Infinite Darkness Rise

A group of people entered the auditorium, and the students from Hogwarts and the other two schools were all seated.The previous two newcomers were dressed completely differently from these students, and they were not teachers, so they hadn't sat down yet, and were awkwardly standing beside the seats of the crowd, looking back and forth.

When Xu Le and others went in, the two quickly returned to the team.Filch, the castle manager of Hogwarts, stood up maliciously and stared at the ten of them: "Who are you? You are neither students nor professors. How did you enter Hogwarts castle?"

Xu Le cast his eyes on Dumbledore, and Dumbledore stood up and said, "Mr. Filch, please arrange seats for them. They are arranged by the "Daily Prophet" to report the Goblet of Fire Triwizard Tournament. The reporter will live in Hogwarts Castle for a period of time, so please don't react too aggressively."

Hearing this, Filch shook his head in dissatisfaction, and arranged the ten people on one side of the teachers' long table.

After Dumbledore stood up, he didn't sit down again. The noise in the auditorium gradually disappeared, and the entire auditorium gradually became quiet.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and, of course, special — distinguished guests."

"It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts, and I hope and trust that you will find yourself comfortable and happy here."

These words are not very popular, except for the brainless lion cubs with blood on the dining table of Gryffindor College, let alone the cold and shivering Beauxbaton's students, they are Hogwarts students. There were also complaints from students who felt cold from waiting.

Of course, Dumbledore would not be disturbed by this unfriendly atmosphere, he continued to speak and raised his voice: "The Tournament will officially start at the end of the banquet. I invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you want, just like in your own home." Same!"

After he finished speaking, he sat down, and at the same time, the dining table was piled up with all kinds of food.There were British ones and some foreign ones. The students ate with great enjoyment, but Xu Le and the others felt a little disgusted.

"Just treat it as an adventure." Yasuda Kiyoshi held the fork, stirred the food on the table little by little, and tasted their flavors one by one.

"What is this? Looking up at the starry sky pie? And this? Steak and kidney pudding... what is this called?" Seeing him enjoying himself while tasting, Xu Le and the others were very happy. I admire his courage of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and walking towards the tigers".

The two walked into the hall. Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Madam Maxim stood up to greet them, and the rest of the teachers also stood up together.Of these two people, one has a ruddy complexion, is slightly fat, and is a little sloppy, while the other is very neat, with a beard like a toothbrush, and his hair is not messy, and his wizard robes are also in perfect order. same as precise measurement.

The two sat next to Dumbledore, and about a quarter of an hour later, after everyone had eaten, all the food on the plate disappeared, empty, and then the plate also disappeared.

"The moment has finally come." Dumbledore stood up and said, "Before that, I will introduce two people, and then explain our activity procedures, and finally it is the Goblet of Fire's turn."

"First, Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic..."

There was sparse applause in the auditorium.

"And this one, Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic." The applause grew louder.

Xu Le looked at Barty Crouch Jr. who was pretending to be Mad-Eye Moody. At this moment, Barty Crouch Jr. was staring at his father with a strong sense of mockery.

At this time, his father, Barty Crouch, had been controlled by his master with the Imperius Curse.After some time, he will kill his father himself, not because of misunderstanding or mistake, but because of his master, Voldemort.

This man was calm and crazy, well-planned but ruthless, the word insane was the best word to describe him.

"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly on the arrangements for the Triwizard Tournament. The two of them will form the jury with me, Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim, Appreciate the efforts of the Warriors."

Dumbledore spoke again, and all the students paid more attention.

"Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

Following Dumbledore's words, Filch walked towards Dumbledore holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels, while Dumbledore continued to speak.

"This year's Triwizard Tournament has been decided. There are three items to be completed within one month. The warriors' talent in magic, courage, reasoning ability, and of course the ability to overcome danger are tested. Each item is After careful arrangements..."

Xu Le and the others looked at each other and knew in their hearts: This is the result of mission space control. The shortening of the event spanning a year to one month is precisely to control the mission time.And within such a short period of time, all contradictions will inevitably intensify, and the battle will become more intense.

"There are a total of three warriors participating in the competition, representing the three magic schools of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. The referees will give corresponding points according to their performance. After the three items are completed, the points will be awarded. The tallest warrior will win this Triwizard Tournament."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out his wand, tapped the box Filch had sent over three times, then reached in and pulled out a rough wooden goblet.The cup itself was nothing the same, but filled with a throbbing blue-white flame.

"This is the Goblet of Fire, pick the props of the warrior. Every student who wants to be a warrior needs to write his name and school name on the parchment and throw it into the goblet. Within 24 hours from now until tomorrow night, It's time for registration, the goblet will be placed in the hall, and all students who are willing to participate in the election can touch it."

"In order to prevent underage students from being tempted, I will draw an age line around it, and no one under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line."

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that every student who put in their names should notice that the Triwizard Tournament is not a joke. Once you are selected, you must go through the game to the end. If you don't participate in the competition wholeheartedly, please don't put your name in. Go in. Now, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed, good night."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he was about to continue, but a voice interrupted him: "Mr. Principal, I am Cassia, a reporter from the "Daily Prophet", do you have time to answer a few questions for me? "
