Chapter 566 Triwizard Tournament

The fear and disgust of the little wizards were obvious, but Alastor Moody, who was leaning on crutches, did not restrain his momentum at all. His magic eyes looked around the audience unscrupulously, and unexpectedly saw someone who dared to look at him. little wizard.

Being stared directly at by a strange magic eye, Ivan didn't feel anything. Instead, he looked at the other person with interest.

If he was not mistaken, the "Moody" in front of him should be a guy disguised by Barty Crouch Jr. using Polyjuice Potion.

Ivan had to sigh, Barty Crouch Jr. is really bold!

You know, Dumbledore is a master of Legilimency, and he can read some of the other person's thoughts just by looking at each other.

This means that as long as the old professor has a whim, Barty Crouch Jr.'s disguise will be revealed in minutes!

Of course, Ivan also knew that the old professor would not pry into other people's thoughts at will, unless it involved some important layout or major events related to Voldemort.

Not to mention that Moody is also an experienced legendary Auror. If he uses Legilimency rashly, he may be noticed by the other party. Therefore, before "Moody" reveals his flaws, Dumbledore is unlikely to invade due to both emotion and reason. The brain of this old friend.

Barty Crouch Jr. may have noticed this and believed in his acting skills, so he made such a risky plan!

When Ivan was looking at Moody, the other party had already retracted his gaze and walked all the way to the high platform.

Dumbledore stretched out his left hand and shook Moody's hand, whispered a few words, and then invited him to sit on an empty seat to his right.

Moody was not polite at all. After sitting down, he took away a few plates of delicious food deliberately left for him on the table.

He first sniffed nervously, then took out a knife he carried with him and poked it a few times. Finally, he poked one end of a sausage in and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Dumbledore seemed to have long been accustomed to Moody's nervous appearance. He soon faced everyone and happily told them that the person in front of them was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - Alastor Moody!

There were only a few scattered bursts of applause from the audience. Everyone was stunned by Moody's appearance and actions. They just stared at him intently, and few people agreed at all.

Perhaps realizing that everyone was not in high spirits, Dumbledore changed his tone and spoke.

"Ah, let's continue what we were talking about! There will no longer be a Quidditch Cup this school year. Instead, we will be honored to host another very exciting event!"

"This event has not been held for more than a century. I am very honored to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year!"

Dumbledore's tone was not high-pitched, but it was like throwing a boulder into a lake, causing huge waves in everyone's hearts.

No one even paid attention to the new Professor Moody. Fred Weasley stood up excitedly and said in surprise.

"Oh my God! You must be kidding, right? This is impossible!"

Some young wizards who knew about it were excited and a little unbelievable. Dumbledore once again confirmed this statement and explained the origin of the Triwizard Tournament.

To put it simply, this competition was founded more than 700 years ago to promote exchanges between the three major magic schools in Europe!

In the past, it was held every five years. The rule is that each magic school selects a brave man to compete in some dangerous and exciting magic envy. In the end, the brave man who scores the most points will gain great honor for himself and his school!

However, this kind of event was eventually interrupted due to too many deaths. Finally, thanks to the efforts of many parties, the Triwizard Tournament was resumed this year!

"Triwizard Tournament" Ivan touched his chin and murmured softly.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity to obtain legendary points, but he has not yet decided whether to participate. Unlike Harry, he doesn't have Little Crouch to help him. Even if he manages to throw his name in, the Goblet of Fire may not choose him.

While Ivan was pondering, Dumbledore had already finished describing the matters related to the Triwizard Tournament.

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium became enthusiastic, and many young wizards were ready to take action. Everyone wanted to be the warrior who Dumbledore said would represent the entire academy and achieve glory!

"We are going to compete!" George and Fred looked very excited, especially when Dumbledore said that the winner of the competition would receive a thousand galleons prize, their eyes were shining!

"I don't know how the Warriors will be chosen. Do you rely on luck to draw lots?" Ron was also a little moved. He was tempted by both Glory and Gold Galleons.

But Ron still has some self-awareness. If the selection is based on academic performance, he will definitely be in trouble!

Only by drawing lots is there a slight possibility

"Come on, Ron, such an important game wouldn't be played in such a perfunctory way! There's no way Professor Dumbledore would allow a bad warrior to represent Hogwarts and embarrass the school!" George said without hesitation. Broken Ron's fantasy.

"Maybe we can set up a duel field to see who can fight best!" Fred made a slightly more reasonable guess. After all, Professor Dumbledore said that this kind of competition seems to be very dangerous.

"Then we have no chance?" George looked at Ivan sitting aside in distress. He had seen Ivan cast spells. If he really wanted to face off, I'm afraid no one in the school could be his opponent!

"Ivan, will you participate in the Triwizard Tournament?" Fred asked quickly.

"If you can be chosen!" Ivan shrugged and replied casually.

"Then we have no chance?" George and Fred sighed. They both felt that if Ivan planned to run for election, then they would probably be out of luck.

What made them even more desperate was that Dumbledore quickly announced the selection criteria for the contestants!

"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts, but for safety reasons, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic have agreed to set an age limit for this year's competitors!"

"We will only allow students over the age of seventeen to register!" Dumbledore's expression was very serious.

"It's not fair!" George and Fred shouted in unison. Dumbledore's words undoubtedly cut off their last hope, because they were still one year shy of seventeen.

Dumbledore ignored the protests of George and Fred at all, and raised his voice and said to himself that this measure was set up to protect the warriors. The Ministry of Magic did not believe that wizards under the age of seventeen could handle it. Those dangerous events!

Ivan remained calm throughout the whole process. He had already known the rules of the competition, so of course he would not have any mood swings.

After Dumbledore said those precautions, he announced the end of the banquet and ordered the prefects of each major college to take the freshmen and students of all grades back to their dormitories.

Along the way, everyone was talking about the Triwizard Tournament, and Ivan also echoed a few words.

When he returned to the lounge, Ivan directly intercepted Hermione who was about to return to the dormitory, pulled the little witch aside, hesitated and spoke quietly.

"Hermione, remember to come out when it's 10pm!"
