Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 287 The Moral Harry?
And Hera, who was in the office on the fourth floor, saw Harry Potter's name marked on the map and began to move after the curfew, and finally felt relieved. Harry should still have enough time to prepare for the second project, staying under the Black Lake for an hour.

But the stupid Harry didn't choose to do this, he just stubbornly discussed with his two good friends, which annoyed little Barty, he hoped that Harry would come to ask him for help immediately, so that he could immediately take out the gill weed that he had prepared for a long time - he had spent a lot of effort to steal it from Snape's private collection.

Ron was inclined to let Harry use the Coming Charm again, and he thought it was perfectly possible to get a set of scuba from a nearby Muggle town.Of course, Hermione, in her right mind, flatly dismissed this suggestion, pointing out the crucial problem that Harry couldn't possibly learn how to operate it in an hour.And it violates the International Code of Magical Secrecy.

"Of course, the most ideal way is to transform yourself into a submarine or something." Hera said, "But you have never been exposed to human transformation at all. This is an extremely complicated transformation technique. At least you will not be able to teach this content until you are in the sixth grade. If you do not fully master this magic and transform yourself without authorization, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Well, it looks like I need to think of other ways." Harry swallowed, he didn't want to walk around with a diving telescope on his head.

Looking at Harry's back, Hera could only shrug her shoulders helplessly. He knew that several other spells could keep Harry under the Black Lake for more than an hour, but he couldn't help Harry so obviously, at least not arousing the suspicion of Dumbledore and Madam Maxime.

You know, he is now representing Beauxbatons, and helping Harry is an "enemy"!
And so Harry had to dig through those dusty tomes once again, looking for a spell that would allow a person to survive without oxygen, just as he had been frantically searching for a dragon spell before his first project.He had no doubt that he would soon tire of the library and never want to be in it for the rest of his life.

Hera was watching the Marauder's Map in the office, and he could easily see the movement of everyone in the castle, especially Barty Jr. who had been wandering around Harry.

On the Marauder's Map, Barty Jr.'s name is clearly displayed as "Barty Crouch". Obviously, Compound Potion cannot fool the Marauder's Map.

About two or three days later, Hera suddenly became aware of a problem - Little Barty's plan hadn't succeeded, and his way of passing the level hadn't been passed on to Harry.Because Harry could hardly eat at all in the Great Hall now, and almost everyone could see the anxious expression on his face.

The only thing that made him feel at ease was probably that Hagrid came back and gave up his scary little pet - Blast-tailed snails. He found two unicorn cubs in the appearance of a scholar, Professor Graplan, which attracted the attention of the whole class. At the same time, Hagrid finally had a chance to care about Harry's situation.

"You're going to win, as long as you want to do it, there's nothing you can't do, I'm not worried about you at all, you're sure to succeed." Hagrid patted Harry's shoulder with a heavy hand, bending his knees.

The idea of ​​escaping Hogwarts once again occurred to Harry, which was absurd, but when he saw the happy, confident smile on Hagrid's face, he couldn't help it.

On the evening before the game, Hera could see Harry sitting in the library for a long time through the Marauder's Map in the office. He must not have found a way to survive at the bottom of the lake for an hour.

The sun outside the window was gradually sinking, and Hera climbed onto the bed. He wanted to ensure enough sleep to welcome the next day, but little Barty couldn't wait any longer. He called Dobby to the teachers' lounge to collect the laundry, and purposely discussed loudly with Professor McGonagall about the cognition of being detained, and guessed whether Potter would think of using gill grass.

Dobby was easily fooled, and he ran to Snape's office immediately, stole the gill grass from Snape's private collection, and hurried to find Harry.

Poor Snape, he found out that his office had been broken into twice in just two days. The first time he lost the African tree snake skin, and the second time he lost the gill grass.It just pissed him off.

When Dobby found Harry, he was still in the library, his Invisibility Cloak had slipped from his head onto the floor, his cheek pressed against the pages of Where There's a Wand, There's a Way.

At this time, other warriors and spectators had already arrived at the Black Lake.

Hera sat on Beauxbaton's seats, which were lined across the lake as tiers so that they could see how the game was going, now full and reflected in the lake below.

"Harry, why hasn't he come yet?" Everyone was thinking about this question in their hearts. Suddenly, a figure ran over from the direction of the castle. Everyone watched in amazement as Harry ran past with lightning. Harry desperately circled the lake and ran towards the referees. They were sitting at another table covered with a golden tablecloth by the water.All the warriors and referees are waiting for him here.

Harry finally arrived.

Hera breathed a sigh of relief. He could see Harry slipping in the mud through the panoramic binoculars and accidentally staining Fleur's robes.

The arrival of the last warrior also announced the official start of the second project. There were not too many opening remarks. Even Bagman just counted down to three two one, and the second project officially started.

Screeching whistles echoed in the cold, still air.There was a burst of cheers and applause from the stands, and it was at this time that Hera realized that the little girl who had been cheering for her sister had disappeared.

"Where's Gabriel?"

"Later yesterday, Madam Maxim called her away, saying that she was needed for the second project, but I don't know the specific situation." Penello shrugged her shoulders. She had no idea that the second project would have anything to do with Gabriel, a preschooler.

