The banquet started after the performance. Durmstrang's students sat on the Slytherin side, and Beauxbaton's students, who were almost all girls, went to the same blue-based one, which just caught their attention. The Ravenclaw table goes.After all the guests were seated, Dumbledore welcomed them again with a speech.

There are a lot of exotic foods on the table. Whether it is the guests from afar or the students who have been looking forward to the whole day, they all love the food on the table. The good environment and good food make the students active , Share interesting stories with your classmates while having dinner.

Some students looked around while eating, and soon they noticed that there was an empty chair next to Professor Snape on the professor's seat. According to usual habits, Professor Snape liked to sit at the far end , Sitting next to him is Professor Rutgers.What's strange today is that Lord Snake King didn't sit in his exclusive seat away from Dumbledore who is constantly selling sweets. He sat in the third seat with Dumbledore as the center, next to Professor McGonagall, and there was still space beside him. A position, followed by the position of Rutgers professor.The students could see that the three headmasters were sitting in the middle, and the four headmasters lined up on the left and right, followed by other professors and eight professor representatives, but the vacant seat next to Professor Snape was who?Some students were mischievous and joked about whether they would give Kate a place. Everyone laughed and found that little Kate really didn't know where she was going.

When the students were wondering and guessing, Lucius and Kate came in through the small side door of the auditorium. Lucius walked to the seat next to Snape naturally, and Kate followed him, but the target was Rogge beside him. s.

Lucius, who came late, nodded to the three principals. After taking the seat, he greeted the two friends around him, and then whispered that only the three of them could hear clearly, jokingly said: "I hope this period of time is not a fixed seat."

After Snape was full and put down the knife and fork in his hand, he took a sip of the wine, looked at Lucius who was still cutting the veal steak, and said, "You can come back after eating at the Ministry of Magic, dedicated Director Malfoy .”

"You can't deprive me of the fun of going back to school, Severus." Swallowing the last bite of tender meat, Lucius looked around the two of them, "It will also let you experience how Sissy and I felt back then." Brow turned to look at Rogers, ignoring Snape's stare, "Don't worry Steve, I'll watch Severus."

"Ahem..." Rogers didn't understand at first, but now he understands everything. Looking at the excited Lucius, Rogers couldn't help thinking, could it be that Snape often sabotaged Lucius? Snape's date with Narcissa, but Snape wasn't the type to do such nonsense.

Rogers met Snape's gaze at this matter, and Snape looked past the troublesome Lucius to meet Rogers' eyes, effectively preventing Rogers from continuing to speculate.Rogers shrugged at Snape, expressing his disbelief in Lucius' joke.

"Lucius, did you just say that you lived in Hogwarts during the competition?" Rutgers grasped the point, ignoring his friend's joke just now.

Smiling, Lucius cast his eyes on the Slytherin table, looking at Draco who was chatting with Durmstrang's students, "Yes, I am very lucky to be able to accompany Xiaolong through this special time. year."

Snape muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, Merlin is lucky to be joking."

Before Lucius had time to start a new round of confrontation with Snape, the food on the table disappeared after dinner. Dumbledore tapped his wine glass, and the clear voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

It's time to enter our most important part of the day," Dumbledore said with a smile, "About the Triwizard Tournament, our main event this year, first of all, let's welcome the representative of our Ministry of Magic. I think everyone knows this representative very well. , our young and promising Director of Magical Law Enforcement is also one of our school trustees, Mr. Lucius Malfoy. "

In the auditorium, led by Draco, there was loud applause, which was louder than the ones welcoming the arrival of the two schools before. It can be seen that our little cubs subconsciously think that everything is better than our own. The Hogwarts professors on the professor's chair, especially the four deans smiled indistinctly.The applause gradually stopped when Lucius stood up, standing upright with his head raised, his aristocratic temperament undoubtedly revealed.

"Thank you very much everyone, I am very happy that I can represent the Ministry of Magic this year. Back to Hogwarts, back home, I believe I can spend a wonderful year with you." The cadence of the aria, simple A single sentence, full of emotion.

