Hogwarts Homecoming

After the second game, four months passed by in a flash, and finally, the final game of the Triwizard Tournament came.

Starting early in the morning, people began to arrive at the viewing stand of the finals venue one after another.

Even though the current situation in the magic world is not stable, there are still many people who are willing to support this game.

When Harry, Hermione and Ron came downstairs to have breakfast in the Great Hall, they saw some people standing in the foyer, which immediately made the three of them look surprised.

Sirius and Remus - their appearance was expected by Harry, because Harry wrote a letter to Sirius, telling his godfather that he would appear in the third project.

But when he actually saw his father's two friends, Harry's heart was still overwhelmed with joy.

The appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Bill was completely beyond their expectations.

"I didn't expect it!"

Mrs. Weasley was the first person to notice that they were coming down from upstairs. She pushed away Sirius who was standing in front of him, ran over quickly, and gave Harry and the three of them a hug each before they could say anything. .

"Oh, you're taking my breath away, Mom!"

Ron, who was finally the one to hug, coughed twice and said in an unnatural tone. He looked over his mother's shoulder and looked at his father who was smiling at him.

"Are you all here to watch the game, Dad?"

"Amosta wrote us a letter, inviting us to watch the game, and telling us that you were about to play. Knowing this, we immediately made the decision to come to Hogwarts to watch the game."

Mr. Weasley looked at Ron with a smile and said.

"We also wrote a letter to Charlie and told him about this, but those fire dragons can't live without him. He asked me to say sorry to you. As for Percy-"

Bill shrugged and explained,

"You know his style, Ron."

"It's not entirely Percy's fault-"

Kind-hearted Remus said with a smile,

"As you already know, he has now become my assistant. While I am not there, Amelia has also come to Hogwarts. There must be someone left in the workshop who can handle emergency matters."

Amelia

Harry's eyes fell on the beautiful girl next to Sirius, and his mouth opened slightly, looking a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, this girl seemed to be a wizard from the American wizarding world. How did she come to England? Moreover, judging from Remus's tone, she seemed to have entered a learning machine workshop.

The girl gave them a reserved smile, as if nervous about her surroundings.

After Harry and Hermione responded with similar smiles, Harry jumped down the steps and gave Sirius a hug as he came up.

"How does it feel?"

Sirius affectionately rubbed Harry's black hair that never refused to obey, and said with a smile,

"This is an unprecedented big scene, just like the Quidditch World Cup finals. Will you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"Oh, actually it's not bad--"

Harry said something, but his less loud voice showed that he was actually a little nervous.

On the other side, Mrs. Weasley finally let go of Ron. She held Ron's cheek and took a closer look. Then, she pulled Harry to her side and took a closer look.

"You two look a little thinner!"

Mrs. Weasley's round face was filled with anger.

"It's all that idiot"

"Molly."

Mr. Weasley interrupted Mrs. Weasley's complaints with a gentle voice.

"Now that this matter has been resolved, let it pass. Moreover, the three of them are about to step onto the field and we should not create bad emotions for them at this time."

This was a reason that Mrs. Weasley couldn't argue with. She took a deep breath and put a smile on her face again.

"Oh, okay, your father is right. You must have not had breakfast yet. This is not okay. You still have a fierce competition to deal with!"

So, surrounded by a group of people, the three Harrys were pushed into the auditorium.

But to be honest, in this situation, they didn't have much appetite. Even Ron, who liked to eat as a way to relieve stress, realized that he would step onto the field in less than two hours, and his figure would be completely covered. After the European wizarding world saw it, they couldn't eat even a piece of sausage.

"This is not okay--"

Mrs. Weasley frowned and looked at Ron, who was sipping the pumpkin juice in his cup and his legs were shaking nervously.

"Fred, George and Ginny are not as nervous as you, Ron. Your two brothers even carried a bag of meat pies before going into the woods."

"Oh, of course they have a good appetite, because they don't have to worry about being in front of tens of thousands of wizards"

Ron muttered, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hermione's suddenly raised and sharp voice,

"Into the woods?"

Hermione felt like she was struck by lightning. She stared at Mrs. Weasley in shock.

"Mrs. Weasley, you just said that Fred, George, and Ginny went into the forest. It's the Forbidden Forest, but why did they go there? Isn't that the venue for the third event?!"

Snap!

Harry's hand suddenly loosened his grip on the toast, his mouth opened wide, and there was a hint of panic in his blank expression.

"Oh, you don't know yet?"

Seeing his appearance, Sirius was slightly surprised and said,

"Amosta took many students into the Forbidden Forest early in the morning, all the students in the physical education class he taught. He told us that those students were one of the examiners of the Warriors and Assistants."

Ron's expression became painfully visible to the naked eye, and he said mournfully,

"Is it too late to change assistants now, Hermione?"

Normally, Ron would have been criticized by Hermione if he was so depressed, but now, the expression on Hermione's face that was rapidly losing color was ugly.

"The truth is out."

Harry said in despair,

"No wonder Professor Blaine wants to find assistants for the Warriors. Hermione, Fred, George and Ginny are not willing to say anything about the final exam of the physical education class. Maybe the content of their exam is to kill us in the game?"

"Most likely, Harry."

Hermione's lips moved and she gasped.

The three people who were about to participate in the competition looked at each other with lifeless expressions.

"Is this challenge so scary?"

The conversation between the three Harrys made Sirius look dumbfounded.

"Is it scarier than fire dragons and mermaids? Well, the principals of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons schools also saw those little wizards entering the Forbidden Forest. They looked relaxed."

"That's because they don't understand, Sirius!"

Harry's mood became obviously agitated,

"If they know how we train in physical education class and in Professor Blaine's spiritual world, then they will know that facing this kind of challenge, the possibility of victory is almost zero!"

Sirius and Remus looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, Sirius smiled.

"If that's the case, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up?"

give up?

The three people who were in extreme anxiety stopped talking.

It's impossible to give up, and they don't want to go behind people's backs and look like cowards.

"I believe that since Amosta set up such a challenge, he must have taken your abilities into consideration."

Amelia, who was watching clearly, suddenly said,

"He can't possibly let you face an invincible opponent, right?"

"Cheer up, girls and boys!"

Mr. Weasley smiled and said,

"It's too early to lose confidence now. We still have to wait and see whether Amosta will announce the rules of the competition. Besides, your advantage is obvious, isn't it?"

"Advantage?"

Ron's lips turned white;

"I don't see where our advantage is."

"At the very least, the warriors of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang still don't understand that the inconspicuous opponents Amosta found for them are actually a very scary group of guys, aren't they?"

Mr. Weasley's words made the three Harrys frown slightly.

"Is that an advantage, Sirius?"

Harry asked.

"Of course, didn't Amosta teach you?"

Sirius gave Harry an encouraging smile,

"Understanding your opponent is the prerequisite for victory." (End of Chapter)
