"This is because a large event will start in October and continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and energy - but I am sure you will all have a lot of fun doing it. I am very happy to say that
Announced, this year at Hogwarts——"
Just when Dumbledore was about to make an announcement, the door to the auditorium suddenly opened with a bang. A figure appeared in the doorway, and then a bolt of lightning flashed across, accompanied by deafening thunder, and everyone could see him clearly.
Appearance.
He was carrying a long cane and was wrapped in a black traveling cloak. When he took off the hood on his head, he revealed his long gray hair.
He looked up at all the people who were looking at him, and then began to walk towards the long table where the faculty and staff were. Every step he took, he hit the ground hard with his crutch, making an echoing sound of thump, thump, thump.
.
And when lightning flashed across his face again, almost everyone who was looking at him took a breath. What kind of face was that? It was like it was on a piece of rotten wood.
It's a sculpture, not a real human face.
In fact, this is what Mad-Eye Moody really looks like. Not only his face, but every inch of skin on his body seems to be scarred. That is the honor and pain left to him by the war, and the war has brought him
It’s much more than that.
In one of his eye sockets, there was a magical prosthetic eye moving. In Rove's sight, the magic eye was emitting a light blue light and was constantly moving in Moody's eye socket.
Active.
Of course, Rolf also saw an orange magical effect acting on 'Moody'. It was the magical effect brought by Polyjuice Potion, which disguised Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody.
.
I saw 'Moody' walking up to Dumbledore step by step, and then stretched out a hand towards him. That hand was as scarred as the rest of 'Moody''s body, and Dumbledore shook it.
Moody's hand, and then whispered something to him.
Then Rove watched Crouch Jr. start his performance. Like a real Moody, he sat down in the seat belonging to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Then he pulled a plate of sausages and tried several times.
After that, he took out a magic knife and started eating.
What neither Dumbledore nor Crouch Jr. knew was that the moment Crouch Jr. sat down, a strange magic fell on him.
This magic is neither a curse nor a blessing, but more like a variation of the combination of the two. Rove guessed that this was the so-called curse given to the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher by Voldemort, which is indeed very interesting. p>
But 'Moody' knew nothing about this and was still looking at the teachers and students of Hogwarts with his magic eye. It seemed that he had indeed mastered the use of this eye, and it was no more real than it was.
The owner used it differently.
"Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody."
Just when the hall fell into silence, Dumbledore's cheerful voice once again broke the dull atmosphere, trying to make everyone active again.
But unfortunately, he seems to have failed. Normally, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome him. But now, except for Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauds.
After Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped their hands a few times, they found that the applause seemed lonely in the silent auditorium, so they put down their hands knowingly.
The Moody disguised as Crouch Jr. didn't care about this. He was still eating his own dinner, and took out a curved wine bottle from his cloak and took a big sip. p>
When he raised his arm to drink, Luofu sniffed and smelled a smell that was very similar to wine. At that time, he knew that this was not the aroma of real wine, but a compound soup with a personal flavor.
The taste of potion.
"This is really interesting. Is it such a coincidence?"
And just as Rolf was talking to himself, Dumbledore also spoke to himself again. After discovering that everyone was not interested in the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he continued what he said before.
Topic.
"As I just said, over the next few months we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy to report that the top three
The Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year!"
"You're kidding!"
Before Dumbledore could finish his words, Fred Weasley's voice rang out, completely breaking up the tense atmosphere that had enveloped the auditorium since Moody entered.
Almost everyone started laughing, and Dumbledore also chuckled in appreciation. This is why he likes the Weasley brothers, even if they cause him a lot of trouble.
"I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley," he said, "but since you mentioned joking, I did hear a very funny joke about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun. They all
Entered the same pub..."
"Ahem..."
Seeing Dumbledore start to go off topic as if he was having Alzheimer's disease, Professor McGonagall quickly cleared his throat and reminded him that he should talk about the real thing at this time. So Dumbledore smiled awkwardly, and then spoke again. p>
"Where did I just say it? Ah, by the way, the Triwizard Tournament... Some of you still don't know what this tournament is about, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for a little bit.
Explain."
"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmster
Lang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is a competition between young wizards from different countries.
A great way to build friendship - but later, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."
"Over the centuries, people have tried several times to revive the Tournament," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports believe that another attempt is a must.
The time has come. We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that every warrior will not encounter life-threatening danger."
"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected contenders, and the ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete.
Triwizard Cup, win honor for your school, and personally receive a thousand Galleons bonus!"
