Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 465: Four strong competition
,!
As Professor Moody got up, there was a burst of applause in the auditorium, not warm enough, but loud.
Mad-Eye Moody, whose face can be described as "sinister", has easily won the fear of many people. His magic prosthetic eyes are constantly turning, and some timid girls don't even dare to look directly at him.
"Lockhart is under arrest. I thought that other professors would be hired, but Moody—" Sean whispered while applauding.
He and Moody also know each other. When Daisy was treating the blood curse and Momoran, the other party appeared in Uncle Sirius' old house.
Also, Moody was the first person Sean met who could smell his mastery of black arts just by "sense of smell".
"I sent half of the prisoners in Azkaban with my own hands, and those who have been using black magic always have a smell on them. Although it is not pure darkness like Momoran, I can always smell it."
"Ha——Albus said, this is my talent—anyway, it's quite convenient for catching dark wizards."
This is what Moody said to Sean back then, coupled with his hideous appearance, Sean's evaluation is: The Ministry of Magic should thank Moody for becoming an Auror instead of a Dark Wizard.
Daisy on the other side heard what Sean said, and said in a low voice: "It's actually quite normal, because Mr. Moody is out of work now. You know, the Ministry of Magic... I heard that Mr. Moody smashed up the Auror office, and then angrily scolded all the Ministry of Magic employees as 'dizzy idiots', while smashing things.
Sean smacked his lips in amazement: "It really looks like Mad-Eye Moody, but your father and Sirius seem to have resigned like this back then..."
Daisy stuck out her tongue: "To tell you the truth, theirs should not be called resignation, but Yuyu who fired the Ministry of Magic. However, my father and my godfather have nothing to do now, and Mr. Moody is the same. Although he is no longer an Auror in name and position, he will still arrest those dark wizards. I heard that he went to the United States for half a year. The number of local dark wizard activities has dropped by half. After hearing about it, my father and Sirius still want to go with him..."
"However, before they passed, Moody came back by himself - the aura masters of the Magical Congress of America didn't welcome him very much. I guess it was because of this that he accepted Professor Dumbledore's invitation to come to Hogwarts to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Probably..."
Sean looked up at Moody, who was no different from the Mad-Eye he remembered. However, possibly influenced by the original work, Sean subconsciously observed the opponent's movements.
Since the beginning of the dinner, no metal bottle has been taken out. It seems that Barty is not pretending to drink compound decoction...
Sean's conjecture is of course somewhat nonsensical, but he is indeed more likely to have such thoughts.
At this time, in a dark dungeon, a man who was firmly bound by iron chains and with disheveled hair raised his head. His face was pale, and his dark circles stood out. If you look more closely, you can find that there are various scars and pinholes on his body, obviously suffering from inhuman torture.
However, this did not break his fanaticism at all, even if his life was already worse than death.
"Master...I will never, never, betray you..." Little Barty's eyes were still crazy and bright, and he murmured alone.
It seems to be speaking to the master who cannot hear his voice, it seems to be reminding the wizards who have been tormenting him for those days, and it seems to be reminding himself so that he can persevere.
Little Barty's false master, Voldemort, has gone now, but his real master, Sean Wallop, is listening to Mr. Headmaster's words in the auditorium of Hogwarts at this time.
"...Administrator Filch told me that this is already the 528th request - freshmen and old students, don't cast spells in the corridors. Of course, not only this, but also many other rules. Mr. Filch will paste it on the bulletin board again tomorrow."
A few old fritters secretly lowered their heads and snickered a few times, and looked at each other a few times, such as the Wesley twins, or the Gryffindor trio of Harry, Neville, and Ron.
Of course, Ravenclaw's professional violator and new prefect is listening to the headmaster's instructions seriously.
"That's about it for the welcome speech, and the new rules will be pasted on the bulletin board tomorrow—" Dumbledore paused, and he pushed his glasses, "Of course, there is one more thing to announce to everyone."
There was a low noise in the auditorium, and the students looked excited. They had already guessed what Dumbledore was going to say.
"I think most people should have already guessed it, but please allow me to tell you that even if the regulations of the Ministry of Magic are relaxed now, Quidditch is still not allowed."
"Oh! No!" Sean heard Harry whine in pain.
Dumbledore was smiling, with a naughty sense of a successful prank.
"That's because a huge event starts in October and continues throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and energy - but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun doing it. I'm very pleased to announce that this year at Hogwarts we will be honored to host a very exciting event over the next few months."
"I believe everyone has heard about it, or that the little wizard who watched the game from the stands has now grown to the age where he can compete—"
"Yes, the Four-wizard Tournament is about to be held at Hogwarts, and the Goblet of Fire will officially start burning."
Even though it was expected, when Dumbledore officially announced the news, there was still a noise of excitement in the auditorium, but Dumbledore didn't stop it, and only raised a hand to signal silence after letting everyone discuss happily for a while.
"I can understand everyone's excitement. However, there are more and more fresh blood joining Hogwarts. Some of you still don't know what is going on in this tournament, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for explaining it here. I will allow their minds to wander for a while."
Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. These three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magical events. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years. There are too many people, and the Triwizard Tournament will be interrupted."
Too many deaths——This cold sentence stunned many freshmen, and even many old students who didn't know much about the history of the Goblet of Fire covered their mouths in horror.
