Chapter 277 Selection
In the Hogwarts Great Hall, strange magical fluctuations flashed on the Goblet of Fire that was burning with blue and white flames.
After finishing the spell, the fake Moody put away his wand, took out a small piece of parchment from his pocket and threw it in.
After seeing the Goblet of Fire calmly devour the parchment, he leaned on his cane and quietly walked out.
"Is this Moody? What is he doing here... Could it be..."
Looking at Moody's leaving back, Dumbledore showed a look of doubt.
And Wright did not hide it anymore and directly revealed the truth:
"Moody has been controlled. The one who just appeared in front of you was a fake Moody."
"He has cast a Confounding Charm on the Goblet of Fire, which will cause Harry to be the only student in the fourth house."
"So, there will be four warriors in the competition!"
"The fake Moody works for Voldemort. If Delphi finds him..."
But Wright was obviously wrong. Dumbledore was not worried about Moody or the chosen warriors.
"It's okay, don't worry!"
"The danger lurking underwater is always more dangerous than the one floating on the surface."
"It would be even better for me if Delphi went to find Moody."
Wright didn't care much about Dumbledore's concerns, but changed the subject:
"'Spirit Bird' also has a real-time projection function. You can use this method to push it out."
"Also, Ludo will speak for you!"
After giving Dumbledore a heads-up, Wright said hello and went back to rest.
What he encountered today was too strange, and he needed to go back and think about it carefully.
Why didn't I save Cedric in the first timeline?
Normally it shouldn't be like this, or is there some unexpected or unspeakable reason?
……
The next day, Saturday morning, Wright had a good sleep.
After a quick wash in the bathroom, he staggered toward the auditorium.
Soon after he sat down and started eating, many underage wizards gathered around the Goblet of Fire one after another.
They are all on the edge of the age line and their faces look very excited.
George and Fred, who were surrounded by them, drank the aging potion happily and carefully crossed the age line in front of them.
The actions of the Weasley twins naturally touched the hearts of all the underage wizards in the hall.
They all wanted to know whether such means could succeed.
Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, George and Fred directly crossed the age barrier.
Just when everyone thought they had succeeded and were starting to cheer.
George and Fred were thrown violently away, rolled twice in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
After the Weasley twins struggled to get up from the ground, they saw that each other had a long white beard on his face.
"Oh my God! George, you've grown a very long beard!"
"Don't talk about me! Fred, the same goes for you."
The two men pulled each other in disbelief, and when they found out that each other's beards were real, they pointed at each other's beards and laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing how cheerful they were, even the students watching laughed happily.
As the auditorium laughed, the Halloween costumes in the auditorium also changed.
A large group of candy bats appeared amid laughter, flying around the night-like ceiling.
There were also hundreds of little people carved out of pumpkins placed in every corner, dancing along with the laughter.
Wright ate quietly in this joyful atmosphere, but he was constantly thinking in his heart:
"Why did you choose not to save Cedric, but to watch him die."
Before he could figure out what was going on, the students who were laughing just now suddenly all laughed.
Amid the sounds of "Oh!", the students of Beauxbatons Academy, led by Maxime.
The queue neatly crossed the age line and threw the parchment in their hands into the Goblet of Fire.
Many of the students blushed when they saw the girl taking off her veil and looking like a veela.
Wright, who had been thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, decided to let it go for the time being.
After finishing the meal, he went directly to the secret room, intending to continue studying the spell composed of magic runes.
Wright, who was obsessed with research, hurried to the auditorium to attend the Halloween Eve dinner only after being reminded by the alarm clock.
In order to welcome Halloween and the arrival of foreign guests, the auditorium was decorated to be more eerie and scary this year.
The sky was illuminated by pumpkin lanterns of all sizes floating in the air, making it very dim.
Pitch-black bats flew through the pumpkin lanterns, casting huge shadows in the auditorium.
The blue and white flame of the Goblet of Fire placed on a high platform brought an even more eerie feeling to the slightly dim auditorium.
The long tables of the four colleges were all full of people. The students were basically whispering to each other and constantly looking up.
Obviously, they just wanted Dumbledore to announce who the champion was as soon as possible.
But Dumbledore did not follow the routine and directly announced the start of the banquet.
Although the food at this dinner was still very rich, the students' attention was not focused on this aspect.
They hoped very much that the banquet would end soon so that they could know who the chosen hero was as soon as possible.
But Wright didn't care about that. He ate and drank generously while recording Ron's dirty talk to Krum.
When the time was almost up, Dumbledore slowly stood up amid everyone's anticipation.
The plates in front of the students became spotless, and the messy long table was restored to tidiness.
Dumbledore walked to the front of the podium, and this action immediately caused all the students in the hall to breathe faster.
Dumbledore stood on the podium, glanced at the students below, and said loudly:
"Well, the Goblet of Fire is about to make its decision!"
“Once the warrior’s name is announced, it’s time to walk to the top of the auditorium.”
"Go along the long faculty table and into the next room."
"The Warriors will be in that room, getting their initial instruction on the game."
As he spoke, Dumbledore pointed to the door behind the table.
Seeing that all the students were looking at the place he pointed, Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction and announced loudly:
"Goblet of Fire, tell me the warrior you approve of!"
Following his announcement, the lights in the auditorium dimmed instantly.
Only the constantly dancing blue and white flame of the Goblet of Fire remained, illuminating all the expectant eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, the Goblet of Fire suddenly underwent miraculous changes.
The chilly blue-white flame instantly turned into a blazing red.
Amid the crackling sounds, red sparks continued to spray out from the Goblet of Fire.
