Chapter 330: Rice: I Have Already Selected the Warriors for the Triwizard Tournament
"I think the next Minister of Magic will definitely be a smart and capable person." Mr. Henry said confidently.
Daphne, who was sitting next to her, yawned: she had no interest in boring topics like who the Minister of Magic was.
"Dad?! Why are you here?" At this moment, Astoria came to the hall and saw her father sitting next to her sister.
She widened her eyes and couldn't believe her eyes: What kind of trouble did her sister get into that made her father come to school?
"I came to school to deal with some things today, and I just happened to catch up with dinner time so I came here to have a meal." Mr. Henry explained his purpose to Astoria.
"That's great, Dad, you are the best!" Knowing that there would be no more Dementors around the school, Astoria became happy: "I hated them when they forcibly searched the Hogwarts Express before."
Henry was very happy to be praised by his daughter in public.
"The search of the train was a preview of what happened yesterday." After thinking carefully, Les felt that he could get a glimpse of the clues from the Dementors stopping the train.
The Ministry of Magic did not send anyone to act with the Dementors, which exposed their laziness completely. The Dementors' thunder did not break out early, thanks to his and Helga's timely action.
"At that time, the Dementors at least had the Ministry of Magic's search order. Yesterday, they were completely out of control." Henry sighed.
"I thought the lesson I gave them that day would calm them down. Unfortunately, their emotions seem to be different from humans."
"What lesson?" Mr. Henry raised his head, looking confused: Listen to the old ancestor, is there something he doesn't know?
Les blinked: Henry didn't know that the Dementors who searched the train that day were eliminated by him and Helga?
After he told Henry about this, Henry was stunned.
There is such a thing? ! It turned out that the two sides had already had a conflict.
"It seems that the Dementors did not report this matter to the Ministry of Magic. This shows that the Ministry of Magic actually has no ability to restrain the Dementors, and sending the Dementors was wrong from the beginning." Les said in a flat tone.
In his opinion, it is not worth getting angry about a matter that has been settled.
"That White is interesting." After the topic of Dementors and the Minister of Magic ended, Henry began to talk to Les about Smith White.
"She is indeed extraordinary." Les glanced at Henry, hoping that he would not say this in front of Helga. That woman is very narrow-minded.
"The Ministry has the idea of buying her dolls to serve as guards in Azkaban. Many wizards are also interested in her products and want to buy one to put at home."
"Then she will make a fortune - you can buy a few dolls from her and put them at home, you will definitely not suffer a loss."
Henry nodded. Since the ancestor has spoken, he will definitely buy a few dolls back.
Les wanted to tell Henry that it would be enough to buy a low-end version that needs to be charged. But after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need.
As for the true identity of Smith White, Les did not reveal it to Henry. Such an important thing, he would not tell it without Helga's nod.
"The Ministry of Magic is going to be turbulent. I wonder if the next few major events will be affected." Henry had another thing to report to Les. This was a confidential matter of the Ministry of Magic. Only a small number of people knew about it at present - and he happened to be among this small group. "What big thing?" Les's interest was aroused. "The first thing is the Quidditch World Cup Finals in the summer vacation. According to regulations, the organizer of this final is the British Ministry of Magic. The Ministry has already written the plan and will start to build the competition venue after the Chinese New Year. The scale of this time is unprecedented." Daphne and Astoria on the side pricked up their ears after hearing the "big thing" and wanted to hear the gossip brought by their father. Seeing that it was news about Quidditch, Les lost interest immediately. For him, Quidditch games are not as interesting as a box of cream ice cream. "Les, do you want to go to the Quidditch game with us during the summer vacation? Dad will definitely get the best tickets." Daphne put the roasted chicken legs aside and asked Les if he was interested in watching the game with her family. Mr. Henry did not change his expression, but he gave his eldest daughter a thumbs up in his heart. Great, that's what we should do! He had been thinking about it for a long time, but he was just embarrassed. It was just right for his daughter to say it.
"It will be very lively. Wizards from all over the world will come."
After hearing this, Les, who was not very interested in Quidditch, changed his mind. He wanted to get in touch with wizards from other countries.
Seeing that his ancestor was willing to watch Quidditch with his family, Henry was overjoyed and immediately promised that he would get the best tickets.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, Dad, what are the other secrets? It is well known that the Ministry of Magic will host the next Quidditch World Cup."
"Promise me first that you will not tell anyone about this news." Henry looked at his two daughters with distrust in his eyes.
Daphne and Astoria's curiosity had been aroused, and they quickly swore that they would not leak the secret. Les used magic to block the voices of several people. Their voices would be covered by a faint buzzing sound, and passers-by could not hear what they were talking about at all.
"The Triwizard Tournament, which has been suspended for hundreds of years, will be held again." Mr. Henry lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
However, the reactions of the three people made Henry feel like he was punching cotton - their reactions were surprisingly consistent: no reaction at all.
When the Triwizard Tournament was born, Rice had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Daphne and Astoria had no way to learn about this competition that had been suspended for hundreds of years. So the three had never heard of this ancient competition!
Henry couldn't help but sigh and introduced the Triwizard Tournament to the three people.
Rice's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened: Send "Warriors" to compete with the other two European magic schools? This sounds very interesting! Daphne and Astoria's level is already quite good, it's time to go outside the school to try their luck.
Rice made a decision, and the Hogwarts Warrior was selected from Daphne and Astoria!
As for Helga and Rowena's heirs... Rice felt that they had been taught for a short time, one had only been in the early years, and the other had not even been selected. How could they compare with Daphne and the others? This important task of bringing glory to the school should be handed over to one's own students.
Like Les, Daphne and Astoria also became extremely excited and eager to try after learning about this.
"But there are rumors that warriors must be at least seventeen years old."
Mr. Henry's next sentence made the three of them frown.
