The students in the entire auditorium were discussing this matter, that their warrior was missing.
In the morning there were rumors that Albert Anderson was missing.
But, if Albert really disappeared, how did he sign up to become a warrior?
Perhaps, someone signed up for him?
what on earth is it?
Everyone was confused and had too many questions in their minds.
Not only them, but also Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxim are confused about what is going on now.
The warriors of Hogwarts seem to be... missing?
Now how to do?
The two of them looked at the two officials from the British Ministry of Magic. Crouch and Bagman also looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Just as everyone was discussing this matter in low voices, the blue-white flame in the originally silent Goblet of Fire suddenly turned red again, and a piece of burnt parchment was sprayed out from the Goblet of Fire.
As if subconsciously, Dumbledore stretched out his long fingers and grabbed the piece of parchment.
The buzz in the auditorium gradually disappeared, and everyone looked at the piece of parchment in Dumbledore's hand, full of doubts. What on earth was going on?
Did Albert not show up, so the Goblet of Fire selected a new warrior for Hogwarts?
They all couldn't wait to know what was written on the note.
Staring at the note in his hand, Dumbledore, who had been silent for a long time, finally cleared his throat and read the name on the note aloud: "Harry Potter."
There was a strange dead silence, without any applause, and the air seemed to be frozen.
There were too many surprises in tonight's warrior selection. First, the warriors from Hogwarts disappeared mysteriously, and then the Goblet of Fire selected a new warrior for them.
This is really ridiculous. When did Harry Potter become qualified to replace Albert Anderson as the new warrior of Hogwarts?
After everyone in the auditorium heard Dumbledore pronounce Harry's name, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Harry Potter's position.
At this moment, Harry Potter also looked confused, and his mind was completely blank. He didn't understand what was going on at all. He only saw the classmates around him staring blankly with their mouths open.
Own.
"Harry Potter!"
The moment he saw Harry Potter's name spit out from the Goblet of Fire, countless thoughts came to Dumbledore's mind. He remembered that Albert had said that Harry would definitely become the winner of Hogwarts.
warrior.
He even paid special attention to this, but things like that still happened.
To make matters worse, Albert is missing.
This time the selection of the warriors was a complete mess, but things had to go on, at least to resolve the immediate problem first. He shouted again, "Harry, please go to that door."
"Go." Hermione gently pushed Harry, who was in a daze.
Just when Harry stood up subconsciously and was about to walk towards the teacher's seat, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open.
All the students who were staring at Harry looked towards the entrance of the auditorium, and saw Albert, who was thought to be missing, pushing open the door of the auditorium and walking in.
this……
There were so many unexpected events that happened today that no one had time to react. They all looked stupidly at Albert, who was just about to take a seat in the empty Gryffindor seat.
"Where have you been today?" George asked in a low voice when he saw Albert preparing to sit down in the empty seat left by them.
"We're in some trouble."
"A little trouble?" Fred repeated feebly.
After Dumbledore saw Albert appear, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Albert, please come here!"
"Come over quickly, you are the warrior of Hogwarts." George urged.
"Warrior, me?" Albert showed an unexpected expression and walked forward along the passage between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables.
When he just walked to the teacher's seat, he heard Professor McGonagall ask in a low voice: "Mr. Anderson, what on earth are you doing."
"Last night, while I was talking to Katrina, someone attacked us and threw us into a secret room." Albert came up with the excuse he had colluded with Katrina in advance.
Professor McGonagall opened her eyes in surprise, as if she had heard something unbelievable, and said dryly: "Go to that door first, the warriors are waiting for further guidance over there."
Albert walked along the teacher's desk, pushed open the door, and when he was about to walk in, he heard Dumbledore's voice in his ear: "Harry, come here too."
Albert walked into the small room, his eyes swept from the wizard portraits on both sides of the wall, and landed on the two warriors gathered around the blazing fire.
Krum was sitting on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking about. Fleur Delacour heard the noise and turned her head to look at Albert. There didn't seem to be much surprise on her face.
"What an incredible night." Albert found an empty seat and sat down.
"Unbelievable?" Fleur was a little confused.
"You'll find out later." As soon as Albert finished his words, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and Harry Potter walked into the small room.
