When the time finally came to the day of the second competition, Harry had mastered the Bubble Curse very proficiently, and Ron could basically use a few offensive spells, so I believe he would be competent to assist Harry.Early in the morning, Harry went to the lake alone, leaving only Hermione, Ginny and Ron waiting in the Gryffindor tower, ready to go directly to the auditorium to watch later.

Both Ron and Hermione kept guessing about Harry's favorite thing, wondering what it might be.Ron said without hesitation that it must be Harry's Firebolt.Only Ginny didn't participate in the discussion, she just smiled very strangely on the sidelines, and secretly glanced at Ron from time to time, so that Ron, who had always been a little belatedly, noticed her abnormality, and looked left and right at him suspiciously, But I didn't find anything wrong with myself.

The baby of the so-called warrior Harry will be soaked in the lake for an hour, Ginny thought gloatingly, and waited for all the referees to arrive.She believed that someone would come to give an explanation to the "babies" of the warriors and let them drink the stun potion or something.As for breakfast today, she secretly added a little sobriety medicine to Ron's milk, which would make him wake up earlier at the bottom of the lake.It's just that Ron still doesn't master the Bubble Curse very well, but she thinks that shouldn't be a big problem, and Harry should be able to help him cast it successfully.

She was thinking wildly by herself, when a shrill voice suddenly remembered, "Harry—is Harry Potter still there?"

After hearing the sound, the three of them lowered their heads together, looked in surprise at the house elf who was jumping up and down with his hands up, trying to get their attention, and asked in puzzlement, "Dobby, why are you here?"

"Dobby is here to look for Harry Potter." Dobby said out of breath with anxious expressions in his big bulb-like eyes, "Is Harry Potter still there? Dobby has something Give it to him, it can help him pass the game smoothly." As he said, he raised his hand and stretched his arm hard, trying to let them see what he was holding clearly.

Ginny and Hermione looked at each other suspiciously, and then Hermione carefully twisted a ball in Dobby's hand: "Dobby, what is this?" She looked at the ball like countless slippery sticks. , gray-green mouse tail, asked puzzledly.

"Gill weed!" After seeing that strange thing, Ginny thought for a while, and immediately understood, "It must be the gill weed I mentioned to you!"

Hermione took this lump under her nose and sniffed it, then twisted it with her hands carefully, and finally nodded: "That's right, it should be the gills that allow people to grow gills and breathe underwater. Saccharomyces." As she spoke, she glanced at Dobby, "You want to give this to Harry? But he has already gone to the game, you are late."

"Then hurry up and send it to him." Dobby looked anxious, "Give him this, and he will be able to save his beloved, otherwise Harry Potter will not be able to breathe underwater. .”

Ron leaned over, glanced curiously at the unremarkable gill grass, and then smiled at the anxious elf: "Uh, Dobby, don't worry, Harry has a way to pass the competition, it doesn't matter if he doesn't need this. "

"Really?" Dobby looked at Ron uncertainly, then turned to look at Hermione, obviously he also knew that Hermione was always the one who gave the idea, and her words were more reliable.

"Yes." Seeing Dobby looking at her, Hermione nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, Dobby, Harry will definitely win."

"That's good, then Dobby will go back first." Dobby seemed a little disappointed that he didn't help Harry, but he was also a little happy for the news that Harry would definitely win, so the expression on his face was a little uncertain While changing, he muttered to himself, "Dobby is going back to Mr. Black first, he will be in a hurry if he can't find me." Obviously he must be begging Sirius this time, let him take him with him Came to see Harry play at Hogwarts.

"By the way, wait a minute, Dobby." Ginny suddenly remembered the most suspicious question, "How do you know this can help Harry? Who told you, where did you come from, this cheek weed, is it someone?" For you?" Ginny hurriedly asked a series of questions, and the person who told Dobby everything and gave him the gills should be the person sent by Voldemort.

"Dobby can't tell. Dobby promised not to tell others." Dobby shook his head again and again. "That is also a person who admires Harry very much, but he is very shy and refuses to let me tell others his name."

"Dobby, you tell us, we can also go thank him." Ginny still did not give up and said, while Ron and Hermione looked at her action a little strangely, not understanding why she had to know Who was that person who secretly helped Harry.Ron even gently pulled Ginny: "Ginny, she is also very kind, so it's fine if she doesn't want to say her name. Maybe she helped Harry secretly, and you don't want others to know?"

Seeing Ron's ambiguous smile on his face, Ginny immediately understood that he might have secretly helped some Harry as an admirer, and her appearance was also taken by him as she was jealous .She shook her head helplessly: "Ron, where are you thinking, it's not what you thought." She looked at Dobby again with hope, "Dobby, we won't say it, we just want to thank you Give that person a look."

"No, no, you don't need to thank you." Dobby waved his hands, "I'm going first, I'm going to watch the game with Mr. Black. I want to see Harry Potter win the game with my own eyes." , he immediately Apparated, without Ginny even having time to stop him.

