Dumbledore grabbed the parchment and held it far away. The fire in the cup illuminated the paper very brightly.
When he read Sean's name, the auditorium suddenly fell into silence.
Then the noisy discussion started, and everyone turned to look at Sean, the fourth warrior of Hogwarts.
Sean frowned, why does this process look so familiar?
"Mr. Wallop, please come here." Dumbledore held the note and said to Sean.
Who did it this time... Sean silently looked at the people sitting on the professor's table.
Dumbledore looked a little surprised, Karkaroff had his eyes widened, and Grindelwald kept a cheerful smile...
He stood up, everyone raised their heads and looked at him, and the discussion continued.
However, Sean's reputation may be higher than he thought - as soon as he took two steps, Sean heard an extremely warm and prominent burst of applause.
It was Capone. The little boy in first grade stood up and blushed, applauding vigorously.
As if the fuse was lit, Capone took the lead, and Hermione, Daisy and others immediately clapped, and then his friends, roommates, and the first, second, and third grade students he taught,
Even Malfoy stood up and put on a stinky face - stinky is stinky, so you still have to applaud.
Soon, the applause exceeded that of all the students who had appeared before. Some students from other schools who did not know the whole story looked at this scene in surprise, wondering what kind of magic this young and handsome boy had.
Of course, this is not the key. The key is that Sean is the extra one.
Walking to the teacher's desk, Dumbledore looked at Sean with questioning eyes, and the latter shrugged: "I put in the note, but I didn't expect that I would be chosen in this way."
Dumbledore's glasses flickered, he coughed slightly, and then said: "In that case..."
Before he could finish speaking, Karkaroff suddenly stood up behind him, his face full of anger.
"That's not fair! There are four contestants in Hogwarts!"
Judging from his angry look, he seemed to have regarded Sean's additional selection as a Hogwarts conspiracy.
Could it be that Karkaroff did it? Sean silently observed everyone in front of him.
After Karkaroff's roar, the belated students also reacted - yes, isn't there only four people in Hogwarts like this?
This is not a one-on-one game, and the inconsistency in the number of teams will greatly affect the fairness of the entire game.
Many Durmstrang students also roared with their principal.
"Please be quiet, please be quiet -" Dumbledore stretched out his hand to stop the noise, "please allow me to discuss it with the referee..."
"Professor-" Sean interrupted Dumbledore and pointed to the Goblet of Fire.
"Sean, what do you want... hmm?" Dumbledore showed a more obviously surprised look.
Because, another piece of parchment was sent out under the licking tongue of fire.
"Stephanie Ollivander..." Dumbledore read out softly, looking at the beautiful cursive characters on the note.
The petite silver-haired girl stood up. She received the same attention and courtesy as Sean, but she also received a longer silence.
Not only because of her outstanding beauty, but also because of the surprise of this second "outlier".
Something went wrong with the Goblet of Fire?
Everyone present came up with this idea.
Then, everyone looked at the Goblet of Fire together.
The Goblet of Fire did not "disappoint" everyone, and the third note flew out that shouldn't have appeared.
Dumbledore was completely shocked. He held the note and read out the last name word by word.
"Daisy Potter——"
Sean's pupils also shrank suddenly, how could it be Daisy?
When the third piece of paper flew out, the person he guessed was Harry or Neville. These two people should have appeared on Grindelwald's parchment.
Sean already instinctively believed that the person behind all this wanted the three culprits to join the game.
But how could it be Daisy?!
Daisy, who was still whispering something to Hermione, looked confused. It wasn't until Dumbledore repeated her name again that she stood up.
"Daisy Potter!" Dumbledore shouted again, "Daisy! Please come up here!"
The little white flower looked at Sean blankly, with a look of help in his eyes. Sean also knew very well that Daisy did not put her name into the Goblet of Fire at all.
He nodded gently, indicating to the other party that there was no need to be afraid.
Finally, with all the students' attention, Daisy lowered her head and walked quickly to her seat.
"Daisy—" Dumbledore leaned down a little.
"Professor, Sean! I, I didn't put in a name, really not." Xiao Baihua said anxiously.
"I understand... Now, you guys, go to the room first." Dumbledore said to Sean, Stephanie and Daisy.
Sean nodded, signaled to Stephanie, and then gently patted Little Baihua on the shoulder, telling her not to worry.
The three of them walked towards the room, and as they approached, they heard the noisy voices of the Weasley twins inside - they were extremely excited.
Entering the room, the twelve people who had entered early were secretly sizing up their opponents around the stove. Fred and George were each holding Cedric's shoulders and talking continuously, which made the latter look a little a little bit.
Headache.
Although it was not polite to think so, Cedric had to admit that there was no place for the Weasley brothers in his original team, and Sean was his ideal teammate.
However, when Sean and others pushed open the door and walked in, everyone in the room was stunned.
"Hey, Sean - what's wrong, do you want to call us back? Why is Daisy here too..." George waved to him.
Before Sean could answer, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and Ludo Bagman walked into the room. He grabbed Sean's arm and pulled him forward.
Sean used a little force to break away from the Director of the Ministry of Magic's Sports Department, and smiled calmly at the latter.
Ludo Bagman was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "This is so strange, but this really happened..."
He looked at the other people in the room: "Please allow me to introduce, gentlemen and ladies, Sean Wallop, Stephanie Ollivander, and Daisy Porter. They have been selected as the new warriors.
.”
"What?" Fleur shouted in surprise, "Them? Why are there three more people? Moreover, these few are just children!"
Sean is in fifth grade, Daisy is in fourth grade, and Stephanie, who is actually in seventh grade, looks like she is in third grade...
There is nothing wrong with what Furong said...
Both Krum and Reinhard Nott showed gloomy expressions, especially Nott, who looked extremely dissatisfied.
