Magical Studies at Hogwarts.

Chapter 156 Fairness
Maybe it was because of his height. When Ike walked into the room, Krum and Fleur didn't see any difference, they just nodded their heads as greetings.

But when Harry came in, it was different.

"What's the matter, do you want us to go back to the auditorium?" Fu Rong asked puzzled.

Harry didn't know what to say, and looked at Ike for help, but Ike just shrugged and didn't answer.

To be honest, he is also at a loss now, the only thing that is certain is that he did not throw the parchment himself.

Then who gave him the name?

At this moment, the door was opened again, and Ludo walked into the room, grabbing Harry's arm.Still trying to catch Ike, but was dodged.

"It's too bizarre, it's really too bizarre!"

"Please allow me to introduce, this is the fourth warrior of the Triwizard Tournament - Harry Potter!"

"Are you joking, Mr. Bagman?" Fleur asked with a smile.

"No, no, the Goblet of Fire did spit out his name, so according to the contract, he must participate." Ludo said.

"But...he's too small." Fleur glanced at Harry's height and said.

Before Harry could speak, Dumbledore, Madam Maxime, Karkaroff, old Crouch and the professors walked in.

"Two warriors? I need an explanation, Dumbledore." Mrs. Maxim looked at Ike and Harry and said proudly.

"That's right." Karkaroff echoed, "I don't remember that there is a rule in the charter that the organizer can have two warriors."

Dumbledore didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Ike and Harry.

"Have you cast your names into the Goblet of Fire?"

"Wait, you guys?" Karkaroff interrupted directly, pointing at Ike and asked, "Does he have problems too?"

"Actually, both Stryde and Potter are fourth-year students." Snape said coldly.

"Are you kidding, Dumbledore?" Madame Maxime's eyes widened, "Perhaps it was a mistake to choose Hogwarts as the host of the Triwizard Tournament, at least if it was in Beauxbatons, it would definitely not This happens."

Dumbledore raised his hand, did not answer Madam Maxim's question, and still stared at Ike and Harry.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"I do not have."

"No."

"So, have you asked your senior classmates to help you put your names in?"

"No."

"No."

"You are lying!" Madame Maxime shouted excitedly.

"There's no way they... Potter can't cross that age line..."

"What about him? What about Mr. Strayer?" Mrs. Maxim caught the loophole in Professor McGonagall's words and asked.

"This..." Professor McGonagall was at a loss for words for a while, and Dumbledore continued, "I have to admit that if it is Mr. Strider, he can indeed cross the age line I set up."

"But, as he just said, he didn't."

Mrs. Maxim was about to say something, but Karkaroff looked at old Crouch and Ludo and said: "Mr. You must also think that this matter is inappropriate."

Old Crouch and Ludo looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they said: "It's written in the regulations, as long as the names are sprayed out of the Goblet of Fire, they must participate in the hegemony competition."

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy Madam Maxim and Karkaroff, and they questioned Dumbledore again.

"Please come in!"

Just when everyone was arguing, there was a knock on the door, and when everyone saw who was coming, they were all confused.

"What's the matter, Mr. Diggory?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at Cedric who was at a loss.

"Professors, I'm here to make a statement about Ike Strider being selected as a Hogwarts warrior by the Goblet of Fire..." Cedric glanced at Ike who was coming over, and turned to face Dumbledore said, "Strider's name was cast by me."

"Do you know what you're talking about, Diggory?" Professor McGonagall asked seriously immediately.

"May I ask why you did this, Mr. Diggory." Dumbledore pushed his glasses. "As far as I know, you don't seem to have any reason to make this decision for Mr. Strider."

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Cedric nodded slightly, explaining with confidence, neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm very confident that without Stryde, the only one who can become a Hogwarts warrior is me."

"But it's not fair. An outstanding wizard like Stryde shouldn't be blocked from the competition by an age limit."

"So, for 'fairness', you chose to put Stryde's name in the Goblet of Fire just to know who is the real Hogwarts warrior?"

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

"Okay, I see, thank you for your explanation, Mr Diggory, you can go now." Dumbledore nodded, "I think the students who are still in the Great Hall need to hear this news too. "

Seeing that Cedric was about to leave, Karkaroff directly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Dumbledore, he hasn't said anything about Potter yet?"

"Potter?" Cedric looked at Harry who seemed to be expecting something, and shook his head, "I didn't put his name in."

After speaking, he went out.

"I think that Durmstrang may have to withdraw from this Triwizard Tournament," Karkaroff said. "We will not participate in an unfair Tournament."

"Professor Karkaroff, the warriors selected by the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition." Old Crouch said slowly, "This is bound by the power of the contract."

"I know, Mr. Crouch!" Karkaroff glared at Old Crouch, then looked at Dumbledore and said, "In short, we need an explanation, not the one just now..."

"Fair? Like seeing who the real Hogwarts warriors are?"

"My God, this is ridiculous!"

"Mr. Diggory is telling the truth," said Dumbledore. "If there is no age limit, Mr. Strider is indeed the only candidate for Hogwarts hero."

"A fourth-grade student? Huh!" Karkaroff snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"The best? Did he do something that others couldn't?"

"He put me in the hospital, is that enough explanation, Karkaroff!"

The door was pushed open fiercely, and Moody, leaning on his crutches, quickly walked up to Karkaroff, scaring Karkaroff back two steps.

Moody was aggressive, and the magic eye rarely moved, just staring at Karkaroff.

"The whole of Hogwarts knows about this, I think it can be shown." Moody said viciously, "This is you and your master..."

"Enough, Alastor!" Dumbledore interrupted Moody, looked at Karkaroff and said, "How this situation came about, we don't know."

"But since Ike and Harry have both been chosen, they must..."

"But, Dumbledore..."

"Madam Maxim, do you have any other solution?"

Seeing that no one could refute anymore, Dumbledore said to the old Crouch beside him: "Mr. Crouch, I think the warriors can start their first guidance..."
