Chapter 892 The first project ends
Krum's low score caused dissatisfaction among some Quidditch fans, but the four referees collectively gave it seven points. He was not Albert and did not have so many supporters, and Bagman's explanation was fine. .
Krum let the nest of dragon eggs be scrapped. Dragon eggs are very precious, so it is normal for some points to be deducted.
“Well, let us welcome the last warrior, the youngest warrior ever, Harry Potter from Hogwarts.” Bagman shouted happily.
However, after Harry Potter entered the competition venue, the auditorium was enveloped in a chaotic noise. Some spectators began to curse Harry with vicious words, and some even threw objects towards the competition venue.
If Albert is the most popular warrior, then Harry is the least popular warrior.
“Oh my god, stop it,” Bagman screamed, trying to stop people from throwing things at Harry.
“When did Potter become so unpopular?” Albert was a little surprised by the poor reputation of the savior.
"This matter is mainly related to Slytherin." Lee Jordan heard Albert's words and said helplessly, "Those guys deliberately aroused everyone's envy and jealousy of Harry, and they also distributed it to everyone for free. "It smells bad." In fact, they also wanted to discredit you, but you had too many supporters, so they gave up in the end."
Speaking of the changes in Hogwarts, no one knows it better than Lee Jordan, who likes to ask around for gossip.
"Most people are not idiots who don't know right from wrong." Albert found it difficult to understand what that group of people were thinking, "Do they just believe what others say?"
"Don't tell me, there are quite a few people like this." Li Jordan felt a little embarrassed when he talked about this matter. He was actually like this before, but after becoming friends with Albert, he began to learn to think proactively about problems. He knew very well that most of the students were just jealous of Harry and just started to heckle him along with everyone else.
Slytherin students often take the lead in causing trouble, including throwing things on the field now, which are also good things they do.
I don’t know whose boots fell on Harry Potter’s feet with a “pop” sound, and an inexplicable embarrassment suddenly enveloped the competition field.
"A student of Slytherin?" Albert murmured: "It is indeed their style. If it were me, I would probably hang the guy who made the badge to dry for two days first!"
Katrina looked at Harry Potter holding the wand on the field, frowned and asked, "What is Potter doing, casting some kind of magic? It seems to have no effect. Is he too nervous that the magic fails?"
"It didn't work. What he just used should be the Flying Curse."
“How do you know about the flying curse?” Several people around him cast inquiring glances at Albert.
"Probably summoning his broomstick, I have also thought about using that tactic." Albert took some popcorn from the paper cup and threw it into his mouth. Of course, he would not say that this was his idea for Harry. .
“Then why don’t you use it yourself?” Katrina asked curiously. She knew that Albert was also a very good seeker.
The reason why Albert gave up using a broomstick was more because he was worried that he could not fly fast enough across the six stars. If he also had a firebolt, he wouldn't mind riding a broomstick to get the golden egg from the fire dragon easily.
"Harry Potter got on his broomstick and flew!" Bagman shouted at the top of his voice from the referee's seat. "As the youngest warrior, Harry is undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to other warriors, but he used Use your smart brain to make up for your shortcomings and give full play to your own advantages.”
Just when Bagman was yelling, Harry easily dodged the Hungarian Horntail's breath amidst everyone's exclamations and screams.
“My God, he flies so well!” shouted Bagman. “Did you see that, Mr. Krum?”
Above the playing field, Harry was implementing his plan step by step. He hovered over the Hungarian Horntail and threw a stunning spell at it. The Hungarian Horntail must be lured out of the nest, otherwise he will never get access to the eggs.
The trick is to keep harassing it. The fire dragon has always had a bad temper. He will definitely not be able to bear the provocation and come after him. Then the opportunity will come.
Hungarian Horntail was forced too hard and opened its mouth to breathe at Harry again, but Harry nimbly dodged it again.
The fire dragon roared angrily in annoyance, spread its wings and chased after Harry, but it didn't know that it had been fooled.
