Chapter 0959: ☄ The Epic Quest ☄ of the Triwizard Tournament

'Students, Professors, and Presidents......

o(*^▽^*)o

'I'm going to prepare for the second subject of the Triwizard Tournament now, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back yet, so I'm sure I'll be back in a month or two anyway, because the speed of time between planes is not the same...... Anyway, no one will participate in that subject, and I hope those brave warriors will not be burned or bitten to death by the fire dragons! ’

(???????? -)??

"However, I believe that with Dumbledore and his super bad old men watching the scene, it must not be useless enough to cause people to kill easily, right?" ’

(*???? ╰╯`??)??

You may not believe it, but people suddenly thought of a super fun competition, but for the time being, it will be kept secret, and when the time comes, it will definitely surprise everyone! But I won't tell you now!! ’

o(?? ^`)o

You must remember that all of you must gather in this hall at 9 a.m. on February 24 next year, and you will know what the second event of the competition will be, because ah, they will be ready and come back by then." ’

(*?? ︶?? *).。.:*??

'Now......

'In their absence, they temporarily taught everyone the second harmless Defence Against the Dark Arts Spell that was originally intended to be taught in the third public class, and that was the Demon Duncan Great Cleavage (Improved by Professor Anne)! ’

“……”

"Professor Annie, why hasn't she come back yet, Ron, what time is it?"

After looking at the wall where the notice and the spell about the 'Demon Duncan' Great Cleavage was hung for a moment, Harry turned his head to look at his friend Ron, who was beside him, a little helplessly.

It was the morning of the 24th of February, and Harry didn't know what time it was, but they had gathered here since they had woken up in the morning, and had waited in excitement and apprehension for the appearance of Professor Anne, who had been missing for months, and the announcement of the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, which had been in charge of the problem.

In the first event of the Triwizard Tournament on November 24, there was no doubt that Hermione was the one who received the highest score and was temporarily in first place......

Because, with a strange transformation spell, she successfully turned the Swedish short-nosed dragon into a sheep, and then easily got her golden egg, and made all the judges have to give her flawless transformation charm a perfect score, even the hateful Headmaster Karkaroff who deliberately defended his shortness and gave him Harry a 4 points, so that he had to tie for second place with Krum.

So, Harry was now looking forward to the upcoming Professor Annie and the other party's subject two, because those were the last two chances for him, Krum and Fleur to overtake Hermione and take the first place, and nothing they said would give Hermione that much ahead of them again!

But now, it had been several months since Professor Anne left, and the other party's notice and magic skills had been hanging on the walls of the Great Hall for months, and he really couldn't wait! However, it was a pity that until now, the Professor Anne they were expecting had not appeared, and he even wondered if the little girl Professor had forgotten about it.

"Humph!"

"I don't know ......"

Ron first glanced at Hermione next to Harry, and after noticing that the other party was also looking at him with Harry, his face suddenly changed, and he directly turned his face to the side.

"Oh! Please......"

"Ron, haven't we already agreed, we've been completely reconciled?!"

Harry still couldn't figure out what was going on in Ron's hot and cold attitude, and he didn't know what the other party was thinking.

You know, before the Christmas ball, he spent a lot of gold Galleons to mail order a brand new party dress for the other party as a Christmas gift, and then let the other party successfully reconcile with him (was bought), but now, why did he suddenly become that attitude again?

“……”

"Ron! Do you still have a problem with me? If there is any, just say it, and I will consider trying to correct it, as long as the reasons you say are reasonable! ”

Hermione never imagined that a boy would be so cautious...... However, she didn't want her good friend to keep fighting a cold war with her, so she still asked patiently and pleasantly.

After all, their relationship has been cold for almost half a school year, and she also hopes that she can be comforted by her friends or share the joy of victory with each other after the competition in any event? So, if she could, she really didn't want to continue the cold war with Ron.

"Nope!"

"How dare I have a problem with Miss Granger, the best lady at Hogwarts? You're the 'strongest warrior' and Krum's dance partner, so I don't have any opinion at all!! ”

Although Ron said that, I am afraid that even the somewhat dull Harry could clearly hear it: Ron still has some opinions about Hermione, especially because of the incident at the Yule Ball?

"Ah......h

So, apart from the awkward lifting of his glasses, Harry turned his head to look at Hermione on his left, and then at Ron, who had a cold face on his right, he didn't know what to say for a while.

“!!”

"Ron......