"Harry, come over here and sit down!" Albert turned his head and greeted.
"What's going on?" Fleur and Krum both raised their heads and looked at Albert.
"He is the fourth warrior." Albert said in French and Bulgarian respectively.
"Are you kidding?" Fleur frowned and looked at the little boy in front of her arrogantly.
Krum heard the familiar Bulgarian, looked at Albert with slight surprise, and asked doubtfully: "The fourth warrior."
"Literally." Albert greeted Harry, who was in a daze. "Sit here Harry, and ignore them. Those people will probably be arguing for a while."
"I didn't put my name in." Harry said stupidly, sitting on the sofa next to Albert.
"I know." Albert reassured: "Don't worry about this, you need to worry more about your own safety now."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My safety issue." Harry was even more confused.
At this moment, there was a quarrel outside, the door behind them was pushed open again, and a large group of people crowded in.
"What does this mean, Dumbledore?" Madam Maxime took the lead.
"I want to know this too. I don't remember anyone telling me that the host school can have two warriors." Professor Karkaroff laughed briefly, "Didn't I read those regulations carefully enough?"
"You read that right." Mrs. Maxim said, "Hogwarts cannot have two warriors. This is extremely unfair."
Seeing the other two principals questioning Dumbledore, Harry looked uneasy. However, he suddenly smelled the strong fragrance of milk tea, and when he turned his head, he found that Albert beside him had gotten it from somewhere.
With a cup of steaming milk tea, I was slowly eating a piece of cake.
Albert took a sip of milk tea and asked, "Do you want a cup too?"
"No, I've just eaten." Harry said dryly.
"Let them quarrel. This kind of thing is normal. The result will be the same anyway. Nothing will change." After Albert destroyed most of the cakes, he looked at the group of quarreling professors with interest.
Hearing Snape put all the questions on Harry's head, Albert teased softly: "Snape and you have deep conflicts."
"He has always disliked me from the moment I went to school." Harry whispered.
"There must be some reason. There has never been unreasonable hatred in this world." Albert ignored Snape's murderous gaze and put a refilling spell on his cup.
Professor Dumbledore suddenly turned his head and stared into Harry's eyes, and asked calmly: "Harry, have you ever thrown your name into the Goblet of Fire, or have you asked an older classmate to help you put your name into it?"
Goblet of Fire?”
"No." Harry said excitedly.
"He must be lying!" Madame Maxime shouted.
"This is no longer important, Mrs. Maxim. No amount of accusations can change the fact that Hogwarts has two warriors." Karkaroff said in a smooth voice, "I think every school should have one.
Only two warriors are fair, Dumbledore."
"Fair? Do you really think Hogwarts needs two warriors?" Professor Moody sneered.
"What's the meaning?"
"Someone wanted to murder Potter. He knew that by putting Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire and casting a confusion spell, Potter would have to participate in the competition."
"Moody, how could you say such a thing!" Ludo Bagman looked very anxious.
"As we all know, Professor Moody suspects that someone wants to murder him every day." Karkaroff sneered loudly. "When he eats, he always worries that someone has poisoned his food."
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Professor Moody said impatiently: "From the time Albert Anderson participated in the Triwizard Tournament, you have no so-called fairness. For this reason, someone last night
Attack him and try to prevent him from participating in the Triwizard Tournament?"
"Are you kidding?" Karkaroff sneered.
"Albert has won so many international awards, you really think he is still a student." Professor Moody did not hide his ridicule, "Don't be stupid Karkaroff, you know this very well. Since Hogg
Watts has Albert as a warrior, so it would be meaningless for Potter to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, unless someone wants to take this opportunity to murder him, because for Potter, the events of the Triwizard Tournament are too difficult.
It will most likely kill him."
Karkaroff's smile disappeared, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly, because what Moody said was actually right.
If Albert Anderson participates in the competition, it will basically be difficult for other schools to win. The International Grand Prize is not a school competition like the Triwizard Tournament. One can imagine Albert's level.
One more Porter really doesn't mean much.
"I think we should file a complaint with the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards." Karkaroff turned to Madame Maxime and said, this was his last act of stubbornness.
