Chapter 1041 Harry's Decision
The second event of the Triwizard Tournament will be held underwater, in what can only be the dark-hued Black Lake.
Vincent was not only concerned about the location. He and Hermione gave Harry a lot of advice, such as learning to swim as soon as possible and finding a way to breathe underwater.
Before leaving, he did not forget to restore the golden egg.
"Harry——" Hermione, who had returned, looked at him hesitantly.
Her expression was extremely complicated, both sad and helpless, as if she was suppressing something.
"It's okay." Her expression slowly softened. "We can't help you. You need to think carefully about how to successfully pass the second project."
"Okay, I will." Harry held the golden egg with a little confusion on his face.
Hermione clearly had something very important to tell him, so why didn't she say it in the end?
He looked down at the golden egg that had become heavy in his arms, and felt that what she wanted to say was related to the clues he had cracked.
There were four warriors in total, and only he succeeded in taking the golden egg. The other three, without any clues, would most likely not be able to move freely underwater and could only watch their "most beloved treasure" disappear forever in the Black Lake on the shore.
Harry's eyes flickered, and his face showed anxiety and confusion. He seemed to guess what Hermione wanted to say when she came back just now.
Although Sirius didn't say it explicitly, it was not difficult to see his concern from the usual video communications.
The Triwizard Tournament has been full of surprises since its inception. The Warriors participated in the second event without any preparation. If an accident unfortunately occurred...
Harry's hands gradually loosened their grip on the golden egg.
Before he solved the puzzle and got the clues, he was actually mentally prepared to adapt to the situation when the time came.
Now that he had a clue, he felt an invisible pressure instead.
He didn't want anything to happen to the other three warriors from the bottom of his heart. If they were injured because they were unprepared, he felt that he would definitely feel guilty and blame himself.
How exactly?
Should we tell them the clue?
Hesitantly, Harry opened the magic communicator.
Soon, Sirius' face appeared, "Harry? Wait for me a moment."
On the projection screen, he was in a shabby tavern, and in front of him were some young wizards who were trying desperately to squeeze in.
"This is a filming location, everyone outside please get out now!"
His shout not only failed to drive away the wizards, but made them rush in even more frantically.
Harry looked at the chaos in the light screen and frowned even deeper.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Sirius could only draw his wand and point it at them, "This is my last warning. If you don't back off, don't blame me for using some extreme measures!"
Although the wizards stopped trying to squeeze in, they still gathered at the door and refused to leave.
There is no other way but this.
Sirius spoke to a member of the crew and walked down the stairs to a more secluded cellar in the tavern.
"Harry, why are you contacting me at this time? Did something happen?"
Unlike his impatience just now, his face is now full of worry.
Harry shook his head, "It's nothing really, it's just that the puzzle of the golden egg was solved. Vincent and Hermione helped me solve it."
Sirius was visibly relieved, "Is that so? What's the clue inside?"
Harry briefly explained the content of the lyrics, without any joy on his face, "Godfather, I see you seem very busy, why don't we talk tonight."
"it is good."
Sirius watched the light curtain disappear bit by bit, and he had a hunch that something must have happened to Harry, or something he didn't know how to tell him.
He lit up the projection screen again and pointed to Vincent's portrait in the address book.
It took a long time before the video call was connected.
In the light curtain, Vincent was standing at the foot of a high mountain deep in the Forbidden Forest, apparently drawing a new map.
Sirius got straight to the point, asking him if he knew what was on Harry's mind.
"Well, I'll let Hermione tell you."
Hermione hesitated for a moment, but still told him about her previous return.
Harry was not stupid, he should have guessed what she wanted to say.
Sirius did not blame her. The repeated accidents in the Triwizard Tournament were all caused by those damn Death Eaters. Even if she and Vincent successfully caught the man when the Goblet of Fire was tampered with, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be other Death Eaters sneaking into the campus.
It was undoubtedly kind of Harry, who was unaware of the exact truth, to realize this, and he ended the communication hastily probably because he had already made his own decision.
"I wonder what decision Harry will make..."
Sirius's expression was very complicated.
Of course he hoped that Harry could gain an advantage in the second task and pass it smoothly, but he didn't want Harry to become a selfish person who only cared about his own interests.
"Ah..." He sighed heavily, "Let's leave it at that for now. I still have a lot of things to deal with here."
Vincent hung up the call and gently hugged Hermione, who was hanging her head. "Didn't we say that we would catch that damn Death Eater with our own hands?"
Her confused eyes brightened up, "Yes, we will definitely catch him!"
At the same time, on the 5th floor of Hogwarts Castle.
Harry stopped at the door of the Black Swan Club's activity room, holding a neatly folded piece of parchment in his hand.
Without much mental struggle, he walked straight into the luxurious room.
"Potter!" Draco, who was leisurely sitting at the round table sipping tea, almost jumped up, "What are you doing here? Are you lost without Weasley as your guide dog?"
Crabbe and Gower burst into laughter.
Harry quickly glanced at the black swans whose faces were full of sarcasm and ridicule, and walked quickly to the round table with a little anger, "Malfoy, I'm not here to cause trouble."
He dropped the parchment in his hand, "This is the clue to the golden egg."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Stand still!" Draco narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I'd be stupid enough to believe you?"
Harry turned around and stared into his eyes full of disdain. "Whether you read it or not is up to you. Whether you believe me or not is also up to you. Anyway, I have given you the clue."
The Black Swans laughed even louder, and only Draco watched Harry leave in confusion.
They are rivals, would Pote really be so kind?
"Huh..." Pansy sneered and threw the folded parchment into the trash can, "You're so despicable to do anything to win!"
Amid their laughter, Draco squatted in front of the trash can, which was uncharacteristic of him.
"Draco?"
He said nothing, but put the parchment he picked up into his pocket.
