Chapter 405 Luke's Suggestion
"If I remember correctly, the purpose of the Triumph is to promote friendship between young wizards between different countries. Although honors and bonuses are important, we cannot deviate from its original intention. Our principle should be friendship first and competition second." Luke said slowly.
"Yes, Mr. Coker is right, this is the true meaning of sports competition." Bagman is not stingy with his praise.
"Mr. Coker, you are right, but-" Ms. Maxim nodded in agreement after hearing Luke's words, but she still thought it was necessary to be fair.
"Ms. Maxim, please listen to me first." Luke interrupted Ms. Maxim and continued: "I believe Harry as the victim of this incident. I also have magic similar to the spitting agent. It can prove that Harry is innocent, but I don't think it is necessary."
"The Triumph Championship has been suspended for several centuries. As the first game after the recovery, some problems will inevitably arise during the process. The fact is that, what we need to do is not to argue about the current problems, but to discuss a plan that everyone is satisfied with. This is what I said from the referee's perspective."
"And as a member of Hogwarts, I can provide a free opportunity to allow all teachers and students of the two schools, Boothbaton and Demstrong, to participate in a solar system journey, as compensation for the problems that arise in this event. Professor Kakarov, Ms. Maxim, I think you should know how rare such an opportunity is."
"There are many benefits for both the school and the little wizards. What do you think?" Luke looked at Professor Kakarov and Ms. Maxim.
If the two disagree, he will not say another word and will directly hand it over to Dumbledore for handling, and there will be no compensation at that time.
Without letting everyone wait too long, both principals agreed to Luke's compensation proposal. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall also smiled, very satisfied with Luke's approach.
Bagman was very excited, "That's great, thank you very much for Mr. Coker's advice. Things are solved perfectly, let's continue. Barty, let's talk about it?"
Mr. Crouch then released relevant information on the first project. The first project was to test the Warriors' courage. The specific content will be announced on November 24. At the same time, this project needs to be completed in front of other students and the referee team.
For fairness, the use of unpopular buff wands is prohibited during competitions, and only traditional wands can be used.
After Crouch finished explaining the first project, Dumbledore invited Professor Kakarov and Ms. Maxim to have a few drinks, but unfortunately, the two did not appreciate it, but took the participating Warriors out of the room directly.
"Congratulations to Cedric, come on." Luke patted Cedric's arm and encouraged him, then he looked at Harry again, "Harry, no matter who caused this place, you are already one of the Warriors. All you need to do is face reality and accept the challenge. Everyone and I believe in you and will support you, you must work on."
Luke could see that Harry was still very concerned about his innocence. If possible, he would definitely choose to quit.
"Yes, Harry, Hogwarts has two of us Warriors. It would be embarrassing if you lose. And it was a waste of the compensation Luke paid, so you should work hard too." Cedric also encouraged him.
"Thank you, I will work hard," Harry said firmly.
Harry was very moved. If he expressed his mood at this moment in one sentence, it was that - a soldier died for his confidant. He had already planned to fight. No matter what the competition was, he would do his best to complete it.
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall did not step forward to interrupt the three of them. They all thought Luke could handle things well and they didn't need to add them.
"Professor, if nothing else, I will leave first." Luke glanced at Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. Professor Snape was ignored by him. I think there would be no problem for Snape to come to him.
Professor McGonagall was about to speak when Luke disappeared, while Dumbledore smiled and asked Cedric and Harry to go back and rest first.
After both of them walked out of the room, Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Albus, don't we talk to Luke? The smell of blood all over my body is so strong, I don't believe you haven't smelled it."
"The entire wizarding world may not be his opponent. If he really wants to do anything, we can't stop him." Professor Snape said lightly from the side.
Professor McGonagall glared at Professor Snape, "Then we should also assume the responsibility of the professor."
"Minerva, don't worry. Just as Luke and Harry said, we should believe him, and his teacher is there." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore didn't know Ancient One. As long as Luke didn't cause any other demons to invade the earth and fight with others, she really might not be able to care.
In the Gryffindor Common Lounge, Harry once again felt the enthusiasm of his classmates, all screaming, cheering, and whistling.
Hermione didn't see Luke and asked immediately, "Harry, has Luke not come back with you?"
"Luke left earlier than me, didn't he come back?" Harry didn't want to celebrate with others at this time, because this incident was not his wish at all.
"Oh, that's all right." Hermione just said a simple sentence and left.
Harry really wanted to ask if there was anything, but unfortunately the other classmates were so enthusiastic that he couldn't get out after a long time.
Luke in New York didn't know that he had replaced Hermione and became Harry's current "chicken soup".
He was making plans for the evening grass-cutting operation, the flour stronghold of the Hand-Gang Association and the warehouse of the trafficking smuggling population organization. Everything he wanted to know could be easily obtained from these leaders, and he even asked these people to gather the backbone members together at night.
As for Jin Bing, he has no intention of taking action for the time being. The lack of a leader will only make New York even more chaotic.
Early Sunday morning, everyone came to the harbor for morning exercise as usual, but two people were absent today, Luke and Phoebe. At this time, Luke was still carrying out his grass-cutting operation across the ocean, and Phoebe automatically returned to Luke's body because she had been away from Luke for too long.
Anna, who is usually the most lively, looks in a state of disgrace today, and her eyes are still red. Obviously, what happened yesterday has hit her a big blow.
"Anna, let's have a rest today. You can't train like this. When Luke comes back, you will communicate well." Hermione was worried that Anna's training in this state would hurt him, so she advised.
Chapter completed!
