Log In to The Old Man Ring At Hogwarts at the Start

Seeing that 'Moody' and Madame Maxime are about to quarrel.

Dumbledore hurriedly interrupted: "What is the specific situation, I have to ask them again."

"Let's go."

Dumbledore greeted everyone present and walked towards the room by the side door.

At this time, in the room by the side door, Hermione was chatting with Fleur.

Although they became warriors in their respective schools, they did not become hostile to each other because of their rivalry.

The two were talking happily when they turned around and saw Harry walking in.

"Harry? How did you get in?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I seem to be the fourth warrior," Harry replied.

There was confusion in Harry's tone, he still hadn't figured out why his name was in the Goblet of Fire.

Hermione heard the words and was about to say - something.

Dumbledore walked in with a group of professors, the two principals of the two schools, Crouch Sr., and Zicomo.

Dumbledore hurried to Harry and asked him, "Harry, did you throw your name into the Goblet of Fire?"

"No, Professor," Harry replied.

"That's why you asked someone to vote for you?"

Dumbledore said, turning to look at Zicomo.

"Look at what I'm doing? What am I going to do with Harry's name in it? Is it any good for me?

Zicomo shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Dumbledore had almost forgotten that the man in front of him belonged to the kind of person who couldn't afford to be too early.

He didn't think Harry had enough interest to call Zicomo.

Before Dumbledore could say anything, Madam Maxime asked Zicomo first, "How do you explain this little witch?"35

"How to explain what? Dumbledore also said before that even if you are underage, as long as you can break through the restrictions, you are still eligible to participate. 35

Zicomo replied: "Besides, Hermione put her name in in front of all the students. Do you doubt that she can cheat in front of so many people?"

Madame Maximo was speechless by Zicomo, but she still didn't want to give up.

She turned to Harry and said, "That's why he lied, he must have used some shady tricks."

"Harry wasn't lying."

'Moody' stepped up and retorted: "The Goblet of Fire has super magical powers, and only a very powerful Confusion Charm can deceive it. I don't think Harry has that ability.

He originally wanted to say that fourth graders couldn't have this magic power.

But he suddenly thought that there seemed to be two people in front of him who could do it.

"You seem to be well aware of this, Mad-Eye?"

Karkaroff looked at 'Moody' suspiciously.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

When Karkaroff was a Death Eater, he was hunted by "Mad Eye" Moody for six months before being captured and sent to Azkaban.

So Karkaroff knows "Mad Eye" Moody very well.

And there seems to be something wrong with this 'Moody' performance today.

Of course, he didn't suspect that the 'Moody' was fake, Karkaroff just thought that 'Moody' might be hiding something.

"My job once required me to think like a dark wizard, Karkaroff, haven't you forgotten?"

'Moody' was full of hints, staring straight at Karkaroff.

I have to say that Barty Crouch Jr. is still good at imitating others.

The Alastor Moody he pretended to be was very expressive, and with just one sentence and one look, he evoked those unhappy memories of Karkaroff.

This made Karkaroff dare not say anything more.

"That doesn't solve anything, Alastor."

Dumbledore walked up to old Crouch and said, "You decide, Barty. 99

Old Crouch was controlled by Barty Crouch Jr. with the Imperius Curse and made the final decision.

"The rules cannot be changed, and the choice of the Goblet of Fire must be followed and cannot be changed. Mr. Potter has no choice. As of tonight, he is a champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

Harry looked bewildered at this moment, as if no one had asked his opinion yet?

He didn't say what Triwizard Tournament he was going to participate in!

I heard that if you are not careful in this game, you will be killed. He is young, but he does not want to die young!

Harry looked at Zicomo for help, hoping he could say a few words for himself.

Seeing Harry's gaze, Zicomo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Life is like that, if you can't resist, enjoy it. At least you have a chance to help Hogwarts to glory, don't you?

"But didn't you say this game is very dangerous and could even kill people?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, if you participate in the competition with your strength, you will get injured at most. Think about the Quidditch matches in previous years, when did you not get injured?" Zicomo comforted.

