I opened a blind box at Hogwarts

Chapter 252 The Eve of the Second World Chapter Eighteen
Thinking of this, Joshua shook his head frequently, and he became more and more sure that he had misjudged the wrong person.

Old Batty is not a person worthy of cooperation. He can really do anything in order to achieve his goals.

When his son was revealed to be a Death Eater, Barty Sr. was in full swing in the Ministry of Magic, and he was almost certain to be a candidate for the next minister.

In the eyes of outsiders, killing relatives for justice and selflessness is actually just a choice to protect oneself in order not to lose the status of the Ministry of Magic.

From the fact that he secretly replaced his son from Azkaban later, it can be seen that he himself doesn't care about the regulations of the Ministry of Magic at all.

With such a heavy heart, Joshua returned to his room and watched Tonks unceremoniously lay on his bed.

Joshua said you don't mind we can sleep together tonight
Dumbledore's intervention and Burns' opposition did not make Barty let go. He still insisted on letting Joshua participate in the competition.

Then Dumbledore personally explained the matter to Joshua, and it was incredible that he temporarily lent Joshua the Elder Wand in his hand.

Looking at Dumbledore's back in the distance, and feeling the touch of the wand in his hand, what Joshua wanted to say was "Is this considered cheating?"

The day before the start of the third event, Akelia Peter Pan, the person in charge of the Fire Dragon Sanctuary and the head of the Fire Dragon Competition Committee, drew lots for the remaining nine contestants under the eyes of everyone.

Yes, there were only nine of the thirteen contestants who originally participated in the second event.

This time, various newspapers and periodicals in the European magic world rushed to report. This year's Fire Dragon Tournament is almost the one with the highest casualty rate in history, especially before the game started, more than 50.00% of the players could not continue to participate It's game.

Joshua's parents also knew about this. They were very worried about Joshua's safety. For this reason, they found Dumbledore and Burns and wanted Joshua to withdraw from the competition. Unfortunately, their efforts were all rejected by old Barty. His stubbornness and selfishness were destroyed.

The third event, the fire dragon battle final, is a physical and magical collision between two fire dragons and two contestants in a huge arena, and it is also the most interesting part of the fire dragon competition.

But it is also the most dangerous place. There are not a few contestants who have been killed or injured in previous competitions.

Mr. Joestar and Ms. Joestar sat in the auditorium with extremely nervous faces. They were not as calm and excited as before. They were Muggles and not wizards, so when they learned about the power of Fire Dragon from Charlie’s unintentional words, After the third event of the competition, he was worried.

They had looked for Dumbledore and Ackles, but now that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic of many countries had blocked and controlled the Fire Dragon Reserve, it was difficult for them to even bring Joshua's parents to meet Joshua.

"Do you think Joshua will win the championship?" Luna, who was sitting in the stands, looking forward to the result of the lottery, looked at Hermione beside her.

"Champion?" Hermione shook her head slightly and said with a chuckle, "Joshua has many strange tricks and tricks, but those little tricks have reached the limit in this kind of competition!"

Hearing Hermione's answer, Luna was silent for a while, but the conversation between the two of them attracted Fred and George in the back seat.

"Hermione, you have to say that you have won our approval on this point!" Fred said.

"Yeah, Joshua has reached his limit. If he can advance to the final, we will eat the seat under his butt on the spot!" George said.

In fact, the two of them must have got the inside story of Dumbledore. In fact, it is not an inside story. After all, as early as Hogwarts, they knew that Joshua came to participate in the Fire Dragon Tournament. The symbol and publicity were greater than the actual competition. ranking.

As a result, the two of them, who had piled up products that could not be sold recently, wanted to increase some funds and chose to bet on Joshua's exit.

However, Joshua's outstanding performance in the second project made them lose a fortune, but Fred and George still firmly believe that Joshua will never be the same as before in the third project!

When a few goblins put an exquisite box in front of Akelia Peter Pan, the head of the Fire Dragon Sanctuary and Competition Committee.

This ornately decorated box with gold inlays attracted the attention of all spectators.

When the goblins touched the box with their long and narrow fingers, a silver cup adorned with multicolored gemstones appeared from the box.

In various competitions in the European magic world, wizards are very keen to use some kind of magic cup to select contestants or draw lots, and this time is no exception.

But this silver cup decorated with multicolored gemstones is not the Goblet of Fire, it is the Holy Grail of Merlin imitated by fairies with mithril.

Although it is an imitation, it has nothing to do with the Holy Grail of Merlin, let alone the style and pattern. According to legend, the Holy Grail of Merlin under the Fire Dragon Altar is carved from pure white rock, and there are no gems on it.
Akelia held the nine notes with the names of the contestants in his hand, and then a suction force appeared in the cup, sucking the notes in his hand into it.

Nine contestants, two-two duel, which means that there will be a bye, and everyone is paying attention to what kind of collision between the two will happen next, and who the lucky guy is.