Seeing Dobby's disappearing back, Ginny could only sit down dejectedly, leaning on the back of the chair and sighing.At Hogwarts, only house-elves could Apparate, so she didn't have time to keep Dobby, and Dobby was a free elf, and not even Sirius could force him to say things he didn't want to say.Therefore, the only thing that can be determined now is that the person who sent the gills must have known Dobby, and the number of people he knows is limited. Perhaps, we can only see if there are any clues from here.

Hermione didn't know the problems Ginny was worried about. She was looking at the gills in her hand very interestingly: "This is a very precious plant. Harry won't be able to use it now, so why don't we keep it?"

By the way, you can give this to Ron, and when he regains consciousness from the bottom of the lake, he can swallow this directly, saving himself and Harry's magic power to use the Bubble Curse.Ginny suddenly thought of this method, took the gills from Hermione, and was about to hand it to Ron while explaining how to use it, but not far away, Dumbledore walked straight towards them , Behind him, there are four referees, Bagman, Claude, Karkaroff and Madam Maxim.Umbridge, who was still dressed in pink lace, followed behind, looking back and forth at them with a scrutinizing gaze.

And following at the end of the team was Tom who hadn't seen him for several days.He still had that calm demeanor, but when he looked at Ginny, his eyes suddenly became a little colder.The chill in his eyes made Ginny suddenly have a bad premonition, but he didn't know what happened, which made him have such an expression, so he could only secretly guard against possible situations.

When Dumbledore and the others approached, because they thought they were here to explain the situation to Ron, Ginny turned sideways cooperatively and let Ron behind him.But unexpectedly, Dumbledore didn't look at Ron, but walked up to her and stopped: "Miss Weasley, we may need your cooperation regarding Harry's match." He paused , seemed to be thinking about how to explain it to her, and then continued, "According to the choice of the Goblet of Fire, you are Harry's most beloved thing, so we need to put you under the black lake and wait for him to rescue you."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Ron and Hermione looked at Ginny in surprise, and Ginny was also a little surprised that Harry's baby had changed from Ron to herself.After a short shock, Hermione was the first to react: "Professor Dumbledore, will Ginny be in danger? If, I mean if—" She also seemed a little unwilling to have this happen, " If Harry fails, will Ginny really not be able to come back?"

"Oh, of course not, children!" Dumbledore smiled kindly at them, "This is just a test for the brave, and we will control the situation. Please believe me, in an hour, Weasley Miss will definitely come back unharmed."

Ron blushed, looked at Ginny, and then at Dumbledore. He always respected Dumbledore so that he never doubted the elder's words, but his concern for his sister made him feel worried. This puts Ginny in danger.After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Professor Dumbledore, what should Ginny do? Does she also need to participate in the fight with the mermaid?"

Hearing Ron's words, Dumbledore knew that they must have known all about the content of the game, so he blinked mischievously: "No, no, Miss Weasley just needs to drink this bottle of stun potion, and wait for the potion to wear off." That's it, everything is over." He said, and he handed out a bottle of potion in a crystal bottle.

It seems that she must participate, but this is also good, since she is involved, then she can accompany Harry the whole time to prevent possible accidents and dangers from happening.Ginny took a deep breath, and looked at Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, can you wait for me a moment? I need to add some clothes, after all, I'm going to the icy lake. As for this potion—— She pointed to the crystal bottle that Dumbledore handed over, "I'll drink it when I come out."

"Okay, you go, Miss Weasley." Dumbledore nodded.And Crouch behind him said impatiently: "You need to hurry up, Miss Weasley, and there are several other treasures of the warriors, we also need to notify them one by one."

"I understand, please wait a moment!" After Ginny finished speaking, she immediately returned to the dormitory, took out the remaining awakening potion from the drawer, and poured it all into her mouth.Fortunately, she made a little more at the beginning, so there is still some leftover, otherwise, if she thought it was Ron and gave him all the drinks, she would not be able to wake up in time.And now this amount should allow her to wake up within a quarter of an hour after entering the bottom of the lake.As for after waking up—thinking of this, she took out the gills weed that she had hastily hidden in the pocket of her robe just now. Relying on this magical herb, she could save even the magic power of using the bubble head curse, and do her best to help Harry succeed. Passed the game.

After making all the preparations, Ginny returned to the common room again.Everyone was still waiting for her, and Tom, who stood at the end, didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but on the seemingly calm surface, there was always a chill in his eyes, which made Ginny a little confused. palpitations.But she knew that Tom would not really do anything dangerous. After all, he still needed Harry to enter the final and lead out the main soul's plan.In that case, even if he has some small movements, it should be within the controllable range.

After sorting out all the situation, under the surveillance of everyone, Ginny smiled reassuringly at Ron and Hermione who were looking at her with some concern, then took the stun potion in Dumbledore's hand, and drank it with her head up , and immediately lost all consciousness.
