Chapter 472 There are always surprises during selection
Faced with Stephanie's question, before Sean could answer, Hermione on the side became alert.
However, with so many people watching in public, the other person just asked a very common question. Is it too bad that I suddenly became so sensitive?
Just as Hermione was struggling, Sean had already nodded.
"Of course I have to participate if I have this opportunity. I'm quite curious about this year's competition."
"I understand." Stephanie nodded.
Then, she naturally took out a quill pen, and then took out a piece of paper and wrote her name on it casually.
"Stephanie?" Sean looked at each other in surprise.
In my impression, Stephanie is not a person who likes to participate in group activities. To be precise, she almost does not participate in group activities except for necessary courses.
This girl prefers to read quietly by herself. She doesn't like to be in the limelight, doesn't like to make trouble, and doesn't have the passion and sense of honor that young people have.
Stephanie reached over to Sean and left a whisper that only he could hear.
"I'm interested now."
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Stephanie calmly walked to the Goblet of Fire - she was not even as tall as the Goblet of Fire placed on the box.
Then, Stephanie calmly threw the note with her name on it into the blazing flames.
It's as common as taking a book off the shelf.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they burst into applause and cheers. Anyone who dared to sign up to participate in the Four Powers Tournament was the warrior in their hearts.
Hermione, who had been watching this scene, subconsciously turned her attention to the Weasley brothers who had been whistling next to them - should she get some age-enhancing potions?
However, before her deviant idea could be fully realized, the Weasley brothers ran over while whistling.
"The Champions of Hogwarts!"
"We are unstoppable!"
In the eyes of everyone, the twin brothers bumped their butts, and then threw their name slips in happily.
"They are not here for the glory of the warriors -" Sean heard Ron mutter, "Fred and George discussed with Lee Jordan all night yesterday about the three thousand gold galleons bonus for the final winner.
No matter how it works, they even want to go to Diagon Alley to find a store!"
Sean turned his head and smiled: "At least you have a dream, don't you?"
Harry spread his hands and said, "If they hadn't chased Krum for his autograph yesterday, today's actions still look very courageous."
Sean laughed, these two little creatures were so funny.
Brave students from various schools threw their name strips into the Goblet of Fire, and the onlookers were envious and admired - the Four Wiz Tournament is really not a playground for children to play, even now that the protection measures are relatively complete.
, the dangers of this event are still far beyond what students are usually exposed to.
Many sixth- and seventh-grade students still remember that in the last Goblet of Fire, their senior spent half a semester in the hospital because of a curse.
At the door of the auditorium, a man and a woman were looking at the situation inside.
After seeing Sean throw his name strip into the Goblet of Fire amid cheers, Charlotte raised her fist and waved it excitedly.
She looked at Colton next to her and smiled triumphantly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Sterling, this time, we, Hogwarts, win."
In response to Charlotte's provocation, Colton, who had his arms folded and a calm face, did not say anything, nor did he refute the other party's remarks - the two of them had already acquiesced that Sean's level was far superior to the current contestants.
He just glanced at Charlotte lightly.
"Miss Hawke, even if Sean leads Hogwarts to victory, this still cannot change the fact that you were my defeat last time."
Charlotte's face suddenly became stinky, and she glared at the other party angrily: "Just indulge in your past glory!"
"Thank you for reminding me, I won't forget it." Colton smiled slightly and stroked his chest in a gentlemanly gesture.
Faced with Colton, who was incompetent and far better at talking than she was, Charlotte gritted her teeth and blushed, then suddenly changed her expression and looked back: "Mr. Grindelwald..."
As soon as he heard the name, Colton immediately stood up straight and looked back while maintaining an elite look.
"Ah——" There was a pain in his feet, and when he looked back, there was no figure of Grindelwald.
"Hawke...you..."
"Keep your guard up, Mr. Sterling!"
After stepping on the opponent's foot, Charlotte stuck out her tongue viciously, and then ran away happily.
Watching the other party's triumphant figure disappear around the corner, Colton's frown relaxed and he revealed a faint smile.
…
Time flies by, and the Halloween dinner seems to last much longer than usual. Perhaps because there are banquets for two consecutive days, everyone does not seem to like those well-prepared sumptuous dishes as much as usual. People in the auditorium keep looking away.
, there was an anxious look on every face. Everyone was restless, standing up from time to time to see if Dumbledore had finished eating.
Finally, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the sound in the auditorium suddenly became much louder. Immediately, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent. Karkaroff beside him looked very nervous
, the same goes for Ms. Maxim next to her.
Only Grindelwald kept a cheerful smile.
"Well, it's time for the Goblet to be decided," said Dumbledore. "I reckon it'll take a minute. Listen, when the names of the champions are announced, I want them to go to the top of the Great Hall and walk along the staff
The desk goes over and into the room next door—" he pointed to the door behind the faculty desk, "—where they will receive initial instruction."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He took out his wand and waved it widely. Immediately, except for the candles in the pumpkin lantern, all the other candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a semi-
A state of light and semi-darkness. The Goblet of Fire now emits a dazzling light, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium. The blue-white flames bursting with sparks are simply a bit dazzling. Everyone is watching and waiting... A few people don't stop
Look at the watch...
Even Sean felt a little nervous because of the atmosphere in the auditorium, although not much.
"This time, we will select a total of twelve warriors, three from each school-" Dumbledore said loudly, everyone stared firmly at the Goblet of Fire in front of him.
The flame in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and crackling sparks burst out. Then, a tongue of fire jumped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it - everyone in the auditorium held their breath.
Breathed.
Dumbledore quickly grabbed the piece of paper, and the red flames in the Goblet of Fire changed back to blue-white.