When the Hungarian Horntail left the nest to chase Harry, he was led by Harry riding a Firebolt and slipped around in the sky. When the time came, Harry suddenly accelerated and dived towards the fire dragon's lair.
When Harry passed over the nest, he succeeded in getting the golden egg.
“Look!” Bagman hissed, “Look! Our youngest warrior successfully got the golden egg!”
The entire competition venue suddenly burst into flames. People were shouting, screaming, applauding, and the sound was deafening.
However, Harry, who was overwhelmed with joy, did not realize that the Hungarian Horntail was already chasing him.
Seeing that the **** thief dared to steal his own eggs, the Hungarian Horntail was extremely angry. The dragon's breath almost burned the oncoming Harry to ashes, and almost ignited the branches of the Firebolt.
This time, Harry paid the price for his negligence. Although he dodged the oncoming breath, he failed to avoid the Hungarian Horntail's tail, and his whole body and broom were violently pulled away from him.
A long spike from the Hungarian Horntail's tail pierced Harry's shoulder, soaking his robes with blood.
Harry felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but his legs still clamped the Firebolt tightly to prevent him from falling. His ears were filled with the screams of the audience, and he was in a trance. He accelerated again, throwing away the Hungarian Horntail who tried to attack again.
The dragon tamers have already rushed over, trying to calm down the anger of the hornets.
Harry looked at the Hungarian Horntails entangled by the dragon tamers and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and began to descend towards the entrance of the field.
He still has lingering fears, and the wound on his shoulder is very deep. If the injury was at that time... he would have been too careless, otherwise he would not have been injured at all.
However, I finally passed the first project and survived successfully.
After Harry landed smoothly on the ground, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, Sirius and Lupine hurried over to greet him.
"Okay, let's talk later. Potter now needs to go to the first aid tent to find Madam Pomfrey." Professor McGonagall interrupted what several people wanted to say loudly, and led Harry towards the first aid tent.
The first aid tent was near the entrance of the venue. Madam Pomfrey stood at the entrance of the tent. After discovering that Harry was injured, she pulled him into the tent for treatment.
Madam Pomfrey completely cured Harry's serious injuries in just a few minutes. For healers, ordinary injuries can be easily cured by using magic. The real trouble is actually those caused by the disease. Injuries caused by magic.
"You succeeded Harry." Sirius said to Harry as he walked into the medical tent. "It would be better if you could be more careful in the end."
"Okay Sirius, it will be great if Harry can complete the first project." Lupine didn't have much idea. Harry's safety was more important to him.
"I did get carried away in the end." Harry carefully checked the healing of his wounds and reflected on himself, "I should have been more careful."
“Harry, it’s great that you’re okay!”
“Okay, let’s go see your scores.” Sirius noticed Madam Pomfrey’s gaze and smiled as he motioned for everyone to go to the stage to see the final scores.
"Harry, you had a chance to get full marks." Ron said regretfully, "However, you were injured in the end, so some points will probably be deducted."
“Anyone got perfect scores?” Harry asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Full marks for Albert." Hermione said with admiration, "He easily subdued the fire dragon in just a few minutes."
“Subdue the dragon?” Harry repeated.
“Literally.” Sirius comforted, “You don’t need to compare with him, that guy can’t be considered a student at all. He came to participate in the Triwizard Tournament purely to bully others.”
After the group of them returned to the stands, Harry noticed that the people around him looked at him with complicated eyes. He ignored the others and turned his gaze to the referee's box, only to find that Karkaroff was no longer there.
Perhaps sensing Harry's doubtful gaze, Hermione recounted the bad things Karkaroff had done and the chaos that had occurred previously.
Harry couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was hard to imagine that someone could really lose face for the sake of victory. Karkaroff was kicked out of the referee's box, purely because of his own fault.
Harry's final score was 45 points, Bagman gave it 10 points, Dumbledore and Crouch gave it 9 points, and Madam Maxime gave it 8 points.
