147. Changed game rules (please subscribe!)
The auditorium suddenly exploded.
The students' reaction was even more emotional than when they learned that the Quidditch match had been cancelled.
"My God, I heard that right!"
"This shouldn't be an April Fool's joke! 35
"They actually did resume this game!"
Moody and Hagrid stared blankly around the Gryffindor students who were excitedly discussing the news, their expressions clearly saying, who will tell us what's going on in this Triwizard Tournament.
In the end Hermione became the kind man.
"The Triwizard Tournament was created about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest schools of magic in Europe. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magical projects. The Triwizard Tournament, held every five years and hosted by the three schools in turn, was agreed that it was an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to form friendships - but then the death toll in the tournament was so high that the Triwizard Tournament The game was interrupted."
26 thought Moody and Hagrid would be frightened by the dead in the game, but in fact the two were not focused on this at all.
"There's still such an exciting competition between the three magic schools?" was Moody's answer.
"Are there any prizes for winning the race?" This was Hagrid.
Recently, Hagrid has been short of money to raise Aragog.
Hermione felt it was a mistake to discuss the matter with the two of them, she turned to look at Dunn beside her, and said in a low voice, "I don't think this is right!
Under Dunn's unsurprised and encouraging eyes, Hermione continued: "I mean, the Triwizard Tournament shouldn't be held at this time, and now that the wizarding world is so tense, and Beauxbatons has suffered another setback, There is simply no ability to send people to the competition.”
Dunn glanced at Beauxbatons' long table, the group of young wizards from France were all shocked and dazed.
Hermione's voice continued.
"The Triwizard Tournament requires students over the age of 17 to sign up, and none of the current Beauxbatons meet that requirement.
Dunn pouted and replied casually.
"Maybe this is exactly what the other party wanted?"
Hermione was taken aback.
She didn't understand what Dunn meant.
"The Triwizard Tournament doesn't necessarily have to send people from all three schools, doesn't it? If the conditions for participation are not met, a school can choose to abstain."
Hermione's eyes widened.
Beauxbatons has just announced the rebuilding, and if he withdraws from the Triwizard Tournament at this time, his reputation, which he has finally recovered, will suffer a great blow.
In an instant, Hermione wanted to understand everything.
There is no doubt that it was Armstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who proposed the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament.
Because the famous Dark Lord Gellert Greenwald is the current headmaster of Armstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
All of this is a chain reaction of Dumbledore's early appointment as headmaster of Hogwarts.
The day after the British Ministry of Magic announced Dumbledore as headmaster of Hogwarts, Armstrong announced Greenwald as the school's new headmaster.
From this point of view, the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament against Beauxbatons is second, and Greenwald's real purpose should be to have an air-to-air duel with Dumbledore.
The Triwizard Tournament is the stage for the two to fight.
Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help looking up at Dumbledore, who was busy communicating with other professors on the staff bench.
"Quiet!
Dao Ge-Gorsak had to speak up again to maintain order.
Dumbledore also ended his conversation with the other professors and looked back at everyone.
"What did you just say? By the way, the Triwizard Tournament, I don't need to introduce more to you about this event with a long history. What I want to tell you is that the restoration of the Triwizard Tournament this time is a Proposed by Armstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is known to have been controlled by Greenwald, and even so, I agreed to it, because I thought that if the enemy was to be avoided in the future, why not be on the playing field first How about a fight with your opponent first?"9
The auditorium immediately burst into warm applause.
The students, including Beauxbatons, applauded vigorously.
Clearly, Dumbledore's words gave everyone a lot of confidence.
After the applause stopped for a while, Dumbledore continued: "Obviously, now that the Triwizard Tournament is resumed, both the nature and purpose of the tournament have already deviated from the real Triwizard Tournament, and the natural rules must also be changed. ."
"Armstrong's proposal to hold the competition in a neutral location was rejected by me. The Triwizard Tournament has always been held by three schools in turn. According to the previous order, the Triwizard Tournament must be held at Hogwarts. If Armstrong School refuses, they can choose to withdraw!
There was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.
Beauxbaton's students all knew that Dumbledore was using this method to restore Beauxbaton's reputation, and his favor with Dumbledore soared for a while.
Dumbledore shrugged.
"Unfortunately, they did not withdraw from the competition, and also proposed to revise the age rules of the contestants. According to the normal regulations, only students over the age of 17 can sign up for the competition.
"It's not fair!" Moody yelled.
The tense atmosphere in the auditorium was broken, and everyone looked at Moody.
Dumbledore gave Moody a meaningful look and joked, "It's not fair, Mr Moody, if I hadn't known you from parents who were excellent Aurors, I'd really suspect you were a spy for Armstrong, at his request. Just like you, they feel that the lower grades should be allowed to compete!
Moody froze for a moment.
He just complained, how could he be a spy?
Dumbledore's expression returned to seriousness in a roar of good-natured laughter.
"After serious discussions with the Ministry of Magic, I agreed to the request made by Armstrong School, but we also proposed to revise the upper limit of the competition age. Students in the lower grades are allowed to sign up for the competition, but at the same time, students above the fourth grade will not be allowed to participate in the competition!"
Those seniors who were laughing at Moody just now, all opened their mouths and couldn't laugh anymore.
Dumbledore didn't look like he was joking.
What exactly is going on?.
