Goblet of Fire, an Impossible Demand

Adrian smiled and raised an eyebrow at Aaron before calmly stepping to the front of the stage.

Barty Crouch stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Let me introduce you to Adrian Klein, the final and most special referee of the Triwizard Tournament."

Miss Klein was jointly recommended by the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards. She is not responsible for scoring the participating Champion, but she will record the competition process to ensure its fairness and impartiality.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The Great Hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"The Champion ' three competition events this year have been carefully reviewed and will be held at different times throughout the academic year."

Crouch, Ludo Bagman, and Miss Klein made the necessary arrangements for each project, which tested the Champion ' magical talents, courage, reasoning abilities, and ability to overcome danger.

"Professor Dumbledore, may we bring up the Goblet of Fire now?"

"Of course, Miss Klein." Dumbledore, then looked at Filch, who was standing in the corner. "Filch, please bring the box up!"

Filch nodded and gestured for a few people to place a large, jewel-encrusted, gold, tower-shaped wooden box in the center of the platform.

Dumbledore Wand lightly, and the golden wooden box melted away, revealing a roughly carved wooden goblet.

The cup is over a meter tall and looks unremarkable, but a blue flame burns inside.

"The Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore looked at the goblet for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Students who wish to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, please write your names on a piece of parchment and drop it into this goblet."

The goblet will be placed in the Entrance Hall, and all students who wish to register can touch it. Registration is open for 24 hours, Goblet of Fire will select the names of qualified students tomorrow night.

In addition, to prevent underage Warlock from succumbing to temptation, I will set an Age Line that cannot be crossed by anyone under the age of fourteen.

Next, Miss Klein will provide further explanation.

Adrian walked up to the Goblet of Fire and gave Aaron a meaningful smile, which made Aaron feel uneasy, reminding him of the scene of him Divination on the Crystal Ball.

Although I don't know what will happen next, it certainly won't be friendly to him.

"The Triwizard Tournament is a competition between three schools, with the aim of promoting friendly exchanges among young Warlock."

Fourteen years old is merely a requirement for registration; those truly qualified for the selection are all exceptional talents, few and far between. "Adrian said, looking at the crowd below the stage, his eyes full of amusement, "Many of you are probably eager to try and pursue this Eternity Glory."

You may think you are capable of completing the challenge, and that it doesn't matter if you fail, because there will be no danger to your life.

However, I must remind everyone that not being in mortal danger does not mean there is no danger. Klein will guarantee that no participant will die during the competition, but that is all he can do.

Missing limbs, loss of consciousness, and permanent coma are all within acceptable limits... For the most severe cases, you might refer to the Dementor's Kiss.

As soon as the words were spoken, most of the Warlock who had intended to sign up immediately gave up.

There is no immediate danger to life, but being alive is worse than death, which is more terrifying than death itself.

Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction. He knew Hogwarts all too well. They might not take his warning as the headmaster seriously, but Adrian Klein's few words were enough to make many people hesitate.

Indeed, that was the case. Harry, Harry, and his two companions looked at each other, and they could all see a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

Draco's expression darkened slightly, and he hesitated in his decision to sign up.

However, some students who had already planned to enroll remained unmoved; a few words couldn't shake their confidence, and the Weasley Twins even showed a provocative smile.

"Finally, the Goblet of Fire is a magical contract, and the chosen one has no right to give up."

Therefore... I advise everyone to carefully consider before registering.

As the banquet drew to a close, the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, led by their headmaster, returned to their carriages and the giant ship, while the students of Hogwarts also departed one after another.

Aaron didn't move, because he knew someone would definitely come looking for him.

Of course, after exchanging a few more words with Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman of the Ministry of Magic, Adrian slowly came over.

"Surprised? Unexpected? Touched?" Adrian sat down opposite Aaron and couldn't help but laugh at his upright posture. "I put aside my work to come to Hogwarts specifically to support this Triwizard Tournament, and you, as his younger brother, seem quite unhappy."

"No, that's not true. I was naturally pleasantly surprised and touched by your arrival, Big Sister." Aaron chuckled awkwardly, then tentatively asked, "Excuse me, but could I possibly opt out of the Triwizard Tournament?"

What do you think?

Aaron's face twitched slightly, and he closed his eyes in pain. "I knew it, but why?"