Students dying while in school doesn't sound very safe.
However, more people still have excitement and anticipation on their faces.
"Over the centuries, people have tried several times to revive the Tournament," continued Dumbledore, "but none of them were successful. This situation has changed in this century, when our 'old rival' (Dumbledore raised his hand in a helpless gesture) the Nurmengard School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was officially established, and after a series of persuasion, research, and preparations, the Goblet of Fire was rekindled. Of course, the Triwizard Tournament became a Four-wizard Tournament. Three."
"What is even more gratifying is that since the restart of the Final Four, there has been no student death in the event. The Ministry of Magic of various countries has also supported it from the beginning.
"In the last four-wizard tournament, Nurmengard held the Goblet of Fire. In October, they will bring the Goblet of Fire to Hogwarts. At the same time, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will also come to Hogwarts under the leadership of their headmaster. They will lead carefully selected competitors. The ceremony of selecting the warriors will be held on the eve of Halloween. The impartial referees selected by the four magic schools, the Ministry of Magic of the Four Kingdoms, and the International Federation of Wizards will decide which students are most qualified to participate in the competition Strong Cup, to win honors for your school, and you can also get a bonus of 3,000 Galleons personally——3,000 Galleons per person for the winning team.”
This huge number choked everyone, and then, the auditorium became more lively, with excited expressions on the faces of the students, whether it was the huge honor or the equally huge bonus, it was too attractive.
"Is it more expensive this time?" Fred and George became excited there. "We were only in the second grade when the Goblet of Fire was held last time. That time, the prize money was one thousand galleons for each of the winning team. This time it was actually doubled! It's tripled! My God, that's too generous!"
The two brothers' desire for Garen had turned into a blazing flame in their eyes.
Only Sean smiled. The original bonus of 3,000 Galleons has been tripled. The extra 6,000 Galleons may not sound like a huge amount, but it is not a small amount when a magic wand only costs 7 Galleons. The average wizarding family will never be able to afford such a huge amount of money, but...
Dumbledore continued: "I would like to thank the Wizarding Charity Association for its great sponsorship of this Final Four Tournament. The chairman of the association, who did not want to be named, wants me to tell you that he hopes that the students from the four schools can communicate and learn from each other in this competition. He is very much looking forward to this competition."
"Let us applaud this generous Mr. Anonymous." Dumbledore took the lead in applauding.
Without him taking the palm, the students also made enthusiastic voices, six thousand gold Galleons were enough to make everyone excited.
"Wizard Charity Association? I seem to have heard of..."
"Don't be stupid, of course you've heard of it, isn't there a lot of young wizards holding Dawn Project cards among the freshmen? And there are many people around us who have applied. The Dawn Project was launched by the Wizarding Charity Association."
"Dawn Project?! My God, is that their project? I was surprised when I heard it. Which association can provide so much money, and it's all interest-free student loans. Isn't this doing charity? ——It's really a charity association?"
"Yeah, I heard that the founder of this association is not doing any business, just to let some students from difficult families use the same brand-new teaching supplies as others, and hope to provide them with some jobs in the future."
"Merlin's beard, the founder is really Mr. Kang."
"Not only healthy, but also rich—everything he does is to make the future of the wizarding world better. Anyway, I have decided. Although I can only apply for the Dawn Project for two years, I will go to work for the Wizarding Charity Association after graduation, and I have to contribute."
"It's indeed a good place to go, but now I'm still very envious of the bonus of three thousand galleons. My God, that gentleman is too rich, right? It's free!"
"Yeah, I can only say that he is not only rich, but also very supportive of various school exchanges, he must be a very good person..."
The countless discussions, surprises, envy, and excitement of the students... all the voices are constantly ringing, and there is no sign of quieting down.
Without others, the shock brought by this money is too great. The two names of the Wizarding Charity Association and the Dawn Project have been deeply imprinted in the minds of all the students.
Hermione and Daisy secretly looked at Sean, and after noticing the boy's expected faint smile, they moved closer, and Hermione said in a very low voice: "Sean, you didn't tell us! My God, you donated a whole six thousand galleons?!"
Little Baihua blinked wildly at Sean: "I know you are rich but I didn't know you were so rich~IndoMTL.com~ You can support me in the future, Mr. Wallop!"
"Don't make trouble——" Sean laughed happily, "I have to correct you, it's not me who donated it, but my dad who donated six thousand galleons. Although the cash flow has shrunk considerably, he is happy."
In fact, this idea was indeed proposed by Sean's father. The respected Mr. Wallop made this decision immediately after hearing the news about the Goblet of Fire.
The Wizarding Benevolent Association has been using various resources to gather funds, partly for expenses, and partly for shorting Gringotts in the future and directly cashing out.
Of course, Mr. Wallop himself also invested a lot of wealth. When the Wizards Charity Association was not strong enough, the association's funds still needed Mr. Wallep to buy gold with pounds, and then exchange the gold for Galleons.
However, for the owner of the private hospital, this is to pave the way for his son. This is all that an ordinary father can do for a wizard's child. He thinks the money is very worthwhile.
It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Wallop even wanted to use his cash flow to directly buy a seat on the Hogwarts school board... After all, his youngest daughter will also be enrolled in two years...
