Chapter 890 Scoring and Riots
After Albert successfully subdued the fire dragon and got the golden egg, the first person who rushed into the venue was not the dragon tamer, but a wizard who was very flamboyantly dressed. He looked like a reporter, because next to him He also followed a wizard with a camera.
Albert saw a familiar figure behind the wizard. Mr. Mogg was standing at the entrance of the venue and waving to 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, "Take a photo of us first."
Albert withdrew his hand with disgust on his face, barely maintained a smile on his face, and asked, "Who are you?"
“I almost forgot.” The wizard introduced himself, “My name is Mike Dabo, the general manager of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. Nice to meet you, Mr. Albert Anderson.”
“Hello, Mr. Dabo.”
When Albert saw Mog, he vaguely guessed who the exaggeratedly dressed wizard in front of him was.
“If you want me to cooperate with you in taking photos, let the dragon tamer stun the fire dragon first. I don’t want to turn my back on a dangerous fire dragon.”
"You are right, it is always right to be cautious." Dabo put his arm around Albert's shoulders familiarly and said, "I have just discussed it with the dragon tamers."
Albert felt uncomfortable all over. He used the excuse of saying hello to Mog to break away from Dabo's arm. The guy was not as strong as Albert.
“How about it, I told you, you won’t suffer a loss.” After Mogg said hello to Albert, he smiled and said to Mike Dabo: “You can’t cut corners on your advertising fees.”
“Of course not,” said Mike Dabo cheerfully.
“Time is limited, we’d better take the photos as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble to others.”
“You’re right.” Mike Dabo said hello to the dragon trainers and led Albert over to take pictures.
Observing the Swedish Brachysaurus up close, Albert felt that this guy was more dangerous than expected. It was about 20 feet long and was like a hill. If possible, Albert would never stand at close range. In front of a fire dragon, one would never turn his back on a living fire dragon.
However, there is a group of dragon trainers on standby next to him to ensure that the fire dragon will not suddenly wake up and kill him.
Albert stood in front of the fire dragon, with the fallen Swedish Brachysaurus as the background. There was a male lion lying at his feet, and on his shoulders squatted an eagle that he had used a shrinking spell to shrink. He held a golden egg in his hand, facing forward. The camera showed a confident smile, and the picture was frozen in the camera.
“Perfect, I think girls will go crazy for you.”
Mike Dabo said in a grandiose tone, "I believe this is more effective than advertising at the World Cup."
From Mike Dabo's point of view, Albert is simply a living legend, and he is handsome enough. He has decided to hang the photo he just took in the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
After taking several photos in a row, Albert took the golden egg and followed them towards the outside of the venue, so as not to cause any more trouble to the dragon tamers.
Of course, Mike Dabo also gave the dragon tamers some benefits, allowing them to buy customized fire-proof clothes at a relatively low price in Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
The dragon tamers naturally had no objections. It only lasted a few minutes anyway, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon had already been subdued by Albert.
The referees in the stands were even less concerned. They were gathering together and whispering about Albert's performance just now.
"You did a great job. I think Poppy must be very happy that you don't need to use the medical tent." Professor McGonagall walked towards Albert, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his usually serious face. " Go, your friends must be waiting impatiently."
Albert looked past Professor McGonagall and saw Isobel and Katrina coming this way.
"Very handsome."
Isobel quickly walked up to Albert, opened her arms and hugged him.
The dragon egg slipped from Albert's fingertips and fell to the ground. He put his arms around Isobel and kissed her lips.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Fred, George and Lee Jordan hurried over and whistled, and several other girls chuckled unnaturally.
The cameraman next to Mike Dabo wanted to take a picture of this scene, but Mogg raised his hand to stop him. He shook his head at Mike Dabo, indicating that he should not do that. With Albert's character, if Mike ·If Dabo dares to randomly take his private photos as a collaborator, the two parties will have no chance to talk, and the fragile cooperative relationship will definitely collapse.
Do you really think Albert is just a child?
Look at the unlucky Rita Skeeter, why she doesn't even dare to make trouble with Albert's news. She is a woman who gives the British Ministry of Magic a huge headache.
I don’t know how long it took before the two separated again. A blush appeared on Isobel’s face. She whispered: “Don’t do such risky things in the future. You really shocked me just now.”
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about." Albert comforted softly.
"Of course I have confidence in you, but I'm still worried." Isobel knew Albert's character very well, and also knew that Albert paid great attention to protecting himself, but having confidence and not being worried are two different things.
“Sure enough, you are the best one.”
“You easily subdued a fire dragon by yourself. You probably don’t know it yet, but the girls in the stands are all crazy about you.”
“I dare say this is something that people will be talking about for years to come.”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all came up to greet Albert after he separated from Isobel, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm, and even handed him back the golden egg that fell on the ground.
“Okay, look, I’m almost blushing from your compliments.” Albert joked with a smile.
“I think they are about to give you a score. I dare say they will give you full marks.”
Sanna, Angelina and Aaliya also came over. If Isobel hadn't been here, they would have definitely gone up to give Albert a sweet kiss.
“Let’s go back to the stands!”
Albert took the golden egg from George and led Isobel towards the stands, leaving behind a large group of envious girls.
Katrina looked at the two people’s leaving figures with an expressionless face, and followed them towards the stands.
Albert subdued the fire dragon, and it didn't take much time for the dragon tamer to get it away.
The referees have also discussed the results, and when Albert went to the stands, the scoring had already begun.
The first judge to score the warriors was Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. She raised her wand, and a silver ribbon erupted from the tip of the wand, twisting in mid-air to form a big "10".
