Beauxbatons?
Madame Maxime?
Glenn thought for a moment and already had a guess in his mind.
There are not many large-scale international magic events. Apart from the upcoming Quidditch World Cup, there is only the Triwizard Tournament, which will also be held in a year's time.
In order to make everything go smoothly for this grand event and to enhance the international reputation of the British Ministry of Magic, Fudge has obviously already started making arrangements.
Although he had already had a rift with Dumbledore over the Chamber of Secrets, it was unlikely that he would keep hiding it since it was related to Hogwarts.
Even though he hadn't mentioned it yet, considering that Lockhart had been placed at the top of the Ministry of Magic, it was naturally impossible for such a major matter to be hidden from Dumbledore, who had superb intelligence capabilities.
"Beauxbatons? What is that?" Harry, who had no knowledge, expressed doubts naturally.
"Beauxbatons, like Hogwarts, is also a magic school located in France." Qiu patiently explained to him, "Glenn and I have a friend who studies there."
When Morgana left Hogwarts, Harry was not yet 11 years old, was being bullied by the Dursleys, and didn't even know the existence of the wizarding world.
"Your friends?" Harry asked curiously, "So, you have also been to France?"
Glenn looked at him with a smile and explained: "We have never been to France. The reason why we know that friend is because she also attended Hogwarts for a year. Speaking of which, she and you A Gryffindor, too."
"I see." Harry nodded and asked again, "By the way, Sirius, you haven't said what news you are going to send to the headmaster of Beauxbatons."
"I'm afraid I can't tell you the specific news." Sirius shook his head and put on a proud smile, "However, there is a secret related to this matter that I can tell you."
Not only Harry, but also Qiu showed a bit of curiosity.
"As far as I know, there will be a big event happening in Hogwarts next year, no less than the Quidditch World Cup!" He said mysteriously, deliberately trying to show off.
"You should tell me what is going on!" Harry urged impatiently.
Sirius was pleased with Harry's reaction, it was exactly what he wanted, but unfortunately, he didn't see a similar expression on Glenn's face.
Not only was there no eagerness, there wasn't even the slightest bit of curiosity.
"Hey, Glenn, aren't you interested at all?" he couldn't help but ask.
Glenn shrugged and said nonchalantly: "If you want to say something, even if I'm not curious, wouldn't you still say the same thing?"
Sirius was choked and helpless for a while, and the sense of accomplishment brought by Harry also disappeared a lot.
"Okay..." He sighed, "The Ministry of Magic has decided to resume the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts after the World Cup next year!"
Glenn knew everything about the Triwizard Tournament, and Qiu wasn't too interested in such competitions. As for Harry...
"Excuse me...what is the Triwizard Tournament?"
Sirius:......
Looking at Padfoot with a frustrated look on his face, Glenn almost laughed out loud.
He had been working on it mysteriously for a long time, but when he finally announced the news, he got such a reaction, which was really embarrassing.
If it had been the Weasley twins, the effect would have been much better.
"The Triwizard Tournament is a competition between Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. It was founded about 700 years ago. Each school selects a warrior. , and then the three warriors will go through the test of three magic projects together, and finally determine a champion."
Sirius shook his head and explained to Harry with a helpless expression.
"The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. But later, there were too many deaths, and the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued."
"Death count? Are you serious?" Harry looked shocked again and asked in astonishment.
"Of course!"
Sirius perked up again.Harry's reaction helped him regain some sense of accomplishment.
"The casualties of the players are simply difficult to control. Almost every few games, someone will lose their life. Once, even the principals of three schools were injured!"
"If it's so dangerous, why do they want to resume this game?" Harry asked again?
"In the words of Dumbledore and those from the Ministry of Magic, it is to help young wizards from different countries establish friendship, or to promote international magical exchanges." Sirius replied nonchalantly, "But let me say , who can refuse such a thrilling competition?"
He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and said with emotion: "What a pity. If this competition had resumed more than ten years earlier, James and I would have definitely found a way to participate!"
Seeing his excited look, Glenn was speechless for a while and couldn't help coughing twice.
Only then did Sirius realize that he had committed the same old habit again, scratched his hair and tried to change the subject: "By the way, Glenn, I heard from Harry that you are number one in your grade every semester, plus Deng Bledo values you so much, maybe you will be the contestant in the Triwizard Tournament next year."
Although he had not witnessed Glenn's strength with his own eyes, he had heard about those glorious achievements from Dumbledore.
Escaped Patricia's killing curse head-on; killed the basilisk almost single-handedly; captured Peter on his own; and successfully cracked the seal of the sword fence ruins.
These, even for him, are almost impossible to achieve one by one.Although there may be some luck involved, it also needs to be supported by sufficient strength.
At this level, it is basically not difficult to win the Triwizard Tournament.
"Better not." Glenn rolled his eyes, "I don't want to wade into this muddy water. As you said, the mortality rate is so high, who knows what weird things they will come up with."
In fact, this was exactly what he had planned.According to Voldemort's arrangement, the Triwizard Tournament trophy will be replaced by a portkey, which will transport Harry directly to old Riddle's tomb to complete his resurrection plan.
This means that if you don't want to be transported together and sent away like Cedric, you can't touch the trophy with Harry or before him.
In other words, even if you participate, you can't win the championship.
In this way, there is no point in participating in this game.
And if nothing else, Dumbledore will still set an age limit.For Glenn, it's not impossible to break through, but it's not necessary.It's just right to use it as an excuse not to participate.
Hearing what Glenn said, Sirius couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Harry, who looked confused next to him.
