Chapter 866 Against the game(1/2)
The students in the entire auditorium were discussing this matter, that their warrior was missing.
In the morning there were rumors that Albert Anderson was missing.
But if Albert really disappeared, how did he sign up?
Who signed him up?
what on earth is it?
Everyone was a little confused and had too many questions in their minds.
Not only them, but also Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxim are confused about what is going on now. The warriors of Hogwarts seem to be... missing?
Now how to do?
The two of them looked at the two officials from the Ministry of Magic. Crouch and Bagman also looked at each other, and they also did not understand what was going on.
While everyone was discussing in low voices, the blue flame in the Goblet of Fire, which had been silent, suddenly turned red again, and a piece of burnt parchment was sprayed out from the Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore seemed to subconsciously stretch out a slender hand and grab the parchment.
The buzz in the auditorium gradually disappeared. Everyone looked at the parchment in Dumbledore's hand, full of doubts. What was going on? Could it be that because Albert did not appear, the Goblet of Fire chose
Will there be new warriors?
When they all couldn't wait to know what was written on the note,
Staring at the note in his hand, Dumbledore, who had been silent for a long time, finally cleared his throat and read the name on the note aloud: "Harry Potter."
There was a strange dead silence, without any applause, and the air seemed to be frozen.
There were too many surprises in tonight's warrior selection. The Hogwarts warrior disappeared, and then the Goblet of Fire chose a new warrior for them. This is really ridiculous. When will Harry Potter be qualified to replace him?
Albert became the champion of Hogwarts.
After everyone in the auditorium heard Dumbledore pronounce Harry's name, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Harry Potter's position.
At this moment, Harry Potter also looked confused. His mind was blank and he couldn't understand what was going on. He only saw the classmates around him with their mouths open and looking at him blankly.
.
"Harry Potter!" At that moment, countless thoughts appeared in Dumbledore's head. He remembered that Albert had said that Harry would definitely become a warrior of Hogwarts. For this reason,
He even paid special attention to it, but something like this still happened.
To make matters worse, Albert is missing.
This time the selection of warriors was a complete mess, but things had to go on, at least to get this matter settled first. He shouted again, "Harry, please go to that door."
Just when Harry stood up and was about to walk towards the teacher's seat,
The door of the auditorium was suddenly opened.
All the students who were staring at Harry looked towards the entrance of the auditorium, and saw Albert, who was thought to be missing, opening the door and walking in.
this……
There were so many unexpected events that happened today that no one could react. They all looked stupidly at Albert, who was just about to take a seat in the empty Gryffindor seat.
"Where have you been today?" George asked in a low voice when he saw Albert preparing to sit down in the empty seat where they left.
"We're in some trouble."
"A little trouble?" Fred said weakly.
After Dumbledore saw Albert appear, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Albert, please come here!"
"Come over quickly, you are a warrior." George urged.
"Warrior, me?" Albert showed an unexpected expression and walked forward along the passage between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables.
When he walked to the teacher's seat, Professor McGonagall asked in a low voice: "Mr. Anderson, what are you doing?"
"Someone attacked us while I was talking to Katrina last night and threw us in a secret room." Albert came up with the excuse he had prepared with Katrina in advance.
Teacher McGonagall's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had heard something unbelievable, and she said dryly: "Go to that door, the warriors are waiting for further guidance over there."
Albert walked along the staff table and pushed open the door. When he was about to walk in, he heard Dumbledore's voice in his ear: "Harry, come here too."
Albert walked into the small room, his eyes swept from the portraits of wizards hanging on both sides of the wall, and landed on the two people gathered around the burning fire.
Krum was sitting on the sofa, meditating on something. Fleur Delacour heard the noise and turned her head to look at Albert. There didn't seem to be much surprise on her face.
"What an incredible night." Albert found an empty seat and sat down.
"Unbelievable?" Fleur was a little confused.
"You'll find out later." As soon as Albert finished speaking, he heard footsteps and Harry Potter walked in.
"Harry, come over here and do it!"
"What's going on?" Fleur and Krum both raised their heads and looked at Albert.
