I wield a sword at Hogwarts

You isolate them all by yourself?

Karkaroff also noticed Heinrich. He looked a little bad, but he still restrained himself from having an attack.

Edgar was notoriously paranoid, and seeing Heinrich always reminded Karkaroff of the Edgar who was with Voldemort.

That was an uncomfortable guy, especially after the Death Eaters were captured and he didn't receive any news that the other party had been captured.

This scared Karkaroff even more.

"The starry sky is so interesting. We don't have such magic there."

Krum is the most famous among the Durmstrangs. In terms of popularity, Karkaroff is not as high as him.

Malfoy wanted to develop into Quidditch in the future, so he was very interested in Krum.

"My name is Draco Malfoy, Seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team."

He and Krum were talking. They were both seekers and liked Quidditch equally, so they could chat.

John didn't chat. He noticed that four more chairs were added to the staff position.

Two belonged to the two headmasters, and two were probably given to people from the Ministry of Magic.

Johnny Silverhand representatives will come over after the game starts.

After all, it is the sponsor, and Hogwarts also has to look at the money.

The teachers came in, and they filed over to the guest of honor seat and sat down.

Walking at the back were the three principals, Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Ms. Maxim.

Beauxbatons was closer to European-style education. When they saw the principal coming out, they stood up hurriedly and waited until Ms. Maxim took her seat before sitting down.

It's nothing like the free-range education at Hogwarts.

Several Hogwarts students didn't seem to understand this behavior and couldn't help laughing.

Dumbledore did not sit down, but stood there until the hall fell silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and...especially distinguished guests." Dumbledore said, looking at the foreign students with a smile, "It is with great joy that I welcome you to Huo Gwartz. I hope and trust that you will feel comfortable and happy here."

Beauxbatons gave a sneer, seeming to be amused by this statement.

"The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet. I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you would at home!"

Dumbledore didn't like long speeches, so he finished speaking in a hurry and sat down. Karkaroff immediately went over to talk to him.

The plate in front of me was suddenly filled with food.

John took some randomly and put it on the plate.

John reckons he would be happy if he could see so much foreign food before.

Unfortunately, now even the delicious French fish soup tastes like boiled water in his mouth.

Malfoy didn't shut up even after the banquet started, and he and Krum became more and more animated.

Krum was quite perfunctory at first, but after hearing some of Malfoy's arguments, he gradually became serious.

Daphne looked disgusted, and the two chatted while eating, spitting everywhere.

She sipped the soup gracefully with a spoon, and a fragrant breeze blew around her.

A girl's intuition tells her that this person must be a serious problem.

Sure enough, Hibiscus, who had untied her headscarf, attracted a lot of attention.

She calmly left the Ravenclaw table and came to Slytherin.

"John, we meet again."

Her silver hair was as smooth as silk. With just one look, Fleur made a boy blush and get out of the way.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the French fish soup.

"John, don't you want to eat?"

When John saw this, he chuckled, reached out and knocked on the table, and the French fish soup flew up and landed in front of Fleur.

She smiled beautifully, showing her white and neat teeth, "Thank you."

Daphne looked over with light gray-blue eyes warily. After seeing this, Fleur raised an eyebrow in response.

This made Daphne so angry that she muttered: "What's the matter? John likes to eat my cooking the most!"

Pansy on the side is speechless. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Krum was also attracted to Fleur, but after just a brief moment of surprise, he recovered.

Like a blind man discovering Hua Dian, he said uncertainly: "You all wear the same badge?"

He looked at a few people, forgetting the students of Hogwarts, why did Heinrich and Fleur also wear the same style.

He speaks bluntly and with an accent, but it doesn't affect the conversation.

Malfoy puffed up his chest and said proudly: "We are all members of the Star Society."

"Star Club?" Krum was a little confused.

Fleur picked up the French fish soup and was about to go back to Ravenclaw. John stopped her and chuckled: "Let's get together later. The badge will guide you there."

"Okay." Furong carefully held the French fish soup. She looked like she was holding some kind of treasure. She probably really loved it.

The banquet is over.

The golden plates were cleaned.

Dumbledore stood up again, a mixture of excitement and nervousness filling the auditorium.

John was not affected. He just glanced at the empty seats and thought that old Barty should seize this opportunity.

"The moment has finally arrived," Dumbledore smiled at the upturned faces. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words before bringing the box in."

Box?

