The Little Superman of Hogwarts
#247 - Chapter 247 [The Tri-Strong Cup Begins (1)]
The people on the ship were coming ashore, and Harry and the others could see their silhouettes in the light from the portholes. Harry noticed that they were all over six feet tall… However, as they got closer and walked into the light cast by the entrance hall, Harry realized that the reason they seemed so bulky was because they were all wearing fur cloaks, the fur on which was messy and tangled. However, the fur worn by the man leading them toward the castle was of a different kind: silvery-white, soft, and smooth, much like his hair.
"Dumbledore!" the man shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope. "My dear old friend, how are you?"
"Very well, thank you, Professor Karkaroff," Dumbledore replied.
Karkaroff's voice was smooth and sweet. As he stepped into the light streaming from the castle's main entrance, they saw that he was as tall and thin as Dumbledore, but his white hair was short, and his goatee (with curled ends) didn't completely hide his gaunt chin. He walked up to Dumbledore and shook his hand with both hands.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Karkaroff turned his attention and looked directly at Kree.
Kree took a step forward and shook hands with Karkaroff, who looked at Kree with deep, admiring eyes. He was very tall.
Although Kree was already over six feet tall, he was still slightly shorter than Karkaroff.
Karkaroff used a long string of praises for Kree. If one were to simply listen to these praises, it might make one feel that Kree was simply a perfect man.
The surrounding young wizards were divided into two groups: one group admired Kree immensely, while the other group was somewhat envious and jealous…
Especially Malfoy, who couldn't wait to rush up and take Kree's place.
Kree's presence with Dumbledore in welcoming everyone from the two magic schools made him particularly noticeable.
The Durmstrang students took off their heavy fur cloaks and looked up with interest at the dark, star-studded ceiling. Two of the students even picked up the golden plates and goblets, examining them carefully, obviously very interested.
As Kree and Dumbledore and the others began to walk into the hall, a gaze came from the crowd—Cedric!
It had been two months since the start of school, and in fact, in the past two months, Kree, Hermione, and Ginny had been giving Cedric all sorts of training.
It could be said without reservation that the current Cedric was already a completely different being from the Cedric of two months ago…
"Whether you can overcome your own destiny depends on your own efforts!" Kree sighed inwardly.
Kree turned his gaze and looked at another person—Mad-Eye Moody!
In the original story, Mad-Eye Moody had been replaced before the start of school. But in fact, according to Kree's observation, he had not been replaced by Barty Crouch Jr. In the past two months, under the leadership of Moody, this responsible teacher, the Hogwarts students' level of defense against the dark arts had rapidly improved.
In the original story, Moody put Harry Potter's name in the Goblet of Fire, but now that he hasn't been replaced, will someone else write Harry Potter's name?
Kree had carefully observed all the teachers and students during this time, and had not found anything special, at least no traces of Polyjuice Potion.
This made the situation a little more complicated…
Voldemort exploded during the summer vacation, injuring Kree and turning himself to ashes. The one currently captured by the Ministry of Magic should be a substitute or puppet he created.
From beginning to end, Voldemort had a total of 7 Horcruxes, namely:
Tom Riddle's diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Harry Potter, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, and the snake Nagini.
Including Voldemort's main body, there were a total of eight pieces of soul. In other words, Voldemort now only had the intelligence based on about 1/8 of his soul. He was purely an idiot…
And whether the giant snake Nagini could still become the last Horcrux was now uncertain to Kree. Kree felt that it was probably no longer possible to become a true Horcrux, because Voldemort's previous arrangements had been disrupted by Kree.
Tom Riddle's diary had already been destroyed, and the Voldemort inside had also been killed.
Ravenclaw's diadem, the Voldemort soul inside had also died.
That is to say, Voldemort's current soul was at most only 5/8.
So where was the real Voldemort's main body?
Where was Voldemort's main body now? If Moody hadn't been replaced, then who was the person who had been replaced?
Or had Voldemort's subordinates changed their plan? Had they abandoned this plan and taken other measures?!
Thinking about these things made his head hurt!
Just as Kree was sorting out these things, he looked up and saw the protagonist—Harry Potter. A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Kree's mind.
Harry Potter was also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and for the past year, Harry Potter had been training his mind-shielding skills.
He was already having some success. If based on this, it might be possible to directly take out Voldemort's soul and replace it with a host.
Kree even suddenly thought of many, many things. Perhaps the piece of soul in Harry Potter's mind could be played with in Kree's hands!
Hehe he… Kree showed a sinister smile.
Sitting in his seat at the banquet, Kree suddenly gave Harry a mysterious smile, making Harry's skin crawl.
Soon Crouch and Bagman arrived at the venue. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Dumbledore did not continue to wait and immediately stood up to make various introductions, and then used flowery words and extremely exaggerated descriptions to tell the history of the Triwizard Tournament.
Until the final stage, Dumbledore solemnly cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events of this year's champions' competition."
At this time, the caretaker Filch carefully placed a wooden box on the table in front of him. This should be the box for the Goblet of Fire.
"They have also made many necessary arrangements for each event. There are a total of five events, which will be held at different times throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different aspects… test their magical talents—their courage and their reasoning abilities—and of course, their ability to overcome danger."
Hearing this last sentence, the hall became silent, and everyone seemed to stop breathing.
With Kree's intervention, the Triwizard Tournament had changed from three events to five events. It could be said that this was one of Kree's greatest achievements during the summer vacation!
Not only had the number of events increased, but the duration had also increased, and the content of the assessment had also increased. This was to avoid some accidental situations. The more content in the competition, the greater the gap between each other.
"As you already know, there will be three champions participating in the competition," Dumbledore continued calmly, "each representing a participating school. We will score them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event, and the champion with the highest score after the three events will win the Triwizard Cup.
Responsible for selecting the champions is an impartial selector—the Goblet of Fire." Speaking of this, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times. The lid slowly creaked open.
Dumbledore reached in and took out a large, roughly carved wooden goblet. The goblet itself was unremarkable, but it was filled with dancing blue-white flames.
Dumbledore closed the box and placed the goblet on the lid, so that everyone in the hall could see it clearly.
