[HP] Leader's Exclusive Rose

Cedric looked behind him from time to time, and the layout of the maze made him feel that someone was watching him secretly.It was getting darker every minute, and the sky above was slowly turning dark blue.He came to the second fork in the road.

"Show me the way," he whispered to his wand, flat on his palm.

A whirl of the wand designated the dense hedge to his left.

The road ahead was still empty, and when they reached a corner, Cedric held his wand tightly and turned in, but there was still no obstacle.He didn't know why this happened, and he was a little flustered by being so unobstructed: Logically speaking, he should have encountered some obstacles now, but this maze seemed to be tempting him with the false pretense of safety.

Cedric tried his best not to be so excited, turned left into another road, and he and a huge fried-tailed wreck looked at each other—"faint!" Without thinking, he immediately threw it at it A Stunning Charm, but the snail was too big, it just shook, but didn't pass out.Seeing that it was about to attack him, Cedric hastily cast an armor protection spell on himself, and threw it unconscious again. The next second, he turned around and wanted to escape this way, and suddenly screamed Cut through the silence around.

Delacour?A face flashed across Cedric's mind. Is something wrong with her?

Turning into a road again, there was silence all around.Her cry just now seemed to come from the front.Cedric didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only walk forward slowly with his wand.

The sky has completely darkened, and the endless and starry black night sky is above the head. The audience outside the stadium can only sit in the stands holding flags and other things used to boost morale.

Rosalind and Hermione couldn't comfort the other at the moment, and the clasped hands couldn't share the pressure—both of their hearts were tied tightly by the two warriors in the maze—one was worried about Cedric , a worry for Harry.

Cedric touched the safety button on his chest, which was given to him by Rosalind.

Yes—she was with him, she was waiting for her to go back.

There were footsteps behind him, and Cedric squeezed his wand tightly and looked back against the fence—it was Krum, who was facing his Krum with the wand.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that there was no expression on his face, Cedric was not sure what the big man wanted to do for a moment: "What do you want to do?"

Then Harry heard Krum's and Cedric's voices almost simultaneously:

"Cruciatus!" "Cutting out!"

Hearing their voices, Harry felt like his heart was going to jump in his throat. He ran wildly on the road, trying to find a gap to get through, but when he couldn't find it, he tried to chant the Shattering Charm again: Not very effective, but managed to burn a small hole in the hedge.Harry thrust his legs into the hole, kicking hard at the thick brambles and branches, until he finally opened a gap, and pushed his way through, tearing his robes.

Looking to the right, he saw Cedric was falling to the ground with his back against the fence, and Krum was lying face down on the grass not far away.

"Are you all right?" Harry asked hoarsely, stepping forward and grabbing Cedric's arm.

"It's all right," gasped Cedric, "it's all right...I can't believe it—he's sneaking up behind me...I hear it, turn around and he's pointing his wand at me..."

Cedric used his strength to stand up straight again, and his clothes were also cut a big hole by the thorns because of the dodge just now.They looked at Krum on the ground.

"It's unbelievable... I thought he was pretty good." Harry stared at Krum, his emerald green eyes filled with confusion.

"Me too." Cedric's face was a little more angry. He knew that Durmstrang did not restrict the teaching of black arts, but what he wanted to throw at himself just now was one of the Unforgivable Curses.

"Did you hear Fleur's cry?" Harry asked.

"Got it," said Cedric, "do you think Krum did it to her, too?"

"I don't know." Harry said slowly, pointing his wand at Krum on the ground again: "What should he do?"

Cedric gritted his teeth, bleeding from the wound on his back: "I have to admit that I kind of want to keep him here."

"No," said Harry, looking up at him, "I think we should fire red sparks and have someone come and get him off...or he might get eaten by a snail."

"He deserves it," muttered the auburn boy, but finally raised his wand, sending a string of red sparks into the air.Sparks surrounded Krum, marking his location.

The crowd outside the venue saw the second red spark light up in the night sky, and their hearts were also lifted. Rosalind felt that her heart was about to complete its life's work today. Sorrow and excitement took turns. There was some faint cramping.