"He is the fourth warrior." Albert said in French and Bulgaria respectively.
"Are you kidding?" Fleur frowned.
When Krum heard the familiar Bulgarian, he raised his head and looked at Albert with slight surprise, and asked doubtfully: "The fourth warrior."
"Literally." Albert greeted Harry. "Sit here Harry and ignore them. Those people will probably be arguing for a while."
"I didn't put my name in." Harry said stupidly, sitting on the sofa next to Albert.
"I know." Albert said calmly: "Don't worry about this, you need to worry more about your own safety now."
"My safety." Harry became even more confused.
At this moment, there was a quarrel outside, the door behind them was pushed open again, and a large group of people came in.
"What does this mean, Dumbledore?" Madam Maxime took the lead.
"I want to know this too. I don't remember anyone telling me that the host school can have two warriors." Professor Karkaroff laughed briefly, "Didn't I read those regulations carefully enough?"
"Hogwarts cannot have two warriors. This is extremely unfair." Mrs. Maxim said.
Seeing other people questioning Dumbledore, Harry looked uneasy. However, he found that Albert beside him seemed to be too calm. He got a cup of steaming milk tea from somewhere and was eating it slowly.
with a piece of cake.
"Do you want it?" Albert said, taking a sip of milk tea.
"No, I've just eaten." Harry said dryly.
"Let them quarrel, this kind of thing is normal, the result is the same anyway, nothing will change." Albert destroyed most of the cakes, but looked at the group of quarreling principals with interest, listening to
When Snape threw all the problems on Harry's head, Albert teased softly: "Snape and you have deep conflicts."
"He has always disliked me from the moment I went to school." Harry whispered.
"There must be some reason. There has never been unreasonable hatred in this world." Albert ignored Snape's murderous gaze and put a refilling spell on his cup.
Professor Bullydo turned his head and looked into Harry's eyes, and asked calmly: "Has Harry thrown your name into the Goblet of Fire, or have you asked an older classmate to help you throw your name into the Goblet of Fire?"
"No." Harry shook his head.
"He must be lying!" Madame Maxime shouted.
"I think it's only fair that each school should have two warriors, Dumbledore." Karkaroff said in a smooth voice.
"Fair? Do you really think Hogwarts needs two warriors?" Professor Moody sneered.
"What's the meaning?"
"Someone wants to murder Harry. He knows that by putting Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire, he only needs to cast a confusion spell, and Potter must participate in the game."
"Moody, how could you say such a thing!" Ludo Bagman looked very anxious.
"As we all know, Professor Moody suspects that someone is trying to murder him every day." Karkaroff said loudly, "When he eats, he always worries that someone will add poison to his food."
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Professor Moody said impatiently: "From the time Albert Anderson participated in the Triwizard Tournament, you have no so-called fairness. For this reason, someone last night
Attack him and try to prevent him from participating in the Triwizard Tournament?"
"Are you kidding?" Karkaroff sneered.
"Albert has won so many international awards, you really think he is still a student." Professor Moody did not hide his ridicule, "Don't be stupid Karkaroff, you know this very well. Since Hogg
Watts has Albert as a warrior, and it makes no sense for Porter to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, unless someone wants to take this opportunity to murder him, because for Potter, the events of the Triwizard Tournament are too difficult and extremely difficult.
It might kill him."
The smile on Karkaroff's face disappeared, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly, because what Moody said was actually right.
If Albert Anderson participates in the competition, it will be difficult for other schools to win. The International Grand Prize is not a school competition like the Triwizard Tournament, so the level can be imagined.
One more Porter really doesn't mean much.
"I want us to file a complaint with the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards." Karkaroff turned to Madame Maxime and said.
"Dumbledore, is there really no way to make Harry give up the game or terminate the game directly?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but ask. She felt that Moody was right. The Triwizard Tournament was too much for Harry.
It was dangerous, not only for the Triwizard Tournament, but also for the person who secretly signed up for Potter, and also for the person who attacked Albert.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid not. Magical contracts cannot be broken." Dumbledore said to everyone in the room. "We have no choice but to accept it."
