Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 571 Conclusion
Karkaroff posed the question to two senior officials from the British Ministry of Magic. Faced with his question, Bagman showed great excitement. He was ready to express his views, but his eyes touched Armor. Star Brain's expressionless face made Bagman dumbfounded, so he looked at Barty Crouch cautiously.

Hermione immediately set her sights on Crouch. She didn't expect that her fate would actually fall into the hands of this Ministry of Magic official she hated.

Mr. Crouch stood outside the circle of fire, his face half hidden in shadow.He looked a little weird. The black half made him look much older, almost like a skeleton.But when he spoke, it was as stiff as ever.

"Amosta is right. Hermione Granger has no other choice. We must also abide by the charter. The charter clearly stipulates that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition. "

"That's it!"

Ludo Bagman said, with a smile on his face and looking back at Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim, it seemed that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

"If it must be this way!"

Karkaroff seemed to have learned the essence of Crouch's tone of voice. His voice no longer smooth and became stiff, the smile on his face disappeared, and veins popped up on the back of his clenched fists.
"You have to put the Goblet of Fire out again, and we have to keep adding names to it until there are two warriors from each school. This is only fair, Blaine!"

"But Karkaroff, I'm afraid this won't work-"

Neither Amostar nor Dumbledore expressed their opinions, so Bagman said awkwardly,
"The Goblet of Fire has just been extinguished - it will not be ignited until the next tournament -"

There was a moment of silence, and Fleur turned her gaze to Amosta, who looked solemn, while Viktor looked at Hermione.He quite liked the witch at Hogwarts.On the night of the World Cup final, this little witch fought against a dark wizard who was much more powerful than her in the box, which is enough to illustrate her bravery.

As for the real warrior of Hogwarts - Cedric Diggory, he is a little at a loss now, as if everyone in the room doesn't particularly care about him.

"--Durmstrang will never participate in the next hegemonic tournament!"

Karkaroff was furious;

"We had so many meetings, Blaine, and after all the negotiations and negotiation, I never thought something like this would happen again! I just want to leave right now!"

"The door to Hogwarts is always open, Karkaroff, you can leave at any time, but your warrior must stay -"

Amosta said coldly,

"Just like Miss Granger, I cannot stand by and watch Mr. Krum become a squib due to the backlash of the Goblet of Fire's contract."

Karkaroff's face suddenly turned red. He stared at Amosta and said through gritted teeth,
"You are threatening me, Brian. I swear I will sue the federation. Don't think that just because you are the vice-president, you will be immune from punishment for work mistakes!"

"Bluffing threats, Karkaroff!"

A voice growled at the door,

"You won't give up the competition at all, Karkaroff. I keep hearing you complain, as if you are the biggest victim, but the real victim has not said a word for himself until now!"

Moody limped up to Karkaroff, making a loud noise every time his right foot landed.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't understand you--"

Karkaroff subconsciously took a step back. Then, he realized that so many people were looking at him, so he took another step forward and said angrily,

"Aren't Durmstrang and Beauxbatons victims? And what does 'real victims' mean?"

"I know what you think!"

Moody said loudly,
"You still wonder who at Hogwarts threw Hermione Granger's name into the Goblet of Fire, so that Hogwarts got two chances!"

"Is not it?"

Madame Maxime raised her chin and said angrily.

Perhaps because of Mrs. Maxim's response, Professor Moody showed restraint, but the contempt for this argument in his tone was audible to everyone.

"Everyone knows that Miss Hermione Granger is just an underage witch. If the person who did this is really going to give Hogwarts a second chance, why doesn't he choose someone who looks like he can win? ?”

Moody's two blue eyes, one big and one small, were fixed on Karkaroff, and he showed a terrible smile, "As far as I can see, there are only two possibilities. Either the person who did this has a deep hatred for Miss Granger. He wanted her to die in the projects, either."

Moody's tone became more dangerous;
"Miss Granger is just an innocent person who was implicated. The person who did this has a problem with Hogwarts and wants to see Hogwarts in big trouble. If she loses her life, Hogwarts will be in trouble." What a joke, right? We got two warriors, and one of them died——"

Hermione's scalp suddenly became numb, and she felt Professor McGonagall, who was holding her shoulders, also grab her arm hard at this moment,
"Dumbledore, Amosta, are we-"

The firelight shone on Professor McGonagall's face, emblazoning her heart-wrenching expression vividly and delicately, "Think of another way to safely remove Granger from the position of warrior?"

Karkaroff obviously understood what Moody was implying, and he was about to refute it loudly, but Professor McGonagall's words made him quiet for a moment. If there is really a way to make this person know that it is a mud at a glance. It would be best if the annoying little girl gets out of the competition.

"There will be a way--"

What Dumbledore said shocked everyone. Is there really a way to prevent Granger from becoming a warrior without being abolished?So what are they arguing about now?Is Dumbledore just seeing a joke?
Even Amosta's brow moved slightly.

"If we unanimously agree to destroy the Goblet of Fire, then the backlash of the magical contract will cease to exist, Miss Granger can safely withdraw from the Contest project, and we can continue to identify the remaining three warriors."

Dumbledore looked at Amosta calmly.

Amosta's eyelids twitched as he understood what Dumbledore meant.

Destroy the Goblet of Fire? !

Even Karkaroff, who was dancing the most cheerfully, fell silent. In his opinion, Dumbledore was undoubtedly joking.The Goblet of Fire is an extremely valuable magical prop and historical relic. Neither the Ministry of Magic nor the International Federation of Wizards will agree. However, if Dumbledore insists on doing so,
Moody's magic eye was almost blocked because of Dumbledore's abrupt plan. He never expected that his speculation would lead to this result.

"I will never allow—"

Barty Crouch straightened his stooped body for the first time tonight. Instead of looking at Dumbledore, he walked out of the firelight and stared at Karkaroff with a scary look.
"The Goblet of Fire has been a valuable prop that has been passed down for many centuries. I will not allow it to be destroyed after it has been used for the first time in centuries. The Ministry of Magic will definitely not allow this plan!"

Karkaroff was frightened by Crouch's eyes. He was full of grievances and licked his lips a few times, as if he was defending that he was not the one who proposed the plan.

"If you think it's unfair, Karkaroff, Madame Maxime, then we all agree that the final score for Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory and Hermione Granger. average score, that’s the solution, everyone has to play!”

"According to your theory, it's Dumbledore who should complain now, right?"

The moment Crouch finished speaking, Moody smiled ferociously at Karkaroff.
"No one would think that underage little witches can perform well in the competition. Hogwarts now has too many people holding it back!"

Lagging behind
Even though Hermione was pretending to be so worried right now, she still took the time to get angry for a little while over Professor Moody's words.
Dumbledore's and Amosta's eyes met for a very brief moment, and then separated.

"Hogwarts has no objection--"

Amosta said calmly.

"Then how should we explain it to the public?"

Ludo Bagman asked happily.

"The new regulations of the Triwizard Tournament -" Amosta glanced at Bagman, "the host school can have two warriors."

Amosta looked at Professor Karkaroff whose face turned red again.

"This article can be kept as a rule, Professor Karkaroff. I hope this will keep you in high spirits when the next competition organizes the evaluation -"
