Chapter 889: Scoring and riots
Chapter 889: Scoring and riots
After Albert successfully subdued the fire dragon and got the golden egg, the first person to rush into the field was not the dragon trainer, but a wizard dressed in flamboyant outfits. He looked like a reporter because he was next to him. Followed by the famous wizard holding a camera.
Albert saw a familiar figure behind the wizard, and Mr. Mogg was standing at the entrance of the venue waving at him.
"Please stand in front of the fire dragon and let me take a close-up of you."
The wizard grabbed Albert's hand and said hello to the photographer next to him, "First take a picture of us."
Albert withdrew his hand in disgust, barely maintaining a smile on his face, and asked, "You are?"
"Almost forgot." The wizard introduced himself. "My name is Mike Darbo, the general manager of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. I am glad to meet you, Mr. Albert Anderson."
"Hello, Mr. Dabo."
When Albert saw Mogg, he vaguely guessed who the wizard in front of him was.
"If you want me to take pictures with you, let the dragon trainer stun the fire dragon first. I don't want to face a dangerous fire dragon with my back."
"You're right. It's always right to be cautious." Dabo stretched out his arm around Albert's shoulder very familiarly and said, "I have discussed with the dragon trainers just now."
Albert felt uncomfortable all over. He used to say hello to Mogg, and he shook off Dabo's arm directly. That guy was not as strong as Albert.
"Well, I said, you won't suffer." After Mogg greeted Albert, he smiled and said to Mike Dabo: "You can't cut corners on advertising."
"Naturally not." Mike Dabo said happily.
"Time is limited, we'd better finish the photo as soon as possible, and don't bother other people."
"You're right." Mike Dabo greeted the dragon trainers and led Albert to take pictures.
Observing the Swedish short-nosed dragon up close, Albert felt that this guy was more dangerous than expected. It was about 20 feet in length, and it was almost like a hill. If possible, Albert would never stand up close. In front of the fire dragon, he would not turn his back to a living fire dragon.
However, a group of dragon trainers were standing by to ensure that the fire dragon would not suddenly wake up and kill him.
Albert stood in front of the fire dragon, with the fallen Swedish short-nosed dragon as the background, a male lion lying on his feet, an eagle on his shoulders that was reduced by the reduction spell, holding a golden egg in his hand, facing forward The lens showed a confident smile, and the picture was frozen in the camera.
"It's perfect, I think the girls will be crazy for you."
Mike Dabo said in a grandiose tone, "I believe this is more useful than advertising at the World Cup."
In Mike Dabo's view, Albert is simply a living legend, and handsome enough, he has decided to hang the photos he just took in the Fengya wizard clothing store.
After taking a few photos in a row, Albert took the golden egg and walked out of the field with them, no longer causing trouble to the dragon trainers.
Of course, Mike Dabo also gave the dragon trainers some benefits, allowing them to buy customized fireproof clothes at a relatively low price in the Fengya brand wizard clothing store.
The dragon trainers naturally didn't have any comments, anyway, it was only a few minutes, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon was subdued by Albert.
The judges in the stands didn't even care. They were getting together, whispering to discuss Albert's performance just now.
"You did a great job. I think Poppi must be very pleased that you don't need a medical tent." Professor McGonagall walked towards Albert, with an unconcealable smile on his previously serious face." Go, your friends must be anxious."
Albert looked over Professor McGonagall and saw Isobel and Katrina approaching here.
"Very handsome."
Isobel walked quickly to Albert and embraced him with open arms.
The dragon egg slipped from the tip of Albert's finger and fell to the ground. He reached out and put his arm around Isabel and kissed her on the lips.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Fred, George and Lee Jordan who rushed over whistled, and the other girls chuckled unnaturally.
The cameraman next to Mike Dabo wanted to take this scene, but Mogg raised his hand to stop him. He shook his head at Mike Dabo and signaled him not to do that. In Albert’s character, if Mike Dabo dared to take his private photos as a collaborator, and the two parties would not have to talk, and the fragile cooperative relationship would definitely collapse.
