Chapter 629 The Second Event
On February 24th, one and a half hours before the start of the Top Ten Tournament,
a black rain,
Down at Hogwarts.
this!this--
People couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
McGuffin rubbed his eyes vigorously,
Shir!The world is getting more and more outrageous.
What's next...
Mr. Ke?
Just as McGuffin couldn't stop frantically vomiting bad things.
The emotions of the students who had been suppressed for a long time were directly detonated.
They are amazed, scared, terrified, curious...
There was a lot of discussion among the students. Some students left the auditorium directly, and some curiously lay in front of the large and amazing window in the dining room, watching the streams of rain gurgling outside, converging into thin black streams.
The ink-black traces are extremely vivid under the reflection of the pale lightning light again and again.
From the cracks in the rain marks and under the illumination of the dancing golden snake in the sky, McGuffin and the others could barely see that everything outside was submerged in the black rainstorm.
The door of the auditorium was pushed open suddenly.
Krum, Camilla Paula, Fleur, Donald Eastfork... A number of warriors from other schools, as well as student representatives, were wet and broke into the auditorium wearing jet black.
In the route they walked, black footprints and dots of rain were scattered everywhere on the ground.
They obviously don't know what's going on, and they looked surprised and eagerly cast a spell, trying to clean up the black rainwater stained on their bodies.
There were many Hogwarts students who got along well, and they immediately surrounded them together, asking what happened outside.
"The black rain... covered the entire Hogwarts Castle!"
"There is a big shadow emerging from the Forbidden Forest!... Can't see clearly... We don't know..."
Students from other countries were also trying to explain everything. They recalled some of the information they saw and tried their best to describe it.
At the end, Donald East Fork said directly,
"I saw a lot of Hogwarts and wizards from the Ministry of Magic appearing in this black rainstorm... It seems to be casting some kind of spell... I don't know if this is the second time it is not part of the competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, the warriors who had gathered to discuss this matter immediately confronted each other.
They stared at each other, sat in the farthest position, and carefully discussed all this with their friends and classmates.
The same was true for Harry, who was too nervous to eat from the very beginning.He could only rely on Hermione's conjecture to strengthen his confidence.
Rumble!
The black rainstorm was endless.
There was no way to stay outside, almost all the students, Hogwarts staff... rushed in from outside the oak door cursing.
In this black rain, Filch was the first to suffer a definite loss. After all, the traces left by the black rain in this place are not a joke.
He was going crazy watching all this.
But facing students from other schools, Filch didn't have the right to be locked up and deduct points.
This also caused a huge blow to his prestige. No matter how Filch threatened and appeased... he could not calm down the students of Hogwarts.
Many people even surrounded him, constantly asking him...Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, where are they.
It made him very embarrassed.
At this time, a serious voice suddenly came from outside the auditorium, which relieved Filch of his embarrassment.
"Quiet!"
Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared, and next to her were Snape with an extremely gloomy face, Crouch, and Professor Sybill Trelawney, whom everyone had rarely seen before.
"...don't be nervous...the black rain outside is the magic we taught..."
"This is to create the venue for the second event, and it was specially summoned with some kind of magic ritual."
Professor McGonagall's explanation not only did not suppress the doubts in the students' hearts, but made everyone more curious.
People's attention has been focused on these professors.
Fortunately, there was a Snape in front of Professor McGonagall who always had a livid face, which drove away a large number of students.
At least the Hogwarts students dare not surround it.
And the warriors of other magic schools still have their own questions that need to be answered.
Krum, Donald and several other warriors went up to ask why their principal or the person in charge of this competition had disappeared these days.
"Professor Aha Said, Professor Akinbad, and several other professors participated in a certain operation of Professor Dumbledore... During today's game, they will definitely appear as referees. Don't worry..."
Professor McGonagall explained, but she also turned her worried eyes on Wilktor Krum and said, "As for Principal Karkaroff... I really don't know where he went, and we are looking for it. Don't you students have any clues?"
"No, I have already reported this situation to Mr. Crouch." Krum said with a very ugly face.
Crouch nodded, indicating that there was indeed such a thing.
"Didn't Principal Karkaroff take part in Dumbledore's operation? He won't..." Krum guessed extremely worriedly, his tone was a bit fierce.
"Trust me, Wilket!" Snape took a step forward, with some kind of inexplicable sarcasm on his face, and replied bluntly and affirmatively, "Trust me, Karkaroff will never participate in that action, even if he asked...Dumbledore probably wouldn't agree."
"You say so, Mr. Crouch!"
Crouch nodded again.
"Okay,...we need to suspend these topics this time. In short, when the game starts, Mr. Karkaroff will definitely rush to the game field. Doesn't he value this game very much? Mr. Wilkdo Krum!"
Krum thought for a while, and felt that this was the case, so he retreated with the other warriors.
But Snape on the side had a sneer on his face, and the corners of his gloomy, sallow face hung slightly.
"Okay! Stop, don't talk...listen to me..."
Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and there was a loud explosion of air, which echoed continuously in the auditorium.
The shock made the other people's ears temporarily deaf, and there was a faint buzzing sound constantly echoing in the ear canal.
However, this deterrence made the noise in the entire auditorium disappear at once.
The entire restaurant was silent.
Professor McGonagall announced the next procedure for watching the game.
Students who want to watch the game must gather in the auditorium half an hour later and line up... led by the staff and professors... to watch the game.
The warriors were led by her herself and entered the competition venue.
