Once the Goblet of Fire appeared, it seemed to overwhelm other light sources in the great hall.
The whole room lights were gradually turned by the goblet's flames into a faint blue color.
Dumbledore stood by the Goblet of Fire and made the introduction.
"This magical competition will run through the entire school year. They will measure your courage, talent and ability to deal with danger."
"As I said before, there will be a total of three champions participating in the competition, and we will score according to their performance in each task, and the person with the highest score in the first two tasks will get an advantage in the final task."
After introducing the basic situation, next comes the registration method that everyone cares about the most.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the students, Dumbledore smiled and didn't continue to stall.
"Those who want to sign up must write their names neatly on the parchment, and then throw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire."
"Starting tomorrow morning, you will have two days and one night to consider whether to sign up. On Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will select three champions to participate."
"In addition, I want to remind you that the Goblet of Fire is a very powerful item. If you are selected, you will be bound by magic. You must participate and you cannot back out of the tournament."
"So, please seriously consider whether you want to participate in this Triwizard Tournament, because it is not for the faint of heart."
"Of course I said before that students under the age of seventeen will not be able to participate. I will draw an age line around the Goblet of Fire personally later."
"People under the age of seventeen will be excluded from the age line, and the Goblet of Fire will be placed here in the great hall. If you want to sign up, please put your name in before the time limit."
After speaking, Dumbledore drew the age line around the Goblet of Fire in front of everyone.
Many students who originally wanted to register secretly showed frustrated expressions. This also included the Weasley twins.
Obviously, a month has already passed, but the two still haven't given up the idea of participating.
They looked at each other and immediately thought of a way.
"Aging potion! ! !"
Three voices sounded at the same time.
The twins grinned treacherously with their pal Lee Jordan.
Waiting until Dumbledore announces that they can leave, they immediately walk out of the great hall.
Since there's still some time before the curfew, many young wizards chose to stay in the great hall, wanting to see if anyone signed up.
Certainly, some of the guys stayed to mingle with people from the other two schools.
Like Slytherin's resident horndog, Blaise Zabini.
The moment Dumbledore announced the end of the banquet, he walked towards Ravenclaw's long table immediately.
And his goal was very clear, the ladies of Beauxbatons.
Harry and Ron also stayed behind.
This is the second time Ron has seen a Veela counting the World Cup, but it seems he still has the same resistance to their allure as the first time, which is absolutely none.
So after seeing Fleur Delacour, who was incredibly beautiful even by veela standards, he became obsessed with her right away.
"Harry, what do you think I should say so as not to offend her?"
"You have to be polite, like Lucas."
Ron frowned, but nodded anyway.
Two people who never had a girlfriend discussing how to get the attention of a beautiful lady.
After preparing himself psychologically, Ron finally mustered his Gryffindor courage to walk over to the long table of Ravenclaw.
At this moment, Fleur was accompanying her sister to chat with Hermione and other Ravenclaws.
Hearing Fleur intentionally or unintentionally shifting the topic to Lucas, Hermione blamed her boyfriend inwardly.
"Miss Delacour, how did you meet Mr. Grindelwald?"
The people who were sorted to Ravenclaw were not fools. When they saw their housemate was embarrassed to ask, several girls helped Hermione to find out the news.
Fleur blushed slightly, and whispered to everyone: "It was at the French Ministry of Magic, meeting Mr. Grindelwald that day is something that I will not forget for the rest of my life."
Cho remembered how her boyfriend led people straight into the French Ministry of Magic in such an imposing way and unconsciously nodded in agreement.
Coincidentally, Fleur's blushing appearance was seen by Ron who just walked over.
There was no resistance to Veela allure at all, his eyes looked somewhat lost and his overall expression was quite stupid.
"Hi, Fleur de, Miss Dela Kuhl, hello."
Ron stuttered nervously.
Looking at the boy beside her, Fleur frowned slightly, but out of politeness, she nodded and asked, "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
Seeing his friend's expression, Harry knew in his heart that it was useless.
The tone of the silver-haired girl revealed her rejection when she spoke, even a bit of scorn could be seen in her eyes when she noticed that the red haired baboon was drooling.
Her expression became extremely cold.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fleur had a very bad impression of Ron.
Only Ron couldn't see it.
Hearing Fleur's beautiful voice, he was completely lost in his fantasy.
Seeing that the boy in front of her didn't speak for a long time, but instead kept giggling stupidly, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
She has seen this expression too many times already.
