Hogwarts Homecoming

The condition for winning is to get more badges.

Meaning, keep the badge in your hand and then take away someone else’s badge?

Viktor, Fleur, Cedric and Hermione subconsciously clenched the badges in their hands.

The rules do sound simple, but they don't seem to be that easy.

"It seems you all understand."

Professor Brain seemed to have no intention of giving any unnecessary explanations. He glanced at the watch on his hand.

"There are still ten minutes left. You can briefly discuss the tactics first. When the time is up, Mr. Bagman will issue instructions."

Well.

Harry raised his hands, but hesitated to speak.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that."

Before Harry could say anything, Amosta understood it first.

"All the props you can use are your wands and things found in the Forbidden Forest. Other magic items are prohibited in this contest."

Hearing this, Harry's face suddenly dropped.

Now, people began to enter the stands, hundreds of students filed in, and the air was filled with excited words and chaotic footsteps.

The sky was a clear blue, with not a single cloud floating above their heads, which at least meant that the possibility of rain today was not very high.

Harry saw Sirius, Remus, the Weasley family, and Amelia all walking up to the high platform.

He thought Sirius would say hello to him, but in the end, Sirius was just communicating with Amelia eagerly and forgot to look at him.

Looking at this scene, a subtle feeling emerged from Harry's heart.

After the students took their seats, some faculty members stepped onto the high platform—Professor Snape, Professor Victor, and Mrs. Hooch all held broomsticks.

"We will be patrolling the Forbidden Forest."

Mrs. Huo Qi said to all the participants,

"If you can't hold on and decide to give up the game, then use your wands to shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will go there in time to save you, do you understand?"

The young wizards participating in the competition all nodded, and Ron caught a glimpse of Madam Pomfrey and several St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries who were standing next to several stretchers and arranging medicine boxes with a serious look on the side of the podium. After receiving special support from the therapist, my calves became weak for a while.

Judging from the rules mentioned by Professor Brain, it is unavoidable to play against other warrior groups, so at least injuries are unavoidable.

Suddenly, a sharp and harsh sound suppressed the noise in the spectator field.

People immediately followed the sound and found that the four large screens standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest began to light up from the dark state.

Black writing appeared on the large white screen:

Cedric Diggory: 41 points.

Fleur Delacour: 40 points.

Viktor Krum: 41 points.

Hermione Granger: 42 points.

This is the score of the four warriors after the first round. However, due to an accident in the second round, the results were invalid, so the scores of the warriors did not change.

The results of the four people are very similar, which means that who can win the final game depends on the result of this game.

Buzz!

Several surveillance cameras suddenly flew over from the border of the Forbidden Forest, hovering in mid-air. The focus of the cameras was focused on the warriors and their teammates on the rostrum who were waiting for instructions.

The scores on the big screen were hidden, and each Warriors team occupied a large screen.

The sudden burst of cheers at the scene was simply earth-shattering. In the dark green forest, a large group of frightened birds flapped their wings and flew deeper into the forbidden forest close to the tree crown.

Except for Wickdom, no one could remain completely calm when seeing their own face appear on the big screen.

Not even Hermione, Cedric and Fleur, who had already been through the competition twice.

Because in the first game, the big screen was set up outside the stadium, and they could not see them playing with the fire dragon in the field. However, in the second round of the game, they were underwater and they could not be seen in the live broadcast. This was the first time since the competition. For the first time, they realize that their every move is being watched by thousands of people.

"It's absolutely crazy. The entire European wizarding world is watching."

Ron said with a pale face. Within a second, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Be careful, Ron, we're being broadcast live!"

Hermione reminded quickly, but her face was also extremely pale.

"Now!"

Ludo, who came under the referee, stood up in high spirits. He pointed his wand at his throat and said "loud voice". Then, his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands.

"Warriors, please take your positions!"

Amidst another burst of cheers that shook the world, the twelve little wizards descended from the stairs to the rostrum and ran past a group of goblins maintaining equipment in a panic. After hesitating for a while under the big screen, the four warriors led the group The officer selected a stone door and quickly ran to the door to wait for the next order.

Hermione, Harry and Ron stood in front of the stone door on the far right. The doorway in front of them was not closed with anything, but was empty. However, behind the doorway there seemed to be a long road that was completely closed but without any lighting. It was as dark as the corridor.

But Harry stretched his head and looked from outside the doorpost to behind the door. It was a completely normal forest again.

"Now, I ask you warriors to get ready."

Ludo Bagman's voice sounded again, and Harry quickly stopped his wild thoughts. He took a deep breath and looked back at the competition stage.

At this distance, Sirius and the others' faces were almost invisible. Harry could only vaguely see that they were waving at him.

Ron was still muttering in a pale voice: Crazy. Crazy

Hermione, who had experience in competitions, was trying to adjust her breathing. It was obvious that the finals also made her nervous.

Harry turned his head to look at Neville, Luna and Cedric, and found that they were just standing there, without communicating anything at all.

It seems that everyone is the same

This discovery made Harry feel better. He exhaled heavily, and then--

Ding!

A sharp and short voice rang in Harry's ears,

"The third match of the Triwizard Tournament begins, warriors please enter!"

Mr. Bagman's voice was still echoing in the air, and the loudest collective cheer made the leaves in front of Harry rustle——

"Let's go!"

Hermione said in a voice much sharper than usual, and then stepped into the door.

Harry and Ron had no time to observe the situation of the other groups of warriors, and they hurriedly followed.

The moment they stepped into the door, the deafening noise outside suddenly disappeared, and there was only the clenched breathing of the three people in the dark passage.

This sudden change made Hermione freeze in place. She quickly turned around and saw Harry and Ron behind her, but the door that had just sent them in disappeared.

The three people were now in an absolutely dark space, as if it was the outer space of the universe, and there were abysses everywhere that wanted to devour people!

"What's going on?"

The three of them seemed to be the only things that glowed in the dark abyss, which allowed them to see each other, but other than that, everything was gone.

"Where are we? Where did everyone go?"

Ron asked stutteringly, fear causing his pupils to shrink to the extreme.

"I don't know, Ron."

Hermione panted.

The surrounding darkness made the three people unconsciously lean together. They picked up their wands and held them in front of them to emit light, trying to see more things.

However, this was completely useless. Their vision seemed to be blocked and they could not see anything.

"What should we do now? Is this a test? Find a way out?"

This alternative fear is also a great test for Harry's nerves. It's like being exiled by the world. Except for Hermione and Ron, the world has abandoned him!

"It seems so."

A huge sense of helplessness filled Hermione's heart. This torture is different from facing the dragon and Voldemort. The fear is more pure, as if facing fear itself!

Hermione trembled and pointed her wand at the ground, but still saw nothing. However, she touched it with her hand and found that the ground under her feet was smooth and solid.

Harry also carefully used his toes to explore the surroundings and found that the surroundings seemed to be a bottomless abyss, but in fact, it was all normal ground.

This discovery made Hermione and the other two feel a little better.

"But we should go that way!"

Ron's voice, like a scream, echoed in the boundless space.

Hermione pursed her lips and held the wand flat on the cane.

"Show me the way!"

The wand spun like a gyroscope. It almost flew up.

In the eerie darkness, three pale faces looked at each other.

Despair was roaring.
