His ignorant nephew, Fudge was forced to help by cronyism when he was in cahoots with the pure-blood family and felt that he was in full control of the Ministry of Magic. At that time, it was the old Barty Crouch who replaced him.

But since then, the situation in the Ministry of Magic has gone from bad to worse. In order to prevent his nephew from becoming a political stain on him, Fudge's top priority is to help the other party achieve some political achievements... such as hosting the Triwizard Tournament.

Fuji now has the full support of Lao Deng, so in his opinion, as long as Lao Deng escorts this competition, it will definitely be smooth sailing.

And even if something really went wrong, his nephew could still squat behind Lao Deng, and take Lao Deng's achievements of catching Death Eaters and the like to himself. Anyway, Lao Deng would definitely not mind. Trading is also absolutely guaranteed.

It's just that, when Fudge sent this idiot second-generation ancestor to gild, he obviously didn't teach him how to respect others, and more importantly...to be familiar with some relatively unorthodox but crucial laws in advance.

For example, in the 20s, the French Ministry of Magic, one of the participating countries in the war against Grindelwald, led the proposal and was approved to implement... "The Law on the Registration and Protection of Human Attributes of the International Confederation of Wizards"!

Grindelwald recruited a large number of werewolves, vampires, giants and other human creatures across Europe. Their ferocity and elusiveness once caused headaches for the wizards at that time.

But if you look closely, they were only bewitched by Grindelwald at the time. In the final analysis, it was because of the unfair attitude of the magic world towards them that they were forced to the opposite side.

Therefore, after the Dark Lord finally fell, the French Ministry of Magic took the lead in drafting this law, requiring all human beings, including half-human wizards, to publicly register their identities and bloodlines!

In exchange for attracting them to register, these human beings who are willing to accept unified control, the law also stipulates some specific rights for them... such as bloodline respect.

It's a pity that in some places, such as England, the implementation of this law is quite limited. Basically, since the beginning of the legislation, the voice of opposition has remained high.

Otherwise, according to the law, Hagrid's events back then must be investigated to find out the truth, and he would not have been expelled and his wand broken at all!

And this law is the reason why Harry just sent Hagrid to the 'rescue'.

In other words, he is not so kind, he will take the initiative to help the Ministry of Magic wipe the ass~

(PS There is a pit, I dug it from Chapter 20, I don’t know if anyone can see it.

In HP's original book, Hagrid's blood composition was always a secret before the Goblet of Fire. It was Rita Skeeter who exposed his identity as a half-blood giant, and Hagrid almost lost his job because of this.

Also in the Goblet of Fire, when Hagrid asked about Madam Maxim's bloodline, the other party clearly denied it, which showed that Madam Maxime also did not recognize the bloodline of the half-blood giant from the bottom of her heart.

But when I was writing the article, since Hagrid’s appearance in Chapter 20, his identity as a half-blood giant has been stated on the surface. All characters who know Hagrid, including Lucius Malfoy, they Everyone knew that Hagrid was a half-giant, and the composition of his blood was completely public.

The reason for this has been revealed today, and this original law will involve some other plots in the future, which are basically related to Hagrid, above~)

Chapter 620 The Fair Selector, Goblet of Fire

Speaking of which, Harry really didn't expect that Rufus Fudge, an idiot, would give himself a big gift just after he appeared on the stage.

Hagrid took the initiative to stand up to occupy the position, and almost everyone, including Rufus Fudge himself, would think that the other party should rush to save the field.

But in fact, the reason why Harry asked Hagrid to do this was to provoke trouble!

Just imagine, if Hagrid hadn't moved at that time, then the second generation ancestor could only bear the nausea and sit beside Madam Maxim... He could only do this, because Dumbledore would definitely not let him be rude.

But Hagrid came out to make such a disturbance, Rufus Fudge's evidence of discriminating against the blood of the half-blood giant was completely confirmed!

