v5 Chapter 169： Determine the contestants

? This curse can't limit the real age of Ilya, who has already passed the age of seventeen, but Ilya knows that the quota for this game has been set, and she wants to participate and she has no chance.

"Can't Professor Dumbledore add a few more places?"

"Originally there were only three players, and there are already more Harry Potter players. If you add more... will it become a melee?"

Ethan touched his chin, and found it interesting, the magical version of The Hunger Games? But Dumbledore obviously wouldn't agree-as the number of people increased, the probability of accidents would greatly increase.

If there is one more person, and besides Harry, there is Ethan, a player who does not meet the age requirement, and this is still within the acceptable range of the Ministry of Magic; then the game of a few elite duels will become a chaos. War, they couldn't accept it anyway.

Even if you want to accept it, you can't do it. The game process has been set, and the preparations are proceeding step by step. How do you adjust when it suddenly becomes a big melee? Did all the previous preparations be in vain?

"Unfortunately, something interesting is rare."

For Yi Liya, the Triwizard Tournament is an interesting thing, although she doesn't know what the content of this competition is.

The prescribed registration time passed quickly. On the day of registration deadline, Dumbledore, the professors of the school, and Barty Crouch all appeared beside the Goblet of Fire.

The students also gathered here consciously, including the students from the other two colleges, who also found their own positions, quietly waiting for the Goblet of Fire to announce the contestants of the Triwizard Tournament.

As in the original plot, Dumbledore first said a few words briefly, and then he waved his hand to dim the flames in the entire hall. Only the blue light from the goblet of fire was the most conspicuous.

Following Dumbledore's movements, the blue flame in the goblet of fire suddenly turned red, and a piece of parchment was ‘spit out’ by the goblet of fire.

Victor Krum and Fleur Delacour, the two of them were still selected without surprise.

Ethan doesn't know what the criteria for selecting candidates for the Goblet of Fire are, but these two are representative figures of their respective colleges, and almost no one would be dissatisfied with the selection of these two individuals.

As for Hogwarts...If there is no intervention, Cedric Diggory among the senior students does have the qualifications to represent Hogwarts, but now he can't have this opportunity again.

"The last player to participate is..."

Dumbledore waited for the choice of the Goblet of Fire with serious concern, and then froze for a moment after catching the parchment, and then glanced at Ethan with a thoughtful look.

"Good acting!"

Ethan gave Dumbledore a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart. Dumbledore's reactions and actions were all very natural, as if he was really surprised by the name on the parchment.

If he wasn't sure that he was spitting out parchment with his own name this time, Ethan would doubt if Harry Potter's name was spit out in advance.

"Ethan...Alendale!"

All the students' eyes were focused on Ethan, and the people at Slytherin College had begun to cheer.

Ethan threw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire in front of almost everyone. In addition, many lower-grade students' attempts ended in failure afterwards (including Ron’s twin brothers), which proved Ethan’s side. strength.

So no one felt that it was inappropriate to choose Ethan at this time. Even the other two schools did not express their dissatisfaction: choosing a lower grade is obviously beneficial to their own side, why should they jump out and oppose it?

"Wait a minute, Ethan is not the standard enough age and shouldn't be a player."

Professor McGonagall stepped up and expressed opposition for the first time. As one of the people who knew the inside story, Professor McGonagall certainly would not doubt Ethan's strength. Of course, she did it for acting.

"The choice of Goblet of Fire is magically binding..."

After some argument, Barty Crouch insisted on letting the game go on. At this moment, the Goblet of Fire spit out a piece of parchment again. Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment in a hurry and read it. Named above.

"Harry... Potter..."

The situation became more interesting. The Goblet of Fire continuously spit out the names of two Hogwarts students, and neither of them reached the age of seventeen. This situation made Barty Crouch very difficult, but he still Insist on the normal progress of the Triwizard Tournament.

It's nothing more than three people become four people.

As for whether the players will encounter any danger in the game? Perhaps this person has never considered it at all.

After some arguments, it was determined that the Goblet of Fire would not spit out new names. The four players went to the specially prepared place to meet, and then they could each go back to make final preparations for the real Triwizard Tournament.

