Hogwarts Reading Days

Sirius, who was waiting anxiously by the black lake, jumped into the lake immediately after seeing Harry surfaced, and fished the exhausted Harry ashore.

Furong also broke free from Mrs. Maxim's obstruction immediately, and jumped into the water to save her sister Gabriel.

Ron, who had just woken up and spat out a mouthful of lake water, was still thumping in the water with a dazed expression on his face. Looking at the rescued Harry and the little silver-haired girl, he had to swim to the shore by himself, and was finally caught by Fred and the little silver-haired girl. George reached out and dragged him ashore.

"Well done, Harry."

Sirius tapped Harry's shoulder lightly with his wand, after removing the water marks on his body and the coldness brought by the lake, he smiled and patted Harry's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"That... I failed to finish rescuing the hostages."

Harry was a little disappointed. He had made so many preparations before, but he didn't expect that he could not complete the task of rescuing the hostages in the end.

"It's okay Harry, as long as you come back safely." Sirius comforted softly, "You really don't have to care about the result of the game."

"But……"

"Mr. Anderson managed to return with the hostages in just a quarter of an hour. I dare say that no warrior can surpass him. So, don't think about the score, it's purely asking for trouble." Lupine also reached out and patted Patting Harry on the shoulder, he kindly reminded: "Perhaps, you should think about what this competition has brought you. Compared with the points you get, the content of the competition is more interesting, isn't it?"

Harry looked up at Albert, who was talking to a beautiful red-haired girl, and fell silent for a moment. Lupine was right, he didn't need to care about those things at all, he was just looking for trouble.

Harry wanted the champion, wanted to win it in front of Cho Chang, to prove that he was better than Cedric Diggory, but there was a champion in this Triwizard Tournament.

Yes, the championship was booked a long time ago, and the man who booked the championship was named Albert Anderson.

The most frightening thing is that almost everyone thinks so, and other warriors have given up continuing to compete for the championship.

"The second project has finally come to a perfect conclusion."

Albert handed the thick blanket to George, who spread the blanket around their brother tightly.

"Can this be considered a perfect ending?" Fred asked in confusion.

"No one was drowned in the black lake, isn't it a perfect ending?" Albert handed a glass of potion to Fred, and reminded: "Let him drink it as soon as possible, so as not to catch a cold."

"That's true. At least, Harry's situation is much better than Krum's." George smiled and took the potion, and forced it into Ron's mouth. Watching his ears keep steaming, he smiled extraordinarily. good.

"Ahem, what's wrong with Krum?"

Ron choked and coughed dryly.

"He seems to have been attacked by a large number of Grindylows on the road, and the situation is a bit tragic." Fred sighed softly: "I didn't expect Krum to persist in completing the task. It's incredible."

Ron looked in Krum's direction and saw that Madam Pomfrey was treating Krum's wound with a fuss, and Hermione was talking with Krum.When Ron looked away, he happened to see Fleur kissing Harry's cheek, as if thanking him for saving his sister.

Ron, who happened to see this scene, always felt sour in his heart.

"The results of the discussion over there should be coming soon," George turned to Albert and asked, "Do you understand the language of the mermaid?"

"I don't understand, and I haven't learned it on purpose."

Albert looked at Dumbledore, who was squatting by the water and talking closely with the mermaid leader, and admired the old man from the bottom of his heart.

At least, without the assistance of the skill panel, he can't learn the mermaid language.

"It's rare to have a language you don't know." George joked.

"It's normal if there is something!"

Albert, who has a skill panel, if he really wants to learn the mermaid's language, it's not too difficult.

"By the way, the previous fireworks were very good. You may consider selling them to Hogwarts. After all, after the Triwizard Tournament, you must prepare fireworks for celebration!"

"That's a good proposal." Fred and George's eyes lit up, but they quickly calmed down.

"Do you think Dumbledore would be willing to buy fireworks?"

Gu</span> "You can try to sell your holiday fireworks to Principal Dumbledore. Anyway, this kind of thing always needs to be tried. You have to find opportunities by yourself. It is too difficult to wait for opportunities to come to your door.

"What fireworks?" Ron asked suspiciously.

"It has nothing to do with you." Fred and George said in unison.

At this time, the five referees in the referee's seat finally discussed the result.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Dumbledore's magically amplified voice sounded in everyone's ears, startling everyone: "Mercus, the mermaid leader, told us everything that happened under the lake, the judges Decided to rate the warriors on the basis of the full score of 50 points."

