The Trinity of Harry Potter
Chapter 158: The Three Powers Contest for Hegemony
"The Triwizard Tournament is a traditional event jointly organized by the three wizarding schools of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. It aims to promote academic exchanges among the young generation of wizards from various countries and enhance the overall strength of the wizarding world.
"
Dumbledore's official accent was already familiar to everyone except for young wizards like Harry and Hermione who grew up in the ordinary world.
"The Triwizard Tournament has been held every five years since its inception seven hundred years ago. Each time, three warriors from three schools passed through the three set points to win honor for their schools. They also returned
A bonus of one thousand galleons."
The little wizards shouted enthusiastically. Maybe some people didn't feel the challenge and honor, but anyone with a thousand galleons could understand it.
Kano can only lament that the inflation in the magic world is not serious. Otherwise, whether the amount of bonuses seven hundred years ago would still be cheering today is a big question.
Harry has no interest in money, but he inexplicably wants to express himself in Qiu Zhang. Becoming a warrior and winning may be a good opportunity.
"But why was this competition discontinued back then?" Hermione was a little confused.
"Because too many people died." Kano explained, "For example, Durmstrang's black magic has always been very strong, so they will set up a level that requires a tough battle so that their warriors can stand out."
"Several Beauxbatons warriors died at the hands of various dangerous magical creatures."
"This is too bad!" Hermione said in disgust, "Then why do we still hold competitions with Durmstrang?"
"Hogwarts isn't much better." Kano replied in a low voice, "Can you deal with the giant stone man made by transfiguration? Although the contestants that year only had to solve the puzzles carved on the chest of the stone man, and
Use the wand to light specific candles in order from a group of candles guarded by the stone man. But Durmstrang's warrior fell down during the game and hit the back of his head on a stone."
"One year, Beauxbatons set up an alchemy device puzzle. The Hogwarts warriors tried to solve it violently, but half their heads were blown off on the spot."
Hermione opened her mouth.
"The three schools behind have become so angry that any friendly exchanges have turned into slogans that no one believes in. The Triwizard Tournament has turned into pure mutual strife. At least one person will die in the competition every five years."
"When the last three warriors passed the third level at the same time," Kano waved his hand, "they were all wiped out, and then the game was interrupted, and no one mentioned it again."
Dumbledore seemed to have heard Kano's dark history broadcast and raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, of course." He clapped his hands, "In order to prevent the recurrence of tragedies, this year's projects will be jointly reviewed by the three schools. And all warriors must be over seventeen years old."
"I personally guarantee that this supervisor is absolutely impartial."
There was a wailing sound below, and many young wizards who were eager to try were extremely disappointed.
Kano just wanted to tell them to sleep well and don't dream.
"Before Halloween in October, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will come to Hogwarts, and everyone will spend the next school year together." Dumbledore waved his hand at the end, "Let's eat!
"
For the first time, something was more attractive than food at the opening dinner. The little wizards held knives and forks in their hands, but they were not in a hurry to eat, but chatted excitedly with their classmates.
"It's so unfair. Why aren't we allowed to participate?" Fred said angrily. Their age difference was only a few months.
"It doesn't matter, we can try age-enhancing drugs. As long as we deceive the fair referee, we can compete." George blinked, "The referee doesn't know us anyway."
"But this game is really dangerous and can kill people!" Hermione discouraged anxiously.
"Don't worry, little Hermione. According to what we know about the principal, he will not let projects that are too dangerous pass the review."
"And this is the first Triwizard Tournament to be held again after many years. No one wants to kill anyone no matter what."
Fred was absolutely right. The biggest pusher for the restart of the game was Fudge, the former Minister of Magic.
He promotes the Triwizard Tournament as a political achievement and wants to rely on it to restore his reputation, so naturally he doesn't want to cause any trouble.
It's a pity that he didn't wait until this day, and he was jointly killed by Kano and Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour just had to sit back and enjoy the results and send someone to keep an eye on the progress.
Just in time, this way he can free up his hands to prepare for battle.
"Why do you want to participate? Isn't it because you took the money I invested in gambling and exported it?"
Kano suddenly thought of the incident in the original book where the twins used their savings to gamble with Ludo and never got back a single point, so he couldn't help but ask more questions.
"How could it be? That guy Ludo did come to us and asked us if we could place a bet." Fred shook his head and said, "But we are not short of money now. We are exhausted just doing the mailing orders. We need to collect money and collect money."
So soft."
"And we heard him talk about you not betting, so we won't jump into the pit." George added, "You never make mistakes."
"We just want to find some excitement. This kind of activity is the only one in our entire student life."
Kano breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, remember, you won't die a happy death if you bet on dogs."
But if you think about it this way, since the twins didn't place the bet, Ludo didn't owe the twins a large amount of money, and naturally they wouldn't be collecting debts.
In other words, he might be able to use the betting money lost to him from others to cover the loan shark he borrowed from the goblin?
Did you save him in disguise?
Kano scratched his head, maybe this time Ludo wouldn't have to run away after the game.
The dinner ended with the excited discussion of the students. After filling their bellies, the little wizards fell asleep and finally stopped.
Kano came to the principal's office as usual, drank a cup of tea to relieve his appetite, and watched him take out the box containing the locket.
"Although I'm basically certain, it's better to see it with my own eyes."
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and opened the box.
The surface of the locket was already covered with cracks, and there was a crisp shattering sound when the box was opened.
A blue ball of light rose from inside, and the ball of light contained the liver fragments of Voldemort's soul.
In the original book, the soul in the locket can bewitch Ron and amplify his character's shortcomings of jealousy and anger.
Will different soul fragments have different attractions? Does the ring containing "lungs" in Gunter's old house make people sad and painful?
"There is still one Gaunt family ring left. We will get it back in a few days." Dumbledore arranged. "The last Horcrux should be Hufflepuff's golden cup. I don't know where it is now."
"
"In the Lestrange family treasury." Cano added, "Bellatrix and I still have an account to settle, and we will settle it together at that time."
As long as Voldemort is resurrected, he will definitely summon those loyal old men who have been squatting in Azkaban for more than ten years, and Bellatrix will naturally come out when the time comes.
Kano will treat her well.
