I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Dumbledore shook hands with him and said something in a low voice, which no one of the students below could hear clearly.

He seemed to be asking the stranger something, but the stranger shook his head without a smile and answered in a low voice.

Dumbledore nodded, motioning for the man to take an empty seat to his right.

The stranger sat down, shook his head, brushed his long gray hair from his face, and pulled a plate of sausages, holding them up to his mutilated nose, and sniffing them.

He took a knife from his pocket, poked it in one end of a sausage, and ate it, his normal eye fixed on the sausage, but the blue eye kept turning in its socket. Turning around, I looked at the auditorium and classmates.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Professor Moody."

Under normal circumstances, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud, but now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, Lynn is the only one who applauds. They slapped Lynn Dumbledore and Hagrid a few times. The applause echoed lonely in the silent auditorium, and they just slapped briefly twice before putting down their hands.

The others seemed taken aback by Moody's strange appearance, and just stared at him intently.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, turning everyone's attention back to himself.

"Besides, starting this year, Hogwarts will offer a brand-new compulsory course called Wizarding Moral Education. In this class, the professor will teach you about the development of a magical society and the ways in which people should behave. Character, the relationship between wizards and Muggles, and the progress of wizards’ thinking, etc. The professor of this course is an old acquaintance of some students. He was the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in 1990 Professor Fox."

Dumbledore introduced Fox to the young wizards below.

The applause this time was much louder than Professor Moody's before. Although the students don't know what the so-called moral education class is about, at least the senior students are familiar with Fox, and the lower grade students look at him. He was neatly dressed and looked like a handsome old man. His first impression was better than Moody's.

The introduction of the two new professors was only a minor matter, the real main Dumbledore was only now beginning to announce to all the students.

"As before, I want to remind everyone that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue, and students under the third grade are not allowed to visit the village of Hogsmeade."

"I also regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year."

"what?"

The saddest thing about this news was undoubtedly the monkeys in Gryffindor, Harry gasped in surprise and turned to look at his Quidditch teammates Fred and George.

They all gaped and stared at Dumbledore silently, as if too surprised to speak.

Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large event will start in October and will continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of the teachers' time and energy, but I am sure you will all have a lot of fun out of it.

This year at Hogwarts it will be a great honor to host a very fantastic event which has not been held in over a century.

It is with great pleasure that I tell you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this October! "

"Are you kidding me?" Fried asked with his mouth open in disbelief.

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile: "Of course I'm not joking Mr. Weasley, the Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.

These three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbaton and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic items.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. It is agreed that this is an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships-but then, the death toll is too high, and the Triwizard Tournament It was interrupted. "

The students were not frightened by Dumbledore's words of "too many deaths and interruption", instead, each of them had excited lights in their eyes.

Children of this age have no concept of death, and the only thing they notice is the fun of the Tournament itself.

"Over the centuries, there have been several attempts to revive the Tournament," continued Dumbledore, "but none have been successful. However, we at the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Magical Sports at the Ministry of Magic believe that it would be wise to try again." The time has come. We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that no one's life is in danger for every Warrior.

However, this time the Triwizard Tournament has undergone some small changes compared to centuries ago. Not only did the three schools in Europe participate in this competition, but the Magic Academy in America, Ilvermorny, also applied. Take part in this event. "

"In October, the headmasters of Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Ilvermorny will bring their handpicked competitors, and the selection ceremony will be held on Halloween. An impartial referee will decide which students are the best Eligible to compete for the Tri-Power Cup, win honors for your school, and personally receive a bonus of 1,000 Galleons."

Immediately, all the students' breathing became heavy.

They all knew what a bonus of 1,000 Galleons was, which was enough to rent a shop in Diagon Alley for three years!

And it's not just a question of money, just being able to represent Hogwarts in the competition is already a great honor, and it can greatly satisfy the vanity of all little wizards.

But soon Dumbledore poured cold water on most people.

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament for Hogwarts. However, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic have agreed that there is an age cutoff for this year's competitors. Only seventeen years of age, which means , students over the age of seventeen are allowed to register for consideration."

Only students in the sixth grade and above who can meet the standard of seventeen years old, but not all students in the sixth grade meet this standard.

Take the Weasley brothers for example. Although they are also in the sixth grade, they will not be 17 years old until April next year, and they cannot meet the registration requirements yet.

In other words, the young wizards who weigh 80% of Hogwarts are not even eligible to sign up.

The feeling of bursting out is really comfortable! ! ! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