Do you really think Albert is just a child?
Look at the hapless Rita Skeeter, why didn't she even dare to mess with Albert's news? That is the woman who caused the British Ministry of Magic to have a headache.
I don’t know how long it took, and the two separated again. A blush appeared on Isabel’s face. She whispered, “Don’t do such adventurous things in the future. You really shocked me just now.”
"Don't worry, I never do things that are uncertain." Albert softly soothed.
"Of course I have confidence in you, but I am still very worried." Isabel knows Albert's character well and also knows that Albert attaches great importance to protecting himself, but being confident and not worrying are two different things.
"Sure enough you are the best one."
"You can easily subdue a fire dragon by yourself. You probably don't know that the girls in the stands are crazy for you."
"I dare say that this matter can be discussed for many years."
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan stepped forward to greet him after Albert and Isobel separated. Their faces were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and they handed him back the golden egg that fell on the ground.
"Well, you see, I'm almost blushing by your praise." Albert joked with a smile.
"I think they should give you points, I dare say they will give you full marks."
Shanna, Angelina, and Alia also walked over. If Isobel were not here, they would definitely go up and give Albert a sweet kiss.
"Let's go back to the stands!"
Albert took the golden egg from George and led Isabel toward the stands, leaving behind a large group of envied girls.
Katrina stared blankly at the back of the two who had left, and followed them towards the stands.
Albert subdued the fire dragon, and it didn't take much time for the dragon trainer to take it away.
The referees have also discussed the results, and when Albert went to the stands, the scoring had already begun.
The first referee to rate the Warriors was Mrs. Maxim of Boothbarton. She raised her wand and sprayed a silver ribbon from the tip of the wand, twisting it in the air to form a big "10".
Mrs. Maxim actually knew Albert’s strength a long time ago, and she was lucky, but within a few minutes of seeing Albert, she undertook a fire dragon, and she chose to give up the unnecessary struggle and lay flat. Directly gave Albert a full mark.
No way, the last time Guy's series of screaming operations at the Magic School Potions Championship cast a cloud over Boothbatten, and the reputation of Boothbatten School suddenly deteriorated a lot.
Therefore, Mrs. Maxim decided to be big, at least no one would say that Boothbatten had fairness issues in the game.
As for Guy’s matter, it was a personal matter, and the school had no idea about it.
Mrs. Maxim had no idea about this?
Of course not, but just find a good excuse to let everyone's face go well.
Whether it was Crouch, Dumbledore, or Bagman, all gave Albert 10 points.
Then, only Karkaroff was left ungraded.
He gave Albert 1 point under the watchful eyes of several referees.
Yes, 1 point.
As for the reason, Karkaroff had thought about it.
Albert's fire dragon suit obviously violated the fairness of the game and was very unfair to the other Warriors.
After the big "1" appeared, the atmosphere of the venue couldn't help but stagnated, and even the surrounding referees looked at Karkaroff with weird eyes.
Bagman looked at the "1", his face collapsed, and he opened his mouth. Before he could say anything, he heard a loud hiss from the surrounding stands, followed by a burst of cursing. : Words such as shit, shameless, shameless, etc. resounded through the audience.
Just as Karkaroff wanted to say why he scored a point, he was interrupted by a few flying boots.
I don't know who is taking the lead in throwing things at the referee's bench. More and more students are throwing garbage, dung bombs, and various things at Karkaroff. The scene is extremely chaotic.
Even the Durmstrang students in the audience could not help but raise their hands to cover their faces, not knowing what to say.
Karkaroff's behavior made them feel ashamed.
Even students in other schools admire Albert single-handedly subduing a fire dragon, and the whole process only took a few minutes.
Even if he throws Karkaroff on the field, he can't do that.
"Oh, my goodness." Bagman gave Karkaroff a very dissatisfied look, and said grotesquely. "The audience is obviously irritated by the unfair ratings."
