章節 212: Harry's Mood Turned From Joy To Sorrow!
In the great hall, the flame in the Goblet of Fire kept burning under the gaze of everyone.
But this time the shape of the flame has changed.
It looked like it was breathing, constantly expanding and contracting, it seemed to be about to spit out something.
Everyone stared at the Goblet of Fire intently, including the professors on the teacher's table.
"Lucas, who do you think will be selected from the three schools?"
"Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory."
Hearing him say three names without hesitation, Hermione, Cho and Ginny looked at the three people he just named.
Lucas has proven his ability to divinate things countless times, so they believed his words unconditionally.
As for the Slytherins, they didn't understand why he was so sure about it.
"Why?" Draco asked.
'Of course it's because I've read the Harry Potter books!'
Lucas thought in his heart, and then pretended to analyze it.
"What do you guys know about the Goblet of Fire? Although it looks like a simple wooden cup with some enchanted fire, it's actually a powerful ancient artifact."
"Although it can't speak like the Sorting Hat, it can analyze the character, ability, etc. of the applicants through magic."
"Otherwise, why do you have to write your name personally when you sign up? It's because your writing shows a lot about a person, not to mention the slight magical signature it's left behind in the parchment, the goblet uses all those things to choose the best."
"It can tell everyone that the selected champions are those with the most outstanding talents in courage, knowledge, and adaptability among the three schools."
If they believe it or not, he didn't care, anyway, Lucas believed his own nonsense.
Because he didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, the young wizards around suddenly showed enlightened expressions.
Those who originally signed up just to join in the fun. At this moment, they suddenly had a strong interest in the Triwizard Tournament.
The most outstanding person in their respective schools, who wouldn't want to get such an honor?
Those who did not sign up or who were not old enough stamped their feet and beat their chests in regret.
By word of mouth, everything that Lucas said just now reached the ears of the three parties involved.
Cedric smiled faintly, already looking humble.
But if you observe carefully, you can see the flash of pride in the eyes of the sparkling Hufflepuff.
Lucas' influence is obvious to all. Those who can be recognized and praised by him are indeed worthy of being prideful.
As for Krum, who was sitting in the corner, his eyes were full of disdain. He doesn't need someone younger than himself to judge his worthiness.
As for Fleur, she also had a look of pride, only her pride was different from Cedric's. She is just happy about being praised by the person she likes.
Back to Lucas. After he finished speaking, he looked at the Goblet of Fire quietly.
It's not his turn to play yet, the protagonists in the first half are the three older champions.
If he talks too much, it's not good to steal the limelight.
A pity that some people won't let him stay idle.
"Lucas, look at me!"
Lucas looked back over his shoulder and a pair of empty eyes appeared in front of him.
"you..."
Looking at the surprise in Lucas' eyes, the corners of Draco's lips curled up triumphantly.
"I said that it would only take me one summer vacation to learn Occlumency, so can you tell me now?"
Lucas nodded, he really didn't expect him to learn Occlumency in such a short period of time.
"It's inconvenient now, talk to me in my room after the show is over."
Draco nodded and turned to look at the Goblet of Fire again.
Lucas frowned slightly, and as soon as he turned back, he saw the girls staring at him.
"Don't look at me like that, if you can learn Occlumency, I will tell you the same."
The three looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly became firm. It seemed they were also interested in Lucas' secrets.
"Look, the Goblet of Fire has reacted!"
There was a sudden exclamation in the room and those who were chatting shut their mouths immediately.
Everyone watched the ever-expanding blue and white flame seriously.
Suddenly, the flames turned red and the violent flames spewed high into the sky, almost igniting the ceiling.
Accompanied by splashing sparks, a charred parchment was released into the air.
The eyes of everyone followed it slowly, until an old hand grasped it.
Dumbledore approached the Goblet of Fire and read the name on it by the light of the fire.
"The champion of Durmstrang is Viktor Krum!"
There was thunderous applause.
Although some Durmstrang students still felt it was a regret they weren't chosen, this does not prevent them from sending blessings to Krum.
Krum grinned and got up from his seat, then he gave Lucas a smug look as he passed by.
This made the Slytherins around him very upset, and even Lucas' eyes became a lot colder.
The first provocation can still be easily ignored, but Lucas couldn't ignore the repeated provocations.
It appears the Quidditch star needs to be taught a lesson of a lifetime.
He just doesn't know what his expression will be when he sees that Lucas has also become a champion.
Krum took the parchment from Dumbledore and walked along the teacher's table to the next room.
