He glanced at Levin Green, his eyes flashing.

It's all because of this child.

Fortunately, he had previously persuaded Mrs. Maxim to work with him to exclude Levin from the list of warriors; otherwise, Durmstrang's situation would have been even worse.

Chapter 306 The Open and Covert Struggles at the Banquet

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students and faculty have already arrived.

At Dumbledore's invitation, the group finally entered the warm Great Hall.

The Durmstrang young wizards took their seats at the Slytherin table.

Beauxbatons, on the other hand, was seated at the Ravenclaw table.

May I sit here?

As soon as Levin sat down, Fleur's clear voice rang in his ears.

Before anyone could answer, the girl led Gabrielle to sit on Levin's right.

That should have been Steve's seat, but now his face was flushed red as he stared blankly at the Beauxbatons girl in front of him. He opened his mouth, but only managed to utter a few indistinct sounds, as if he were stuck.

"Wake up, Steve."

Levin nudged his roommate, channeling his psychic powers into his body. The power of [Mechanized Mind] acted like the "Ice Heart Technique," instantly bringing him back to his senses.

"Okay...ok."

After he finished speaking haltingly, he immediately tried to sit down to Levin's left.

But as soon as he took a step, he found a pair of beautiful black eyes staring sternly at him.

“Prefect…Prefect? ​​What do you mean?” Steve immediately understood what the other party meant and quickly took a few steps back. “Please, please sit down. I can sit in another seat.”

"Thank you then."

Zhang Qiu offered a perfunctory thank you, then pulled Luna to sit down directly to Levin's left, her eyes fixed on Fleur.

The two locked eyes, as if casting some kind of invisible force field spell, and no young wizards within several meters of them dared to sit down.

This scene gave Levin a real headache.

However, the chaotic scene didn't only happen on Ravenclaw's side, but also at the Gryffindor Long Table.

"That half-breed Veela must have Levin completely bewitched," Ron whispered sourly to Harry as he watched Fleur sit down next to Levin.

“Definitely not!” Hermione said sharply. “Levin didn’t just stare at her like some people do, like an idiot!”

After saying that, Hermione haughtily raised her head, glanced at Ron, picked up the plate, and walked away.

However, Hermione knew very well that Fleur sitting next to Levin was specifically targeting him.

Even though she defended Levin in front of Ron, she still honestly chose a spot that made it easy to observe Levin and Fleur.

After all the students had entered the auditorium and taken their seats at their respective college tables, the faculty members came in and filed to the head table to sit down.

As the three people of the highest status at the dinner party, Dumbledore, Maxim, and Karkaroff walked at the very back.

After they were all seated, there were still three empty seats in the teachers' section.

As soon as Ms. Maxim entered, the students of Beauxbatons stood up respectfully, including Fleur, who was standing next to Levin.

Seeing this, many Hogwarts students couldn't help but laugh, but they weren't embarrassed at all. They didn't sit down again until Madam Maxim sat down to Dumbledore's left.

“It’s a habit at Beauxbatons. Students can only sit down after the headmaster has sat down, as a sign of respect,” little Gabrielle explained to Levin.

In comparison, Durmstrang students are somewhat lacking in etiquette.

No matter how much Karkaroff tried to signal them with his eyes, they ignored him and continued fiddling with the exquisite plates in front of them.

This caused Karkaroff's entire face to turn black.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and—especially—distinguished guests."

Dumbledore said, smiling as he looked at the foreign students.

"I welcome you to Hogwarts with great joy. I hope and believe that you will feel comfortable and happy here."

"The tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet," said Dumbledore.

"I now invite everyone to eat and drink to their heart's content, just like you would at home!"

In an instant, all the little wizards' plates were piled high with food; the house-elves in the kitchen seemed to have used every trick in the book to make the dinner incredibly lavish.

Unlike before, Levin was surprised to find that there were many new dishes on the table, all of them Gaulish and Nordic cuisine, probably to satisfy the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Levin was eager to try the new dish.

But he soon realized that he didn't need to do that at all.

Because Furong affectionately served him a bowl of French mixed fish soup.

