The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Fleur raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that she still had a choice in this situation.

"If I help you find Miss Granger, will you give me any reward?" she asked tentatively.

"Of course there are rewards. If Hermione agrees, I can join your team and help you win the first project. If you just find Hermione, then I will return the original treasures in the treasure box to you. ——That’s the treasure chest guarded by the fire dragon.”

Tom did not deceive Fleur. He really intended to hand over the contents of Norbert's treasure chest to Fleur, including the magic ring fragments.

After hearing what Tom said, Fleur's breathing quickened.

He has been completely defeated, but he still has a chance to make a comeback? This is simply like being pushed off the base in the game and then the opponent initiates a summation.

Listening to what Tom said, he didn't object to joining his side? This is amazing!

"I've obviously already——"

"Almost losing?" Tom said what Fleur didn't say, "But this is another matter. There are two ways to get the treasures I have here. One is to defeat me. The other is to complete my test. Let me join your team, so that what I collect will naturally be yours."

Furong:......

It turns out there is such an operation!

She was blinded by anger and tried to use force to solve the problem, without even thinking about taking advantage of the situation.

"Okay, I agree," Fleur nodded, "I hope you will keep your promise. But can you reveal how many treasures you have now?"

"Two magic ring fragments, a map, and a few useless props." Perhaps because he was afraid that the conditions he offered were not attractive enough, Tom added: "I will continue to search for treasures while you are away. , the final number may be a little higher.”

To prove his sincerity, Tom also took out the two magic ring fragments he had obtained and showed them to Fleur.

Damn it? ! When Fleur saw the fragments, there was only one word left in her mind.

It's also sad to say that this is the first time Furong has seen the magic ring fragment since the start of the competition.

She looked at the two fragments, one large and one small, and her eyes lit up: The fragment in Yoder's hand was so big! The reward for getting this kind of fragment must be quite high.

Fleur took a deep breath to keep herself calm.

"I will definitely find Miss Granger. I hope your fragments will still be there by then." Fleur noticed that Tom had just used the word "you", so he must have awarded the task of finding Hermione more than once.

The worst-case scenario is that the other two warriors take on the mission.

"Last question, why did you insist on finding Miss Granger?" Before leaving, Fleur asked a question in a narrow-minded manner.

"Asking knowingly." Tom rolled his eyes at her.

Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. People like you who have never been in love don't understand.

I really want to see my girlfriend! Tom shouted in his heart.

Fleur showed a bright smile, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

After sending Fleur away, Tom can do divination without being disturbed.

So what is Hermione doing now that many people are worried about her? The girl was leaning under a tree, flipping through the books in her hands. Not far behind her was a tent that had been pitched. The first project may last a long time, during which time volunteers sleep in tents handed out by professors.

Hermione was a little lucky that she picked up a copy of "The Fifth Element: Exploration" before going to Dumbledore's office - this is a book on charms and a supplementary textbook for sixth grade spells class - otherwise She's probably going to get moldy here.

Hermione had not been seen since Professor McGonagall left. It seemed like she was the only one left in the entire forbidden forest. Staying in such a dark forest, Hermione couldn't help but recall various legends and stories, which made her even more flustered, so she planned to read a book to pass the time and distract her attention.

Time seemed to slow down. Hermione felt that she had been reading for a long time, but when she looked at her watch, the hour hand had only moved a short distance. She couldn't help but sigh: She didn't usually feel that time was so long.

The cause of this phenomenon is loneliness. In the dense forest, Hermione was isolated from the outside world, and all she could see was the endless forest. In a sense, she lost her hearing and vision, which was an extremely painful experience.

A variety show in the non-magical world once did a challenge - they invited guests to a completely enclosed house with sufficient food and water, and the guests had to live alone there for a month. The $500,000 bonus can be claimed in one month. This is what the challenge is. Guests are allowed to bring one personal item into the room—but not an item that communicates with the outside world, such as a cell phone or computer.

Such a seemingly challenge has never been successfully challenged from the beginning to the end of the program.

The reason is simple, humans are social animals. People will go crazy if they are isolated from society for a long time. Not to mention the situation without Internet, even if there is Internet and roommates, if normal people are locked up in a room for three months, they will almost collapse - they can still go downstairs for ventilation every now and then!

People often joke about putting authors in a dark room to code. In fact, this approach is not very efficient. Those pigeon spirits will become depressed if they stay in a dark room all the time. A depressed pigeon spirit cannot write even if he is beaten with a whip. The correct approach is to provide these pigeons with delicious food, drink and fun to make them happy. In this way, the pigeons will be full of inspiration, and there will naturally be more updates.

Hermione was human, and it was normal for her to find it difficult. The girl put the book aside, curled her legs and hugged her knees, looking up at the sky.

She wanted to know where Tom had gone and what had become of him. When she was alone, she missed Tom even more. Hermione thought about leaving here and going somewhere else, but she quickly gave up the idea because it was too dangerous.

This is the Forbidden Forest!

Hermione took a deep breath, suppressed her restless heart, and prepared to read a few more pages of the textbook. But after putting her hand on the cover of the book, she hesitated: she didn't really want to read right now.

So she returned to her dazed state, gently twisting the black stockings on her calves with her fingers.

He likes this the most... Should I change to a new pair of stockings after the game, or should I go see him wearing this old pair of socks? Some random things came to Hermione's mind, which made her face turn red quickly.

She is a serious girl, she just wants her boyfriend to try her new wine! Yes, that’s it!

"The man is smiling, which is not a good thing. The woman's face is red and she is thinking about her husband. I think this little girl must be thinking about something she shouldn't be thinking." A greasy voice suddenly sounded, shocking Hermione like a bunny. He jumped up and held the handle of his wand warily.

