Train to Another World.

Chapter 524: Triwizard Tournament

When Li Zhuoguang happily stuffed the Qilin into the box and took it away, Dumbledore looked at Newt. Newt spread his hands and said, "It's not my fault. Although their last name is Li, no one in the East calls them the Li family directly. I couldn't think of it for a while."

"By the way, what is their family's reputation in the local area?"

Newt shook his head: "I don't know, it's too mysterious, and they basically don't communicate with the outside world. Some people say that their ancestors were apprentices of Zou Yan, and some people say that a member of the Li family once used the pseudonym Kong Bo to cultivate the Chinese fireball.

But what everyone recognizes is the power of their family. There are even rumors that they have developed a secret method that can use the blood of magical animals to transform wizards, and also give magical animals the ability to cast spells.

After the incident in 1930, the Magic Alliance asked the Li family to help take care of the Qilin before the election, firstly because the Qilin originated in the East, and secondly because of their strength. "

At this point, Newt shook his head grimly. "That's true, but the previous heads of the Lee family were all adult wizards. The head of this generation is only twelve or thirteen years old. I'm afraid this year won't be smooth. I can only trouble you, professor."

Dumbledore just smiled and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe I won't have to do it."

Newt didn't understand why, and thought that Hogwarts' security procedures were well done. Not long after, a large bird landed in front of the window of the principal's office. Dumbledore looked at the bird, a little puzzled.

Although wizards all like to use owls to deliver letters, some still prefer to use others. For example, the macaw that is now resting on his windowsill is the messenger that wizards in South America like to use.

Dumbledore opened the window, took the letter from the macaw, opened it and quickly scanned it, his face calmed down. He turned to look at Newt: "It seems that things are a bit troublesome."

Then he handed the letter to Newt. Newt took the letter and exclaimed: "This is?! What are they thinking?"

"It seems that everyone is familiar with Mr. Li's situation as a student at Hogwarts."

Li Zhuoguang returned to the hall with his suitcase. Malfoy was still having his meal, so Li Zhuoguang said to him, "Write a letter home and ask the Daily Prophet to publish the news that I have a Qilin."

"what?"

"The election for the new chairman of the Magic Alliance is about to begin. The election method is to let Qilin make the choice. Now the Qilin is in my hands. Before the election begins, I will protect it. Please let the Daily Prophet publish this news."

Malfoy was delighted when he heard this. Li Zhuoguang was participating in an international event. As his right-hand man, Malfoy also felt honored.

But soon, his joy disappeared. Although Malfoy occasionally made mistakes, he was not really stupid. He said to Li Zhuoguang carefully, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? I heard that someone tampered with Qilin decades ago, and it was the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald who did it."

Li Zhuoguang looked at Malfoy: "How come even you know about this?"

Malfoy said as a matter of course: "That incident was too big a deal. The whole world knows about it. All pure-blood families have records of it."

"Then tell me about it."

As Malfoy continued to talk, Li Zhuoguang roughly understood what had happened before: "So, the previous accident was resolved by Dumbledore and Newt Scamander?"

Malfoy nodded: "Yes. It was also because of that incident that Grindelwald's reputation plummeted."

Li Zhuoguang shook his head after hearing this, and he became more and more suspicious that the world of his mission this time was different from the original book. If there was such an important thing, why didn't the original book mention it? It was just a lame setting. But he didn't care. He didn't care whether the person who could become the chairman of the Magic Alliance was a man or a dog. He just wanted many wizards with bad intentions to come to Qilin and become his medicine for curing his illness.

Today is Friday, and after dinner, Li Zhuoguang went to the Request Room as usual to open a cram school. But today, everyone was stopped by the principal, who said that there was something important to notify them.

Li Zhuoguang was a little confused. The thing he was most satisfied with about Hogwarts was that there were no meetings. There were basically only two meetings every school year. The first was at the beginning of the school year, and the second was at the end of the term. Today, Dumbledore came out to announce something, which had never happened in the original book.

Dumbledore stood up from the staff seat. "Now, a last-minute announcement. The Quidditch matches for this school year have been cancelled."

Immediately, students from the four colleges all wailed. The Quidditch match between the four colleges was almost their main form of entertainment in school.

Dumbledore pressed his palm to signal everyone to be quiet. After everyone was quiet, Dumbledore announced: "The Triwizard Tournament will be held this year, and it will be held in our school."

The hall suddenly fell silent, but then there were discussions. For the young wizards from wizard families, the news of restarting the Triwizard Tournament was much more exciting than the cancellation of the Quidditch game.

Li Zhuoguang, who was sitting in his seat, was stunned. What on earth was going on? Wasn't this the plot from the fourth grade? How did it start earlier?

After announcing this, Dumbledore did not dismiss the students. Instead, he asked everyone to wait for a while, but he did not specify what they were waiting for. In order to take care of everyone's mood, he also asked the kitchen to prepare desserts and put them on the long table.

In fact, the young wizards did not feel bored of waiting. After all, the news was so exciting that they were still in an excited state and kept talking about everything about the Triwizard Tournament.

After a while, the door of the hall was pushed open, and Snape and several others walked into the hall. Snape, who was walking in front, had an extremely ugly face, and walked very fast, as if someone was chasing him with a mop covered in shit.

Walking behind Snape were two officials from the Ministry of Magic.

When two officials from the Ministry of Magic arrived at the hall, they first greeted Dumbledore and then introduced themselves. They were Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman, just like in the book.

I think it should be the two of them. After all, one is the Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, and the other is the Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic. It is suitable for them to represent the Ministry of Magic.

Li Zhuoguang also knew why Snape looked so bad.

Igor Karkaroff was a Death Eater who was captured by Mad-Eye Moody after a six-month pursuit and sent to Azkaban.

Karkaroff was tried after Voldemort's downfall, and faced life imprisonment in Azkaban, but he reached an agreement with Crouch, then Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, to give the names of other Death Eaters at the Magical Law Council as a condition for his release.

He naturally betrayed his accomplices and gave out other Death Eaters, including Snape, in exchange for a reward of exemption from punishment, but he could not stay in the British Isles, so he had to go to another country and finally became the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But Crouch Jr. was not much better, he hunted down Death Eaters and eventually found out that his son was also a Death Eater. Because of this incident, he lost the election for Minister of Magic to Fudge, a good-for-nothing.

He was also transferred from the powerful Department of Magical Law Enforcement to the less powerful Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation.
