All things are three at Hogwarts

Emerging from the Ministry of Magic's temporary office at Hogwarts, Alan teleported to the Gryffindor common room, hid himself, approached Ron, and pulled out several of his hair.

Ron grimaced in pain, but didn't know what was happening. He cursed a few times and immersed himself in searching for weird magic puzzles and their solutions to complete his thesis.

Two paragraphs have been scrawled on the parchment in front of him. Looking at the length of the parchment, he may have to fight here for a long time without the help of Hermione and Harry.

Alan left Gryffindor with satisfaction and wandered along the road that must be passed from the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic to Gryffindor. This road was relatively cold. At this time, most of the young wizards were in the lounge or library. , Allen calculated that no one would notice if he showed up here.

Sure enough, he was stopped by the Ministry of Magic official who came to consult. Under the surprised eyes of the other party, he happily agreed to serve as Krum's hostage.

On the day of the second game, during breakfast, Professor McGonagall found a few selected hostages with a serious face and asked them to follow her.

Ron didn't know why, he followed Luna and Ginny blankly. Ginny looked a little nervous, and Ron couldn't help but become nervous as well.

Entering the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic, Albert and the hostages from other schools were already waiting.

On the long table in front of them, there were six cups. The brown liquid inside exuded the smell of chocolate and was bubbling.

"As hostages who need to be rescued by the warriors, you will be taken to the bottom of the lake by the mermaid in a while, but don't worry about your safety. If you drink this, you will not feel any pain or danger." Crouch pointed. Referring to those potions on the table.

Ron's eyes widened and he looked at Crouch in disbelief. He raised his hand and wanted to speak, but Crouch ignored him and just waved his hand, asking him to wait.

"We told the warriors that if you are not rescued within an hour, there will be no hope. But in fact, you will not be in any danger." Crouch looked at his watch, "Okay, hurry up, It’s easy, just drink them.”

"Sorry sir, why did I become a warrior?" Ron asked with a pale face and mustered up the courage.

Crouch frowned: "You agreed to become the warrior's hostage."

"No, I'm not, I didn't." Ron shook his head in fear.

"What he said is true." Luna said lightly.

For the first time, Ron felt that the crazy girl's words were so touching. He glanced at Luna gratefully and looked at Mr. Crouch expectantly.

Crouch's brows furrowed tightly. There must have been something wrong, but the game was about to start. There was no time for them to change the candidates, and he would never tolerate any more problems in this game. Since Sirius's unjust case, his power in the ministry has shrunk and he is in a difficult situation. He is now in charge of such a major event as the Three Witches Tournament and must not make any mistakes. He cannot afford to lose this person and his prestige cannot be lost. Any blow was received.

"Ron Weasley, you are a Gryffindor, be brave. If you escape before the battle, it will discredit Arthur and Percy. I'm afraid they will also leave the impression that they cannot be reused." Crouch left He got behind Ron, put his hands on his shoulders, and pushed him towards the table with the potions. Ron heard the threat from his deliberately raised voice.

"What he said is true." Luna's voice sounded in Ron's ears again.

The crazy girl was still so unlovable, Ron looked at the cup in front of him, his eyes widened, and a thought penetrated his heart like a spell: "If I act bravely, will Dad and Percy be reused? "

This thought made his heart beat wildly again. For the sake of his father and Percy, he was determined not to retreat and had to stay with him until the end.

Ron picked up a cup and drank the potion in it.

"Okay, that's great. You are very brave for being the first to drink the potion. Don't worry, Krum is very strong and will rescue you. You don't have to worry."

"What? Krum, not Harry? Is it really me that Krum likes?" Ron was so overwhelmed by the news that he tilted his head and fainted on the ground.

For the other young wizards at Hogwarts, today is a grand event. Before leaving, they all walked up to Alan and wished him good luck tomorrow, with cheerful and confident voices. Clearly, they all believed that Allen was going to deliver another fantastic performance, just like he did in the first project.

Allen didn't lose his grace for racing right away, smiling and nodding in thanks.

Soon, Allen also got up and walked towards the lake.

Passing through the two oak doors and walking down the lawn, he saw that the seats surrounding the fire dragon enclosure last November were now lined up on the other side of the lake. They were already packed and reflected in the lake below. Reflection.

It was the coldest morning in winter, and the trees were covered with frost flowers, as if they were seeping frost. The sky is blue, like a bright mirror. The sunlight passes through, bright and cold, and shines on the cold lake, without any warming effect.

The judges sat at another table by the water covered with a golden tablecloth. Allen walked around the lake.

Dumbledore smiled and winked at Allen, and Crouch sat indifferently behind the long table, not even looking at Allen.

Madame Maxime smiled softly, as if nothing could ruin her good mood, and Karkaroff gathered around his precious student Krum.

Krum was wearing a thick long fur cloak and gave Allen a provocative smile.

Ludo Bagman's voice suddenly echoed across the lakeside.

"In this competition, the warriors need to go to the bottom of the lake to find the treasure they miss most, but there is a time limit. If it exceeds an hour, then all hope is lost. Next, please allow me to introduce their treasure."

"Most missed treasure of Luna Lovegood and Alan Harris."

Hermione, who was sitting in the stands, told Penelo what she knew about Allen and Luna with a sarcastic smile, "Don't think that he likes you the most."

"Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley; Fleur Delacour, Albert Harris." Suddenly Bagman's voice suddenly rose an octave, "Victor Krum, Ron Weasley!"

There was an uproar on the field, which was so unexpected. The unspeakable secret between Krum and Ron was told over and over again by the little wizards.

Like the other wizards, Krum was stunned by the news. After reacting, his expression turned pale and his lips trembled: "No...I'm not, I didn't!"

Finally, he waved his arms and let out a roar, knocking Karkaroff's hat off beside him to the ground.
