The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 259 News of the Triwizard Tournament (for subscription, for collection, for tickets)

As Hagrid led a group of newbies into the auditorium, everyone fell silent.This year's freshmen are shaking more than previous freshmen, which may be related to the fact that each of them is soaked.

The thousand-year-old Sorting Hat is pulled out again, and a new song is sung afterwards.But to be honest, this kind of stinky, long and out-of-tune song is really tormenting people's ears.

Finally, the song ended, and everyone applauded to express their happiness at returning to the tranquility in their ears.As one newcomer after another was called up to Ryan they began whispering about the freshmen.

Colin's younger brother was assigned to Gryffindor. As soon as he ran to the table, he excitedly told his elder brother the miraculous experience of being rolled up by a giant squid and put back on the boat after falling into the lake.After that, Colin began to introduce seniors and sisters to his younger brother.

Naturally, Harry was the first to be introduced, which is a must as the backbone of the Harry fan club.Of course, this enthusiasm made Harry a little embarrassed, and he turned his eyes to the Sorting Hat to stare carefully, as if there was something on it that attracted attention.When Colin introduced Lane, Lane nodded with a smile, and then with a wave of his wand, Dennis' clothes were also dried.

"Thank you senior." Dennis thanked him very politely.

The sorting ceremony ended soon, but fortunately, there were no leaders to speak.Dumbledore stood up and just looked at all the classmates with a smile, and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.

"I have only two words for you," he said, his voice echoing in the auditorium, "Eat!"

No wonder Dumbledore became a respected headmaster, because he knew that what everyone needed in this situation was a hot dinner rather than some long speech.For a while, the entire auditorium fell silent, only the sound of knives and forks hitting plates and chewing.

Hermione learned from Nick that there are hundreds of elves in Hogwarts.But this time she just paused, and then continued to eat the steak in front of her.It seems that both the influence of Ryan and the fact that Harry was almost killed by Dobby changed Hermione's perception of house-elves.

Soon everyone was stuffed, with the final desserts being packed away.Dumbledore's voice sounded again in the Great Hall.

First, it is routine to add a few contraband items and explain what places are not allowed to go.But Ryan never listened to these things. After all, he was full of things that didn't conform to school rules, and he would go to the Forbidden Forest to meet his friends on average once a month.

After introducing this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Moody to everyone, there was only sporadic applause below. Ryan glanced at Moody above, and saw his magic eyes constantly scanning the students below. and the professors around.

After Ryan observed Moody on the stage for a few seconds, Moody turned his magic eyes as if he sensed something.Ryan could only quickly turn his gaze to other places.Anyway, after a short observation, Ryan has no way of judging whether this Moody is real, so he can only talk about it in class in the future.

At this time, everyone feels a little tired after eating, and many people even feel drowsy.At this time, Dumbledore released an explosive news.

"I also regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year!"

Boom, the entire auditorium was in commotion.As we all know, Quidditch is the only sport in the wizarding world.The meaning of Dumbledore's words is equivalent to that of a middle school principal telling students that all physical education classes have been canceled this year.If it weren't for his high prestige, it is estimated that there are voices of protest all over the place now.Soon everyone fell silent and waited for Dumbledore to explain further.

Fortunately, Dumbledore did not disappoint everyone, he quickly cleared his throat and explained.

"This is because a huge event will start in October and continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and energy - but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it. It's my great pleasure to announce that , for the next few months at Hogwarts this year, we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has not been held in over a century. It is with great pleasure that I report that the Triwizard The tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

You may find that everyone is impatient, but Dumbledore said this very simply.

"Oh no—are you kidding me?" Fred exclaimed in shock.

"I'm not joking, Mr Weasley," said Dumbledore, smiling broadly, "but since you mentioned joking, I did hear a very funny one about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun. , they all went into the same tavern..."

Well, it can be seen that Dumbledore is a very humorous person, but it is obviously inappropriate to say this at this time.Fortunately, Professor McGonagall coughed at the right time, and saved the headmaster's topic from going off the road in a very timely manner.

Under the supervision of Professor McGonagall, the principal finally popularized the story of the Triwizard Tournament for those who don’t know much about the game—of course, Ryan, who even knew the content of the game, was not impatient at all, and took every word seriously Listened to the whole speech.

After all, after more than three years of accumulated strength, he has reached a certain level. After a series of thinking, Ryan decided to give up his previous state of fishing.After all, on the one hand, his own strength has improved greatly in the past, and he can have the capital to directly participate in the plot to obtain more offset points.

On the other hand, unlike the introverted Easterners, the West admires people who can express themselves well.Just like in western schools, the football team captains and cheerleaders are the most conspicuous instead of the best students.Now that Ryan has convened an organization, he must find a way to show his leadership skills.And the Triwizard Tournament is the best stage.

As for what the principal said at the end, the regulation restricting applicants over the age of 17 was directly ignored by Ryan.He now has several methods that may be able to break through the detection magic, and if none of these methods work, Ryan will give up directly.

After all, the principal's age group is actually a kind of test. If Ryan can't break through, it means that there is a certain gap between his strength and his self-assessment, which means that his own strength cannot guarantee a safe completion of the game.In this case, Ryan would not be ashamed to play hard.

After saying these words, Dumbledore sent everyone to bed.Hermione approached Ryan when she was returning to the Gryffindor Tower and asked, "Will you participate in this competition?"

After all, Hermione still remembered how Ryan took her as a hindrance to penetrate the entire Pyramid Temple copy last year, so she asked this question.In her eyes, the Triwizard Tournament was no more difficult than dealing with a bunch of dark wizards and evil magical creatures.

"I can only say that I really want to participate, but I don't know what method Dumbledore will use to limit everyone's age." Ryan shrugged and replied to Hermione.

On the way, the Weasley twins said loudly that they would use aging agents to get away with it, but Ryan felt that at least this method could not fool Dumbledore.

After a heated discussion, everyone went to bed separately. After all, everyone was very tired after traveling in the wind and rain for a day.Ryan also returned to his dormitory with the crowd, but he didn't go to sleep immediately, but began to think about ways to deceive Dumbledore's age group.