Cedric and Harry stood speechless for a while in the dark, looking around: "Well... I think we'd better keep going..."

"Huh?" Harry couldn't react for a while, "Oh...yes...yes..."

It was a strange moment - he and Harry had been temporarily united because of Krum - and now the fact that they were rivals came back to Cedric's mind.The two walked silently on the dark path, then Harry turned to the left, Cedric hesitated and chose to turn to the right first.

The sound of Harry's footsteps disappeared quickly. Cedric wanted to try to heal himself, but the wound was a bit deep and the pain was still severe.

Cedric continued to walk forward with a directing spell, and now it was a contest between him and Harry.His desire and confidence to win the trophy are stronger than ever. Although Harry is the savior of the wizarding world, there is still a gap between his physical strength and magic spells.

But he still couldn't believe that Krum would do such a thing: using the Unforgivable Curse on people meant committing suicide in Azkaban for life.Does Klum want the Triwizard Cup that much?But even if he gets the trophy, he cannot escape the corresponding trial.

Cedric thought a little irritably, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The people in the stands were looking forward - it was Viktor Krum who was carried out.After Fleur Delacour he is also out.This means that only Cedric and Harry are left in the maze.

The cheers of the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs at the moment almost swept through the stands - or the Hogwarts students, because in the end, whoever of the two of them won the trophy, he represented It's Hogwarts' honor.

Cedric felt that his heart was hot, it was the temperature of the safety buckle.

Carefully taking it out from the neckline, Cedric kissed it devoutly, as if kissing his lover on the tip of his heart: "Wait for me, I can go back with the trophy right away."

The directional spell convinced him in the growing darkness that he was approaching the center of the maze.

He turned into a winding path again, and found movement again:

It was a hippogriff, but much bigger than Buckbeak.

Cedric bowed to Buckbeak as he did to Buckbeak, but it didn't return the same bow—even pawed the ground and tried to flap his wings at him.

The boy didn't linger when he saw this, and immediately turned around and ran back, but he suddenly felt something grab his ankle and pull him back violently.

It was the devil's net—he hadn't noticed these vines entangled in the hedge just now in the dim environment.

The whole person was sucked in, and the Hippogriff followed and spread its wings, looking like it wanted to bite off his head—the arms were tightly bound, and it was hard to breathe.

There was a momentary blank in Cedric's mind, but immediately he remembered the knowledge in the book: Devil's net is afraid of light.

"Fluorescence flashes!" He shouted with all his might, a beam of white light shot out from the tip of the staff, and the devil's net instantly released his confinement, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Harry turned left and right and always turned into a dead end for no reason—and now he met Cedric again.After being thrown unconscious by the big thing, he immediately dragged Cedric out of the alley.He even felt that he might have some strange connection with Cedric.

"Oh thank you, Harry." Cedric stretched his ankles while holding onto the hedge, and struggled to stand upright. His clothes seemed to have been rolled in the mud several times, and Harry's condition was not much better. Go, his glasses seemed to have several more cracks in the next second.

"Are you okay?" Harry slumped on the ground, gasping for breath to recover his breath. He glanced at Cedric, and suddenly felt a little envious in his heart—Rosalind had specially approached him before the match and asked him to compete. If you are really confronting Cedric, try not to hurt him; if he encounters any danger, just send a red spark signal to let him leave the field.

"Rosa is still waiting for you to go back." Harry looked at the jade leaking from his neck, feeling a little sore. How could she say such words to herself?Obviously Cedric is much stronger than him, and in terms of protection, it must be Cedric who protects him.

"Hmm..." Cedric also lowered his head and looked at the safety buckle again, which was filled with a faint soft light. "She's still waiting for me to go back."

Parting ways again, Harry met a sphinx - it gave him a riddle to guess, Cedric never met any magical creatures, another corner -

The Tri-Wind Cup shone seductively on the base 100 meters away.Surprise filled Cedric's gray eyes—he ran forward without hesitation.Suddenly, a black figure rushed over from the intersection on the left.

It's Harry.
