Vol 2 Chapter 380: Measures (modified, sincere thanks to Ksg, Silver Alliance...

There was a rush of footsteps behind, and Ludo Bagman walked into the room. He grabbed Harry by the arm and pulled him forward.
"It's weird!" He squeezed Harry's arm hard and muttered in a low voice, "It's absolutely weird! Two gentlemen...madams," he walked to the fireside and said to the other three people, "please allow me to introduce Now-although this seems incredible-this is the fourth warrior in the Triwizard Tournament!"
Alan smiled gently, his expression unchanged.
Victor Krum straightened up and looked Harry up and down, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Fleur Delacour shook her long hair, smiled, and said, "Oh, this joke is very funny, Mr. Bagman."
"Joke?" Bagman repeated, somewhat puzzled, "No, no, absolutely not! Harry Potter's name just spurted out of the Goblet of Fire!"
The door behind them was pushed open again, and a large crowd came in, Dumbledore's wand pointed, and the buzzing in the auditorium was blocked behind the door.
"What the is going on, Dumbledore?" Ms. Maxim straightened her burly and tall body. Her handsome head touched the chandelier full of candles, and her huge breast in black satin clothes undulated violently.
"I want to know this too, Dumbledore," said Professor Karkaroff-with a cold smile on his face and his blue eyes as cold as ice cubes. "It's not that the age gap has been plugged. Why? Why are there still junior wizards?"
"Did you let someone throw your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?" he asked calmly.
"I didn't!" Harry said excitedly.
Allen walked to Harry's side and patted Harry on the shoulder. "I believe you." Alan couldn't help but admire Dumbledore's acting skills. He knew who did it, but watched now. He looks extremely innocent.
"Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, you two are objective referees, what do you think of this?" Dumbledore asked actively.
"We must abide by the regulations. The regulations clearly stipulate that anyone whose name comes out of the goblet of fire must participate in the competition." Crouch said stiffly, half of his face hidden in the shadows. Like a skeleton.
"Hey, Batty memorized the regulations so well." Bagman said, a smile on his face.
Seeing Bagman's smile, Allen had a vague guess in his heart. This guy must want to bet on Harry.
"It's not fair. There are two wizards in Hogwarts, and we only have one." Karkaroff complained, "Why is there a fourth person?"
"This is obviously premeditated, Karkaroff. Maybe someone wants Harry to die for this. Harry can never throw his name into the Goblet of Fire. This requires a particularly powerful confusing spell, for example. Harry’s name was reported as a student in the fourth school, and he made sure he was the only candidate for that school.
Dumbledore explained calmly.
"It must be Alan Harris, he and Harry Potter look so good, he helped Harry Potter put the name in!" Karkaroff said loudly. He felt that what he had guessed was the truth, "In this way, he will have the opportunity to participate in the competition, the possibility of Hogwarts winning the championship will increase, and there is a thousand gallons of prize money-this opportunity is dreamed by many people. !"
Karkaroff's face blushed as if on fire.
"I insist that my other students re-register." Karkaroff said, his voice was no longer smooth, his smile disappeared, and the expression on his face was ugly.
"But Karkaroff, I'm afraid that won't be possible," Bagman said. "The Goblet of Fire has just gone out-it won't be rekindled until the next Championship -"
"The next championship, Durmstrang will never participate!" Karkaroff furiously, "We have had so many meetings, after so many negotiations and consultations, I didn't expect such a thing to happen again. I just want to leave now!"
"How this situation arises, we don't know." Dumbledore said to everyone gathered in the room, "but in my opinion, we have no choice but to accept it."
"Ah, but Dumbledore—"
"My dear Ms. Maxim, if you have another solution, I am willing to listen." Dumbledore waited, but Ms. Maxim did not speak, she just stared angrily.
"Allow me to interrupt, maybe I have a solution." Allen broke the awkward silence in the room.
Everyone looked at Allen.
"Because the Goblet of Fire stipulates that everyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition. But there is no stipulation that people who have not signed a contract with the Goblet of Fire cannot participate in the competition."
Allen's words made the people present think.
"Then we can bypass this rule, and the other two schools can also choose one more player to compete. The referee can also score the two extra players. Although they were still unable to establish a contract with the Goblet It admits, but we wizards should not be swayed by a magic vessel made by wizards. Everyone can still compete for the championship fairly." After Allen finished speaking, he calmly looked at the three principals in the room~EbookFREE.me ~It's a good idea, Mr. Crouch, what do you think? "Kakaroff was the first to agree.
Ms. Maxim's eyes flashed, and she agreed to this method.
"Since you don't have any comments, let's do it this way." Mr. Crouch squinted at Alan, then looked at the time, and agreed to Alan's suggestion.
"Superior ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind." Dumbledore looked at Allen with admiration.
Which two little wizards can stand out, both Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim felt that they had to go back and study them carefully.
Bagman happily announced the time of the first match, and then left Hogwarts with Crouch and Albert.
"This Alan Harris is just like his father. He is pushy and gesticulates, which in vain increases the difficulty of winning the championship." Crouch's thin face was very gloomy.
He has been blocked everywhere in the ministry recently, and his decree is not as smooth as before.
Seeing Allen's behavior today reminded him of his father and brother.
Owen Harris seems to have been asking him for trouble, although with his current status and power, it is not a problem to keep these men, but these things involve too much energy and make him really annoyed.
Albert, who was arranged to follow Crouch, could not help but argue for his younger brother: "Allen is a very talented and astute wizard. You see, everyone's helpless problems can be solved in his hands. , I believe my brother can win all the games."
"Child, shut up!" Mr. Crouch suddenly roared like an enraged bull.
Facing this sudden sonic attack, Albert couldn't help being stunned, which made his expression look a little dazed.
