Chapter 124
"You have been curious about the method of selecting warriors before, and today I can finally stop keeping you in suspense."
"This is the method of selecting warriors." Dumbledore waved his wand, and a huge box wrapped in a simple and heavy package at the end of the hall was opened with a click, revealing a huge cup that seemed to be cut from wood, with a blue flame burning inside.
Thorne: "???"
He waved his hand and ignited a flame shield. Although it was not big, compared with the flame in the wooden cup in the distance...
"It's quite different. The flame over there is... softer than yours." Draco commented.
"I don't know what kind of fire it is." Thorne nodded.
"Goblet of Fire! If any of you want to become a warrior, you can write your name and school on parchment and throw it into the flame. After 24 hours, he will select the most qualified person to become a warrior."
Dumbledore said.
......................
The next day...
Thorne and Draco slept until noon and finally remembered that there was something they hadn't done, but Draco didn't.
But Thorne, Dumbledore didn't even care about his face for him, and erased the age setting at the Triwizard Tournament meeting, if he accidentally forgot.
Hey! The two put on their clothes and took the parchment with the school name written on it, staggered to the first floor hall, and threw the parchment in.
"Done, just wait until tomorrow night." Draco breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "Do you think Dumbledore will be stunned if I am selected?"
"No, both parchments are my name." Thorne shook his head.
"Ah?"
"Just kidding you." Thorne sneered.
"You are such a person..." Draco rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to the library, what about you?" Thorne asked.
"The principal's office, help him write documents... God." Draco walked towards the principal's office with a bitter face.
In the library...
Thorne suddenly appeared behind Hermione like a ghost, and took a look at the book she was reading, a book about the war in the magic world and the goblin rebellion.
"I'm sad. You don't trust what I said." He said faintly.
"What!" Hermione suddenly closed the book, turned around, and saw Thorne's playful face.
"No, no, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I want to understand that period of history myself." Hermione waved her hand and said.
"Forget it, what's the point?" Thorne asked indifferently.
"The point is that all the magical races at that time... how should I say it, should..."
Thorne sighed and said, "Actually, they are all bad people, right? They all want to wipe out other races, and have no idea of sharing the world."
"That's it, why?" Hermione nodded.
"How can you let others snore beside your bed? Will you tolerate homeless people on the street sleeping in your bed?" Thorne responded.
"If he has no place to live." Hermione had just finished speaking when Thorne, who was very close to her, suddenly moved back nearly five meters, as if he was disgusted with Hermione.
"I haven't really met a homeless person." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Your idea is very dangerous. You can't just see the pity of homeless people. You should also see the danger of homeless people. For example, stealing your money? Killing your family members? Seeing that you are cute, do you want to do something?" Thorne came over with a speechless face and patted Hermione's head and said earnestly.
"I look cute? Uh-huh-huh~" Hermione's face suddenly turned red, and she said with a hum.
"That's not the point."
"I know, but I want to make people better. What should I do?" Hermione shook her head and said.
"One person can't make people better, unless that person is the Minister of Magic... But even if you become the Minister of Magic, I don't recommend you to do anything fancy like liberating elves, liberating goblins, and liberating centaurs." Thorne said.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time to be the Minister of Magic?" Hermione said in a depressed mood.
"You are such an interesting person. You don't see the people who are struggling to survive among the dark wizards, the people who are struggling to make ends meet and can't afford to eat, the people who are bullied by powerful wizards, and the people who are captured by Muggles for experiments. How can you see centaurs, goblins, elves and the like? Are humans not enough for you to save? Or are humans not as noble as those beasts in your heart?"
Thorne was a little annoyed. He was really upset with Hermione, orThe vested interest that Hermione belongs to is speechless for trying to show his so-called sympathy.
"I think you are right." Hermione was slumped on the table after being refuted by Thorne.
"So everything I do now is meaningless, right?" She said emo.
"It is meaningless. This is not a question of whether it can be done successfully. This is a question of you doing something wrong without knowing it." Thorne said with all his strength without holding back.
"Well............" Hermione sighed, waved her hand casually and put the history book on the table back on the bookshelf. After thinking for a while, she asked again: "The warriors will be selected tomorrow. Are you nervous?"
"Well? Why am I nervous?" Thorne asked in confusion.
"What if the Goblet of Fire is selected by morality instead of strength?" Hermione said.
"........................I understand very well that you are embarrassed because you don't know what to say after being refuted by me. If you don't know what to say next time, you can just leave directly. You don't have to do this kind of shitty work, really." Thorne sighed.
"............Iron tree! Iron tree! It's a miracle that you can bloom!" Hermione's face suddenly stiffened, and she stood up and left the library muttering softly.
"Ah..." Thorne sighed.
"You are still too young."
...................................................
Back in the dormitory, Thorne happily read the encyclopedia of magical creatures borrowed from the library, mainly looking at dragons.
After all, the first level of the Triwizard Tournament is to snatch the dragon eggs from the dragon's belly. When the time comes, you can use some tricks to get something useful from the dragon.
Hehehehehehehe!!!
As for whether there are any dragon lovers and Hagrid and the like?
It has nothing to do with me.
