Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 29 The Goblet of Fire

No one noticed how long Filch had been in the corner of the hall, walking towards Dumbledore with an old large jeweled box, the students chatting excitedly, while Lockhart Is staring hard at the box.

"Mr. Scrimgeour and Mr. Bagmont have already checked the mission statement for this year's champions," Filch had carefully placed the box on the table in front of him as Dumbledore spoke. "They The necessary preparations have been made for each challenge. Three missions will run throughout the school year, and they will test players in different ways, testing their magical abilities, daring, reasoning skills, and of course, their ability to deal with danger.”

"The three contestants will be selected by the Goblet of Fire!" As the voice fell, the box opened by itself, revealing the huge wooden cup inside, with blue and white flames jumping inside.

As long as Lockhart is optimistic about this cup and allows it to successfully select 3 players, even if Barty Jr has great ability, there is no way to get Harry Potter away.

"Applicants must write the name and school neatly on the parchment, and then throw the parchment into the cup," Dumbledore said. Just before Halloween, the Goblet of Fire will give the name of the player it has selected that is most qualified to represent their school. Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the entrance hall, and anyone who wants to sign up can enter, in order to avoid the temptation of minors to sign up Enter," Dumbledore said. "Once the Goblet of Fire is in the Population Hall, I'll draw an age line around it that no one under 17 can cross. Finally, I want to remind you that this contest is not Anyone who wants to participate at will, once selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she must play the game to the end. Because putting a name in the cup naturally forms a binding magic contract. Once you become a player, you cannot Change your mind. So, before throwing your name into the glass, make sure you think about whether you are really ready to fight. Well, I think it's time for everyone to rest and good night."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Lockhart sat down on a stool at the entrance of the hall. He only trusted his own eyes. He decided to look at the Goblet of Fire for twenty-four hours. Anyone who wanted to do something would attack directly. !

Some students watched the Goblet of Fire from a distance away from Lockhart, seemingly discussing ways to sign up for under-17s.

Lockhart watched students sign up from a distance, and basically dropped the note and left. After Fleur Delacour finished signing up, she approached Lockhart and said, "Mr. Lockhart, what are you doing here, aren't you going to rest?"

A bell-like voice interrupted Lockhart's thoughts. "Well, I was just here to see who's signed up, and I'm curious about how the age line works."

"Professor not only likes adventure, but also likes to study this kind of uncommon magic. It's really a wide range of interests."

"Actually, I'm more interested in a beautiful girl like you." Lockhart showed a sinister smile.

"Professor is really joking. I have always liked Professor's books, can you sign me?" Fleur stared at Lockhart with her beautiful big eyes.

"Of course, very happy!" After signing the name, Fleur said goodbye to Lockhart.

Lockhart took some potion that would keep him awake, and stared at the Goblet of Fire all night so viciously, it was obviously a stupid idea, but it worked.

The night passed and no one came, except Mr. Filch, who got up early to clean up the next morning, and was taken aback by Lockhart.

After breakfast, many students came to the entrance of the hall to watch the Goblet of Fire. It is worth mentioning that Pandora Fudge brought some food after knowing that Lockhart had not eaten breakfast. In return, Lockhart gave him some food. Slytherin added five points, causing a commotion around him.

There was a sudden burst of laughter from the students, and Fred Weasley and George Weasley rushed downstairs,

They looked very excited.

"It's done." Fred said triumphantly to the students around him, then walked towards the Goblet of Fire.

This scene, which is exactly the same as the original plot, made Lockhart feel powerless. He even felt that the Goblet of Fire had been confounded by the Confusion Curse at this time, and all his efforts were in vain, which made Lockhart an unnamed fire. come out--

"Fred! What are you doing over there! I remember you're not yet 17 years old!" Fred was startled, and only then did he see Lockhart in the corner, "Hurry up! Go, or deduct points for Gryffindor!"

Fred muttered something, and George left in a hurry. Lockhart was probably talking bad about him or something, and the other students were talking about it.

For the next time, Lockhart was relieved as he watched one student after another sign up, but no one did anything.

The Salvation Trio also appeared, walking to Lockhart as if wanting to talk.

"Harry, go buy me a lunch, please." Lockhart said actively.

"Oh, good professor." Harry always looked good in front of Lockhart.

Harry brought 4 lunches, and the 4 of them had lunch together.

"Professor, what are you doing here?" Ron asked inarticulately as he ate.

"I have a bad feeling that someone is going to use the Triwizard Tournament against Harry."

"Bad to Harry?" Hermione said in surprise. "But Harry can't play."

"That's why I'm here to watch, to prevent anyone from tampering with the Goblet of Fire." Lockhart took a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

"But I'm not 17 years old yet." Harry stopped, "I can't participate even if someone signs me up."

"The 17-year-old rule is set this time, and there's always some magical sorcery that can confuse the Goblet of Fire."

"Professor, you protect Harry so much, but Harry doesn't necessarily appreciate it." Ron added, "Harry really wants to participate in this competition, eternal glory!"

Lockhart looked at Harry solemnly: "Harry, promise me, don't be self-willed, you have more important tasks on your shoulders."

Harry said helplessly, "Okay professor, I won't be participating."