Madam Maxime was persuaded by Hagrid now, but after the Triwizard Tournament ended, she might not be able to swallow this breath; and the French students who had witnessed all this, of course, could not let it go!

Harry had made a promise to Beauxbaton's students before, so he would definitely make a big fuss about this matter in the future, and even go straight to the International Federation of Wizards.

At that time, Dumbledore will be the president of the Federation, and his choice will be very exciting.

Harry could feel Dumbledore looking sullenly and complainingly at him now, but he didn't care.

Lao Deng wanted to protect the British Ministry of Magic to death, but Harry wanted to kill Cornelius Fudge and others. Everyone just relied on their own abilities.

Now that Rufus Fudge is giving away his head very thoughtfully, if Harry refuses, it will hurt his feelings~

Oh, by the way, although Harry made an impromptu plan to take advantage of the sudden situation, these Beauxbaton teachers and students who were secretly used as gunmen, they still have to thank Harry after the fact.

Because he will definitely do his best to seek justice for Mrs. Maxim!

This small disturbance seemed to be quickly forgotten, and the welcome banquet continued enthusiastically, until all the plates were scrubbed, and Dumbledore stood up again.

Following his movements, a feeling of excitement and nervousness also began to spread in the auditorium.

"The moment has finally come!" Dumbledore smiled at the raised faces below, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, but before that, please allow me to introduce two guests, because some people may still Don't know them. First, Mr. Rufus Fudge, Director of the International Department of Magical Cooperation."

The second ancestor, who had no idea that he had caused trouble, stood up from his seat triumphantly, and waved towards the auditorium coquettishly.

However, except for some Slytherins who exchanged interests with the Fudge family, almost no one else applauded, especially Beauxbaton's students, who glared at him one by one.

However, this embarrassment did not affect Dumbledore in the slightest, and he continued to introduce: "Then is the Director of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Ludo Bagman."

The applause will undoubtedly be much warmer this time. Ludo was once a world-class Quidditch batter, and his appearance is much more friendly than Rufus Fudge with his nostrils in the sky.

"In the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Fudge have worked tirelessly for the holding of the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said in a scene that even ghosts would not believe, "They will fight with me , Professor Karkaroff, and Madam Maxim form a panel of judges to judge the achievements of the warriors."

The sound at the scene began to become noisy, and there were even occasional bursts of boos, of course, most of them were aimed at Rufus Fudge.

He looked like he had just graduated for a year or two, and many students felt that this guy who borrowed his uncle was not qualified to judge the Warriors at all!

"Mr. Filch, please bring up the box." At this time, Dumbledore showed a strong ability to control the field, and successfully diverted everyone's attention before the doubts on the scene intensified.

Filch, who had rushed to the corner to stand by a long time ago, was walking quickly with a jeweled wooden box in his hands at this moment. The eyes of the students moved with him, and at the same time, they began to discuss enthusiastically.

"Mr. Fudge and Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific competition items for the Warriors this year." After Filch put the box away, Dumbledore continued, "They have made the necessary preparations for each item. There are a total of three projects, which will be carried out at different times of the school year. These projects will test the warriors' magical talents, their courage and reasoning ability from many different aspects, and of course, their ability to overcome danger. ability."

After hearing the last sentence, the students didn't even dare to breathe, and the entire auditorium fell silent.

"As you already know, there are only three warriors who can represent their respective schools in the competition. We will grade them according to the quality of each item they complete. After the three items are over, the warrior with the highest score will win the Tri-Power Cup. "

Dumbledore briefly introduced the competition system, and then pointed to the box in front of him: "The one responsible for selecting the warriors is an impartial selector—the Goblet of Fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped the box three times.

The lid of the box was slowly opened, and Dumbledore reached in and took out a huge wooden goblet.