Two boys wearing Durmstrang school uniforms emerged from the woods not far away.

Hermione frowned. From the looks of it, they should also be volunteers for the first project.

"Why are you here? I remember Professor Dumbledore said that volunteers should not leave their station."

One of the boys with semi-long curly hair shook his finger at Hermione rather frivolously, and said to Hermione in English with a strong accent: "I want to correct a mistake. Mr. Dumbledore suggested that we not leave the station. , and we will not give up the order - we will abide by the order, any suggestions..."

He grinned: "I'm too lazy to listen."

The boy who spoke first took out a piece of parchment from his arms and waved it to Hermione: "Among the things I got, there happened to be a fragment of a map. I followed the guidance of the fragment to find Anthony, and I also gained something. Got a lot of good stuff.”

"After we meet Krum, we can hand over all these supplies to him. With such merit, the principal will definitely reward us." He proudly told Hermione his plan.

It turned out that after being sent to the Forbidden Forest, while waiting boringly, some volunteers got into trouble. Dumbledore did not prohibit volunteers from free activities, so individual volunteers used the resources and information at hand to search for more supplies. In this way, they can have more self-protection capabilities when facing warriors from other schools, and even kill the warriors. If you meet a warrior from our school, they can help as much as possible.

A flash of displeasure flashed across Hermione's face. She admitted that the two Durmstrang students were really good at exploiting loopholes. She looked at the proud boy and said coldly: "I'll give you a glass of wine, or a bib, to prevent you from dripping soup all over your robe?"

She had an impression of this boy as a rude and impolite guy. Every time he ate, he would drip the soup on the front of his robe. On the day he first arrived at Hogwarts, he asked Karkaroff for a drink, but Karkaroff naturally refused and got scolded.

Hermione's words stung the boy. His face was livid, and he was furious. He wanted to have an attack but was stopped by Anthony.

"Be quiet, Polyarco," the student named Anthony told his companion to shut up. He looked at Hermione and said in a lazy tone: "I remember you have a piece of the magic ring, hand it over—— Don't even think about denying it, I watched you stuff it into your robe in the castle."

Hermione pursed her lips and remained silent.

Poliarco narrowed his eyes and looked at Hermione, "Anthony, it seems that Miss Granger doesn't want to cooperate with us. Why don't you let me do a search? Don't worry, I'm the best at mastering force, and I definitely won't do it. I love you - speaking of little sister, do you have a boyfriend?"

"I think so. She was very close to that Yodel before." Anthony said thoughtfully.

Poliarco's expression froze, Yoder couldn't afford to offend him.

"Don't worry, this place is deserted, just the two of us... When the Forgetting Curse is used, who knows what will happen." Anthony comforted his partner.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Hermione's face became serious. These two people here today are evil.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Collapse!"

"Armor protection!"

The next moment, both sides took action. Hermione reacted very quickly and cast an Iron Armor Curse, which deflected the disarming and stun spells of Anthony and Poliarco.

"Good skill!" Anthony dodged Hermione's counterattack spell, but Poliarco was less lucky. The spell that Anthony dodged hit Polyarco's arm, and his wand came out of his hand. , fell into the grass behind him.

Anthony didn't care about the state of his teammates. With a wave of his magic wand, the surrounding trees became "bald" and thousands of leaves flew into the air.

The surface of these leaves is covered with a thin layer of frost, which makes the leaves extremely hard and the edges are as sharp as a knife.

"Go!" Anthony pointed at Hermione with his wand, and the storm of blades composed of leaves rolled towards Hermione.

Hermione didn't dare to neglect: "The flames are blazing!"

A stream of flames surged out from the tip of her staff, forming a wall of fire in front of her, blocking the flying leaves outside the wall. Encountering flames, the frost on the leaves melted rapidly, and the leaves returned to their soft appearance.

During the confrontation between the two, Polyarco finally found his wand and cast a cutting spell on Hermione.

Hermione quickly leaned down to dodge, dodging the spell to the best of her ability, but the corners of her clothes were also scratched with several cracks by the sharp ice leaves.

Hermione sighed secretly: She was still careless. She hadn't done anything for too long and her skills were a bit rusty... Next time, she must be more serious!

"This girl is difficult to deal with." Poliarco stood next to Anthony with a serious expression. Poliarco himself is a seventh-grade student, and Anthony is Durmstrang's current student council president. Polyarco thinks that dealing with a fourth-grade little witch is easy. The only difficulty is how to prevent her from escaping with the portkey. . But Hermione was more difficult than they expected. Even with one against two, she never lost, and even had an advantage for a time.

"It's my turn, birds!" Hermione turned the fallen leaves on the ground into a flock of birds and shot them like bullets, forcing them to scramble.

Hermione, who had regained her fighting spirit, was very strong and completely suppressed Anthony and Poliarco.

"Use that!" Anthony shouted, and Poliarco immediately took out a chess piece and threw it to the ground.

"Grow big quickly!"

The chess piece quickly became life-size under the influence of the spell, and blocked Hermione's bird attack for the two of them.

With such a human shield, the two finally regained the upper hand.

This chess piece can resist Hermione's spells, even the explosive curses.

In the end, Hermione could only take out the wings made by Tom and put them on. The wings slowly unfolded and formed a thin breastplate on the chest, bringing Hermione into the air.

Antony, Polyarco:? ? ?

What is this? !

Just when the two of them were shocked, Hermione moved. She moved behind the two of them at an extremely fast speed, and threw out a Stunning Curse and a Locking Tongue Curse.

Anthony and Polyarco felt their eyes blurred, and the next moment Anthony was hit by the coma spell, rolled his eyes and fainted. Polyarco let out a scream of pain, his tongue was tied up, and he could no longer use his words.

In just a few seconds, Hermione defeated the two uninvited guests.
