Coming out of the Ministry's makeshift office at Hogwarts, Alan teleported to the Gryffindor common room, hiding his figure, approaching Ron, plucking out a few of his hairs.

Ron grinned in pain, but didn't know what was going on, cursed a few words, and buried himself in the search for "Strange Magical Problems and Their Solutions" to finish his thesis.

Two paragraphs had been scribbled on the parchment in front of him, and looking at the length of the parchment, he was afraid that he would have to fight here for a long time without the help of Hermione and Harry.

Alan left Gryffindor satisfied, wandering the road from the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic to Gryffindor, which was relatively cold, and at this time, most of the young wizards were in the common room or library, and Alan had calculated that no one would pay attention to it.

Sure enough, he was stopped by the Ministry of Magic officials who came to consult, and in the surprised eyes of the other party, he happily agreed to take him as a hostage for Krum.

On the day of the second match, at breakfast, Professor McGonagall looked serious and found a few of the chosen hostages and called them to follow her.

Ron didn't know why, and he followed behind Luna and Ginny in a daze. Ginny looked a little nervous, and Ron couldn't help but get nervous too.

Entering the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic, Albert and the other school hostages were already waiting.

On the long table in front of them, six cups were placed, and the brown liquid inside smelled of chocolate, bubbling and bubbling.

"As hostages who need to be rescued by the warriors, you will be taken to the bottom of the lake by the merfolk in a while, but don't worry about safety, drink this, you will not feel any pain, and you will not be in any danger. Crouch gestured to the potions on the table.

Ron's eyes widened and he looked at Crouch in disbelief, he raised his hand and wanted to speak, but Crouch ignored him and just waved his hand to make him wait.

"We say to the warriors, if you are not rescued in an hour, there is no hope. But in reality, you will not be in any danger. Crouch looked at his watch, "Okay, hurry up, it's easy, just drink them." ”

"Excuse me, sir, why did I become a warrior?" asked Ron, pale and courageous.

Crouch frowned, "You yourself agreed to be a hostage of the Warriors." ”

"No, I'm not, I don't. Ron shook his head in horror.

"What he said was true. Luna said lightly.

For the first time, Ron felt that the mad girl's words were so eloquent, and he glanced at Luna gratefully and looked at Mr. Crouch expectantly.

Crouch's brow tightened, there must be something wrong with this, but the game is about to start, there is no time to change their candidates, and he will not tolerate any problems in this game. Since Sirius's unjust case, his power in the ministry has shrunk, and he is in a difficult situation, and he is now in charge of such a major event as the Three Witch Tournament, and there must be no mistakes, he can't afford to lose this person, and his prestige can't be hit in any way.

"Ron Weasley, you're a Gryffindor, be brave. Your escape will discredit Arthur and Percy, and I'm afraid they'll come across as overwhelmed. Crouch walked behind Ron, put his hands on his shoulders, and shoved him towards the table where the potions were kept, Ron could hear the threat in his deliberately raised voice.

"What he said is also true. Luna's voice rang in Ron's ears again.

The mad girl is still so uncute, Ron looked at the cup in front of him, his eyes widened, and a thought pierced his heart like a spell: "If you show bravery, will Dad and Percy be reused?"

After thinking about it for a lifetime, his heart beat wildly again, for the sake of his father and Percy, he resolutely could not retreat, and he must be with him to the end.

Ron picked up a cup and drank the potion inside.

"Well, that's good, you were the first to drink the potion, you were brave. Rest assured, Krum is strong and will rescue you, you don't have to worry. ”

"What?!

For the other young wizards of Hogwarts, today is a great event. As they were leaving, they walked up to Allen and wished him good luck tomorrow, in a cheerful and confident tone. Obviously, they all believed that Alan was going to put on another great performance, just like in the first project.

Alan didn't lose his demeanor by playing right away, and he smiled and nodded his head in thanks.

Soon, Alan also got up and walked towards the lake.

As he walked down the lawn through the two oak gates, he saw that the seats that had surrounded the dragon paddock last November were now lined up on the other side of the lake, and they were reflected in the lake below.

It was the coldest morning of winter, and the trees were covered in frost as if they were oozing frost. The sky was blue, like a shining mirror, and the sunlight passed through it, bright and cold, shining on the cold surface of the lake, and it did not have the slightest effect on warmth.

The referees sat at another table covered with a golden tablecloth at the water's edge. Alan walked around the lake.

Dumbledore smiled and winked at Allen, and Crouch sat indifferently behind the long table, not even looking at Allen.

Madame Maxim smiled softly, as if nothing could spoil her good mood, and Karkaroff gathered around his precious student Krum.

Krum wore a thick, long-haired cloak and gave Eren a defiant smile.

Ludo Bagman's voice suddenly resounded on the shores of the lake.

"In this competition, the Warriors need to go to the bottom of the lake to find the treasure they miss the most, but there is a time limit, and if it is more than an hour, then there is no hope. Next, allow me to introduce their baby. ”

"Luna Lovegood – Alan Harris's most missed baby. ”

Hermione, who was sitting in the stands, told Penelope next to her about Ellen and Luna with a mocking smile, "Don't think he's the favorite is you. ”

"Harry Potter – Ginny Weasley, Fleur Delacour – Albert Harris. Suddenly, Bagman's voice suddenly rose an octave, "Victor Krum—Ron Weasley!"

There was an uproar in the arena, which was so unexpected. The unspeakable secret between Krum and Ron was told over and over again by the young wizards.

Like the other wizards, Krum was stunned by the news. After reacting, his expression turned pale and his lips trembled: "No... I'm not, I don't!"

Eventually, he waved his arm and let out a roar that knocked off the hat of Karkaroff beside him.
