LRAB Chapter 195 The Third Trial Begins
Chapter 195 The Third Trial Begins
The day of the third trial soon arrived.
Early that morning, family members of the fighters began showing up on campus for visits.
The Weasleys were all there, representing Harry's family.
This left Draco with no chance to talk to Harry all day.
I was secretly anxious, and had originally hoped to send my blessings in person before the game started.
When Cedric introduced the shy Zhang Qiu to the Diggory couple, and the four of them got along well,
Draco felt even more aggrieved.
Secretly annoyed at the Weasleys' excessive hospitality,
He was even more angry at Sirius's stupidity all those years ago.
If he had not been framed and misunderstood, and had become a fugitive,
The family member that Harry is with now would probably be Sirius.
This means that he can use the excuse of wanting to talk to the elders of his mother's family and join the two openly.
Looking around the campus, I saw a big black dog wagging its tail with a hint of anticipation and dejection.
Looking at Harry from a distance, my heart suddenly softened and I didn't hold such a grudge anymore.
Fortunately, Harry's eyes always looked at him from time to time.
Daphne and Pansy were also there with him the whole time.
The Weasley brothers were trying to outdo each other in their badges with Hannah's.
They made a badge that said "We support Harry!" and when you press it, it will make a lion roar.
This makes the campus very noisy all day long.
Around the afternoon, another disturbance arose in the noisy castle.
"Miss Malfoy! Miss Parkinson and Miss Greengrass!"
Minister of Magic Fudge came to the school in person and replaced Mr. Crouch as the fifth judge.
Draco's mind was clouded by the thought of Mr. Crouch.
But he still greeted Fudge elegantly.
It was a chaotic and festive journey, with all kinds of noises arriving in the evening.
The crowd gathered back in the Great Hall and watched Dumbledore stand up and clear his throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen,"
"In five minutes, I will ask everyone to leave for the Quidditch pitch."
"To watch the final task of the Triwizard Tournament."
The thunderous cheers, cheers and screams woke up the flocks of birds roosting on the treetops all over the campus.
Dumbledore raised his hand, signaling for silence for a moment.
"Now, fighters, please follow Mr. Bagman to the sports field."
Ludo Bagman took over the conversation and kept shouting "Follow me, fighters!"
Amid the crowd's gaze, his eyes met Harry's.
Seeing his determined look as he tried to come towards her regardless of everything.
It seems that he is determined, even if he is discovered by everyone and becomes a topic of conversation,
Also say a few words to yourself before the final begins.
Draco felt warm inside, shook his head at Harry and smiled.
Silently asking him to follow Bagman and carry out his mission well.
Then, as he watched, he raised two fingers.
Press tightly against your lips and then gently place it on your left chest.
Harry smiled too, his right hand pressed tightly against his heart, his eyes soft.
Despite the confusing figures in the crowd, the noise never stops.
But at this moment, each other's field of vision could only accommodate one figure.
-
The final will begin soon.
After Professor Moody brought the trophy into the maze, the emotions of all the teachers and students in the school instantly boiled over.
Draco always felt that after Moody disappeared,
Professor Dumbledore and Severus exchanged meaningful glances.
Then, as Severus walked away,
The four fighters stepped into the tree wall of the maze one by one in order of their points.
"I still don't understand. If the first one to get the trophy is the champion,"
"Aren't the first two levels just to determine the order of entry?"
"Then why are you taking it so seriously?"
"Also, although we are called spectators, we can't see anything..."
Pansy complained wordlessly and Daphne patted her hand gently, trying to comfort her.
From the slightly helpless look in her gentle expression, it can be seen that Daphne is also a little confused.
However, most of the students and their families seemed to be satisfied with this arrangement.
Various noises continued to be heard in the maze.
The sound of spells clashing, fighters shouting, and unknown magical creatures roaring and neighing.
The "audience" also exclaimed or applauded following these sounds.
Karkaroff's face looked extremely ugly, and he kept pressing his left forearm in panic.
This made Draco realize that he was definitely not nervous about Krum.
Madame Maxime was different. She would occasionally use her concern for Jiaer to divert her anxiety about her beloved disciple.
In particular, about ten minutes later, Furong's blood-freezing scream was heard in the maze.
-
After that, the audience had a lot more mixed emotions.
The lively conversations began to compete with the cheers of encouragement.
Soon after, a red light appeared in the maze, indicating that a fighter had left.
The atmosphere of tension and anticipation spread with the whispers.
The enthusiasm in the audience seats quickly turned into a restlessness and anxiety in anticipation of the ending.
My mind was in a mess, and my hands were unconsciously clasped tightly together.
Pansy, Daphne, and Astoria also looked at themselves worriedly.
After a while, a strange wind seemed to blow from the depths of the maze, sweeping the branches and leaves of the tree wall into the sky.
As something seemed to shake, everything returned to calm.
The Quidditch pitch was dead silent.
The anxious emotions in the audience echoed and accumulated in silence, making it hard to breathe.
It was not until Karkaroff's scream pierced the night sky that the noise of human voices returned.
Karkaroff stood up and hurried out of the court.
The other judges also stood up.
Fudge kept shouting to try to stop it.
Many students were also frightened by the sudden performance.
Fortunately, Bagman smiled and announced to everyone,
The last event actually didn’t require judging.
He repeatedly assured that Karkaroff must be too nervous and needed to go to the bathroom to relieve his mood, thus stabilizing the atmosphere of the whole venue.
Draco found that Dumbledore's eyes were unusually sharp, and he even glanced at him inadvertently.
-
Her heart pounding, she stood up and whispered to the three sisters.
"I'll go for a walk too."
"We'll go with you."
Pansy stood up without saying a word.
Although Daphne didn't say anything, her eyes revealed her determination as she slowly stood up.
Looking at the two of them, knowing that it was useless to refuse, he nodded.
The three men took Astoria to Hannah and left the arena.
Just as I stepped out of the Quidditch pit, a silver herding deer stood in front of me in the endless darkness of the campus.
It seems that I have been waiting for a long time.
“So beautiful…”
Looking at the silver-white herded deer, Daphne sighed softly.
He stepped forward and spread out his palms, as if wanting the deer to get closer to him.
But the doe did not react. She just looked at Draco quietly, lowered her head, then turned around and slowly walked towards the castle.
Silver light sprinkled in the graceful movement.
"Is this the Patronus, Draco?"
Pansy was also moved by the scenery before her.
As the three of them moved forward, they couldn't help but ask in a low voice, fearing that they would accidentally scare it away.
Draco nodded.
"But I didn't know that the Patronus could lead the way in this way."
Draco said silently, and suddenly it occurred to him, could this be Professor Dumbledore's way of informing Sirius?
The stadium was still silent. It seemed that the fighters had not returned yet.
I thought the guardian angel was going to lead the three of them back to the castle.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I turned a corner and arrived at the forbidden forest.
A petite figure walked out from the shadows, holding a thick stack of envelopes and several small gift boxes...
Yesterday's data summary: Reading - 34.8%, urging for updates - 24.1%, following updates - 19.7%, gifts - (about half)
Still asking for gifts (recently, there are very few people who are generating electricity for love. There are dozens of people asking for updates, but few of them are generating electricity for love. Of course, there are also very few people asking for updates). Asking for various free and paid gifts!!! Give them to generate electricity for love! (It’s just a matter of watching a 15s advertisement)
The plan for more chapters remains the same. I was a bit behind last week (you can tell from the thank you post), and I’m still far from the update line... I guess this can be considered as hard work this week!