Lucius nodded to express his gratitude. Such a move made the students like the most popular man in Britain even more, and the applause rang out again.The expressions of the two principals and professor representatives on the professor's seat were a little stiff. The re-hosting of the Triwizard Tournament was proposed by the Ministry of Magic of their two countries and the British Ministry of Magic in order to promote the relationship between the three countries. Big money, they want to cooperate, want a piece of the pie.

The two schools came to Hogwarts. When they came here just now, they appeared to show the prestige of the country they represented, but the British are not stupid or weak. Look at the scene in the auditorium just now Welcome to the show. Looking at the present, people are willing to spend a lot of money, and even the director of the legal department has come to live for a year.They had nothing to say, and their country's Ministry of Magic didn't send any directors over, let alone director-level ones.

"In the past few months, Mr. Malfoy and the excellent staff of the Ministry of Magic have worked tirelessly, and the two principals have also done a lot That's why we gather at Hogwarts tonight." Dumbledore continued, "Mr. , Professor Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim form the jury panel."

"Now, please ask our Mr. Filch to bring the box." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Tonight, Filch, who was wearing a neat and clean suit, walked out of the auditorium, and came back shortly after with a box. Dumbledore and the two headmasters walked up to the box, pulled out their wands, tapped the box, and opened it.

"Registration method, applicants write down their full names on a piece of paper and put them into the cup." Dumbledore paused for a moment, making the students who were discussing in the audience perk up their ears, "This competition will be participated in the form of a team. , each school has four professors to guide and lead three students to participate in the three competitions, and two professors are sent to lead one student to complete each round of the competition. Our Hogwarts representative professor is Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape and Professor Rutgers, yes, dear children, your Professor McGonagall will be the groundskeeper, and unfortunately he cannot participate. Let me remind you that this competition is not random Participate as much as you want, even if it is a team competition, there will be one or two professors in each event, it is also a competition with life as the stake, once the parchment with the name is burned by the Goblet of Fire, the contract cannot be formed Change your mind. Students who want to sign up can go to your professors for consultation. Students from the two schools should also discuss with your four professors to carefully sign up. Everyone has 24 hours to consider. Tomorrow night on Halloween, the Goblet of Fire will The names of the nine most qualified players will be given. Well, I think it’s time for everyone to rest, good night, and good dreams.”

The unexpected format of the competition, the unexpected registration form, and the withdrawal of the professors one after another made the students who were still watching the Goblet of Fire look at each other in dismay.The Durmstrang students were taken away by their four professors and Karkaroff, whose students had no immediate intention of enrolling, and they left the auditorium and headed out, where they would live in their boat.Beauxbaton's students were divided into two teams, living in Slytherin and Hufflepuff, which were relatively small in number, and they followed the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students to the cellar.

Snape, Rogers and Lucius who were walking behind chatted all the way to the cellar, "I live across from you?"

"You go live with Albus, he will welcome you with candies." Lord Snake King Snape showed a very unwelcoming look to Lucius, and Rogers beside him had nothing to say, so he let the two continue their work. struggle.

"Albus and I have different work and rest schedules. I still don't want to disturb him as an old man to rest. I have told Dora to clean up the room before eating." Without waiting for Snape to refute, Lucius walked forward quickly, Go find Draco who is walking ahead.

The crowd parted at the fork, and after watching all the students and the two professors enter the Slytherin common room, the three of Snape continued walking, and finally walked back to their room.

The three of them seemed to have returned to their rooms, but in fact they flew to the principal's office through the fireplace, and Snape's words just now implied that they were waiting in the principal's office.

"I didn't expect his first action to be this. He seems to care about his so-called subordinates. I don't know if he will care so much when he finds out that his magic power has been lost." Just as all the students fell asleep, waiting for tomorrow's announcement During the competition, there were still a group of people who did not sleep.

"Lucius, you used to be his subordinate, what? Miss him?" Sirius still hasn't digested the fact that Lucius and Snape established the M organization, let alone the fact that they are allies. At the first meeting, there were some bad words.

As the brother-in-law of this family, Lucius really doesn't want to admit this identity, why does he have such an idiot relative, "I'm not Bella thinking about the Dark Lord every day, but it doesn't matter whether I want to miss the Dark Lord, I think Someone missed Sissy's special training."