There is no other way. Guy's series of scandalous moves in the Magic School Potions Championship last time cast a dark cloud over Beauxbatons, and the reputation of Beauxbatons School suddenly deteriorated a lot.
So, Madame Maxime decided to be more generous. At least no one would say that Beauxbatons had fairness issues in the competition.
As for Guy’s matter, it is a private matter and the school has no knowledge of it.
Mrs. Maxime had no idea about this?
Of course not, but just make a good excuse and make everyone look good.
Whether it was Crouch, Dumbledore, or Bagman all gave Albert ten points.
Then, only Karkaroff remains unrated.
He gave Albert 1 point under the watchful eyes of several referees.
Yes, 1 point.
As for the reason, Karkaroff has thought about it.
Albert's fire dragon suit obviously violated the fairness of the game and was very unfair to other warriors.
After the big "1" appeared, the atmosphere in the venue couldn't help but stagnate. Even the surrounding referees looked at Karkarov with strange eyes.
Bagman looked at the "1", his face fell down, and he opened his mouth. Before he could say anything, he heard loud boos from the stands around him, followed by a lot of swearing. : Words such as shit-eating, shameless, and shameless resounded throughout the audience.
Karkarov was just about to say why he scored 1 point, but was interrupted by several flying boots.
I don’t know who took the lead in throwing things at the referee’s bench. More and more students threw garbage, dung bombs, and various other things at Karkaroff. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Even the Durmstrang students in the audience raised their hands to cover their faces, not knowing what to say.
Karkaroff's behavior makes them ashamed.
Even students from other schools admired Albert for subduing a fire dragon single-handedly, and the whole process only took a few minutes.
Even if Karkaroff is thrown onto the field, he cannot achieve this level.
"Oh, my God." Bagman glanced at Karkaroff with dissatisfaction and said slyly, "The audience is obviously very angry at the unfair scoring."
Mrs. Maxim looked at Karkaroff with the same complex expression. She actually guessed that Karkaroff would lower Albert's score.
In fact, this is a tacit understanding among everyone, to keep the scores of other warriors as low as possible, but this kind of thing also has a scoring situation, everyone gave ten points, what do you mean by giving 1 point?
If it were just an ordinary warrior, Karkaroff's doing this would actually not be a big deal. After all, it doesn't matter if the score is low. At most, it will cause dissatisfaction among Warriors supporters. Just find a reason to deal with it. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, what will happen?
But Mr. Anderson is obviously an exception. Have you really not noticed how popular he is?
Mrs. Maxim wondered if there was something wrong with Karkaroff's mind. He really couldn't understand the situation. Why would he make his reputation worse?
However, no one went out of his way to correct him, and Karkaroff probably wouldn't listen to it anyway.
Actually, it’s not that Karkaroff couldn’t listen, but that he didn’t expect that he would kick the steel plate, let alone that Albert had a large support group.
Fans have never been a rational group, especially a group of girls. They will not listen to Karkaroff's reasons, especially when other judges give full marks. The girls will not allow their warriors to suffer such injustice. Treat fairly. So, under the leadership of someone, they started throwing things in protest.
With the girls taking the lead in the protest, others also joined in. They didn't care what the other referees were feeling. Anyway, Karkaroff's slutty moves annoyed most of the students in Hogwarts. They thought Albert should Get full marks.
In fact, Albert should have received full marks for subduing the fire dragon as quickly as possible and clearing the first event without any injuries.
“Oh, my God, my God!” Bagman shouted at the top of his lungs with a loud voice, “Please stay calm and let us hear the reason why Mr. Karkaroff scored like this!”
Bagman's proposal was obviously ill-intentioned.
Karkaroff's face was particularly gloomy and he said loudly: "The fire dragon suit Mr. Albert is wearing obviously violates the principle of fairness in the game and is very unfair to other warriors."
“That’s **** fairness, you are the last person to say this.”
I don’t know who shouted, but a curse flew towards the referee’s seat.
Everyone couldn't help but froze. They raised their wands and threw curses at Karkaroff on the referee's bench.
This guy really disgusted them.
Bagman was startled by the crazy behavior of the students. If he were hit by such a large number of curses, he would probably be carried directly to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.
Fortunately, Dumbledore waved his wand in time and deployed defensive magic to protect the referee's bench, otherwise the referee's bench would most likely be blown away by this wave of curses.
The scene of a large number of curses exploding outside the barrier was so spectacular that even Dumbledore's barrier exploded with a lot of cracks.
If it happens again, I probably won’t be able to hold on anymore.
"Well, there has never been such a riot even in the Quidditch World Cup. How should we clean up the mess now?" Bagman glanced at the livid Karkaroff and spread his hands towards Dumbledore to express his feelings. Nothing can be done.
“Quiet, quiet!”
Dumbledore roared angrily, and he did not expect that the situation was directly out of control. The students at Hogwarts not only threw things at the referee's bench, but in the end they actually threw curses directly. At least hundreds of people did that just now.
The main reason is that there are too many supporters of Albert. After Fred, George and Lee Jordan secretly took the lead in throwing magic at Karkaroff, the girls were also led to heckle and vent their dissatisfaction. Others who were dissatisfied with Karkaroff took him along.
After all, it used to be annoying for the Slytherin Quidditch team to do whatever it takes to win in the competition. Now in the competition between schools, there are still people who dare to do this blatantly and find such an excuse. Do you think they are fools?
However, Dumbledore's roar was not effective, and a second wave of curses followed, blowing up the referee's bench.
As for the other judges, Dumbledore used Apparition to take them away.
“Did that scene just be filmed?”
Rita Skeeter was shaking with excitement, "I dare say this has never happened before. The referee of the Triwizard Tournament has been questioned and boycotted by all students. This will definitely become the hottest topic."