"Mr. Albert Anderson used Gill Grass and Bubblehead Charm, and at the same time inspired him to use Transformation Charm and Basic Movement Charm to create a propeller for underwater movement, which achieved amazing results." Deng Bullido paused, and continued: "He was the first to return with the hostages, and he completed the task in just a quarter of an hour. We decided to give Mr. Albert Anderson 50 points, which is full marks."

Isobel put his head on Albert's shoulder, blinked mischievously and said, "I dare say you surprised everyone."

"I'm just worried about your safety, and I want to complete the task as soon as possible to rescue you."

Deafening cheers suddenly erupted from the stands, drowning out the whispers of the two. The students of Hogwarts were all proud and proud of having a genius like Albert Anderson.

Only a few extreme Slytherin students looked on coldly and regarded this as a disgrace to pure blood wizards, but such extreme students were only a minority after all.

Under the big tree by the lake, Professor Moody, leaning on crutches, was applauding Albert.However, his eyes were a little gloomy, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Albert with unconcealable malice.

Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr. is looking forward to the Hogwarts genius dying in the maze of the Triwizard Tournament. What expressions will these students who are applauding him show?

After about a minute or so, the cheers and noise gradually subsided, and Dumbledore finally found a chance to speak: "Although Miss Fleur Delacour showed an excellent use of the Bubble Curse, she is approaching the target. When she was attacked by Grindylow and failed to rescue the hostages, we gave her 25 points."

As a human being, Fu Rong didn't care that she got the lowest score in the second item, and she was talking to Gabriel in a low voice to calm her sister's emotions.

"Mr. Viktor Krum used the transfiguration technique. Although it is incomplete, it is still effective. He is the second to return with the hostages, far exceeding the stipulated time of one hour. We will give him 40 points."

"Harry Potter also used the Bubble Curse," Dumbledore looked at Harry with satisfaction, and continued: "Although the hostages failed to be rescued in the end, the mermaid leader told us that Mr. Potter was the second to find The hostages, he did not return in time, but stayed to ensure that all the hostages were safe before returning, causing the bubble head curse to reach the limit and finally failed to float in time. Most referees felt that this fully reflected the noble morality, we Forty points to Mr Potter."

"Although it feels a bit silly, few people can do this, right?" Albert said to Isobel beside him.

"Yeah! It's silly, and I like to be a hero, but it's actually not bad." Isobel put his head close to Albert's ear, and whispered softly, "However, I don't want you to do this." 7K 妏敩

As she spoke, she applauded along with Albert.

Everyone was stunned.

Until several referees also started to applaud, and Fleur, who came back to her senses, also clapped vigorously. Krum obviously didn't care that Harry's score was the same as his own, and applauded Harry as well.

After several warriors took the lead in applauding Harry, the people in the audience who were still in a daze also applauded together, and the applause slowly spread to the audience.

Harry opened his mouth slightly, and his expression was extremely complicated. He never expected that he would get such a good result, let alone that he would be recognized and encouraged for being stupid for a while.

"So you're not stupid." Ron shouted at the top of his voice, "It's really you, Harry!"

Dumbledore listened to the applause and cheers around him, with a slight smile on his face, and after the cheers ended, he said: "The third and last project will be carried out on the evening of June 6th, The Warriors will have a month's notice of what the program will look like."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Lee Jordan took the lead in shouting: "Revelry! Revelry! We're having a celebration!"

Students from other surrounding houses protested that after the first project, the celebration party was only held in the Gryffindor common room, much to the displeasure of other students who were unable to attend.

"Maybe we should hold the celebration dinner in the auditorium."

"Let's go back." Albert said, holding Isobel's arm, "I think you'd better take a shower now, change into dry clothes, eat some hot food, and take a good rest."

Isobel really wanted to take a hot bath, it was not comfortable to soak in the lake.

However, before the two left, Madam Pomfrey approached the warriors and the hostages one by one, insisting on escorting them back to the castle to change into dry clothes, and let them receive care in the medical room to avoid soaking in the icy lake for a long time caught a cold and got sick.

However, Albert took Isobel and sneaked away on the road. He was not interested in accepting Madam Pomfrey's care. Anyway, he was not injured, so it would be the same if he went. Why not take a hot shower first? Take a bath, eat some hot food and relax!