What Harry could hear, the clever Miss Hermione of all trades must have understood first, so what could she do other than sigh helplessly and shake her head at the other party?

"The reason I agreed to be Krum's dance partner is because you and Harry never invited me!"

"Also, I've told you more than once!"

"I went out with him that night because he asked me for advice on the 'Great Cleavage of Demon Duncan', and I ruined his wand and had to give him a new one, which is definitely not what you imagined to happen!"

"Oh! My God, what do I do when I explain so much to you? ”

"Well, whatever you want, but Ron, I must warn you: if you continue the cold war with me because of this kind of thing, I will be very, very disappointed in you!"

After saying that, Hermione, who didn't want to explain too much, also lowered her face and turned to look at Harry beside her:

"Harry!"

"It's eight forty-five in the morning, fifteen minutes before Professor Anne said nine, you can see it, even Professor Dumbledore is not in a hurry, what's the use of you being in a hurry? So I advise you to adjust your condition first and wait patiently, Professor Anne will definitely show up on time! ”

"And, Harry......"

"I have a hunch that the project in charge of Professor Anne will definitely be extraordinary, if you don't adjust your condition quickly, it will definitely not be so easy to surpass me in the score, because I will definitely do my best, and I will never give you any chance to surpass me easily!"

Seeing that Ron was still angry and angry with herself, Hermione looked directly at the watch on her wrist in shame, and then directly told Harry the exact time, after saying that, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the professorship, patiently and expectantly waiting for their Professor Anne to appear.

"But!"

"Harry gave me a gift at Christmas, but you didn't give me a new wand......"

Ron, who was reluctant to admit it easily, muttered hatefully beside him at this time, he had been resentful of a friend's behavior of giving someone a new wand rather than giving one to himself.

Because, he Ron had to use a wand that was repaired after it was broken for more than two months......

"Ron......

"Thankfully, if you hadn't secretly made a mistake in the Gryffindor common room to try out the 'Great Cleavage of the Demon Duncan', which resulted in the destruction of your own wand, I wouldn't have gotten more than just a screaming letter from your mother right now!"

"You brought it on yourself, and I don't have the money to buy you a second new wand, so don't even think about it unless I win first place in the Triwizard Tournament!!"

After saying that, he looked at his watch again, and Hermione, who felt that the time was almost up, snorted coldly and turned her head again, not planning to continue the meaningless topic with Ron, who had a particularly serious temper and was like a big boy who didn't grow up.

“……”

"Humph!!"

Seeing that Hermione, who didn't seem to be able to speak of the top student level in terms of debate skills, blushed, and didn't know whether it was angry or ashamed, Ron, who also snorted coldly and turned his head, ready to continue the cold war with that hateful friend.

"Ron......

"Hermione ......"

Forget it......

Harry, who was caught in the middle, first turned his head to look to the left, then to the right, and then he finally didn't say anything, just sighed slightly, and quickly adjusted his state according to Hermione's instructions just now, so as to deal with the Professor Annie who might appear later and the subject two that the other party was responsible for.

Because this time, they can't know the content of the competition in advance and prepare for those fire dragons like the previous event!

He'd asked Hermione before, and even she didn't know a single thing! Because, that Professor Anne has been gone for a long time, so the four of them really have no other way than to prepare themselves in a state of apprehension.

Time passes minute by minute, without anyone's will......

Soon, as soon as the scheduled time of '9 a.m. on February 24' was approaching, Karkarov, who was in the professor's chair and was very unreliable and biased in grading the Warriors, finally couldn't help it.

“……”

"Dumbledore, it's almost time now, and I don't think that Professor Anne will be able to come, so I suggest: immediately follow the backup plan we prepared in advance for the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, what do you think?"

It's already this time, and Professor Anne, who promised to be back on time, has no information at all, which can't help but make Principal Karkaroff of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a little anxious.

So, after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but come to Dumbledore's side and persuade him.

Regarding the disappearance of Professor Anne, who was in charge of subject two, and the delay in returning to Hogwarts, the judges of their competition had actually discussed and made a backup plan last month...... Because, the important things like the Triwizard Tournament and the important big events that pull the whole of Europe will definitely not all be pinned on a little girl! After all, if the opponent does not come back for a long time, which leads to the delay of the game, it will be a big joke!

So, at this point, Principal Karkaroff felt that it was time to activate that backup plan, and with the ancient pact power of the Goblet of Fire, they could not easily postpone the second event! Besides, he Karkaroff still felt that their backup plan would obviously give his student Krum a certain advantage over some elusive little girl?

