Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 298: Who is the clown now?

"Okay, it's time for the goblet to make a decision." Dumbledore said. "I think it will take another minute. Listen, after the names of the warriors are announced, I want them to go to the top of the auditorium and then walk along the staff.

Go past the table and enter the prize display room next door—"

Dumbledore pointed to the door behind the staff desk, "—where they will receive initial instruction."

Then he took out his wand and waved it widely. Immediately, all the candles except those in the jack-o'-lantern were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.

The Goblet of Fire now emits a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting with sparks are simply dazzling.

Everyone was watching and waiting...a few people kept looking at their watches...

"Hello, is the house elf here?" Just as everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the minute to pass, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded——

"I want two pieces of fruit salad." Tiera said, regardless of the looks from the people around her, "Put more melons, no matter what kind of melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, melon, whatever, just put more melons."

"Come on Harry, let's have some fruit salad." After the house elf handed two pieces of fruit salad to Tiera, Tiera handed one to Harry, "The watermelon, cantaloupe and cantaloupe here are really...

Very good and fresh.”

"Oh oh oh, okay, thank you, Tiera." Harry said——

Tiera watched Harry take the fruit salad, pick up a fork and eat a piece of watermelon——

Next, Harry Potter was invited to perform a melon-eating act and ate it on himself——

Tiera thought in a playful way, forked a piece of it and put it in her mouth.

The flame in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out.

Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it——

Everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it far away so that he could see the words on it clearly in the light of the flame. The flame then returned to blue-white.

"The champion of Durmstrang," Dumbledore said clearly and forcefully, "is Viktor Krum."

"Not surprising at all!" Ron shouted, as applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium.

Harry saw Viktor Krum stand up from the Slytherin table and walk toward Dumbledore listlessly. He turned to the right, walked along the staff table, and entered the next door through the door.

s room.

"Great, Viktor!" Karkaroff roared loudly, and even though the applause was loud in the auditorium, everyone could hear his voice, "I know you are destined to be a warrior!"

The applause and chatter gradually died down. Now everyone's attention was focused on the goblet again. After a few seconds, the flames turned red again.

The second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup, driven by the flames.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "Fleur Delacour!"

"It's her, Ron!" Harry shouted, and saw the girl who looked like a Veela stood up gracefully, shook her silver hair, and moved lightly from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Walk between the tables.

"Oh, look, they're all disappointed," Hermione said over the commotion, nodding to the other Beauxbatons representatives. Harry thought that "disappointed" was too light a word. Two

The girl who was not selected burst into tears, buried her head in her arms, and cried sadly.

When Fleur Delacour also entered the next room, the auditorium became quiet again. This time, the silence was filled with a strong excitement that could be tasted. Now it was the turn of the warriors of Hogwarts...

At this time, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks burst out, and tongues of fire shot high into the air.

"Next, the warriors of Hogwarts—"

Another note sprayed out from the Goblet of Fire and landed on Dumbledore's hand——

Suddenly, Tiera felt as if something was attached to his body.

When he saw this note, Dumbledore stared slightly and made a very unconcerned and surprised expression.

"Champion of Hogwarts—Tiera Lockhart!" Dumbledore said calmly.

"Hiccup-cough-cough-"

When Tiera heard Dumbledore pronounce her name, she suddenly sucked the piece of watermelon in her mouth into her throat——

Now it was in Catiera's throat.

Tiera had to cough hard several times before coughing the watermelon back into the bowl.

Eat melon at your own home——

The clown is myself!

For a moment, Tiera felt as if everyone in the auditorium was looking at her——

There are many looks of concern, but most of them contain looks of malice and jealousy.

Chattering voices began to appear in the banquet hall.

"Tiera Lockhart!" Dumbledore called again, "Please come forward."

"For God's sake, hurry up!" Hermione pushed Tiera.

Tiera had no choice but to put down the bowl, stood up, forced herself to pretend to be calm, and walked up to Dumbledore——

At the same time, my mind was spinning rapidly.

Now that things have happened and the contract magic of the Goblet of Fire has fallen on him, it is no longer possible to escape——

"Tiera, Tiera..." Dumbledore sighed and said seriously, "You really don't let me worry... Do you know what kind of behavior you are doing?"

"Ah? I'm sorry, Professor, I was wrong..." Tiera wanted to kneel down and apologize out of habit, but suddenly Tiera was stunned for a moment, then turned around and faced the audience——

"Of course I know what this is." Tiera said with a smile, "This is Gryffindor behavior!"

There was silence in the banquet hall at first, but then, high-pitched cheers came from the Gryffindor table——

The first ones to react were of course the Weasley twins, followed closely by Harry and Ron, and Hermione also started to applaud with a look of helplessness on her face——

They clapped, whistled, and even stood up, pounded the table, and stamped their feet, as if they were trying to warm up the atmosphere in the field as if they were afraid of chaos.

And they did succeed.

Deafening cheers like a wave came from the Gryffindor table and spread to the entire banquet hall.

This wave lasted for a long time, and Dumbledore had to shout "Silence" three times before the entire banquet hall became silent.

"Okay, very good." Dumbledore said, "Then the champion of Hogwarts has been decided, Tiera Lockhart!"

"Go Tiera, follow that road to the trophy room." Dumbledore said.

"Wait a moment, principal." Tiera said, "At this beautiful moment, I have a few words to say."

"No! You don't want to!" Dumbledore refused immediately, reflexively wanting to reach out and grab Tiera——

But it was of no use, because Tiera had deftly avoided Dumbledore's little grasp, and found the nearest bench and stood on it——