Mrs. Maxim looked at Karkaroff with the same complex expression. She actually guessed that Karkaroff would lower Albert's score.
In fact, this is the tacit understanding of everyone to lower the scores of other Warriors as much as possible, but this kind of thing also scores, everyone gave 10 points, what do you mean by 1 point?
If it's just an ordinary warrior, Karkaroff's doing this is actually not a big deal. After all, it’s okay to have a low score. At best, it can cause dissatisfaction among Warriors supporters. Just find a reason to prevaricate. What if everyone is dissatisfied?
However, this Mr. Anderson is obviously an exception. Have you really noticed how popular he is?
Mrs. Maxim doubted whether there was a problem with Karkaroff's mind, and she really couldn't understand the situation. Why should she make her reputation worse?
However, no one deliberately corrected him, and Karkaroff probably wouldn't listen to it anyway.
In fact, it's not that Karkaroff didn't listen, but he didn't expect that he would kick the steel plate at all, and he didn't expect Albert to have a large group of support teams.
Fans have never been considered a rational group, especially a group of girls. They don’t listen to Karkaroff’s reasons, especially when other referees give full marks. Treat fairly. So, under the lead of someone, he started throwing things in protest.
With the girls taking the lead in protest, others joined in. Regardless of the mood of the other referees, most of the students at Hogwarts were annoyed by Karkaroff’s harassment. They thought Albert should Get full marks.
In fact, Albert was the fastest to subdue the Fire Dragon and pass the first event unscathed to get a perfect score.
"Oh, my goodness, my goodness!" Bagman shouted in a loud voice, "Please keep calm, let us listen to the reason why Mr. Karkaroff scored like this!"
Bagman's proposal is obviously unkind.
Karkaroff's face was particularly gloomy, and he said loudly: "The fire dragon suit on Mr. Albert obviously violates the fairness principle of the game and is very unfair to other warriors."
"It's fair to shit, you are the least qualified to say that."
I don't know who yelled it, and saw a curse flying towards the referee's bench.
Everyone couldn't help but stopped, raising their wands one after another, throwing curses at Karkaroff on the referee's bench.
This guy really disgusted them.
Bagman was taken aback by the crazy behavior of the students. If he were hit by such a large number of curses, 80% of them would be taken directly to the St. Mungo Hospital for Magical Injuries.
Fortunately, Dumbledore waved his wand in time and started defensive magic to protect the referee's bench. Otherwise, 80% of the referee's bench would be blown away by this wave of curses.
The scene where a large number of evil curses exploded outside the barrier was so spectacular that even the barrier opened by Dumbledore exploded a lot of cracks.
If there is another wave, it is estimated that it will really not be able to hold it.
"Well, even the Quidditch World Cup has never had such a riot. How should we clean up the mess now?" Bagman cast a glance at Karkaroff, who was sullen, and spread his hands toward Dumbledore to express himself. Powerless.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Dumbledore roared angrily, he didn't expect the situation to get out of control. The Hogwarts students not only threw things on the referee's bench, but in the end they threw the curse directly. At least a hundred people did that just now.
The main reason is that Albert’s supporters are too many. After Fred, George and Lee Jordan secretly took the lead in throwing magic at Karkaroff, the girls were also booed and vented their dissatisfaction. Other people who saw Karkaroff's dissatisfaction were brought together.
After all, in the past, the Slytherin Quidditch team was unscrupulous enough to win in the game. Now in the game between schools, there are people who dare to do it blatantly, and they have found such an excuse. This Are you treating them as fools?
However, Dumbledore's roar was not good, and the second wave of evil spells followed, which directly blew the referee's bench into the air.
As for the other referees, they were taken away by Dumbledore using Apparition.
"Has that scene been filmed just now?"
Rita Skeeter shivered with excitement. "I dare say that this has never happened before. The referees of the Triwizard Tournament are questioned and resisted by all the students. This will definitely become the hottest topic."