"I'm very happy that the first project ended successfully." Bagman cleared his throat and said, "Now please come to the tent, warriors. I have something to say to the warriors."
“Bagman probably wanted to talk about the second project.”
Albert glanced at the golden egg in his hand. He remembered that this thing seemed to have to be in water to hear the secret hidden in the golden egg.
“Then I’ll go back first.” Isobel kissed Albert’s cheek and said, “Your college is probably going to hold a celebration banquet, so you’d better not be absent.”
“Ask Bit to send the photos to my dormitory.” Albert reminded.
Looking at Albert's leaving back, Isobel turned her head and said to Katrina, "You don't mind walking with me!"
“Is something wrong?” Katrina raised her eyebrows.
“We sisters haven’t had a good chat for a long time.” Isobel motioned to Katrina and said while walking.
Albert was unaware of the topic of the McDougal sisters' chat. When he arrived at the tent, everyone was already waiting for him in the tent.
"We are all here," said Ludo Bagman cheerfully. "I have only a few words to say."
“First of all, you all did a great job!”
"Also, the second project will start at 9:30 am on February 24 next year." Ludo Bagman took the golden egg from Albert's hand and specially gave some tips to the warriors, "Before that, , you can rest for a long time, so we have left you a riddle. As long as you solve the clues in the egg, you will know what the second project is and prepare in advance!"
Riddle?
Harry looked at Albert suspiciously. He felt that this man didn't need to solve the puzzle at all. He could easily figure out what the second project was by just looking at his crystal ball.
After Bagman signaled that they could leave, Krum did not leave immediately, but walked directly to Albert.
"I'm sorry about Karkaroff, but that's his personal opinion and does not represent Durmstrang." Krum pointedly put all the problems on Karkaroff, " To be honest, many people don’t understand how he became the principal.”
"Well, then you don't need to spend any more time to understand the reason. Karkaroff will no longer be your principal soon." Albert said calmly.
Krum was in a daze and didn't understand what he meant.
When Albert walked out of the tent, only Shanna was waiting for him outside.
Where are they?
“I was exchanging money for everyone, and those three guys took this opportunity to make a lot of money.” Shanna said with a smile, “You look so handsome in this outfit.”
“Thank you, let’s go back!”
“Is that golden egg also part of the game?” Shanna noticed the golden egg in Albert’s hand and asked curiously.
"Yes, this is a riddle." Albert handed the golden egg to Zannah and said, "It is used to kill time for the warriors."
"I dare say the riddle won't stump you." Shanna made an opening gesture.
“At the celebration banquet in the evening, a golden egg will definitely be opened, and it will definitely give everyone a surprise.” Albert said meaningfully.
"Surprise, I'm looking forward to it." Shanna waited for the surprise that Albert said at the celebration party in the evening.
The golden egg is empty, with nothing inside, but as long as it is opened, an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream will come out from inside.
“Is this the surprise you were talking about?” Shanna raised her wine glass angrily and touched it lightly with the wine glass in Albert’s hand.
“Isn’t it a surprise?” Albert joked with a smile.
“You already knew this?” Shanna raised her eyebrows and asked, “What is that sound? Is it the ghost band playing?”
“That should be the song of the fish-men.”
“The singing of the fishmen?” Zannah’s eyes widened in disbelief, “I bet no one would hire their singers.”
"That's not the point." Albert took a sip of butterbeer, looked at Hermione and asked, "Is something wrong Hermione?"
“The second item is in the water?” Hermione asked.
“To be precise, it should be in the lake.” Albert corrected.
"You are very generous. I dare say she will tell Potter this secret." Zannah reminded.
"Everyone is cheating anyway, and they will figure out the secret of the golden egg sooner or later." Albert didn't care. He actually let Hermione know on purpose. If possible, he didn't want Barty Jr. to get the Marauder's Map. .