The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Every student who wants to sign up to be a warrior must write his name and school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore explained to everyone, "Those who want to become a warrior can Sign up within 24 hours. Tomorrow, the night of Halloween, the Goblet of Fire will select the three warriors it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, it will be placed in the foyer, and all students who are willing to participate in the election can touch it. But…”

Dumbledore paused for a moment, glanced at some people who were overly excited—such as the twins of the Weasley family, and then continued: "In order to prevent students who are underage from being tempted, I will be in the Goblet of Fire Draw an age line around it. Anyone under the age of seventeen cannot cross this line!"

At night, the welcome dinner was finally over. After Dumbledore reminded everyone that they must think twice, he said good night to everyone.

However, the heated atmosphere at the scene did not stop, the students were still talking about it, the senior students met to sign up together, and some of the younger ones were quietly discussing how to become warriors.

The students from the two schools who are visitors are also preparing to leave. They will not live in the castle. The Beauxbatons are going back to their carriages, and the students of Durmstrang are going back to the ship.

However, just as the students of Durmstrang were lining up in the auditorium, the principal Karkaroff suddenly came to the long table of the Eagle Academy.

"Harry Potter... no, it's Harry Granger, right?"

He stopped in front of Harry, his face that had been stern before now looked a little...flattering.

Chapter 620 Karkaroff, very knowledgeable about current affairs

"Professor Karkaroff, what can you do?"

Being suddenly blocked in the middle of the auditorium, Harry couldn't help being a little puzzled, after all, he had no intersection with the other party at all.

"That's right, I also want to know what's going on with you, Karkaroff."

However, just as Karkaroff was about to organize his speech, a deep voice came from behind them, which made the principal of Durmstrang tremble all over.

"It's you?!" Karkaroff turned around abruptly, his face suddenly pale.

Mad-Eye came over at some point, and now he has a new magic eye, but it is smaller than the original one, and it is not as sharp as the previous one.

But for Karkaroff, Mad-Eye still has full deterrent power, making him shudder every minute.

"You're blocking the way, Karkaroff." Moody asked sullenly, "What important thing do you have to stop Granger now?"

"I...Of course I have something important to tell Mr. Granger!"

It can be seen that Karkaroff was obviously guilty when he met Moody, but after he peeked at Harry tangledly for a few times, he suddenly stiffened again.

He called a student from the far end of the auditorium, and presented Harry with both hands a beautifully crafted cloth bag in the other's hand.

The things inside the cloth bag were boxy. Harry glanced at them and found that they were several ancient books with a sense of age.

"Professor Karkaroff, what do you mean?" Harry asked puzzled.

"That's right, I heard that Mr. Granger is planning to recompile England's "History of Magic", so I want to give you these things as a gift for the first meeting." Karkaroff rubbed his hands and explained, "This Several books are Nordic magic historical materials collected in our Durmstrang library, among which there is also a considerable part of the history of magic in Europe, as well as some magical legends in the British Isles, I believe they will definitely be helpful to you."

"In that case...thank you so much." Harry put away the package calmly, and smiled kindly at the other party, "Professor Karkaroff, we just met for the first time, and you gave such a generous gift. , this really makes me a little unbearable~"

"You can afford it, Mr. Granger, you can definitely afford it!" Karkaroff waved his hands in a hurry, almost nodding to Harry, "You are a powerful wizard who repelled the You-Know-Who, and you are doing It is also an honor for me to be able to help, and it is also an honor for our entire Durmstrang! So, you see..."

"Thank you again for your kindness, Professor Karkaroff." Harry nodded knowingly, "I heard that Krum is not feeling well, you should take him back to rest early. These precious magical historical materials, Whenever I see them, I am reminded of your selfless help today."

"Okay, as long as you think it's helpful! Then I'll take my leave first. If there is a chance, please invite Mr. Granger to visit our ship. The whole of Durmstrang will welcome you very much."

"That's also my honor~"

Seeing that Harry accepted the gift and at the same time did not object to further contact, the tension in Karkaroff's eyes seemed to have eased a lot, and he left with a more brisk pace than when he came.

"Hmph, that guy is still as spineless as before." Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Moody snorted coldly with disdain.

