Ghost Rider's Judgment

Chapter 23 Triwizard Cup Warriors

After Wormtail left, Chen Qi stayed in his dormitory until late at night, when he walked out of the dormitory again.

Of course, it is forbidden to wander in the corridors of Hogwarts Castle at night. Although this prohibition is not explicitly prohibited for teachers, Snape has already caught him doing suspicious behavior once during the day. If he is caught again Wandering around at night is hard to explain.

Therefore, he used the Illusion Charm to hide himself. Although this also had certain flaws, it was even harder to explain if he was discovered.

But his goal tonight is the Goblet of Fire, so it's hard to explain even if he doesn't use the Disillusionment Curse.

I saw that after he cast the Illusion Curse, his body disappeared, and as long as the movement was small, he would not be noticed.

He quietly left the dormitory, passed several corners and corridors, and came to the Goblet of Fire.

The blue flame was still burning on the Goblet of Fire, and Chen Qi took out the note with Harry Potter's name on it that he had prepared in advance.

In order to prevent students under the age of 17 from casting their names in, Dumbledore specially placed a spell around the Goblet of Fire, but this trick was not difficult for Chen Qi, he found the solution to this trick in Little Barty's memory. The way of a spell.

Chen Qi dropped the prepared potion on the note with Harry's name on it, and then threw his name into the Goblet of Fire. If nothing else goes wrong, according to the plot, Harry will be selected successfully.

After doing this, Chen Qi left here and quietly returned to the dormitory.

The day to announce the names for the Triwizard Tournament finally arrived. This time the auditorium was extremely crowded because there were more students from the other two schools besides Hogwarts.

On the stage, the Goblet of Fire was still burning with blue flames, as if the magical blue fire had never been extinguished.

"Please sit down!" Dumbledore stretched out his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down.

After all the students calmed down, Dumbledore stood in the center of the students and said: "Now is the much-anticipated moment! Warrior Selection!"

After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hand, then walked towards the Goblet of Fire and touched the wall of the cup.

After Dumbledore's hand left, the blue fire in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned strangely pink. With a bang, as the flames burst out, the color changed to blue again.

A piece of paper flew out of the flames and fell into Dumbledore's hands.

"The champion of Durmstrang is Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore read the name on the piece of paper.

With a burst of applause, Krum walked forward and shook hands with Dumbledore, and then Dumbledore patted his shoulder and motioned for him to wait aside.

Next, students from two other colleges were selected in the same way, namely Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts.

Under the cheers of the crowd, the two stood together with Krum, which meant that the Triwizard Tournament would be chosen among the three of them.

"Excellent, now three warriors have been selected!" Dumbledore said loudly: "But in the end, only one can go down in history, and only one can lift this championship cup! This victory cup!"

While Dumbledore was speaking, Barty Crouch placed a championship cup covered with cloth on the stage.

"Triwizard Cup!" Dumbledore turned around suddenly and pointed at the Champions Cup.

The cloth of the Champions League suddenly opened, and a bright and shining Champions Cup was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

Looking at the Triwizard Cup that looked like a work of art, everyone roared with applause.

At this moment, Professor Snape, who was standing beside Chen Qi, seemed to notice something was wrong. He frowned and looked at the Goblet of Fire that was still burning.

Dumbledore seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He turned around and looked at the Goblet of Fire, and found that the flames in the goblet were burning violently again.

He walked forward hesitantly, and then the flame suddenly turned pink, and then another note flew out of the flame.

At this moment, the audience fell silent, and a fourth name appeared in the Goblet of Fire. This was something that had never appeared before.

For a moment, all the students began to whisper and discuss what was going on.

Dumbledore caught the note and read the name on it incredulously:
"Harry Potter."

As soon as the words came out, there was silence.

"Harry Potter?" Dumbledore began to look for Harry in the student seats.

But Harry sat blankly in his seat, with a look of disbelief on his face.

He clearly didn't throw the note into the Goblet of Fire, why did this happen?

"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore raised his voice and shouted loudly.

Hermione, who was sitting next to Harry, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, Harry!"

Harry didn't move.

"Go, Harry!" Hermione called Harry, pushing him up.

Finally, Harry slowly walked towards Dumbledore and took the note in his hand.

Afterwards, under everyone's surprised eyes, he walked towards the Triwizard Cup and the other three students who were selected.

"He cheated!"

"He's not even 17 yet!"

Everyone began to whisper, and some even shouted out their dissatisfaction on the spot.

After the selection, Harry came to Dumbledore's office. The selected students had to gather here first.

The door to the office opened automatically after sensing Harry's arrival. He walked into the office distractedly, and then heard the quarrel of several teachers.

"This is not fair!"

"You French guy."

"What are you looking at?"

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy."

"Quiet, I can't think anymore!"

"Everything is a conspiracy."

"I protest!"

"Harry!"

When Dumbledore saw Harry, he immediately ran forward and said to him anxiously: "Harry, you didn't throw your name into the Goblet of Fire!"

He grabbed Harry's shoulders with both hands and shook them wildly.

"No, no!" Harry said in horror.

"Didn't you ask your older classmates to help you put it in?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, sir!" Harry said hastily.

"Are you sure?" Dumbledore asked seriously.

"Yes, sir!" Harry answered truthfully.

Madame Maxime pushed away the chandelier in front of her and said sternly: "He must be lying!"

"He didn't!" Chen Qi immediately stepped forward and retorted.

As the initiator, he naturally needed to help Harry out at this time.

"The Goblet of Fire is a very powerful magic weapon. If you want to blind it, you need a particularly powerful confusion spell. Fourth-grade children don't have this ability."

Chen Qi's words are reasonable, but there are still people who want to argue with him.

"You seem to have used a lot of brains, Mad-Eye!" Karkaroff walked up to Chen Qi and said in a strong tone.

Not to be outdone, Chen Qi said in a gloomy tone: "I had to think like a dark wizard in my previous job, Karkaroff! You should have remembered this."

"Don't talk nonsense, Alastor!" At this moment, Barty suddenly interrupted.

Then Dumbledore said: "You decide, Barty!"

As the person in charge of the event, the final decision rests with Barty.

Barty thought for a moment and then said: "We must abide by the charter. The choice of the Goblet of Fire is magically bound."

He turned to look at Harry, and continued, "Mr. Potter has no choice. From tonight onwards, he will be the champion of the Triwizard Cup!"

Everyone present, including Chen Qi, turned to look at Harry.

However, no one noticed that Chen Qi was secretly relieved at this moment.
