The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

He has been preparing for this project for a long time. He believed that the "gift" he carefully prepared would definitely surprise the warriors. So when the volunteers were brought to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Tom directly raised his hand to signal to Professor Flitwick.

"What's the matter, Yodel?"

"I need to go to Hagrid's hut."

Professor Flitwick was a little puzzled, but he didn't embarrass his student. He waved his hand: "Go back quickly, don't waste too much time."

So Tom got a little free time.

He quickly ran to Hagrid's hut. At this time, Hagrid had put on a brown suit and was standing at the door of the cabin with a serious look on his face.

"Can I borrow Buckbeak?" Tom made his intention clear before Hagrid could say anything.

"Well, of course, but you want to—"

Before Hagrid could finish asking, Tom's figure disappeared. He quickly ran to Hagrid's pumpkin patch and found Buckbeak napping in the field.

After Buckbeak was acquitted, he stayed with Hagrid and was fed and fed by Hagrid. In return, it will also guard the pumpkin patch and the henhouse for Hagrid, killing those animals that have evil intentions against the pumpkins and hens.

Tom's arrival alarmed Buckbeak. He raised his head and looked at this somewhat familiar person with his big orange eyes.

Tom bowed to him first, and after receiving a response, he came to Buckbeak and unfastened his bridle.

Although one person and one beast had known each other last year, creatures like hippogriffs were very pretentious. The last bow I took has now expired! If you want to strike up a conversation, you have to go through the process all over again.

"Come join me in the Triwizard Tournament!" Tom said with anticipation, stroking Buckbeak's feathers.

Under the influence of the Exquisite Ball, Buckbeak understood Tom's words.

Although he didn't quite understand what the Triwizard Tournament was, Buckbeak could see that Tom wanted to take him out of the melon field and go for a walk.

That's not a bad thing, Buckbeak thought. So it raised its wings and agreed to Tom's proposal.

When Tom led Buckbeak back to the group of volunteers, most of the people's expressions changed.

"What is this?" A Beauxbatons girl couldn't help but ask.

"Hypogriff."

"I know, but why can you compete with it?!"

Tom held Buckbeak's halter, keeping a safe distance from the group of volunteers, lest they get too close and anger the proud creature.

"Why not? There is no such thing as a prohibition on carrying mounts in the competition rules, right?" Tom replied with a smile.

other people:……

It seems like there really is no prohibition!

Everyone looked at Tom with much complicated expressions: How can this man survive so well? !

Before everyone has digested the news they just learned, you started making trouble?

"Is this really okay?" Madam Maxime looked at the hippogriff, which was obviously not easy to mess with, and her expression was not very good.

"There is indeed no rule prohibiting volunteers from doing this." Ludo Bagman shrugged, feeling that Tom's operation was not illegal.

Then, together with other professors, we took the volunteers to every corner of the Forbidden Forest.

…

Most students had no idea what was happening outside the Forbidden Forest.

As usual, they got up, washed up, and then went to the auditorium to have breakfast with their friends. When we arrived at the auditorium, we gradually learned the news: the volunteers had already set off for the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone suddenly became excited.

"I just said the competition will be held in the Forbidden Forest!"

"Why? This is too dangerous!" Some of the more rational little wizards criticized this location, but most students didn't care.

"The Triwizard Tournament is inherently dangerous."

"Didn't the Ministry of Magic make very thorough preparations?"

"I don't think it's a big deal in the Forbidden Forest. I snuck in there when I was in first grade..."

The students noticed a problem: The competition is held in the Forbidden Forest, so how can everyone watch the competition? Follow the deans into the Forbidden Forest? This speculation makes everyone a little nervous, because if the speculation is true, everyone will enter the Forbidden Forest!

The little wizards were chatting away, but Cedric's face turned stiff as he was surrounded by his classmates.

Why is it the Forbidden Forest? Didn’t I say that the first project was the fire dragon?

Whether it was Professor Karkaroff, Mrs. Maxim or Professor Sprout, they all helped them analyze the content of the first project after "explaining the questions" to the warriors in their schools.

The final conclusion was that they would have to deal with the fire dragon on the Quidditch pitch for a while. It was their guess that the venue for the game would be the Quidditch pitch, because it was the best place to watch the game and also convenient for rescue.

But now the information conflicts with my own speculation! This is very troublesome!

Cedric was in a state of confusion, and what was even more uncomfortable was that his friends were still chatting beside him, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"...Some people saw Yodel among the volunteers today. I'm so envious!"

These words floated into Cedric's ears, causing him to wake up instantly.

That person also joined the volunteer team! The flames at the World Cup finals left a deep impression on Cedric. In his heart, Tom's strength is unfathomable.

Is it possible to get help from Tom? Cedric calculated.

"Digory, now the warriors have to gather at Hagrid's hut... You must be ready to complete the first project." While Cedric's brain was running rapidly, Professor Sprout said towards him. He came over in a hurry.

The exchange between the two attracted the attention of many people.

"Okay." Cedric stood up and accidentally knocked over the cup in his hand, making a clanging sound.

"Good luck."

"come on!"

"You will win!"

The classmates nearby cheered Cedric on. Cedric tried his best to smile, saying that he would live up to everyone's expectations. It's just that this smile is so stiff that it looks like it was carved into it.

Cedric left the auditorium with Professor Sprout. It can be seen that Professor Sprout is also very nervous. She and Cedric came to the lawn outside the castle together. The weather had turned cold and there was even white frost hanging on the lawn.

"Okay, don't be nervous," Professor Sprout put his hand on Cedric's shoulder, "Just perform normally. I believe in your strength... There is no need to worry about safety. The Ministry of Magic has made some arrangements. If the situation arises, Oops, don’t be stingy with using these back-ups..."

Cedric simply said yes, indicating that he understood.

"One more thing, after the game starts, you can try your luck near the Whomping Willow." After giving the necessary instructions, Professor Sprout said this.

Cedric cast a confused look, but his dean remained silent and walked with his head down.

Cedric gradually understood what the Dean meant.
