Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy
Chapter 154: Goblet of Fire Prologue
The next day in class, Draco still couldn't bring himself to ask.
After that day, Snape split the course in half.
The first half of the Occlumency exercises did not require the use of a wand, but were much more difficult than the second half of the course.
The second half of the class was spell training.
He repeatedly asked Draco to use Stunning Spells and Barrier Spells to attack and defend.
The purpose was to shorten the time Draco took to cast the spell, reduce the amplitude of the wand swings, and thus speed up the pace of casting.
The process was tight with almost no breaks, and Draco could sense the pressure of time urgency from his eyes.
Although I don't understand where the pressure comes from.
A few more weeks passed like this.
As notices were posted announcing Durmstrang and Beauxbatons' visit on Friday, the atmosphere at Hogwarts gradually became more heated.
Friday's Potions class was shared with Gryffindor, so it ended half an hour early.
When the bell rang, the students rushed out of the cellar door.
Before walking out of the cellar with Pansy and Daphne, he saw Severus with a helpless expression.
Draco couldn't help but chuckle.
-
Came to the grassland beside Black Lake with other students.
When Beauxbatons' flying carriage fell and Durmstrang's black ship sprang out from the center of the lake,
The exclamations of the Hogwarts students could be heard clearly even in Hogsmeade several miles away.
But what made the whole audience scream and cheer uncontrollably was a figure when the student representative of Durmstrang stepped off the giant ship.
"Krum! It's Krum!" The shouts of surprise and joy never stopped, as if they were back at the Quidditch World Cup.
The crowds on the grassland were actually a bit chaotic.
The teachers at Hogwarts were busy greeting Madam Maxime and Igor Karkaf.
Hagrid was busy calming the horses that had been frightened by the cheering.
Students jostled each other for a glimpse of the visitor.
There was one student from each of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons that attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Krum is famous and has many fans in Hogwarts, needless to say.
Among the Beauxbatons delegation, there was a beautiful and graceful girl.
She instantly attracted the attention of many male students.
Even though the crowd was noisy and chaotic, Harry and Draco found each other's sight surprisingly easily.
They stared at each other quietly, with smiles on their faces.
Krum's appearance reminded both of them of the World Cup.
In the evening glow, Harry couldn't tell whether Draco's cheeks were flushed with shyness.
I just felt that her golden hair reflected the light of the lake, and her figure fluttering in the wind was so poetic and picturesque.
Ron was completely unaware that he had been seduced by the girl from Beauxbatons under Hermione's glare.
-
Led by Dumbledore, everyone went to the auditorium to prepare for the welcoming dinner.
Ron seemed to have left a seat vacant, trying to get Krum to sit there.
But Karkaf recognized Draco.
After greeting the Malfoy daughter with great courtesy, Krum was arranged to sit with Draco.
Ron was indignant about this and kept cursing during the meal.
Harry wasn't in a much better mood.
Throughout the entire dinner, he kept his eyes on Krum.
I kept convincing myself that Draco and Krum's conversation was
These were just the social interactions that were expected of a member of her upper-class family.
When Hermione finally gave in to Ron's complaints, Harry happily seconded them.
"Can you please eat your meal? Why are you making such a fuss? He's just a Quidditch player." "Yes. But
Just a Quidditch player."
"Harry?! Just a Quidditch player?! What the hell are you talking about?!"
Dinner at Hogwarts hadn't been this lively for a long time, and a lot of fun happened because of it.
One of the little episodes was when the enchanting girl from Beauxbatons came up to Harry.
When asked if they wanted to continue enjoying the fish soup of Provence,
Ron had this obsessed look on his face that Hermione hated.
"I'm telling you, that girl definitely has Veela blood."
"There are no super beauties of this level in Hogwarts."
"She is the one who is weird~(*?_?)ノ⌒*!"
Hermione said disdainfully, and Harry continued to speak.
"The girls at Hogwarts are pretty good."
"To be honest, the temperament of the girls from Hogwarts is much better than hers."
Ron once again gaped at Harry, a little worried that Hermione had put him under the Imperius Curse.
But Harry was too busy staring at the Slytherin table.
Krum seemed to be trying to pour Draco a drink.
Harry was satisfied to see that Draco took up his folding fan to cover his lower face, shaking his head in refusal.
Helpless glances kept coming towards me.
-
The dinner came to a close with the appearance of Mr. Crouch and Ludo Bagman.
What surprised Draco was that no matter how busy the occasion was,
Seeing Mr. Crouch, who always touched the front of his hat with his hand,
When his eyes met his, he just ignored him and walked towards the table.
I wondered secretly, and then felt a little sad.
He guessed that maybe it was because of his connection with the Dark Mark that Mr. Crouch no longer maintained his manners.
After all, his hatred of evil is well known.
Dumbledore stood up and introduced Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch before explaining the rules of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked very hard over the past few months to prepare this tournament for us."
"The two of them will form a jury with me, Madame Maxime, and Professor Kakaf to score the fighters' performances."
Dumbledore waved to the jury, and there was polite applause.
"As I said at the beginning of the school year, this year's three tasks will run throughout the entire school year,"
"A test of the three fighters' magic skills, courage, reasoning and judgment, and their ability to deal with danger."
The constant mention of the word "fighter" whetted the appetite of the students from the three schools in the auditorium.
"As you all know, the three fighters are represented by one representative from each of the three schools."
"The judging panel will give scores based on the performance of each task,"
“The one with the highest total points will be crowned the champion.
"And the three participating fighters will be selected by an impartial referee—"
When Dumbledore spoke of "impartial judges",
The caretaker, Filch, happened to be carrying an exquisitely carved box onto the platform.
"This referee is the Goblet of Fire."
Dumbledore raised his voice dramatically and tapped his wand three times on the trunk.
The lid of the box slowly slid open, revealing a large wooden cup that was roughly chopped with an axe.
Although it looks ordinary, the blue and white flames dancing in the cup and overflowing the rim,
This shows that this is definitely not an ordinary magic item.
"All those who want to become fighters will have a full twenty-four hours,"
"Write your name and the school you represent on a piece of parchment and throw it into the Goblet of Fire."
As Dumbledore's tone became more passionate, the students' reactions became more and more enthusiastic.
"Tomorrow night, we will return to the auditorium to announce this year's fighter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall erupted in warm applause, which was quickly extinguished by Dumbledore's words.
"In addition, in order to prevent students under the age of seventeen from being tempted,"
"Once the Goblet of Fire is in place, I will personally draw a circle of age restriction lines around it."
"You would not want to test my magical abilities on yourselves."
He winked playfully, and finally—
"Let me remind you all not to treat the Triwizard Tournament as a joke."
"Once you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, it will form a magical contract with powerful binding force."
"In other words, once you become a fighter, there is no room for regret."
So please double check before you put your name in the Goblet of Fire."
"That's all! Go to bed! Good night!"
The data is still falling every day, and I am still asking for gifts!!! Those who don’t have the ability should give more gifts to show their love! (Each person can give three gifts, and please give all the free gifts. Now there are really not many people giving gifts compared to before!) I don’t mind paid gifts!!! It’s still the extra update plan, you should have seen it before!