"But it is undeniable that he is indeed a very sensible person, not to mention that it is only natural for him to do so." Harry turned his head to look at Moody quietly, "After all...you have no way to ensure that he lives well , he can only come and beg me."

As a Death Eater, Karkaroff must be able to sense Voldemort's return, so his behavior today is obviously to seek Harry's protection.

This is not a psychological burden for him. If this guy really had a backbone, he wouldn't have betrayed other Death Eaters in exchange for his freedom back then.

Moreover, he knew Lao Deng, Moody and others more than ten years ago, so he naturally knew clearly... Even if these people agreed with their lips, they would definitely not care too much about the life of him, a former Death Eater. It's better to change the thigh to hug.

Of course, even if this is the case, the possibility of him being a film king cannot be ruled out, and Harry will not let his guard down either.

"Granger, don't forget, he used to be a Death Eater!" Moody reminded with a stinky face, "And you are a student at Hogwarts, so try not to get too close to outsiders."

"Mr. Moody, haven't you forgotten that you pardoned this Death Eater back then." Harry shook his head lightly, "What's more, to you...I'm actually an outsider."

"You..." Moody wanted to say something more, but Harry had already turned and left.

Heh, these wizards in the British magic world don't even understand the principle of "brothers fight against the wall, and the outside world resists insults". When encountering major events, they are not as clear as outsiders like Karkaroff. Now they are ashamed to blame Harry for his elbow Turned outside?

What is it~

...

The next day was Monday, and all Hogwarts students were going to class, but everyone was not paying attention to the class, after all, the Goblet of Fire in the hall was too attractive.

The Goblet of Fire was left in the hallway last night, placed on the stool that was used for sorting every year, with a circle of thin golden lines floating around the floor, and many complex ancient runes were outlined underneath.

It can be said that just based on this age line, one can see how accomplished Dumbledore is in the magic circle.

Therefore, Harry is not at all optimistic about the opportunistic actions of the Weasley brothers, not to mention using aging agents to fight against the age line, isn't it their own trap~

But it's a pity that the two brothers who have already reached the top didn't think about this level at all. They were happily showing off in the auditorium at the moment, claiming that they would definitely be able to break the age limit set by the principal.

"Cheers~"

The two live treasures each took out a potion bottle, and after a public performance of cross-drinking, they jumped into the age line hand in hand.

"Aha, we succeeded!", "The age line can't stop us at all!"

At that moment, almost everyone in the auditorium thought they had succeeded, and the twins themselves certainly thought so.

But just when they were overjoyed, there was a sudden crisp sound from their feet, and then the two of them seemed to be pulled by their tails, and they were thrown out of the range of the age line like a cloud, and their chins also coincided. The gray beard that only grandpas have appeared.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall burst into laughter, and the Weasley brothers also began to laugh heartlessly after seeing each other's embarrassment.

However, the one who laughs the most among all the people is the headmaster who has been hiding in the corner, Dumbledore~

Chapter 620 The Seventh Warrior Comes Out, Steep Mutations

"I warned you before."

After laughing for a while, Dumbledore walked out slowly from the corner: "You should go to Madam Pomfrey's as soon as possible. Earlier, many students who had the same idea as you had already been recruited. But , you two should have the most beautiful beards so far."

"Indeed, it's really bad enough to use aging agents to fight against the age limit." Harry also leaned over and laughed and joked at this time, "The function of the age limit is to prevent all students under the age of 17 from entering, and Contact the Goblet of Fire in any way. If you really want to successfully sign up, why don't you ask the seniors who are over 17 years old to help and let them put your name in?"

"Yes, there is another way!", "Then let's find someone!"

Receiving Harry's reminder, the two brothers suddenly realized that they were about to leave in a hurry to find helpers.

"No, you can only rush to the school hospital now, and I've heard about this method." Dumbledore suddenly cast a spell on the Goblet of Fire, "Now it's safe, I added a screening function on it spell, after that everyone can only post their own names."

"Ah? Why?"
