Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Dumbledore squatted by the lake, apologetically treating the injury on the arm of the mermaid leader, and then returned to the referee's seat to discuss scoring matters with several other referees.

A few minutes later, Bagman's voice sounded. He held his wand against his neck and amplified his voice with an amplifying spell to ensure that everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce the points each warrior earned in the second category.

Ms. Delacour showed an excellent use of the bubble head spell, and successfully rescued the hostages in the last minute of the time limit. We give her 1 points. "

"It's a bit high for me." Fleur shook her head mockingly, "If it wasn't for someone's help, I wouldn't even be able to pass Grindylow's level."

"Uh..." Aaron rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Didn't I remind you that there are dangerous creatures in the Black Lake, don't you know that Grindylow usually likes to hide in aquatic plants?"

"Unlucky." Fu Rong said gloomily, "I encountered a giant squid on the way down, and accidentally broke into that patch of aquatic plants while evading."

"Tsk! It's sad enough."

"Viktor Krum used Transfiguration, although it was not complete, but he also returned with the hostages within the stipulated time.

He came out third and we decided to give him 45 points. "

"Harry Potter took gillweed with amazing results.

He was the first to complete the task within the specified time, rescued the hostages, and after the referee's discussion... 47 points. "

Hermione and Ron were so excited that they laughed happily.

But Harry lowered his head with guilt, he knew how he got his score, the origin of gill grass is somewhat disgraceful, especially Snape's cold gaze in the audience made him feel like a light on his back .

"Cedric Diggory, he also used the Bubble Curse and completed the task within the stipulated time limit. We also gave him 47 points."

The Hufflepuffs cheered loudly and everyone clapped their hands excitedly.

In their opinion, Cedric should be No.1. Harry Potter just ate a precious herb, and he didn't show his abilities at all.

"The last is Aaron Gaius." Bagman's voice was a little higher, "We all saw his performance. He used a kind of high-level magic, and he did not touch a drop of water in the cold black lake. He wanted to save two hostages, and made a wise choice. In the end, he chose to help the fourth warrior and rescued her from the siege of Grindylow.

Although the allotted one-hour time limit was exceeded, the performance was impeccable and the referees decided to award him 49 points. "

The Slytherin students shouted excitedly, Fleur and Hermione clapped vigorously, and Luna also cheered for him.

"Finally, the third event of the Triwizard Tournament will take place in the evening of June 24.

The Warriors will know the content of the game one month in advance, thank you for your support. "

Bagman's voice stopped here, and the audience left their seats one after another. Cedric, Fleur and Krum also decided to go back and have a good rest.

Aaron took Abe back from Adrian, and then looked at her with resentment, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Very satisfied." Adrian clapped his hands, "You made a choice, but the way you chose made me unexpected."

"You are really my sister." Aaron said with a wry smile.

"cousin."

"Okay! Cousin, how do you plan to torment me in your next project?"

"You will know when the time comes, but the last level is more exciting than the first two items combined, if it really doesn't work, the agreement between us will be void.

But you'd better be prepared, because that means Kelia will be visiting your house after your holiday. "

Aaron:  …

This is so unexpected.

"What I dislike the most as a person is quitting halfway."

"Wait and see, behave well." Adrian patted him on the shoulder, turned and left with a smile.

Aaron gritted his teeth and took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to curse.

"That..." Harry called cautiously behind him, with a death-defying expression on his face, "let's go and see Professor Snape."

"Huh?" Aaron looked surprised, "I have to admit, you have a little more backbone than I thought, and I thought you would drag it on forever!"

Harry smiled awkwardly, he did have this idea at first.

Aaron doesn't like trouble, as long as it can be delayed for ten days and a half months, he will gradually forget about it.

But not now, Professor Snape's face was terribly dark just now, he must know that his gill grass was stolen.

He took the initiative to admit his mistake, and with Aaron's help, he would not be punished too badly.

Otherwise, when Snape came to the door, he would have a good fruit to eat. After all, Potions class was a hurdle they couldn't escape. It would not be too easy for Snape to punish him.

The two entered Hogwarts Castle, turned dozens of times in the long corridor, and stopped in front of Professor Snape's private storage room.

Just as Aaron was about to knock on the door, Karkaroff's voice came from inside.

The principal of Durmstrang was extremely anxious, and besides anxiety, there was endless fear in his tone.

"It's a sign, Severus, and both you and I know what it means.

