Chapter 501 Three Warriors

For the first time, everyone felt that Saturday would be so long.

Time seemed to slow down all of a sudden. The wizard chess and crackling cards that they could never get enough of became boring. Every time they played for a while, they would look up to see if it was getting dark outside.

From morning to noon, and then to afternoon... it felt like a month had passed, and the sky finally got dark.

When the moon rose, everyone couldn't wait to go to the hall.

Perhaps because there were banquets for two consecutive days, the carefully prepared sumptuous dishes were not so popular.

Everyone just ate a few bites and put down their cutlery, and stood up from time to time to see if Professor Dumbledore had finished eating.

"Hurry up and sit down." When Ron stood up for the third time, Hermione finally couldn't help but say, "It takes time for the Goblet of Fire to make a decision. Even Headmaster Dumbledore can't announce the result in advance."

"How do you know?" Ron said, "After throwing your name into the Goblet of Fire, will you know the time?"

"Of course not!" Hermione said impatiently, "Have you never read "Hogwarts: A History"? This is all written in it."

"I don't think many people will read such a thick book." Ron muttered in a low voice, but seeing that Hermione showed signs of being angry, he quickly changed his words and said, "Well, can you please tell us what time it is."

Everyone around looked over.

"The book only mentioned that the Goblet of Fire would go out after one day." Hermione said, "But the Goblet of Fire was taken out at the end of the banquet yesterday. According to the time, it should be around 7:30."

Ron looked at the time. It was 7:10...which means they have to wait another 20 minutes?

He took a plate of pudding in a somewhat irritated manner, and poked it with his fork without eating it, while asking:

"Who do you think will be the champion of Hogwarts?"

Harry looked around and found Fred and George on the other side of the table, then he lowered his voice and said, "I hope it's Angelina."

"I think it's not bad for Fred to be selected." Ron said, "In this way, I can be considered the younger brother of the champion, and maybe Krum will sign for me."

Hermione sneered sarcastically.

"But I think it could be Hermione." Harry suddenly remembered that there was another person around them who had also voted, and then he quickly said, "Your final score is higher than Angelina's."

Hermione blushed rarely, and tried to make herself look normal.

"That's because I chose all the courses last year, so my score is higher."

"No, I think what Harry said makes sense." Ron nodded seriously, "You always complete the professor's task first, and even Snape can't find any mistakes in you."

Hermione turned her head and looked at Ron in surprise, as if she had just met him for the first time.

In fact, after knowing that she had thrown her name into the Goblet of Fire, although Ron didn't say it, Hermione could see that he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart... This was obvious. Since morning, Ron had not taken the initiative to talk to her.

So Hermione never expected that he would say that now.

But Ron didn't notice these. He poked Pudding and continued, "If you really become a warrior... Can you help me get a signature from Krum?"

Hermione's face quickly turned cold, and she grabbed a book and threw it over.

The thick "Evolution of Medieval Runes" fell on the table in front of Ron, and he was so scared that he almost threw the fork in his hand away.

"What are you doing? That book almost hit me." Ron shouted angrily.

But Hermione had already turned her head to the side and didn't look at him again.

Finally, after twenty minutes, the last dessert disappeared.

Dumbledore stood up and the hall suddenly became silent.

"Well, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision." Dumbledore said, and he seemed to be as nervous and expectant as everyone else.

Then he waved his wand, and more than half of the candles in the hall went out, leaving only those in the pumpkin lanterns.

In this semi-dark state, the Goblet of Fire looked brighter than ever, and the bright blue-white flames emitted a dazzling light.

At the Hufflepuff table, Cedric kept breathing, "I have never been so nervous."

"It's coming." Mikel, who had been watching the time, said.

When the time came to half past seven.

Under the gaze of everyone, the flame in the goblet suddenly turned red, and sparks burst out cracklingly, like a volcano about to erupt.

Then, a tongue of fire leaped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out of it... The hall was instantly quiet, and everyone held their breath.

A big hand caught the parchment.

"The champion of Durmstrang..." Dumbledore said loudly: "It's Viktor Krum!"

"Great!"

"It's Krum..."

"That's not surprising!"

Applause and cheers swept the entire hall.

Krum stood up from the Slytherin table, and Ludo Bagman immediately stepped forward and took him to the next room.

"Great, Viktor!" Karkaroff said in a loud voice.

When the applause gradually died down, a second piece of parchment jumped out of the Goblet of Fire.

"The Champion of Beauxbatons..." said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!"

Next to Connor, Fleur stood up gracefully and walked lightly between the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables.

The applause this time was not as enthusiastic as before, because many people looked at her blankly. Ron's mouth was open and he was completely stunned.

When they came to their senses, Fleur also walked into the next room.

The auditorium fell into silence again, but unlike the previous two times, this silence was filled with extremely clear and intense excitement.

Now it’s time to go to Hogwarts Warriors…

When the third piece of parchment appeared in Dumbledore's hand, nearly half of the people couldn't help but stand up.

"The Champion of Hogwarts..." Dumbledore looked at the name on the parchment and suddenly smiled, "It's Kyle..."

Without any warning, Kyle just felt a buzz in his head, as if there were hundreds of Billywig bugs having a dance party, making it so noisy that he couldn't hear anything.

In fact, no words can be heard in the auditorium now.

The deafening cheers surged like a tsunami, as if they were about to overturn the ceiling.

"I knew it!"

Kyle felt like he was being hugged...it was Connor. She screamed and jumped with excitement, and even her ears turned red.

"You said that without considering my feelings?" Cedric felt helpless.

Although he said this, he hugged Kyle excitedly, "That's great, I knew you could do it!"

At the same time, Qiu, Fred and George also rushed over, and several people surrounded Kyle.

"Sorry to disturb you." Dumbledore had to remind: "The other two warriors are still waiting. You'd better let him pass quickly."

Everyone immediately separated to make way for Kyle.

At the guest of honor seat, Chris looked at him with a smile, pointed in the direction of the side door, and asked him to hurry over.

Next to him, Karkaroff couldn't help laughing after hearing Kyle's name.

After the regulations for the Triwizard Tournament were finalized, he specifically investigated the situation of the students at Hogwarts.

The first of them was Kyle, who received the Order of Merlin Level 2.

But Karkaroff didn’t think it was a big deal.

A big man over three meters tall, coupled with the famous magical animal expert Silvanus Kettleburn, with these two people, even a Muggle can take care of the werewolf.

So in his opinion, Kyle's second-level medal was nothing more than a lucky boy and two generous wizards, plus Dumbledore's influence... nothing more.

What he was more concerned about was Kyle's age... He had just turned fifteen, and he almost passed the age line.

And Krum is already eighteen years old. For two students who have not yet graduated, the gap of three years is too big... What is the difference between this and pushing the championship into their arms.

Durmstrang wins!

At this moment, Dumbledore turned around.

"Albus." Karkaroff couldn't help laughing: "He must be the youngest member of Sir Merlin. Hogwarts is really full of talents."

"Igor, when it comes to talent, the most popular legendary seeker is in Durmstrang."

The two just looked at each other, and then both smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
