[HP] Luna, you are in for a big deal

Chapter 29 Stealing Things

Time soon came to February, and the second round of the Three Wizards Tournament was about to begin. Luna didn't know how Harry was preparing, but she heard Hermione say a few times that it shouldn't be a problem.

"If Fizeren insists on his price, this business will not be negotiated." Fred complained with some dissatisfaction.

"It's really you who want to do business with the centaur." Luna said with a smile, "They are almost the smartest in the Forbidden Forest."

At this time, Luna and the twins came out of the Forbidden Forest and were walking towards the castle.

"That's why we can do business with them," George said, "but obviously they are not very good buyers, maybe we should go to someone else, say, Ludo Bagman!"

Fred also laughed, "That's right, he has something in our hands~"

Just as Luna was about to ask what was the reason, she saw Professor McGonagall from Gryffindor walking over.

"Did you come out of the Forbidden Forest?" Professor McGonagall looked at the three suspiciously.

"No, no." The twins quickly shook their heads like rattles.

"Okay," Professor McGonagall glanced back and forth at them, "you go and bring Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley to me, I'll wait in the office."

"Too bad luck, I have to run errands, and I don't know what bad things Ron has done again." Fred complained.

"At this time, they must not be in the lounge. Where can they find them?" George asked.

"Hermione must be in the library," Luna said, "not necessarily Ron, let's go to the library first."

Sure enough, they saw Hermione in the library, Ron and Harry were also there, seeming to be studying a lot of books hard and seriously.

"Hey, Ron, Hermione, Professor McGonagall told you to come over," Fred said.

"What do you want us to do?" Hermione asked.

Luna shook her head, "We don't know either, Professor McGonagall just said let us take you there."

"Well, I'll wait for you in the lounge," said Harry, looking haggard.

"What are you looking for? See if we can help," George asked.

"Oh, no, thanks, I probably already found it." Harry said hastily.

After sending Hermione and Ron into Professor McGonagall's office, the twins looked like they didn't intend to leave.

"What are you waiting for here?" Luna asked.

Fred blinked, "Ron never wanted to spend time in the library, so guess what made him read books so seriously?"

"This... Harry? For Harry?" Luna said. "Perhaps preparing for the second test tomorrow?"

"That's what we guessed too," George said with a smile, "and judging by Harry's behavior just now, it's obvious that he didn't find any clue."

"We can't let him lose in this category." Fred took out several ear-like things and connected them with strings. He hung one of them through the crack in the wall to Professor McGonagall. on the roof of the office.

"Quick, let's listen." Fred handed Luna an ear, and he and George each took one.

Luna knew that this must be another gadget invented by the two brothers, so she quickly followed their example and hung that ear on her own. The next second, Professor McGonagall's voice came over.

"Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, I have to tell you that you have been chosen as hostages for the second project."

"Hostage?" Ron asked. "What do you mean?"

"There are four people in total, they are the hostages of the four warriors, and their second task is to rescue you, but you don't have to worry, even if your warriors don't show up, you won't be in any danger." Professor McGonagall explained.

They didn't hear the voice of the two replying, but instead heard the voice of Professor Moody, who seemed to come out of the fireplace in the house.

"Is this side ready? The other two hostages are already in place," Moody said.

"Okay, you can take Granger and Weasley away," said Professor McGonagall.

"Well," Moody seemed to pause, "Before that, I want to ask you, how is Potter's preparations going?"

"Uh, fine, no, no problem." Hermione said nervously.

"Really? Did he think of gill grass?" Moody asked.

"Gill grass? What's that?" Ron asked quickly.

"It allows him to breathe underwater..."

"Ahem, Professor Moody," interrupted Professor McGonagall, "we shouldn't be talking about this in front of students."

"They're just hostages anyway." Moody seemed to grimace, "If they still see Potter before the match, they might steal some from Snape."

"Professor Moody, you shouldn't teach students like this." Professor McGonagall's voice was very dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's go, Granger, Weasley."

Hearing that Moody seemed to be bringing Hermione and Ron out, Luna and the twins quickly hid.

"If I'm Harry's hostage, are you Krum's hostage?" Ron asked in a low voice.

"Now is not the time to think about this, we should think about whether Harry can find a way." Hermione said impatiently.

"But do you know that what is sung in that song is that what is stolen is the most precious thing of a warrior, and you have become Krum's most beloved thing?" Ron asked reluctantly.

"Oh, that's enough, Ron!"

Moody looked back at the two of them, "What are you talking about?"

"No, nothing, Professor," said Hermione hastily.

It was not until the voices of the Moody trio had completely disappeared that Luna and the twins emerged from their hiding place.

Fred laughed. "Ron didn't seem to realize that he had become Harry's love interest when he said that!"

"Let's laugh when he comes back, we're going to get moving," said George.

Luna realized something, and asked quickly, "Are you planning to help Harry steal gill grass?"

"That's right," said Fred, "and I want your help, you go and lure Snape away, and we'll do the rest."

Luna excitedly agreed, "Then, I'll set up a potion furnace in the atrium and ask Snape for advice?"

"The method is up to you, we are going to act." Fred said.

After a few seconds, Luna suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Professor Moody can see through everything. Could he have known that we were eavesdropping?"

"Of course~" George said without doubt.

Fred smiled, "Haha, it's inevitable, obviously Moody also wants Harry to win!"

