As it gets darker and darker, the Hogwarts Express finally arrives.

The weather outside was very bad, and lightning flashed from time to time in the dark sky.

Then the rumble of thunder will sound.

As usual, John carried the magic suitcase, used the [Unified Protection Spell] that had been re-solidified on it to protect everyone from the wind and rain, and escorted everyone to an open space outside the station.

One hundred carriages pulled by Thestrals were waiting for them.

Everyone gets on the bus one by one.

The door slammed shut, and a moment later, with a violent jolt, the long carriage team began to march towards Hogwarts, splashing water all the way.

Draco was still discussing the 'big thing' with John with great interest.

In his opinion, through this incident, Slytherin's voice in Hogwarts will surely reach a new and higher level.

It wasn't until the carriage, swaying under the roar of the wind, passed the gate with winged boar sculptures on both sides and arrived at Hogwarts that Draco finally stopped talking.

Under the command of Professor McGonagall, everyone sat in the auditorium and began to wait for the sorting ceremony to begin.

The old students have begun to adjust their emotions and deliberately put on serious expressions.

This is specifically used to scare new students.

That's what they like to do.

But John's eyes were always wandering around the faculty seats, hoping to find Moody.

Unfortunately, although there was indeed an empty seat next to Snape, John did not see Moody.

Apparently, as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Moody was late on his first day reporting for work.

And Moody's wasn't just a few minutes late.

He did not appear in the entire subsequent sorting ceremony or even the welcome dinner.

The strange thing is that none of the professors, including Dumbledore, have any intention of looking for him.

It was as if there was a tacit understanding that Moody would not attend.

"This is not surprising at all!" Draco explained, "As I said before in the car, Mad-Eye Moody has severe persecution delusions! He never eats food cooked by others.

, and handed water, even his closest friends did the same thing. It’s strange that such a person would come to the dinner party!”

John nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he put the last dessert pudding in front of him into his mouth with a spoon.

And when he swallowed all the food in his mouth, the dinner was over.

The messy dining table in front of everyone instantly returned to its neat and clean appearance, and even the dinner plates were wiped until they sparkled and were rearranged.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up.

The buzzing voices in the hall suddenly stopped, and only the howling of the wind and the pounding of heavy rain could be heard.

"alright!"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I think everyone has eaten and drank enough now. Then please allow me to make a few announcements.

First of all, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to tell you that this year, several more items are prohibited in the castle. They are the Screaming Ball and the Wolf Fang UFO. The entire list includes approximately 437 items.

It can be seen in Mr. Filch's office and anyone interested can check it out."

After saying that, Dumbledore may have felt that this amount was a bit outrageous, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

He continued:

"In addition, I would like to inform everyone with great regret that the College Cup Quidditch Tournament will not be held this year."

As soon as these words came out, the whole auditorium immediately became noisy again.

The Quidditch Cup can be said to be the most popular large-scale entertainment event at Hogwarts.

Especially now that the Quidditch World Cup has just ended and the heat has not passed yet.

Dumbledore canceled it when he said it was cancelled, which is really dissatisfying.

Gryffindor is already in trouble.

John could even see George and Fred rolling up their sleeves and preparing to step onto the long table in protest, while Michelle and Ginny were dragging them along.

Of course, people like John and Draco who knew the situation did not express much surprise.

John and others just looked at Dumbledore quietly, waiting for his next words.

Dumbledore continued:

“This is because there is a big event that starts in October and runs throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers’ time and energy – but I’m sure you will all have a lot of fun doing it.

I am very happy to announce to you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the entire auditorium fell silent.

After a few seconds, the noise, even louder than before, started again.

Fred broke free from Ginny's pull and stepped directly on the chair.

However, he did not protest against Dumbledore's decision to cancel the Quidditch Cup, but instead shouted in surprise:

"Are you kidding me?"

Being interrupted by him, many people in the auditorium laughed out loud.

Draco came closer to John and snickered:

"Look, the ignorant and rude Wes is here! He dares to interrupt Dumbledore. I guess he will be in trouble!"

John shook his head and said nothing.

Dumbledore is not such a stingy person.

Sure enough, Dumbledore said cheerfully:

"I'm not kidding, Mr. Weiss.

But since you mentioned joking, I heard a very interesting joke about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun, and they all entered the same tavern..."

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.

Dumbledore immediately changed his words:

"Oh - it's probably inappropriate to talk about this now, let's talk about the Triwizard Tournament. Some of you still don't know what this tournament is about, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for saying this.

Explain a little bit.

The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.

The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Each school selects a warrior, and then the 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 this is an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to establish friendships - but later, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament

It was interrupted.”

"There have been several attempts to revive the Tournament over the centuries," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports and Sports believe that another attempt

The time has come. This summer we have done a lot of work to ensure that every warrior will not encounter life-threatening danger.

In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected competitors, and the ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween.

An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete for the Triwizard Cup, win honor for their school, and receive a thousand Galleons as an individual."

"The First Clan"

The whole auditorium was boiling instantly.

A prize of one thousand galleons is no small sum.

George and Fred, two guys with entrepreneurial dreams, were completely crazy when they heard this amount.

John could also feel that the Slytherins around him were very excited.

They chattered non-stop, and while talking, they were still staring at John with intense eyes.

They value honor more than gold galleons!

And if a warrior must be chosen to represent Hogwarts!

Then if they want to come, there is only one candidate!

"John! It must be you!" Draco said excitedly, "You will be the warrior of Hogwarts and win the Triwizard Tournament! Gain glory for Hogwarts and Slytherin! When we get there

At that time, our Slytherin was not only the most outstanding house in Hogwarts, but also the most outstanding in the whole of Europe!"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding Slytherins also cheered and echoed.

Obviously, they think so too.

Amidst the cheers, John did not react much and just continued to stare at Dumbledore.
