Chapter 1085 The Last Project
Final exams mark the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation.
A whole day passed, the top students were comparing answers with each other, while the poor students were discussing their summer vacation plans.
Of course, most of the students were discussing the Triwizard Tournament that evening.
Today's dinner is particularly sumptuous, just like the Christmas ball, with many traditional French and German dishes.
However, no matter how delicious the food is, it is difficult to arouse the students' appetite. The pink figure at the long staff table is really unappetizing. Perhaps only those who really work hard can ignore her.
Fudge, who was sitting next to Dumbledore, had a stern face and said nothing the whole time. He was probably thinking about how to ban the "dubidubi" platform.
Old Barty was as serious as ever, but Madame Maxime and Karkaroff looked troubled, obviously disgusted by Rita's daytime news program.
As the enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall turned from blue to a dark purple twilight, Dumbledore stood up from his position in the middle of the long staff table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes I will invite you all to the Quidditch field to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament."
He nodded slightly to the serious-looking old Batty, "Now please ask the warriors to follow Mr. Crouch to the sports field."
Amidst warm applause, the four warriors followed old Batty out of the castle.
Time passed quickly and the professors led their students out of the castle.
The huge maze that was originally supposed to be placed in the Forbidden Forest was moved to the Quidditch field. Under the soft moonlight, it emitted a pink light as dazzling as daylight. Everyone recalled Rita's expression of unable to hold back laughter in the show.
When it comes to disappointing people, the British Ministry of Magic never disappoints.
Vincent and his friends suppressed their nausea and sat down in the stands. Through the projection screen that was being tested on site, they could clearly see that the professors were all in a bad mood.
McGonagall pursed her lips and clenched her hands, Flitwick didn't dare to look directly at the maze, Sprout had a dissatisfied look on his face with a droopy mouth, and even Snape had a dying expression.
Umbridge is undoubtedly a top-notch character. She can disgust a lot of people just by painting the maze with her own color.
While the staff was still debugging the live broadcast equipment, Rita started the live broadcast on her personal channel on time.
She deliberately selected several questions about the Ministry of Magic in the comment section to respond to, and every word was filled with strong dissatisfaction and extremely aggressive.
"Why was The Prophet incorporated into the Ministry of Magic? Because we said something we shouldn't have said and were maliciously targeted."
"Is the Ministry of Magic really that terrible? Believe me, they are far more outrageous than you can imagine."
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the global live broadcast will start on time.
Rita did not answer any more questions, but instead watched the live broadcast with the audience.
As soon as the big pink maze appeared, she made exaggerated vomiting movements.
"Sorry, audience friends, I just couldn't help myself after seeing this thing with my own eyes."
After all, there were only a few wizards watching her live broadcast, but the viewing experience of the pink maze could not be said to be good. Wizards who did not have any physiological reactions were already considered to be strong inside.
The scene then switched to old Barty with a serious face. He held his wand against his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"
His tone was somewhat bland, lacking the infectious power of Bagman that could easily stir the audience's emotions.
"Before the game starts, let me report the current score.
First place, Harry Potter of Hogwarts, with a total score of 87 points, ranked first.
Second place, Viktor Krum of Durmstrang, with a total score of 62 points.
Third place, Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons, with a total score of 59 points. "
Old Barty paused, waiting for the applause to die down a bit, and then said, "Finally, the fourth place winner is Draco Malfoy from Hogwarts, with a total score of 40 points."
There was no doubt that Harry was leading by a large margin. He was the only warrior who passed the first event smoothly, and the judges had no way of giving him low scores specifically.
"Now--" Old Batty took out a whistle from his pocket, "Warrior Potter, listen to my whistle!"
The countdown was three, two, one, and with a short whistle, Harry hurried towards the dark entrance of the maze.
A minute later, the second whistle sounded.
Krum crashed into the maze entrance like a human tank, which reminded people of Rita's comment that he was all about muscles.
Another minute passed, and Fleur ran straight to the maze entrance as the whistle sounded.
Perhaps because of the comments about her being a pretty vase, she wore a long light blue sportswear and a baseball cap today.
When the last whistle sounded, Draco, dressed in a gorgeous black robe, walked towards the entrance of the maze gracefully and calmly, giving people the feeling that he was a runner-up with the lowest score.
The hedges that served as walls in the maze were twenty feet high, but the spectators in the stands could still vaguely see what was going on inside.
With the help of the camera equipment installed by the Ministry of Magic, every move of the four warriors appeared clearly on the live broadcast screen.
Harry, who entered the maze first, soon came to a fork in the road. He chose the left and ran for a long time without encountering any obstacles.
Krum chose the right side, and within a few steps he encountered a giant two-meter-tall blast-tailed skrewt.
“Sizzle—bang!”
He fell to the side in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and the tall hedge emitting a pink glow was directly knocked through by the blasting-tailed skrewt.
While the audience was worried about him, Harry, following the guidance of the Guiding Charm, turned three or four turns and encountered a Dementor.
The Ministry of Magic would not actually place such an extremely dangerous dark magical creature, it is actually a Boggart that can see through the inner deformation.
The silver deer summoned by the Patronus Charm Harry cast had no effect at all, and he immediately realized that the Dementor in front of him was a Boggart in disguise.
"Funny, funny!" His spell successfully blew the Boggart into a wisp of smoke.
He continued carefully following the guidance of the Guiding Spell towards the northwest of the maze. Suddenly, familiar explosions were heard behind him.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and he stood guard against the hedge with his wand raised.
A moment later, a huge black shadow crashed through the hedge, rushed around, and then went back into the hole it had created.
Harry twitched his lips violently, and offered his most sincere blessings from the bottom of his heart to the warrior who provoked the giant blasting-tailed skrewt.
He adjusted his mood and headed northwest again.
Fleur and Draco also encountered the first level respectively. The former encountered a meow alien who loved to give puzzles, and the latter encountered an eight-eyed giant spider, which was one of his lifelong nightmares.
