Chapter 696: Can I Touch Your Trophy?

After a few words of praise from Krum, Bagman beckoned the Warriors to the podium.

Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Maxim were already waiting, with Fudge taking Crouch's place as the fifth referee of the match.

After the Warriors stood up, several referees discussed in a low voice, and considering the face problems of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, they finally unanimously decided to skip the scoring part and announce the results directly.

Maxim and Karkarov's ugly faces softened a little.

"Let's reveal the final results of the Warriors!" After the discussion, Bagman cleared his throat and walked to the front of the stage, shouting loudly.

"First place, the eventual winner of the Triwizard Tournament, the Hogwarts Warrior - Mr. Ivan Hals!"

"Let's cheer for him!"

After Bagman's words fell, thunderous applause broke out in the arena, and many young wizards stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.

"Great, I knew Hals was going to win!"

"See? That's our Gryffindor warriors! ”

……

In the enthusiastic cheers and shouts, the corners of Ivan's mouth were slightly hooked, and his right hand held the trophy high to signal to the surroundings, and he was in a very happy mood.

This is not only because of the championship, but more importantly, the previous system task has finally been completed.

[Mission: Winning the Goblet of Fire (Completed)

Objective: Participate in the Triwizard Tournament and win the championship!

Reward: Legend value x3

Mission Description: With your careful planning, this tournament hosted by three of Europe's three major magic schools has become your personal showcase, and your outstanding performances and legendary deeds will go down in history with this special competition! 】

Looking at the task information displayed in the system panel, Ivan faintly felt a little awkward, but he couldn't say that there was something wrong, and after thinking about it, he found that the task description was too normal, but it made him a little uncomfortable.

While Ivan was distracted, Bagman on the stage continued to read out the results of the game.

The second place place rightfully belonged to Harry, and compared to the other contestants, he walked around the maze and subdued the fried tail snail and a few giant spiders, which was also a good performance.

Beauxbatons' Warrior Fleur was close behind in third place.

As for Krum...... Naturally, it can only be at the bottom and last.

When Bagman loudly announced the result, Karkaroff's face turned ugly and terrifying, and Durmstrang's little wizards glared at Krum, believing that he had disgraced Durmstrang.

Fleur's situation is slightly better, with Krum's background, she is not to be complained about by the students of the same school, but some of the girls in Beauxbatons still have a lot of complaints about her in private, after all, Fleur's performance in the last two events is really bad.

In the midst of the celebration, Fudge, who is the Minister of Magic, also has a little more smile on his face, the victory or defeat of the Goblet of Fire is not only a matter of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but also about his achievements as the Minister of Magic and the face of the wizarding community in England!

So after Ivan finished reading the acceptance speech, which lasted for several minutes, Fudge personally stepped forward as the presenter and presented Ivan with the prize of the competition - a whole thousand gold Galleons, all of which were packed in a bag, and Ivan felt heavy when he held it in his hand.

"Finally, allow me to say one more thing!"

Dumbledore stood up abruptly after the closing ceremony, his voice echoing through the arena, even drowning out the noise of the young wizards.

For a moment, there was a brief silence all around, and the young wizards all looked at Dumbledore on the judges' stand.

Under everyone's attention, Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a purple beam of light shot up into the sky, exploding a moment later.

Colourful flags and flower petals fall from the sky, covering the entire Quidditch pitch......

"I can acquiesce to you breaking some of the lesser-than-important school rules tonight, celebrate, that's all I have to say......" Dumbledore said with a smile.

George and Fred immediately jumped for joy, which meant that they could move out their usual inventory.

The other little wizards also ran down from the stands and rushed towards the podium, surrounding the warriors in the middle.

"Ivan, you're amazing, you've defeated so many monsters in the maze at once......" Seamus squeezed in front of Ivan, excitedly talking about the shocking scene he had seen in the crystal ball before.

Then Seamus turned his gaze to the golden trophy in Ivan's hand, his cheeks flushed, and he asked with some embarrassment. "Can I touch your trophy, Ivan?"

"Of course no problem!" Ivan generously handed over the trophy.

Seamus took it with trembling hands, as if he was holding some treasure, and he was very happy.

It's just that before he could hold it firmly, the trophy in his hand was snatched by George and Fred, and they also wanted to touch Ivan's trophy and be tainted with joy!

Watching this scene, Ivan shook his head amusedly, talked to Aisya on his own, and let George take the trophy to play, it was not worth much anyway.

He had already identified it, and the trophy was gorgeous and shiny on the outside, but it wasn't really made of gold......

The degree of the Ministry of Magic's slamming of the door can be seen.

"You shouldn't have approved of them breaking the school rules, Albus......" McGonagall said helplessly as she looked at the noisy crowd below in the stands.

I don't know who threw a few fireworks in the field, and for a moment brilliant sparks flew everywhere, causing a lot of commotion, and McGonagall was very worried that someone would be injured in such a push.

"But it's a day to celebrate, isn't it? Minerva? There's nothing wrong with relaxing properly......" Dumbledore replied.

McGonagall shook her head, and stopped arguing, but got straight to business. "When are we going to go to that village?"

"Now, of course, Voldemort could act at any time...... If they delay any longer, they will probably not be in a hurry. Dumbledore said meaningfully.

"But what about Hogwarts if we're all gone?" McGonagall hesitated.

"Sirius will be by Harry's side tonight, and Severus and Flitwick will be on hand to keep the students safe." Dumbledore explained.

"In addition, the Aurors brought by Fudge will stay here to keep watch until they have cleared the labyrinth and transported all the dangerous magical creatures away, and if anything happens, they will never sit idly by and watch the students be harmed......
