New Professor at Hogwarts

Looking at the appearance of the two brothers, Xia Ran couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

"I warned you." A low but amused voice said. Everyone turned their heads and saw Professor Dumbledore walking out of the auditorium.

He looked at Fred and George with a twinkle in his eye and said, "I suggest you both go to Madam Pomfrey, who is already taking care of Miss Fawcett and Hufflepuff in Ravenclaw. Mr. Summers, they both have also made up their minds to look a little older. But I must say, their beards are far less beautiful than yours."

Fred and George set off for the hospital, accompanied by Lee Jordan, who was still laughing.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione also chatted and laughed happily and went into the Great Hall to have breakfast.

"Good morning, Sharon." Dumbledore greeted.

Xia Ran had a natural expression and replied: "Good morning, Dumbledore, do you want to eat more? I'm hungry." After saying that, she entered the auditorium.

Dumbledore touched the white beard on his chin, hesitated, looked at the Goblet of Fire, shook his head, and went upstairs to his principal's office.

Xia Ran secretly thought: "Well, it seems that he will avoid meeting Dumbledore alone in the past few days. After a few days, all the warriors have been selected, and he will not be able to remember this matter."

He still felt a little guilty. After all, the Goblet of Fire's dim luster and appearance of being extinguished were all caused by him.

Xia Ran calmly walked to the seat and sat down to eat.

This morning, the decoration of the auditorium changed again, because it was Halloween. A large group of live bats flew around the enchanted ceiling, and there were hundreds of little pumpkins carved in every corner. Looking askance at everyone.

"Charran, how is the arrangement?" Professor Flitwick asked, standing on the chair.

"Not bad." Xia Ran smiled, "Did you arrange it again, Professor Flitwick?"

"And Hagrid!" Professor Flitwick said. Every time there was a banquet in the school, Professor Flitwick enthusiastically took over the task of decorating the auditorium.

Of course, Hagrid would also be very enthusiastic to help sometimes.

"Hey, Xia Ran, it looks like you have undergone some changes." Professor Flitwick suddenly said in surprise.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Small progress, small progress."

"congratulations."

After breakfast, Xia Ran returned to the office. He thought he still needed time to get familiar with the increased magic power.

After the sun went down and they almost arrived at the hotel, Xia Ran went downstairs and entered the auditorium again.

The Goblet of Fire had been moved and now stood in front of Dumbledore's empty chair on the staff table.

"Who do you think it will be? Sharon, the warrior of Hogwarts." Professor Flitwick asked.

"Digory? He has the best hope." Xia Ran answered.

"Yeah, I think it's him too. What a great young man." Professor Flitwick said.

Professor Sprout was smiling. Cedric Diggory was a student of Hufflepuff, and she was the headmaster of Hufflepuff House.

Because of the Triwizard Tournament, basically all the staff of Hogwarts came to the auditorium, including professors, administrator Filch, librarian Mrs. Pince, and school nurse Ms. Pomfrey. .

The Halloween dinner seemed to take much longer than usual, perhaps because it was a banquet on two consecutive days, and many students were not as fond of these sumptuous dishes carefully prepared by the house elves as usual.

People in the auditorium kept looking up, with anxious expressions on every face.

Everyone was restless, standing up from time to time to see if Dumbledore had finished eating.

Everyone is like this, eager to finish what is on the plate quickly so that they can quickly know who is chosen as the warrior.

Xia Ran basically knew the candidates for the Warriors, and he was one of the rare calm people in the auditorium.

"The warriors of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, who will they be in the end?" Professor Trelawney whispered.

"Sibyl, don't you know how to predict? Let's do some divination." Professor McGonagall said.

Professor Trelawney snorted and said, "The Third Eye will not be opened because of such a trivial matter!"

"I think..." Xia Ran smiled, "Durmstrang, there is no doubt that it will be Krum. As for Beauxbatons, the girl with Veela blood is also very likely. The choice has been made.”

This is how it was in the original space and time, and nothing should change now.

As he spoke, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the voices in the auditorium suddenly became much louder.

Immediately, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium became silent again.

Not only the students from the three schools, but also Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim on both sides of Dumbledore looked as nervous and full of expectations as everyone else.

Two officials from the Ministry of Magic were also there. Ludo Bagman was smiling and blinking at the students from various schools, while Mr. Barton looked uninterested and could almost be said to be a little bored.

"Okay, it's time for the Goblet to make a decision." Dumbledore said with a smile. "I guess it may take another minute. Listen, after the names of the warriors are announced, I hope they go to the top of the auditorium, and then Walk past the staff desk and enter the next room..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the door behind the faculty desk and continued: "They will get preliminary guidance there!"

He took out his wand and waved it widely. In an instant, all the candles except those in the jack-o-lantern were extinguished, and the auditorium fell into a state of semi-darkness.

The Goblet of Fire was now emitting a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium. The splashing blue-white flames were simply a bit dazzling at this time, but everyone was watching and no one looked away.

Everyone is waiting...who will become the warrior?

A few people kept looking at their watches.

"Soon." Hagrid whispered, but even so his voice was still loud, startling Professor Flitwick who was standing beside him.

"Feel sorry."

Xia Ran didn't seem that interested. He held his chin with one hand and stared at the Goblet of Fire.

Suddenly, the flame in the goblet turned red, crackling sparks burst out, and then a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out of it.

Everyone in the entire auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore caught the parchment and held it far away so that he could read the writing clearly in the light of the flames.

The flame returned to blue-white at this time.

"The Warriors of Durmstrang..."

Dumbledore announced clearly and forcefully: "It's Viktor Krum!"

"It's not surprising at all!" Ron shouted loudly at the Gryffindor table. Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium. Durmstrang's warrior was Krum. This was expected by many people. fact.

Who else in Durmstrang can compare with Krum?
