Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

At the same time, he subtly released his aura, waking up the young wizards who were still in shock around him, and gestured to them to quickly join in the applause.

His little witch was chosen as a champion of Hogwarts, and that deserves applause.

The fleeting sense of oppression and gloom in the air sent a shiver down the spines of the students in the hall.

Once they came to their senses, they all joined Zicomo in applauding.

The applause was even more enthusiastic than that for the first two warriors.

While the students from the three schools were surprised that Hermione had become a champion at Hogwarts, they did not question whether she had cheated.

After all, Hermione threw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire right in front of them.

Furthermore, given Zicomo's imposing manner, they dared not question anything.

Cedric looked somewhat disappointed after learning that he had not been selected.

Hermione hugged Zicomo excitedly, and then proceeded with the usual routine.

We shook hands and went through the side door.

Dumbledore had no idea what Zicomo was up to, but the next part had to go on.

"Excellent! Our three warriors have been chosen. But in the end, only one will be remembered in history, only one will be able to lift this championship trophy, this symbol of the championship, the Triumph Cup!"

Having said that, Dumbledore turned and pointed behind him, using magic to lift the curtain on the platform.

The Three Strong Cup, radiating a crystal-clear blue light, was revealed beneath the curtain.

However, before the students from the three schools could take a closer look, their attention was drawn back to the Goblet of Fire in the center of the hall.

This time, the Goblet of Fire surged even more violently, hurling a piece of parchment high into the air.

The parchment slipped from his hand and was caught by Dumbledore.

If Dumbledore was merely surprised to see Hermione's name on the parchment before, then...

When Dumbledore saw Harry's name on the parchment, his expression was one of utter shock.

"Harry"

As Dumbledore called out to Harry, he continued to search for Harry's figure in the crowd.

Harry was sitting not far from Zicomo at that moment.

To be honest, Harry was completely stunned when he heard his own name.

He didn't put his name into the Goblet of Fire.

Zicomo reminded Harry, "Although I don't know what's going on, you'd better go over there now and let Dumbledore finish the process."

Reminded by Zicomo, Harry quickly walked towards Dumbledore.

This time, there was no applause in the entire hall; everyone watched Harry in silence.

Ron's gaze toward Harry was filled with three parts dissatisfaction, three parts resentment, and four parts jealousy.

His dissatisfaction and resentment stemmed from his belief that Harry had secretly enrolled without telling him.

Jealousy stemmed from Harry becoming a warrior.

Little did Harry know that he was completely bewildered as well.

He took the fragment of parchment from Dumbledore and looked at him somewhat bewildered.

Dumbledore gestured for him to wait in the room by the side door as well.

"The selection process for the Triwizard Tournament has now concluded. Curfew is approaching, so please return to your dormitories to rest. Oh, and Zikomo, you'll stay behind for a moment."

Dumbledore dismissed the students in the hall.

Zicomo stayed because he still had some questions to ask him.

However, before Dumbledore could ask any questions, Mrs. Maxime preemptively challenged old Crouch: "I protest the results of this selection!"

"It's unfair that Hogwarts has two champions, especially since neither of them is 17 years old. I suspect there's some conspiracy involved, and I demand a new selection of champions."

“You old French woman, everything is a conspiracy to you,” Moody mocked.

Moody's won't let Mrs. Maxim have her way.

He managed to trick the magic on the Goblet of Fire with a Confusion Charm and add Harry's name to it.

If the Warriors are re-selected, wouldn't all his efforts have been wasted?

Chapter 203 As everyone knows, the Triwizard Tournament has four participants.

It looked like Moody and Mrs. Maxim were about to start arguing.

Dumbledore quickly interrupted, "We'll have to ask them for details before we can tell you the specifics."

"Let's go."

Dumbledore beckoned everyone present to walk toward the room by the side door.

Inside the room by the side door, Hermione was chatting with Fleur.

Although they became champions in their respective schools, they did not become hostile to each other because of their competition.

The two were chatting happily when they turned around and saw Harry walk in.

"Harry? How did you get in here?" Hermione asked curiously.

“I think I’ve become the fourth champion,” Harry replied.

Harry's tone was full of confusion; he still didn't understand why his name was in the Goblet of Fire.

Hermione, upon hearing this, was about to say something.

Dumbledore entered with a group of professors, the two headmasters of the two schools, old Crouch, and Chicomo.

Dumbledore hurried up to Harry and asked, "Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?"

“No, Professor,” Harry replied.

"Did you ask someone else to vote for you?"

As Dumbledore spoke, he turned to look at Zicomo.

"What are you looking at me for? Why would I put Harry's name in there for no reason? What good would it do me?"

Zicomo shrugged, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with him.

Dumbledore almost forgot that the man in front of him was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason.

He didn't think Harry had enough incentive to persuade Zicomo.

Before Dumbledore could say anything more, Mrs. Maxime preemptively questioned Zicomo, "Then how do you explain this little witch?"

"What? How do you explain that? Dumbledore said before that even if someone is underage, as long as they can overcome the age limit, they are considered eligible to participate."

Zicomo replied, "Besides, Hermione put her name in there in front of all the students. Do you really doubt that she could cheat in front of so many people?"

Mrs. Maxim was rendered speechless by Zicomo's retort, but she still did not want to give up so easily.

She turned to Harry and said, "That's because he lied. He must have used some underhanded methods."

"Harry didn't lie."

Moody stepped forward to retort, "The Goblet of Fire possesses immense magical power; only a very powerful Confusion Charm could fool it. I don't believe Harry has that ability."

He originally meant to say that a fourth-grade student couldn't possibly have that kind of magic.

But then it suddenly occurred to him that there seemed to be two people right in front of him who could do it.

"You seem to know a lot about this, Mad-Eye?"

Karkaroff looked at 'Moody' with suspicion.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

When Karkaroff was still a Death Eater, he was hunted by Mad-Eye Moody for six months before being captured and sent to Azkaban.

Therefore, Karkaroff knew "Mad-Eye" Moody quite well.

But today, Moody's performance seems a bit off.

Of course, he didn't doubt that this 'Moody' was fake; Karkaroff just felt that 'Moody' might be hiding something.

"My job used to require me to think like a dark wizard, Karkaroff, you haven't forgotten that, have you?"

Moody's words were full of implications, and his eyes were fixed on Karkaroff.

It has to be said that Batistuta Jr.'s performance was...

He was impersonating Alastor? (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

This made Karkaroff dare not say anything more.

"That won't solve anything, Alastor."

Dumbledore walked over to old Crouch and said, "You decide, Barty."

Crouch was defeated by Barty Jr.

"The rules cannot be changed, and the choice of the Goblet of Fire must be followed without exception. Mr. Porter has no choice. From this night onward, he is the warrior of the Triwizard Tournament."
