In the center of the celebration below, Hermione's anxious heart was suddenly wrapped in warmth, and the corners of her mouth naturally curved into a charming arc, and then...
Then Ron regained his composure and threw it out again.
Under the boy's blank gaze, Hermione stood up neatly and responded to the cheers and celebrations of the crowd.
She took a few steps toward the teacher's desk, then turned back and waved to everyone.
Suddenly, the applause on the four long tables became even more enthusiastic.
"I knew it! Hermione is a good child... very good!"
Flitwick stood on the chair and applauded, that was his most proud student.
Other professors also expressed their support. Regardless of their stance, what teacher wouldn’t like smart and good students?
What's more, Hermione is also the president of the club. Just think about the treatment of the president of the university student union.
Even Dumbledore had a satisfied smile on his face, not dissatisfied at all with the fact that the little witch had crossed the age barrier.
The age line he drew was originally a kind of protection. There were not many people who knew the rules for selecting warriors in the Goblet of Fire, and Dumbledore was just one of them.
Compared with hard power, extraordinary talent is more in line with the standards of a warrior, even if the opponent is just a young wizard who has just entered school.
Therefore, the barrier set up by Dumbledore is difficult for students, but not so difficult for outstanding wizards who can pass N.E.W.T.s with high scores.
The old man watched the girl cross the teacher's desk with a smile. Excellent and non-conformist students were exactly the type he loved.
In the eyes of everyone, Hermione walked confidently into the auditorium compartment with steady steps, but little did they know that the sweat in the girl's clenched hands was almost dripping down.
God, she was not mentally prepared at all. Who put her name into the Goblet of Fire?
Aini looked around at the performance of everyone around him, and subconsciously rubbed a fur ball with his hands.
Jerry lay on Aini's lap and made a snowflake shape, transmitting the memories in his mind - which recorded all the scenes in the foyer from the placement of the Goblet of Fire to its removal.
Too normal.
Whether it was in the auditorium or the process of everyone coming into contact with the Goblet of Fire, some were normal and some were abnormal.
Ani repeatedly checked Jerry's memory, every person who entered the hall, every piece of parchment put in, every reaction to the Goblet of Fire...
Everything happened naturally and there was no doubt about it.
But this is the biggest doubt.
Ani had asked Dumbledore before that the Goblet of Fire was not just a tool for selecting warriors, it also shouldered a more important task.
The Triwizard Tournament is not just a show for a few magic schools to show off their muscles. It is an opportunity in itself and part of a large-scale ceremony.
In other words, it is the first link in the ritual chain.
The Goblet of Fire is the core of the ceremony. When people put a piece of paper with their name on it, they are deemed to have signed a contract. Afterwards, the Goblet will select the three contracts that best meet the standards for strengthening, targeting the three warriors participating in the competition.
.
It is not impossible to interfere, but the Goblet of Fire will have some abnormal reactions during the process.
Besides, Jerry's perceptual ability is very good. Unless Voldemort regains his strength and comes in person, it will be difficult for him to silently do anything in front of the brown-skinned mouse.
It is more likely that before the cup was placed in the hall, the note with Hermione's name was already inside.
Dumbledore was still speaking, while Ani was waiting for the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament.
Harry Potter.
In the original track, Dumbledore looked stunned when he took the parchment with Harry's name on it, but whether this was a performance or a performance is quite intriguing.
Ani was waiting for this scene to happen, but until Dumbledore and Maxim walked to the back compartment, the Goblet of Fire failed to spit out the fourth piece of paper.
"Peace is blessing." Aini said softly, and his eyes moved to Harry. The boy was looking longingly at the back of the teacher's chair. In the compartment were the three elected warriors.
What Harry didn't know was that if Ani hadn't come to break the original trajectory, he would have been one of them, winning victories and gaining honors again and again.
Then...will experience more powerlessness, Cedric, Black, Dumbledore, Snape, Fred, Lupin...
Perhaps without those touching stories, Harry's halo as a savior would gradually fade, but thinking about it, even if he knew everything, he would definitely be happy with his current life.
Withdrawing his gaze from Harry, Ani followed the others to the cubicle. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was quite subtle.
Krum was talking to Hermione enthusiastically, completely ignoring the other beautiful girl next to him. This made Fleur, who had been the center of attention since she was a child, a little unhappy. She didn't like the other girl.
Hermione was the same way. She didn't like the voluptuous and beautiful Fleur at all. As for the reason... maybe it was the plate of fish soup that was taken away? Or something else, who knows.
However, it was not Fleur who made her feel uncomfortable in the room, but Klum, who was very enthusiastic about her.
The young seeker was like a male peacock who only found the target. He kept telling Hermione all kinds of "interesting stories", which annoyed her greatly.
So when Dumbledore stepped into the door, the girl hurried forward as if seeing a savior, and then had to take a few steps back to make room for the others to come in.
Dumbledore nodded gently to Hermione, and after Fleur and Krum also stood up, he turned sideways and moved away from the front.
The two Ministry of Magic officials exchanged several glances...
"Okay, let me do it."
Bagman walked up to Dumbledore and waved to the three warriors, "Listen, there are only two tips about the first project.
First of all, it will be held on November 24th on time.
Then, the content of the first project... is kept secret!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bagman burst into laughter, feeling that he was very humorous.
This "just right" restraint made the three young wizards clenched their fists, and the adult wizards in the room were also speechless. Mr. Weasley, who was accompanying him, quietly tugged on Bagman's robe, telling him to restrain himself.
After the World Cup, Bagman was chased around by goblins and a group of other people with the same suffix, and there were surprises everywhere.
Now that he had finally entered Hogwarts and could stay here for a long time, his tense heart suddenly relaxed, and Bagman let himself go.
"By the way, there's one more thing -" Bagman suddenly added. The three of them quickly raised their ears to absorb the information, and then heard him continue: "-You can't ask for or accept any help from the teacher.
Once discovered, you will be immediately disqualified."
