Chapter 130: The Warrior of Hogwarts!
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had three major hobbies in his life:
Fishing, boys, training.
Dumbledore likes fishing. In the past three years, he has caught many fish such as Tom, Quirrell, Lockhart and Malfoy using the Philosopher's Stone, Defense Against the Dark Arts and the position of Headmaster respectively.
This is just a fish that Luofu knows about, but he doesn't know about it. It's like the stars, and there are so many of them!
In short, Dumbledore has been sitting firmly on the fishing platform at Hogwarts for decades and is the top player in the old field of fishing.
Dumbledore was particularly fond of boys.
Grindelwald is a victim of youth, Newt is a victim of youth, and Tom is a victim of middle age.
They all received varying degrees of special care from Dumbledore.
And boys who are paid attention to by Dumbledore will encounter very rough experiences as if cursed.
Needless to say, Grindelwald is still doing hard labor in Nurmengard;
Newt was also expelled from Hogwarts, and was arrested in the Magic Congress in the United States, and was almost killed by Grindelwald. He was lucky enough to find a wife, and fortune turned...otherwise, he would not have ended up much better than Grindelwald. many.
Tom is even worse. He is still floating in the air like a human or a ghost.
Rolf also found that he tended to become the object of Dumbledore's attention in his later years.
Therefore, he is now working hard not to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors!
As for training, of course it was training the Boy Who Lived - Harry Potter.
Dumbledore no longer just paid attention to Harry, but trained him on a deeper level.
The headmaster tried hard to get Harry into the shape he wanted!
The most obvious example is the restricted area on the fourth floor of the first grade, which deliberately lured and allowed Harry to investigate the Sorcerer's Stone in order to cultivate Harry's courage.
Therefore, this Triwizard Tournament made Harry a warrior, and it was obviously Dumbledore who secretly trained him.
But while Dumbledore was training Harry, why did you, Ron, come over to join in the fun?
They are the "Boy Who Lived", what are you? If you get too close to such a lucky person, are you really afraid of being struck to death by thunder?
However, this has nothing to do with Rove. He is only responsible for assigning quotas to the warriors. If anything happens, Dumbledore will take care of it.
So, he decisively tore off the paper with someone's name on it, handed it to Harry and Ron, watched them write their names on it, and then left.
When Harry and Ron returned to Gryffindor House, they were bouncing around as if they had won the lottery.
In fact, they were not the only ones excited, many students were extremely excited.
In this weird and exciting atmosphere, night finally comes and the Halloween dinner begins.
The auditorium is filled with Halloween decorations:
A swarm of live bats flew around the enchanted ceiling, while hundreds of little pumpkin figures leered at everyone from every corner.
The table is once again filled with all kinds of delicious food, but this time the food is more in the dark style of Halloween:
Bloody medium rare steak, vampire corpse made of cake, fried bat wings, roasted pumpkin filled with canned herring, French duck neck shaped like a mouse...
However, this may be the time that everyone least expects Halloween, and even dislikes that the dinner party takes too long.
People in the auditorium showed anxious expressions. Everyone was restless and stood up from time to time to see if Dumbledore had finished his dinner.
Finally, the golden plate returned to its spotless state, and the voices in the auditorium suddenly became much louder.
Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again. He said with a smile:
"Okay, it's time for Goblet to make a decision. Listen, after the warrior's name is announced, you need to walk to the top of the auditorium, walk along the staff table, and enter the next room."
He pointed to the door behind the staff desk and said, "The warriors will receive preliminary guidance there!"
The principal took out his wand and waved it widely. Except for the candles in the jack-o-lantern, all the other candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.
The Goblet of Fire emits a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting with sparks are simply dazzling.
Everyone watched and waited silently.
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 said in a clear and forceful tone:
"Durmstrang's Champion - Viktor Krum!"
Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium.
"Awesome, Viktor!" Karkaroff roared loudly, and despite the loud applause in the auditorium, everyone could hear his voice, "I know you are destined to be a warrior!"
Krum stood up from the Slytherin table, walked toward Dumbledore with his splayed steps. He turned to the right, walked along the staff table, and entered the next room through the door.
The applause and chatter gradually died down, everyone's attention was once again focused on the goblet, and after a few seconds, the flames turned red again.
The second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup, propelled by the flames.
"The Champion of Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "Fleur Delacour!"
"Sister!" Gabrielle said excitedly, "It's you!"
Fleur hummed softly and stood up. She gracefully shook her silver hair and smiled at Rolf:
"Rolf, I'll wait for you in the room, come quickly!"
After saying that, Fleur walked towards the distant room in full view of everyone.
Several girls from Beauxbatons who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried sadly.
The hall soon became quiet again, and this time in the silence, there was a strong excitement that was about to overflow.
Because... it's the turn of the Hogwarts warriors!
The students looked at the Goblet of Fire with burning eyes. It soon turned red again, sparks flew, and the flames jumped high into the air. Dumbledore pulled out the third parchment from the tip of the flames.
Dumbledore looked astonished and stared at the paper in disbelief. The headmaster's expression made the students more curious about the name of the warrior.
Dumbledore paused for a moment, and finally announced loudly:
"The Champion of Hogwarts - Malfoy?!"
After these words fell, the whole hall seemed to be dead silent, and students from other colleges stared at Malfoy in disbelief.
This... Impossible, how could it be Malfoy? !
Scamander, Cedric, Angelina... With so many outstanding students, it is impossible for Draco Malfoy to become a champion!
Even Harry and Ron looked at each other, thinking that Rolf had also given Malfoy a place.
Gabrielle couldn't hide her disappointment, but she was afraid that Rolf would feel uncomfortable, so she tried to cover it up and whispered to comfort her: "Rolf... It's okay, it's just a game."
Rolf touched her head and smiled softly: "No hurry."
After a moment of hesitation, the Slytherin dining table immediately gave out deafening cheers.
Although they didn't think Malfoy was worthy of being a champion, who made him a student of their own college?
Even Snape applauded half-doubtfully and half-happily.
Malfoy even jumped up on the spot, laughed, and then clapped his hands and shouted
"Yes! Good, I am a warrior! I am a warrior! I am a Hogwarts warrior!"
He looked like he was crazy, first hugged Goyle and Crabbe, then clapped his hands and ran towards Snape.
But Dumbledore raised his arms and said in a deep voice:
"Draco Malfoy, the warrior is not you!"
"The warrior is... Lucius Malfoy!"
Draco was stunned in place.
The whole room was silent.
