Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis pushed the door and walked into the conference room. He was the first warrior to arrive.

There was a black-haired couple next to the door. From the man's nose, you could tell they were Krum's parents.

Mr. Granger stood aside somewhat awkwardly, his eyes darting around aimlessly.

Mrs. Granger, Flora and Mrs. Weasley were chatting and laughing.

Behind Fula there are two beauties, one big and one small. They should be Furong's mother and sister.

There was also a red-haired man wearing fang earrings by the fireplace.

Hefeth didn't know him, but he thought it should be Bill Weasley.

After all, he had met all the other members of the Weasley family, except Bill.

"Mr. and Mrs. Granger, welcome." Hephis also greeted the others politely.

When Mr. Granger saw Heffies, his tense expression instantly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Granger came forward warmly and gave him a big hug.

"Hephis, I'm so glad you're here. Where's Hermione? Isn't she with you?"

"She has an exam in the morning and will join us after she's done." Hephis responded with a smile.

"Big brother." A voice as thin as a mosquito sounded.

Gabrielle stood shyly not far away, and gently pulled the corner of Hephis's clothes with her little hand.

Hephis squatted down and looked at the little girl, "Gabriel, hello. What can I do for you?"

Gabrielle leaned close to Hephis's ear and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving me that day."

Her voice was low, but full of sincerity.

Hephis rubbed the little girl's head gently, "You're welcome."

Gabrielle gave a shy smile.

Then she ran joyfully back into Lady Delacour's arms.

After chatting for a while, Hephis suggested taking them on a tour of Hogwarts.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger seemed very excited, this is a magic castle!

They are curious about everything they see.

Mr. Granger even sat on the moving stairs three times.

Near noon, Hephis took them to the outside of the History of Magic examination room.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Hermione rushed out of the exam room in a hurry.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Hermione looked at them in surprise.

She received a message from Hephis, but it only said, come quickly if you need anything.

Mrs. Granger smiled. "Hephis invited us specially. Your father didn't dare to come at first..."

Mr. Granger interrupted hastily.

“It is an invaluable experience for us to witness the place where you learn and grow.”

Mrs. Granger rolled her eyes at her husband but said nothing more, giving him some face in front of the children.

Hermione took advantage of the gap and leaned close to Hephis's ear, "Thank you, Hephis."

"As long as you are happy." Hephis smiled gently.

"Of course I'm happy, but...your uncle..." Hermione said with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"Why, you don't want to share your family with me?" Hefeth didn't want to explain Rice's problem.

"Of course I do." Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly.

Hephis acted as a competent tour guide and accompanied them for a whole day.

They also went to visit Hagrid.

The Grangers had heard of Hagrid from Hermione.

But when they first saw Hagrid's twelve-foot height, they were still amazed.

But then, they were shocked by Hagrid's "inhumanity".

Hagrid gave each of the Grangers a straw hat woven from unicorn hair and hippogriff feathers.

I can’t say that the straw hat is very good-looking, but its main feature is that it is expensive.

Happy time is always short.

As night falls.

Hephis and Hermione returned to the castle with the Grangers, who were still reluctant to leave.

Today's dinner was very sumptuous, and the Grangers were full of praise for An An's cooking skills.

When the ceiling changed from starry sky to blue flames.

Dumbledore stood up slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, please go to the Quidditch field to witness the final event of the Triwizard Tournament.

Now, warriors, please follow Mr. Bagman to the sports field to prepare. "

"Hephis, be careful." Mrs. Granger looked at him with some concern.

"Don't worry! You and Hermione can just go to the stage and enjoy my performance."

Hephis released a little emotional magic to soothe Mrs. Granger's heart.

Amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd in the auditorium.

He walked out of the auditorium with three other warriors.

At this time, the Quidditch field was still shrouded in fog, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

The stands, except for the exclusive area reserved for Hogwarts teachers and students, were already full of people.

As soon as the warriors appeared, they immediately burst into warm applause.

The stars in the sky seemed to be brighter.

The professors who were responsible for patrolling the edge of the maze also walked into the venue.

Their hats were all inlaid with bright red stars.

Professor McGonagall instructed them.

"If you are in trouble, you can shoot red sparks into the sky and we will come to rescue you. Do you understand?"

The warriors nodded in unison.

"Thank you for your hard work, please take your seats."

Bagman seemed very excited.

The four professors walked off in different directions, spreading out around the maze.

Bagman then pointed his wand at his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"

He then placed his hands on a three-foot-high podium beside him.

The podium suddenly burst into brilliant light.

The fog covering the Quidditch pitch slowly lifted, revealing a thirty-foot-high hedge.

There was a gap in the middle, and the passage inside was pitch black.

There are also ten huge mirror-like screens inlaid on it.

Each screen is twenty-one feet long and nine feet wide.

The scene on the screen is exactly the scene inside the maze.

The screen in the center shows the destination that the warriors dream of.

The Triple Cup stood quietly on the high platform, emitting an alluring glow.

Bagman spoke again, announcing the current score.

"Mr. Hephis Dam, currently has 100 points accumulated, ranking first, Hogwarts!"

There was a sudden burst of deafening cheers and applause from the stands.

"Harry Potter, closely behind, ranked second with 85 points, also from Hogwarts!"

"Viktor Krum, third with 80 points, Durmstrang!"

"Fleur Delacour, fourth place, Beauxbatons!"

"Now, Mr. Dam, listen to my whistle!"

"Three...two...one..."

A sharp and short whistle sounded.
