Chapter 379： Goblet of fire

The next day, Felix opened his eyes from the bed and yawned greatly.

The air outside the window was moist, mixed with the smell of earth. After finishing the washing work, he estimated the time and prepared to have a meal in the auditorium.

"Valen, go, go to eat." He called.

On the cradle bed, the fluffy velvet blanket trembled, and then quieted down.

"Wallen?"

A small hand stretched out from the blanket and gave him twice impatiently.

"Haw!" He was tired from watching a movie last night and didn't want to get up at all.

"...Well, there are cookies and cakes in the office."

Felix walked out of the room and came to the auditorium. Unexpectedly, he found one more school logo in the auditorium. He glanced at the Hogwarts shield badge, Ifamoni's petal badge, Boothbarton's cross wand badge, and Durmstrang's double-headed eagle. With a deer head badge, and the last one

If you look carefully at the cone-shaped peaks hidden in the clouds, there is a magnificent building on the halfway of the cone-shaped peaks.

Moon Mountain, Ouagadou.

"Is Vagado also here? Is it last night, or early this morning?" Felix glanced at the auditorium and found no face, but saw Durmstrang's star student Krum.

He also only learned yesterday that the talented seeker who played the Irish national team's seeker twice in the Quidditch World Cup final and finally caught the Golden Snitch to end the game was still in Durmstrang's school.

I can only say that Quidditch training was windy and rainy all day, is it too hard?

At Slytherin's long table, Krum was not with his teammates, but chose to eat alone. Surrounded by a dozen pairs of worshiping eyes, they kept peeking at him, but he seemed to be used to it, eating breakfast silently.

After eating, he got up and left. Unlike the posture of riding a flying broomstick, he is now taciturn, with his two eyebrows habitually frowning, as if he is thinking anytime and anywhere.

At the dinner, Felix finally saw the students of Vagado.

They all have dark skin, and they have different manifestations. Only one student's skin was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and it looked like a walking pure black patch of color. If it weren't for wearing brown animal skin clothes, it would be difficult to tell the different parts of his body. The remaining Vagadu students are much more normal, although they are also dark-skinned, but at least they can distinguish the eyes and nose.

When passing by the table at Ravenclaw College, he heard a little girl muttering: "Brown, brown, dark brown, chocolate, dark..."

He grinned and sat next to Mrs. Maxim in the professor's seat, and on the other side of her was the Principal Ifamoni with closed eyes.

After chatting for a few words, Felix found a sad sight, and looked back, only to find Hagrid in the corner. He was taken aback. Hagrid’s dress was very different from the past. He didn’t know that he turned out a hand-made suit from there. His beard and hair were carefully taken care of. At least it was the first time Felix had distinguished between the two. Between the boundaries.

At this moment, Hagrid was looking at him blankly, no, he was looking at Mrs. Maxim next to him.

"Is that the professor of the magical animal protection class mentioned by Dumbledore?" Mrs. Maxim asked softly.

"Ruper Hager, Hogwarts Forbidden Forest Guard, Key Keeper, and Professor of Magical Animals Conservation, was born in 1928. He was keen to raise and tame various magical animals. He was expelled from Hogwarts, but later It proved to be a malicious framing, and was cleared of stigma last year. He was the first magical animal expert to successfully tame the night sky, and he has a close relationship with most magical animals in the Forbidden Forest. He is enthusiastic and sincere, and has a straightforward personality..."

Mrs. Maxim rolled her eyes and stretched out her big hand like a fan to hammer Felix. Felix quickly cast a layer of humanoid iron curse on himself, "Bang!" His body shook.

Hagrid's eyes straightened after seven or eight positions.

Today’s auditorium is extremely crowded, possibly because the four schools from outside are scattered among them, making it dazzling.

On relatively formal occasions, Hogwarts students are required to change into uniform uniforms.

So in the middle of a group of black wizard robes, it was dotted with the blue and cranberry colors of Ifamoni, the light blue of Busbarton, the scarlet of Durmstrand, and the brown of Vagadu.

There were four headmasters sitting on either side of Dumbledore. Felix turned twice on the little witch. The witch immediately turned around and looked at him. Felix smiled slightly, and the witch looked at him carefully. , Turned his head to talk to Dumbledore.

She was using a weird language, speaking quickly and urgently, Felix could only understand a few notes, but Dumbledore listened carefully, and then responded in the same language.