Karkaroff stood up and shouted when his star student was about to cross the door.
"Krum, I knew you could do it, you're the best!"
His voice was very loud and even overshadowed the applause in the great hall.
At this time the Goblet of Fire began to expand for the second time and everyone hurriedly looked over, waiting for the birth of the second champion.
In the Gryffindor long table, Angelina looked nervously at the Goblet of Fire.
She was starting to regret throwing her name in now.
"What if I'm chosen?"
"Hey Angelina, it's a good thing to be selected, think about the prize of 1,000 Galleons."
"Yes, as a Gryffindor, how can you be afraid!"
The twins spoke in unison, revealing their envy for Angelina in their tone.
Harry also poked his head out at this time, and as a teammate, he also came to comfort her.
"It's okay, Angelina, didn't you hear what Lucas said about Cedric being Hogwarts' champion."
Angelina let out a long breath, her nervousness relaxed a lot.
Hearing Cedric's name, Ron frowned: "Let's hope he's not our champion, if that idiot is chosen, wouldn't we be laughed at by the other two schools?"
"That Idiot Buttercup?" Seamus also teased.
Hearing him, laughter erupted from the Gryffindor table.
It could be seen that the lions did not have a good impression of Cedric. This is mostly because of Harry, it started when Cedric fell from his broom during their quidditch match and since Harry didn't rush to help him, the Hufflepuffs would keep provoking the Gryffindors any chance they got.
Harry reminded them with a smile: "Guys, we can't do this, the chosen champion will represent Hogwarts after all."
"Oh, I'm just worried about him. Dumbledore said that people could die at any time in the Triwizard Tournament. I'm worried that the idiot won't win the honor, but lose his life instead!"
Ron showed deep worry, but a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and his words were obviously still teasing Cedric.
Everyone laughed again after hearing it, even Harry, who although tried not to show it much, still felt a lot of resentment towards Cedric.
Angelina gradually relaxed amidst everyone's jokes.
At this moment, the Goblet of Fire sent out another name again.
Looking at the flower-shaped parchment, most people immediately looked at Beauxbatons.
"The champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour!"
When her name was announced, it wasn't Beauxbatons students who were the most excited.
On the contrary, it was Ron, who was out of reach.
"Harry, it's her, it's her, she's really the best!"
There was warm applause for Fleur, but a lot of girls in Beauxbatons were crying about not being chosen instead of supporting her.
Fleur took the parchment from Dumbledore and glanced back at the Slytherin table.
"Fleur, go in quickly!"
Hearing Madame Maxime urging her, Fleur bit her lower lip lightly and walked towards the next room.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared through the door that someone in the great hall realized: "That's right, Lucas Grindelwald was right about two of the champions, then our Hogwarts champion is..."
All the eyes turned to Hufflepuff.
Cedric suddenly felt a little nervous, but when he heard laughter coming from the Gryffindor table again.
Even Cedric, who is usually really patient and gentle, was a little annoyed.
The Goblet of Fire spewed a parchment for the third time and Dumbledore caught it lightly with his hand.
After seeing the name in it, he actually glanced at Lucas first.
"The champion of Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory!"
There was applause like a landslide and a tsunami, the cheers almost lifted the ceiling.
Cedric walked towards Dumbledore surrounded by the crowd and was congratulated by others wherever he passed.
During this period, Harry and his companions were booing loudly instead of cheering.
Lucas smiled coldly when he saw it.
The naive Harry probably doesn't know what extreme joy usually begets sorrow.
Dumbledore waved at the crowd for silence.
"Now that the champions of the three schools have been selected, for those who were not selected, don't be discouraged. I hope that you will help and support your champions wholeheartedly and with all your heart…"
Dumbledore stopped mid-sentence, making everyone follow his gaze and look at the Goblet of Fire.
They all noticed that the flame in the cup was expanding again.
This shocked everyone, and even the people in the teacher's seat stood up.
boom~!
Flames spewed out even stronger than before, and another piece of parchment appeared in midair.
Albus Dumbledore caught the note with a puzzled expression on his face, but when he read the name inside the parchment, his eyes suddenly widened. Quite the wonderful performance by the headmaster of Hogwarts.
"Harry Potter!"
"Harry Potter, come out!"
Look at Harry again.
At this moment, his face was pale, and he looked around blankly, still not processing what just happened.
"Me? But I didn't put my name in!"
He still wanted to defend himself, but the people around him obviously didn't want to believe what he said!.
