The first round of Champions emerged quickly, after which the Goblet of Fire seemed to hesitate for a little while again.
Then came the first Champion's name in the second round. This time, the order was somewhat different from the previous round. The first name read out belonged to Castelobruxo's other student, Carlos Blanco.
He was a boy native to the Americas who looked a little like Jacob Corvinus from Ilvermorny at first glance. He was not as burly or solidly built as Corvinus, but his features were more delicate, and his complexion was a little fairer and clearer.
Harry did not like this boy either. He gave off a similar air to Markov Horton from earlier. The corners of his mouth were always slightly raised, as though he were sneering.
Compared with Horton, however, Blanco was a little more polite. After stepping forward and shaking hands with Dumbledore, he even bowed to everyone. Once he entered the room, he also smiled and nodded at Harry and the others.
Even so, Harry still felt that this fellow looked down on people. Well, not everyone. The moment he entered, his eyes landed on Beauxbatons' Champion, Delacour, and stayed there as though they had been glued in place.
Well, it was not just him. Horton had also been stealing glances at Delacour all along. Krum and Corvinus, on the other hand, barely looked at the girl Harry and the others suspected was a Veela.
After that, the Goblet of Fire returned to its previous efficiency.
The second Champion of the second round was selected: Julianne Sirtute of Durmstrang Institute.
She was a girl with distinctly Northern European features: blonde hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, large eyes, very fair skin, and a tall figure. She was almost as tall as Krum.
