Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 322 The protagonist always appears last

At 8:40, Dumbledore and several other referees arrived at the scene, with four sleeping figures floating behind them - Ron, Hermione, Zhang Qiu, and a little girl with cloud-like silver hair.

The little girl looked to be no more than eight years old. No one needed to ask, there was no doubt that she was Fleur Delacour's sister.

Everyone in the audience stretched their heads to look at the four unconscious people, confused.

At the warriors' starting point, three warriors have gathered.

The warriors were very excited when they saw the "hostages" they were going to rescue, and wanted to rush over to check on their conditions.

Mr. Bagman stopped them. "Wow! It's not time yet," he said to them seriously. "Your performance is not until half past nine. You only have one hour."

Sainz was also at the starting point and greeted the twenty-one mermaids coming out of the lake, "Hello, Chief Mercus."

"Hello, Mr. Autumn." Mercus passed Sainz and looked back, "Dumbledore, are those the hostages?"

"That's them, Ms. Mercus," Dumbledore said as he walked to the lake. "I'll leave the rest of the time in your hands."

Perhaps they had other communications in advance, so Mercus did not promise to guarantee their safety. Instead, he grinned with his yellow fangs and gave the warriors a sinister look, "Don't worry, Dumbledore. I will definitely not let them succeed so easily."

Although the people stopped by Buckman could not understand her language, they could still see her malicious expression, which made them even more excited.

"Leave it to me, Professor Dumbledore," Sainz made a gesture to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore handed over the control of the four people behind him to him.

"Let's go, Chief Mercus."

The mermaid leader nodded to Dumbledore and went into the water. The twenty mermen were left at the water's edge. Sainz cast a Bubblehead Charm and followed the four "hostages" into the water.

The mermaid leader was leading the way, moving very fast. She knew he could keep up. Sainz created an invisible thruster for himself, sprayed a column of water behind him, and quickly headed towards the mermaid village.

In less than ten minutes they arrived at the square in the middle of the mermaid village. Mercus called out and several mermaids came out, took the four people and tied them to the tail of the mermaid statue in the center of the square with water grass.

Sainz checked the condition of the four people and found that there was no problem. He thanked Mercus and quickly returned.

Without the mermaid leader's drag, Sainz's speed increased to a higher level, and he returned to the starting point in just a few minutes.

He emerged from the water, tapped his wand to dry himself, nodded to Dumbledore, and tacitly did not reveal any security-related information, "All right, Professor Dumbledore."

When it was almost nine o'clock, Dumbledore nodded to Bagman and said, "I'll go over first."

He went to the referee's seat set up by the water not far from the starting point. There was a long table covered with a golden tablecloth.

After Dumbledore left, Bagman looked a little anxious, "Mr. Autumn, do you know what happened to Harry Potter?"

"not sure."

Sainz estimated that Harry Potter did not find a way to get into the water. In the original trajectory, he was still reading books in the library until he fell asleep the night before. As a result, if Dobby the elf had not found him, he would have missed the second game.

There is a branch in this place. In the film and television series, the credit is given to Neville Longbottom. In fact, it was Dobby who stole the gillyweed after "eavesdropping" on Moody's words.

The reason why Dobby was able to overhear the news was that Moody discovered that Dobby admired Harry Potter very much and used him to pass on the information.

Sainz thought with interest that Dobby was still serving the Malfoy family. Without this tool, how would Moody remind Harry?

After all, he was not a professor of Potions or Herbology, and there seemed to be no reason for him to suddenly teach the function of Gillyweed in class. To say the least, even if he could find an opportunity to explain it, the purpose behind it seemed a bit too strong.

Although Bagman's tone was filled with anxiety, as a commentator, he could not neglect his duties. It was almost nine o'clock, so he had to start his work.

"Loud voice," Bagman pointed his wand at his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. I believe there is no need to introduce the warriors beside me. They have become household names not only in Hogwarts, but also in the entire wizarding world!

They will go into the water at 9:30 to rescue their most important person, and they only have one hour, when the judges will score them based on their performance! "

After Bagman said that, the crowd in the stands all turned their attention to the Warriors' starting point.

Suddenly people discovered a problem, "Why are there only three people!" someone exclaimed.

"Where's Harry Potter?" someone said worriedly.

After the first competition, most of the students no longer worried about whether Harry had used despicable means to obtain a place as a warrior. Apparently, they still had some sense of themselves. Just like Ron, they knew they would not be able to get away with it in front of a dragon.

After realizing this, most students have turned to support Porter. After all, one more Warrior spot for their school means one more chance of winning.

Where there are supporters, there are certainly opponents. Malfoy and his gang would definitely not miss this opportunity to ridicule. As expected, the doctor sneered, "They must have run away out of fear!"

"Or maybe he hasn't solved the secret of the golden egg at all!" Pansy Parkinson, a die-hard Malfoy fan, immediately agreed.

After hearing what they said, some students couldn't help but begin to wonder if Harry really didn't dare to show up because he hadn't solved the secret of the golden egg.

Malfoy spared no effort to loudly reinforce to everyone the impression that Potter was incompetent; on the other side of the referee's seat, Karkaroff showed a smug smile.

By 9:20, Harry Potter still hadn't shown up, and the students' chatter became louder. The fish people began to sing their songs, which sounded like noise to humans.

"Sainz," Jerry said in Sainz's ear, "Harry Potter has mastered the method."

"How did you do it?"

"It's Moody."

"Go directly to him?"

"It's a house elf."

"Or Gillyweed? Ordinary elves don't have the courage to steal from a professor's office."

"It was given to the elf by Moody. He ordered him to give the Gillyweed to Harry Potter, but he was not allowed to say his name."

"Okay, although it's not as subtle as using Dobby, it's still pretty good. After all, house elves are better at keeping secrets than students."

Sainz thought indifferently, "Harry Potter really can't solve any level by himself. He needs Moody's escort at every level. I guess he has been smiling on the surface, but MMP in his heart!"

The protagonist always appears last. It was not until 9:27 that Harry finally ran to the scene panting.
