Alastor Moody's Advance

The students from the other three magic schools turned their attention to the Goblet of Fire again, wondering whether it was about to stir back to life and spit out another batch of Champions.

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed. The Goblet of Fire, which had erupted like a live volcano, finally showed signs of dying down.

As Wizet rose to his feet, the blue-white flames within the Goblet of Fire flickered gently, dimming at a visible rate.

Smiling, Dumbledore beckoned the four Hogwarts Champions forward. The blue-white flames inside the Goblet of Fire vanished completely, leaving behind an "utterly ordinary" wooden goblet.

The flames in the Goblet of Fire had gone out, but the Great Hall had been set ablaze. Students from Durmstrang, Ilvermorny, and Beauxbatons broke into heated discussion, while the heads of the three schools raised repeated objections.

Barty Crouch Sr. stepped forward at the right moment and began speaking with Madame Maxime, Seraphina Picquery, and Karkaroff.

He clasped his hands behind his back and waved toward where Ludo Bagman was standing. Whether Bagman had finally caught on or simply wanted to escape the dispute, he hurried over to Wizet and the others.

"Headmaster Dumbledore..." Ludo Bagman asked tentatively, "Shall I take them inside first?"

"That would be wonderful!" Dumbledore nodded. "We'll be going in shortly as well."

Away from the dispute in the Great Hall, Ludo Bagman, who had seemed somewhat troubled, became animated again.

He strode ahead with his head held high, leading Wizet and the others into the room while muttering, "Incredible... but that only makes it more interesting, doesn't it?"

At the sound of Ludo Bagman's voice, the Champions in the room all turned to look at Wizet and the others standing in the doorway.

"Wizet, you really are a Champion too!" Ayo
