's bloodline can explain this special magic fluctuation.
However, what made Xie Lin frown was actually another female student sitting next to Fleur.
When Xie Lin glanced at her, he almost thought he saw a sword!
The magic power on her body was like a sharp sword with gleaming cold light. It was very sharp. Xie Lin could feel a slight stinging sensation in his eyeballs just by casually glancing at it.
She's not so much a wizard as she is a warrior!
Xie Lin still remembered that he had read similar descriptions in the Silver Spear Duel record given to him by his sister Gulana. The literature once recorded a duelist whose whole body exuded sharpness, and all the spells he cast were extremely penetrating. For example, he once used a most common cutting spell to penetrate an iron armor spell, a steel shield behind the iron armor spell, and the steel armor of the person holding the steel shield.
The person holding the steel shield almost died on the spot. His chest seemed to have been scratched by a sharp blade, and even his heart was exposed.
What kind of cutting spell is this! This is obviously sword energy, okay?
The author who recorded this duel specially named the talent of this unknown duelist - "Innate Sword Heart".
Xie Lin guessed that this was an extremely rare blood talent.
He has seen quite a few bloodline talents, but only this bloodline talent is completely and purely born for fighting.
This is a born warrior!
Xie Lin couldn't help but smile, although there wasn't much smile in his eyes.
First Crazy Eyes Moody, then Draco, now Eleanor, and the Sword Heart Wizard - he did not think that the appearance of these people was all a coincidence.
His eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. If this was the case, let him take a closer look at what the intentions of these ghosts, ghosts, and snake gods suddenly appeared.
"The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet." Dumbledore said, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you would at home!"
He sat down, and Karkaroff immediately leaned forward to talk to him.
Schelling had never seen a Hogwarts dinner party with such sumptuous dishes and a variety of dishes placed in front of them, some of which were definitely foreign.
"What's that?" Gower asked, pointing to a large plate of what looked like a seafood chowder next to a chunk of steak and kidney pudding.
"French fish soup." Draco said with a haughty look, "My servant can make it. It tastes delicious, not bad."
Polyarco grabbed a big chicken leg in a very nondescript manner and began to eat and drink. He also spilled a lot of soup on his robe, but he didn't care at all.
"It's delicious! It's delicious!" he said vaguely, "The food at Hogwarts is much better than ours, and Durmstrang can't eat it."
At this moment, a voice said: "Excuse me, do you still want to eat this plate of mixed fish soup?"
Schelling raised his head sharply.
This is wrong! Doesn't this plot belong to Fleur and Ron?
Seeing the person coming, Xie Lin's expression was quite wonderful - she was not Furong, definitely not.
Although Xie Lin in this life had never seen a real Veela, he clearly remembered that Fleur's hair was beautiful bright silver.
The girl in front of her, like Fleur, took off the scarf wrapped around her head, revealing a head of eye-catching burgundy hair.
It must be explained here that the word redhead in English was invented in the twelfth century. The meaning of redhead here actually describes an orange color similar to oranges. The so-called children of the Weasley family all have red hair, but they are actually talking about orange hair color.
During that period, the word orange had always been used to describe fruit, and it was not until the end of the 15th century that it began to be commonly used to describe the color.
True naturally red hair does not exist in the scientific community. It was already extinct at least in 1991, because red hair is a recessive gene. It can be said to be extinct due to the dilution of genes from generation to generation.
Although there are methods of dyeing hair in the wizarding world, it is not common. Wizards prefer to maintain their natural hair color, as if it is a symbol of some kind of status.
The girl in front of her has burgundy hair, just like the color of the Sorcerer's Stone in Xie Lin's arms - in the wizarding world, there is only one family with this kind of hair color!
One of the 12 families of the Holy Blood in France, the Moreau family.
The Monro family is a famous super noble in France, and its status is comparable to that of the Malfoy family in Great Britain. Coincidentally, the direct descendants of this family are also very thin, and they have been passed down by a single line for centuries.
Xie Lin was no stranger to French pure-blood families, but when he saw the determination exuding from the girl in front of him, he was a little confused.
