Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 889: Scoring and rioting
After Albert successfully subdued the fire dragon and got the golden egg, the first person to rush into the arena was not the dragon tamer, but a very flamboyantly dressed wizard who looked like a reporter , because there is a wizard with a camera next to him.
Albert saw a familiar figure behind the wizard. Mr. Mogg was standing at the entrance of the venue and waving at him.
"Please stand in front of the fire dragon and let me take a close-up of you."
The wizard grabbed Albert's hand and greeted the photographer next to him, "Take a group photo of us first."
Albert withdrew his hand in disgust, barely maintained a smile on his face, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I almost forgot." The wizard introduced himself, "My name is Mike Dabo, the general manager of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. Nice to meet you, Mr. Albert Anderson."
"Hello, Mr. Dabo."
When Albert saw Mogg, he vaguely guessed who the flamboyantly dressed wizard in front of him was.
"If you want me to cooperate with you in taking pictures, let the dragon trainer stun the dragon first. I don't want to face a dangerous fire dragon with my back."
"You're right, it's always right to be cautious." Dabo put his arm around Albert's shoulder and said very familiarly, "I've discussed it with the dragon trainers just now."
Albert felt uncomfortable all over. He used Dabo's arm as an excuse to greet Mogg. That guy was not as strong as Albert.
"Well, as I said, you won't suffer." After greeting Albert, Mogg smiled and said to Mike Dabo: "You can't cut corners on your advertising expenses."
"Naturally not." Mike Dabo said happily.
"Time is limited, we'd better finish taking pictures as soon as possible, and don't cause trouble for others."
"You're right." Mike Dabo greeted the dragon trainers, and then led Albert to take pictures.
Observing the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon up close, Albert feels that this guy is more dangerous than expected. It is about 20 feet long and looks like a hill. If possible, Albert will never get close Standing in front of a fire dragon from a distance, let alone a living fire dragon.
However, there is a group of dragon trainers standing by beside him to ensure that the fire dragon will not suddenly wake up and kill him.
Albert stood in front of the fire dragon, with the fallen Swedish short-nosed dragon as the background, a male lion lying on his feet, and an eagle that was shrunk by his shrinking spell squatting on his shoulders, holding a golden egg in his hand, Show a confident smile towards the camera in front, and the picture is frozen in the camera.
"It's perfect, I think the girls will go crazy for you."
Mike Dabo said in an exaggerated tone, "I believe this is more effective than advertising in the World Cup."
In Mike Dabo's opinion, Albert is simply a living legend, and he is handsome enough. He has decided to hang the photos he just took in the Fengya wizard clothing store.
After taking a few photos in a row, Albert took the golden egg and followed them to the outside of the venue, not to cause any trouble for the dragon trainers.
Of course, Mike Dabo also gave the dragon trainers some benefits, allowing them to buy custom-made fire-resistant clothes at a relatively low price at the Fengya wizard clothing store.
The dragon trainers naturally have no objections, anyway, it's only a few minutes, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon has been subdued by Albert.
The referees in the stands didn't care even more. They were gathering together and discussing Albert's performance just now.
"You did a great job. I think Poppy must be very pleased that you don't need to use a medical tent." Professor McGonagall walked towards Albert, but now there was an unconcealable expression on his serious face. Smile, "Go, your friends must be waiting."
Albert looked past Professor McGonagall and saw Isobel and Katrina coming towards this side.
"Handsome."
Isobel walked quickly in front of Albert, and hugged him with open arms.
The dragon egg slipped from Albert's fingertips and fell to the ground. He put his arms around Isobel and kissed her lips.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Fred, George and Lee Jordan who hurried over whistled, and the other girls giggled unnaturally.
The cameraman next to Mike Dabo wanted to take a picture of this scene, but Mogg raised his hand to stop him. He shook his head at Mike Dabo, signaling him not to do that, with Albert's character Well, if Mike Dabo dared to take his private photos indiscriminately as a collaborator, the two sides would have nothing to talk about, and the fragile cooperative relationship would definitely collapse.
Did you really think Albert was just a kid?
Look at the unlucky Rita Skeeter, why didn't even she dare to make trouble with Albert's news, she is a woman who has given the British Ministry of Magic a headache.
I don't know how long it took before the two separated again. Isobel's face flushed, and she whispered, "Don't do such risky things in the future. You really scared me just now."
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about." Albert comforted softly.
"Of course I have confidence in you, but I'm still worried." Isobel understands Albert's character very well, and also knows that Albert attaches great importance to protecting himself, but having confidence and not worrying are two different things.
"Sure enough, you are the best one."
"You easily subdued a fire dragon by yourself, you probably don't know it, the girls in the stands are crazy about you."
"I dare say this can be talked about for years."
After Albert and Isobel separated, Fred, George and Lee Jordan stepped forward to greet him, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm, and handed back the golden egg that fell to the ground. he.
"Okay, look, I'm almost blushing from your compliments." Albert joked with a smile.
"I think they should give you a grade, and I dare say they will definitely give you a perfect score."
Sanna, Angelina, and Alia also came over. If Isobel wasn't here, they would definitely go up and give Albert a sweet kiss.
"Let's go back to the stands!"
Albert took the golden egg from George and led Isobel towards the stands, leaving behind a large group of envious girls.
Katrina stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving, and followed them towards the stands.
Albert subdued the dragon, and it didn't take much time for the dragon tamer to get it away.
The referees have also discussed the results. When Albert went to the stands, the scoring had already begun.
The first referee to score the warriors was Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. She raised her wand, sprayed a silver ribbon from the tip of the wand, and twisted it in mid-air to form a big "10".
