The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 331 Determining the Representatives (3)

In the evening, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was filled with young wizards.

Today is a grand day. The hall has been enchanted; the starry ceiling has transformed into a galaxy, and clusters of jewel-like lights float in the air, illuminating the hall with dazzling brilliance.

Lockhart summoned a large group of flower fairies, dressed as Cupid, who flew all over the castle, offering everyone they met a cup of honey water.

"Hmm, fresh nectar," Moriarty commented after tasting it.

"It tastes really good." Lilith nodded as well. "There's rose honey, jasmine honey, violet honey..."

The young lady gave a commendable high rating.

"Did you hear? Minister Fudge will be at the ceremony later," Marcus shared with the snakes the news he had gleaned from the Ministry of Magic.

"I've heard that the Malfoy family has organized an Auror squad to protect the student representatives," a sixth-year pureblood serpent said with an air of importance.

"Malfoy?" Violet's light voice came from behind her. She picked up her wine glass and took a small sip. Was this the Malfoy whose head had been cut off by Quinlan?

"Looks like Mrs. Malfoy and young Malfoy will be watching the match too," Lilith said meaningfully, observing Violet's expression.

Sure enough, Violet gave Moriarty a strange look, as if she didn't understand why Lilith emphasized "Madame Malfoy".

However, since Lilith said so, it's clear that Moriarty is involved.

Do you think I don't know what Lilith is made of?!

Violet thought to herself with a touch of arrogance.

Seeing that her words had an effect, Lilith curled the corners of her lips and thought slyly, "The clash between Mrs. Malfoy and the little vampire will definitely be very interesting!"

The others had no idea about the exchange. Soldaya thought of Draco and laughed, "Little Malfoy will be enrolling next year. Needless to say, he'll definitely be a Slytherin."

"How did you know you were the Sorting Hat?" a second-year student joked.

"Want to make a bet? I'll bet a Galleon!" Soldaya said with a grin.

"I'll bet...I'll bet a bronze nut!"

"cut…"

"ladies and gentlemen……"

Lockhart's voice came from the corridor as he entered the Great Hall, looking very happy. His wizard robes were brand new and gleaming, and he wore a wizard's hat adorned with colorful peacock feathers.

"Today is a great day!"

"Today is Hogwarts."

"It's Iphamoni."

"It's Beauxbatons."

"It's a magic shop."

"And the day Durmstrang's five major magic schools will decide on student representatives!"

Lockhart walked over with a smile and high spirits, waving to the young wizards around him in his usual melodious tone.

"Whoa whoa whoa!!"

"Professor Lockhart! Professor Lockhart!"

Clearly, Lockhart was very popular with young wizards, regardless of their nationality.

However, some people didn't buy into this. Karkaroff, sitting on the professor's seat, rolled his eyes and expressed his dissatisfaction with Lockhart placing Durmstrang last.

Lockhart thought to himself, "It's not my fault. Who told Durmstrang to be the last one to arrive?"

"I am honored to host the ceremony. Although I would like to share my experience in handling large events, time does not allow me to do so. If any of you would like to learn from this experience, please write to me."

Lockhart put it on perfectly logically.

"Alright, first let's welcome—" Lockhart didn't forget the main character, waving his hand towards the castle gate and shouting:

"Welcome, witness, Minister Fouché!"

"Welcome to the twelve school board members for their sponsorship of this joint education program!"

"Welcome to the Five Schools League's finest support, the pureblood Auror!"

The door opened with a "whoosh," and people turned to look. A group of people walked in, with Minister Fouché at the front.

Good heavens, Fudge has gained weight again. Moriarty thinks Fudge will get diabetes sooner or later, not to mention high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar.

Then Moriarty saw the twelve school board members, most of them with their own children. Among them, Madame Malfoy, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and proud, like an inviolable black rose.

Draco, like the other children, looked around with curiosity as Mrs. Malfoy pulled him toward the professor's chair.

Finally, a squad of 13 Aurors entered, led by a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Lilith recognized him and said he was from the Shackler family.

I recognized the second-ranked Auror, Moriarty; it was Leon.

The senior who graduated last year rose through the ranks incredibly quickly after joining the Ministry of Magic because he got involved with Moriarty.