"Hmm......"

Dumbledore couldn't help but pull out his pocket watch as well, and then looked at the time.

It was already eight fifty-nine in the morning, and it was half a minute before it was scheduled to be nine, and the fact that the little girl Anne still showed no sign of it made him feel a little embarrassed...... He didn't know whether to announce the backup plan, or to explain it to the increasingly irritated students and tell them to wait.

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"I also think that Mr. Karkaroff's suggestion is reasonable, and we really shouldn't wait any longer, because no one knows if Professor Anne will come back......"

At this time, Madame Maxim on the side also began to help.

Because she knew the backup plan for the second project, and if she used that plan, she felt that she would be able to give her student Fleur more guidance, and when the time came, they would surely be able to turn the tide and catch up with the lowest scorer, trying to overtake Potter and Krum, who were tied for second, and catch up with the difficult Hermione Granger, right?

"This ......"

He groaned for a moment, and looked at the big face of Madame Maxim, and then turned his head to ask the commissioner of the Ministry of Magic, Crouch, for advice, and found that the other party did not have any objection, and Dumbledore could only look at the pocket watch in his hand again, and saw that the second hand was moving non-stop for more than ten seconds, and the time was about to reach nine o'clock in the morning, so he had to nod and stand up.

Now that the time is almost up, and that little Annie has not appeared, it is impossible to wait any longer, and he is worried that the other party may not appear for as long as he did two years ago, what can he do but stand up and prepare to announce the start of the game?

“??”

"Ahh

However, Dumbledore, who had just stood up, exclaimed unexpectedly, because he found that when the second hand was just at the top of the pocket watch, when the time was just nine o'clock in the morning, in front of all of them, in front of the extinguished goblet of fire, a blue light suddenly flashed, and the little figure that had made everyone wait for a long time appeared?

"Okay......"

"Madame Maxim, and Headmaster Karkaroff, look? It seems that our backup plan may not be used. ”

Dumbledore, relieved to see that the main owner appeared without missing a second, sat back in his seat with a smile and nodded to the somewhat unsightly Karkaroff and the somewhat sneering Madame Maxim.

Now, since that little guy is going to come back, there's nothing to do with him Dumbledore! And ah, he is also very much looking forward to the project that the little guy has been mysteriously missing for a long time to prepare! Of course, in addition to anticipation, maybe there is a little bit of apprehension?

After all, if the other party messed around, he was still a little worried about the safety of the four warriors......

"Hi~!!"

o(??????????) o

"I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember missing me?!"

?? (????????)??

As soon as the teleportation appeared, Little Anne immediately raised her little hand and greeted the students and professors who had instantly quieted down in the auditorium.

However, anyone could tell that her expression seemed to be a little hurried, as if she was still busy with something important before coming here.

"Oops!!"

o((⊙﹏⊙))o.

"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, people have been preparing for a long time to settle a certain hateful guy in that world, and now, I declare that the second subject of the Triwizard Tournament is ......."

(* ̄▽ ̄)o ─═≡※:☆

Obviously, a little girl doesn't seem to have forgotten that important triwizard tournament at all, and seems to have been working hard to prepare for that second event?

So, after greeting the teachers and students, she impatiently reached out and waved her hand into the sky in the auditorium behind her, and then, the messages and spells that she had left on the wall behind the professorships for a long time, and even Professor Dumbledore couldn't clean up, were cleared and replaced with the description of the second item of the Triwizard Tournament:

????????????

Triwizard Tournament Round 2: The Twilight of Lordaeron, the Real Illusion!

In the distant world of Azeroth, there is one of the most powerful human kingdoms in the north of the continent of Azeroth, and its name is Lordaeron!

At this time, a major accident completely shattered the peace of the kingdom.

A large number of orcs escaped from the shelter led by Orgrim Doomhammer, Grom Hellroar, and Thrall, and a mysterious plague broke out within the kingdom - the Scourge of the Dead!

Although a mysterious sorcerer had warned the aging king of Tyrenas, the stubborn Tyrenus did not accept the mysterious sorcerer's persuasion and brutally expelled the well-meaning sorcerer...... In the months that followed, the plague became more and more problematic.

The mysterious power behind the plague has gradually surfaced, and in the midst of the crisis, Terenus finally has to send his beloved only son, Arthas Minehir, the young prince of the kingdom, and his most trusted paladin, Uther Lightbringer, to investigate the truth! At the same time, the magical capital of Dalaran also reached out to Lordaeron, sending a young but powerful mage, Gianna Proudmoor, to solve this sudden disaster.

