Since Principal Dumbledore announced and explained the relevant matters and precautions of the Triple Championship at the end of the dinner last night, and placed the trophy with magical flames, the "Grove of Fire" in the foyer of the auditorium so that all students willing to represent their schools to participate in the election, and threw parchment with their names into its flames to participate in the election, until noon today, there has been no quiet here.

Countless students who wanted to participate in the "Triple Tripod Championship", whether out of the curiosity of the competition or confidence in their abilities, came here without exception, openly or secretly, and then threw the parchment paper with their names into the Goblet of Fire, turning those parchments into ashes in the magic flames, becoming one of the many candidates in the Three Tripod Championship.

Then,

Of course, besides those confident and brave students, those guys who are not old and capable enough and have to make up for the numbers.

However, it is lunch time now, and there are actually very few people in the auditorium foyer...

Because most people have already gone to lunch, those who want to participate in the Triumph Championship have already signed up last night or in the morning. In addition, it is Halloween tonight, and the list of elected candidates of the three schools will be announced at that time. Therefore, only those who have just come here to register are left with some sneaky "ulterior motives" and a few reserved guys.

For example, earlier, two twin brothers who hurriedly left the scene with their chins covered their chins and laughed at the crowd, George and Fred, who liked to be funny and sold strange items? Of course, there must be some of the lower-grade students who were directly bounced away by the age line of the Goblet of Fire.

After all, according to the age line established by Principal Dumbledore and surrounding the Goblet of Fire, students who are not old are definitely not qualified to participate in the dangerous Triple Championship. Age is equivalent to learning magic and mastering relevant knowledge, and that will definitely not be able to deal with the various difficulties that occur in the Triple Championship... No matter how much the Triple Championship is, the Triple Championship is not a game. Once a mistake occurs during the game, the most serious situation will be really fatal. That is not something you can just joke about!

Isn't this?

‘Uh…’

With a terrible cry, the hall suddenly started to make a fuss again after a short while of silence!

It sounds like a guy tried to register illegally and was ruthlessly bounced away by the age line of the Goblet of Fire?

‘Ha! Is he okay?’

‘It’s okay! But it’s definitely not that good…’

‘I’ll just say, he’s only in the fourth grade, how could he be qualified? I know him, he’s the younger brother of Fred and George. Has he not learned the lessons of his brothers yet?’

'have no idea……'

‘Okay, it’s getting late, let’s go back soon.’

‘Yes, it’s time to go to dinner, I’m almost hungry.’

‘Let’s go…’

However, after a burst of noise and gloating laughter, perhaps because the time is at this time of lunch, the place finally gradually became quiet.

Anyway, that kind of thing has happened many times since last night. Many of the students at Hogwarts didn't take the Principal's warning seriously... So, they are just laughing at it now, and not taking the kind of thing that they have seen many times too much.

‘…’

'hateful!!'

After all the people in the hall were exposed, a guy who had just been bounced off climbed up and tried several times. However, he found that there was no way to throw the parchment with his name into the goblet of flame. He finally tore the paper into pieces in annoyance, and threw it into the trash can on the side.

'hiss……'

'it hurts……'

The boy who was ridiculed for overestimating his ability to sign up was Ron!

He touched his cheek and found that his face seemed to have scratched him because of his wrong position on the ground. While he was very upset, he could only look at the goblet of fire and the age line around him with a resentment and reluctance, and then turned around dejectedly and quickly turned out to the foyer.

He must leave here as soon as possible before more people come to the foyer of the auditorium and see his embarrassment, otherwise he will be laughed at by someone!

Although he was not the first, nor would he be the last person to try to sign up... However, the fewer people knew about the fact that he fought with his brothers and then came to sign up for the Triumph Championship and was rejected by the Goblet of Fire.

‘…’

‘Hey! Hermione, today was amazing!’

‘We had a big meal last night, but it happened to be Halloween again today. I saw Hagrid just now. He commanded several big carriages to transport a lot of super big pumpkins. I guess the dishes tonight must be very rich, right?’

‘Harry…’

‘I don’t think there is anything to look forward to. The Hogwarts house elves were busy all day yesterday and today they were going to prepare for Halloween dinner for us. That kind of thing was not fair to them at all!’

'ah?'

'But Hermione, the house elves are happy to do that...'

‘No! Harry!’

‘You are not them, how do you know they are happy to do that? Look at them, they are all thin, they are not paid, they have no holidays, no new clothes, and no one even cares about how they feel!!’

'But……'

‘Hermione, you are not a house elves, how do you know they are not happy? Maybe, they like to work...’

