Hogwarts Homecoming

More than an hour later, when Harry and Ron from Gryffindor House, Qiu Chang from Ravenclaw House, and Fleur's sister Gabrielle were brought into the great hall, a dark green halo filled the sky. The world is gradually waking up to the crisp sound of birdsong.

Harry was still dozing when he came down the steps of the foyer, but when he saw these people gathered in the auditorium, including the Headmaster of Durmstrang, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine, he shuddered. Finally, the fatigue quickly dissipated from his mind, and Ron beside him shrank his neck and his eyes widened.

"What do you think happened?"

Ron asked in a low voice, but Professor McGonagall, who was in a bad mood, immediately looked back at him and successfully made the two boys behave.

"I brought them, Albus, Amosta."

After arriving at the usual seat at the staff table, Professor McGonagall dodged and pushed Harry and Ron out, but judging from the faces of these two people who were about to be in trouble, they probably thought they had caused a big disaster.

"To avoid repeated explanations, please wait a moment--"

Harry heard Professor Blaine smiling at them, and Professor Dumbledore beside him also smiled at him, with a hint of encouragement in his smile.

It doesn't seem like a bad situation. Harry thought to himself, he looked around secretly, and was surprised to find that Qiu Zhang was here too. She was holding one arm with the other hanging naturally, standing weakly in the shadow of a pillar, in the dim auditorium. , so that Harry didn't notice her immediately.

Qiu Zhang didn't seem to know what was going on. There was confusion and fear in her eyes. When she found Harry looking at her, she moved her steps, as if she wanted to get closer to Harry for some comfort, but in the end , this thought was stopped by reason, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she moved her face away.

Harry pursed his lips, feeling uninterested.

About ten minutes later, three black figures appeared in the foyer. Although their faces were blurry, Harry and Ron both recognized at a glance that one of them was the principal of Beauxbatons. In Hogwarts, he could Her only rival was Hagrid, but Hagrid was stronger.

The little girl is Gabrielle Fleur Delacour, and the other middle-aged man is Ludo Bagman, the Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports in the Ministry of Magic, a retired Quidditch star.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, vaguely aware of something.

"In this way, everyone is here--"

Amosta clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the frightened little ones to himself.

"Now, let me give you some explanations."

Qiu Zhang walked over from the pillar. Harry and Ron also cheered up, but Gabrielle, who was hugged by Madam Maxime's shoulders, was still hazy. She blinked her sleepy eyes and still had a mouthful of food in her mouth. With a few strands of hair.

"I think everyone knows that today is the day when the second round of the Triwizard Tournament is held--"

Amosta said gently,

"And the content of the second game is under the Black Lake."

I glanced at the few little guys and found that no one looked shocked. This was normal. As the most important person among the warriors, it was reasonable to know this in advance.

"--The warriors need to go down to the Black Lake and retrieve their most important treasure within an hour, and you are the treasures that the warriors need to find."

Wow--

A gust of cool wind hit, and the ancient chandelier above the auditorium creaked. The harsh sound added a bit of terror to the dark auditorium at the moment.

None of the people who were called were in a daze, and Ron's eyes widened with fear.

"Of course, you don't have to worry about your survival underwater. Professor Dumbledore and I will ensure your safety underwater. So, are there any other questions, everyone?"

Amosta asked with a smile.

There was silence, and the few people who were called were still in shock. The youngest Gabrielle clenched Madam Maxime's hand, her weak body trembling slightly. Seeing this, Madam Maxime also felt slightly guilty and squatted down. He came down and comforted Gabrielle softly.

Ron asked in a high-pitched voice until Amosta repeated it again if there was a question,

"After an hour, all hope will be gone?!"

"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Weasley--"

Amosta said,

"I say this just to make the warriors nervous and to have the courage to face the challenge. You yourself will not suffer misfortune."

This statement made Ron's pale face soften a little, and Harry's eyes wandered around. There was no doubt that Qiu Zhang appeared here because of Cedric, and Gabri was definitely related to Fleur, but he and Ron were both alone. One of them was picked by Krum? !

Harry suddenly felt a little shuddered, and he quickly asked his question.

"Oh, that's not the case, Mr. Potter—"

Ludo smiled and said,

"After full discussion, we believe that the most important person in Viktor is Professor Karkaroff. As for you and Mr. Weasley, you were both elected as the most important person in Miss Granger."

Silence fell again, and both Harry and Ron opened their mouths in confusion. It was so bad that for a moment, they didn't know how to spit it out.

They are the most important people to Hermione. Harry doesn't think there is any problem with this, but does this mean that Hermione needs to be in the game. Harry is keenly aware of this and opens his mouth to ask, But Professor Brain took the lead and said with a smile,

"I customized a few sets of competition uniforms that are the same as those of the warriors. This can provide you with some protection. Just to prevent any accidents from happening during the competition, oh."

Amosta recalled, he looked at Karkaroff with an apology in his tone,

"Sorry, Professor Karkaroff, those competition uniforms are prepared for little wizards. I'm afraid they don't have the right size for you."

The corner of Karkaroff's mouth twitched. He did not respond to Amosta's apology. Instead, he looked at Dumbledore and spoke in a low voice.

"When do we start, Dumbledore?"

"If you will, Professor Karkaroff,"

Dumbledore bowed politely and said, "I can cast a spell for you now."

Being able to stay alive underwater while in a coma is not a simple magic, but it is not difficult for a great magician like Dumbledore. Harry saw Professor Dumbledore's sleeves slipping. The undressed wand pointed at Karkaroff, and then the wizard, who was also the principal of the magic school, passed out quietly and lay flat on his back, floating in the air.

A layer of bubbles enveloped Karkaroff and quickly shrank until it merged with his pale skin.

Harry was lost in thought, and Professor Blaine spoke again,

"Everyone, please come with me. The clothes I prepared for you are in the room. There is a dressing room there. After you change your clothes, I will cast a spell for you."

With that said, Amosta led the way towards the small room at the back of the auditorium.

"Go ahead, Potter, Weasley."

Professor McGonagall, who had been sullen all the time, finally pursed her lips at Harry and Ron.

Harry wanted to discuss the current situation and Hermione's unfavorable situation with Ron, but Professor McGonagall came over and pushed him twice, and the two had to jog over. When they entered the room, haha Li glanced back, Qiu Zhang came over timidly, and Gabrielle finally, with the encouragement of Mrs. Maxim, turned back three times step by step, and walked slowly into the room.
