Genius in a Second to Remember Love or Go Away? The Internet provides you with wonderful novels to read.
Crouch was indeed abnormal, but it was also possible that he had always been like this.
He was different from normal wizards. He had always been like this.
Elwyn still remembered his spotless suit and leather shoes from the Quidditch World Cup. He felt that he looked a little weird in a wizard's robe. Compared to Dumbledore's long white hair and beard, his short, toothbrush-like beard and neat parting hair looked very awkward. He did not look like a wizard at all.
If he was Barty Crouch Jr.'s impersonation, that would be really awesome.
Of course, this was just Elwyn's guess. Barty Crouch Jr. could also pretend to be a student of Bob Barton or Durmstrong and sneak in.
Just in case, he would go back to the common room later and use the marauder's map to confirm it.
"In the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued. Dumbledore continued, "They will join me, Professor Kakarov, and Mrs. Maxim to form a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors."
The panel of judges confirmed that it was the five of them.
As soon as they heard the word "warriors," the students seemed to be more attentive.
Dumbledore also seemed to notice their sudden silence. He smiled and continued, "Mr. Filch, please bring the box."
No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium. At this moment, he walked toward Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels. The box looked very old.
The students watched in a daze and discussed excitedly.
To see it more clearly, Corin stood on a chair.
His brother Dennis also stood on it, but he was too small. Even when he stood, his head was not much higher than the others.
"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman of the Ministry of Magic have carefully reviewed the specific events of this year's Warrior Tournament," Dumbledore said as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him. "They have also made a lot of necessary arrangements for each event. There are three events in total, held at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many ways, testing their talent in magic, their courage, and their reasoning ability. Of course, their ability to overcome danger. "
Hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, as if everyone had stopped breathing.
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the tournament." Dumbledore continued to speak calmly, "Each participant will represent a participating school, and we will give them a score based on the quality of their completion of each event. After the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Top Three Cup. At the end, the warriors will be selected by a fair selector, the Goblet of Fire! "
At this point, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and knocked three times on the lid of the box.
The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, crudely carved wooden goblet.
The goblet itself was not eye-catching, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.
Elwyn could feel that it was a powerful magical item, but not a legendary one.
Its purpose was to select the warriors from the three magic academies and let them sign a contract with the Triwizard Tournament.
If they were strong enough, they could confuse the Goblet of Fire and affect the selection of the warriors.
With the power of Barty Crouch Jr. and Keresis, they could easily do this.
Perhaps they had already put Harry's name in. The Goblet of Fire had always been kept by the Ministry of Magic. As one of the organizers and judges of the Triwizard Tournament, it was easy for Crouch to touch it without arousing suspicion.
Dumbledore closed the box and placed the goblet on the lid so that everyone in the hall could see it clearly.
"Every student who wants to be a warrior must write their name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet." Dumbledore said, "Those who want to be a warrior can sign up within 24 hours. Tomorrow night, which is Halloween, the goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks can best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the hall, and all students who are willing to participate will be able to touch it. "
"As I said before, to avoid students who are not old enough to resist the temptation." Dumbledore said, "After the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age boundary around it. No one under the age of seventeen can cross this boundary."
"Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate that this tournament is not a game. Do not participate rashly. Once a warrior is chosen by the Goblet of Fire, he must persevere in the competition to the end. Whoever throws their name into the goblet actually forms a magical contract that must be obeyed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. Therefore, please think carefully before you throw your name into the goblet when you are sure that you want to participate wholeheartedly in the competition. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night. "
"Age boundary!" Fred Weasley said, his eyes sparkling. "That's easy. You can definitely be fooled by the age-increasing potion, right? As long as your name is in the goblet, you can smile happily. It can't tell who is seventeen and who is not! "
At this time, the students passed through the auditorium and walked towards the two doors that led to the hall.
"But I don't think anyone under the age of seventeen can win," Hermione said. "We haven't learned enough."
"That's for yourself." George said impatiently, "Think about Elwyn. He is only thirteen this year. How many people in the school can be stronger than him?!"
"Elwyn is different, and he doesn't want to participate. He promised Dumbledore!" Hermione said immediately.
But George ignored her and turned to the others. "Harry, Ron, Corin, you will also try to participate, right?"
The three of them hesitated and finally nodded.
"As long as you can surpass Dumbledore's age boundary, it's not a bad thing to try." Harry remembered Dumbledore's insistence that students under the age of seventeen could not participate, but then he remembered the glorious scene when he won the Top Three Cup.
"By the way, where is he?" Ron said. "Dumbledore didn't say where the representatives of Durmstrand sleep, did he?"
He suddenly remembered and hurriedly searched the crowd for Krum.