Mrs. Maxim had already known Albert's strength for a long time, and she was lucky at first, but after seeing Albert subdue a fire dragon lightly within a few minutes, she chose to give up the unnecessary struggle and lie down. It was even, and Albert was given a full score.
No way, last time Guy's series of tricks at the Potions Tournament of the Magic School cast a cloud over Beauxbaton, and the reputation of Beauxbaton School suddenly deteriorated a lot.
So, Madam Maxim decided to be more aggressive, at least no one would say that Beauxbaton had issues with fairness in the competition.
As for Guy's matter, that is a personal matter, and the school has no knowledge of it.
Madam Maxim didn't know about this?
Of course not, but as long as you find a good excuse to save everyone's face, it will be fine.
Whether Crouch, Dumbledore, or Bagman gave Albert ten points.
Then, only Karkaroff remained ungraded.
Under the watchful eyes of several referees, he gave Albert 1 point.
Yes, 1 point.
As for the reason, Karkaroff has already thought about it.
Albert's fire dragon suit obviously violated the fairness of the game and was very unfair to other warriors.
After the big "1" appeared, the atmosphere of the venue couldn't help but stagnate, and even the surrounding referees looked at Karkaroff with weird eyes.
Looking at the "1", Bagman's face immediately collapsed, and he opened his mouth. There was a lot of cursing: words like shit, shameless, shameless, etc. resounded through the auditorium.
Just as Karkaroff was about to explain why he scored 1 point, he was interrupted by a few flying boots.
I don't know who took the lead in throwing things at the referee's seat. More and more students threw garbage, dung bombs, and various things at Karkaroff, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Even the Durmstrang students in the auditorium couldn't help covering their faces with their hands, not knowing what to say.
Karkaroff's behavior made them ashamed.
Even the students from other schools admire Albert single-handedly subduing a fire dragon, and the whole process only took a few minutes.
Even if Karkaroff was thrown onto the field, it would not be able to achieve this level.
"Oh, my God." Bagman glanced at Karkaroff very dissatisfied, and said eccentrically, "The audience is obviously **** off by the unfair rating."
Madam Maxim also looked at Karkaroff with a complicated expression. She actually guessed that Karkaroff would lower Albert's score.
In fact, this is the tacit understanding of everyone, to lower the scores of other warriors as much as possible.
If it's just an ordinary warrior, Karkaroff's doing so is actually not a big deal. After all, it’s okay to have a low score. At most, it will cause dissatisfaction among the Warriors supporters. Just find a reason to prevaricate it. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, what can they do?
However, Mr. Anderson is obviously an exception. Have you not noticed how popular he is?
Madame Maxim wondered if Karkaroff was out of his mind. He really couldn't understand the situation, so why make his reputation worse?
However, no one deliberately corrected him, and Karkaroff probably wouldn't listen anyway.
Actually, it wasn't that Karkaroff couldn't listen, but that he never thought that he would kick the steel plate, let alone that Albert had a large support group.
Fans are never considered a rational group, especially a group of girls, they will not listen to Karkaroff's reasons, especially when other referees give full marks, the girls will not allow their warriors to be punished Such unfair treatment. So, under someone's lead, they started throwing things in protest.
With the girls taking the lead in protesting, others joined in one after another. They don't care what the other referees are feeling. Anyway, Karkaroff's showmanship has annoyed most of the Hogwarts students. Burt deserves full marks.
In fact, Albert subdued the fire dragon as quickly as possible, and cleared the first item unscathed and should get full marks.
"Oh, my God, my God!" Bagman shouted in a loud voice, "Please keep calm, and let us hear the reason why Mr. Karkaroff rated it like this!"
Bagman's proposal is obviously malicious.
Karkaroff's face was particularly gloomy, and he said loudly: "The fire dragon suit worn by Mr. Albert obviously violates the fairness principle of the game and is very unfair to other warriors."
"Fair shit, you are the least qualified to say that."
I don't know who yelled, and I saw a curse flying towards the referee's seat.
Everyone couldn't help but hesitate, and raised their wands one after another, throwing curses at Karkaroff on the referee's bench.
This guy really disgusts them.
Bagman was taken aback by the crazy behavior of the students. If he was hit by such a large number of curses, he would probably be carried directly to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness.
Fortunately, Dumbledore waved his wand in time and deployed defensive magic to protect the referee's seat, otherwise the referee's seat would probably be blown away by this wave of curses.
The scene of a large number of curses exploding outside the barrier is really spectacular, even Dumbledore's barrier exploded a lot of cracks.
If there is another wave, it is estimated that it will really be unbearable.
"Well, even the Quidditch World Cup didn't have such a commotion, how should we clean up the mess now?" Bagman glanced at Karkaroff, who was livid, and turned towards Dumbledore. Standing hands expresses that he is powerless.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Dumbledore roared angrily. He didn't expect the situation to get out of control~IndoMTL.com~ Hogwarts students not only threw things at the referee's bench, they even threw curses directly at the end. Hundreds of people did that.
The main reason is that there are too many supporters of Albert. After Fred, George and Lee Jordan secretly took the lead in throwing magic at Karkaroff, the girls were also led to boo and vent their dissatisfaction. By the way, I brought along other people who were dissatisfied with Karkaroff.
After all, in the past, the Slytherin Quidditch team used all means to win the game, which was enough to make people uncomfortable. Now, in the game between schools, there are still people who dare to do this blatantly, and even find such a Excuse, is this treating them as fools?
However, Dumbledore's yelling was not effective, and the second wave of curses followed, blowing up the referee's seat.
As for the other referees, they were taken away by Dumbledore using apparition.
"Did that scene just now be filmed?"
Rita Skeeter trembled with excitement, "I dare say this has never happened before. The referee of the Triwizard Tournament was questioned and resisted by all the students. This will definitely become the hottest topic." 12568 /9636061