‘Also, they really don’t like new clothes…’

The two walked towards this side from a distance, and then they talked about something at the same time. Soon, after Harry's last rebuttal with a little lack of confidence, the two finally walked outside the hall of the auditorium and saw a slightly embarrassed figure rushing out of the hall, almost bumping into them who had just passed by.

"Ah~!"

"Ah! You...Ron?!"

Obviously, Harry and Hermione were shocked by the other party's sudden behavior. While exclaiming, they quickly reached out to support the other party who looked a little embarrassed before the other party almost hit the guardrail in the corridor.

"Ron, what are you doing?"

Harry was a little strange. He had just gone to dinner with Hermione and hadn't seen Ron. He was still a little strange. But who would have thought that the other party actually hid here?

However, what Harry couldn't understand was: the other party didn't go to eat properly as usual at lunchtime, but ran here, what's the point?

"I said Ron, you are really..."

"etc!"

"Strange, you just came out of the foyer...ah! I think I know, you actually signed up for the Goblet of Fire. Are you really crazy?!"

"Did your face just fall?"

Hermione and Harry looked at each other and exclaimed directly.

Because, when the two saw Ron's dusty appearance, their faces were even scratched, looking red, and seemed to be broken. When they thought about what was in the hall and similar situations they saw this morning, they didn't know what the other party did not go to eat and hide here?!

It was obvious that Ron must have signed up for the competition, and the result was self-evident, and the injury on the other party's face explained everything.

"I'm not crazy!"

"I...I just want to try it, it doesn't matter if I try it..."

Ron opened Hermione's hand that wanted to check his face, and refused to check the injuries on his face.

Because he felt that he had nothing to do with himself, at most he had a little scratch and felt a little stinging pain... Later, he immediately went to Ms. Pomfrey's place and asked the other party for some medicine to apply. It should be no big deal, so he didn't need to embarrass the eyes in front of these two friends!

Besides, he is not the most serious one.

In fact, many of the students in Hogwarts are like him now. They are injured by the Goblet of Fire's protective magic bounced out and fell after voting. There is nothing strange about it... And the two twin brothers of Ron, George and Fred, were even worse. They each used a drop of age enhancer to deceive the Goblet of Fire, but now the goat is covered in white beard, and even Ms. Pomfrey has no good way. She can only wait for the medicine to disappear by itself. She doesn't know how long it will be ridiculed, and she doesn't know when she will be able to eliminate her beard!

'Why……'

"Ron, you really dare to think and do..."

Hearing that the other party had actually injured his face because he went to register illegally, Hermione sighed and shook her head.

You know, she and Harry know the abilities of their friend Ron. Now even Hermione dares to sign up for her, and Harry is even the same. How could Ron dare to do that?

That's really messy...

'Hi!'

‘Hi! Hello, Harry and Hermione?’

‘Hmm? Ron, what's wrong with your face?’

At this time, the twin sisters Parvati Pettier and Padma Pettier came over with a smile. They first greeted Harry and Hermione, then looked at Ron who was hiding with curious eyes and asked strangely.

Because they saw that the other party was covering up, as if they were injured on their faces?

‘No…No…’

"I...I accidentally fell and the road was slippery, so...wait, what are you going to do?!"

Ron vaguely, then quickly changed the subject and asked back.

"Why are you all..."

Because he found that whether it was Harry or Hermione, or the two sisters Padma Pettier and Pavati Pettier just came, they and more students seemed to be walking towards this side, and they were holding notebooks in their hands?

This kind of thing made Ron feel strange...

Because he knew that lunch time had just passed, it should be the free time for lunch break, and he chose to come here secretly when there were few people here now to sign up for the Goblet of Fire to participate in the Three Thousands Championship... But now, why are so many people hurriedly walking towards this side?

Could it be that they, like him, Ron, want to sign up?

If that is the case, he could tell them responsibly: Dumbledore's age line and protective magic set up are very effective, and if they dare to get close, they will definitely be popped up before they can throw their name into the Goblet of Fire!

Moreover, even if it is thrown in from a distance, it is useless, because the Goblet of Fire will also spit out the parchment with the name written on it. He had just tried many ways he could think of, and the final result was the same.

‘Of course we are going to take up the spot!’

'ah!!'

‘Parvati, please stop talking. We should hurry up. If we go late, the good position will be occupied by others first…’

‘Sorry, let’s go first!’

After saying that, the two twin sisters' expressions changed. When they thought of something, they hurriedly begged the three of them, and then quickly left with their hands and continued to trot forward and left.
