There's no shortage of smart people like Dunn and Hermione in the auditorium.
Glancing at the silent teachers of Beauxbatons on the right side of the teaching staff, many people have come to understand that doing so is purely to take care of Beauxbaton's face.
Allowing lower grades to compete while restricting upper grades, so that Beauxbatons can send students to participate and avoid the embarrassment of withdrawing from the competition.
Of course, Dumbledore will not admit this in public, he explained: "During the Triwizard Tournament, it is not forbidden for contestants to attack each other, although we do not advocate doing so, but our opponents this time will not be against each other. We are welcome.
"Restricting senior students from participating In order to reduce the damage caused by players attacking each other during the game, we encourage everyone to win the game and strive for honor, but we hope that everyone can return from the arena safely.
"Okay, do you have any questions about this matter?"
Many people on the four long tables raised their hands, and Moody was the fastest among them.
Because of the shouting just now, Dumbledore was the first to order Moody.
Moody got up from his seat.
"Professor, can you register for the competition if you meet the age requirements, is there a limit on the number of people? 99
Dumbledore winked at Moody, blue eyes flashing meaningful light.
"Mr. Moody, that's already two questions for you! But I think a lot of people have the same doubts as you, so I want to make a special note.
"First of all, the number of participants in each school cannot exceed 20. Don't be excited. I know you may have opinions on this, but I must tell you frankly that this regulation was proposed by me.
"It's definitely not aimed at you, but I don't want Armstrong to send all the students from first to fourth grade to the competition."
"Based on what I know about opponents, they can definitely do such crazy things. I think everyone definitely doesn't want to face a bunch of oppressive opponents on the field, right?"
"At the same time, it is not necessary to be of the right age to enroll successfully. You must obtain the consent of your parents or guardians before you can be selected. 99
Moody's eyes widened.
He felt that the last rule Dumbledore said was made entirely against him.
It was absolutely impossible for his parents to allow him to participate in such a dangerous game.
Without giving Moody a chance to protest, Dumbledore immediately ordered another student to ask questions.
Tom rose from the long table at Slytherin Academy.
"Professor, are the games played individually or as a team?
"The Triwizard Tournament has always been an individual competition, but the rules do not prohibit contestants from helping each other. Even during the scoring process, your selfless help to other contestants will become your bonus."
Tom glanced at Dunn on the Gryffindor long table opposite, no need for verbal communication, both of them had already made up their minds.
After Tom sat down, Dumbledore answered the two students' questions before declaring that the question was over.
"I believe that everyone is starving now, and I don't want to continue occupying your dinner time. Those who meet the conditions and want to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament can sign up with the deans of their respective colleges.
Dumbledore looked at all the students with a smile, opened his arms, and his thick voice echoed in the auditorium.
"Now I just want to say two words to you, eat! 99
The plates on the long table were instantly filled with various delicacies.
Everyone was enjoying themselves and talking about the Triwizard Tournament with great interest.
Moody heard that many people around him were preparing to sign up, and his interest became lower and lower.
Damn, why do you have to get the dean of the respective academy for registration, instead of getting a magic device specially used for registration, so that at least you can try to see if you can get away with it.
Dunn had a similar idea, and he thought of the Goblet of Fire that later generations used to sign up.
Even if the Triwizard Tournament hadn't started Goblet of Fire registration at this point, it wouldn't be hard to come up with something like that, but Dumbledore didn't.
So that there is no possibility of cheating when people sign up.
It has to be said that Dumbledore was much more cautious when facing Greenwald, his old rival, than Voldemort in later generations.
The Goblet of Fire was actually set up to make it easier for Harry to cheat and sign up. Otherwise, if he wanted to ban students of inappropriate age from participating, he just had to go to the deans of their respective colleges to sign up.
The age of each student is clear at the time of admission, and it is clear at a glance who is eligible and who is not.
After dinner, the students each returned to the common room of the college.
The Beauxbatons students were placed individually in a vacant tower, just in time for the Gryffindor students.
Hermione joined Fleur, Gabriel, and Maxime, apparently discussing the Triwizard Tournament.
Dunn stayed with Moody and Hagrid.
Moody didn't talk much along the way, apparently still depressed about not being able to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
Hagrid is not as depressed as Moody, although it is unlikely that his father agrees with him to enter the competition, but now Hagrid is more concerned about Aragog, who is raised in the Forbidden Forest, and he can't wait to return to the Gryffindor lounge immediately and wait until the dead of night. Sneak into the Forbidden Forest to look after your pets.
On the way, the prefect of Gryffindor found Dunn and arrived with a message from Dumbledore.
The other party asked Dunn to meet at his office.
Dunn left the line and came to the principal's office on a separate tower.
The headmaster's office is guarded by a huge stone beast that requires the correct password to enter.
The Gryffindor prefect who notified Dunn had forgotten about it, but it made no difference to Dunn.
As soon as he had the authority of the founder of the castle, he stood in front of the stone beast, and the other party automatically let (Nuo Zhaohao) to the side, revealing the spiraling staircase inside.
At the top of the building is the door to the principal's office.
It was a very imposing wooden door, and the brass door knocker with the lion's body was particularly conspicuous.
Dunn walked up the steps of the spiral staircase and the door opened automatically.
The principal's office is a large circular room with portraits of past principals hanging on the walls around it, but most people are dozing off at the moment, and even if someone sees Dunn, they just glance at it and ignore it.
A sorting hat is placed on one end of the large desk, and a wooden shelf is placed on the other end, and the Phoenix named Fox is standing on the wooden shelf.
Seeing Dunn walk in, Fox immediately let out a cheer, spread his wings and flew towards Dunn, and finally landed on Dunn's shoulders.
Behind the desk Dumbledore looked up and smiled at Dunn.
"""Fox is rarely so proactive, it shows that he likes you very much!"
