Magic Journey from Hogwarts

After a simple hand kiss, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Dear Ms. Maxim, welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore, I hope you are well.

Also, these are my students. "

Maxim waved her hand back, and a dozen witches and wizards got off the carriage and followed behind her.

Most of these students are over 17 years old, and they are probably candidates for the Triwizard Tournament.

"Is Karkaroff here?"

"Should be there soon, are you waiting for him here or go in first to warm up?" Dumbledore asked, because he found that Beauxbaton's students were wearing thinner clothes, which might not be able to withstand the malice of the weather.

"Let's go warm up first!

Professor Dumbledore, my horses have traveled a long way and they need tending. "

"Don't worry, Madam Maxime." Dumbledore said confidently, "Our Professor of the Protection of Fantastic Beasts, Hagrid, will take good care of them.

I assure you, he can do the job perfectly. "

"Very well, please tell Mr. Hagrid that my horse only drinks single malt whiskey."

"I'll take care of it."

Maxim led her students up the stone steps to Hogwarts Castle.

No sooner had they gone than a long mast rose out of the lake.

There were huge waves on the surface of the water, and a large boat floated up from the lake and headed towards the shore.

"Beautiful." Aaron applauded: "It's flying in the sky, and there are people swimming in the water.

In comparison, the welcome ceremony at the ground station at Hogwarts is somewhat lost, we are no different from Muggles. "

"I can see that Professor McGonagall's face is not very good-looking." Draco was still very curious about the magic school that almost sent him away, and stood on tiptoe to watch the ship approaching.

boom!

A wooden plank hit the shore, and the leading middle-aged man in a white leather jacket walked quickly, behind him were a dozen senior students in fur cloaks.

There were exclamations in the welcome line at Hogwarts, for among the dozen or so Durmstrang students was a star figure, Viktor Krum.

He shined in the Quidditch World Cup, and many people still remember him deeply.

"Albus." The middle-aged man gave Dumbledore a hug very familiarly, "Old man, are you alright!"

"Excellent, Professor Karkaroff."

After a brief courtesy, Dumbledore led them up the steps, with the Hogwarts students following behind them.

"I can't believe it." Draco murmured, "Krum is a member of the Quidditch national team. I didn't expect to be a student like us."

"Krum, Harry, it's Viktor Krum."

The two couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Ron's voice.

Turning around, I saw Ron holding Harry's arm, trembling with excitement.

"It's a shame for pure blood, Weasley." Draco said disdainfully, "Krum is a star, but you can't be so exaggerated!"

"You know shit, he's the best Seeker in the world."

"So...do you need an autograph?" Aaron quipped.

"Of course I need it." Ron said as a matter of course, but his face collapsed the next moment, "I didn't bring a quill or paper."

"It's such a pity, many people don't bring that thing." Aaron shook his head, and immediately gave Abe a wink.

It glared at Ron contemptuously, and took out a pen and paper from its pocket.

"Why does it have everything in this pocket?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Because I will put everything I need in it." Aaron explained casually, "I have pens and paper, but I don't care whether I can sign or not."

"Thank you so much!" Ron took the pen and paper in a hurry, looked at Krum's back and thought for a while how to ask for an autograph.

"Do you want to?" Aaron looked at Draco, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a blushing face.

"That... If you still have a pen and paper, can you give us a copy too." Lee Jordan asked shyly. The Weasley twins were beside him, and the eyes of the three were full of expectations.

Not only them, but also Harry Potter, and several members of the Quidditch cadet team joined in.

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly. He had plenty of pens and paper, but how could he give them in this situation?

Today is a welcome ceremony, not a Viktor Krum autograph session.

"I'm sorry, you are one step late."

"This is ridiculous, he's just a Quidditch player," Hermione said in a low voice.

"Absurd?" Aaron shook his head with a chuckle. "I still remember a certain witch's admiration for Gilderoy Lockhart in the second grade."

Hearing this, Hermione blushed slightly and stopped making any comments.

The students of Beauxbatons sat with the wizards of Ravenclaw, while the students of Durmstrang chose the long table of Slytherin.

Draco got Krum's signature very smoothly, and Malfoy's status as a pure-blood noble made it easy for him to get along with these wizards.

Ron, who originally wanted to get an autograph, felt his teeth itch when he saw this scene, but in front of the idol, he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart.

Filch added five chairs to the headmaster's table, and Maxim and Karkaroff sat on Dumbledore's left and right sides.

The banquet started after the guests from the two academies took their seats, but compared to usual, today's dinner has more foreign features and can better cater to the tastes of the guests.

In the process of enjoying the food, two other people came and sat in the empty seats, namely Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch.

"It seems that there are still distinguished guests not coming!" Draco was very confident in front of the wizards in Durmstrang, "The last one to appear must be extraordinary, maybe it is the veteran of the magic world!"

After eating and drinking enough, the golden tableware was scrubbed and packed away.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat, and the atmosphere in the auditorium fell silent.

He looked at the crowd with a smile, "The moment has finally arrived, the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, but before that, I have to introduce a few people to you.

This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic.

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

The two stood up one after another, showing their faces in front of everyone, and received some applause by the way.

"In the past few months, the two of them have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," said Dumbledore. "The two of them will form the referee with me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim group."

"Ahem!" Barty Crouch coughed suddenly.

"Besides us, there is another referee." Dumbledore looked meaningfully at the last vacant seat. "She was delayed by some things, but it should be here by now."

After the voice fell, the door of the auditorium opened, and a young woman walked in slowly.

She is dressed in beige clothes, her slender body is plump and slim, her long black hair like a waterfall hangs over her shoulders, her whole face is bare of makeup, her jade-like skin is slightly blush, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, and there is a gleam in her black pupils. A radiant heroic spirit.

