For the rest of the journey, Harry felt unhappy again.

Hermione didn't speak to them the whole time, and seemed to be angry with them, but he didn't think about the reason for the other party's anger.

Zhang Qiu returned to the box after a round of inspection, but chose to sit at the far end, letting Marietta sit next to Harry, preventing Harry from getting close to her.

In the subsequent chat, Zhang Qiu was talking and laughing with Levin throughout the whole process, but was quite perfunctory about his own topic.

Even if it was snacks bought from the cart, she would only eat those bought by Levin.

Harry was almost depressed,

However, the train finally arrived at the station before Harry got jade syndrome.

The car door opened, and rumbles of thunder were heard in the air. The little wizards got off the train, lowering their heads and squinting their eyes in the pouring rain. The rain fell hard and fast, as if a bucket of ice-cold water was pouring on their heads.

In the cold wind and rain, they were shaking like quails.

Harry just wanted to show his grace and invited Zhang Qiu to wear a water-breathing cloak with him.

Levin then spoke: "Catch me and I will take you back to the castle."

As he spoke, he grabbed Hermione with one hand and Zhang Qiu with the other.

Luna didn't hesitate and put her hand on Levin's arm.

Ginny thought for a while and followed Luna's method.

Even Marietta grabbed Zhang Qiu.

Just when Harry wanted to ask what was going on, he saw "Zero Nine Seven" Levin's whole body flashing with fire.

The next moment, he himself and everyone who came into contact with him disappeared.

Even Marietta was gone.

Harry and Ronald were left wandering in the wind and rain.

There is no way, opportunities are always fleeting.

Why didn't they trust Levin unconditionally?

When they arrived at the splendid auditorium, it was deserted.

"She wants to ask you, that was the [Apparition] of the Phoenix just now, right?" Luna translated for Hermione.

But looking at her inquiring eyes, it was obvious that the girl herself was very curious.

Seeing Marietta sitting a few meters away, with no one nearby to watch, Guowen admitted this.

"You guessed it right, it's the Phoenix's [Apparition]. I've learned some tricks about the Animagus.

Levin said, showing them his partial Animagus ability,

The reason why Phoenix's [Apparition] could be used without exposing Phoenix's transformation before was because of the application of this technique.

After satisfying her curiosity, Hermione took out the "Book of Laws" copied from Levin and sat down directly next to Levin on Ravenclaw's long table.

For the banquet of the new semester, the auditorium was specially decorated.

Hundreds of candles floated above the table, making the gold plates and goblets sparkle.

When Hermione was almost halfway through the book, the four long college tables were already filled with chattering students.

There is a fifth table at the top of the auditorium, with staff sitting on one side facing their students.

Because they had to brave the rain to enter the school, the little wizards around them got wet from the rain.

Levin, a bunch of dry people, immediately became the envy of everyone.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Hermione stood up and returned to the Gryffindor table amidst the envious eyes of everyone.

In such cold weather, in this castle that prohibits Apparition, they can be sent directly to the castle by Levin without having to endure the cold wind, cold rain, or muddy paths [what a beautiful thing!

After witnessing the sorting ceremony, the hungry and cold little wizards could finally have a full meal.

When almost all the food has been swept away, the last remaining crumbs on the plate disappear and the plate becomes clean and shiny again.

At this time, Albus Dumbledore stood up again.

The buzzing voices in the hall suddenly stopped, and only the howling of the wind and the pounding of heavy rain could be heard.

"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Now that we have eaten and drank enough, I must ask everyone's attention again. I have a few announcements to make.

"First of all, I am very sorry to tell you that the Academy Cup Quidditch will not be held this year.

After a brief exclamation, the auditorium remained surprisingly quiet.

Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large event is starting in October and continuing throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and attention - but I'm sure you will all get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I'm very pleased I would like to announce to everyone that this year at Hogwarts——"

On the long Gryffindor table, Ronald immediately pricked up his ears.

He was finally able to know the secret everyone kept from him,

Just when he was fully expecting Dumbledore's next words, there was a deafening thunder,

The door to the auditorium was slammed open.

A man stood in the doorway, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black traveling cloak.

Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the stranger, and suddenly a fork-shaped lightning flashed across the ceiling, illuminating the stranger. He took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and began to walk toward the staff table.

Every inch of his face seemed to be scarred, and his mouth was like a large, crooked gash [where the nose should have been raised was missing. The most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.

