Chapter 389: Meeting the Triwizard Tournament
In addition, Wood graduated last year, and there is no more talk of Wood around everyone. He hopes to win Quidditch competitions by relying on strength rather than the advantage of broomsticks.
After giving up the Firebolt, let his mind relax, and the whole person became relaxed and happy. But unfortunately, there will be no Quidditch competition this year. His preparations, as well as the Light Wheel 2000 that Ron had obtained, could only be put on the shelf for the time being.
When Harry and the others walked through the hall, they found a large group of students crowded on the marble staircase, watching an announcement revelation.
Seeing the excitement, Ron had already sped up and ran over. He stood tiptoe, over the heads of the audience, and read the words on the announcement aloud to everyone.
"For the Triwizard Tournament, the delegations of Durmstrang and Boothbatten will arrive at Hogwarts at 6 pm on Friday, October 30. The afternoon class will end early to meet the needs of the two countries. delegation."
"That's great." Harry couldn't hold back his joy, and said happily. "Friday afternoon was Snape's potions class. He was going to poison us, but now he has no chance. ."
Snape was teaching them to refine the antidote recently, in order to let the students master the antidote more quickly, or to see more fear and anxiety among the students.
Snape had stated in advance in class that he would poison the students on the same day, and they must use their own antidote to rescue themselves, otherwise they would have to suffer.
Hermione was also very happy. Although she believed that she could definitely make an antidote, no one wanted to be poisoned.
Neville stammered with joy and kept repeating, "It's great... it's great." He danced with his hands, and was so excited that he was almost speechless.
He was the most likely person to be poisoned by Snape. And he was certain that he would definitely not be able to refine the appropriate antidote by then, and he would be tortured crazily by Snape. He has always been worried about this matter, and he is almost mad with worry, but he didn't expect it to pass.
Ron squeezed back from the announcement. He was full of smiles. He couldn't bear the joy, and said happily, "At that time, we will all meet the delegations of the two countries, and then participate in the dinner. There will definitely be a dinner on the weekend. There will be more parties."
"It's only a week," Hufflepuff’s Ernie McMillan squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes gleaming, and he said in an expectant tone. "The Triwizard Tournament will begin soon. , I don’t know if Cedric knows, I have to tell him."
With that, Ernie quickened his pace and left in a hurry.
"Cedric." Luo asked blankly. He had no impression of the name.
"Cedric Diggory, he is the Quidditch seeker of the Hufflepuff team." Zhang Qiu reminded quietly, "He has already said that he intends to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."
"Just him? That idiot, he also wants to be a warrior at Hogwarts." Ron said with a look of disdain.
In his mind, the representative of Hogwarts participating in the Triwizard Tournament, of course, the best one is George. No matter how bad it is, it must be a top student who cannot be worse than Percy. Otherwise, it would be better for him and Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
While talking, they squeezed away from the crowd and walked towards the college.
"He is not bad, you can't compare him to George, he is also a very good student, he is also the prefect." Hermione knew most of the top students in the college.
Last year, Cedric was still leading Hufflepuff's team and defeated Gryffindor. This put Gryffindor in an extremely disadvantaged situation. Even if they rushed to catch up, they had to share last year's Quidditch championship with Slytherin.
"A lucky idiot," Ron said disapprovingly, shaking his head. "It's better to choose him than me and Harry." He was brooding about the results of last year's Quidditch Cup. If Hufflepuff weren't for it, how could they be shared with the Quidditch Cup champion by Slytherin.
………
This announcement broke the silence of the college. The students were suddenly awakened as they were in a heavy study, and everyone was caught in the influence of this announcement.
Even George, who doesn't care about this matter, has to hear all the information about the Triwizard Tournament every day.
In the next period of time, he found that no matter where he went, he would hear these news repeatedly.
Whether in the classroom, in the hallway, in the lounge, or even in the duel club and mutual aid agency.
People will always discuss the topic of the Triwizard Tournament in their leisure time between classes. Various rumors, like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, are constantly passed on among the students, and they grow rapidly.
Perhaps because of the hard work of the divination class, they even fabricated a completely vivid, all the specific rules and stories of the Triwizard Tournament.
George had to admire their rich imagination. Speaking of which, the divination course is very useful as a course to teach people to make up stories. The imagination of the students and their ability to compose stories have indeed greatly improved.
However, the focus of more people is on Durmstrang and Boothbarton, how are the students of these two magic schools different from them?
The students look forward to the Quidditch competition, the Academy Cup, and the next two delegations even more.
Not only the students, the entire castle, the entire Hogwarts has also begun to look forward to a major celebration that hasn't happened in a long timeLooking forward to delegations from the two countries.
These days, Hogwarts is undergoing a thorough cleaning.
No corner can be spared. Even the dirty portraits have been scrubbed clean, and the dirty people who have been scrubbed are very dissatisfied with this.
They squatted and sat on the picture frame, shouting loudly that they are old residents in the college and should not be treated like this. However, no one cares about these guys who do not love cleanliness. Foreign envoys are here. At this time, they have no right not to love cleanliness.
Even those old armors became bright and clean, they were all oiled, and they no longer creaked when they were moving.
Filch, the gatekeeper, walked through the corridor more actively than usual. Once he discovered that the students had forgotten to clean their shoes, he immediately furious and shouted at them. Several first-year freshmen were scared to tears by him.
The teachers in the college were also very nervous, welcoming foreign delegations and hosting major events that had not been successful for hundreds of years. For everyone, it is a novel experience and a very important thing.
