Chapter 137 Fire Goblet Ceremony
Soon, all the students were seated.
The faculty came in, and they filed over to the guest table and took their seats.The last ones were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim.
The Beauxbatons rose to their feet as soon as they saw their Headmaster appear.Several Hogwarts students couldn't help laughing.But Beauxbaton's students didn't look embarrassed at all, and they didn't sit down again until Lady Maxime sat down to Dumbledore's left.
Dumbledore remained standing, and the conversation in the auditorium gradually decreased, and finally fell silent.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests," said Dumbledore, looking at the foreign students with a smile. "It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and trust that you will find yourself comfortable and happy here."
A Beauxbatons girl still wrapped her head tightly in a scarf gave a sneer that was no doubt sarcastic.
Xie Lin looked at the girl who sneered, and frowned.
Eleanor, who had been staring closely at Schelling, couldn't help but be attracted by Schelling's gaze, and looked back at the direction of Schelling's gaze.
She turned her head and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Malfoy, you are not interested in her, are you? She seems very special!"
As far as Xie Lin could see, the girl had magical fluctuations that did not belong to humans—the fluctuations were very frequent, and gave people a feeling of sensitivity, impatience and change.
This is probably the number one beauty in the original novel, Fleur Delacour. Only Veela's blood can explain this special magic power fluctuation.
However, what made Xie Lin frown was actually another female student sitting next to Fu Rong.
When Xie Lin glanced at her, he almost thought he saw a sword!
The magic power on her body was like a sharp sword with a shimmering cold light, so sharp that Xie Lin could feel a slight tingling sensation in his eyeballs just by casually glancing at it.
She is not so much a wizard as she is a warrior!
Xie Lin still remembered seeing a similar description in the Silver Spear duel record given to him by Gulana's sister.Documents once recorded a duelist exuding sharpness all over his body, and all the spells he cast were extremely penetrating.For example, he once used the most common cutting curse to pierce through an iron armor curse, a steel shield behind the iron armor curse, and the steel armor on the person holding the steel shield.
The man holding the steel shield almost died on the spot. His chest seemed to have been sliced by a sharp knife, exposing even his heart.
What kind of cutting curse is this!This is obviously sword energy, okay?
The author who recorded this duel also specially named the talent of this unknown duelist - "Tiansheng Jianxin".
Xie Lin guessed that this is an extremely rare blood talent.
The bloodline talent he has seen is not rare, but only this bloodline talent is completely and purely born for fighting.
This is a born warrior!
Schelling couldn't help laughing, although there wasn't much in his eyes.
First Mad-Eye Moody, then Draco, now Eleanor, and this Sword Heart wizard—he didn't think the appearance of these people was all a coincidence.
There was a trace of coldness in his eyes, since that's the case, let him take a good look at what these ghosts and ghosts that suddenly appeared were planning.
"The Tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet," said Dumbledore. "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as they like at home!"
He sat down, and Karkaroff immediately moved forward to talk to him.
Schelling had never seen a Hogwarts dinner that could have such a sumptuous array of dishes in front of them, some of which were definitely foreign.
"What's that?" Goyle asked, pointing to what appeared to be a hodgepodge of seafood on a platter next to a chunk of steak and kidney pudding.
"French bouillabaisse." Draco said proudly, "my servants can make it. It tastes delicious, not bad."
Poliaco grabbed a big chicken leg in a very inconspicuous manner, started to eat and drink, and spilled a lot of soup on his robe, but he didn't take it seriously.
"Delicious! Delicious!" he said vaguely. "The food at Hogwarts is much better than ours. Durmstrang can't eat it."
At this moment, a voice said: "Excuse me, do you still eat this plate of fish soup?"
Schelling looked up sharply.
This is wrong!Doesn't this episode belong to Fleur and Ron?
Seeing the person coming, Xie Lin's expression was quite exciting - she is not Furong, definitely not.
Although Xie Lin in this life had never seen a real Veela, he clearly remembered that Furong's hair was beautiful bright silver.
Like Fu Rong, the girl in front of her took off the scarf wrapped around her head, revealing a head of eye-catching wine red hair.
It must be explained here that the word "redhead" in English was invented in the twelfth century. The meaning of redhead here actually describes orange like orange.The so-called children of the Weasley family all have red hair, but they are actually talking about orange hair color.
During that period, the word orange was always used to describe the fruit, and it was not until the end of the fifteenth century that it began to be commonly used to describe the color.
True natural red hair does not exist in the scientific world.It has been extinct since at least 1991, because red hair is a recessive gene, and it can be said to be extinct under the dilution of genes from generation to generation.
