Dumbledore took the opportunity to change the topic, and after chatting with Bagman and Crouch for a while, he announced:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and distinguished guests!
It is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here."
A Beauxbatons girl still wrapped her scarf tightly around her head and let out a sarcastic sneer.
The eyes of countless Hogwarts students in the auditorium instantly shifted to her.
Those unfriendly glances made him lower his head and wrap his head with a scarf even harder.
Dumbledore didn't care and continued:
"The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet. Now, please enjoy eating and drinking, just like at home!"
After Dumbledore finished speaking, the plates in front of everyone were immediately filled with various foods.
It can be seen that Hogwarts really values this banquet very much.
Because the dishes that appeared this time were almost all foreign dishes that John had never seen before.
Most of them are French cuisine.
Let me tell you, this is actually a bit strange.
Shouldn’t more dishes with local characteristics be used in this kind of banquet?
People came all the way from their hometown to come to China, but you still let them eat hometown food.
Didn’t this person come here in vain?
However, considering that there are indeed not many local dishes available in Yuan cuisine, this is understandable.
At least the people in Beauxbatons have no problem with this.
They don't seem to have much favorable impressions of anything about Hogwarts, and even feel a sense of disgust.
So most of them only focus on eating French food for insurance and safety.
'This is a group of conservative people who feel they are superior.'
John made this evaluation in his mind.
Unlike the people in Beauxbatons, the people in Hogwarts and Durmstrang all ate happily.
Everyone ate this for a while, and ate that for a while, looking very happy.
The only person present who still maintains elegant dining etiquette, besides Beauxbatons, is Slytherin.
Not only did they sit upright when dining, but they also carried forward the principle of "eating without speaking", showing silence, quietness and elegance.
This made everyone in Durmstrang, who looked like a Gryffindor, admire Slytherin very much.
I think this is a group of well-educated people.
What they didn't know was that Slytherin simply didn't want to communicate with them anymore.
This is entirely due to John's influence.
The voice George shouted earlier completely changed the atmosphere of everyone in Hogwarts in the Great Hall.
At the same time, it also affected the thinking of Slytherins.
If you talk to the people in Durmstrang too much at this time, you might be considered a rip-off!
And what George said was right.
They already had John, so why bother bothering Durmstrang's people?
It should be the people from Durmstrang who are pestering them with questions!
Ever since, pride, even arrogance, has returned to the faces of the Slytherins.
Especially Draco.
He is definitely a top talent in this area.
His special skill of looking at people through his nostrils even confused Krum.
Draco really admired John now.
Even he, like most other people, is just trying to get closer to Klum, and uses his outstanding relationship with a big celebrity like Klum to show others his own superiority and specialness.
sex.
John, on the other hand, took a different approach.
Using an indifferent attitude to show his disdain for Durmstrang and Klum can fully highlight John's superior status, his own strength and his noble character, making people respect him.
Of these two options, the latter is undoubtedly much better than the former!
'As expected of John! You can pretend to be so unique even if you pretend to be beta!'
Thinking of this, Draco's gaze towards John became even more intense.
It's a pity that John didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment.
John is dealing with Alice.
"John, don't drink this fish soup. Except for a little bit of umami, it only has a fishy smell. You should try this."
As Alice spoke, she placed a plate of cut steak in front of John.
John frowned and glared at Alice.
He thought this was outrageous.
You know, he had just issued a death threat to Alice a few hours ago.
Shouldn't a normal person be so scared at this time that they tremble when they see him?
Why is Alice still leaning towards him?
Does this woman still have a tendency to flirt?
Taking a deep breath, John didn't touch the plate of steak or the pot of fish soup, but ate a piece of barbecue.
no way.
He can issue death threats to Alice for Michelle, and even kill her directly.
Even at this critical moment of the Triwizard Tournament, the death of a student will have serious consequences.
For Michelle, John is willing to take this risk.
But now Alice is just hanging around him, looking like she wants to please him and is stalking him.
Killing someone for something like this is a bit excessive.
It's not worth it from a rationale or a cost perspective.
Can the threat be repeated?
Is this kind of threat without real murderous intention really useful to Alice?
John was deeply suspicious of this.
After all, Alice is also a very smart person.
The dinner party soon came to an end.
When the golden plates were scrubbed fresh, Dumbledore stood up again.
A mood of excitement and nervousness seemed to pervade the auditorium.
"The moment has finally arrived," Dumbledore said loudly. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. Before that, please allow me to introduce two guests, because there are still people who don't know them. This is Barty Clark.
Mr. Rauch, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic. There is also another Ludo Bagman..."
There was some sporadic applause in the auditorium.
This is just polite.
The truth is that no one likes to hear these two introduce themselves before hearing key information about the Triwizard Tournament.
"I am pleased to announce," Dumbledore said, "that they will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Madam Maxime to form a panel of judges to evaluate the performance of the warriors."
While Dumbledore was speaking, Filch had already arrived at the podium holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels.
"Please put it up."
Dumbledore nodded at Filch and continued, "Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the projects for this year's Triwizard Tournament.
They also made many necessary arrangements for each project.
There are three projects in total, each conducted at different times during the school year.
They will respectively test the warriors' magical talents, their courage and reasoning ability, and of course, their courage and ability to overcome danger!"
"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition," Dumbledore said calmly, "each representing a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event. After the three events are completed, the one with the highest score will
The champion will win the Triwizard Cup. The one responsible for choosing the champion is an impartial selector, which is the Goblet of Fire."
