Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 244 The principal said: The Triwizard Tournament will be held this year
The moment Dumbledore finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

This news can be said to have detonated the whole audience instantly.

Because the Quidditch World Cup has just ended a week ago, although there was a little accident after the game, everyone was holding their breath and planning to have a big fight in the Quidditch match. Who would have thought that Dumbledore would directly announce No more fun!
Harry turned to look at his teammates on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Fred and George. They also stared at Dumbledore silently with their mouths wide open.As if this would make Dumbledore take back what he said before.

Eisen noticed that the expressions on the faces of all the students, whether they were Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, even stiffened.Their shocked expressions already showed their mood.

In fact, Eisen can basically understand the reaction of the little wizards.

Because there are indeed too few entertainment options in the wizarding world.It is rare that the entire wizarding world, both adult wizards and minor wizards, likes the sport of Quidditch.As a result, Hogwarts also canceled it.

In this case, how can the little wizards persevere in this school year?

"This can't be—" Ron couldn't help shouting.

"Why did this happen? I took good care of the Rocket Crossbow during the holidays!" Harry seemed to have regained his composure, and when he remembered that the Firebolts he had cared for during the holidays were no longer useful, his face became sad.

For a moment, the discussion of the little wizards seemed to be roaring, trying to overturn the entire auditorium.

"Okay, I have to say -" Dumbledore opened his hand and made a pressing motion, "The reason why we won't play Quidditch this year is because a large-scale event will start in October and last throughout the school year. .

This event takes up a lot of teachers' energy and time, but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it.Let me tell you that this event has not been held for more than a century. I am very honored to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament, a very exciting event, will be held at Hogwarts this year! "

"You're kidding!" Fred Weasley shouted.

"Ha, I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "But since you mentioned joking, I have heard a very interesting joke about..."

Seeing that Dumbledore was so interested, Professor McGonagall had to clear her throat loudly.

"Fred, George, the Triwizard Tournament is a very interesting thing that Bill, Charlie, and mom and dad said?" Ron seemed to have remembered something, and looked at the two of them in a hurried voice.

"Charlie said he would see us soon. So they were talking about the Triwizard Tournament?" George had a surprised look on his face.

Afterwards, several people looked at each other.

"Professor Eisen said that this is what Dumbledore would tell us!" Hermione nodded, the expression on her face not so disappointed.

"Oh, it's not appropriate to say this now." When Professor McGonagall reminded him, Dumbledore twirled his beard slightly embarrassed, and then continued with a smile, "The Triwizard Tournament... By the way, there are some among you. People may not know what this game is all about.

So, I ask those who know the situation to forgive me for being a little wordy and I allow their minds to wander for a while. "

As Dumbledore spoke, his tone paused slightly, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he nodded in satisfaction.

Despite what Dumbledore said, Eisen noticed that most students were very aware of this.Except for students like Hermione and Harry who grew up in Muggle families, other students actually already knew what the Triwizard Tournament was about.

In fact, it makes sense. After all, no matter how casual the family education in the wizarding world is, they will not ignore the honorable event of the Triwizard Tournament.

The Triwizard Tournament probably existed more than 700 years ago, and it was held by the three largest magic schools in Europe.Besides Hogwarts, there is also Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

This event was the best battlefield for all students at that time to gain glory.It has a long history and has been held every five years for 600 years.However, the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted a century ago because of too many deaths.

Some students who didn't know the inside story were shocked when they heard Dumbledore mention the death toll when he introduced the Triwizard Tournament.

Of course, most of the students who already knew the inside story started whispering among themselves excitedly.

"Over the centuries, people have made several attempts to restore the Tournament," Dumbledore continued with a smile, "but none of them were successful.

However, our Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic believe that the time is ripe for another attempt.We have made a lot of preparations this summer to ensure that every warrior will not be in danger. "

Hearing this, the corner of Eisen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.He felt that efforts to revive the Triwizard Tournament should be questionable.After all, as Dumbledore said, the body count is a very important point.

However, the time for the Triwizard Tournament was just right.After all, something big happened at the Quidditch World Cup some time ago, and the Ministry of Magic must want to divert people's attention.

After scanning the students sitting at the long table, Eisen suppressed the urge to yawn, thinking about the selection of warriors.

But after thinking for a long time, Eisen had to agree with the fact that Cedric was good enough.You know, when the trio was in fourth grade, Cedric was still in sixth grade.

But unfortunately, there are so many seventh-grade students in the entire Hogwarts school, but they are surpassed by a sixth-grade student. This is very impressive.

The young wizards in the audience were still discussing the Triwizard Tournament enthusiastically, as if they had all been selected to become warriors.

Then, Dumbledore on the stage announced that people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would come to Hogwarts in October, and then start selecting warriors on Halloween.

When Dumbledore said that the winner would receive a thousand galleons, the whole auditorium burst into excitement.

"This is a great opportunity, George!" Fred said excitedly, his face lighting up.

"Yes, we must participate!" George lowered his voice and said, also dreaming of becoming a Hogwarts warrior.

At every table in the house, there were people looking at Dumbledore with eager eyes, or whispering to the people sitting next to them.

Looking at the students below, Aisen's lips curled up slightly.Because he knew that Dumbledore hadn't finished speaking yet.

"However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agreed that an age limit should be set for this year's competitors." Sure enough, Dumbledore continued with a smile.

In the angry eyes of the Weasley twin brothers, Dumbledore announced the age limit. If you want to sign up, you must be 17 years old.

Not only Fred and George, but many students below also made protests.

"This is unfair, this is discrimination -"

"It's unbelievable that the school excluded us!"

……

"This measure is necessary because the events of the Tournament are still very difficult and dangerous!" Dumbledore seemed to have not heard the objections of the young wizards. "Therefore, if you are under 17 years old, don't waste it. Time to apply.”

……

This age limit is very reasonable in Eisen's opinion.After all, the abilities of lower-level students are indeed very poor, and participating in the Triwizard Tournament will indeed put their lives in danger.

However, based on the current strength of the trio, Eisen feels that they should have no problem coping with the dangers of the Triwizard Tournament.

But obviously, rules are rules, and Dumbledore has no power to make exceptions for Harry and others.

Even though Dumbledore made the restrictions very clear, the little wizards below were still very excited.They kept discussing the Triwizard Tournament and who could become the warrior.

"Okay, it's getting late now. It's very important for you to walk into class tomorrow morning with a fresh mind and a clear head. Go to bed! Hurry!" Looking at the jubilation of the little wizards, Dumbledore paused deliberately 1 minutes, then waved his hand and said to everyone.

Everyone returned to their common rooms as the principal said.But it can be seen that everyone is very excited, and they are chattering about what they will do if they get a thousand Galleons.

Dumbledore wanted the students to go to bed early, but obviously, there were probably a lot of people who would not be able to sleep tonight.