"Some warriors better prepare your golden eggs! If you crack the secret... you will get a very unexpected harvest in this competition."
Harry looked at the imprint of the World Tree seedlings on the back of his hand, he couldn't guess... what kind of harvest they would get.
However, looking at the expressions and actions of most of the warriors, most of them seem to have cracked the secret of the golden egg and obtained the seedlings of this world tree.
And among them, only Donald Donfork, Nasser, and Mobutu didn't get the golden egg.
Doesn't this difference create some kind of unfairness in the game?
Harry thought so.
Afterwards, Professor McGonagall urged the students to finish breakfast quickly,
After she finished speaking, she took Crouch and the other professors to sit on a long table in the auditorium and started her own breakfast.
Time flies so fast for Harry... It just flies by in the blink of an eye.
After Professor McGonagall's previous announcement, he couldn't eat anything.
Only McGuffin procrastinated and started his own breakfast bit by bit. He was very full, and it seemed that his stomach was about to burst.
After George and Fred finished their cream sandwiches,
Professor McGonagall disappeared all the seats in the auditorium.
Then, let everyone bring their umbrellas, and walk out of the castle in a loose formation based on grades and colleges.
They came out into the continuous black rain.
The rain splattered on their black umbrellas, brushing along the edges of the umbrellas, leaving a black and black tail curtain.
Some even fell in and sprinkled on McGuffin's clothes.
Everyone held their umbrellas and glowed with magic wands... Walking in this dark world.Step by step towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
The original lawn outside the castle has now completely turned into a black quagmire.
The whole world is slightly fluorescent, and there is an indescribable weird feeling.
It seems to have become some kind of landscape painting drawn with ink.
Thick ink and light blue, misty rain... But it is a painting of a western castle.
This strange sense of detachment even made McGuffin stop and stay in place for a while to appreciate.
Almost left the team directly.
After waking up, he hurriedly galloped in the black rain like lightning, passed the black lake that was getting darker, passed the black ship of the Durmstrang School of Magic that was no longer visible, the Egyptian temple that had lost its golden light, and Beauxbaton's magic carriage...
I don't know if these things have been migrated out of here in advance.
McGuffin finally caught up with the team and came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
The scene here is even more peculiar.
It seems that the entire black rain area is divided into a circle forbidden area here.
All of them could clearly see a demarcation line established around this area in the Forbidden Forest.
The inside is filled with white mist, and the outside is black and the rainstorm is endless, falling from the sky.
At the very center of the Forbidden Forest, an extremely huge...like the terrifying giant plant that happened to McGuffin and the others in their second year was standing there.
That thing is still spreading its branches, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
McGuffin has a kind of exaggerated madness--
It seems that this black rain is used for it to absorb nutrients.
And around the tree, suspended hills were slowly floating towards them.
McGuffin didn't know how Harry and the others felt. Anyway, he was so surprised that he almost threw his umbrella, and wanted to wipe his eyes...to make sure that everything in front of him was true.
Harry had been separated from several of them.
Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, he entered the Forbidden Forest with other warriors, and the thick fog instantly covered them.
McGuffin watched their warriors disappear suddenly, feeling a sense of anxiety and fear in his heart.
The intuition in his mind suddenly reminded him that everything was wrong.
The undercurrent of the wizarding world is surging these days, all kinds of things happening at Hogwarts, Voldemort's disappearing Horcrux, Dumbledore's weird attitude towards it, and the true or false news in the magic newspapers...
It all exploded in his brain.
McGuffin was panting heavily, but the original plot was so out of control that he didn't know how it would develop.
He just had a strong feeling,
Something was bound to happen, and something bad was going to happen.
Especially for such an important event, Dumbledore...even most of the referees didn't show up.
When McGuffin hadn't figured out what was going on.
Professor McGonagall returned from the fog again.
And at this time, a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge's chief secretary...David Goodman suddenly appeared and argued with Professor McGonagall, as if talking about changes in the Ministry of Magic.
He also said that Dumbledore and the others would arrive later.
This dissatisfied Mrs. Maxim in front of her.She angrily waved her thick and big fists decorated with jeweled bracelets and rings.
After repeated persuasion, Mrs. Maxim seemed to have finally eased her anger.
She, Crouch, and Ludo Bagman and the rest of the referees... boarded an astonishingly large (but not as big as Beauxbaton's) black carriage, and flew directly to the largest floating island hanging above the sky.
At this time, McGuffin and the others realized that the floating islands were full of seats.
They are actually aerial stands.
Unbelievable.
Then, Professor McGonagall explained to everyone that these floating islands were formed by dismantling the large floating mountains brought by the Chinese wizards.
After a while, when the group of floating islands completely fell to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, which is more than ten meters above the white mist, they stopped.
Everyone lined up, cast a spell on themselves, grabbed the two iron chains that slid down from above, and strode up directly like this.
Everyone wants to see what it's like to be on a floating island, or a floating grandstand.
Even a Slytherin... a guy like DeLS Malfoy rarely said anything weird.
Finally, after all the students got on the stands of the floating islands, these small islands started to start slowly like some kind of ferry, and floated to the sky where no black rain fell in the Forbidden Forest.
McGuffin and the others looked down excitedly. The strange thing is... the white mist that originally obscured the sight of the Forbidden Forest suddenly disappeared in their eyes.
What's even more amazing is that they can even be like eagles, able to directly see the warriors' every move in the Forbidden Forest directly above these hundreds of meters...