The four warriors went into the water. Cedric and Fleur used the bubble head spell. Obviously their spell was successful. At least Hera didn't see them struggling. Krum used the transfiguration spell. Although it was incomplete, it was still effective. The bottom was a human body, wearing swimming trunks, and the top was a shark's head.
Harry walked into the lake in a daze. Hera could see Harry's current appearance through the panoramic binoculars. He was horrific. He had preliminaries growing out of his neck, and webs were connected between his toes, as if his feet had suddenly turned into duck webs.

"It looks like Harry used gill grass, but I don't know where he got it from." Hera murmured, and the game became very difficult to watch, because the audience had no way to see the situation at the bottom of the lake, and no one knew what happened to them underwater. Even Dumbledore could only get the detailed process of the game through communication with the mermaid after the game.

Hera waited for a full hour in the cold wind. The referee's whistle pierced the sky above the Black Lake again. Still, no warrior came out of the lake. Could it be that they all failed?
No, Cedric came back. He exceeded the one-hour time limit by 1 minute, but he returned to land with the hostages, and it was No.1 who returned.No one doubted that Cedric would score the highest score in the second category, so there was thunderous applause from the audience.

The stands were full of voices, shouting and yelling, and everyone seemed to stand up, and they shouted Cedric's name.

Immediately afterwards, Krum also came back, and he surfaced with a huge shark head on his head. His hostage turned out to be Hermione!
It seems that his obsession with Hermione did not give up because of the rejection of the Christmas ball, but it became stronger and stronger. I believe this will give Hermione a headache.

Then, a red distress signal shot out of the water, and the referees all nervously looked in that direction, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic who had been preparing for a long time rushed down into the lake, and it didn't take long for them to come back with Fleur.

Everyone in the Beauxbatons audience was so heavy that Fleur failed, and she failed in her second project.

Fleur came ashore, and Madam Pomfrey immediately rushed up without making a fuss, and directly covered her with a thick blanket.

"It was Green Lody and those Green Lodi who attacked me, Gabriel." Fleur covered her face and cried bitterly. She couldn't believe the facts in front of her. She didn't take her sister back from the mermaid.

"You come here," Madam Pomfrey said, and she grabbed Fleur by the arm and dragged her to the others, wrapped him tightly in a blanket, and Madam Pomfrey forced a hot potion into her mouth, and immediately there was steam coming out of her ears.

"Beauxbaton lost, didn't he?" Penello was a little depressed. She didn't expect that such an excellent student as Fleur would not be able to complete the second project. What about Harry in the back?
Oh yes, Harry hasn't come out yet, everyone's heart is hanging, where did Harry go?Had he been attacked by a merman before he even had a chance to call for help?

Finally, just as the referees were waiting a little uneasy, and were about to announce the end of the second event, a head popped out of the water, and Harry came out!He's finally out!

He gulped air, pulling Ron and Gabrielle by his sides, and around him, green shaggy heads emerged from the water with him, mermen, but they all smiled kindly at Harry.

"I think Harry made a mistake, he is absolutely stupid." Hera put down the binoculars, unable to believe the scene in front of her eyes.

Was Harry suspecting that Dumbledore would not have put in place effective security measures?
How could Dumbledore allow the hostages to die because the warrior didn't show up?
This is obvious, why did he take two hostages?

All kinds of questions lingered in Hera's heart, as well as little Barty's mind. He was so angry that his artificial leg and the ground made a bang sound—he used a lot of strength to walk.

Fortunately, the final score was not satisfactory, even though Harry was the last one to return, far exceeding the one-hour stipulated time.However, the mermaid leader told the referees that Harry was the first to find the hostages and that he didn't return in time because he wanted to make sure all the hostages returned safely, not just his own hostages.

Most of the referees - except for Karkaroff, who is notoriously narrow-minded - thought this was a good example of good morals, so Harry ended up scoring 45 points.

Now, Harry and Cedric are tied for first place!
The students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons looked extremely bad. They could accept their hero losing to Cedric, but they couldn't accept losing to Harry Potter.Not even if he is the Boy Who Lived!
You must know that Harry is only a fourth-year student, and he has no chance to learn advanced magic, let alone participate in such a difficult Triwizard Tournament!
At the same time, Mr. Bagman also announced, "The third—that is, the last project will be carried out on the evening of June 6, and the warriors will know the specific content of the project one month in advance."

With four full months to go before the third project, the Warriors breathed a sigh of relief. They have a long time to prepare.

However, there was still someone with a dark face among the people present. That was Professor Snape. He found that his private collection had been opened this morning, and those neatly arranged and categorized potions had been rummaged through. After he spent a lot of time sorting out, he found that he had lost another copy of Gill Grass.

This was another burglary incident after he lost the African tree snake skin. It just so happened that Harry used gill grass today, which made him suspicious. Potter had always ignored school rules, and it was not unacceptable that Potter would come to his office to steal medicinal materials.

In fact, the year before last, that is, in 1992, Snape lost a piece of African tree snake skin, but he didn't catch the thief at that time, which made him very annoyed. ——Of course, Hera knew it well, it was Hermione who stole it, and they had secretly brewed Polyjuice Potion in the women's bathroom on the first floor.

However, all of this was just Snape's suspicion. He tried to ask Dumbledore to punish Potter, but was fooled by Dumbledore.

After entering March, the weather became clearer, but every time I came to the field outside, the icy cold wind still hurt Hera's hands and face, and the owls couldn't deliver the letter in time, because the strong wind always blew them away from the target.Therefore, the "Daily Prophet" was delivered to Hera's desk almost every day around noon.
