The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The "golden finger" Professor Sprout gave to his students was, of course, Tom. As a professor, Sprout understands the importance of volunteers. Coincidentally, Tom Yoder was brought into the Forbidden Forest by her. So she knew Tom's location.

This is a very important source of information! She told Cedric the news immediately in order to make his game less difficult.

Tom Yoder has the largest gold ring fragment in his hand. If he gets it, he will definitely get a high score from the judges. What's more important is that he is extremely strong. If Cedric can pull him into the team, the game will be almost guaranteed!

Professor Sprout felt that Tom Yoder, as a student at Hogwarts, would definitely be biased towards Cedric, and it was a certainty that Cedric would bring him into the team.

Then wouldn't the news he revealed indirectly bring a victory to Hogwarts?

Thinking of this, Professor Sprout had a smile on his lips.

She led Cedric to where the Quidditch pitch was. The gate at the players' entrance to the stadium is gone, replaced by a tent.

"The other two warriors should be inside already, and Mr. Bagman is also there. He will explain the rules to you in detail and distribute necessary items... I wish you good luck." The middle-aged woman hugged Cedric. Just like a mother holding her son who is about to travel far away.

Strangely enough, after being hugged by his dean, the tension in Cedric's heart miraculously dissipated. After calming down, Cedric opened the tent door and walked in.

The light in the tent was not very good, and it took Cedric a few seconds to adjust to the dim environment. He saw Fleur Delacour sitting in the corner of the tent, her face pale and her expression a little haggard. Krum, with his arms folded, stood at the exit of the tent like a stone sculpture, looking even gloomier than usual.

As for Bagman, he was sitting on a round stool in the middle of the tent, looking a little dazed. Cedric noticed that he wasn't wearing his old Hornets uniform today. This is a bit strange, because Ludo Bagman always dons his uniform during every big holiday to show off his former glory.

When Ludo Bagman saw Cedric coming in, he stood up and motioned for the players to come to him.

"Everyone is here, let me tell you the rules of the first project..." Ludo Bagman said weakly. His listless look looked like he owed someone a large sum of money.

In the auditorium, the little wizards became excited because of the arrival of Professor Sprout and the departure of Cedric. Everyone knew that the game was about to begin. Soon, all four deans returned to the auditorium. They ordered the students from their respective houses to line up and head to the Quidditch pitch.

When the excited little wizards arrived at the stadium, they found that the place had changed drastically. The stands of the four major colleges in the stadium are connected together, occupying half of the stadium. Opposite the stands are three huge blackboards. At the highest point of the stand, there was a row of chairs, which seemed to be the seats for the referees.

Although there is no barrier in the stands, students are still accustomed to sit according to the divisions of the colleges. There are only students from one college in a certain area. Only a few Hufflepuff wizards went to other houses to find their friends to watch the game together.

Shortly after the young wizards from Hogwarts arrived, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons also entered. Looking at the layout of the stadium, they were a little stunned, and then they habitually sat down as they did when eating.

After the students entered the room, the referees followed Dumbledore into the referee's seat. Looking at the dark head below, Dumbledore showed a satisfied smile. He stretched out his wand and cast an amplifying spell on himself.

"Invite the warriors to enter." Dumbledore's voice resounded throughout the stadium, and the three warriors in the entrance tent naturally heard it.

The three of them walked stiffly, carrying the supply package from the Ministry of Magic in their arms, opened the tent curtain and walked out. The hearts of the three of them were beating rapidly, and Cedric just wanted to hug Professor Sprout one more time to calm himself down quickly. However, the accelerated heartbeat was not entirely a negative effect, and Krum became even more excited because of it. As a professional player, he is very good at taking advantage of nervous emotions.

In the middle of the field, there was a platform that was not too high, and the three warriors stood on it in a tacit understanding.

After the three of them stood firm, the platform gradually rose and finally stopped twenty feet above the ground. This height is exactly the same as the height of the stands.

After the platform stopped rising, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium. The reason for the exclamation was that a layer of fog appeared on the three blackboards behind Cedric and the three of them, and then the three figures appeared on the blackboards, just like a big Muggle screen. With the help of the screen, everyone present could clearly see every detail on the faces of the three warriors.

"All students, I announce that the first event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!" Dumbledore's words ignited the emotions of the audience. Everyone clapped and cheered desperately to welcome the start of this ancient competition. return.

"I have a magic bracelet made of gold." Dumbledore's next words silenced the audience.

Everyone closed their mouths and listened curiously to Dumbledore's story.

"This magic ring was broken into countless pieces and fell in every corner of the Forbidden Forest. The mission of the three warriors is to go to the Forbidden Forest and collect them. The competition will continue until this time tomorrow - Of course, if any warrior collects all the fragments in advance and restores the magic ring, the game will end early. The referees will score the warriors based on their performance after the game. I want to say something in advance here , the warriors who gather the entire magic ring will have the upper hand in the second event of the Triwizard Tournament!"

Although there is a reward for collecting the entire magic ring, no one present believes that someone can restore the magic ring - you know, even if there is only one missing piece, it is not called restoration. A warrior who has no chance of winning will probably try his best to prevent this from happening.

"Of course, during the competition, the warriors can draw on the power of the Forbidden Forest. Many of our brave classmates have entered the Forbidden Forest. After passing their tests, the warriors will gain various harvests - fragments , treasures and even the guardians themselves.”

"The warriors are ready," Dumbledore's eyes fell on the three warriors. "They will be transported to the Forbidden Forest by the portkey to find the legendary magic ring!"

A stream of fireworks exploded from the tip of his staff, and the first event of the Triwizard Tournament began.
