The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Facing the first two unfamiliar names, the little wizards reacted okay, but when the words "Percy Weasley" rang out in the auditorium, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that the person joining the judging panel to represent Hogwarts would be Percy! Not even Percy himself thought of it. Upon hearing the news, Percy's eyes widened and he could easily fit an egg into his mouth. At this moment his mind went blank.

The little wizards in the audience looked at Percy with eyes full of envy, confusion and even jealousy. The reason is also very simple: why?

To be fair, when Dumbledore said that these three people could join the judging panel, none of the students present had any intention of being selected. The reason is also very simple. People who can represent the school must be excellent, but excellent people still have to compete for the quota of warriors. How can they be referees? What if a student is selected and he is selected as a warrior again? Be both a referee and a player? This is definitely not possible, so outstanding graduates must act as referees.

As for being able to become a representative even under the age of seventeen, how can it be such a good thing? Not to mention, it is really possible for one person, but he has been assigned a more important task by Dumbledore in advance.

What shocks everyone is: Why can Percy become a referee? He is indeed very good, but there are many graduates who are better than him. Why was he chosen?

Percy's good brothers, Fred and George, had dangerous gleams in their eyes, and one weird idea after another was tumbling in their minds...

Interestingly, not only the students of Hogwarts were shocked, but the young wizards of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons were also surprised by the representatives of their schools: Issa May and Barry Cloud were both outstanding But not the best character.

It was Dumbledore who made the interpretation. He told everyone present that these three representatives were the best among the students who had graduated in the past three years.

With such a limiting condition, everyone's acceptance of these three people has greatly increased.

The three people selected by Dumbledore have a common characteristic: they have all been student union presidents, and their development momentum after graduation is very good. Needless to say, Percy Weasley thrived in the Ministry of Magic and was entrusted with important tasks by Mr. Crouch. Issa May successfully stayed at the school after graduation and is now an assistant professor at Durmstrang. Barry Cloud is less famous, but he is also said to be an incredible healer and is very good at healing magic. In other words, all three of them are young heroes.

After the introduction, Dumbledore began to talk about this year's arrangements.

The Triwizard Tournament is divided into three events, which are held at different times throughout the school year. These three projects will test the warriors’ abilities in multiple aspects. A panel of judges will score the Warriors based on the quality of each event they complete - Warriors can also earn additional points during the game. A three-person team composed of three representatives will serve as a referee, and they will give the Warriors a score after discussion within the group.

Everything has to be as fair as possible.

Little wizards who are not selected as warriors need not be discouraged. There are ways for other students to participate in all three projects, and they are by no means a one-man show for warriors.

This is Tom's handiwork.

In his opinion, the original three projects were outrageous! Apart from Cedric, Fleur, Krum and Harry, do the other students feel 1% involved? They couldn't even make a few suggestions.

It’s okay if you can’t participate. What’s even worse is that the viewing experience is extremely poor. The first project is not bad, at least in the Quidditch pitch, everyone can see the performance of the warriors. But the second project is underwater, and the third project is in the forest. If Dumbledore didn't come up with some "broadcasting means", the audience would be completely in a daze in the auditorium!

This is too outrageous!

Let Tom choose. He would rather go back to the library and read a book than be stupid in the audience staring at a lake or a forest. 【Note】

So Tom modified the project slightly to allow other students to participate. He also did this to open the door for himself. He didn't want to miss this large-scale entertainment event.

"After the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. As for the absolutely impartial referee responsible for selecting the warriors... the Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore took out his wand and knocked three times on the old wooden box. Next, the lid of the box slowly unfolded, revealing a huge rough wooden goblet, with blue-white flames dancing in the goblet.

The entire auditorium was silent, and countless people swallowed their saliva. Some people, such as Fred and George, couldn't help but feel a little bit ambitious when they saw that the "referee" was an object.

"Students who want to run for the Warriors must write their name and school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet." Dumbledore looked at the students in the audience seriously, "You have a whole day. Time to register. At this time tomorrow night, the Goblet of Fire will select the names of the three students it thinks can best represent the three schools. They are the warriors of the school. Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be left here. Anyone who meets the age requirements Anyone with restrictions can come and sign up.”

Dumbledore glanced at Fred, George and Tom, and continued: "I will set up an age line, and no one under the age of seventeen can cross this line."

Faced with this news, everyone looked calm. Most of the students at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are over seventeen years old, and the young wizards at Hogwarts learned the news early, so Dumbledore's words did not cause any waves - in On the surface.

Secretly, the ambitions of countless people are growing like weeds. Indeed, Dumbledore's supervision measures are simply like an online exam without turning on the camera or microphone, which is very imaginative.

Fred and George's eyes were glaring, Lee Jordan's lips were grinning almost to his ears, and many students at the long tables in the other three colleges also had gleaming eyes. Tom also had other thoughts in his heart.

However, he didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign up for the competition, but wanted to take the opportunity to conduct a test to test a person's identity.

Alastor Moody!

This person's behavior is a bit weird and I have to be careful. If he was an impostor using Polyjuice Potion, he would have dropped the parchment with Harry's name on it into the Goblet of Fire tonight.

This was also the moment when he showed his true qualities.

"Okay, I think it's time to go to bed. Good night, everyone!" Dumbledore ended his speech, and the opening ceremony ended.

When everyone filed out of the auditorium, Tom stopped Harry. He had something to say to Harry.

Good night.

Note: A little speculation about whether Dumbledore engaged in "broadcasting".

Conclusion: Definitely not. In the second project, Dumbledore himself relied on the mermaid leader's report to know what happened during the competition... In other words, they really stupidly stood by the lake for several hours feeding mosquitoes... I It's really hard to understand what the fun of this game is.