One of his eyes is small, black, and shiny; the other eye is very large, round like a coin, and is a bright bright blue.

The blue eye kept moving without blinking, turning up, down, left, and right, completely unrelated to the normal eye--later, the blue eye rolled over and penetrated into Na's head.

"Professor Alastor Moody. The one who was defeated by Cirella three times."

Although he had never met him before, Levin immediately recognized his identity based on his magic eye.

"Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore introduced happily, "Professor Alastor Moody. T

However, not a single teacher or student applauded.

Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped their hands several times, and found that the applause seemed lonely in the silent auditorium, so they put down their hands knowingly.

Everyone else seemed to be stunned by Mad-Eye Moody's strange appearance, and just stared at him intently - but the other party obviously didn't care about these looks, and began to mind his own business after the initial introduction. Eat up.

His eating appearance was very strange. He pulled a plate of sausages, held it up to his mutilated nose and smelled it. Then he took out a knife from his pocket, poked one end of the sausage in, and started eating. .

His normal eye was staring at the sausage, but his blue eye was still moving around in its socket, looking at the auditorium and his classmates.

There are people who bring their own tableware... I'm really overly vigilant.

Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"As I just said,"

He looked at the many students in front of him with a smile and said - the students were still staring blankly at their new professor Moody,

"Over the next few months, we will be honored to host a very exciting event, which has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy to report that the Triwizard Hall will be held this year in Held at Hogwarts.”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the auditorium suddenly became noisy. At every table in the house, there were people either watching Dumbledore feverishly, or whispering excitedly to their neighbors.

………

Ronald finally learned this big secret and finally became happy.

But Dumbledore spoke again, and the hall fell silent again.

"Some of you still don't know what this competition is all about, so I hope that some people who know the situation will forgive me for explaining a little bit here, and I will allow their minds to wander for a while.

Dumbledore quickly introduced the Triwizard Tournament.

But when he mentioned the death toll, there was a burst of exclamation.

The death toll here naturally refers to not only the three warriors, but also the professors and the audience.

Watching a game will kill a lot of people, and the cost is indeed very high.

Levin couldn't help but think of a black car tragedy that occurred in Le Mans, France in 1955.

But obviously, the students in the auditorium are not worried about the people who died more than a hundred years ago.

What does this have to do with them?

"There have been several attempts over the centuries to revive the Tournament," Dumbledore said loudly.

"But none of them were successful. However, our International Magical Cooperation Department and Magical Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic believe that the time is ripe to try again. This summer we have done a lot of work to ensure that every warrior will not Life is in danger.”

"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected competitors, and the ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to participate in the competition Triwizard Cup, you can win honor for your school, and you can also get a thousand Galleons bonus as an individual."

A thousand galleons!

This number almost set the whole castle on fire.

Dumbledore seemed to be saying:

Want honor and galleons?

If you want, become a warrior!

All the galleons go there!

Harry and Ronald immediately thought of their experience on the train, and both expressed their intention to participate.

As long as you can become a warrior and win on behalf of Hogwarts,

Isn’t it easy to be a prefect?

Hermione did not participate in the conversation between the two, but calmly stared at the "Book of All Laws" spread out on the table while eating strawberry mousse.

"Hermione, how can you still watch?" Ronald asked strangely. "Don't you want to participate?"

Hermione shook her head and held up a finger.

"A school only has one place per 3.7 students."

This time her mouth was Ginny's.

In the entire Gryffindor, Ginny is probably the girl closest to Hermione.

This sentence poured cold water on Harry and Ronald's heads.

Only then did they realize how cruel the reality was.

There is only one spot in Hogwarts. In this case, who can take the Warrior spot from Levin?

At this time, Dumbledore spoke again: "I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament trophy for Hogwarts, but the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic have agreed to set an age limit for this year's competitors. Only young people Only students over the age of seventeen are allowed to register for consideration. We feel that——"

Dumbledore raised his voice slightly, his tone extremely serious.

"This measure is necessary because the events of the competition are still very difficult and dangerous. No matter how many precautions we take, it is simply impossible for students below sixth and seventh grade to handle it. I will join forces with Beauxbatons and The principal of Durmstrang, on the basis of the original measures, has placed sufficient restrictions to prevent students who are not old enough to deceive our fair referees and become warriors in the Triwizard Tournament."

From a distance, Levin and Dumbledore's eyes met. Dumbledore had no intention of looking away, "Therefore, if you are under seventeen years old, I beg you not to waste your time in applying."