Since Victor and Fleur left the hall and came into this room after being pronounced their names, the two of them didn't know what had happened before, they just heard some arguments.

Ethan and Harry walked in, making them a little confused.

"This...Which one of you is a Hogwarts player?"

Harry turned his head and looked at Ethan next to him. In fact, he has been in a daze until now. He hasn't figured out what happened or why he is here.

"Both."

Furong tilted her head and looked at the two'little brothers' in front of him: "Are you... seventeen years old?"

"Um...Fourteen years old."

Harry didn't think much about it, and directly stated his age.

Ethan still didn't answer, because he was too casual. Since his appearance was solidified, he has not deliberately calculated his age.

In addition, this world stays for a period of time and that world stays for a period of time, it is not very easy to sort out how many years have passed since he, anyway, the number should not be very small.

"Fourteen?"

Victor looked at the two young Hogwarts with a strange look. He wondered how they were selected by the Goblet of Fire?

Could it be that the people at Hogwarts moved their hands and feet? That's not right. How can there be any reason for not letting outstanding senior students play, and instead sending two junior students over? Two more at once?

They wanted to ask more questions, so as to know more about these two next opponents, but Dumbledore and others soon came here, and then Dumbledore once again showed his superb acting skills: he asked seriously. Did Harry secretly sign up by himself? Or how do you get others to sign up for yourself?

Harry could only keep shaking his head to indicate that he hadn't done those things, and he himself didn't know why this happened.

In comparison, Ethan on the side only needs to watch the play quietly, because everyone present knows how he does it, but he didn't expect the Goblet of Fire to actually spit out his name.

"how did you do it?"

"what?"

Several professors kept asking questions around Harry Potter, and Victor and Fleur were squeezed to the outside, as if they had nothing to do with the Triwizard Tournament.

Furong looked around, remembering that Ethan was in front of many people, ignoring the age restriction and throwing his name into the Goblet of Fire.

At that time, I just thought that this young Hogwarts student was a little capable, but now I think about it, maybe he did not just ‘sign up’, but what he did to make the Goblet of Goblet select him.

"Take out the parchment paper, write your name, and throw it into the goblet of fire."

Everything Ethan said was the truth, but Furong didn't believe it, thinking Ethan didn't want to tell her, or she was being careful to watch out for her competitor.

So there was no dialogue between the next few people, and the Triwizard Tournament began in chaos.

The entire Triwizard Tournament will run through the entire academic year, with only three games, but each game requires sufficient preparation, and at the same time, after each game, players will be given enough time to recover.

So there is no need to worry that the continuous competition will make the player's physical strength unable to keep up, or the injury will affect the performance of the next game.

In short, the schedule of the Triwizard Tournament is very loose, and there is enough time left...It's a bit boring to reach Ethan.

Compared to a few others who don't know what the first match will be at all, Ethan clearly knows that their first game is to face an adult fire dragon.

Of course it was not a trouble for Ethan, even if he didn't use pressure to frighten the fire dragon, he could beat the fire dragon in this world into a worm by directly shaking him.

Just before the game really started, Ethan found himself in another trouble.

Since becoming the representative player of Hogwarts, his popularity has increased rapidly in the academy. Although he had a high reputation originally, there is no one who greets him everywhere like he is now-more importantly. , Many of them are not Slytherin students, which is unimaginable in the past If you are not a Slytherin student, then everyone will be happy to greet you and cheer for you. "

Hermione happened to meet Ethan when she walked out of the other corridor. He saw Ethan curiously look at the students who greeted him and those who did not say hello, and explained to him: "After all, the Slytherin House... Well, you know."

The reputation and popularity of the Slytherin House were just that, and Ethan was not surprised.

"Are you looking for something to do with me?"

"Actually, Harry was looking for something to do with you, and he was there."

Because Ethan, the cheater, broke the rules first, Harry Potter's treatment in the academy was better than in the original plot, at least not to the point where he would be ridiculed by the students wherever he went.

There are even many students who hate Slytherin firmly and support Harry Potter, hoping that he will win on behalf of Hogwarts. When defeating the players of the other two academies, he will also take Slytherin’s Ethan Down too.
