"Oh, Irina, look, they all seem very disappointed."
Amid the noise, Hermione, who was sitting next to Irina, said this, looking at the young wizards of Beauxbatons sitting at the long table of Ravenclaw.
In fact, the word "disappointed" is too light. After learning that Fleur was chosen, the two little witches from Beauxbatons who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried sadly.
Since the Goblet of Fire chose Fleur, it meant that Fleur was the most suitable witch to be a warrior in Beauxbatons. How could those little witches who claimed to be much stronger than half-blooded veela accept this?!
After Fleur also entered the next room, the hall fell silent again, and this time the silence was filled with a strong excitement that could be tasted.
Because, the next piece of parchment to be drawn will have the name of the champion of Hogwarts!
At this time, the Goblet of Fire turned red again, sparks flew, and the flames jumped high into the air. Dumbledore pulled out the third piece of parchment from the tip of the flames.
After seeing the name written on the parchment, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with relief, and he said loudly: "The warrior of Hogwarts, Lynn Rowle!"
As Dumbledore finished his words, the sound that erupted almost blew off the ceiling of the hall. Compared with the applause and cheers in the hall, there were many more exclamations from the young wizards.
Most of the young wizards clearly remembered that Lynn was clearly less than seventeen years old.
He is just a fifth-year wizard. How can he cross the age limit set by Dumbledore himself and put his name into the Goblet of Fire? !
"Shadow! Rowle is only in the fifth grade. He can't be a warrior of Hogwarts!"
A Gryffindor lion cub yelled.
Gryffindor and Slytherin are in opposition in most cases. Partnerships like Lynn and Irina, where one is in Slytherin and the other is in Gryffindor, are rare. Most of the young wizards in these two houses subconsciously hate each other.
Therefore, even though Lynn was a hero who had repelled the remnant of Voldemort, killed the basilisk that had survived for a thousand years, and saved Hogwarts, he could not avoid the hostility of some Gryffindor little lions towards him.
Of course, influenced by what Lynn had done over the years, many Gryffindor lions in the second year and above had goodwill towards Lynn. There were actually not too many lions like the one who had just shouted out against Lynn.
However, many seventh-year wizards who thought they could become warriors of Hogwarts began to stand up for themselves at this time.
"That's right, this is definitely a shady deal!"
"I don't accept it. Rowle is not even seventeen years old. How can he be selected by the Goblet of Fire?!"
"We strongly demand that Rowle be disqualified from participating in the Triwizard Tournament and that the champion of Hogwarts be re-elected!"
"…"
These seventh-year wizards who cast their names into the Goblet of Fire were all speaking loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction.
At this time, Lynn had stood up from his seat, walked in front of Dumbledore, and stood on the podium.
However, Lynn did not walk towards the door leading to the next room. Instead, he turned around and swept his cold eyes over the seventh-year wizards who opposed him one by one.
Lynn said calmly, "Perhaps you have already forgotten that when Professor Dumbledore announced the Triwizard Tournament, he said, 'Unless you are strong enough to break the magic I set.' This also means that if I can break the age limit set by Dumbledore for the Goblet of Fire and cast my name into the Goblet of Fire, then my behavior is in accordance with the rules."
"Since it is in accordance with the rules for me to put my name into the Goblet of Fire, then the selection of the Goblet of Fire is a normal process of survival of the fittest, and there is no so-called shady dealings. If you put your names into the Goblet of Fire but were not selected by it... hehe, maybe it's just because you are not as good as me."
Lynn said this, and at the end he chuckled. His contemptuous look made many seventh-year wizards turn pale.
However, those seventh-year wizards had to admit that Lynn was right. After all, if what Lynn did was really in accordance with the rules, then the Goblet of Fire did not choose them because they were indeed inferior in skills.
After Lynn finished speaking, Dumbledore smiled and clapped his hands, supporting what Lynn said.
So Lynn didn't stay here for too long. He winked at Irina who was sitting at the Gryffindor table, then walked through the door into the next room.
After Lynn left, Dumbledore looked at the young wizards below.
However, just as he was about to announce the end of the selection of champions for the Triwizard Tournament, the blue-white flame in the Goblet of Fire turned red again, and sparks burst out with a "crackling" sound. A long tongue of fire suddenly jumped into the air and lifted up another piece of parchment.
As if subconsciously, Dumbledore stretched out a slender hand and grabbed the parchment. He stared at the name written on it.
In the suddenly silent hall, Dumbledore stared at the note in his hand, and everyone in the hall stared at Dumbledore.
After a moment, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud: "Harry Potter."
…
In the next room, after seeing Lynn coming, Krum just nodded to him, and Fleur, who knew Lynn's age, exclaimed: "Oh my God, why are you here, Lynn?! Didn't Professor Dumbledore say that only young wizards who are seventeen years old or older can participate in the selection of the Triwizard Tournament?!"
After hearing what Fleur said, Krum looked sideways with a look of surprise.
Lynn explained: "I broke the age limit set by Professor Dumbledore, cast my name into the Goblet of Fire, and then I was selected. Professor Dumbledore once said this, so it is in accordance with the rules."
Fleur's eyes sparkled, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to break the restrictions set by Professor Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of this century. You are really amazing!"
Hearing this, Lynn chuckled and said, "If you have felt that restriction, then you should be able to perceive that it is not a magical restriction, but an alchemical restriction. You should understand who my master is, right?"
After hearing Lynn's words, Fleur suddenly realized that she certainly knew who Lynn's master was, Nicolas Flamel, the recognized great alchemist!
If even Nicolas Flamel's apprentice couldn't break this ban, then she really couldn't think of any other young wizard in Hogwarts who could break the alchemical ban set by Dumbledore.
Just as Lynn was communicating with Fleur, the door was opened again.
Harry walked in through the door in a daze.