He had never heard of any precedent for the Monroe family to awaken the power of blood. Not to mention the rare blood talent of innate sword heart.
Daphne and Astoria thought Sherin was fascinated by each other's beauty, so they snorted dissatisfiedly.
Eleanor laughed out loud, "Hey, Mr. Malfoy, it's very ungentlemanly to be in a daze when a lady makes a request to you!"
Xie Lin came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I was distracted for a moment - we have finished this plate of fish soup, let me help you carry it over!"
"Okay, thank you." The girl's voice was low and magnetic, which sounded very comfortable.
Sherin picked up the plate and carefully followed her to her seat at the Ravenclaw table.
After the girl sat down, she showed a sweet smile and said, "Sir, thank you again for your warm hospitality. I am Katarina from the Monroe family. Just call me Katarina. I haven't asked you yet." name is?"
Xie Lin lowered his head slightly and said gracefully: "I am Malfoy, Xie Lin Malfoy."
"Ah, you are Xuelin!" Katalin seemed a little surprised. "Did you know that you also have many fans in Beauxbatons? I didn't expect you to be so young! I'm here to visit Hogwart. Well, one of my purposes is to meet you!"
In response to the enthusiasm shown by the girl, Xie Lin chose to reply calmly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you very much for your appreciation. I'm just a little lucky. I still have a lot to learn. Well, I'll go back now. I hope You can enjoy this meal happily.”
When Xie Lin returned to his seat, Draco smiled and said to Xie Lin: "Look at your expression, you are not interested in others, are you?" He paused and continued: "That girl is really extraordinary! I guess She is the heir of this generation of the Monroe family, and she is worthy of our Malfoy family!"
My brother, do you think I am a stallion?
Xie Lin couldn't deny it and said with a smile: "Draco, you are overthinking. I think the girls at Hogwarts are very good." After saying that, he also pointed in the direction of Daphne and Astoria. I took a few glances.
Both girls smiled at him.
Eleanor interrupted at this time. She smiled and said: "It seems that, Mr. Malfoy, you are quite popular with girls!" She lowered her voice and said meaningfully: "Four long tables, each with a long There are so many plates of French fish soup on the table, why did she choose the one in front of you?"
Xie Lin actually thought of this, but he chose to sit on the sidelines and not say anything.
Everyone was eating and chatting, and before they knew it, the plates on the table were empty.
Dumbledore stood up and introduced the two distinguished guests who had arrived - Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation, and Ludovic Bagman, Director of the Department of Sports. There was sparse applause in the auditorium.
"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly over the past few months to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued. "They will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Mark Together with Ms. Sim, we formed a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors.”
Dumbledore asked Filch to bring the Goblet of Fire to the podium and announced the rules of the Triwizard Tournament: three warriors, each representing a school, and the warriors were selected by the Goblet of Fire themselves; three challenging events , each project can be scored according to the completion status; the warrior with the highest cumulative score in the end will receive the Goblet of Fire!
"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. The registration time is only twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night, that is, On Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of the three students it believes best represent the three schools. Tonight, the Goblet will be placed in the foyer and will be accessible to all students willing to participate in the campaign."
"In order to prevent underage students from being tempted, once the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this age line."
Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into the Goblet of Fire. The registration period is only twenty-four hours and ends tomorrow night, which is Halloween On the night of , the Goblet of Fire will select the names of three students it believes best represent the three schools. In order to prevent underage students from being tempted, Dumbledore placed the Goblet of Fire in the hall and drew an age line around it. No one under the age of seventeen could cross this age line.
"Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate in the election to note that this competition is not a child's play. Do not participate rashly. Once the warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the competition to the end. Who will put himself Putting your name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. Therefore, please think twice and make sure that you really want to participate in the game wholeheartedly. Throw your name into the cup again. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night to everyone."
"Age line!" Draco said, his eyes sparkling. He turned to look at Xie Lin, "Xie Lin, you will sign up, right?"
Xie Lin shrugged and spread his hands, "Who knows? I'm afraid the principal's age line is not so easy to fool..."
The two brothers looked at each other, showing a tacit understanding of each other.
