As it turns out, Bell was too young and too naive.

Home advantage, for example, is sometimes useless except that you get criticized even more harshly after losing a game.

Watching Cedric walk through the center of the Great Hall, Bell inexplicably felt a pang of pity for him.

Just when everyone thought the Champion Selection was over, and just when Dumbledore was about to give his closing remarks, unexpectedly, or perhaps predictably, the Goblet of Fire spewed out another tongue of flame.

Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Dumbledore reached out again and caught the fourth parchment of the night.

After a brief silence, Dumbledore read aloud:

"Harry Potter!"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Harry, as if they had already scouted Harry location.

Then, a buzzing sound filled the Great Hall, as if countless bees were vigorously vibrating their wings.

The Little Wizard looked at Harry with a variety of expressions, including admiration, envy, jealousy, and anger.

Bell glanced at the crowd around him, who were engaged in a heated discussion, and scratched his head in confusion.

So what are they surprised about?

Isn't it only natural that there are four Champion in the Triwizard Tournament?

Ahem, just kidding.

However, Bell wasn't as surprised as the others. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised by anything that happened during this Triwizard Tournament.

After all, he had already figured out that Dumbledore was up to something again.

Therefore, he would find it strange if something didn't go wrong during the crucial Champion selection process.

Looking at Dumbledore, whose face was calm and who seemed to have everything under control, and then at Harry, who was flustered and at a loss, walking awkwardly through the Great Hall, Bell's eyes gradually became empty.

Although I had expected all of this, I'm still annoyed.

To be honest, although Dumbledore has always been Bell's biggest imaginary enemy, he really doesn't want to be enemies with Dumbledore.

After all, having such a terrifying enemy as Dumbledore is enough to keep you up at night!

Bell didn't want to end up like Voldemort, constantly facing pressure from Dumbledore, suffering from insomnia and going bald at a young age.

However, whether or not they become enemies is not something Bell can decide alone.

His sister's safety was his Achilles' heel, an inviolable bottom line!

If Dumbledore's plan this time will still bring danger to Hogwarts and to Shanna's side, then Bell will have no choice but to keep his promise!

The exciting Champion Selection ended in a somewhat delicate atmosphere.

Clearly, what happened tonight will provide plenty of talking for the Little Wizard for a long time to come, until something even more interesting happens, such as the first match of the Triwizard Tournament.

However, all of this had little to do with Bell. He had much more important things to do.

Considering Quirrell 'Riddle's Diary from his first year Tom Riddle's from his second year, it's not hard to deduce that Dumbledore's arrangement this time is likely related to Voldemort.

Moreover, Bell hadn't forgotten. Unlike the diary that Dumbledore destroyed, the remnant of Voldemort's Soul Fragment that possessed Quirrell had escaped.

Not to mention, Voldemort also has several Horcrux, which are hidden in some unknown corner.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone accidentally discovered Voldemort's Horcrux and, under Voldemort's influence, came out to cause trouble.

Time flows by peacefully, like water.

The first competition will be held on November 24th. Before that, the Little Wizard can only suppress their anticipation and excitement, waiting for the moment to erupt.

It's worth mentioning that just a few days before the competition was about to begin, Hermione suddenly came to ask Bell if there were any special Curses to deal with the Fire Dragon.

"Yes! Fantasy Greatsword · Demonic Fall!"

Bell said, "As for the Dragon Special Attack, I'm very familiar with that!"

"What are you fantasizing about... what's the fall?"

Hermione stared at Bell, completely bewildered. Honestly, she didn't think Harry could learn such a powerful and flashy move in such a short time.

Actually, Hermione came to Bell at Neville's request to ask for advice on how to deal with the Fire Dragon.

Although the details of the Triwizard Tournament are nominally classified as top secret, it's best to just take that with a grain of salt.

It's safe to say that, apart from the Little Wizard at Hogwarts who still had a childlike heart, all the adult wizards outside knew what was going on.

Just kidding, how can you set up betting odds if you don't even know the details of the match?

Cough cough!

Putting aside those "dirty" adults, the Little Wizard who have not yet been assimilated by this corrupt world are still very innocent and naive.

So, with Hagrid's help, Harry didn't dare to say anything after learning that the first competition was to fight Fire Dragon.

He secretly approached his good friend Neville, told him about the incident, and hoped Neville could give him some good ideas.

As for Ron, the remaining member of the trio, he is currently in a cold war with Harry because he is jealous of Harry's selection as Champion.

Unfortunately, Harry had clearly chosen the wrong person.

For Neville, who was often tricked by the Gnome in the yard, suddenly coming up with a way to deal with the Fire Dragon was a huge leap.

So, after staring at each other for a while, and after Harry rejected the suggestion to "seek help from Ron," Neville's not-so-bright mind finally had a flash of inspiration and thought of a kind Little Witch who had been helping him since he entered school— Hermione.

Unlike herself, who was a poor student, Hermione, who was first in her grade, would surely know how to deal with a Fire Dragon.

Therefore, the current situation has arisen where Hermione has come to her boyfriend for help.

Although Hermione strongly disapproved of Harry's cheating behavior.

But considering the Triwizard Tournament's glorious history, Hermione, who thought it was absurd to let a fourth-year Little Wizard face a Fire Dragon alone, ultimately decided to help Harry and Neville at their urging.

But clearly, Harry and Neville overestimated Hermione.

If Hermione were facing a Fire Dragon alone, she could use the extremely dangerous magical items Bell gave her to deal with the Fire Dragon's attack.

Even those magical items couldn't stop a Fire Dragon; she still had her final trump card— the Ten Thousand Snakes.

I believe that Ten Thousand Snakes, which even Bell takes so seriously, should be able to stop a Fire Dragon.

Hermione, who had never seen Fire Dragon before, was influenced by various legends and stories, and greatly overestimated the Fire Dragon's power. What she didn't know was that compared to the Ten Thousand Snakes, the Fire Dragon was not even a little brother.
