NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 93 The Triwizard Tournament
Countless ornately decorated carriages driven by Pegasus slowly drove towards Hogwarts from high in the sky. They passed through the sculptures at the castle gate, and some passed through the ancient clock that kept ringing. , slowly falling to the feet of Hogwarts.
The students who had just entered the castle at Hogwarts all hurriedly ran out to join in the fun. People crowded together on the corridor and looked along the line of sight. From the lake connected to the sea, the ordinary boat suddenly surged. After leaping up, the tall, strong and gorgeously decorated luxury ship emerged from the bottom of the lake, causing a turbulent wave.
"Wow!"
"That's the logo of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
"let me see!"
Fred put his hands on Qiu Zhang's head from behind, pushing her down and leaning forward to look at the railing.
"Fred!"
Qiu Zhang was very dissatisfied. He rubbed his head and pushed Fred aside, then reached out and slapped him on the head.
"Qiu, don't be so violent!"
George came up from behind and grabbed Qiu Zhang's moving arms to stop her "violent" behavior.
Qiu Zhang irritably beat each other with his other hand, turned around and squeezed through the crowd to leave.
"Take a good look."
……
Qiu Zhang struggled to squeeze out of the crowd that kept going out to join in the fun. Finally, the air he breathed was much clearer. When he looked back, he saw that Cedric had come out of the crowd at some point. The two of them were silent and smiled in unison.
He and Cedric quickly walked into the foyer, isolating the strong wind outside from the door. The warm fire in the house illuminated the entire room. There were scattered small lamps hanging on the walls, which seemed to have a warm and soft yellow light. faint.
The auditorium was as splendid as ever, with additional decorations added for the banquet to welcome new students. Thousands of candles floated above the table, reflecting the sparkle of the gold plates and cutlery. Four long college tables were dotted with students from different grades, where the students whispered and talked about various topics.
There was a long table on the high platform, where all the professors of Hogwarts were sitting. Everyone was whispering to each other and talking in low voices about the big events that were about to happen.
After returning to the Ravenclaw seats, it didn't take long for the students who were joining in the fun outside to come back quickly when dinner time came, and the auditorium was suddenly filled with people.
This year's sorting ceremony and even the dinner were carried out very quickly and even in a hurry, as if there was something important that needed to be resolved together tonight.
Then students from the other two schools entered the auditorium to perform.
The first people to enter the auditorium door were the girls from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They were graceful and graceful, and they danced gracefully. They slowly moved forward along the aisle in the middle of the auditorium, and everything they touched seemed to be shrouded in shadow. The fragrance of nothing…
The C seat in the middle of the girls' room is reserved for their principal, Mrs. Olim Maxim. Her height, which cannot be ignored, is almost twice that of an adult man. She walked slowly and quickly walked to the teacher's seat.
Next up were the tall and muscular boys from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They were tall and powerful and walked slowly in the center of the auditorium with heavy and powerful steps. The principal of their school looked very proud. Come to the familiar place to hug and reminisce with Professor Dumbledore.
After all three schools have arrived, Professor Dumbledore will also formally announce an important announcement.
"Okay, I'm sorry that I have to inform everyone of something regrettable. This year's Quidditch Academy Cup has been cancelled!"
As soon as Professor Dumbledore finished speaking, the originally quiet auditorium suddenly became noisy and lively, and most of the voices that overflowed were voices expressing dissatisfaction and anger.
Even Qiu Zhang, who had always been calm, couldn't help but frown to express that something was obviously wrong.
Fortunately, Wood graduated, otherwise what would happen if he knew the explosive news?
"Keep quiet! Thank you!"
Professor Dumbledore raised his wand and cast the Amplifying Spell. The sharp and harsh sound successfully reached everyone's ears, causing everyone to gradually become quiet. Professor Dumbledore was finally satisfied and continued to speak.
"This year we will be honored to host a very exciting event, which has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy to report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."
Professor Dumbledore's sudden news shocked and surprised everyone. Qiu Zhang subconsciously glanced at Cedric's happy and eager expression on the Hufflepuff table and the encouragement from his friends around him. She knew Cedric will definitely attend this event.
All the joy and joy around him seemed to have nothing to do with Qiu Zhang.
Qiu Zhang only knew that, looking at Cedric's happy and excited smile, and listening to the heated discussions of the classmates around him, he seemed to be isolated in some kind of space. He seemed unable to have any empathy. On the contrary, he felt even more lonely and lonely. sad……
……
After the dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory one after another, although along the way there were many students who were not old enough to discuss their dissatisfaction with the age limit for the Triwizard Tournament.
"I would say that Professor Dumbledore's setting must be reasonable. After all, it is mentioned in the book that people often died here in the previous Triwizard Tournament... To be honest, I don't even know about this competition so far. The purpose of the event?"
Lillian adjusted her glasses on her face and leaned on the sofa, but she was sitting upright. She was also holding a book about previous magical sports events in her hand. It seemed that she had just been studying it.
"Who knows? But Luke, I think you are quite strong. If you go and vote, maybe you can be selected?"
Marietta chatted casually, then moved her eyes to Luke's strong muscles, squeezed his arm, and smiled jokingly.
"I don't want it. You are already 17. I think you can give it a try, but the chance of someone choosing you is very small..."
Luke raised his eyebrows and watched Marietta look her up and down before coming up with a pertinent and unemotional answer. Marietta immediately gave her a confused look.
"Okay, you can all do it, I'm the only one who's not over 17!"
Seeing the heated discussion among several people, Qiu Zhang couldn't help laughing and teasing, and immediately received pity on his head from everyone.
"It's okay, it's okay, our little Qiu Zhang will grow longer..."
But it was obvious that the smiles and teasing in their eyes gave them away.
hateful……
It seems that we still have to find a way to prevent Cedric from participating in the competition.
