Big Boss In The Harry Potter World

Chapter 227 Triwizard Tournament

The lightning illuminated the man's face extremely vividly. The students had never seen such a face before. It looked as if it had been carved out of a piece of rotten wood by a person who had only a vague idea of ​​what a human face should look like and wasn't very good at using a carving knife. Every inch of skin on that face seemed to be scarred, and the mouth was like a big, crooked hole.

The place where the nose should be raised is missing. The most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.

One of his eyes is small, black, and shiny, but the other eye is very large, round like a coin, and it 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 eyeball rolled over and penetrated into the man's head. Inside, everyone saw a big white eyeball.

If it weren't for the lighting in Dali's "May 43" Hall, and if the students hadn't known that the professors were here, some students might have started to prepare to escape.

Dumbledore spoke in time to stop some students from screaming, "Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor: Professor Moody."

Normally, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome him, but now, except for Dumbledore and Hagrid, no 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 stunned by Moody's strange appearance and just stared at him intently.

The students looked at Moody with different expressions.

Gryffindors mostly looked at Professor Moody with excitement and curiosity, Hufflepuff was a little afraid of Moody's terrifying face, and Ravenclaw remained reserved as usual, not whispering like other colleges. The Slytherin students are interesting. They look at the classmates around them with resentment, fear, indifference, and gloating. It can also be seen from this that the students within Slytherin are not monolithic.

As for those students who glared at Moody, their elders basically had the experience of falling into Moody's hands. Some were killed on the spot, and some were imprisoned in Azkaban. The same goes for those students who are afraid. Their families I have more or less interacted with Moody, and I know what kind of person this former Auror is. Basically, these students' families are related to Death Eaters.

As for those students who have nothing to do with themselves and are gloating about others' misfortunes, their families have nothing to do with Death Eaters, or they have already drawn a clear line with Death Eaters. Usually, they are often ignored by students who have connections with Death Eaters in the small circle of Slytherin. Crowding, this scene made them all feel proud and proud.

Moody's famous evil eye kept turning, and he looked at each student's face, while his normal eye was looking at Dumbledore.

"Long time no see, old friend." Moody shook hands with Dumbledore, and then sat in his seat. He didn't care about the eyes of the students or the attitudes of the professors next to him. He took out a bag from under his cloak as if no one else was there. He took a deep sip from the curved wine bottle. "The pumpkin juice in front of him didn't seem to have any appeal to him.

The students started whispering again because they saw Moody's wood-carved prosthetic leg when he was taking out the bottle.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and looked at the students with different expressions in the audience with a smile.

"As I just said, over the next few months we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy to report that the top three The Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

"You're kidding!" Fred... maybe George, who cares, even their parents can't tell who the two of them are. In short, it's just one of the twins. As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, shouted out.

The effect was quite good. The tense atmosphere that had enveloped the auditorium since Moody entered was suddenly broken. Almost everyone laughed out loud, and Bullido also laughed softly with appreciation.

"No, I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore said, "But since you mentioned joking, I heard a very interesting joke about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun. They They all went to the same pub..."

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat.

No students were whispering to each other at this time, even those who were already informed. They all wanted to hear what Dumbledore had to say about the Triwizard Tournament.

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe...the three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is a competition between different countries. It was a great way for young wizards to build friendships - but then, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued."

Most students looked at each other uneasily after hearing the word "death count", but only Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Most of the Gryffindors seemed to have not heard the word and still stared at Dumbledore excitedly. Slytherin remained expressionless as usual.

"Over the course of a century, there have been several attempts to revive the Tournament," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports believe that the time is ripe for another attempt. . We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that every warrior will not encounter life-threatening danger."

Perhaps seeing the uneasiness of some students, Dumbledore comforted him.

"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 In the Triwizard Cup, you can win 3.7 honors for your school, and you can also get a thousand Galleons bonus as an individual."

Now the atmosphere was completely lively.

It has never happened before that students from other schools come to Hogwarts in groups. The students are looking forward to this very much, not to mention the thousand galleons that follow. That's a thousand galleons

It's a huge sum of money. When Solim sponsored the Weasley brothers, it was only two hundred galleons. Even if it was used to purchase various materials and conduct various experiments, the money has not been spent yet.

As long as it doesn't involve materials like dragon's blood, one thousand galleons is enough for the two brothers to open their joke shop.

Money is attractive, and the temptation of one thousand galleons is fatal to these students, but most of them are relatively rational, and only a small number of people are immersed in the fantasy of one thousand galleons. .
