Chapter 249: On the importance of the Triwizard Tournament

Raven listened quietly to Barty Crouch's story.

Pick out all the [Earl Gray Tea-Pound Cake] from the snack plate used by Dumbledore to entertain guests,

He liked this very much,

The aroma of bergamot and citrus in Earl Gray black tea not only adds an extra touch of flavor to the black tea, but also well neutralizes the unavoidable bitter taste of black tea.

The maple syrup added to the pound cake not only brings a sweet taste to the cake, but also contains an extra hint of apple's slight acidity, adding a fruity aroma.

For drinks, Raven chose mocha.

After the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen turn the chocolate into chocolate sauce, half of it is used to make coffee.

The other half is spread evenly on the wall of the coffee cup, giving drinkers a different level of experience.

Barty Crouch, who was originally talking very enthusiastically, smacked his lips after seeing Raven eating so deliciously.

Picked up a piece of cream cake and started eating it.

"In short, Madam Maxime feels that the Triwizard Tournament is harmful to them and is purely used as a foil."

Barty Crouch said,

Dumbledore looked at Raven,

Raven withdrew her hands from the burning fireplace,

Said,

"I studied at Beauxbatons in my first grade. If there aren't any great new students coming out later, then Beauxbatons' generation is indeed a bit inexperienced."

This is not what Raven said, this is what Nico Flamel said,

In fact, this has something to do with Nico Flamel.

Thanks to this legendary alchemist, the French wizarding world has gathered nearly 70% of the alchemists from all countries in the world.

Because only here can you get the most high-end and profound alchemical knowledge,

If you perform very well, you may even have the opportunity to be mentored by Nico Flamel himself.

This is why, from centuries ago, alchemists liked to settle in France.

Since then, the inheritance problem can simply be solved on this land, so the alchemists will collect seedlings in advance, take them away, and receive master-disciple inheritance education.

This resulted in Beauxbatons falling behind in terms of innate resources. This does not refer to quality, but quantity.

Beauxbatons still has top-level talented young wizards, but they are all not good at alchemy.

And a large number of young wizards who can delve into alchemy will not learn in Beauxbatons.

These reasons were summarized by Beauxbatons in the previous Triwizard Tournaments.

This was Madame Maxime's doubts.

Next year, among all the young wizards studying at Beauxbatons, the only one who is likely to achieve good results is

It was Fleur Delacour, the long-legged Veela whom Raven had chosen as her future sister-in-law.

But even Furong's talent is not as good as the top geniuses from other schools, and it is still lacking in some places.

Fleur's shortcoming is that because of her mixed-race Veela identity, she is more sensitive and emotional in character.

This also makes it easy for her to make mistakes when faced with emergencies.

But looking at the other two schools, Hogwarts has the famous Weasley family, and Durmstrang has the future star Krum.

On the spot, they are all decisive and powerful. The Triwizard Tournament is all about on-the-spot performance.

Therefore, compared to the capable people from both schools, Furong is at a bit of a disadvantage.

Of course, this is not the most important thing,

The most important thing is that there is Raven here at Hogwarts.

Even if Raven is the school director, he doesn't let other students specifically support his statement, right?

Not to mention that Raven transferred to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons. Because of this incident, Madame Maxime rarely lost her temper and had a big quarrel with Dumbledore.

The above views were all interpreted by Raven from the words of Barty Crouch.

But Raven was unwilling to accept it.

You know, the opportunity for Bill and Fleur Delacour to fall in love was the Triwizard Tournament.

If Madame Maxime chooses to refuse to participate in the Triwizard Tournament because of Raven, and next year's Triwizard Tournament is cancelled,

Then Raven's two little nieces and a little nephew would disappear because of this accident.

So after enjoying the pound cake and mocha, Raven made her own suggestions to dispel Madam Maxime's doubts,

That is [limiting the minimum age of the competition to 17 years old],

The draw for the Triwizard Tournament will take place after Halloween next year.

As a result, Raven and his two brothers will not be able to become warriors and represent Hogwarts due to lack of months.

Of course, how could the two of you here not think of such a simple and straightforward idea?

It's just that we need to take Raven's thoughts into consideration,

It would be best to let Raven make her own decision, so that they don't have to be the villain.

"The above is the conversation that took place in Dumbledore's office last night."

Raven said,

He was sharing the good news with a few buddies.

Since it was dinner time, Rolf Scamander, who had many freckles on his face, slightly curly hair, and warm and lively eyes, was also there.

"It's great. I really want to see this grand game with my own eyes." Luo Fe sighed, he was very envious.

"Unfortunately it's in November next year and we'll be back in Ilvermorny in July."

Jack gave him an idea,

"You can come here with Mr. Newt Scamander. The last Triwizard Tournament was suspended for two centuries because of cockatrices,"

"Next year's competition, if there is a competition about magical animals, then Principal Dumbledore will definitely invite Mr. New York Scamander as a consultant,"

"If Mr. Newt Scamander is willing to take you, it can be regarded as you being officially invited to Hogwarts, and Ilvermorny will definitely give you a holiday."

"And I know that there are only three official rounds of the Triwizard Tournament, and each round takes one day. Counting the weekends, it won't delay your studies!"

After hearing Jack’s analysis,

Rolf's eyes lit up like a salamander.

"Good idea! But I don't know if grandpa will bring me here. If dad thinks it will delay my study, he will definitely not let grandpa take me."

Luofu said as if he was answering or talking to himself,

"But dad is a professor at the school. I can't hide it from him... What should I do... Yes! I can write to grandma, and grandma will definitely speak for me."

Rove was talking about Tina Goldstein, who, of course, had been known as Tina Scamander for more than half a century.

[It seems that the straightforward and calm female Auror has reached old age and will inevitably spoil her grandson. 】

Raven thought, and then he suddenly said,

"Rolph, do you know Luna Lovegood of Ravenclaw?"

Luo Fu, who was thinking about how to write a letter to his grandma, was stunned for a moment, and then affirmed,

"Of course I know, Luna and I are already friends."

His eyes lit up, and as if to support his statement, he continued,

"Luna heard about my grandfather's identity and asked me about the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax. She also said that there are many harassing flies around me, but I have never heard of these two magical animals."

"I asked Grandpa, but he didn't do it either, but that doesn't stop me and Luna from becoming friends. Raven, do you know what this is?"

Faced with Rove's question, Raven smiled and replied,

"I don't know much about the Snorlax, but I do know a little bit about the Harassing Flies. You can write to your Grandma Queenie. She may know more."

"!!!Really? Then I'm going to write a letter to Grandma Queenie."

Seeing that the matter that troubled him had been answered, Luofu no longer wanted to continue eating slowly. He wrapped two pieces of pie in his robe and hurried back.

Puppy looked at Raven teasingly and said, "You think highly of these two?"

Misty was already shuffling her tarot cards for a fortune telling.

"Yes, and I think Rolf's grandma will like Luna very much. Oh, by the way, how is Neville doing recently?"

Raven suddenly changed the topic abruptly,

Jack quietly pointed to a third-year Hufflepuff girl for Raven.

It was a girl with a rosy complexion and two golden braids.

Jack whispered,

"I heard that third-year Hannah Abbott is courting Neville."

Raven tilted her lips, Oh, Iron Hat King~

(Actually, Hannah Abbott is pretty good-looking)