Although there are hair dyeing methods in the wizarding world, it is not common. Wizards prefer to maintain their natural hair color, as if it is a symbol of status.
The girl in front of her had wine red hair, just like the color of the Philosopher's Stone in Xie Lin's arms - in the wizarding world, there was only one family with this hair color!
One of the 12 families of the Holy Blood of France, the Moreau family.
The Monroe family is a well-known super noble in France, and its status is comparable to that of the Malfoy family in Great Britain.Coincidentally, the direct descendants of this family are also very thin, and have been passed down in a single line for centuries.
Schelling was no stranger to French pure-blood families, but when he saw the determination emanating from the girl in front of him, he was also a little dazed.
He had never heard of a precedent for the Monroe family to awaken the power of their bloodlines.Not to mention the rare blood talent of Born Sword Heart.
Daphne and Astoria thought that Xie Lin was fascinated by each other's beauty, so they snorted dissatisfiedly.
Eleanor laughed out loud, "Hey, Mr. Malfoy, it's not gentlemanly to be in a daze like this when a lady makes a request to you!"
When Xie Lin came back to his senses, he said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I was distracted for a while-we've finished this dish of miscellaneous fish soup, let me serve it for you!"
"Okay, thank you." The girl's voice was low and magnetic, which sounded very comfortable.
Sherin picked up the tray and followed her cautiously to her seat at the Ravenclaw table.
After the girl sat down, she showed a sweet smile, "Sir, thank you again for your hospitality. I am Katharina from the Monroe family. You can call me Katarina. I haven't asked your name yet?"
Xie Lin lowered his head slightly, and said gracefully: "I am Malfoy, Xie Lin Malfoy."
"Ah, you are Schelling!" Katharine seemed a little surprised, "Do you know that you also have many fans at our Beauxbatons, I didn't expect you to be so young! One of the purposes of my visit to Hogwarts is to meet you!"
In contrast to the enthusiasm shown by the girl, Xie Lin chose to reply calmly: "Thank you very much for your appreciation. I'm just a little lucky, and I still have a lot to learn. Well, I'll go back now. I hope you can enjoy this delicious meal happily."
When Xie Lin returned to his seat, Draco smiled and said to Xie Lin: "Look at your expression, don't you mean that you are interested in others?" He paused, and continued: "That girl is really extraordinary! I guess she is the heir of the Monroe family, and she is worthy of our Malfoy family!"
My brother, do you think I'm a stallion?
Xie Lin couldn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Draco, you may be thinking too much, I think the girls in Hogwarts are very good." After speaking, he also took a few glances in the direction of Daphne and Astoria.
Both girls smiled at him.
Eleanor interrupted at this moment, she said with a smile: "It seems, Mr. Malfoy, you are quite popular with girls!" She lowered her voice and said pointedly: "There are four long tables, each of which has so many plates of bouillabaisse, why did she choose the one in front of you?"
Xie Lin actually thought of this too, but he chose to stand on the sidelines and not speak out.
Everyone was eating and chatting, and before they knew it, the plates on the table were empty.
Dumbledore stood up and introduced the two distinguished guests who had come - Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation, and Ludovic Bagman, Director of Sports and Sports.There was sparse applause in the auditorium.
"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," continued Dumbledore. "Together with me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim, they will form a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors."
Dumbledore let Filch take the Goblet of Fire to the rostrum, and announced the rules of the Triwizard Tournament: three warriors, each representing a school, and the warriors are selected by the Goblet of Fire; three challenging events, each of which can be scored according to the completion of the project; the warrior with the highest cumulative score in the end will get the Goblet of Fire!
"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. The registration time is only 24 hours. Tomorrow night, which is Halloween night, the goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the hall, and all students who are willing to participate in the election can have access to it."
"In order to prevent underage students from being tempted, after the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. Anyone under the age of seventeen cannot cross this age line."
"Finally, I would like to remind every student who is going to participate in the campaign to pay attention that this competition is not a child's play, and don't participate rashly. Once the Warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must stick to the game to the end. throwing your name into the cup, in fact, forms a magical contract that must be kept. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. So please think twice and find out that you really want to participate in the game, Put the name in the glass again. Well, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night everyone."
"Age line!" Draco said, his eyes sparkling, and he turned to look at Sherin. "Sherin, you're going to sign up, aren't you?"
Xie Lin shrugged and spread his hands, "Who knows? The principal's age line may not be so easy to fool..."
The two brothers looked at each other, showing mutual tacit expressions at the same time.
