Witcher at Hogwarts

"Hello, Professor Slughorn." Ethan smiled at the old man and stretched out his hand to shake Slughorn's hand.

"Hello, Professor Ethan! I have admired your name for a long time!" Slughorn was unexpectedly enthusiastic, holding Ethan's hand and shaking it twice.

Slughorn is a pleasure-seeking and vain person. He likes to associate with celebrities, successful people, and important people, and enjoys the feeling of influencing these people.

He himself never wanted to take charge of power, but preferred to occupy a secondary position - that way the world would be wider and he would be more comfortable.

Obviously, Ethan's current conditions are very consistent with Slughorn's principles of making friends.

Now Ethan has become a hot guy in the Ministry of Magic.

Many wizards have already spread rumors that Ethan can completely replace Rufus Scrimgeour as the Director of the Auror Office or even the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department at this time.

In a few years, when Ethan gets some qualifications, he might be able to run for Minister of Magic!

Therefore, Slughorn is quite enthusiastic about Ethan.

"I am very glad that you can join Hogwarts as the Potions teacher. Mr. Slughorn, I would like to read your "Advanced Potions Explained and Made". It is really a very good book! You are indeed a very knowledgeable person. The Potions Master!"

Ethan said to Ethan with a bright smile on his face.

Snape, who was sitting far away, tilted his head and heard the conversation between Ethan and Slughorn, and curled his lips in disgust.

But he was in such a good mood that he didn't care about what Ethan just said.

"Have you read my book? Thank you for your evaluation! You are really flattered!" Slughorn said to Ethan flattered.

"In fact, my weak knowledge is nothing at all. As for you, Mr. Ethan, you are the biggest contributor to protecting the safety of everyone in the Ministry of Magic!" Slughorn also praised Ethan.

It was actually a pleasure to talk to a sophisticated person like Slughorn, so Ethan and Slughorn stood on the professor's chair at Hogwarts and talked to each other. The academics of Chinese language started to talk to each other.

"Ahem!" Dumbledore finally broke the endless pleasant exchange between the two.

"Professor Ethan, Professor Slughorn, the opening ceremony is about to begin. I want everyone to return to their seats quickly." Dumbledore gave Ethan and Slughorn a suggestion in a soft tone. .

At this time, Ethan and Slughorn realized that it was inappropriate for them to continue talking here.

So he hurriedly returned to his seat on the professor's chair and sat down.

Thus began the annual opening ceremony of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore stood up behind the staff table, and the din that echoed through the Great Hall died down almost immediately.

"Good evening to everyone!" he said with a kind smile, spreading his arms as if to embrace the entire auditorium.

"Welcome everyone! Welcome everyone to enter Hogwarts again for your new school year of magical education," Dumbledore continued to say enthusiastically.

"Administrator Filch asked me to tell everyone not to perform magic in the corridors during recess, and any magic joke prank products are prohibited."

"As before, I want to remind everyone that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue, and in Hogsmeade, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."

Dumbledore would say these words once a year, so Ethan had no intention of listening anymore. He just carefully observed the pattern of the fork on his hand.

The senior students are all the same. They have heard the same words for several years. They are also staring at their plates in confusion at this time.

Just waiting for Dumbledore to clap his hands and fill the plate with delicious food.

But what Dumbledore said next surprised everyone.

"I would also like to inform you with great regret that the Academy Cup Quidditch Tournament will not be held this year."

The entire auditorium suddenly exploded after a brief silence.

Everyone was disappointed and asked why this happened. The Quidditch match was one of the most anticipated events for these children.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore said. Although Dumbledore didn't shout loudly, his clear voice still spread throughout the auditorium.

Dumbledore's prestige in Hogwarts was very high, and the auditorium quickly fell silent.

Seeing that the auditorium was quiet, Dumbledore continued.

“This is because a large event is starting in October and continuing throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers’ time and energy, but I’m sure you’ll all have a lot of fun doing it. I’m very excited to announce that, This year Hogwarts will be honored to host a very exciting event. This event has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy to tell you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. !”

Dumbledore said to everyone in a warm tone.

"Oh my God! This is impossible!" Fred's incredible shout came from the Gryffindor table.

And more people didn't know what this so-called Triwizard Tournament was, and they gathered together to discuss it excitedly.

"Some of you still don't know what this competition is all about, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for explaining it a little here, and I allow their minds to wander for a while."

Dumbledore said humorously.

"The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest wizarding schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmster Lang. Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is a great event between young wizards from different countries. A great way to build friendships - but then too many people died and the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued."

"There have been several attempts to revive the Tournament over the centuries," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them have been successful. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports believe that another attempt The time has come. We have done a lot this summer to ensure that every warrior's life is not in danger."

"What do you mean the time is ripe!" Ron muttered from the side.

"If what Harry saw is true, Voldemort has already tried to resurrect! At this time, what kind of competition should we prepare for?" Ron whispered under the table.

"Ron! Keep your voice down!" Hermione was listening intently to Dumbledore's explanation of the rules of the game. She heard Ron muttering on the side and poked Ron dissatisfied.

"In October, the principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will lead their carefully selected contenders. The ceremony to select the warriors will be held on Halloween, and an impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete. Triwizard Cup, win honor for your school, and personally receive a thousand galleons bonus." Dumbledore announced.