The students noticed this and whispered about what kind of box it was.

Dumbledore said to himself: "First of all, please allow me to introduce two guests. They are Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic."

Applause erupted in the auditorium.

"This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic."

Applause broke out again. The students were no strangers to these two people.

Both men's names came up several times during the World Cup.

Old Buddy forced a stiff smile on his face, because John said that this would make him appear more approachable.

The wizard robe on his body was meticulously taken care of, letting people know that Old Barty was a very strict person. The butterfly tie on his chest also gave people a sense of relaxation and would not make people feel depressed.

John specially invited a stylist to design this for Old Barty. The main purpose was to gain a good impression.

Most of the people in the school are students. Being too strict may be bad, but being relaxed and moderate is the last word.

Old Barty also brought Percy over, but he was standing aside and did not go over.

Percy nodded in the direction of John, and John clicked his badge to signal him to meet again later.

All the members of the Star Club were here, and John felt it was necessary to celebrate again.

Dumbledore continued to talk, but it was all about how hard Barty and Ludo were working, and he didn't listen carefully.

Anyway, the point is that the judging panel consists of two Directors of the Ministry of Magic and three Headmasters.

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore asked Filch to bring the box up.

Filch wore a brand new tuxedo and brought over a large wooden box studded with jewels.

Some students stood on the stools to get a better view.

Filch carefully placed the box on the table while Dumbledore was still explaining the process.

This Triwizard Tournament will be divided into three events, which will be held at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many aspects.

Such as magical talent, courage, reasoning ability and the ability to overcome danger...

"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition," Dumbledore continued calmly, "each representing a participating school."

"We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each event. After the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is a fair selector, which is... Goblet of Fire!"

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times.

The lid of the box opened slowly, and the creaking sound was a bit harsh.

Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, roughly carved wooden goblet.

Although the cup didn't look like much, it was filled with dancing blue flames.

"Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet."

"Those who are interested in becoming warriors can register within twenty-four hours. Tomorrow, on Halloween night, the Goblet will select the warrior it thinks can best represent the three schools."

"Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the foyer, where it will be accessible to all students willing to run for office."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when John heard "everyone can touch it", he always felt that he expected people to break the rules.

Of course, Dumbledore was no fool. He set an age line for the Goblet of Fire.

Persons under age are not allowed to enter.

…

Chapter 203 The second party and the first meeting

Finally, Dumbledore emphasized the Goblet of Fire contract.

Once a contract is formed, you cannot refuse to participate when your name is flying out of it.

This also calmed down some young wizards who were eager to become famous.

The Goblet of Fire was placed in the foyer, on the stool where the Sorting Hat was usually placed.

The party was over and everyone started to leave.

"Okay, let's go back to the ship." Karkaroff came to the Slytherin table and greeted Krum kindly: "Viktor, how do you feel? Are you full? Do you want me? Send for some mulled wine from the kitchen?”

He has a kind and kind attitude, as if he is a principal who treats students very well.

But when another Durmstrang classmate mouthed salivatingly, asking if he could have some mulled wine.

Karkaroff seemed to have changed and said sternly: "I didn't ask you, Poliarco!"

"I noticed you dripped food down the front of your robe again, you nasty boy!"

The attitude changed so quickly that the Slytherins were stunned.

Goyle asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Is he Krum's father?"

Not only him, but other students also felt this way.

When Karkaroff heard this, he glared at Gall fiercely.

John chuckled. It seemed that there were biased people in any school.

Ms. Maxim came over with her students, and the expression on Karkaroff's face changed, as if nothing had happened.

"John, we meet again."

Ms. Maxim was in a good mood. After seeing John, she came over to say hello.

The Beauxbatons students looked over with some curiosity. John stood up and said in a humble tone: "My pleasure, Ms. Maxim. Hogwarts also has many fun places. I hope you will enjoy your stay."

There was nothing wrong with his behavior, which made the Beauxbatons students' eyes brighten.

"You are still like that, which makes me think I should take you to Beauxbatons," Ms. Maxim paused, then said, "But it seems you don't need it now."

She looked towards the Slytherin table, where the students glared at her.

She smiled, nodded slightly to Karkaroff, and left with the students.

Fleur blinked and reached out to touch the badge, indicating that she would go to the Star Club gathering.

Only then did Karkaroff turn his attention to John. When he saw Heinrich beside him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes and he said, "Heinrich, you should go back with us."