You must have noticed, it's never been so obvious since..."

"Hide quickly." Snape said viciously, "If you don't want to face it, you can try to escape, and I will try my best to help you.

I'm not in a good mood today, let's talk about it later, Karkaroff. "

The door opened suddenly, and Aaron kept knocking on the door. Harry stood stiffly behind him, sweating nervously.

Seeing someone outside, Karkaroff hurriedly pulled down his sleeves, but Aaron clearly caught the pattern on his left arm, and he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly in his heart.

The Dark Mark, the mark of the Death Eaters.

The Dark Lord has disappeared for more than ten years, but you still keep this mark to this day. This loyalty really stands the test of time!

"Aaron, what... do you want me to do?"

"It's a little bit, but it seems that we came at the wrong time."

The corner of Karkaroff's mouth twitched, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and quickly left Snape's private storage room.

"Now we can talk." Aaron shrugged and let Harry Potter behind him out, "He's looking for something for you, Professor."

"Potter." Snape gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "Congratulations, you performed outstandingly in Black Lake.

Gill grass, is it? "

"Yes, sir."

Snape nodded, "It's a genius idea, just a little bolder."

He turned and walked into the storage room, and climbed up a ladder, "That's a rare herb, gill sac grass, you can't find it in ordinary gardens, and you can't find this either."

Snape came down from the ladder with a small crystal bottle in his hand.

"Know this?"

Harry shook his head, "It's not pumpkin juice anyway."

"It's Veritaserum, and it only takes three drops to make you reveal your innermost secrets."

"Professor," Aaron interjected, "the Ministry of Magic won't let this thing be used on students."

"Don't I know?" Snape said angrily, "I just wanted to tell Mr. Potter not to steal from my private pantry in the future, or I might accidentally drip it on someone's pumpkin juice in."

"Sorry, sir." Harry said very humblely, "I stole the gill grass, and I apologize to you."

"Hmph! It's quite frank, but the frankness is a bit incomplete."

Harry's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Snape had discovered that Dobby had stolen the gill grass. Just as he was feeling uneasy, Snape's next words reached his ears.

"The gill grass is harmless, but the woodsnakeskin and lacewings are gone too.

Are you and your friends making Polyjuice Potion? "

"I don't know what you're talking about." Harry frowned, and he admitted it, but Polyjuice Potion really had nothing to do with him.

"Wait! I'll find out why."

Harry used to feel that he was in the wrong, and always felt guilty when facing Snape.

But hearing this at the moment, he only felt a deep anger in his heart, feeling that Snape just wanted to take the blame on him, and those materials might have been properly placed on the counter, and they hadn't been stolen at all.

Harry gave Snape a cold look, turned and left without saying a word.

"He's quite tempered." Snape said disdainfully. "It seems that the successful passing of the two events of the Triwizard Tournament made our savior inflated."

"Uh...Professor Snape, is there a possibility that he just stole the gill grass?"

"Who else but him? Gill grass, tree snake skin, and lacewings were stolen on the same day."

Aaron blinked and stopped speaking for Harry.

He didn't think it was Harry and the others who stole the ingredients for making the compound potion, because it was unnecessary, and the theft might just be a coincidence, after all, Hogwarts never lacked students who liked pranks.

But he didn't need to explain that Professor Snape's prejudice against Harry Potter was not ordinary.

"Professor, may I ask, what was the relationship between you and Professor Karkaroff before?"

Hearing this, Snape's expression darkened immediately, and he said in a cold voice, "This has nothing to do with you, don't inquire about it."

"I saw it." Aaron expressed interest, "He has the Dark Mark on his arm, is it a Death Eater?"

"To shut up."

"I won't say it, you don't need to worry so much." Aaron said solemnly, "My respect for you will not change because of who you used to be."

Snape took a deep breath and looked at him seriously, "I really want to cast an Oblivion Curse on you."

"With all due respect." Aaron smiled and said, "You...maybe you don't have that ability."

"Okay! I used to belong to the same camp as Karkaroff, so you are satisfied?" Snape said helplessly, and then pulled his sleeves, and on his arm was the same Dark Mark , "As Karkaroff said, this mark has never been so obvious, this is some kind of symptom.

Coupled with the Dark Mark on the Quidditch World Cup, I am afraid that the day when the mysterious man will make a comeback is not far away.

Forget what you hear and see, it's not something you can get into, understand? "

Aaron:  …
