The Champions of Hogwarts

Feeling the atmosphere grow increasingly tense, Ludo Bagman looked nervously at Barty Crouch Sr. "Barty... should we do something?"

"Not yet." Barty Crouch Sr. shook his head, his gaze fixed on the Goblet of Fire.

"Look... the Goblet of Fire hasn't gone out yet, which means the selection of Champions isn't complete. Let's wait a little longer!"

Hearing Barty Crouch Sr.'s calm voice, Ludo Bagman nodded.

Seeing this, Headmaster Kamba gently shook his head and remarked again, "How interesting..."
