Chapter 318 The Final Game Begins
Hermione, knowing that she was making too much noise, tried to hide the newspaper in a panic, but Ron snatched it away.
Ron just glanced at the headline of the newspaper, his face flushed, and he said angrily:
"How dare she do that, and today of all days, that old thing."
"Is it Rita Skeeter?!"
Wright took the newspaper from Ron and with just a glance, he could see the undisguised malice in it:
"Harry Potter, you're not in a good mood!"
"The boy who once defeated the mysterious man is now emotionally unstable and dangerous."
"The Daily Prophet has discovered that Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore has been hiding the secrets surrounding Harry Potter's special status."
"According to my research, Harry Potter once used the symbol of the Dark Arts: Parseltongue."
"And in full view of everyone, using it to control a snake, but these things were deliberately covered up by someone..."
"I have every reason to believe that Harry Potter will use terrible dark magic during the competition."
After a quick read, Wright handed it to Harry to read despite the obstruction of Hermione and Ron.
"Escape can't solve the problem, what we have to do is face it!"
"Besides, Harry is now the favorite to win the championship. These rumors are useless."
Wright gave the two people who were glaring at him chicken soup, but his eyes were looking at the edge of the window of the auditorium, and he thought to himself:
"If you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have wanted to drag you into this, but now, it's been happily decided!"
"Rita Skeeter, you are the chief anti-Voldemort pioneer of the Daily Prophet!"
While Wright was secretly planning, Harry casually threw the newspaper aside and said casually:
"I'm not going to pay any attention to her. She's writing gossip all day long."
Hermione looked at his expression and found that he was indeed not pretending to be generous, so she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Wright, who was thinking, and Hermione, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard Ron's exclamation:
"Wright, Hermione! The exam is about to start, we have to hurry."
Hearing Ron's reminder, Wright subconsciously looked at the time and found that the exam would start in ten minutes.
The three of them hurriedly said goodbye to Harry and rushed to the exam classroom together.
……
When the last final exam was over, all the students cheered in relief.
The tension that had permeated the entire school dissipated, leaving only a warm feeling of anticipation.
When Wright followed the crowd to the auditorium to have dinner, he found that Minister of Magic Fudge had also come to the school.
At this moment, he was sitting at the staff table, chatting with Ludo, who also looked very happy, with a smile on his face.
Old Batty was also in high spirits as he chatted with Moody!
Maxim was concentrating on eating, but Wright could see that her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.
Hagrid, who was on the other side of the table, kept looking at Maxim, as if he knew something.
I don't know if it's to prepare for the final match of the Triwizard Tournament.
Today's dinner was much more sumptuous than usual, and every student was eating with relish and enjoying the food happily.
When the last student put down his knife and fork, Dumbledore slowly stood up and said loudly to the students:
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"In five minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch field to watch the final match of the Triwizard Tournament."
"So now, warriors, please go to the playground with Mr. Bagman."
"Harry, come on!"
As Harry stood up to leave, Light patted him gently on the shoulder.
A silver light quietly penetrated into Harry's body.
Amid the cheers and applause of the students, the four warriors followed Ludo towards the Quidditch pitch.
It didn't take long before the students in the hall were led by Dumbledore.
We came to the spectator stand that had been set up long ago, eagerly waiting for the game to begin.
After Ludo spoke to the warriors, he pointed his magic wand at his throat and shouted:
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"The final competition of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"
"Now, let me tell you the current scores. Those with the highest scores will be able to enter the maze first."
"Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter - 85 points, tied for first place, Hogwarts School!"
"Even with my intervention, they will still share equally?"
Wright still felt a little surprised about the score.
But the audience ignored his surprise, and warm applause and cheers filled the entire stadium.
"Viktor Krum - 80 points, second place, Durmstrang Academy!"
This time the voices were much quieter and less enthusiastic.
"Fleur Delacour - 78 points, third place, Beauxbatons Academy!"
Without waiting for the audience to cheer, Ludo announced that the game was about to begin.
"Harry and Cedric, are you ready?"
"If you can, listen to my whistle!"
three
two
One!
After a sharp whistle, Harry and Cedric rushed into the maze as fast as possible.
Under the broadcast of the spirit bird, the tall hedges in the maze cast black shadows on the path.
I don’t know if it’s because of the magic, but it looks particularly eerie.
The audience couldn't help but shudder at the sight of this dark and silent scene.
"Lumos!"
Harry and Cedric raised their wands at the same time, and a small glimmer of light illuminated the small area.
They had not walked far when they came to a fork in the road. The two of them just looked at each other and walked towards the two different passages.
"This kind of behavior is very dangerous if it is put in a horror movie!"
"Are you stupid? This is a competition!"
"What are you afraid of? There are no ghosts. It should be..."
……
When the audience saw the two people parting ways, they couldn't help but discuss it.
Soon, Ludo's whistle was blown again, and Krum walked into the maze.
After the three warriors entered the maze, nothing happened and they were just trying to find a way forward.
Soon, after the third whistle sounded again, all the warriors were now in the maze.
The four warriors ran around in the dark maze, fortunately the spirit bird functioned well enough.
It can accurately capture the warriors' quick movements, shapes and actions, otherwise you can only see blurry black shadows.
After the warriors walked for a while, Harry was the first to arrive at the second fork in the road.
He held the wand flat on his palm and whispered a spell, and the wand automatically pointed to the dense hedge on the right.
Just when the audience was confused about not understanding Harry's actions, Ludo appeared at the right time to explain:
"The magic Harry is using is a directional spell!"
“This magic can make the wand point to the north. It works well in the wild, but the effect will be much worse when used in a maze.
After knowing the direction, Harry went straight through the fork without hesitation and fortunately did not encounter any obstacles.
