Admiral of Hogwarts

The moment the Beauxbatons students took off their scarves, there was a little commotion among the students at Hogwarts, because one of the girls seemed to be unusually attractive.

This girl has long waterfall-like silver hair that hangs down to her waist. She also has a pair of big blue eyes and a pair of white and neat teeth.

"Fleur Delacour!" Hugo immediately recognized the specific identity of the girl who just sneered when the principal was speaking.

In terms of appearance alone, Furong's appearance is already quite stunning, but she is just like a ship girl in her normal state. What's really attractive about her is that she has a special temperament that makes people unable to take their eyes away like a magnet.

"Is that girl really a human?" The moment Fleur revealed her appearance, Hermione suddenly said to Hugo through the Admiral Network. "When she showed her face, I felt a mental shock. This is completely beyond what a human can do."

"What you feel is right, my dear sister." Hugo looked at Fleur who was sitting not far away and said, "If you feel it carefully, you will find that this kind of mental shock is similar to what we encountered during the summer vacation—— "

"Veela - no, no, non-human creatures are not allowed to use wands." Before Hugo could finish speaking, Hermione reacted immediately. "She should be a wizard with Veela blood."

"I think this is most likely the case, and I think she is very likely to be a contestant at Beauxbatons this year." Hugo reminded his sister.

"Compared with ordinary wizards, wizards who are mixed with non-human beings often have special advantages in certain aspects. For example, our dean, Professor Flitwick, has much better spell-casting ability than ordinary wizards."

Just as the two people were exchanging information quickly, the door of the auditorium opened. Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch walked in and sat on the two empty seats on the podium. .

Obviously, as the organizer of the event, the Ministry of Magic must send people to attend the opening ceremony, so it sent Ministry of Magic officials related to external communication to show its presence.

As long as everything goes normally, there will be an article on the front page of tomorrow's "Daily Prophet" that says that under the wise leadership of the Ministry of Magic, the Triwizard Tournament successfully kicked off at Hogwarts, etc.

When the last dessert was eaten, the golden plate was wiped clean again. At this time, Professor Dumbledore stood up and walked to the edge of the podium.

Without him speaking, the entire auditorium fell silent again. A feeling of excitement and nervousness seemed to permeate the entire hall. Because everyone knows that next the principal will talk about how to select the warriors for the Triwizard Tournament.

Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students have come up with a variety of guesses about how the Triwizard Tournament contestants will be selected, ranging from dueling screenings to house-wide votes.

However, for Ravenclaw and Slytherin students, they have learned from their elders at home or from books that this competition is traditionally selected by a magical item called the Goblet of Fire, similar to the Sorting Hat. .

"The moment has finally arrived," Dumbledore said without hesitation, "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I would like to explain a few words first, and then bring the box in -"

"Let me introduce our guests first. They are Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch from the Ministry of Magic. They have been making various preparations for the Triwizard Tournament in the past few months."

After the principal finished speaking, everyone applauded. Mr. Bagman smiled and waved to everyone after hearing the applause, while Crouch still sat there with a serious face.

"In the next period of time, together with me, Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxim, they will form a judging panel to judge the efforts of the warriors." After everyone stopped applauding, Dumbledore continued said.

As soon as they heard the word "warrior", all the students cheered up. Dumbledore seemed to notice their sudden silence. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium just now. Now he was walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand. The box looked very old. There is even an obvious layer of patina on it.

"The specific events for this year's Warriors competition have been carefully reviewed by Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman," said Dumbledore as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him.

"They also made many necessary arrangements for each project. There are three projects in total, which are carried out at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many different aspects..."

"Test their talents in magic - their courage and their ability to reason - and, of course, their ability to overcome danger." After hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, and everyone seemed to stop Take a breath.

"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition," Dumbledore continued calmly, "each representing a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event."

"At the end of the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is a fair selector, which is the Goblet of Fire."

Having said this, Principal Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the box three times. The lid slowly creaked open. He reached in and pulled out a crudely carved wooden goblet.

The cup itself looks inconspicuous, but there are blue-white flames dancing inside. At the same time, Hugo could feel that there was a soul similar to the core of the Sorting Hat hidden in this flame.

This is actually a relatively advanced application of ancient alchemy, and is part of the research results in the research direction of artificial intelligent life.

It's just that except for Hugo and the ship girls, the other students on the field can't see the mystery in the Goblet of Fire at all, so naturally they think it is ordinary.

"Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet."

Dumbledore said as he closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the Great Hall could see the cup.

"Those who wish to become warriors can sign up within twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night, which is Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools."

"Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the hall, and all students who are willing to participate in the election will have access to it. In order to prevent students who are not old enough to withstand the temptation. After the goblet is placed in the hall, I will be around it. Draw an age line. No one under seventeen can cross it."

"In addition, tonight each of the three schools will send personnel to guard the only entrance and exit of the auditorium to ensure the safety of the Goblet of Fire."

"Where did this guardian come from?" After hearing Dumbledore say this, Hugo felt a little surprised, because he remembered that this matter did not exist at all in the original text.