Seeing Furong's actions, Zhang Qiu also handed over a Norwegian smoked salmon.

Next, the two women's open and covert rivalry began on Levin's plate.

The two took turns serving food to Levin: a Danish hot dog for him, and a French-style pan-fried duck breast for him.

Levin had never eaten as much as he had today.

Fortunately, Luna and Gabrielle were staring at each other and didn't get involved, otherwise he would have had to use some of his Animagus skills to handle the excess food at the table today.

Levin's suffering was, in the eyes of the other young wizards, a happy kind of trouble.

Especially the boys in Beauxbatons, when had they ever seen Furong so proactively serving food to the boys?

It's worth noting that in Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour was incredibly aloof, even setting a record of rejecting a hundred men in a row—a record that may never be surpassed in the next hundred years.

Surprisingly, in front of this Ravenclaw boy, she became as lively as a little girl the same age as Gabrielle, and tried to please him like a...

What's so great about that person? He's just a little more handsome, a little more elegant, a little smarter, a little stronger, a little better at Quidditch, a little more famous, a little more academically accomplished, and a little more accomplished in battle... right?

In short, whether they are boys from Beauxbatons or Hogwarts, seeing their goddesses behaving subserviently in front of others, only to be met with indifference from the other party, makes them so angry they want to curse.

At this moment, Professor Flitwick also felt like cursing.

In the teachers' section, Hagrid, sitting next to him, stared wide-eyed at Mrs. Maxim, his breathing quickening.

He wasn't even this excited when Norber was born.

Hagrid raised his large glass, ready to take a sip to calm his nerves.

But instead of drinking the oat wine, it was all poured onto Professor Flitwick's head.

He grinned foolishly, then picked up his fork again, ready to cut some beef.

The fork pierced Professor Flitwick's hand.

Even the usually mild-mannered Professor Flitwick couldn't help but unleash his fury:

"Hagrid, you idiot!"

After the last dessert was eaten, Dumbledore finally stood up again.

The crowd in the auditorium immediately fell silent, watching him with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

At this moment, three more people appeared around Dumbledore, occupying three empty seats.

Levin then realized that Tonks had also come to Hogwarts.

The other person also noticed Levin's gaze and winked at him playfully.

“The moment has finally arrived,” Dumbledore said with a smile. “The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. Before that, please allow me to introduce three special guests: Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic; Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of Sport and Physical Education; and Nymphadora, Deputy Director of the Auror Office.”

Miss Tonks!

A round of enthusiastic applause filled the auditorium, and Crouch merely nodded perfunctorily.

Bagman waved happily in thanks.

As for Tonks, she was completely different from her usual carefree self. She stood tall and straight, looking dashing in her handsome red and white Auror uniform.

She received the most applause.

"Oh, and Mr. Levin Green, please come over here too."

Dumbledore suddenly mentioned Levin's name.

"Over the past few months, Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, and our Mr. Green have contributed a great deal to our Triwizard Tournament. They will now join our three principals to form the judging panel."

Even though the news that Levin had become the organizer of the championship had already spread privately,

But when he actually stood with these adult wizards, it still caused gasps of surprise.

Next, Dumbledore looked at Tonks.

"As for Miss Tonks, let us welcome her back to her alma mater five years after graduation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young wizards burst into enthusiastic applause again.

Especially in higher grades,

There's nothing we can do; Tonks is too young, and many of the people here are her former classmates.

"Let us thank Miss Tonks and the Department of Legal Enforcement for their support. Miss Tonks will be in charge of security during the Triwizard Tournament."

“Well then, Mr. Filch, bring the box up.”

"We have officially finalized the specific events for this year's Three Kingdoms Championship."

As Dumbledore spoke slowly, Filch took the opportunity to place an antique wooden box inlaid with jewels on the table in front of Dumbledore.

"There are four projects in total, which will be carried out at different times throughout the school year. They will test the warriors' magical talents, courage, reasoning abilities, and ability to overcome dangers in many different ways!"

At this point, he gave Levin a deep look.

After he joined the organizing committee, much of the Three Kingdoms Tournament changed beyond recognition.
