A Nexus Devil (Dxd x Multi Crossover)

Goblet of Fire

Chapter 4

Jake decided to explore the castle based on Albus' advice.

While he was exploring, Jake came across a bunch of students gathered in a crowded hallway. They were cheering as some students approached a fiery goblet. Curious about what was going on, he approached a fellow Hogwarts student who seemed to be from Ravenclaw, based on his robes. Jake thought the student, being a bit of a nerd, would know what was happening.

"Hey, fellow Hogwarts student," Jake greeted the Ravenclaw boy. "I'm Jake. What's everyone gathering around for, and what's up with that big cup on fire?"

The Ravenclaw student gave Jake a weird look, like he hadn't seen him at the school before. But he still responded, "Hey, I'm Ryan, a sixth-year Ravenclaw. Haven't seen you before. Did you miss the opening feast this year?"

Jake laughed and replied, "Actually, I just transferred here today. It's a long story involving teleportation magic. I won't bore you with the details."

"Okay, sure," Ryan said, still a bit confused. "Well, if you're new, let me tell you. We're having the Triwizard Tournament. That cup over there is how you enter. You write your name on a piece of paper and put it in."

"A tournament? Sounds cool," Jake said. "So, what's it all about? Is there a prize or something? Like, do you win anything special?"

Ryan got excited and said, "Yeah, man! The best student from each school gets chosen to compete. We don't know the challenges yet, but they're supposed to be really epic. And you know what? The winner gets a thousand Galleons!"

"A thousand Galleons? What's that?" Jake asked, not knowing the currency.

"Oh, right," Ryan interrupted. "I can tell you're from America by your accent. They don't use Galleons there, right? They use something like dollars, I think?"

"Yeah, dollars," Jake confirmed. "So, Galleons are money?"

"Yep, they are!" Ryan exclaimed. "And a thousand Galleons is like 10,000 British pounds."

Jake couldn't believe the huge prize for the tournament. What kind of rich school was this!? He didn't want to leave if they were giving away that much money. Being broke his whole life as an orphan, he had to enter the tournament. That amount of cash was mind-blowing!

Ryan nodded and said, "That's all you have to do. Oh, by the way, you have to be 17 to enter... Oh, he's gone already. Well, he'll be fine, I'm sure."

Jake searched his pockets and found an old receipt that would work as paper. He borrowed a quill from another student and wondered why they still used quills instead of pens. "Whatever, wizards," he muttered to himself. Jake confidently walked up to the Goblet of Fire, put his crumpled receipt with his name into the fire. The students around him clapped and cheered. Some of them were confused because they didn't know him, even though he was wearing Hogwarts robes. But he didn't care about that.

Jake was thrilled and hoped he would be chosen for the tournament. That money would be a game-changer for him! He asked another student when they would find out who got picked. They said it would be announced at dinner later that night. Jake decided he had explored enough for now and went to the library to learn some quick spells. He couldn't believe he hadn't learned any magic yet, even after spending the whole day at a magic school. That had to change!

Entering the library, Jake was amazed by the huge collection of books. The titles promised knowledge and power. He was determined to make the most of his time and learn some spells. He quickly grabbed a few beginner's spell books and sat down at a nearby table.

As evening approached, Jake reluctantly closed his books, satisfied with his progress. He made sure to return them to their proper places and headed to the Great Hall for dinner, filled with anticipation.