Karkaroff next to the witch didn't look very happy. He had been playing with a golden goblet, deliberately making a loud noise.

The professor's seat was almost full, only the last two vacancies were left. After another seven or eight minutes, a short and chubby red-faced wizard appeared from the main entrance of the auditorium with a warm smile on his face.

"Dumbledore, I'm late, but Barty has something to do, I'm the only one..." Bagman said quickly, and he looked around: "Ah, you're all here, great, I've been worried about Vaga The degree team may be late."

The little witch said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Bagman, we will not delay on major events."

"Ah, of course..." Bagman wiped his sweat and said. He glanced at the two remaining seats before sitting next to Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium gradually became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes on him.

"Welcome! Students from five magic schools gather together. This is something that hasn't happened in a thousand years." He said happily. "At this solemn moment, I want to say thank you to the house elves in the kitchen. Taste, a lot of thought was spent..."

"So, enjoy the food to your heart's content, this is the most important thing tonight."

He sat down, and the empty plate in front of them was suddenly filled with various foods. In addition to the French dishes that appeared last night, today there are more weird dishes, all kinds of dishes are placed in front of them.

On the Gryffindor table, Ron's gaze swept over the French fish soup, yellow egg cheese and white sherbet, he saw a sticky thing, and he held out his fork.

"Don't!" Hermione called.

"What's wrong?"

"You won't like it." Hermione suffocated, her face was abnormally pale. "I didn't expect them to add this dish to the recipe."

"What's this?" Harry asked, he didn't smell anything strange.

"Camel fat," Hermione said. She retched and turned her head immediately. "Trust me, you will never like it."

Ron pushed the plate far away with a fork, and Seamus inserted a piece of it. "What kind of jam is this?" He stuffed his mouth, and Harry and the others stared at him intently.

"Uh, why look at me..." It was visible to the naked eye, Seamus's face turned into pig liver color, he swallowed down, grabbed Dean's pumpkin juice, and poured it down in one breath.

His eyes turned green, and he looked around frantically, and Neville tremblingly handed him his pumpkin juice.

"What the **** is this?" Seamus said angrily after drinking Neville's pumpkin juice.

Ron gratefully inserted a greasy sausage and ate it beautifully.

When the golden plates were cleaned up, Dumbledore stood up again. An excitement and tension filled the air in the auditorium.

"This moment has finally arrived," Dumbledore said. "The tournament is about to begin. Mr. Filch, please bring the box in. In the meantime, I want to explain a few words first."

"First of all, I would like to introduce to you today's important guests, first of all, the principals."

"The principal of Boothbarton, Mrs. Olim Maxim;"

"The principal of Durmstrang, Professor Igor Karkaroff;"

"The principal of Ifamoni, Professor Ai Gilbert Fontana;"

"The principal of Vagadou, Ms. Haria Miniot Nagy;"

Dumbledore paused, blinked, smiled and said, "Of course, and myself, Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore."

Everyone, including students from the other four schools, looked at him blankly.

"No one found it. This is actually a subtle joke," Dumbledore said regretfully. "I sorted it by the length of the name..."

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat very hard.

"Well, in addition to the five principals, there are two other people who have to mention, Ludo Bagman and Batty Crouch. In the past few months, the two gentlemen have worked tirelessly, regrettably Yes, Mr. Crouch is not present today, but we can see him on Halloween. Thank you, Mr. Filch, just put it here."

Dumbledore smiled and said to Filch. At this moment, Filch was putting a big wooden box on the table in front of him. He tapped the lid of the box with his magic wand three times, and the lid slowly creaked open. .

Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-cut wooden goblet.

The cup itself was not eye-catching at all, but it was full of blue and white flames.

Everyone is obsessedly looking at the Goblet You should know that in the next twenty-four hours, that is, at the end of the Halloween dinner, the goblet will choose what it thinks is the best Represents the names of three students from the corresponding school.

Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the foyer, and all students who are willing to participate in the election can submit their names. "

He waited quietly for a while, until everyone heard him clearly, he continued: "There are two things to pay attention to. First, for Hogwarts students, I will set an age line."

The discussion buzzed, and he had to mention the volume.

"Second, this is a sincere advice," Dumbledore's expression became particularly serious. "I must remind everyone here that the Contest is not a trifle, it is a magical contract that cannot be violated. Once a warrior Being selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must stick to the game to the end. Therefore, please think twice."

"Good night everyone."

When he sat down, the auditorium exploded.
