Chapter 278 Confirmed Accident
The sudden change in the flame in the Goblet of Fire startled the students.
Just as the students were wondering what was going on, tongues of fire shot up from the Goblet of Fire, spitting out a piece of burnt black parchment.
After completing all this, the red flame in the Goblet of Fire turned back to blue and white.
In the young wizard's nervous and excited eyes, Dumbledore raised his hand to take the parchment and read aloud:
"Viktor Krum, the warrior of Durmstrang Academy!"
Krum's reputation was well-deserved, and it wasn't just the long table where he sat that was cheering loudly.
Almost all the students in the auditorium cheered and applauded.
Ron even kept screaming and shouting that he wanted to marry Krum, which added a lot of weight to Wright's "plan to eat him for a lifetime".
Amidst the warm cheers, Krum calmly stood up beside the Slytherin table.
Walk towards Dumbledore and follow the staff box into the next room.
Just as the students' cheers died down, another piece of parchment was spit out from the Goblet of Fire and caught by Dumbledore.
"The champion of Beauxbatons Academy—Fleur Delacour!"
Following Dumbledore's announcement, Fleur smiled and gracefully stood up from the Ravenclaw table.
With encouragement, walk into the next room!
Not long after, the Goblet of Fire changed again and spit out a piece of paper.
The Hogwarts students below the stage were nervous and excited, watching the parchment floating toward the stage.
He silently took the thing that was floating over, even though he already knew who the candidate would be.
But Dumbledore was still a little nervous. He glanced carefully at the first letter and shouted:
"Cedric Diggory, the champion of Hogwarts!"
"oh!!!"
When they found out the candidate was Cedric, all the Hufflepuff students screamed.
Amid the screams and cheers of his fellow students, Cedric walked towards the next room with a bright smile on his face.
"Very good, now our three warriors have been selected, the remaining students should not be discouraged..."
Before Dumbledore could finish his words, the Goblet of Fire next to him suddenly moved again.
This time the change was particularly obvious. A blazing flame spurted out of the cup two meters high, and finally spit out a piece of parchment.
This sudden change not only attracted the students' attention.
Even the attention of the professors and referees was drawn to it.
Dumbledore took the parchment with great surprise, and his face changed drastically after just one glance.
He read it carefully several times before shouting out the contents on the parchment:
"The fourth champion - Harry Potter!"
When Dumbledore read out the name, everyone was stunned and the whole hall was silent.
But the one who was more surprised than anyone else was Harry, the person involved.
His mind was now blank, and he felt as if he was dreaming.
Looking at Dumbledore on the platform with a look of disbelief on his face, Wright silently complained in his heart:
"Old Deng, your acting is not that good! It's a bit too exaggerated."
At this moment, Karkaroff's furious shout rang out throughout the silent auditorium:
"You're cheating, this is totally unfair!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed his fist on the long table. The huge banging sound, accompanied by a roar, spread throughout the entire auditorium.
Maxim looked at Dumbledore who was acting, and asked with a sullen face:
"We need an explanation, Dumbledore!"
"Just because the tournament is held at Hogwarts doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"
Dumbledore ignored Karkaroff and Maxim, and looked at Harry with a serious expression, and asked softly:
"Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?"
Harry, who was named, stood up with a panicked expression and quickly waved his hands to deny it:
"Professor, I didn't! I didn't put the name in, I don't know anything."
But his explanation was too weak to be believed.
Almost everyone stared at Harry with questioning eyes, wanting an explanation.
Harry, who had never seen such a big scene, panicked and wanted to seek support from his friends.
Ron's eyes were wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't say anything.
Although Hermione was a little skeptical, she still chose to believe Harry and helped to explain, but no one believed her.
When Karkaroff saw Hermione defending Harry, he slammed the table and shouted, "Enough!"
"You are a bunch of shameless guys. If you cheat, then cheat. There is no need to argue..."
"Old man! What are you barking about?"
Wright also stood up and gave Harry, who was in a state of panic, a reassuring look. The troll Wright is now online:
"Old man, don't be so shameless!"
"I have cracked the Goblet of Fire. This time you are one against two."
"Next time it's your turn to hold a competition, it will be one against ten or one against a hundred."
"If you keep on talking, I'll knock out your teeth and burn your boat!"
"you you……"
Karkaroff was gasping for breath after being contradicted by an unknown junior.
He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Wright, unable to speak for a long time.
"Enough, enough..."
Dumbledore was a little afraid that Karkaroff would just slap him, so he quickly stopped the quarrel and ordered:
"Harry, go in through that door first! And Wright, come here too."
Wright glanced at Dumbledore with a bit of dissatisfaction, who had a smile in his eyes.
Then he pulled Harry, who was still in a trance, and walked into the next room under everyone's attention.
After Light disappeared, Karkaroff slowly recovered his breath, but he and Maxim both looked very bad.
Naturally, they would not believe the words of a little wizard, but it was a fact that Hogwarts had two warriors.
However, neither of them was going to argue with Dumbledore in public.
The little wizard just now has already given a template. If you can't win an argument, you will lose face.
The room next to the auditorium is not big, but it is hung with many moving portraits.
They were facing the three warriors, explaining the process and rules of the entire game.
When Wright led Harry into the room, the people in the portraits all looked over, as if wondering why someone else was coming.
Similarly, Cedric, Krum and Fleur, who were listening to the explanation, also looked over.
They all smiled politely and nodded to Light and Harry.
It seemed that he thought the two of them came with some notice.
Without waiting for the portraits to ask, Ludo pushed the door open vigorously and said excitedly:
“Great, this is awesome!”
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a beautiful surprise, what a fascinating thing!"
While speaking happily, Ludo nodded implicitly to Light, indicating his position.
