Hogwarts: I am the White Lord
Chapter 418 Pre-match State
Harry pointed to the map. It was an inverted pyramid-shaped maze located at the location of the Quidditch pitch. Unlike an ordinary pyramid, it had five corners, which were the starting points for the five teams of warriors.
There are three layers in total. Except for the first layer, the other two layers are all buried deep underground.
The entrance to the second floor is right in the middle of the first floor. These two floors are filled with various magic traps, magical plants and magical animals. The third floor has nothing but a lonely trophy.
The map that Malfoy's father got was very detailed, with all the layouts clearly marked on it.
Harry pointed to the connection point between the first and second floors and said, "Once we get the trophy, it will be useless to just hide. Since the trophy can report the location, we will definitely be besieged, so we can take the initiative to attack and set an ambush on the second floor."
"It's written here that there is a magic barrier on the door between the second and first floors, which can isolate the movement on both sides. So no matter how hard we fight on the second floor, the sound will not be transmitted to the first floor."
"As long as we make good use of the time difference and defeat all our opponents, we can easily take out the trophy!"
Malfoy's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Good job, Harry, that's a really good idea.
The thought of defeating the warrior teams from four other magic schools by one's own is exciting and impressive.
Moreover, sitting back and waiting can reduce consumption and avoid being besieged. No matter how you look at it, the success rate of this method is very high.
At that time, as long as you defeat everyone, you can take the trophy however you want, no matter what you ask for.
"Good idea!" Malfoy added, "I'll go back and collect information about the other team members. When we ambush, Cedric, you take charge of the defense first. Then Harry and I will take the opportunity to use a quick attack to directly defeat the weakest members of the other teams. It will be much easier when we have three against two."
He made a fierce gesture, looking as cool as possible.
"Okay!" Seeing that the two were very excited, Cedric nodded, "Then let's think about it carefully and try our best to take all situations into consideration. Then, we try to find as many ambush points as possible, and then we can make use of the traps in the maze if necessary."
"Otherwise," he said with a sigh, "we would have wasted such a detailed map."
............
In the last week of May, Ludo Bagman came to Hogwarts and announced the detailed rules of the competition to all the warriors, which were exactly the same as what was written on the parchment that Malfoy's father got.
At this point, Harry and the other two were completely relieved and began to focus on making preparations for the game.
After entering June, time passed faster. After the fifth and seventh year students finished the OWL and NEWT level exams that determined their life destiny, the little wizards of other years also started their final exams.
Even so, the atmosphere in the castle became more lively day by day.
The area around the Quidditch pitch was completely cordoned off and began to be renovated for the final game. Even the Ilvermorny students who originally lived nearby moved to new locations and rearranged their magic tents.
In response to this, more than one little wizard said that they couldn't wait to finish the remaining exams, watch the last game, and start welcoming the wonderful summer vacation.
On the night of June 23rd, Harry had a dream. In his dream, he once again entered Voldemort's perspective. In front of him knelt a young man whose face he could not see clearly.
And then, there was no aftermath. In less than three seconds, Harry's Occlumency took effect automatically.
In a daze, Harry turned over, adjusted his pillow and continued to sleep.
Why was Voldemort so excited that he could actually stimulate Occlumency?
Regardless of him, who knows if the other party is deliberately lying to you, just continue sleeping.
The next morning, the Great Hall was bustling with activity. During breakfast, Professor McGonagall came in and gathered Harry, Malfoy and Cedric together.
"You three, after breakfast, remember to gather in the conference room next to the auditorium."
"Professor, isn't the match in the evening? What do you want us to do now?" Harry asked puzzledly.
"Yes, the game is indeed tonight," Professor McGonagall nodded, a rare smile on her face, "But I think you will be interested in this. The families of the warriors have been invited to watch the game. They are in the conference room at the moment."
Facing the three warriors, Professor McGonagall's tone was no longer harsh, but gentle: "You can spend some time with your family around Hogwarts today. A relaxed attitude will help with the game tonight."
After saying that, she smiled at the three of them, then turned and left. As the vice principal, she still had a lot of things to do.
"My parents are here?" Cedric said happily, "How about this, Harry and Draco, you two go first, I haven't finished my breakfast yet."
"By the way, tell my parents for me. I'll bring them two jam tarts later."
Harry nodded and walked towards the meeting room with Malfoy.
As he walked on the road, he kept muttering to himself.
The warriors' families? Who were my own families? They couldn't be the Dursleys, could they? Today was destined to be a troubled day, so I had to make sure I didn't scare them to death.
The two walked through the hall and pushed open the door into the conference room, which looked very lively.
Fleur's little sister Gabrielle was holding her mother's hand, with a sweet smile on her face. She waved vigorously at Harry, smiling like a kitten. Harry was slightly startled, then waved back in a friendly way. Gabrielle whispered a few words happily to her mother, showing off that she knew this famous Hogwarts warrior.
On the other side, Krum's parents stood in a corner, whispering in Bulgarian, speaking as fast as a flying Firebolt. Their faces were calm, and it was obvious that they were not worried that people around them would eavesdrop, or they didn't care at all.
The warriors of Ilvermorny gathered in a small circle, chatting and laughing with their families. Their parents' faces were full of excitement after the cross-Atlantic journey, and their words were full of curiosity about the ancient magic school Hogwarts.
As for the warriors of Ugadu, they had already got up with their families and were preparing to tour the campus with great interest. The magnificent castle of Hogwarts was undoubtedly a visual feast for these visitors from afar.
Harry also saw his family member, none other than Sirius Black, his godfather.
However, unlike the families of warriors from other schools, Sirius and Lucius stood far away from each other, as if looking at each other for one more second would pollute their eyes.
Harry shrugged helplessly, said hello to Cedric's parents first, then greeted Sirius with a smile.
"Come on, Harry. This is the first time I've returned to Hogwarts openly in all these years. I'll be your guide today and take you on an in-depth tour of Hogwarts."
On the other side, Malfoy was already in his mother's arms, and then she looked him up and down and asked him about his well-being, which made Malfoy blush again.
Lucius smiled and helped Malfoy out: "Draco, don't stay here, come on, take us out for a walk."