"Excuse me, I have more important things to do."
Fleur apologized to Hermione and the other Ravenclaws, got up and walked towards the Slytherin long table.
As a romantic French girl, Fleur isn't the type to watch her crush from afar.
Seeing her in action, the students in the great hall seemed to have found something interesting.
One by one they looked at the blond boy on the long table in Slytherin.
Lucas' eyes were now completely empty. In fact, he was staring at the system panel in front of him.
Through the two months of hard work during the summer vacation and the beginning of school, he has already accumulated 12,000 achievement points.
There's only one day left until Halloween and it is impossible to accumulate more achievement points.
'Since the number of lottery draws has decreased, I need to find a way to improve my luck. I can't keep abusing Felix Felicis, the side effects of drinking too much could be problematic.'
Lucas felt that he should go to Rowena's library to look for it, maybe there would be a solution.
It just so happened that he needs to get some useful books for the Slytherins this time.
Voldemort was about to be resurrected, so the strength of these guys must be raised to a higher level.
The other thing is to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
It's also not known if the fake Moody will follow through on their plan.
Lucas frowned slightly and unconsciously twirled the wand in his hand.
His ability made Hermione, Draco and others envious.
Several people have practiced many times, but they still can't spin the wand as easily as Lucas.
Lucas also despised a few people for this. As a student struggling in the classroom and examination room, isn't turning a pen a basic skill that everyone should know?
"Hello!"
A pleasant voice beside him interrupted his thoughts and the spinning wand stopped at the same time.
"Hello, Miss Fleur Delacour."
Seeing that Lucas still remembered her name even after two years, Fleur felt very happy in her heart.
She looked almost as lovestruck as Ron Weasley just now, it's just that her innate beauty prevented her from looking stupid, instead she looked quite charming and alluring.
Looking at the smiling girl in front of him that seemed lost in her fantasy, Lucas put his hand out in front of her eyes and waved it a bit.
"I guess you don't remember my name."
"Lucas Grindelwald, a first-year Hogwarts student, no, you should be a fourth-year student now."
Seeing the satisfied smile on Lucas' face.
Fleur giggled and her face couldn't stop smiling.
With the blessing of her Veela heritage, her smile makes people feel that the surroundings are much brighter.
Invited by Lucas, Fleur sat at the Slytherin table.
Looking at the two talking and laughing, Harry sighed and patted his disappointed friend in the back.
He wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't know what to say after thinking about it for a long time.
After all, compared with Lucas, Ron is indeed much worse.
"Grindelwald, this evil guy must have cast the Imperius Curse on My Fleur."
"Ron, don't talk nonsense!"
Harry hastily stopped his friend who never thought before speaking.
He's been targeted by the Slytherin students in various ways lately.
Finally, because of the arrival of the two other schools, he can relax a little, so he didn't want to be unnecessarily involved again because of Ron's words.
Hermione was also fuming with jealousy, seeing such a beautiful girl flirting with her boyfriend made her feel an unparalleled danger towards her position.
She took Cho and Ginny's hand and walked towards the Slytherin table.
This woman of unknown origin dared to approach their boyfriend. This is a provocation and a declaration of war!
"Honey!"
Using an almost simpering tone, Hermione called Lucas, then pulled the two other girls and sat beside him.
Lucas just glanced at it and knew that she was jealous.
"This is my girlfriend, Hermione Granger, and so are the other two, Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley."
Lucas didn't hide and generously introduced them to Fleur.
Fleur was not surprised either. On the contrary, the other three girls lowered their heads shyly.
It was the first time that Lucas publicly admitted that the three of them were his girlfriends.
The unhappiness in Hermione's heart disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the eyes of Krum who was sitting not far away became a little dim and he clenched his fists as he looked at Lucas.
…
The next day arrived soon.
Students from both schools also began classes at Hogwarts.
At the end of each class, some people would gather in the great hall.
The ones who came back from class would ask their friends if anyone threw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire.
Lucas was also dragged there by Draco and others.
Just when he was feeling extremely bored, the sound of orderly and heavy footsteps came from a distance.
Looking at the bears who entered the great hall in a line, people immediately made room for them.
Karkaroff accompanied his famous student proudly out of the group.
Seeing the parchment in his hand, everyone guessed that Durmstrang champion was probably going to be this world-class Quidditch star, Viktor Krum.
Krum walked towards the Goblet of Fire, and when he passed Lucas on the way, a bright light flashed in his eyes, as if he was planning something.
