When the three of them returned to the auditorium, Fred and George became much more cautious, and after realizing that Fleur had Veela blood, that special attraction didn't seem as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.
However, the two did not dare to stay beside Furong for too long. After a brief chat, they found an excuse to go to Li Qiaodan.
"Has anyone put their name in?" Fred asked.
"Not yet...wait, Krum is here." Lee Jordan said, and he suddenly pointed in the direction of the gate.
The students of Durmstrang were just walking in across the grounds, their headmaster in the front, with Krum beside him.
The students gathered around the Goblet of Fire stepped back to let them pass, watching eagerly.
A dozen Durmstrang students lined up, crossed the age line one by one, and threw the parchment with their names on it into the Goblet of Fire. Every time this happened, the blue and white flame would quickly turn red and sparks would burst out.
"You said..." At this time, George walked to Kyle's side and lowered his voice and said, "What if the Goblet of Fire thinks this person is too bad and crumpled up his name and threw it out?"
Kyle thought about that scene and couldn't help laughing: "Then the whole school will probably be happy for a whole year."
They subconsciously looked towards the Goblet of Fire.
But until the last person threw in the parchment, the expected scene did not appear.
Fred seemed disappointed.
"Maybe it's because they are old enough." George said after thinking for a while.
Afterwards, the two of them ran aside and whispered to each other, and it was unknown what they were discussing.
"Ignore them," Connor said to Fleur. "Did you bring the parchment?"
"I brought it." Furong retracted her gaze and nodded, "But I need to wait for Ms. Maxime... Oh, she's here."
As they were talking, people from Beauxbatons also walked into the auditorium.
Fleur hurried over, and under Maxim's arrangement, she and others put the parchment slip with the name on it into the Goblet of Fire.
Furong originally wanted to stay here, but Maxim seemed to have something to say, so she had to leave with him.
Now, only Hogwarts students were left in the hall.
"Am I late?" Cedric's voice came from behind.
"As long as it's before dusk, it's not too late." Kyle turned around and said, "Have you written your name?"
"In fact, it was written last night." Cedric took out a neatly cut piece of parchment with the words "Cedric Diggory - Hogwarts" written on it.
The note template had been posted on the door of the common room a long time ago, so just write according to it.
"What about you guys, are you ready?" Cedric asked, "We can throw it in together."
"Bang!"
Just then, there was a loud explosion next to the Goblet of Fire.
A figure seemed to be playing the game of Quaffle, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and then falling heavily to the ground ten feet away.
“Ouch!”
Ron rolled on the ground, holding his arm. There was another popping sound, and a shaggy white beard grew on his chin.
Everyone around burst into laughter, and even Harry, who had just run over to help Ron up, couldn't help laughing out loud.
"I told you a long time ago..." Hermione looked at Ron, who was covering his face and refusing to get up, and said, "Professor Dumbledore would definitely think of something like an ageing potion, but you just didn't believe it."
Harry had a look of relief on his face and calmly put the bottle in his hand into his pocket.
Fortunately, he hesitated for a moment, otherwise he would probably be lying on the ground now.
"It seems that age has nothing to do with it." Fred and George came to them at some point. There was no doubt that what happened just now was related to them.
George said. "I knew he would try to throw his name in, but I didn't expect him to be so anxious. ..."
"Although I didn't see the scene where Ron's name was thrown out of the Goblet of Fire..."
"But Ron with a beard is also good..."
The two of them laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
When Qiu Ye walked into the auditorium, Cedric said impatiently, "Let's go too!"
"I've been thinking that for a long time." Fred said with a smile, and then he was the first to walk over.
Seeing them, the people around them immediately made way for them, just like they had done when they saw Beauxbatons and Durmstrang before.
Fred was the first to cross the age line, followed by George, then Cedric, Cho, Connor...
Kyle was the last one. When he also crossed the age line and put the parchment in his hand into the Goblet of Fire, excited cheers were heard all around.
The Hufflepuff students cheered particularly vigorously, cheering loudly for Kyle and Cedric.
"Why didn't anyone call our names!" George said unhappily, "Are all the Gryffindors sleeping in?"
All the Gryffindors in the hall turned their heads silently, pretending not to hear anything.
The top candidate they had in mind was Angelina Johnson, and she wasn't there yet.
Only Lee Jordan shouted twice out of respect, but that was all. When Angelina walked into the auditorium, his cheers were obviously much louder than before.
This made Fred and George very angry, and they chased after him to beat him up.
At this time, Ron, who was pretending to be an ostrich on the ground, was also pulled up. Harry prepared to take him to the school hospital to see if there was any way to remove his beard.
Hermione, who was walking at the back, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked towards the Goblet of Fire.
Harry also noticed her actions and quickly reminded her: "Wait Hermione, you don't want to grow a beard too, do you? This is not a joke..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth opened wide in surprise.
Because Hermione crossed the age line and successfully put her name into the Goblet of Fire.
"You found a way to cheat me out of my age, but you didn't tell us!" Ron said angrily, "You don't think it's fun to see me make a fool of myself."
"I don't think breaking the rules is fun at all!" Hermione said sternly. "I just turned fifteen last month."
"What?" Ron was stunned. He remembered that Hermione's birthday was September 19th, but his birthday was in March. Even he couldn't do that, so why could Hermione...
"In fact, I'm one year older than all of you." Hermione continued, "If I had been born twenty days earlier, I would be in fifth grade now.
this……
Harry and Ron looked at each other in bewilderment; they had always thought that Hermione was younger than they were.
Ron's eyes flashed with envy, "That's great, I can participate in the Triwizard Tournament..."
"Don't be silly, I don't think I can be selected." Hermione said, "I just don't want to miss this grand event. Voting is also a participation, isn't it?
"Go now, I hope Madam Pomfrey can help you remove these beards before the Halloween dinner... unless you want to wear them to the party."
It wasn't just Hermione, most people had basically the same idea as her.
On Saturday, almost all Hogwarts students in their fifth year and above, including a small number of fourth year students, voted their names into the Goblet of Fire.
