Since the matter involves a conflict of interests, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will of course investigate in advance.
With three great wizards in the school, Hogwarts was already in an invincible position. Even if the other two schools won, it would not be able to shake the foundation.
Once Beauxbatons and Durmstrang fail to win, their cards are not big enough. As a result, their teaching results are not good enough, and most of their appeal to high-end students will be lost in an instant.
In this way, the level of various schools can be revealed in a short period of time, and the timeline can be extended, which is enough to affect the fate of the country.
There are few talents elsewhere, but there are many of them. Thinking about it makes people happy.
vice versa.
With less money and more money, the chance of winning is narrower than before. Even if Beauxbatons' principal Maxim and Durmstrang's principal Karkaroff were replaced by Dumbledore, they would not agree to convene the Triwizard Tournament.
The two ministries of magic who worked together before and after running the show would not agree even more.
Emmm…
That's probably it.
Not only Ani and Hermione, but also people who know the inside story basically think that it will be difficult to restart the Triwizard Tournament this time.
It is estimated that Bagman came here today to inform Dumbledore about the "postponement" of the Triwizard Tournament. As for how long it will be postponed...
Just think about the last Triwizard Tournament.
Classes were as usual in the afternoon. I didn't see Bagman at dinner. I probably saw Dumbledore and then left.
After eating and drinking, Ani originally wanted to go back to the treehouse to pet cats, snakes, and phoenixes, and by the way, lie down on Da Ma and read a book for a while. Recently, Capai sent some ancient books, and the records in them are very interesting.
As a result, Dumbledore called him just as he was about to leave.
"What? Durmstrang insists on holding the Triwizard Tournament, has already reached an agreement with Beauxbatons, and is just waiting for Hogwarts to nod?"
As soon as he entered the principal's office, Aini learned the purpose of Bagman's visit, but it was exactly the opposite of what he had inferred.
An event such as the Triwizard Tournament that can affect a country's fortunes cannot be decided with a slap on the forehead a few days in advance. The Ministry of Magic of each country has been operating for many years before this.
The batch of Hogwarts dishes that they had seen before were eager to take a bite.
now……
Well, let’s just remember this for now, it’s better to work in vain than to work in vain for someone else.
This is what the Frenchman thought, and he cast quickly when the wind changed.
Madame Maxime decisively gave up the idea of restarting the Triwizard Tournament, and reached a consensus with the French Ministry of Magic early on to obtain the relevant agenda.
Compared to Mrs. Maxim, Durmstrang's principal Igor Karkaroff is much more slippery, has extraordinary ability to adapt to the changing circumstances, and is the most conscientious high-level figure in the European magic circle.
Whether or not to add "one" is open to debate.
But it was Karkaroff, who was a master of cowardice, who acted very stubbornly, threatening that if Beauxbatons did not participate, they would join forces with Hogwarts to launch a "two-power" competition for hegemony.
If you don't come, you won't be playing with Beauxbatons.
Whether you can win is one thing, but if you don't even dare to go, that's another matter.
In this way, Beauxbatons, who is isolated, will surely fall into the disadvantage of public opinion and bear a reputation that he does not dare to fight against. In that case, it is better to go forward and take third place.
And this was exactly the method originally planned to deal with Hogwarts. Who would have thought that two hidden allies would backstab him first? It has to be said that it is full of irony.
Besides, Hogwarts also said that Beauxbatons is not weak at all and Durmstrang is not a big problem.
So Madame Maxime, who was threatened, angrily agreed to restart the Triwizard Tournament immediately.
He was angry, but Karkaroff, who had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, suddenly stood up, which was really abnormal.
If something abnormal happens, there must be an abnormal reason.
There must be someone involved in this.
If we talk about Europe's biggest troublemaker in the past century, it must be Durmstrang's graduate alumnus Deringow.
Next up is Dumbledore's good student, Tom Riddle.
It just so happens that Voldemort has a deep relationship with Karkaroff...
The key points are about to come out, not to say that they are 100% certain, but at least they are almost inseparable.
"Mr. Riddle is really persistent."
Even though he was divided between friend and foe, Ani still had some admiration for Voldemort in his heart.
No matter what the circumstances were, Voldemort never bowed his head and always looked for opportunities to rise again. Regardless of his magical talent, he was definitely the best in the world in terms of his determination.
"Tom has always been a man who never gives up, if..."
Dumbledore looked at the unlit fireplace, but what he thought of was the stubborn boy by the fire.
And Ani looked at the crooked women's pointed wizard hat on the hanger, and what appeared in front of his eyes was Moody leaning on his cane.
It is certainly a happy thing to see that the old Auror has not been replaced by Crouch Jr. But considering that there is no Voldemort curse absorber this year, this happiness has to be discounted.
But...
"With Tom's character, he will definitely follow. Maybe he can give Bellatrix, Crouch Jr., Dolohov and others limited trust, but there is absolutely no Karkaroff name in this circle."
On this point, Aini dares to assert that it would be difficult for anyone else to find any trustworthy qualities in Karkaroff, let alone the suspicious Voldemort.
Dumbledore nodded in approval. Karkaroff had recruited many people after he was caught by Moody, and it was because of him that Snape was exposed.
"And if you want to control an uneasy person, what's a safer way than to 'become one'?"
The little fox and the old fox looked at each other and smiled, as if they were grabbing a plump cock.
The two discussed it for a while and came to the same idea.
…
In his reply to the Ministry of Magic the next day, Dumbledore readily agreed to the proposal to hold the Triwizard Tournament, but asked Ludo to convey a small additional request to Durmstrang.
That afternoon, Bagman received a positive reply from the other party.
As a result, the countdown to the Triwizard Tournament has officially begun.
In the evening, Dumbledore announced the news and informed that personnel from the other two schools would come to Hogwarts in October and jointly hold a ceremony to select the participating warriors on Halloween.
The auditorium was filled with excitement, and the "little" disappointment of pausing Quidditch suddenly became insignificant compared to it.
Even the Quidditch fanatic Harry Potter is like this, and even the scene of the Triwizard Tournament in the dream world squeezes out the former's scene.
But the news announced at the dinner was more than that. Another decision was also important news that had not been heard in a century.
Alastor Moody resigned from his position as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts to take full charge of the newly opened dueling course.
The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is an outsider, Durmstrang's headmaster Igor Karkaroff.
Amid the uproar of the little wizard, the corners of Aini's mouth turned up slightly.
