HP: Embrace the Darkness

Cedric, who was talking to his father, noticed Asseth and quickly pulled his father over to say hello, "Ah—Professor Cavendish, this is my father."

Amos took Cedric's words and introduced himself enthusiastically, "Amos Diggory, call me Amos. Isn't my son very good? He is number one, although there is also Harry .Potter.”

He winked at Asseth.

"Father! Stop talking."

Cedric blushed in embarrassment and hurriedly took Amos's hand to stop him from continuing.

Now Asseth is a professor, but he knows that Asses skipped a grade and graduated, otherwise he would go to school with him. He really couldn't bear the praise in front of Asses.

"Cedric is indeed outstanding." Asses had a gentle and polite smile on his face, and his words were serious, "I wish you good luck, Cedric."

Cedric was even more embarrassed. His handsome face burned from his cheekbones to behind his ears, and his warm black pupils looked over seriously when he heard the blessing.

"Thank you, Asseth."

Looking at his son's almost red face, Amos didn't understand why he was so shy today, but he still stood up to save him.

"Let's continue cheering before the game. Professor Cavendish is free to do it."

"Wait a minute, I'm here to give him the alchemy badge. Today's warriors' game will be transmitted to the curtain outside through this alchemy badge."

Aces raised his voice, attracting the attention of the other three warriors.

After hearing that it was something related to the competition, all the parents gathered around.

"What alchemy badge?"

The speaker was Fu Rong's mother. Her voice was very gentle, and the charm she exuded when she smiled was far beyond that of the still immature Fu Rong.

The men present couldn't help but cast polite and appreciative glances. Asses didn't notice that their attention was distracted and was still doing his duty to explain the function of the badge.

"... And one last thing, remember not to lose it. It has protective magic patterns engraved on it, which can save your life at a critical moment."

"The badge is worn on the left chest. There is a fixed mechanism on the side. You just press it to buckle it in and then separate it."

After Asseth finished what he had to say, he took out the alchemy badges and handed them out in order.

The parents took the badge and started playing with it on the warrior. The ingenious Mrs. Weasley was the first to grasp the method and easily put the badge on Harry.

With her help and guidance, the others quickly buttoned up their badges.

The sky was getting dark, and the ink-like darkness enveloped the earth, but it could not cover the bustling Quidditch pitch.

All seats in the stands were occupied, and the little wizards squeezed in one by one, squeezing into the seats and waving the cheering banners in their hands.

The cheers for each warrior came one after another, as if in a competition. After the last little wizard shouted cheers for his own warrior, the next little wizard who shouted cheers must work harder.

Led by Professor Flitwick, the professors sat on the highest teachers' stand, overlooking the maze entrance below.

At this time, four warriors were already standing there.

Dumbledore finished explaining the routine rules of the game and waved towards the teachers' stand.

Aces also raised his hand, and the wand between his fingers emitted a white light toward the top of the maze.

In an instant, the curtain hanging above the maze opened, split into four from the middle, and came down in two rows from top to bottom, and a blurry picture appeared.

"Wow!"

The exclamations came one after another.

A minute later, the scene on the curtain became clear, and the four warriors could be clearly seen on it. They appeared in each other's scenes, and the most conspicuous one was Dumbledore, who accidentally entered the frame of the four frames.

"That's great. Now we can see what's going on in the maze."

A Hufflepuff badger sighed.

The companions around him also felt the same way, and sighed sincerely.

"I will definitely take Professor Cavendish's class next time. The alchemy in his hands is amazing."

The little badger who sighed at first was full of disbelief, "You said the same thing last time."

"Uh...it's not like I don't understand."

The sound of the two chatting was inconspicuous in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were focused on the curtain.

When Dumbledore found himself in the frame, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked the four warriors to adjust their positions and face him head-on, so that he could appear perfectly in all four frames.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, placed a sound amplifying spell on his throat with his wand, and his cloudy eyes showed excitement.

"Gentlemen and ladies, the third mission of the Triwizard Tournament will begin soon. Here we will announce the scores of the four warriors."

"The current number one is Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter from Hogwarts, with eighty-five points."

The little wizards at Hogwarts immediately clapped their hands crazily, stamped their feet, and cheered.

"Harry! I knew you could!"

After corresponding several times, at Harry's insistence, Sirius, who used the inheritance left by his good brother to pay off half of his debts, barely got the right to watch the Triwizard Tournament. Now he is standing on a high tower, shouting excitedly .

Seeing that Harry's eyes were scanning every corner of the Quidditch pitch and still moving, as if he was looking for something, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up with all his strength and waved downwards.

"Harry, I'm coming! I'm here!"

The two raven members who "sent" Sirius over were blocked by Sirius's waving hands. They suddenly lost their good looks and raised their hands to pull Sirius down.

"Sit tight or we will take you back." Gavin sneered and threatened fiercely.

Sirius secretly scolded them for being troublesome, but was afraid that they would really take him back, so he quickly sat down quietly.

"The second place is Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, with a score of eighty points. The third place is Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons."

Another round of applause.

After the applause died down, everyone's eyes left the curtain and turned to the entrance of the maze.

They knew the game was about to begin.

"Now I declare that the game officially begins!"

"Beep——"

As the administrator Filch whistled, the two top-ranked warriors rushed to the entrance of the maze at the same time, each chose a direction and ran in.

Everyone couldn't see their figures, so they looked at the curtain above the sky.

The picture behind the curtain was very dark, and the picture was shaking violently. In the blur, branches and leaves appeared alternately. The warriors' breathing was a little hurried due to running, and the curses they shouted were not very clear.

The second whistle sounded.

Krum quickly ran into the maze, running in one direction without thinking.

Not long after he entered, the third whistle sounded.

Fleur also chose a direction and ran into the maze.
