I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

,!

As Professor Moody stood up, a burst of applause immediately erupted in the auditorium, not enthusiastic enough, but very loud.

Mad-Eye Moody, whose face can be described as "ferocious", has easily won the fear of many people. His magical prosthetic eyes are constantly rotating, and some timid girls do not even dare to look directly at him.

"Lockhart was arrested. I originally thought that another professor would be hired, but I didn't expect that it was Moody-" Sean whispered while applauding.

He and Moody also knew each other. When he was curing Daisy from the Blood Curse and Obscurus, the other party appeared in Uncle Sirius's old house.

Moreover, Moody is the first person Sean has ever met who can detect his mastery of black magic just by "smell".

"I personally sent half of the prisoners in Azkaban, and those who have been using black magic always have a smell on them. Although it is not pure darkness like Obscurus, I can always smell it. .”

"Ha--Albus said, this is my talent--it's quite convenient for catching dark wizards anyway."

This is what Moody said to Sean at the beginning. Coupled with his ferocious appearance, Sean's evaluation was: The Ministry of Magic should be grateful to Moody for becoming an Auror instead of a dark wizard.

Daisy on the other side heard what Sean said and continued in a low voice: "Actually, it's normal, because Mr. Moody has no job now. You know, the Ministry of Magic...I heard that Mr. Moody went to smash up the Auror office. , and then angrily denounced all the employees of the Ministry of Magic as 'dazzled idiots', while smashing things and walking out. I heard that no one dared to stop him - the most powerful wizards in the Ministry of Magic are all Aurors, and the current Aurors Half of them were brought out by Mr. Moody."

Sean smacked his lips in wonder: "He really has the demeanor of Mad-Eye Moody, but your father and Sirius seemed to have resigned like this back then..."

Daisy stuck out her tongue: "To be honest, they shouldn't call it resignation, it should be called the squid who fired the Ministry of Magic - but my father and my godfather have nothing to do now, and neither does Mr. Moody. Although he doesn't He is no longer an Auror in name and position, but he will still arrest those dark wizards. I heard that he went to the United States for half a year, and the number of local dark wizard activities dropped by half. My dad and Sirius heard that I want to go there with you later..."

"However, before they could pass, Moody came back on his own - the righteous masters of MACUSA did not welcome him. I guess it was because of this that he accepted Professor Dumbledore's invitation to come to Hogwarts and become a black man. Professor of Magical Defense."

"Probably..."

Sean looked up at Moody. He was no different from the Mad-Eye in his mind. However, perhaps due to the influence of the original work, Sean subconsciously observed the other party's movements.

No small metal wine bottle has been taken out since the dinner began. It seems that little Barty was not pretending to be drinking Polyjuice Potion...

Sean's conjecture is of course a bit unreasonable, but he is indeed more likely to have such thoughts.

At this time, in a dark dungeon, a man with disheveled hair who was firmly bound by iron chains raised his head. His face was pale, and the two dark circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous. If you look more carefully, you can see that his There were all kinds of scars and pinholes on his body, obviously he had suffered inhuman torture.

However, this did not defeat his fanaticism at all, even if he was already worse than dead.

"Master...I will never betray you..." Little Barty's eyes were still crazy and bright, and he murmured alone.

It's like he's talking to his master who can't hear his voice, like he's reminding the wizard who's been tormenting him for days, and it's like he's reminding himself to keep going.

Little Barty's false master Voldemort is now unknown, but his real master Sean Wallop is currently listening to the headmaster's words in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

"...Administrator Filch told me that this is already the 528th request - freshmen and old students, please do not cast spells randomly in the corridors. Of course, it is not just this, there are many others. Mr. Filch will post the rules on the bulletin board again tomorrow."

A few old guys lowered their heads and snickered a few times, and looked at each other a few times, such as the Wes twins, and the Gryffindor trio of Harry, Neville, and Ron.

Of course, Ravenclaw's expert in offending and the new prefect is carefully following the headmaster's instructions.

"That's about it for the welcome speech. The new rules will be posted on the bulletin board tomorrow -" Dumbledore paused and pushed up his glasses, "Of course, there is one more thing I want to announce to everyone. .”

There was a low noise in the auditorium, and the students looked excited. They had already guessed what Dumbledore was going to say.

"I think most people have already guessed it, but please allow me to tell you first that even if the Ministry of Magic's regulations are relaxed now, Quidditch still cannot be played."

"Oh! No!" Sean heard Harry whine in pain.

Dumbledore smiled, with a mischievous sense of succeeding in a prank.

“This is because a big event is starting in October and continuing throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers’ time and attention – but I’m sure you’ll all have a lot of fun doing it. I’m really excited to announce that , this year at Hogwarts, we will be honored to host a fantastic event over the coming months.”

"I believe everyone has heard about it. In other words, the little wizard who was watching the game in the stands has now grown up to the age to compete-"

"Yes, the Four-wizard Tournament is about to be held at Hogwarts, and the Goblet of Fire will begin to officially burn."

Even though it was expected, when Dumbledore officially announced the news, there was still an excited noise in the auditorium. However, Dumbledore did not stop it. He just let everyone discuss it happily for a while before raising a hand. Signaling for silence.

"I can understand everyone's excitement, but there are more and more new blood joining Hogwarts. Some of you still don't know what this competition is about, so I hope those who know the situation If you'll excuse me for explaining a little here, I'll allow their minds to wander for a while."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and said: "The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe. These three schools are: Hogwarts , Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Each school selects a warrior, and then three warriors compete in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that, It was a great way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships - but then too many people died and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."