"Let's see - the first warrior!" Dumbledore enlarged his voice, "Viktor Krum, from Durmstrang!"
Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium, and the world's number one Seeker received many screams from Hogwarts.
"I knew it was you, Krum!" Karkaroff stood up and waved his fist vigorously, looking extremely excited.
Krum stood up, shook hands with Dumbledore, turned to the right, walked along the staff table, and entered the next room through the door.
"The next warrior -" the Goblet of Fire burned again, and a second note flew out, "Reinhard Nott, also from Durmstrang."
The applause was a little smaller, and amidst Karkaroff's shouts, the rough boy who had once gestured to Sean to wipe his neck stood up, showed a wanton smile, and walked towards where he was going.
Sean frowned, this guy’s last name is Nott too?
Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore announced Durmstrang's third warrior.
"Leon Schneider!"
A dark-haired boy with a gloomy face and a lack of energy stood up. He pushed up his glasses and walked over expressionlessly.
Sean and Capone looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
The third warrior has the same name as the owl Sean gave to Capone...
"In this way, the selection of Durmstrang's three warriors has been completed. Next -" Dumbledore caught the note again.
"The first champion from Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour!"
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the boys, Fleur hugged her sister, and then stood up gracefully, her silver hair flicking around like a dancing elf.
Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore pulled out two other Beauxbatons warriors, all of whom were girls, looking excited and nervous.
"Look, Beauxbatons' style seems to be a little more... radical than we thought?" Hermione said, "Those who were not chosen looked particularly disappointed."
Sean felt that the word "disappointment" might be a bit understated. Several Beauxbatons students who were not selected were covering their faces and crying.
After choosing Beauxbatons, they came to Nurmengard. Dumbledore grabbed the note and called out the first person's name.
"Morgenth Daniels!"
Sean clapped his hands. This person could be considered an acquaintance of his. There was no doubt about his strength.
The second, "Hugo Barbarossa!"
The fat blond man stood up in surprise, with a piece of melon stuffed in his mouth. He didn't look like a warrior, but a melon-eater.
Amid the roars of laughter from many people, Hugo chewed hard, wiped his mouth, showed a provocative and arrogant smile to the laughing students, and then walked towards the teacher's desk.
"Hugo should be very strong now..." Hermione said while applauding.
Sean nodded in agreement. There was no doubt about Hugo's strength. He was born with a powerful source of magic power. Sean had a ready-made example around him - Capone.
Moreover, this guy is probably one of the sins of [Gluttony]. Those who laugh at him may never imagine how terrifying this fat man is when he is full of firepower.
Dumbledore called out the last name: "Patricia de Lensal!"
The sexy and hot girl stood up amidst the cheers. She blew a kiss to her companions, and then walked over in a hurry. Her bulging chest was bouncing, which made many boys look at her.
"Why are you looking at me? I wasn't looking at you just now..." Facing Hermione's suspicious eyes, Sean said with a guilty conscience.
Just now, he just took a very, very small glance, just a glance.
Next, came the most anticipated part in the auditorium. Many Hogwarts students stared at the Goblet of Fire in front of Dumbledore.
Three warriors belonging to them are coming.
The Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks burst out, tongues of fire shot high into the air, and Dumbledore pulled out the tenth piece of parchment from the tip of the tongues of fire.
"The first Hogwarts Champion," he shouted, "is Cedric Diggory!"
The cheers on the table were deafening. Every Hufflepuff was jumping up and down, screaming and stamping their feet, when Cedric walked past them, smiling broadly, toward the staff table.
Go to the back room.
Sean also clapped with a smile on his face. No matter from every angle, Cedric is a very reliable teammate.
"The second champion of Hogwarts -" Dumbledore grabbed the parchment again, and then a slight surprise appeared on his face.
"George Weasley!"
There were exclamations in the auditorium, and George jumped up with a loud laugh. Fred and Lee Jordan hugged him and rocked him back and forth like crazy.
"Oh, George," Hermione was also a little surprised, "but he is really strong, isn't he?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sean was also a little surprised, but he still cheered and applauded immediately.
The only person who didn't applaud was Stephanie. The silver-haired girl sat at one end of the long Ravenclaw table. Everyone around her stood up and cheered and applauded. Only she showed a regretful expression.
Two of the three positions have already been taken, so it's impossible for me to be selected... Stephanie thought with disappointment.
For the first time, she was so eager to participate in a tournament, but the Goblet of Fire didn't seem to acknowledge her enthusiasm.
When George skipped into the room, Dumbledore pulled out the last note.
The students in the auditorium didn't wait for the announcement and turned their attention to Sean on the Ravenclaw table.
The students at Hogwarts have almost assumed that Sean will have a seat. Otherwise, why would Professor Dumbledore deliberately open this back door?
Sean smiled at Hermione and the others, and adjusted his collar.
"Fred Weasley." Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the auditorium.
There was an inexplicable silence, and the entire auditorium was stunned for a moment, including Sean himself.
Including Fred.
Fred pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"
"Yes, Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore showed the note in his hand, which said "Fred Weasley."
After a brief moment of surprise, applause broke out, but many people looked at Sean with surprise and pity.
Sean scratched his head in embarrassment and clapped along with everyone else.
This was indeed a situation he had not expected. The action of adjusting his collar just now was a little embarrassing...
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and put on a smile again.
If he didn't choose, he didn't choose. He doesn't need the Goblet of Fire to prove himself.
Just when everyone, including Dumbledore, thought it was over, the flame in the cup turned fiery red again.
Sparks crackled out. A long tongue of fire suddenly jumped into the air, and another piece of parchment was held up.
