Witcher at Hogwarts - Chapter 313
When Ethan walked into the auditorium, he saw that the entire auditorium was now lit up by candles.
The auditorium was almost full, and the Goblet of Fire had been moved, and it was now standing in front of Dumbledore’s empty chair on the professor’s chair.
Ethan then took his seat as all the tables were piled with delicious treats for Halloween.
Different from the previous delicacies, because of the large number of foreign students, there are many more exotic flavors on the table this time.
Ethan is now eating a bowl of french miscellaneous fish soup.
It’s a pity that most students nowadays don’t have the heart to enjoy the delicious food in front of them. Most of them are restless and staring at the Goblet of Fire in the distance with an urgent look.
Everyone is eager to know who the Warriors’ pick is.
Finally, the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, and the voices in the auditorium suddenly increased a lot.
Immediately, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again.
Karkaroff and Madame Maxime on either side of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else.
Ludo Bagman smiled and winked at students from various schools.
Dulix didn’t care much about all this, he stared at the table and didn’t know what to think.
“Okay, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision,” Dumbledore said. “I estimate it will take a minute. Listen, after the warriors’ names are announced, I want them to go to the top of the auditorium and walk along the staff table. Go over, go into the room next door one by one”
He pointed to the door behind the instructor’s desk. “You’ll get initial guidance there.”
Dumbledore patiently explained the process to the students.
Then Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it sharply. Immediately, except for the candles in the jack-o-lantern, all the candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-darkness.
The Goblet of Fire was shining brightly now, brighter than anything in the entire auditorium, and the blue-and-white flames of sparks were dazzling.
Everyone watched and waited, and several people kept looking at their watches.
The flames in the goblet suddenly turned red again, and the crackling sparks spattered.
Then, a flame of flame shot into the air, and a piece of charred parchment flew out from it, and everyone in the auditorium held their breath.
Dumbledore caught the parchment and held it far away so that he could read the writing on it by the light of the flame, which was now blue-white again.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was extremely tense and silent, and many students even felt that they were suffocating.
“Durmstrong’s champion,” said Dumbledore in a clear, forceful tone, “is Victor Krum.”
Applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium. Krum’s selection was actually a welcome one, and everyone hoped that Durmstrang’s brightest star would be selected.
Krum also seemed very happy. He stood up with his head held high and went to the inner room along the prescribed route.
The applause and conversation died down, and now everyone’s attention was on the goblet again, and after a few seconds the flames turned red again.
The second parchment leaped out of the cup, propelled by the flames.
“The champion of Beauxbatons,” said Dumbledore, “is Fleur Delacour!”
The cheers this time were much smaller than the cheers when Krum was selected, and even several female students in Bubbaston burst into tears.
Only Furong’s younger sister Gabriel clapped her hands happily and congratulated her sister.
Fleur rose gracefully, tossed her silver hair, and walked lightly between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.
When passing by Ethan, Furong nodded to Ethan.
It caught the suspicious eyes of Professor McGonagall, Professor Slughorn, and Professor Snape.
This is due to rumors outside. I don’t know what happened. Recently, there are rumors in the magic world that Ethan is completely a playboy.
There are always all kinds of young and beautiful girls around.
But now that the professors have no time to question Ethan, the quiet hall is filled with a strong excitement that can be tasted, and it is the turn of the Hogwarts warriors one by one.
At this moment, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks splattered, and the tongue of fire soared high into the air, and Dumbledore drew a third parchment from the tip of the tongue.
“The Warriors of Hogwarts,” he exclaimed, “it’s Cedric Diggory!”
The huge cheers were so deafening that they almost knocked the roof off the auditorium, and every Hufflepuff classmate was jumping up and down, screaming and stomping.
Hufflepuff, who had always been a little transparent, was now showing a big face, which made the little beasts not excited.
Then Cedric walked past them, smiling brightly, toward the room behind the staff’s desk.
Indeed, the applause for Cedric went on for a long time before Dumbledore quieted the crowd and listened to him.
Ethan also relaxed. He thought that he had solved all the troubles, and there should be no accidents.
“Great!” Dumbledore exclaimed happily when the noise finally subsided, “Okay, now our three warriors have been chosen.”
“I know I can count on all of you, including Beauxbatons and the rest of Durmstrang’s classmates, to give you your all to support your warriors.”
“You will also make a great contribution to this event by cheering on the Warriors -” when Dumbledore was about to sum up the whole thing.
The accident happened suddenly.
The flame in the goblet turned red again. The sparks crackled and sputtered.
Dumbledore turned his head suddenly, staring at the abnormally shaped Goblet of Fire.
And Ethan also stood up directly, his eyes locked tightly on the Goblet of Fire, he didn’t understand why such a thing happened, obviously all the Death Eaters outside had been caught by himself.
A long tongue of flame suddenly jumped into the air from the Goblet of Fire, and a piece of parchment was held on it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Dumbledore seemed to subconsciously stretch out a slender hand and grab the parchment. .
He held it far away, staring at the name written on it, and there was a long silence, Dumbledore staring at the note in his hand, and everyone in the hall staring at Dumbledore.
Ethan’s eyes were firmly locked on the note, and the heat of his eyes almost burned through the note.
Dumbledore stared blankly at the note, his expression a little stunned, this was the first time Ethan saw Dumbledore show such an expression.
But Dumbledore quickly reacted, calmed down, and focused on the note again.
Then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud – “Neville Longbottom”
A dead silence suddenly filled the entire hall. Hogwarts students, look at me, I see you don’t understand what’s going on.
The students in the remaining two schools did not understand what happened, but based on the performance of the Hogwarts students, they also knew that something terrible had happened.
