Witcher at Hogwarts

"Dumbledore!" the man called enthusiastically as he walked up the ramp. "How are you, my dear old fellow?"

"Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore replied with the same smile.

Karkaroff's voice was mellow and sweet, and his face was full of smiles, but there was no smile in his eyes, which were still cold and sharp.

His eyes glanced around, and he soon saw Ethan.

Ethan noticed Karkaroff's subtle emotions. The moment he saw Ethan, it was as if his eyes were burned by red-hot charcoal.

Quickly retracting his gaze, Ethan quickly realized that Karkaroff might have known him through some aspect.

Then Dumbledore began to introduce the professors of Hogwarts to Karkaroff.

Soon, Dumbledore introduced Ethan.

"Hello, Professor Ethan." Karkaroff stretched out his hand unnaturally and shook hands with Ethan.

Ethan noticed that Karkaroff's fingers were very cold.

"Hello, welcome to Hogwarts." Ethan said politely to Karkaroff.

"Thank you, Professor Ethan." Karkaroff seemed to not want to talk too much to Ethan.

After briefly greeting Ethan, he quickly moved away from Ethan.

Then Karkaroff couldn't wait to lead his students and his group into Hogwarts quickly.

"Oh my God! Viktor Krum!" Suddenly someone among the Hogwarts students screamed.

Then the student group quickly became noisy, and everyone stuck their heads out noisily.

Looking at a boy with a striking aquiline nose and two thick, black eyebrows.

It seemed that the boy was some kind of star, and the name Viktor Krum sounded familiar to Ethan.

Ethan soon realized that Viktor Krum was the star player who participated in the Quidditch World Cup a few days ago.

But Ethan had no interest in Quidditch stars at all.

After students from both schools entered Hogwarts, Ethan also entered the school.

At this time, the Hogwarts auditorium was extremely busy.

Students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were currently sitting on long tables in the four houses, discussing something heatedly with the students from Hogwarts.

There were also several more chairs on the professor's bench. At this time, Slughorn was talking with Karkaroff and Madam Maxim with a bright face.

Ethan even saw a few officials from the Ministry of Magic, Ludo Bagman and a very strong-looking man with short, straight gray-white hair who looked very serious.

Ethan quickly recognized that this man was Delis.

Delis was originally an Auror and a close confidant of Fudge. After the fall of Barty Crouch, Delis was arranged by Fudge to serve as the acting director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

The rules and regulations for the Goblet of Fire competition are organized by the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

So Delis also came to Hogwarts today.

Ethan smiled and walked towards the two of them.

Ludo Bagman and Delis were talking about something.

Seeing Ethan coming over, both of their faces turned pale.

This made Ethan feel a little strange. It was understandable that Ludo Bagman was afraid of him.

After all, Ludo Bagman still owes Ethan a huge sum of money.

But why Delis was afraid of him, Ethan didn't understand that well.

In fact, Ethan has had this doubt for a long time.

Ever since his nickname of The Butcher of Knockturn Alley was spread, and he had carried out a series of arrests at the Ministry of Magic.

More and more people began to be afraid of Ethan.

Although Tonks has been telling everyone that Ethan is actually a gentle, friendly, kind and sincere person.

But this had no effect.

Until now, Ethan still doesn't understand why everyone is afraid of him.

"Hello, Professor Ethan." Ludo Bagman greeted Ethan in a dry tone.

His eyes were darting from side to side, as if looking for an escape route for himself.

"Hello, Ethan." Delis also pretended to be calm and greeted Ethan.

Ethan responded politely to both of them one by one.

And chatted with the two for a few words, and saw that Ethan did not ask him to collect debts.

Ludo Bagman's face finally looked better, and Delis's expression also relaxed a lot.

The three of them didn't talk for long before the welcome dinner was about to begin.

Dumbledore stood up. A mood of excitement and nervousness seemed to pervade the auditorium.

Everyone was staring at Dumbledore, waiting for his words.

"The moment has come at last," said Dumbledore, smiling into the downcast face.

"The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words first, and then bring the boxes in one by one."

Then Dumbledore introduced Delix and Ludo Bagman to everyone.

Following Dumbledore's introduction, both stood up and greeted everyone.

At this time, Ludo Bagman had a strange look on his face, which was somewhere between nostalgia and regret.

Ethan thought about it and quickly understood why Ludo Bagman was like this.

Ludo Bagman was once a very popular batsman, but due to physical and age reasons, Ludo Bagman eventually retired.

This scene of everyone cheering and applauding him probably reminded Ludo Bagman of his golden years again.

"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Dellux have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament," Dumbledore continued.

"They will join me, Professor Karkaroff, and Madam Maxim to form a judging panel to judge the efforts of the warriors!"

Upon hearing the word "warrior", many students' eyes shone with light. Everyone looked at Dumbledore excitedly, waiting for his next words.

Dumbledore seemed to notice their sudden silence. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

No one noticed that Filch had been lurking in a corner of the auditorium just now. Now he was walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in his hand. The box looked very old.

"Mr. Deluxe and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for this year's warrior competition." The wooden box was placed on the table in front of Dumbledore.

This old wooden box attracted the attention of everyone present.

"They also made a lot of necessary arrangements for each project. There are three projects in total, which are carried out at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors in many different aspects - test their talents in magic - their Courage and their ability to reason—and, of course, their ability to overcome danger."

"As you already know, there will be three warriors competing," Dumbledore continued calmly.

"Each represents a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of each competition event they complete. After the three events, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is a fair selector. It’s the Goblet of Fire.”
