One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 240 Goblet of Fire

Those who are most dissatisfied with this matter are only the fifth and fourth graders who are approaching the age of 17. They really don’t want to miss this grand event. The first and second graders actually don’t care about it, and they dare not participate in the flame Cup, but at this time it is like joining in the fun, shouting with the fifth and fourth grade students to vent their emotions.

There were even Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students who had known about this for a long time, and they shouted after watching the fun.

The auditorium was filled with the dissatisfied shouts of the students, suppressing the voice of Barty Crouch, especially Gryffindor and the spiritual leader, the leader of the twin brothers Weasley, the king of mischief, and the momentum was even higher. turbulent.

For a time, the students at Hogwarts seemed to be trying to overthrow Dumbledore's tyranny, liberate Hogwarts, and gain freedom.

"Quiet!"

In the face of the crowded scene, Barty Crouch not only did not flinch, but waved his wand angrily:

The tip of the staff spewed out surging flames, and condensed into a huge flaming griffin in the air, roaring furiously, and the hairs were all towering!
The flaming griffin fluttered its wings in anger, and flew towards the students, passing over their heads, allowing them to experience the taste of being burned by the flames, but it was very measured and did not really hurt them. .

Too jumpy, the dazzling red-haired Weasley twins were caught in their hair, and they were punished by Barty Crouch.

How could Barty Crouch, the former Executive Director of the Ministry of Magic and the candidate for the next Minister of Magic, be intimidated by a group of students.

After the Fire Griffon circled around the field for a week, the students were almost scared to lie down under the table. Only Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu could cast spells without using a magic wand, and were able to resist the flames, and could still sit in their original positions.

After all the students stopped clamoring, Barty Crouch canceled the magic, the flame griffin disappeared like fireworks in the air, and then faced the calm students, his voice was loud and cold:
"The Goblet of Fire is very dangerous. There have been many contestants who died in the competition in the past. That's why the Ministry of Magic does not allow young wizards under the age of 17 who are not proficient in magic spells to participate."

"I would rather you don't understand the truth for a while, than see you go to death recklessly and ignorantly."

The lower grade students were all frightened by Barty Crouch. Weasley, who was picking his head, was still helping each other to put out the fire in each other's hair, and the classmates were quiet like quails.

Barty Crouch nodded with satisfaction, and continued what he had just interrupted:

"The Goblet of Fire will be divided into three categories, and the referees will give points based on your performance in each category, and the person with the highest score will win the trophy."

Speaking of Barty Crouch, the Ministry of Magic's trophy with double dragons around its ears made of crystal and gold is revealed. It is not a magic weapon, and it is not precious, but it symbolizes glory.

"The judge of the Goblet of Fire will be a wise man with high morals. The members of the judge team are Mr. Spencer, the president of the Emerald Society, and Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Speaking of Spencer, no one responded yet, but when Dumbledore was mentioned, the students at Hogwarts cheered for their headmaster, clapping the table. This is what the game calls home field advantage.

After the enthusiasm of the students passed, Barty Crouch continued:

"And Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master of the Eastern Celestial Master Mansion."

The scene was a little cold. Only Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu were present. There was no way to be at Hogwarts. Except for the professor, none of the students had heard of Zhang Zhiwei's name.

"And the headmaster of the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mrs Olim Maxime."

Madame Maxime beckoned, and the girls from Beauxbatons screamed for their headmaster.

"Headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mr. Igor Karkaroff."

"And Barty Crouch of the Ministry of Magic, my lord, will be the last referee."

There were sporadic laughter from the student seats under the podium, and Barty Crouch's little humor at the end made the students brighten their eyes, thinking that he was not as scary as before.

Now Barty Crouch is scarier than Professor McGonagall in the senses of the students, but kinder than Snape, at least Snape can't tell jokes.

After Barty Crouch's introduction, Dumbledore tapped the urn with his wand, and the gold and gems outside the urn melted like hot chocolate, revealing the flame hidden inside by Merlin himself. cup.

Although it was almost an auditorium away from the Goblet of Fire, and the distance was a little farther, Hu Xiuwu still relied on his profound eyesight to get a panoramic view of the Goblet of Fire.

The overall shape of the Goblet of Fire looks like a goblet used by a giant, but the workmanship is rough, and even the outer wall is not polished, which does not match its extraordinary raw materials and glorious background at all. .

After the Goblet of Fire was completely exposed to the outside world, a faint blue flame rose in the Goblet of Fire, like a small blue sun, suspended above the Goblet of Fire.

The wooden cup holds the fire,

The foreign seniors in the West are also very good at playing. The blue flame is mysterious. As an expert in playing with fire, Hu Xiuwu seems to smell a great will from it.

It is vast and sacred, and it does not touch the dust. It seems to have a trace of divinity, like a god looking at the world, looking for the real righteous people in the world.

Hu Xiuwu also tried to explore the deeper secrets of the Goblet of Fire, and saw Dumbledore standing in front of the Goblet of Fire, waving his hand to draw a faint blue age circle around the Goblet of Fire, locking the Goblet of Fire in the circle, only People over the age of 17 can cross this circle.

"Those who want to participate in the Goblet of Fire can put their name into the fire by Thursday night, and the Goblet of Fire will select the warriors who meet the requirements."

"But!" Dumbledore raised his voice again, still wanting to remind the students, "Once you are selected, you cannot change it. You will fight alone until the end, so please think carefully and don't be a hero."

"Okay, let's start the dinner!"

Dumbledore shouted, and water and food began to appear on the long table.

First it was the freshman branch, then it was the Eastern and Western school art competition, and then I heard about the Goblet of Fire competition. I was excited for a long time, and I was already hungry.

The children began to feast on each other. Hufflepuff, as the most delicious college, not only has the food provided by the school kitchen, but also the special food contributed by the students.

The special candies produced by the candy store are zizi honey candy and apple pie, which can tell you aloud, the best roast turkey there.

It really opened the eyes of Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu,

Hu Xiuwu also took out the food he had stored from Luo Fengtian in case of emergency.

As an old glutton, even if it is dry food, it is also some rare delicacies, ham from Jinhua, roast duck from Sijiucheng, jerky from grassland, and all kinds of dried fruit, all of which have a long shelf life but are delicious food.

He even took out a charcoal grill from Luo Fengtian, and heated the pouches from the northwest for others directly on the spot, wrapped in thick meat sauce, which was well received, and Hufflepuff's students were also curious asked about Hu Xiuwu's situation in the east.

Mainly the utensils for eating in the East, the production methods of dishes, and what special foods.

Even if Zhang Lingyu doesn't understand English, in such a simple and warm atmosphere, she feels very comfortable.

After drinking and eating, the students left one after another and went back to the lounges of the various colleges to rest. The Durmstrang students returned to the school boat, and the Beauxbatons girls also returned to their carriages.

After declining Hufflepuff's invitation, Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu, along with Tianshi and Bi Youlong, returned to the guest room that Hogwarts had prepared for them.
