The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v4 Chapter 64: Composition of the jury

Remember [New] in a second! Percy, who had returned to Hogwarts on Mr. Crouch's behalf, looked extremely excited, as evidenced by his glowing red ears. At the moment, Percy, homecoming, is trying to join in any conversation at the staff table.

As Percy's teacher, the deans except Snape were also willing to give him face, and chatted with him very happily. For them, it is also a good thing that the students they know are reused by the Ministry of Magic just after graduation.

Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor College is the happiest one. Percy was a student at her house, and today he returned to Hogwarts as a representative of the Ministry of Magic, making her speak two points higher with delight.

"This year's opening ceremony seems to be a little earlier than the history of the competition?"

"That's right," Percy would go on and on as soon as he opened the conversation, in order to show his status in the Ministry of Magic, "We originally planned to follow the historical arrangement of the Triwizard Tournament and set the opening ceremony at It's Halloween, but this year's game is slightly different from previous years, overall—"

Percy suddenly closed his mouth, because he noticed that Mrs. Maxim and Professor Karkaroff next to him were still chatting on the surface, but they had actually turned their attention to himself.

Although Percy likes to show off what he knows, he is not a stupid person. On the contrary, he is very smart. A fool is not qualified for the duties of prefect and student council president. Percy had been tender before, but that was only due to lack of practical experience. The few months he worked in the Ministry of Magic after graduation had tempered him, allowing Percy, the "student head", to shed his immaturity and become a qualified bureaucrat of the Ministry of Magic.

Want to get information from him? wishful thinking!

"Speaking of which, it turns out that this is the perspective from the teaching bench." He changed the subject abruptly, and the other professors were also happy, and they all made fun of Percy.

"Actually, we can see your little actions clearly from above..." Professor McGonagall leaned over and told Percy about her discovery.

After the first dishes were gone, the desserts came to the table.

A plate of danishes happened to appear in front of Tom, so he unceremoniously took two and put them on his plate.

Danish pastry is a kind of pastry bread, which is a local specialty dessert in Denmark. The crispy and crispy layers of pastry are wrapped with various fresh jams. When you bite down, the pastry is scattered in your mouth. Fresh fruit The made jam is blasted together with the meringue, the taste is sweet and not greasy, which makes people have endless aftertaste

Hermione cut a small piece of princess cake, which is a very popular national dessert in Sweden. The outside is a layer of almond icing, the inside is thick whipped cream, and the innermost layer is jam. Hermione is fascinated by the melt-in-your-mouth taste.

As for desserts such as crepes, cinnamon rolls, and macarons, the list goes on and on. If it wasn't too full before, Tom would have to try everything.

There is no permanent feast at Hogwarts. No matter how reluctant the little wizards are, the desserts will eventually disappear from the golden plate.

When everything was clean and tidy again, Dumbledore stood up, and the Great Hall fell silent, filled with a strange mood: a combination of excitement and nervousness. Everyone is excited for what's going to happen next, but everyone is also a little nervous for no reason.

"Students, with the arrival of all the guests, the Triwizard Tournament will also begin," Dumbledore smiled, looking at the expectant faces in the audience, "I remember I once said that the warriors We will be selected by an absolutely impartial judge...so, bring the boxes in first."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Filch emerged from the corner, holding an old wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand. He carefully placed the wooden box on the table in front of Dumbledore, then quickly stepped back into the corner.

"Before revealing the mystery, I need to explain this year's event program to you, and introduce two guests from the Ministry of Magic—of course, I think it is unlikely that you don't know them. This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Head of the Department of Sports and Sports at the Ministry of Magic."

There was a burst of applause in the auditorium. As a hitter, Ludo Bagman was very popular among the students, so he was naturally welcomed by everyone.

After introducing Bagman, Dumbledore pointed to Percy, "This one must be more familiar to everyone, he is the assistant to the director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, the former head of the Hogwarts Boys' Union, Percy Weiss Lai!"

Percy's applause was louder than Bagman's. Bagman is indeed a great hitter, but he was active more than ten years ago, when most of the little wizards present were not born! Percy Weasley was different. A few months ago, he was still getting along with everyone at school day and night!

As a fresh graduate, Percy received a rather grand welcome at Hogwarts. Everyone's attitude towards him is much warmer than when he was in school.

"Over the past few months, the employees of the Ministry of Magic have worked tirelessly to organize the Triwizard Tournament. Finally, after deliberation, we have decided that Mr. Bagman will represent the Ministry of Magic, with me, Maxi Ms. Mu, Professor Karkaroff, and three representatives from different schools formed a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors," Dumbledore showed a mischievous smile ~lightnovelpub.net~ In order to ensure fairness , we will not reveal the names of the three representatives until now. "

Hearing this, the students showed curiosity, and they all wanted to know who these three people were. Unlike the students, Percy beside Dumbledore was concerned with another issue. He frowned, feeling a little strange: The representative of the Ministry of Magic, after all, should be Mr. Crouch, right? He did so much more work than Ludo Bagman, why did the person representing the Ministry of Magic become Bagman's fishing maniac?

Percy's hunch was right. People in the Ministry of Magic are not blind. At first they unanimously recommended Crouch to be the referee, but Crouch firmly refused. Now he is focused on retiring and doesn't want to get involved in the Triwizard Tournament at all. As a last resort, everyone let Bagman take up the post.

Dumbledore took out an envelope from his arms, he opened the envelope, and inside was a piece of parchment, and he read the name on the parchment.

"Durmstrang's representative is - Issa May! Beauxbatons' representative is - Barry Cloud! Hogwarts' representative is..." Dumbledore paused for two seconds, waiting for everyone to be He whetted his appetite and said loudly, "Percy Weasley!"
