"I want to participate!" When Dumbledore had just announced, there were several shouts from the students in different parts of the auditorium.

Whether it is honors or bonuses, they strongly arouse the sensitive nerves of these adolescent girls and boys.

All the students gleamed with excitement at the thought of the possibility of such honor and wealth.

At each house table, someone could be seen watching Dumbledore frantically, or whispering excitedly to their neighbors.

At this point, Dumbledore spoke again.

"I know you're all eager to win the Triwizard trophy for Hogwarts, however, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic agree that there will be an age limit for this year's competitors, and only students over seventeen years old will be allowed to sign up. "

Dumbledore announced calmly.

Sure enough, Dumbledore's voice just fell.

An angry protest immediately filled the entire auditorium, and the little wizards under the age of seventeen shouted angrily. They were very dissatisfied with not being able to participate in such a wonderful event.

"This measure is necessary because the competition program is still very difficult and dangerous, and no matter how much precautions we take, it is simply impossible for students under the sixth and seventh grades to deal with it. I myself will ensure that none of them is not enough. Students of your age deceive our impartial referees to become warriors at Hogwarts, so if you are under seventeen, I beg you not to waste your time applying."

Dumbledore's loud voice drowned out the din of the students in the auditorium.

Dumbledore's eyes scanned the entire auditorium through his eyes, and the students who were touched by Dumbledore's eyes quickly quieted down.

It didn't take long for the entire auditorium to become quiet.

“A delegation from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive in October and will be with us for most of the school year. I know you will all behave when our foreign dignitaries stay here. Warm and friendly, and once a Hogwarts warrior is finally selected, you will support him or her wholeheartedly"

Dumbledore happily announced.

Due to Dumbledore's majesty, the students no longer dared to protest publicly, but they were still muttering dissatisfied in private.

Ethan, who was sitting on the professor's chair, frowned. He didn't understand that Dumbledore was still holding the Triwizard Tournament in such a tense environment.

"Okay! There are a few more things to announce next!" Dumbledore said briskly.

"We are delighted to welcome a new teacher this year. Professor Slughorn, a former colleague of mine, has agreed to resume his role as Potions teacher," announced Dumbledore. road.

Hearing Dumbledore introducing himself, Slughorn hurried to his feet so that the students could see him.

At this time, all the students looked at the professorship curiously, but they were not looking at Professor Slughorn, but Professor Snape.

Potions class had been taught by Snape for a long time, and all the students were very curious as to why Snape's position was topped by others.

The only happy faces at the scene were Harry and Ron.

They were happy to think that Dumbledore had finally seen through Snape's true face and had now dismissed Professor Snape.

It's not their fault, they have indeed been treated extremely cruelly by Professor Snape over the past few years.

They were even given a full semester of confinement by Snape the year before.

Therefore, Snape's dismissal was simply great news for them.

However, Dumbledore's next words quickly and completely shattered the joy of Harry and Ron.

"Meanwhile, Professor Snape," Dumbledore raised his voice over the discussion, "will be the teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts."

"Your Professor Lupin has other business to do, so he left Hogwarts and no longer teaches."

"No!" Harry groaned in the back of his throat.

Harry is very fond of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and the previous Professor Lupin taught them a lot of interesting magic.

Unexpectedly, Harry's favorite subject would now be occupied by Snape.

Harry could already predict his tragic future.

"Okay, there's something good about this," Harry reassured himself through gritted teeth, "Snape will be out in less than a year."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"That job was cursed, and no one could last more than a year—Quiell took his life in it, and I personally hope that another murder will happen—"

Harry said sternly.

"Harry! How can you say such a thing!" Hermione scolded sternly.

Snape stood up in his seat, glanced sullenly at the students who were sitting, and sat down.

Ethan always felt that something was different in Snape's body. After careful observation, Ethan finally found it.

Snape finally washed his head, and his head was no longer oily.

Ethan even spotted a faint smile at the corner of Snape's mouth.

Snape finally got his wish, and it has always been Snape's wish to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Snape even washed his hair and groomed himself in anticipation of the day he had been looking forward to.

"Of course, we are also facing another matter in this study." After a while of silence, Dumbledore spoke again.

"I think every one of you heard during the holidays that Voldemort is not dead and is even trying to restore it."

As soon as Dumbledore finished saying this, the noisy auditorium suddenly turned into a tense, heart-wrenching silence.

Harry looked at Malfoy, and now Malfoy's face has become very bad, and he is no longer surrounded by Crabbe and Goyle.

Crabbe and Goyle's fathers are already in the Ministry of Magic's prison because of Malfoy's father.

This made Crabbe and Goyle completely ignore Malfoy, and they were far away from Malfoy.

At this time, he was keeping his head down and silent. It seemed that his father was arrested, which had a great impact on the two children.

At this time at the Slytherin table, there was a large space around Malfoy.

Pureblood children are a bunch of smart guys. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Lucius Malfoy just did such a shocking thing, and the recent situation is really confusing.

The situation was unclear, so the children of these families chose not to have contact with Malfoy for the time being until the situation was confirmed.

So now, there is a lot of empty space around Draco Malfoy.

Only Pansy Parkinson, who has always been with Malfoy, is still sitting next to Malfoy, which has become Malfoy's only comfort now.

Looking at Malfoy's ugly expression, Ron, who had been very uneasy with Malfoy, felt a sigh of relief.

"He deserves it!" Ron whispered. "Who told him to be one by one?"

"Gosh, Ron! You shouldn't have said that!" Hermione whispered to Ron. "His father just helped the Ministry of Magic by exposing a whole bunch of Death Eaters!"

"Okay, okay! I just said it casually!" Ron had never dared to contradict Hermione, so he said quickly.