"Dumbledore, is there really no way to make Harry give up the game or terminate the game directly?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but ask. She felt that Moody was right. The Triwizard Tournament was really important to Harry.
It was too dangerous, not only for the Triwizard Tournament, but she had not forgotten the person who secretly signed up for Potter, and the person who attacked Albert.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid not. Magical contracts cannot be broken." Dumbledore said to everyone in the room. "We have no choice but to accept it."
Most of the people in the room were dissatisfied: Dumbledore was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking, Professor McGonagall looked annoyed, Madame Maxime glared angrily, and Karkaroff's face was even more expressionless.
Ashen, even Snape didn't know why he looked very annoyed.
Well, Professor Moody was glaring at Karkaroff. In fact, he wanted to glare at Albert, but in order to prevent his flaws from being exposed, he could only stare at Karkaroff to prevent anyone from discovering his not-so-good mood.
However, Bagman is obviously an exception, and he is very excited about what happened at Hogwarts tonight.
"Okay, let's continue?" Bagman rubbed his hands and looked at the people in the room with a smile, "Barty, let you guide our warriors."
"Very good, we finally got back to the topic." Mr. Crouch seemed to have just been ill and looked very haggard and tired.
"The first project is to test the courage of the warriors, and will be carried out on November 24th." He said to Harry, Albert, Fleur and Viktor, "The warriors need to carry only the wand.
Face unknown things alone and complete the competition in front of other students and the judging panel. During this period, you are not allowed to request or accept any help from other teachers."
"As for the situation of the second project, the warriors will not know until the end of the first project."
"Since the competition is very demanding and lasts a long time, the warriors do not need to take the school year exams and can concentrate on preparing for the competition." Mr. Crouch turned to Dumbledore and said, "That's all I want to say."
After Crouch finished speaking, Madam Maxime had put her arm around Fleur's shoulders and led her out of the room quickly. Karkaroff greeted Krum, and the two of them said nothing.
left.
Crouch declined Dumbledore's invitation to have a drink and used the fireplace to return directly to the Ministry of Magic. Bagman followed with a wry smile on his face. They had to go back to deal with tonight's unexpected incident. The three imported fire dragons were obviously not enough.
.
"Harry, Albert, I suggest you go back to bed." Dumbledore looked at them both with a smile.
"No, I have to go to the kitchen. I don't want to go to bed hungry!" Albert interrupted.
"I'll have the house elves deliver the food to your room." Professor McGonagall didn't want Albert running around at night.
"Remember to ask them to heat the food, and also ask for a sweet and a drink." After Albert finished speaking, he turned to look at Professor Moody and said in a grateful tone: "I heard from Fred and the others that it was you.
Thank you Professor for helping me sign up, otherwise I would have really missed this interesting competition."
After hearing Albert's words of gratitude, Professor Moody froze on the spot. He didn't expect that Albert would express his gratitude to him, let alone that he would actually put Albert's name into the Goblet of Fire?
How come he didn't know about this?
The expression on Moody's face froze, and he couldn't help but tighten the cane in his hand. To be honest, at this moment, he wanted to slap Albert hard with the cane in his hand, but he restrained himself in the end.
After a long time, Professor Moody said gruffly: "No, it's not me. It should be your classmates who signed up for you. They have done that before."
"Anyway, I still want to thank you Professor, I will try my best to win the championship trophy for Hogwarts." Albert said sincerely.
"The most important thing for you is to protect yourselves." Professor McGonagall glared at Professor Moody fiercely and ordered: "Especially you, Potter. If there is nothing you can do, it is not a shame to give up during the game.
thing."
"I think Professor McGonagall is right, Harry, you should learn to protect yourself. This is obviously a conspiracy against you." Albert nodded.
Harry nodded gloomily, but at least one thing made him relieved. Albert did not think that he used illegal methods to get himself elected as a warrior.
Looking at the two people leaving, Dumbledore comforted her: "Okay Minerva, the situation is not as bad as you think."
"Don't you think the whole Triwizard Tournament has an air of conspiracy?" Professor McGonagall said sharply.
"We have no choice," Dumbledore said to the old man. "Alastor, help look after Harry."