At that moment, he walked over solemnly, and as he passed the top of the Slytherin table, he casually slipped Moriarty a note.

Moriarty's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. If something serious hadn't happened, Leon wouldn't have risked being exposed to contact him.

However, the fact that Leon is here shows that everything is still under control.

Just then, Lockhart announced that the five principals would announce the names of the student representatives. The principals all stood up, and Moriarty was easily spotted in their gaze.

Moriarty then gave up on reading the note and hid it in his robe.

Everyone stared intently at the professors' table. The five principals smiled and looked around. Even Karkaroff smiled, though he mostly smiled at Durmstrang students.

"Oh, I know you're all eager to hear about the rules and format of the Five Schools League," Dumbledore said with a smile, drawing everyone's attention. "But first, let's elect student representatives, and then celebrate—let's make the most of tonight!"

These words clearly appealed to the students, and a cheer erupted from below.

In fact, most people know who the student representative is.

Everyone has seen how each person behaves; it's just a few people.

But this time it's different.

There are five representatives from Hogwarts!

If there were only one person, that person would definitely be Moriarty; that's the consensus.

If there are two people, one is Moriarty, and the other could be Tonks? Or maybe Charlie?

In short, those who are elected will be happy, and those who are not elected will be disappointed.

Now there can be five representatives!

Doesn't that mean that Tonks and Charlie can play, and others will also have the opportunity to showcase themselves and bring glory to the school?

Wizards from other countries had similar ideas. Their numbers were much smaller than Hogwarts', so the chances of selecting five people from among them were very high.

"First, let Headmaster Karkaroff announce Durmstrang's representative." Dumbledore clapped.

Karkaroff received a round of applause and then took a parchment from his wizard robes.

He unfolded the book and read aloud: "First place, Viktor Krum! He got 9 S's and 1 SS in ten courses at Durmstrang! The five headmasters gave him 1 SS and 4 A's!"

"Welcome, Krum!"

Karkarov clapped his hands as if Krum were his son.

"Krum! Krum!"

Many students started calling out Krum's name. As a Quidditch star and known for his friendly personality, Krum was quite popular.

Krum stood up and walked over, giving Moriarty a wry smile as he went.

His only SS-rank skill was Flying, and his Quidditch star status undoubtedly played a role, but it was somewhat like showing off his limited skills in front of the Slytherin Master.

At the Italian World Cup, Moriarty personally defeated the Bulgarian team he led!

So, Krum was really embarrassed.

Moreover, in his view, the other principals' evaluations of him were more objective, and that Principal Karkarov was too indulgent towards him.

Let's hear Moriarty's rating later. If it's an S-level, I'd better find a hole to crawl into.

"Second place, Hubblemont!"

"He received 9 A's out of 10 courses, and the principals of the five schools gave him 5 A grades!"

Welcome, Hubblemont!

Karkaroff smiled broadly as he watched Khabib walk towards him; this was also one of his beloved students.

Harbourmont is a sixth-grade student, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with long blue hair that ripples like ocean waves under the lights.

“Many years ago, one of the principals at Durmstrang was named Monte,” Soldaya said, explaining as people looked at him, “My family considered sending me to Durmstrang, so I looked into their history.”

"So, this big blue-haired guy also comes from a prestigious family." Lilith rested her chin on her hand, looking rather bored.

"Third, fourth, fifth—Eletjo! Anianova! Magalskibrengel!"

Karkaroff seemed to be on fire, and finished speaking in one breath.

"Merlin's miracle! Their grades are exactly the same, 9 A's! And the five headmasters' grades are also remarkably consistent: 1 A and 4 B's!"

Karkarov glanced at the other four principals with dissatisfaction, as if to say, "Why are the scores so low?"

The four principals pretended not to see it, but Principal Dawn gave them a look that said, "You're the one who raised the price!"

Joe and his two companions walked over, while Durmstrang's five representatives stood at the front. They looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and drew their wands, pointing them at their chests.

Their attire instantly transformed into Durmstrang's school uniforms, consisting of blood-red robes underneath fur cloaks.

"Fight for Durmstrang's honor!"

The five of them looked up and shouted, their eyes sparkling, showing everyone their determination and Durmstrang's educational philosophy.
