The flames burned brightly, reflecting the expressions of everyone in the professor's chair.

Ludo Bagman was very excited, and kept winking and greeting everyone he saw.

Barty Crouch was serious, as if he didn't want to sit here at all.

The rest of the people had their own thoughts.

Karkaroff and Madame Maxime snorted at the same time after hearing that the Ministry of Magic had acknowledged that the age limit of the Goblet of Fire was no longer valid.

But they didn't say anything else, presumably Dumbledore had communicated with them in advance.

Karkaroff sat in the professor's chair, his face extremely gloomy.

Everyone knew that he was very dissatisfied, but he just didn't say it directly.

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the flames from the Goblet of Fire rolled up, and a piece of burnt parchment floated out of it, and then returned to blue and white.

Dumbledore stepped forward to take the parchment, read the contents clearly, and said loudly: "The champion of Durmstrang is, Viktor Krum!"

Cheers burst out, and the hall became noisy again.

Krum's fans are all over the world, and there are many of his fans in Hogwarts.

Krum stood up from the Durmstrang team, looking a little uninterested.

He walked in front of Dumbledore, who pointed to a small room next to the hall and motioned him to go in. Krum's back quickly disappeared behind the door.

Durmstrang's headmaster Karkaroff changed his face instantly, stood up from the professor's seat, and shouted loudly: "I knew it would be you! Great! Viktor!"

After a while, the cheers subsided.

At this time, the Goblet of Fire changed color again, and the second parchment was revealed.

Dumbledore announced loudly: "The Champion of Beauxbatons - Fleur Delacour!"

Fleur stood up from the long table of Ravenclaw and walked forward.

Applause broke out in the hall, but not as enthusiastic as that for Krum.

When passing Andy, Fleur glanced at him lightly, her expression seemed a little nervous, but she said nothing.

She pretended to be calm and walked into the small room next to the hall and closed the door gently.

Unlike when Krum was elected as the Champion, the students of Durmstrang also jumped up to cheer for him.

After Fleur's name was announced, the rest of the students in Beauxbatons looked very depressed.

Two girls lay directly on the table and cried.

Only Gabrielle, who was sitting next to them, cheered for her sister.

The excitement in the hall lasted only a short time before it became quiet again.

Everyone knew that the next one to be born was the Champion of Hogwarts.

Before Andy signed up, Cedric was the most promising candidate.

At least within Hufflepuff, everyone thought Cedric was the best.

But now the situation is different.

Because of Andy's joining, many students under the age of seventeen have put their names into the Goblet of Fire.

No one can say whether there will be an unexpected warrior among these people.

It could be Cedric, Andy, or an underage student who originally had no hope.

Dumbledore also knew that everyone was paying attention to the result.

As the flame of the Goblet of Fire spurted out for the third time tonight, another piece of burnt parchment was revealed.

Dumbledore seemed to deliberately whet everyone's appetite. He waited for a while before picking up the parchment.

"An unexpected result..." Dumbledore hesitated for a while before saying, "The champion of Hogwarts is - Andy Hall!"

The next moment, the cheers in the auditorium reached the maximum, as if they were going to break the ceiling of the auditorium.

Ravenclaw students jumped up and down like crazy, looking at Andy excitedly.

Qiu Zhang seemed particularly excited. Although she had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't control her emotions when this moment really came.

She grabbed Andy's arm and shouted, "You are telling the truth!"

Pavard also ran to Andy and patted Andy's shoulder hard: "Ravenclaw's Champion! Great!"

Qiu Zhang was surprised and said, "Don't you want to participate too?"

Pavard shrugged: "It's good to have Andy, why should I waste time signing up? If Andy can't be a champion, do you think I can?"

"Makes sense."

Among all the colleges, only the Hufflepuff table seemed a little quiet.

Andy was elected as the champion

Knight, which means Cedric has no chance.

But the Hufflepuff students did not have any extra hostility towards Andy.

They just applauded and celebrated the birth of the Hogwarts Knight.

Andy's action of breaking Dumbledore's age limit had a greater impact than he imagined.

At least his reputation among students has reached a well-known level.

Many Hufflepuff junior students also participated in the registration.

This made them unconsciously begin to fantasize about the possibility of being elected as a Knight. Originally, they supported Cedric.

Originally, Dumbledore's restrictions made them dare not imagine that they would have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Triwizard Tournament.

Andy gave them this opportunity.

It is two different things to give up on your own initiative and to be completely unqualified to participate in the competition.

So Andy's election as a Knight can be said to be what everyone expected.

Cedric sat in his seat in a daze, looking at Andy who was surrounded by people, and looked particularly lonely.

The Gryffindor table, including Harry, Hermione, and the twins, all looked at Andy in surprise.

They really didn't expect Andy to really become a warrior.

Ron quickly reacted and cheered loudly: "Good! At least it's better for Hall to become a warrior than Diggory! I'm tired of hearing his name these days!"

His words attracted a glare from the Hufflepuff students.

Andy stood up and walked forward.

He walked very slowly on purpose, and kept high-fiving and greeting people around him along the way.

It's not over yet. If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen soon.

There was a commotion in the professors' seats. Karkaroff was the first to stand up and shouted, "No! This is unfair! He is not yet seventeen years old. I do not agree to his eligibility to participate!"

Professor Flitwick looked at Karkaroff and said, "So, Viktor Krum will be afraid of an opponent younger than him, is that what you mean?"

"What? No!" Karkaroff shouted, "I never said such a thing, but the warrior selected by Hogwarts violated the rules we set at the beginning."

Ludo Bagman smiled and said, "Don't be like this, Karkaroff, this is good! An underage wizard broke through the registration limit by himself, and the newspapers will like this story."

"Huh, maybe, but if we know this, we should probably bring the entire school of students to Hogwarts so that they all have the opportunity to register, instead of just selecting a part of the representatives." Madam Maxime said sarcastically.

It was Dumbledore who finally came out to make the final decision: "Okay, both headmasters, we just discussed this situation, didn't we? We all had no objection to it at the time."

"As Professor Flitwick said, Hogwarts has selected an underage champion, and the decision of the Goblet of Fire cannot be changed. He must participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

"If there is a choice, I also hope that the champion of Hogwarts is already an adult. In this way, at least it is on the same level as the players of the other two schools, ensuring relative fairness."

Dumbledore's yin and yang level has an overwhelming advantage.

As soon as he said this, Karkaroff and Madam Maxime stopped talking.

Madam Maxime said one thing and meant another. She just had to stand on the opposite side of Hogwarts and oppose Andy based on her position.

When Andy broke the age limit, it was in front of Madam Maxime.

If Andy, who has this ability, is not qualified to be a champion, then no one can be a champion.

Dumbledore's meaning is very simple. Andy is only fifteen years old, while the warriors in your school are at least seventeen years old and adults.

From an objective point of view, Andy is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of age.

So it's enough. Don't take advantage of others and act like a good kid.