Too many deaths - this cold sentence shocked many freshmen, and even many old students who didn't know much about the history of the Goblet of Fire covered their mouths in horror.

It doesn't sound safe when a student dies while in school.

However, more people's faces still showed excitement and anticipation.

"There have been several attempts to revive the Tournament over the centuries," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. This situation has changed in this century, and our 'old rivals' (speaking of which , Dumbledore raised his hand and made a helpless gesture) Nurmengard Magic School was officially established. After a series of persuasion, research, and preparation, the Goblet of Fire was rekindled. Of course, the Triwizard Tournament became the Four Wizard Tournament. competition, the number of participating warriors has also increased from one per school to three per school.”

"What's even more gratifying is that since the Four Powers Tournament has been restarted to this day, there has never been a student death in the event. The Ministry of Magic of various countries has also been less supportive at the beginning and now supports it strongly. This is an exchange between young people from all over the world. A great opportunity to learn—with a lot of danger, of course.”

"In the last Four-Wizard Tournament, the Goblet of Fire was won by Nurmengard. In October, they will bring the Goblet of Fire to Hogwarts. At the same time, Durmstrang and Boo Sparton will also come to Hogwarts under the leadership of their principals. They will lead carefully selected competitors. The ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween. It will be organized by the four major magic schools and the Ministry of Magic of the four countries as well as international wizards. Impartial referees selected by the Federation will decide which students are most qualified to compete for the Triwizard Cup, win honor for their school, and receive a bonus of three thousand galleons for each individual - three thousand for each of the winning teams."

This huge number took everyone's breath away, and then the auditorium became more lively, with excited expressions on the students' faces. Whether it was the huge honor or the equally huge bonus, it was too attractive.

"Are you raising the stakes again this time?" Fred and George became excited. "We were only in second grade when the last Goblet of Fire was held. The prize that time was one thousand gold galleons for each person on the winning team. This time It’s doubled! Or tripled! Oh my god, it’s so generous!”

The two brothers' desire for Galleons has turned into blazing fire in their eyes.

Only Sean smiled. The original bonus of three thousand Galleons was tripled. The extra six thousand Galleons didn't sound like a big number, but considering the price of a wand of only seven Galleons, this was It’s not a small amount. The average wizard family will never be able to afford such a huge sum of money, but...

Dumbledore continued: "Thank you to the Wizarding Charity Association for its strong sponsorship of this Four Wizard Tournament. The chairman of the association who does not want to be named wants me to tell you that he hopes that the students from the four schools can vigorously participate in this competition. He is looking forward to this competition to communicate and learn from each other.”

"Let us applaud this generous and unnamed gentleman." Dumbledore took the lead in applauding.

Without him taking the lead, the students also made enthusiastic noises. Six thousand gold galleons was enough to get everyone excited.

"Wizards' Charity Association? I think I've heard of it..."

"Don't be stupid. Of course you have heard of it. Aren't there many young wizards among the freshmen who hold the Dawn Project card? And there are many people around us who have applied. The Dawn Project is launched by the Wizards Charity Association."

"Project Dawn?! Oh my God, is this their project? I was surprised when I heard it. Which association can provide so much money, and it is also an interest-free student loan. Isn't this just charity? ——Is it really a charity association?”

"Yes, I heard that the founder of this association does not want to do business, but just to allow some students from more difficult families to use the same brand-new teaching supplies as others, and also hopes to provide them with some jobs in the future .”

"Merlin's beard, this founder is really a proud gentleman."

"Not only is he healthy, but he is also rich - everything he does is to make the future of the wizarding world better. Anyway, I have decided that although I can only apply for the Dawn Project for two years, after graduation I will go to the wizarding world. I also want to contribute to the charity association’s work.”

"It is indeed a good place, but now I am still very greedy for the three thousand gold galleons bonus. Oh my God, that gentleman is too rich, isn't he? This is free!"

"Yes, I can only say that not only is he rich, but he is also very supportive of various school exchanges. He must be a very good person..."

There were countless discussions, exclamations, envy, and excitement among the students... all the words were kept ringing out, and there was no sign of even quieting down.

Otherwise, the shock brought by this money was too great. The names of Wizards Charity Association and Dawn Project have been deeply imprinted in the minds of all students.

Hermione and Daisy secretly looked at Sean. After noticing the boy's expected indifferent smile, they moved closer and Hermione said in a very low voice: "Sean, you didn't even tell us! Oh my god. , you donated a full six thousand gold galleons?!"

The little white flower blinked crazily at Sean: "I know you are rich, but I didn't know you were so rich. You can support me from now on, Mr. Wallop!"

"Don't make trouble -" Sean laughed happily, "I have to correct you. It wasn't me who donated, but my dad who donated six thousand gold galleons. Although the cash flow has shrunk quite a bit, he is happy."

In fact, this idea was indeed proposed by Sean's father, and the honorable Mr. Wallop made this decision immediately after hearing the news about the Goblet of Fire.

The Wizarding Charity Association has been using various resources to collect funds, part of which is for expenses, and part of which is to directly cash out from shorting Gringotts in the future.

Of course, Mr. Wallop himself also threw in a lot of money. When the Wizards Charity Association was not strong enough, the association's funds still required Mr. Wallop to buy gold with pounds and then exchange the gold for galleons.

However, for the owner of a private hospital, this is to pave the way for his son. This is all an ordinary father can do for a wizard child. He feels that the money is very worthwhile.

It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Wallop even wanted to use up his cash flow to directly buy a seat on the Hogwarts School Board... After all, his youngest daughter will be enrolling in school in two years...
