Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 105 6 Warriors

The Halloween dinner was very sumptuous, no worse than the welcoming dinner, but the students' minds were obviously not on the dinner, or perhaps, the Goblet of Fire, which was about to announce the list of warriors, concerned the students more than the dinner.

After dessert was served and the plates were cleared, Professor Dumbledore stood up and walked to the open space between the guest of honor seats and the four long tables of the colleges, where the annual sorting ceremony would be held.

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand, and a four-legged stool slowly came over, with the Goblet of Fire on it.

The stool stopped in front of Professor Dumbledore, and the blue-white flame burning on the Goblet of Fire illuminated Professor Dumbledore's face.

"The moment has finally arrived," said Professor Dumbledore. "In a moment, the Goblet of Fire will announce the names of the three champions."

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand, and the candlelight in the hall dimmed a little, making the Goblet of Fire in front of him appear brighter.

Suddenly, the blue-white flame on the goblet of fire turned into a bright red color, and a small piece of parchment with burnt edges was "sprayed" out by the bright red flame.

The parchment fluttered in the air, and as if it knew that Professor Dumbledore was the host, the parchment stopped in front of Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore held the parchment between his slender fingers, his azure eyes flickering. Everyone in the hall held their breath, and Professor Dumbledore's clear voice spread throughout the hall:

"Drmstrang Champion: Viktor Krum~" Professor Dumbledore's voice echoed in the hall.

Cheers broke out from Durmstrang. Those who were not selected did not feel any regret at all and congratulated Viktor one after another.

Professor Dumbledore pointed to a small door behind the guest of honor seat. "Viktor, please go to the next room and wait," Professor Dumbledore said. "Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch will give guidance to the warriors later." Professor Dumbledore also patted Viktor's shoulder as he passed by to show encouragement.

Under the expectant gaze of the students, the blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red again, and the second piece of parchment was "sprayed" out by the flame.

Professor Dumbledore took the parchment and read aloud: "Beauxbatons Champion: Fleur Delacour~"

Ron's eyes lit up, and the Veela girl came out, her long, soft silver hair trembling as she walked.

Apart from the applause and cheers given to Fleur by the Hogwarts students, it was very quiet at Beauxbatons. Several girls who were not selected as warriors even started crying, and several boys also had ugly expressions.

Fleur walked up to Professor Dumbledore, shook his hand, nodded, and went to the next room.

The moment that Hogwarts students had been waiting for arrived. The blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red for the third time, and the parchment was caught by Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore's clear voice echoed in the hall: "Hogwarts Warrior: Cedric Diggory~"

There was no movement from the Slytherins; the Gryffindors clapped perfunctorily; the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs cheered.

The Hufflepuff students in particular were yelling and jumping up and down, and if some sensible students hadn't held them back, some of them would have even jumped onto their dining tables.

Cedric walked towards Professor Dumbledore, who patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of pride and pride. "Go, kid, calm down your excitement!" Professor Dumbledore said to Cedric.

After Cedric entered the next room, Professor Dumbledore signaled everyone to be quiet. "The names of the three warriors have all been announced," Professor Dumbledore said, "Students who have not been selected, please do not be discouraged. This does not mean that you are not good enough. On the contrary, you are equally good. I believe that you will wholeheartedly support the bravery of your school..."

Professor Dumbledore could not continue speaking because the blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red for the fourth time. A piece of parchment was spewed out by the Goblet of Fire, and Professor Dumbledore subconsciously caught it.

Professor Dumbledore looked at the name on the parchment again and again, as if he thought that his eyes were too old to see the name on the parchment clearly.

After a long while, Professor Dumbledore read aloud: "Harry Potter~"

There was an uproar in the hall, but something even more surprising happened. The blue and white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red for the fifth time, and another piece of parchment was spewed out by the flames.

The parchment went straight into Professor Dumbledore's hands. Professor Dumbledore looked at it numbly and read out the name on it: "Aeris Grindelwald~"

Everyone's eyes turned to Aeris and Harry who were sitting side by side. Aeris and Harry also looked at each other, with the same puzzled expression on their faces.

Just as the hall was eerily quiet, the blue-white flame of the Goblet of Fire turned red for the sixth time, and Madame Maxime and Headmaster Karkaroff both had gloomy faces.

The sixth piece of parchment was pinched between Professor Dumbledore's fingers. Professor Dumbledore seemed to have given up resistance and read out the name on the parchment: "Draco Malfoy~"

With a loud bang, the Slytherin side went into an uproar. The Slytherin students cheered, stamped their feet, pounded the tables, and everyone shouted: "Malfoy... Malfoy... Malfoy..."