"Well, I was the last to realize again."

Luna didn't know how the operation on the twins' side was going, she only knew that her side was going well.

"Felix Elixir?" Snape frowned, looking at Luna suspiciously, "You want to make Felicia Elixir?"

Luna nodded nervously. She was in the atrium with Snape at the moment. A small stove was set up in front of her, and a large pot of medicinal materials was boiling in it.

"Well, the ingredients used for Felicia are hard to find. Your idea of ​​using other ingredients is not bad, but you should know that if there is a mistake in the brewing process, the consequences will be unimaginable." Snape still frowned , Stir the pot of potion with a big spoon.

"I know, I've seen this in my mom's research, so I thought I'd try it myself," says Luna.

Snape paused for a moment with the spoon stirring the potion, as if thinking of something, "Is your mother Pandora Morris?"

Luna rarely hears her mother's family name, "Yes, my daughter."

Snape put down the spoon, "It seems that her research was not successful, your pot of medicine is completely scrapped, let's do it again."

Luna thought Snape was going to leave, but he said another sentence, "If you still have any questions, you can go to me."

"Uh, thank you!" Luna said hastily, she almost exclaimed for such a friendly Snape.

"The reason for your complete failure lies in the external conditions. If you had half the wisdom of your mother, you would know that the air in the atrium today is not suitable for concocting such a delicate potion." Snape left without looking back. .

Luna took a deep breath. With Professor Snape in front of her, she couldn't help being nervous. She had heard that Snape was a classmate of Xenophilius and Pandora at Hogwarts, but to A few years after them, Xenophilius once said to Luna that it was an honor to have Snape as a professor of potions, because he was really talented in potions.

Luna hoped that during the time she was stalking Professor Snape, the twin brother had already succeeded.

"How? Got it?" Luna saw the twins outside the library.

"Of course." Fred proudly shook a small bag in his hand, "Go in and find Harry!"

In the library, Harry was still buried in a pile of books.

George asked intentionally, "Why, Harry, haven't you found what you're looking for? Do you want our help this time?"

Harry raised his head quickly, "Oh, no, no, thank you, where are Ron and Hermione? Why didn't they come back?"

"They can't come back, they were taken away by something terrible." Fred put on a scary look.

"Uh," of course Harry knew that Fred was trying to scare him, and he looked at Luna, as if he knew she was the only one who could speak normally, "What's the matter?"

"We overheard Professor McGonagall's words and learned the content of the second project. They took Ron away. You need to go to the water to find him back," Luna said.

That startled Harry, "What?"

"We know you haven't found a way to breathe water," George said.

"So we found it for you~" Fred handed the gill grass to Harry.

"This is gill grass. If you eat it before tomorrow's game, then you can breathe in the water for an hour." Luna said.

Harry couldn't react, he looked at the gill grass in his hand, then at the three of Luna, "Here, you..."

"You don't want to lose, do you?" Fred said. "As much as I'd like Ron to stay in the water, he doesn't seem to be in any danger in the water, so you'd better take the trouble to get him out." Come up."

Luna guessed that Harry must have been moved and excited, he could barely speak, but when the game started the next day, his performance was much worse than other warriors.

Harry swallowed the gill grass in a hurry, and then hurried into the water again, not at all like the other three warriors who used their wands to cast spells gracefully.

"Looks a little embarrassed." Fred said holding the binoculars.

"Haha, as long as it works." George smiled, because the way Harry walked into the water trembling was actually more amusing.

Luna muttered softly, "I just hope Snape doesn't find out that Harry is using gill grass."

Watching this game is much more boring, the Warriors have an hour underwater, and their situation in the water is invisible to anyone outside.

In more than 30 minutes, Fleur Delacour surfaced in a panic, and she looked a little injured.

Beauxbaton's people quickly rushed over to bring her to the ground. As soon as Furong regained consciousness, she went crazy and wanted to go back into the water. She kept shouting a name to the surface, which should be her hostage.

Luna felt that although Fu Rong looked embarrassed at this time, she was much more real than her usual high-ranking appearance. Although she also had injuries on her face, she couldn't hide her beauty at all.

At one hour and one minute, Cedric Diggory came out of the water with Cho Chang.

"Oh, what a pity!" the twins exclaimed regretfully, they didn't like Cedric.

After a while, Viktor Krum also came out with Hermione.Only Harry did not show up for a long time.

"Will he be in danger too?" Luna asked.

"Giggle giggling," came a strange empty laugh, and the weeping Myrtle drifted to Luna's side at some point, "He's fine, he's just a little stupid."

"What do you mean?" Luna asked quickly.

"You can see for yourself." Myrtle still smiled strangely.

Three heads popped out of the water of the Black Lake. The one in the middle was Harry, who was panting heavily. Next to him were Ron and a very small girl, who looked a bit like Fleur.

"Oh! No way, could it be that he thinks that no one will rescue the hostages, so they can really die?" Fred complained dissatisfied.

"Maybe, maybe he found Ron a long time ago, and then he couldn't bear to keep other hostages down there, so he just waited." George said.

Myrtle laughed strangely again, "Giggle, you're right, he was the first to arrive~"

But the final result is still very comforting to everyone. Because Harry showed his noble character, he scored 45 points, only two points behind Cedric. Counting the scores in the first game, the two are now is tied for first place.