"Because of Clea," Adrian said directly. "As I said before, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will help you get more time, but if you don't perform well, I will stand by her side without hesitation."

So, for your own sake, don't let me down!

"Hehe!" Aaron patted his forehead helplessly. "But aren't you worried about what will happen if your brother me falls into trouble?"

"You can't do that. You're no weaker than those senior Warlock right now."

"Just in case, I mean just in case."

"There's no need to worry about that," Adrian. "Klein was also involved in the creation of the Goblet of Goblet of Fire."

The descendants of the Klein Family can modify the contract to a certain extent to ensure the immortality of the contestant's Soul Stone.

"As long as your Soul Stone is still alive, Uncle Jeans can definitely bring you back."

"That's very thoughtful." Aaron sighed, picked up Abei, and stood up from his seat. "I will participate. I hope you won't forget your promise, big sister."

"Wait a minute," Adrian stopped Aaron. "Just registering is no fun at all!"

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, a sense of the Grim rising within him. He quickly said, "I will win the championship."

"I don't doubt your abilities, but an answer that's already known is rather boring."

Gollum!

Aaron swallowed hard. "Sister, what do you want me to do?"

"It's simple." Adrian snapped his fingers. "The Triwizard Tournament has three events, and you can only pass each one at the very end. If you can win the championship under these circumstances..."

"Wait, isn't this asking the impossible?"

I came in last place in every level, so it would be strange if I got a high score.

"That's your job." Adrian patted Aaron on the shoulder. "As the most outstanding bloodline in Gaius's history, you can definitely do it."

In addition, there is an additional condition.

This is my first time hosting such a large-scale event, and I don't want any major accidents to happen, understand?

Aaron's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded blankly.

After leaving the Great Hall and returning to the Common Room, Aaron sat on the sofa in a daze.

"System, open the task panel."

The Triwizard Tournament;

The reward for completing the task is 2000 Magic Points; there is no penalty for failure. Do you accept this offer?

"I accept," Aaron said bitterly. At this point, he had no other choice.

"Gaius." Niall led the way, followed by several high-ranking Slytherin, both men and women.

"I'm in a bad mood, so speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Uh... well... isn't your sister one of the referees?" Niall scratched his head sheepishly. "If possible, could you reveal some inside information?"

Aaron paused for a moment, then looked at the expectant faces of the group and understood that they all wanted to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Adrian didn't tell me anything."

"No way! You're her brother." A sixth-grade girl said skeptically.

"Senior, please get this straight before you speak." Aaron rolled his eyes. "I'm Gaius, and she's Klein. In other words, I'm not her biological brother."

"Is that so?" Niall asked thoughtfully, then continued, "If there's any inside information..."

"I will tell you."

Thank you.

After dismissing several high-ranking Warlock, Niall hesitated for a moment before asking, "Aaron, is your sister currently single?"

Aaron couldn't help but spray out the half-finished drink.

"You're interested in her?"

Niall blushed and nodded. "It's not just me, many people are interested in her, but she has such a strong presence, she's like a queen, none of us have the courage to approach her directly."

"I understand, I get it." Aaron nodded solemnly, then looked at him with a slightly sympathetic gaze, "Considering that you've taken care of us Prefect, I'll give you a piece of advice: give up!"

"Give me a reason," Niall said defiantly.

Aaron looked at his face and hesitated for a moment. "I don't want to hurt you, but if I may be so bold, your face doesn't meet her aesthetic standards at all."

Upon hearing this, Niall felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

He had a clear understanding of himself; although he was not bad-looking, he was not quite at the level of being handsome and dashing.

"Adrian doesn't seem that superficial!"

"That's true. For my sister, appearance is just one aspect; the most important thing is ability."

"Then I..."

"You still can't," Aaron said bluntly. "You can't beat her."

Niall:...

"You have so little faith in me?"

"It's not that I lack confidence, it's just a fact." Aaron shrugged. "You can't beat me, and I can't beat her."

He wasn't lying when he said that. Without taking back his Thought Form, Aaron would probably only be able to fight her to a standstill if he used all his trump cards.

Is it really that exaggerated?

"Hehe! My sister's talent is the highest among us, and her combat experience is extraordinary. If our magic power is the same, she will definitely win."

So don't get any unrealistic expectations; at least among these three magic schools, there's probably no one who's good enough for her.

Niall:...