On the contrary, the three people from Nurmengard smiled with interest. They were all acquaintances with Sean, and Daniels, who was "pretend to be acquainted", knew Sean's methods well and knew that offending him in person was definitely not the right choice.
Cedric and the Weasley brothers all showed surprised expressions, and the twins looked at Sean in surprise.
"How did you do that Sean?"
"You filled the Goblet of Fire with a turd egg?"
Fleur glared at the two of them, then looked at Ludo Bagman: "This is just a joke, isn't it, sir?"
"No, no, of course this is not a joke," Bagman said loudly, "their three names have been sprayed out from the Goblet of Fire, and the warrior has been chosen!"
"Oh no, they are too young." Fleur looked at Bagman proudly.
"But the Goblet of Fire has chosen them," Bagman rubbed his hands and chuckled, "You know, the Goblet of Fire's choices need to be followed..."
The door behind them was pushed open again, and a large group of people came in: Professor Dumbledore, followed closely by Ms. Burns, Professor Karkaroff, Ms. Maxim, Professor Rosier, and Professor McGonagall.
, Professor Snape, and Grindelwald who was slowly following behind. Before Professor McGonagall closed the door, Sean could hear the buzzing chatter of thousands of students coming from the auditorium next door.
Ms. Maxim straightened her tall and tall body. Her handsome head touched the chandelier filled with candles, and her huge breasts in black satin clothes undulated violently.
"What on earth does that mean, Dumbledore?" she asked haughtily.
"I want to know this too, Dumbledore," Professor Karkaroff said - with a cold smile on his face and a pair of blue eyes as cold as ice, "There are two teams of warriors at Hogwarts.
?I don’t remember anyone telling me that the host school can have two teams of warriors - did I not read those regulations carefully enough? Or are you planning to let six people form the most 'luxurious' team in the history of Hogwarts?
?”
He laughed sinisterly, sounding like one of Hagrid's wingless swimming ducks.
Ms. Maxim lowered her head slightly to prevent herself from being hit by the chandelier: "That's not fair, Dumbledore, there are twice as many people in Hogwarts as we do."
Dumbledore stood at the front: "First of all, Sean and Stephanie are both qualified to sign up, and they did so, but, Daisy, tell me, did you put your name in, whether it was to ask
Do the upperclassmen help or do you sneak in yourself?”
"Really not, Professor." Daisy shook her head like a rattle.
"Hey, what a lie." Karkaroff said gloomily.
Sean's eyes suddenly turned cold, but before he could speak, an even more sinister voice came from behind him.
"Karkaroff - sir, I think, until there is no evidence, you should maintain respect for a student. After all -" Snape's face looked like he had just been dug out of an iceberg, "Some
Don't talk nonsense."
Karkaroff took two steps back in fear, looking extremely afraid of Snape.
Dumbledore also said: "I believe in my student, Karkaroff, please watch your words."
Ms. Maxim frowned and said: "What should we do now? Let these three children also participate in the competition? This is ridiculous. I ask Beauxbatons to add three more people."
"Durmstrang too." Karkaroff stood behind and shouted not to be outdone.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the referee team, that is, Ms. Burns and...Grindelwald in the back.
Just as Burns was about to speak, she heard Grindelwald's footsteps behind her, and she immediately subconsciously kept silent.
Grindelwald walked slowly to the center of the crowd (Karkarov took several steps back) and said slowly: "I think these three children must participate in the Four-Wizard Tournament."
"The Goblet of Fire is a very powerful magic prop. I think someone used powerful magic to trick the Goblet of Fire, and then put in Daisy Potter's name. The Goblet of Fire thought this was a contestant from the fifth school——
As for Sean Wallop and Stephanie Ollivander, the name strips must have been manipulated in this way."
Ms. Burns then said: "Then they must participate. This is stipulated in the charter."
Grindelwald smiled and nodded at the other party: "This lady is right. The names put into the Goblet of Fire will form a magical contract after being selected. In other words, they have to participate."
Ms. Maxim frowned: "This is ridiculous. Hogwarts has three more people than our team."
Grindelwald chuckled: "It's not a big problem. After all, there is only one team that can win. These three people are also in a competitive relationship with the three young men from Hogwarts... How about this? Let the referee vote?"
As he said that, he raised his hand leisurely: "I approve of these three people participating in the competition."
Professor Rosier immediately caught up: "Nurmengarde too."
Ms. Burns looked at it and actually made the same choice.
Karkaroff and Maxim looked at each other, knowing that it was useless for them to vote against, and in the end they could only acquiesce to this fact.
Sean, Stephanie, and Daisy looked at each other, and they actually formed a new team.
"It's yours, Sean—" Fred and George winked wildly at him.
"So, is it settled?" Bagman rubbed his hands and walked forward with a smile.
"Come here, come here, kids, I'm going to tell you the rules." He greeted the fifteen contestants.
"The first project is to test your courage," he said to the warriors, "so we are not going to tell you what it is. Dare to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard... very important..."
"The first project will be carried out on November 24th and will be completed in front of other students and the judging panel."
"When completing the competition events, the warriors are not allowed to ask for or accept any help from their teachers. When the warriors face the first round of challenges, the only weapon in their hands is their own wands. They will not understand until the first event is over.
Regarding the situation of the second event. Due to the high requirements and long duration of the competition, the warriors will not participate in the school year examination."
"Of course, excluding O.W.Ls and N.E.W.T.——"
The excited Fred and George suddenly lowered their heads in disappointment.
Dumbledore chatted with the others for a while, and after they all left, Dumbledore said to the remaining six Hogwarts people: "Go back, you should have a good sleep, I think."
Several people nodded, and Sean looked at the departing figures.
