Chapter 37: The First Contest (Part I)

Leaving aside what kind of small actions Karkaroff or Madame Maxime were going to take, by the time Holly's lunch was almost finished, and only the last few after-dinner fruits were left, Professor Flitwick also staggered down from the faculty chair, and Professor McGonagall walked down, but the two looked a little funny when they were short. Fortunately www.biquge.info Professor McGonagall didn't go too fast, and the two teachers kept moving at about the same speed from the faculty chair to the long table in their respective colleges.

"Alright, Holly. It's time to prepare. Professor Flitwick patted Holly on the back with some difficulty, perhaps he had wanted to pat Harry Potter on the shoulder like McGonagall did, but this task seemed difficult for him, at least unless he was standing on a stool, and it would still be difficult to reach Holly's shoulder.

"Well, okay, Professor. Holly felt the movement behind him, and waited until Professor Flitwick was some distance away from the stool before standing up, not forgetting to wipe the food crumbs from his mouth with a wet wipe.

"Go ahead, the warriors need to get ready on the playground. ”

"Hmm. Holly answered, greeted Erinka and the surrounding classmates, and walked straight out of the auditorium in the direction of the playground. As he descended the stairs on the way, Holly also saw Professor McGonagall and Harry Potter not far ahead, both of whom looked a little nervous, McGonagall's hand on Harry's shoulder seemed to tremble slightly, and Harry Potter's legs seemed to tremble slightly.

McGonagall's lips opened and closed from time to time, indicating that he seemed to be explaining something to Harry Potter, perhaps a strategy, perhaps just comforting. However, a considerable amount of time passed during the journey from McGonagall to Harry Potter, leaving not much time for Harry Potter to be afraid. However, he didn't give Holly any chance to try to communicate with Harry Potter, after all, when he entered the waiting room, it was no longer an environment for two people.

Along the edge of the woods, Holly is a little interested in the location of the dragon, after all, unlike Harry Potter who wanders around the school all day long, Holly still stays in the library, common room or secret room more often to absorb a lot of information from all sides, or deal with some textual things, and Holly is indeed not as familiar with this edge of Hogwarts as Harry Potter.

The two men in front of her walked slowly until McGonagall stopped at the door of a tent. After a brief conversation with Harry Potter, Harry walked in and McGonagall slowly turned around to go back to school. Although it is not certain how much Harry Potter has benefited from the explanation, it is certain that McGonagall is indeed in much better shape at this time than at the beginning, and her frown seems to have relaxed, at least the nervous look in the hall can not be seen on her face.

"Holly, did you come alone?" McGonagall saw Holly walking slowly not far away, and instead of leaving immediately, she stopped to say hello.

"Well, Professor Flitwick was supposed to send me here, but I thought it would be too much trouble for the professor to come over so far, so I came by myself. Holly responded.

"Also, Filius can really save a lot of worry by having a student like you. McGonagall sighed, as if thinking of something, "Well, it's still a smart student like you who makes people feel at ease, unlike the Gryffindor ......"

"Okay, but Ravenclaw has its own Ravenclaw-specific situation. Holly didn't know what to say, so she could only follow McGonagall's words.

"Well, I don't know what to say to you, but you're ready for your situation, aren't you?" said McGonagall, "Keep a cool head, and even if the situation gets out of hand, there will be a teacher or other wizard on hand to help control the situation." But for you, I don't think there will be any chance for anyone else to play. Nodding, McGonagall said to Holly.

"Hmm. Holly could only nod his head, indicating that he had heard.

"Alright, let's go inside. Luther should be waiting for you inside. McGonagall said goodbye. Then he turned and left.

At the same time, Holly also lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in. Victor Krum stood in the corner, looking like he was not approaching, obviously a little nervous, even a little nervous. Fleur Delacour not far away was not as nervous as Krum, but she was also in a window position, clutching the corner of her clothes, which had been twisted into a lot of wrinkles, indicating that she was not as calm as she seemed.

As for Harry Potter, who had just been sent by McGonagall, his performance looked even worse. It's not that he can't even stand now, but he keeps pacing inside the tent, and although the carpet absorbs a lot of sound, Harry Potter still makes the two of them a little unhappy when he dangles like a fly in front of everyone's eyes.

It was such a scene when Holly came in, but fortunately it didn't last long. Soon Luther Bagmund walked in with some excitement, which seemed a little out of step with the tense atmosphere in the tent.

"Well, alright, everyone's here. "Luther Bagmund seems to be in charge of the preparation. "When the crowd is full, we'll start the draw. Bagmun held up the small purple bag in his hand and shook it at the four men.

"From the bag you have to choose a model, which is the enemy you will face later. Well, everyone's game is different, you know, the exact same game will make the audience lose interest. Oh, by the way, your mission is to get the Golden Egg. Luther Bagmund finally added.

Bagmun didn't get much of a response, and Krum and Fleur continued to repeat their previous movements in their positions, while Harry Potter seemed to be shaking his head there, not knowing what he was observing.

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming out outside, and at the same time, there were all kinds of excited loud voices, and it sounded as if the audience was entering.

When there was no more sound of footsteps outside, Luther Bagmund reappeared in the middle of the tent, opened the bag in his hand, and appeared in front of everyone one by one.

"Okay, ladies first. "Bagmund appeared first in front of Fleur, then Holly, then Krum, and finally Harry Potter's turn.
