Facing Lynn's head-patting move, Irina, who was already very sleepy, did not react at all, and her eyes looked like they might close at any time.
After learning that she could go back to rest, Irina hummed softly like a kitten, and then her whole body relaxed. She yawned and staggered towards the Gryffindor common room.
Lynn looked at Irina worriedly, who might fall to the ground at any time. He followed Irina without any hesitation, and after sending her back to the Gryffindor common room, he returned to the Slytherin common room alone to rest.
Not until both of them left the hallway did Professor Moody appear in the hallway again.
He glanced angrily at the direction where Lynn and Irina left, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Dumbledore, he actually let two little wizards protect the Goblet of Fire. Fortunately, these two damn little wizards were lazy and left before the breakfast started. Otherwise, when others got up, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to tamper with the Goblet of Fire."
It was already early in the morning when Lynn and Irina left. There were less than two hours left before the castle's breakfast banquet began. In addition, the two of them stayed here all night, and Irina stood guard at the entrance of the hall without moving. This inevitably led Professor Moody to misunderstand that the two were helpers sent by Dumbledore to guard the Goblet of Fire.
Little did they know that Lynn and Irina were actually here to tamper with the Goblet of Fire.
Professor Moody quickly crossed the age line and came to the Goblet of Fire. He waved his wand and cast a powerful Confounding Charm on the Goblet of Fire. Then he threw a piece of parchment with the name "Harry Potter" but no school name on it into the Goblet of Fire.
Under the influence of the Confusion Spell, the Goblet of Fire not only did not spit out the parchment, but also directly identified the "Harry Potter" in the parchment without the full name of the school as the warrior of the fourth non-existent magic school.
…
As soon as Lynn and Irina returned to their respective dormitories, they fell into a deep sleep. They slept until the evening of that day, when they finally got out of bed refreshed.
During the time they spent sleeping, Fred and George tried to cross the age line with aging potions during the day, but were flung away by a magical force, with long white beards growing on their chins. They had to go to the school hospital to see Madam Pomfrey for treatment.
However, after suffering the backlash of the restriction, they also realized that it was not a magical restriction, but an alchemical restriction. Therefore, the aging agent that could obscure magic had no effect on the alchemical restriction.
After learning this, they secretly cursed Dumbledore's cunning.
When Lynn and Irina walked into the candlelit auditorium, it was almost full of people.
The Goblet of Fire, which had been placed in the entrance hall, had been moved and was now placed in front of Dumbledore's empty chair in the teachers' section.
The Halloween dinner lasted much longer than usual, but perhaps because it was held for two consecutive days on a scale comparable to the four major dinners at Hogwarts, the young wizards did not seem to like the carefully prepared sumptuous dishes as much as usual.
It has been mentioned many times before that the Hogwarts Castle's annual back-to-school dinner, Halloween dinner, Christmas dinner and year-end dinner always have many delicious foods that make people linger, so these four major dinners are also the dinners that young wizards look forward to most every year.
However, at today's Halloween dinner, the little wizards kept craning their necks to look forward, with an anxious look on each of their faces. They were all restless and stood up from time to time to see if Dumbledore had finished eating.
When the golden plate returned to its original spotless state, the noise in the auditorium suddenly became much louder. The little wizards all showed excitement in their eyes and started to make a noise.
But then, after Dumbledore stood up, the hall fell silent again.
Karkaroff and Madame Maxime, standing on both sides of Dumbledore, looked as nervous and expectant as the young wizards in the audience.
Ludo Bagman had a smile on his face and winked at the little wizards from various schools, while old Barty Crouch looked uninterested, even a little bored.
Old Barty, who was used to quietness, did not like the feeling of standing in front of these noisy little wizards.
At this time, Dumbledore spoke slowly: "Well, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision. Listen, when the champion's name is announced by the Goblet of Fire, I want them to walk to the top of the hall, then walk along the teachers' seats and enter the room next door, where they will receive initial instructions."
As he spoke, he pointed to the door behind the teacher's seats.
After saying this, Dumbledore waved the wand in his hand vigorously.
Then, all the candles except those in the pumpkin lanterns went out, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a state of semi-light and semi-darkness.
The blue-white flame that came out of the Goblet of Fire shone with dazzling light, brighter than anything else in the entire hall. The blue-white flame that was bursting with sparks was even a little dazzling.
After a while, the flame in the Goblet of Fire suddenly turned red again, and a large number of sparks splashed out.
Immediately afterwards, a tongue of fire leaped into the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out from it. After seeing the parchment, everyone in the auditorium held their breath.
Dumbledore took the parchment. After seeing the name written on it, he said in a clear and powerful tone: "The champion of Durmstrang is Viktor Krum."
At this time, applause and cheers swept the entire auditorium, and Ron shouted loudly: "Not surprising at all!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Krum stood up from the Slytherin table and walked towards Dumbledore listlessly. When he arrived in front of Dumbledore, he turned right, walked in the direction of the teachers' seats, and entered the next room through the door Dumbledore mentioned.
"Great, Viktor!" Karkaroff shouted at Dumbledore's side. Although the applause in the hall was loud, people could still hear his voice. "I know you are destined to be a champion!"
After a while, the applause and conversation gradually subsided, and people's attention was focused on the Goblet of Fire again. After a few seconds, the flames turned red again, and the second parchment jumped out of the cup under the impetus of the flames.
Dumbledore announced loudly, "The champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour!"
Like last night, Fleur, who was sitting not far from Lynn, stood up. She smiled at Lynn and then walked towards Dumbledore.
