Facing the first two unfamiliar names, the little wizards reacted okay, but when the words "Percy Weasley" rang out in the auditorium, everyone was shocked.
No one thought that the person who would represent Hogwarts on the judging panel would actually be Percy! Even Percy himself didn't expect that. When he heard the news, Percy's eyes widened and he could easily stuff an egg into his mouth.
At that time, his mind went blank.
The little wizards in the audience looked at Percy with eyes full of envy, confusion and even jealousy. The reason was simple: why?
To be fair, when Dumbledore said that these three people could join the judging panel, none of the students present had any intention of being selected. The reason is also very simple. Those who can represent the school must be excellent, but outstanding people still have to compete.
How can I be a referee if there is a quota for warriors? What if a student is selected and he is also selected as a warrior? Can he be a referee and a player at the same time? This is definitely not possible, so he must be an outstanding graduate.
Born to be a referee.
As for being able to become a representative even under the age of seventeen, how can it be such a good thing? Not to mention, it is really possible for one person, but he has been assigned a more important task by Dumbledore in advance.
What shocks everyone is: Why can Percy become a referee? He is indeed very good, but there are many graduates who are better than him, so why was he chosen?
Percy's good brothers, Fred and George, had dangerous gleams in their eyes, and one weird idea after another was tumbling in their minds...
Interestingly, not only the students of Hogwarts were shocked, but the young wizards of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons were also surprised by the representatives of their schools: Issa May and Barry Cloud were both outstanding
But he is not the best person.
It was Dumbledore who made the interpretation. He told everyone present that these three representatives were the best among the students who had graduated in the past three years.
With such a limiting condition, everyone's acceptance of these three people has greatly increased.
The three people selected by Dumbledore have one thing in common: they have all been presidents of the student union, and their development momentum after graduation has been very good. Needless to say, Percy Weasley has been very successful in the Ministry of Magic.
Since then, he has been entrusted with important tasks by Mr. Crouch. Issa May successfully stayed at the school after graduation and is now an assistant professor at Durmstrang. Barry Crowder is less famous, but it is said that he is also extremely famous.
He is an incredible healer and is very good at healing magic. In other words, all three of them are young heroes.
After the introduction, Dumbledore began to talk about this year's arrangements.
The Triwizard Tournament is divided into three events, which are held at different times throughout the school year. These three events will test the abilities of the warriors in many aspects. The referee team will give awards based on the quality of each event completed by the warriors.
They score - the Warriors can also get extra points during the game. A three-person team composed of three representatives will act as a referee, and they will give the Warriors a score after discussion within the group.
Everything must be as fair as possible.
Don’t be discouraged if you are not selected as a warrior. There are ways for other students to participate in all three projects, and they are by no means a one-man show for warriors.…
This is Tom's handiwork.
In his opinion, the original three projects were outrageous! Except for Cedric, Fleur, Krum and Harry, did the other students have 1% sense of participation? They couldn't even make a few suggestions.
It’s okay if you can’t participate. What’s even worse is that the viewing experience is extremely poor. The first event is okay, at least in the Quidditch stadium, everyone can see the performance of the warriors. But the second event is underwater,
The third project is in the forest. If Dumbledore didn't come up with some "broadcasting methods", the audience would be completely in a daze in the auditorium!
This is too outrageous!
Let Tom choose, he would rather go back to the library and read a book than be stupid in the audience staring at a lake or a forest. [Note]
So, Tom slightly changed the project to allow other students to participate. He also did this to open the door for himself. He did not want to miss such a large-scale entertainment event.
"After the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. As for the absolutely impartial referee responsible for selecting the warriors... the Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore took out his wand and knocked three times on the old wooden box.
Next, the lid of the box slowly unfolded, revealing a huge rough wooden goblet, with blue-white flames dancing in the goblet.
The entire auditorium was silent, and countless people swallowed their saliva. Some people, such as Fred and George, couldn't help but feel a little bit ambitious when they saw that the "referee" was an object.
"Students who want to run for the Warriors must write their name and school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet." Dumbledore looked at the students in the audience seriously, "You have a whole day.
Time to register. At this time tomorrow night, the Goblet of Fire will select the names of the three students it thinks can best represent the three schools. They are the warriors of the school. Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be left here. Anyone who meets the age requirements
Anyone with restrictions can come and sign up.”
Dumbledore glanced at Fred, George and Tom, and continued: "I will set up an age line, and no one under the age of seventeen can cross this line."
Faced with this news, everyone looked calm. Most of the students at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were over seventeen years old, and the young wizards at Hogwarts learned the news early.
So Dumbledore's words didn't make any waves - on the surface.
Secretly, the ambitions of countless people are soaring like weeds. Indeed, Dumbledore's supervision measures are like an online exam without turning on the camera or microphone, which makes people think.
Fred and George had stern eyes, Lee Jordan grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears, and there were also many students with twinkling eyes at the long tables in the other three colleges. Tom also had other thoughts in his heart.
However, he didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign up for the competition, but wanted to take the opportunity to conduct a test and test a person's identity.
Alastor Moody!
This man's behavior is a little weird, and you have to be careful. If he is an impostor disguised as Polyjuice Potion, then he will definitely put the parchment with Harry's name on it into the Goblet of Fire tonight.
This was also the moment when he showed his true qualities.
"Okay, I think it's time to go to bed, good night everyone!" Dumbledore ended his speech, and the opening ceremony ended.
When everyone filed out of the auditorium, Tom stopped Harry because he had something to say to Harry.

Good night.
Note: A little speculation about whether Dumbledore engaged in "broadcasting".
