Chapter 587: Goblet of fire

Hermione's remarks did not break Ron's beautiful illusions, he still stubbornly thought that Fleur might have some kind of affection for him.

Halfway through the banquet, the door of the auditorium was opened again, and two wizards in suits walked in from outside.

They walked all the way to the high platform, shook hands with Dumbledore, and then sat on the teacher's bench without attracting too many people's attention.

But Ivan was obviously the exception, staring at them when the two came in.

"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch, what are they doing here?" Harry also glanced strangely there.

"Which of them is Crouch?" Ivan asked.

He remembered that in the original time and space, Barty Crouch was controlled by the Imperius curse released by Voldemort himself. In the current situation of all wireless cables, Crouch may be a good breakthrough!

"The tall, thin and thin man with gray hair is Crouch, and the other is Ludo Bagman!"

It was not Harry that explained to Ivan, but Ron. He finally moved his gaze away from Furong, probably because Furong hadn't responded to his affectionate gaze for so long.

Ivan nodded and looked at the faculty seat again. At this time, Crouch was sitting beside Dumbledore and chatting with the old professor very happily, almost nothing strange on the surface.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

However, Ivan knew that the Imperius Curse could control a wizard almost perfectly, so that his words and deeds were the same as usual.

There are only two flaws in this magic!

First, it will be noticed by the clever Master Panthera, as long as you search the other's memory, you can find something wrong.

The second is that wizards with strong willpower may break free of the spell on their own. For example, Barty Crouch and his son in the original time and space have successfully achieved this!

The reason why I can understand it so comprehensively is because Ivan had studied the Imperius Curse for a period of time in order to control Nott when he was in Knockturn Alley.

Dumbledore turned his voice, pointed to Crouch on his right, and introduced. "Please allow me to introduce two new guests to you first. There may be people who do not know them. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic!"

Crouch nodded at the crowd, and there was sparse applause in the auditorium.

Dumbledore then introduced Ludo Bagman on the left to everyone, and thanked the two for their hard work in reopening the Triwizard Tournament over the past few months.

"They will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim to form a five-member jury to judge the performance of the Warriors."

Dumbledore spoke, clapped his hands again, and asked Filch to take the box up.

"What box?" Harry lowered his voice and asked curiously.

Ivan knew the inside story, but he still looked towards Filch.

Perhaps to participate in this important occasion, Filch, who is usually undressed, tidyed it up, and at least put on a new robe. He was holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in both hands, with a solemn expression, as if he was holding it. Like a noble holy thing.

The little wizards craned their necks curiously want to see more clearly.

Dumbledore continued. "Each item in this year's Triwizard Tournament has been carefully reviewed by us. It is divided into three items. We will examine the abilities of the warriors from various aspects, such as their magical abilities, whether they have extraordinary courage and meticulous reasoning ability. ..."

"After each event is over, the referees will give corresponding scores based on their performance. The points obtained in the three competitions are added together, and the warrior with the highest score will win the top three cup! As for the selection process of the warriors ..."

While Dumbledore was speaking, Filch had already walked to the high platform and carefully placed the box on the table in front of him.

Dumbledore drew out his wand and tapped it three times on the lid of the box. The box opened slowly, and a wooden goblet that had been cut very rough appeared in front of everyone.

Dumbledore pointed at it with his magic wand, looked at everyone present, and spoke word by word. "The selection process of the warriors will be carried out by the most impartial selection. It is... the Goblet of Fire!"

Following Dumbledore’s words, a large amount of blue and white flames gushed out from the mouth of the cup...
