94 Diagon Alley

Chapter 68: Festival

    Finals! said Mrs. Weasley cheerfully. "I must say, it's a good concoction. No more cooking. How was your test? "

    "Oh... ok," Ron said, "I couldn't remember the names of all those renegade goblins, so I made up a few, and that's okay." Ron ate the pancakes said. Mrs. Weasley said with a straight face: "They all call names like Long Beard, Sloppy Lara, and it's not difficult to make up."

    Fred, George, Gwen and Ginny also sat down, and Harry was so happy that he seemed to be back in the Burrow again.

    "Honey," Mrs. Weasley gave Gwen a big hug, "I love your Christmas present so much. Arthur and I drink a pot of tea from it every day. "

    "Thank you for the sweater too, Mrs Weasley." Gwen looked a little embarrassed, her hot face flushed.

    Harry forgot the night's game in the warm and cheerful atmosphere, and when Hermione came halfway through lunch, he remembered that she seemed to have suddenly realized something about Rita Skeeter in the morning .

    "Are you going to tell us—?"

    Hermione shook her head, as if warning him, and glanced at Mrs Weasley.

    "Hello, Hermione." Mrs. Weasley was much stiffer than usual.

    "Hello." Seeing Mrs. Weasley's indifferent face, Hermione's smile was a little embarrassed.

    Harry looked at them both and said, "Mrs Weasley, you wouldn't believe Rita Skeeter's **** article in Wizard Weekly, would you? Because Hermione Not my girlfriend."

    "Oh!" said Mrs. Weasley, "no—of course I don't believe it!"

    But she then became much more enthusiastic about Hermione.

    As the finals approached, Gwen's head began to ache sharply, an unprecedented warning. George had to conjure up a large ice cube and put it on Gwen's forehead wrapped in a handkerchief.

    "We have to find Harry," Gwen shuddered, she took George's hand, and Fred got up to find Harry and his parents who were spending time in the castle.

    After a while he brought Harry and Sirius from the secret passage. At this time, Gwen had adapted to the throbbing inductance between his temples.

    "Harry, I beg you." Gwen ignored the surprise on his face and said straight to the point. "Be careful. I have a very bad premonition, as if a bolt of lightning struck my head." Then she closed her eyes and didn't speak for a long time, and Sirius was so anxious that she just wanted to send the child to the medical wing for a few bottles Potions.

    "Find a way to put on your invisibility cloak, Harry!" Gwen said suddenly, opening his eyes, "must be in the labyrinth!"

    George looked at Gwen worriedly and held her hand tightly. Fred is recalling carefully: "I don't think the rules of the game say that invisibility cloaks are not allowed - it's not a foul."

    "Whether he commits a foul or not," Sirius clapped, "Harry, your safety is the most important, come with me, I will find a way to hide the invisibility cloak on you. Sometimes we Listen to the witch..."

    After they left, Gwen's headache began to ease, "Ah, I feel better now." She lay softly on George's shoulder and refused to get up.

    "It looks like your task today is this—" George said.

    "—yes, use the invisibility cloak." Gwen said firmly, "that's probably what Merlin asked me to bring to Harry."

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    The dinner for the last game was bigger than usual, but Gwen didn't eat much and she was still very nervous. When the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to dark purple twilight, Dumbledore stood up at the staff table, and the crowd fell silent.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite you to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now for the Warriors and Bagman Go to the sports field, sir."

    Harry stood up, the Gryffindor students applauded him, the Weasleys, Hermione and Gwen wished him luck, Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder a little excited. Harry's robes looked perfectly flat, but he didn't seem as nervous as he had been in previous games, and he touched his pockets and winked at the twins and Gwen. Then Harry walked out of the auditorium with Cedric, Fleur, and Viktor.

    They walked into the Quidditch pitch, which had become completely unrecognizable. A twenty-foot high hedge surrounded the edge of the field. There is a gap in front of the warriors, and that is the entrance to this big labyrinth. The passage inside is dark and a little scary.

    Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands. Hundreds of students filed into their seats, and the air was filled with excited voices and footsteps. The sky is now a clear dark blue and the stars are starting to appear. Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick entered the field and walked towards Bagman and the warriors. They all had bright red stars on their hats, except Hagrid, whose red star was on the back of his terry vest.

    George noticed that Sirius was not in the parent's seat, and reminded Gwen to look, "I think he may have been arranged by Dumbledore to stare at the fake Moody."

    At this point Bagman pointed his wand to his throat and said "loud," and his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands. After he announced the official start of the game, top-ranked Harry and Cedric hurried into the maze.

    Gwen squeezed George and Katie's hands tightly and kept complaining: "I can't see anything, this maze can't be seen clearly by the audience."

    In spite of the hustle and bustle of the hundreds of spectators in the stands, the maze is very quiet. The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the trails, in fact, whether it was because the hedges were so high and dense, or because of magic, as soon as the warriors entered the labyrinth, the audience was silent.

    As soon as Harry entered the labyrinth, he and Cedric parted ways. He pulled out his wand and said, "Flickering light." After a while, all the warriors entered the arena. He came to the second fork in the road.

    "Show me the way." Harry whispered to it, resting his wand flat in his palm.

    The wand twirled and designated the dense hedge to his right. It was north, and he knew he had to go northwest to the center of the maze. Your best bet is to take the road on the left and then turn right as quickly as possible.

    Cedric seemed to have just finished dealing with one of Hagrid's beloved giant fried-tailed snails when the maze smelled of something burnt.

    Luckily of misfortune, the first enemy Harry encountered was an old acquaintance—a Dementor, twelve feet tall, hooded his face, rotting and knotted, came slowly toward him Scab's hands stretched out straight. It came closer and closer, touching him by feel. Harry could hear the gurgling gasps in its throat. A cold, slimy feeling hit him, but he knew what to do.

    He tried his best to think of the happiest things, trying to concentrate on imagining walking out of the maze and celebrating with Ron and Hermione, raising his wand and shouting, "Guardian!"

    A silver stag jumped out of Harry's wand and ran towards the Dementors. The Dementor took two steps back, tripping over its robes... Harry had never seen a Dementor stumble before.

    "Don't move!" He followed the silver Patronus. "You're a Boggart! Funny!"

    He successfully broke the first level.

    "Fleur is out!" With a scream in the maze, Hermione immediately discovered that one of Harry's opponents had dropped out of the competition.

    It didn't take long for them to hear a second scream from the maze - which was unusual, because the audience shouldn't have heard such a loud noise from the maze, but The cry was so shrill that Mr. Diggory almost fell from the stands.

    That was Cedric's scream.

    "What's in the maze?" Ginny turned pale.

    "If even Diggory—" Gwen didn't dare to go on, frankly speaking, the strength of this warrior from Hufflepuff was indisputable first. They began to worry about Harry again, lest he bumped into some extremely dangerous magical creature in the labyrinth.

    "Look! Red sparks!" Ron shouted brokenly.

    Minutes later, they unexpectedly discovered that Durmstrang's warriors had been carried out on stretchers by the professors.

    This time Katie let out a long sigh of relief, "I was shocked, I thought it was... Anyway, now it's actually a battle within Hogwarts."

    Gwen and George did not relax, they happened to know some information that others did not. What if Cedric was fighting Krum just now? It's just that, unlike what they had imagined, it was the Quidditch star who lost, not the screaming Hogwarts students.

    "I hope Harry doesn't save Cedric in a foolish way." George said with a complicated expression.

    Ron and Hermione were as complicated as they were, but their silence had told George that it was very likely.

    In the labyrinth, Harry heard Cedric's cry and ran over, just in time to see Krum use piercing at him with a confused look. Harry stuns Krum with a stun spell, and after a long time he realizes that Cedric is his opponent, and the two warriors part ways at a fork in the road.

    Harry continued to walk forward, using the Orientation Charm from time to time to make sure he was in the right direction. His desire for the trophy was stronger than ever, and Harry picked up his pace.

    He found himself always walking into dead ends, but the growing darkness convinced him that he was approaching the center of the maze. Then, as he was walking down a long, straight path, he noticed movement again, and the light of his wand shone on a very strange
