Witcher at Hogwarts - Chapter 310
“Dumbledore!” the man shouted enthusiastically as he walked up the slope. “How are you, my dear old man?”
“Excellent, thank you, Professor Karkaroff.” Dumbledore also replied with a smile.
Karkaroff’s voice was mellow and sweet, and his face was full of smiles, but there was no smile in his eyes, it was still cold and sharp.
His eyes flicked around, and soon saw Ethan.
Ethan noticed Karkaroff’s subtle emotions, and the moment he saw Ethan, it was as if his eyes were scalded by red-hot charcoal.
Quickly withdrew his gaze, which made Ethan quickly realize that Karkaroff probably knew himself through a certain aspect.
Then Dumbledore began to introduce Karkaroff to the professors of Hogwarts.
Soon, Dumbledore introduced Ethan.
“Hello, Professor Ethan.” Karkaroff stretched out his hand unnaturally and shook hands with Ethan.
Ethan noticed that Karkaroff’s fingers were very cold.
“Hello, welcome to Hogwarts.” Ethan said politely to Karkaroff.
“Thank you, Professor Ethan.” Karkaroff didn’t seem to want to talk to Ethan too much.
After saying hello to Ethan, he quickly left Ethan.
Then Karkaroff couldn’t wait to bring his students and his group into Hogwarts quickly.
“My God! Viktor Krum!” Suddenly someone in the Hogwarts student group exclaimed.
Then the group of students quickly became noisy, and everyone stuck their heads out noisily.
Looking at a boy with a striking hooked nose and two thick, dark eyebrows.
It seemed that the boy was some kind of star, and the name Viktor Klum sounded familiar to Ethan.
Ethan quickly realized that Viktor Klum was the star player who participated in the Quidditch World Cup a few days ago.
But Ethan had absolutely no interest in any Quidditch star.
After students from both schools entered Hogwarts, Ethan followed.
At this time, the Hogwarts Hall was extremely lively.
The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were sitting at the long tables of the four houses at this time, and they were discussing something with the students of Hogwarts.
There were also several more chairs on the professor’s chair. At this time, Slughorn was chatting with Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim with a red face.
Ethan even saw a few officials from the Ministry of Magic, Ludo Bagman and a very strong-looking man with short, straight gray-white hair that looked serious.
Ethan quickly recognized that this man was Delixi.
Delix was originally an Auror and also a close associate of Fudge. After Barty Crouch fell, Delix was assigned by Fudge to serve as the acting director of the International Magical Cooperation Department.
The rules for the Goblet of Fire competition are organized by the Department of International Magical Cooperation.
So Delix came to Hogwarts today.
Ethan smiled and walked towards the two.
Originally, Ludo Bagman and Delix were talking about something.
Seeing Ethan coming, the faces of the two of them turned pale in unison.
This made Ethan feel a little strange, and Ludo Bagman was understandably afraid of himself Ethan.
After all, Ludo Bagman still owes Ethan a huge sum of money.
But why Dulix was afraid of himself, Ethan didn’t understand so well.
In fact, Ethan has had this doubt for a long time.
Since the nickname of the butcher of Knockturn Alley was spread, and he carried out a series of arrests at the Ministry of Magic.
More and more people started to be afraid of Ethan.
Although Tonks has been promoting to everyone that Ethan is actually a gentle and friendly, kind and sincere person.
But this didn’t work.
Ethan still doesn’t understand why everyone is afraid of themselves.
“How are you all, Professor Ethan.” Ludo Bagman greeted Ethan in a dry tone.
His eyes fluttered from side to side, as if he was looking for an escape route for himself.
“Hello, Ethan.” Delixi also pretended to be calm and greeted Ethan.
Ethan responded politely to the two of them one by one.
And after chatting a few words with the two, I saw that Ethan did not ask himself to collect debts.
Ludo Bagman’s face finally looked better, and Delix’s expression relaxed a lot.
The three did not talk for long, and the welcome dinner was about to begin.
Dumbledore stood up. A feeling of excitement and tension seemed to pervade the auditorium.
Everyone stared intently at Dumbledore, waiting for him to speak.
“The time has finally come,” said Dumbledore, smiling at the sullen faces.
“The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I’d like to explain a few words before I get the box in.”
Then Dumbledore introduced Delix and Ludo Bagman to everyone.
Following Dumbledore’s introduction, both of them stood up and greeted everyone.
At this moment, Ludo Bagman had an odd look on his face, which was somewhere between nostalgia and regret.
Ethan thought about it and quickly understood why Ludo Bagman was like this.
Ludo Bagman was once a very popular hitter, but due to physical and age reasons, Ludo Bagman eventually retired.
This scene of everyone cheering and applauding him probably reminded Ludo Bagman of his golden years again.
“Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Delix have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament,” Dumbledore continued.
“They will form a jury with me, Professor Karkaroff and Madame Maxime to judge the efforts of the warriors!”
Hearing the word “Warrior”, the eyes of many students lit up, and everyone looked at Dumbledore excitedly, waiting for his next words.
Dumbledore also seemed to notice their sudden silence~www.mtlnovel.com~ and he smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Filch, please bring the box up.”
No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the Great Hall just now, and now he was walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels, which looked very old.
“The specific items of this year’s Warriors’ competition have been carefully reviewed by Mr. Delix and Mr. Bagman.” The wooden box was placed on the stage in front of Dumbledore.
This old wooden box caught the attention of everyone present.
“They also made a lot of the necessary arrangements for each project. There are three projects in total, which are carried out at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many different ways – their abilities in magic – their Courage and their reasoning abilities, of course, and their ability to overcome danger.”
“You already know that there will be three warriors in the game,” Dumbledore continued calmly.
“Representing one participating school. We will grade them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event, and after the three events are over, the Warriors with the highest scores will win the Trifecta Cup. The Warriors are selected by an impartial selector, It’s the Goblet of Fire.”
