The dinner officially ended when Tver ate his fourth portion of blancmange, and the plate returned to its original clean and tidy appearance.

To be honest, Tver always felt that the most powerful thing about Hogwarts was the food teleportation magic left by Helga.

Every time it is used, any food and debris can be accurately transferred to the kitchen, and not even a small piece of chocolate will be taken away from the student’s own.

You can even identify the cookies that Tver left privately!

This large-scale magic can still maintain accuracy, and its level of sophistication can be said to have surpassed the fire shield that the teacher is most proud of.

Of course, the two are very different, so they cannot be compared so simply.

In Turville’s random thoughts, Dumbledore stood up again.

“I think you have been looking forward to this for a long time, but before the competition starts, you may have noticed that there are two more guests here.”

“Ms. Cynthia Wasica, Director of the Office of International Magical Law, Division of International Magical Cooperation.”

Cynthia stood up gracefully. The sharp contrast between her young and beautiful face and her status as a senior official of the Ministry of Magic caused a wave of exclamations.

However, the applause was a little sparse, and it only became enthusiastic after Tver took the lead in applauding.

“Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports.”

This time, the applause was much more enthusiastic. After all, Bagman’s status as a former Quidditch player gave him a lot of points.

Of course, there is also his friendly appearance.

“The two departments, the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Sports, have been working on this project for the past few months and have made great efforts to get the Triwizard Tournament started again.”

Dumbledore said loudly: “So, these two guests will form a referee’s bench together with the principals of our three schools to judge the performance of the warriors!”

Upon hearing the word warrior, the students immediately pricked up their ears and stopped discussing Cynthia just now.

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore smiled slightly.

“Mr. Filch, please bring up the box.”

Filch, who had been waiting in the corner of the auditorium for a long time, unexpectedly held a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand. The box looked very old.

Hearing Dumbledore’s call, he quickly trotted to the staff table and placed the box on a table in front of Dumbledore.

“The competition events for the Triwizard Tournament have been determined. There are three in total, and they span our entire school year.”

“These projects will test the wisdom, courage, strength and other aspects of the warriors. Even if you think I am a bit verbose, I still want to remind you -”

Dumbledore’s voice suddenly increased, and he scanned the entire auditorium with an extremely oppressive look.

“The events of the competition are very dangerous. Even if we try our best to take various safety measures, we can’t guarantee that the warriors will survive safely!”

Sensing the seriousness of the words, the auditorium suddenly fell silent. The students’ originally excited and expectant smiles became stiff, and they looked at each other, not daring to say anything more.

Dumbledore ignored the scene, as if what he just said was not his, and walked to the box on his own.

“Each school will select a warrior to represent their respective school, which means we will select three warriors!”

“And these warriors will be selected through the absolutely fair and just Goblet of Fire!”

He pulled out his wand and tapped the box three times. Feeling his magic, the box slowly creaked open.

Dumbledore reached into the open lid and took out an inconspicuous cup.

This is a large, roughly carved wooden goblet, so rough that it would be considered crude even for a child’s toy.

But there was a mysterious blue-white flame beating inside!

Powerful contract magic…

Twil looked at the Goblet of Fire with a strange expression.

Judging from the fluctuations coming from this cup, it is somewhat similar to the teacher’s fire shield? !

It’s just that the flame on it is not Li Fire, but the Gubler Fairy Fire that Dumbledore is best at.

Unlike the powerful aggressiveness of Li Fire, Gu Pulai Fairy Fire is famous for its gentle persistence.

But don’t just think that this flame is weak. In fact, it is still a flame that can devour everything!

It is even said that in a sense, the Gubulai Immortal Fire is a powerful fire that is easier to control and lasts longer!

This magic Tweel can be used reluctantly, but only barely. If he wants to achieve the level of control he has over Li Huo, he has to find someone to ask for advice…

Just when Tweel was planning to take advantage of Dumbledore,

A commotion interrupted his thoughts.

It turned out that Dumbledore had already introduced the age line and selection method, and announced the end of the dinner.

“It’s time for me to go. I’ll come back tomorrow when the list is out. The Ministry of Magic is a little… chaotic right now.” Cynthia sighed helplessly and whispered to Tver before standing up.

“Thank you for your hard work. In fact, you can also try to win over some neutrals, such as Arthur Weasley. Although they may seem inconspicuous, together they can have a strong voice in the Ministry of Magic.”

“Let me try it.” Cynthia nodded thoughtfully and stood up.

“Are you going back now, Ms. Cynthia?” Bagman asked with a red face.

It was rare to meet Professor McGonagall who knew Quidditch and Professor Trelawney who liked to drink. They drank a lot together.

“There are still many matters in the Ministry of Magic waiting for me to go back and deal with. How about you? It looks like you are going to stay here for a while?”

Bagman immediately thought of the strange atmosphere in the Ministry of Magic. Based on his interpersonal relationships, he had long realized that something was wrong.

Especially Cynthia, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is actually not that simple!

Therefore, he quickly put away his smiling face and nodded respectfully.

“Yeah, we’re going to talk some more.”

Cynthia did not answer any more. People like Bagman are neither easy to win over nor easy to resist. To put it bluntly, this is the Ministry of Magic’s version of Lucius, who will only follow the trend.

Saying goodbye to Dumbledore and the others again, Cynthia left the auditorium first.

As if this was a signal, the professors and guests on the faculty bench also stood up. Except for those who wanted to continue chatting, they all rushed to the door.

There was also a little hiccup during this period.

Karkaroff discovered Harry’s existence and was severely warned by Moody, causing some unpleasantness.

This reminded Tver that the principal of his alma mater was once a real Death Eater!

This is not surprising. When Voldemort was in power, many wizards who liked to study dark magic would move closer to him so that they could have a relaxed research environment.

These people and Voldemort were just using each other, and they were far from loyal.

Only Karkaroff clearly joined the ranks of Death Eaters, even though he regretted it not long after.

It’s a pity that Voldemort doesn’t like such duplicitous people…