The moment she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

The boy swallowed unconsciously, but the girl felt a little ashamed.

None of them thought that the last referee would be so young, but her strong self-confidence and calmness made people take it for granted. She was definitely the most fair referee.

On the other hand, Aaron stared dumbfounded at the girl who came forward, unable to react for a while, fear, doubt, bewilderment, astonishment, bewilderment and other complicated and chaotic emotions intertwined in his mind to form a single word.

"sister."

At this moment, it seems that many doubts have been answered silently.

Adrian would come to Hogwarts to serve as the referee for the Triwizard Tournament, and that's probably what Jins was hiding from him.

It's no wonder that Adrian is interested in the Quidditch World Cup. The Triwizard Tournament is a large-scale event like the Quidditch World Cup. It is better to learn from relevant experience to watch it in person.

When Aaron suddenly realized, he didn't know how much impact the word he said subconsciously had.

Draco, who was the closest, widened his eyes in astonishment, followed by a dozen of Durmstrang's students, and then the entire Slytherin table, and finally everyone's eyes were on him and the people who came. Constantly switch between.

Harry and the others had seen Adrian in the Quidditch World Cup, but she was wearing a half mask at the time, and her sense of mystery surpassed her sealed appearance, but what appeared in front of them now was a flourishing beauty, so that they Neither connects the two in the first place.

Chapter 355 Goblet of Fire, a request that is difficult for others

Adrian smiled and raised his eyebrows at Aaron, and walked to the stage calmly.

Barty Crouch stood up, cleared his throat and said, "Let me introduce to you, Adrian Klein, the last referee of the Triwizard Tournament, and also the most special referee.

Miss Klein is jointly recommended by the Magic Council and the International Federation of Magic. She is not responsible for scoring the participating warriors, but she will record the competition process to ensure that the competition is fair enough. "

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

There was extremely warm applause in the auditorium.

"The Warriors' three athletic programs this year have been carefully reviewed and played at different times throughout the school year.

Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, and Miss Klein made the necessary arrangements for each project, which tested the warrior's magical ability, courage, reasoning ability and ability to overcome danger. "

"Professor Dumbledore, may I bring up the Goblet of Fire?"

"Of course, Miss Klein." Dumbledore smiled slightly, then looked at Filch who was standing in the corner, "Mr. Filch, please bring the box up!"

Filch nodded, and beckoned several people to place a large golden tower-shaped wooden box inlaid with jewels in the center of the platform.

Dumbledore's wand tapped lightly, and the golden wooden box melted, revealing a rough wooden goblet.

The cup is more than one meter high and looks ordinary, but there is a blue-white flame burning in it.

"Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore looked at the cup with emotion for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Students who sign up for the Tournament, please write their names on parchment and throw them into this goblet.

The goblet is placed in the foyer, and all students who are willing to sign up can touch it. The sign-up period is 24 hours, and tomorrow night the Goblet of Fire will select the names of students who are qualified to participate.

In addition, in order to prevent underage wizards from being tempted, I will set an age line that no one under the age of fourteen can cross.

Next, I would like to ask Ms. Klein to give you other explanations. "

Adrian walked up to the Goblet of Fire and gave Aaron a meaningful smile, which made him feel guilty and remembered the picture of himself divination on the crystal ball.

Although I don't know what will happen next, it will definitely not be very friendly to him.

"The Triwizard Tournament, a competition between three schools, is aimed at friendly exchanges among young wizards.

The age of 14 is only a condition for registration, but those who are truly eligible to be selected are the pride of heaven, very few. "Adrian said, looking at the audience, his eyes full of playfulness, "Many of you may be eager to pursue this eternal glory.

You may think that you have the ability to complete the challenge, even if you fail, it does not matter, because there will be no danger to your life.

However, I would like to remind everyone that no danger to life does not mean no danger. Klein will ensure that the contestants will not die during the competition, but this is the only way to go.

Missing arms and legs, unconsciousness, and permanent coma are all within acceptable limits... Maybe you can refer to the kiss of the dementor for the most serious. "

After the words fell, more than half of the wizards who originally intended to sign up immediately gave up.

Not life-threatening, but life is worse than death.

Dumbledore showed a satisfied smile. He knew Hogwarts students too well. They might not take his warning as the headmaster to heart, but a few words from Adrian Klein were enough to make many people feel Stay away.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The three of Harry looked at each other, and they could all see a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

Draco's face turned slightly pale, and he hesitated in his determination to sign up.

But some students who originally planned to sign up were unmoved, a few words could not shake their confidence, and the Weasley twins even showed provocative smiles.

"In the end, the Goblet of Fire is a magical contract, and the chosen one has no right to waive it.

So...warn everyone, sign up carefully. "

As the dinner came to an end, the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang returned to the carriage and giant ship led by the headmaster, and the students of Hogwarts also left one after another.

Aaron didn't move because he knew someone would definitely come to him.

Sure enough, Adrian walked over slowly after talking to Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman from the Ministry of Magic.

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you moved?" Adrian sat down opposite Aaron, and couldn't help laughing when he saw him sitting upright. "I put down my work and came to Hogwarts to host this event. A Triwizard Tournament, why do you, the younger brother, seem very unhappy."

"It's nothing, I'm naturally pleasantly surprised by my eldest sister's arrival, and I'm even more touched by the accident." Aaron sneered, and then asked tentatively: "May I ask, can I not participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"What do you say?"

Aaron's face twitched slightly, and he closed his eyes in pain, "I knew it, but why?"

"Because of Kelia." Adrian said very directly, "As I said before, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will buy you more time, but if you perform poorly, I will not hesitate. Stand by her side.

So take it for yourself, don't let me down! "

"Hehe!" Aaron patted his forehead helplessly, "But you don't worry about your brother, what if I fall?"