With Zicomo's comfort, Harry's unease dissipated a lot.

Crouch's decision was undoubtedly unfair to the remaining two schools.

So after he explained the precautions for participating in the Triwizard Tournament, the principals of the other two schools left here with their warriors indignant.

Dumbledore told Harry to go back to his room to rest first, while Zicomo and Hermione were left behind.

Also left behind are Snape, Professor McGonagall, and 'Moody'.

'Moody' tensed when he heard that Dumbledore had left Zicomo behind, for fear that the matter would be more complicated.

Dumbledore didn't know what 'Moody' was thinking, he just left Zicomo with some doubts.

Dumbledore looked at Zicomo and asked, "You really didn't do anything on the Goblet of Fire?

Zicomo rolled his eyes and said, "Really not."

"Then may I ask how Hermione got her name into the Goblet of Fire?"

Hearing this question, Professor McGonagall looked over with the same curiosity.

For her disciple to become a warrior at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was very happy and curious about how Hermione did it.

As for Hermione's safety, she was not worried. Professor McGonagall had already seen Hermione's strength last semester.

That is definitely not inferior to the level of most professors at Hogwarts.

At the beginning of this semester, Professor McGonagall put Hermione to the test again with the idea of ​​checking whether Hermione had regressed over the past summer.

As a result, she found that Hermione's strength had improved to a certain extent.

・・For flowers・0

I heard that Hermione followed Zicomo on a trip to the mysterious East during the summer vacation, so it must have been some kind of adventure.

"It's not as complicated as you think."

"For some reason, Hermione is now 17 years old," Zicomo explained.

"It won't have any ill effects on Hermione, will it?" Professor McGonagall asked with concern.

Professor McGonagall had no children in her life. Since taking Hermione as her apprentice, she has already treated Hermione as her daughter.

For Hermione to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, Professor McGonagall was not worried because she knew that Hermione had the strength.

But after hearing that Hermione had suddenly grown a few years older for some reason, she began to worry about whether it would affect Hermione in any way.

"Don't worry, it's good for Hermione, not bad," Zicomo replied.

Snape on the side probably knew what was going on.

He has been to Zicomo's "Zen Garden" and heard Zicomo talk about the flow of time.

0......

Combined with Hermione's studious temperament, it is not difficult to infer that Hermione is using the "Zen Garden" to study.

Sure enough, having the Philosopher's Stone is self-willed, and doesn't care about the lifespan consumption of the past two years.

Professor McGonagall was relieved to have Zicomo's assurance.

Then he turned to worry about Harry.

She turned to Dumbledore and said, "Albus, if Hermione was selected to Hogwarts through the normal route, then Harry's selection is definitely not normal. He doesn't even know why his name is in the Goblet of Fire.

"What are you trying to say, Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.

"Disqualify Harry, don't let him play.

"Batti has said that the rules cannot be changed."

"To hell with Barty and his rules! When did you start catering to the Ministry of Magic?"

Snape, on the other hand, disagreed with Professor McGonagall.

"I personally don't believe this is a coincidence either."5

Snape first agreed with Professor McGonagall.

"However, if we want to really know the truth, maybe we should let it go for a while," he said.

"What do you mean? Just letting it go, using him as bait? Professor McGonagall asked.

"Harry is a child, not a piece of meat!

Professor McGonagall was vehemently against it, it was too dangerous for Harry.

Dumbledore, however, preferred Snape's approach.

"I agree with Severus."

Dumbledore looked at Zicomo and said, "Zicomo, please look after Harry next."35

Zicomo shrugged and said, "It's fine to simply look after him, but I can't follow him all the time.

"Rest assured, you only need to help when necessary, and Professor Moody will be there for the rest of the time.

With that said, Dumbledore looked at 'Moody' and asked, "Alastor, is it okay for Harry to leave it to you?

"Of course no problem," replied 'Moody'.

He really wanted to say leave it to him alone.

With Zicomo around, 'Moody' was afraid that Zicomo would notice something and sabotage his master's plan.
