The color of the Goblet of Fire continued to change, and the students' moods also fluctuated. Finally, when the flames turned red, the paper with the name of the Hogwarts Champion flew out.
This piece of paper seemed to have some magic power, sticking everyone's eyes firmly on it, watching it fall into Dumbledore's hands.
"Hogwarts Champions -" Dumbledore looked at the paper with relief and said loudly. "Cedric Diggory!"
The long table of Hufflepuffs roared with applause, and every Hufflepuff jumped up and down, screaming, and stomping.
The little badgers, who have always been low-key, couldn't hold back their excitement. The Champions came from Hufflepuff!
Who says Hufflepuff is the least existential House at Hogwarts?
Besides Alvin, the best students at Hogwarts are their Hufflepuffs!
Even the other three Houses are happy for them. It has to be said that Hufflepuff's popularity is really good. There is a saying in the magic world - it's the best thing to be friends with Hufflepuff.
Suppose someone from Gryffindor or Slytherin is elected. In that case, it is estimated that the other party will save face if they don't boo.
Harry also looked at Cedric, happily hugging other classmates with admiration. He felt that Cedric's current appearance was the style he wanted.
Athlete genius has excellent grades and is friendly.
Although it can't be compared with Alvin, only Cedric like this is the goal pursued by "ordinary people" like Harry.
"Great!" Dumbledore exclaimed happily when Cedric entered the Trophy Room.
"Okay, now our four Champions have been selected. I believe that you will spare no effort to support your Champions, and they will also gain great strength through your cheer!"
Halfway through speaking, Dumbledore suddenly stopped speaking because the Goblet of Fire next to him changed again. The long tongue of flame suddenly jumped into the air, dragging another piece of paper on it.
The little wizards in the audience looked at Dumbledore suspiciously and didn't know why anyone was chosen.
Dumbledore subconsciously stretched out a hand and grabbed the paper. His face became very serious. He looked carefully, cleared his throat after confirming it was correct and said aloud. "Harry Potter!"
When Dumbledore uttered the name, everyone was stunned. No one made a sound for a while, Harry didn't fit his age, and Cedric was selected.
Why is his name popping out of the Goblet of Fire?
Harry, who was mentioned, was also dumbfounded. He felt everyone was looking at him, and his mind was blank. He wondered if Dumbledore had read it wrong or was just a joke.
Professor McGonagall walked over to Dumbledore. She frowned at the paper, muttered something, and looked up at Harry again.
"Harry Potter!"
Dumbledore repeated the name again and asked Harry to come forward.
Under the gazes of countless people, Harry moved to Dumbledore and then entered the Trophy Room under his signal.
There was no smile on Dumbledore's face at this moment. He was tired...
After scanning the High Table and finding nothing unusual, Dumbledore finally announced. "Members of the judges and Minerva, please come with me."
Fred looked at Alvin and the others who were leaving and stared at George with wide eyes. "What is this? There are five Champions in the Triwizard Tournament?"
While the Champions were waiting indoors, Krum and Cedric sat in a corner, looking at Fleur and Cassandra opposite, not daring to make a sound.
After entering the room, the two girls stared at each other without saying a word, making the atmosphere a little weird.
Krum and Cedric couldn't understand the form and didn't speak out rashly.
Fleur just wanted to examine what was so special about her that could make Alvin take the initiative to initiate a conversation. Knowing that when she and Alvin first met, Alvin still ignored her.
And Cassandra's idea is even simpler. Why do you and I look at each other? Do I have to back down first?
With her arrogant temperament, she would not want to admit defeat, so the two formed the current situation.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Harry walked in blankly.
Fleur turned her head and blinked her sore eyes, "What's the matter? Are you here to tell us to return to the Great Hall?"
Fleur knew Harry and knew that she had a good relationship with Alvin and that her attitude wasn't too bad.
His hands kept swinging, and Harry was at a loss. He didn't know what to say.
Just as he hesitated to say something, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"It's cheating! It's not fair. Why do you have two contestants at your school!"
Before entering, everyone in the room heard Karkaroff's roar.
Madame Maxime pushed the door open, walked in, and said to Dumbledore. "I need an explanation, Dumbledore."
Without responding to the questioning of the two, Dumbledore walked quickly to Harry, lowered his head, and looked at him.
"Harry, tell me, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?"
"No!" Harry answered categorically. He tried his best to stare at Dumbledore, hoping he could believe in himself.
"Have you asked an older classmate to help you put your name in?"
Harry shook his head again, and Alvin clearly sensed that the moment Harry answered, Dumbledore used Legilimency.
It seemed that Dumbledore was very annoyed by this matter. Otherwise, he would never have done such a thing with the degree of his doting on Harry.
Karkaroff let out a sneer and said something. "Yeah, just now, the students in your school said several ways of cheating, and then Harry Potter was chosen."
"I don't remember the organizers being allowed to have two Champions, do they?"
Madame Maxime was silent. She walked in front of Fleur with a gesture that she would take Fleur away at any time if Dumbledore did not explain.
Cedric and the others looked at Harry in disbelief. It turned out that this person was not here to tell them to go out but also a Champion.
