Chapter 472 469.Three Powers Tournament

  Dumbledore shook his hand, whispered a few words, no one below heard clearly.

  He seemed to be asking the stranger something. The stranger shook his head without a smile, and replied in a low voice.

  Dumbledore nodded and motioned for the man to sit in an empty seat to his right.

  The stranger sat down, shook his head, and shook his long gray hair from his face, then pulled a plate of sausages and held it up to his mutilated nose and smelled it.

He took a knife out of his pocket, poked it in from one end of a sausage, and ate it. His normal eye was staring at the sausage, but the blue eye was still turning around in the eye socket. Turn around and look at the auditorium and the classmates.

   "Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts class teacher," Dumbledore broke the silence happily, "Professor Moody."

Under normal circumstances, when the new teacher meets with everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome, but now except for Dumbledore and Hagrid, there is only Lynn below who applauds. The little buried next to him watched him applaud. I slapped Lynn Dumbledore and Hagrid a few times, and the applause echoed in the silent auditorium seemingly lonely, and they simply slapped them twice and then put their hands down.

  The others seemed to be stunned by Moody's weird appearance, just staring at him intently.

  Dumbledore cleared his throat and turned everyone's attention to himself again.

"In addition, starting this year, Hogwarts will offer a new compulsory course called the Wizarding Moral Education Course. In this course, the professor will teach you the development of the magic society and what you should be doing. Character, the relationship between wizards and Muggles, as well as the process of wizards’ thought progress, and so on. The professor of this course is an old acquaintance of some students. He was the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts in 1990. Professor Fox."

  Dumbledore introduced Fox to the little wizards below.

The applause this time was much louder than the previous Professor Moody’s. Although the students still don’t know what the so-called moral education class is about to learn, at least the upper grades are familiar with Fox, and the lower grades look at him. The clothes are neatly dressed and look like a handsome old man. The first impression is better than Moody's. I don't know where it is.

  Introducing the two new professors is only secondary. The real main Dumbledore is only now beginning to announce to all the students.

  "As before, I want to remind everyone that students cannot enter the forbidden forest on the other side of the venue, and in Hogsmeade Village, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."

   "I also regret to tell everyone that the Academy Cup Quidditch will not be held this year."

"what?"

  The saddest news is undoubtedly the skin monkeys in Gryffindor. Harry was so surprised that he turned to look at his Quidditch teammates Fred and George.

  They all opened their mouths and stared at Dumbledore silently, as if speechless in surprise.

  Dumbledore continued: “This is because a large-scale event will begin in October and will continue throughout the school year, occupying a lot of time and energy of the teachers, but I believe that you can all have a lot of fun from it.

  This year, Hogwarts will be very honored to host a very exciting event, which has not been held for more than a century.

  I am very happy to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts in October this year! "

   "Are you kidding me?" Fried opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief.

  Dumbledore smiled and looked at him: "Of course I am not joking about Mr. Weasley. The Triwizard Tournament was founded more than 700 years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.

  The three schools are: Hogwarts, Boothbatten, and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then three warriors compete in three magic projects.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years and the three schools take turns to host it. Everyone agrees that this is an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships. It was interrupted. "

  The students were not scared by Dumbledore’s “too many deaths and interruptions”. Instead, everyone’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

  Children of this age still have no idea of ​​death. The only thing they notice is the fun of the competition itself.

"Over the centuries, people have tried several times to restore the championship," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them were successful. However, the Department of International Magic Cooperation and Magic Sports of the Ministry of Magic believes that we should try again. The time is ripe. We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that every warrior will not endanger his life.

However, this time the Triwizard Tournament has some minor changes compared to a few centuries ago. Not only are three European schools participating in this competition, but also the Magic Academy in the Americas, Ifamuni also applied. Participate in this event. "

"In October, the principals of Boothbatten, Durmstrang and Ifamoni will lead their carefully selected competitors to come, and the ceremony of selecting the warriors will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will decide which students are the most Eligible to participate in the competition for the top three cups, to win honors for their school, and individuals can also receive a thousand gallons of bonus."

  Suddenly, the students' breathing became heavy.

  They all know the concept of a thousand gallon bonus~lightnovelpub.net~ This money is enough to rent a shop in Diagon Alley for three years!

  And it’s not just a question of money. Just being able to represent Hogwarts in this event is already a great honor, which can greatly satisfy the vanity of all the little wizards.

  But soon Dumbledore poured cold water on most people again.

"I know that you are all eager to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts. However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agreed that there should be an age limit for this year's competitors. Only those who are over seventeen years old, that is to say. Only students over the age of seventeen are allowed to sign up for consideration."

  Only students who are six years old and above can reach the standard of seventeen years old, but not everyone in the sixth grade meets this standard.

  For example, the Weasley brothers, although they are in the sixth grade, they will not be able to reach 17 years old until April next year, and they still cannot meet the registration requirements.

  In other words, 80% of the little wizards at Hogwarts are not even eligible to sign up.

  　It feels so comfortable to burst out! ! ! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