Sadly, however, the land has gradually entered a state of terror, with more and more of the plague-infected people of Lordaeron turning into zombies and undead, and with it, more cities becoming cities of death......

So, warriors, are you ready?

Soon, you will be transported to the distant kingdom of Lordaeron in the name of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where you will face the horrors of the young prince and mages! And your efforts may have the potential to change the tragic fate of that kingdom......

Of course, it is possible to sink into the twilight of Lordaeron together? Now, the epic quest 'Twilight in Lordaeron' has officially begun!!

????????????

With a wave of a little girl's hand, the mission description for the second part of the Triwizard Tournament was clearly visible on the walls of the Hogwarts Great Hall, followed by four consecutive flashes of blue light, and then Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Fleur Delacul, and Victor Krum all disappeared from their seats!

At the same time, above the Great Hall, four huge holographic curtains appeared at the same time, and in the curtains, there were third-person visual images of Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum?

Crash~!!

‘!! ’

'What's that?' What did that Professor Anne do to the Warriors? ’

'I don't know! Don't ask me!! ’

'Wow......'

'Looks so much fun!' Where were they teleported?! ’

‘……’

'It must be in the illusion called Lordaeron, right?' ’

'Oh! Lo and behold, they were surrounded by the heavily armored soldiers, and the beautiful mage, whose wand was so big! ’

'It's funny, what the hell is that?' ’

'I said, don't ask me, I don't know anything!!' ’

Soon, when the four Warriors were teleported away in unison, and when four large circular holographic curtains appeared above the Great Hall, the students of Hogwarts and the other two schools below began to make a fuss and began to chatter with each other while excitedly looking up at the real-time 'movie' above the Great Hall with different Warriors as the images.

"Annie!"

"What the hell is this? They're ......."

First of all, he understood the description of the mission behind himself and the others, and then looked at the four pictures above the Great Hall at this time, looking at the pictures of the soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding shields and broadswords besieging the four warriors, Dumbledore's heart tightened, and he vaguely felt that the picture was too real, so he couldn't help but ask a little girl with some worry.

"Hah!"

?? (????????????)??

"Don't worry, Dumbledore, it's just a super 'real' illusion, they'll be teleported back if they die, and they're guaranteed to be alive and well, no problem at all! You just have to watch it, this is a live broadcast, and you may see it in two days! ”

(???????? -)??

Little Anne, however, did not explain much more to Dumbledore, only motioning for him and the more worried professors to take a closer look.

You know, this task was something she had only thought of and perfected, and for that reason, she had even taken over a timeline and cleaned up any guys who might get into trouble, so now they just had to watch, and she promised not to let any of the four of them actually 'die'!

?? 乛?? 乛??

Of course, as for whether it is an illusion or a reality, I'm afraid only she knows......

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

"Oh......"

"Then I'll be relieved......."

Hearing the little girl's answer, Dumbledore nodded at first, then shook his head again, and then sat back in his seat with some relief, intending to take a look first.

At this time, the soldiers in the four pictures in the sky had already surrounded the four young wizards Hermione, Harry, Fleur and Krum, who were holding wands and seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

'Stop! ’

'I am Arthas Minehir, prince of the kingdom of Lordaeron! ’

'Stranger, who the hell are you, and why did you suddenly appear in our barracks?!!' ’

When the soldiers were about to make a move, suddenly, in the picture, a loud shout sounded, and then a knight on a tall horse shouted, let the soldiers get out of the way, and rushed directly to the four of them.

Behind him was a witch also riding on a tall white horse, holding a thick wand in her hand.

‘……’

In the picture, Krum did not speak at all, just gritted his teeth and clenched the wand in his hand, staring vigilantly at the heavily armored soldiers around him.

Obviously, he didn't seem to be able to react yet, wondering what Professor Anne had done to them...... After all, he had just finished reading the inexplicable mission description, and before he had time to think about it, he flickered in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the four of them were surrounded by a large group of terrible soldiers.

‘……’

And Fleur from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also had a similar reaction, at this time she was pale with fright, and she looked a little distracted, as if she was a little out of proportion by being frightened?

‘!! ’

And that Harry Potter was quietly turning his wand, as if he was ready to cast a spell that could be resisted by both spell and physical attacks?

'Stop Harry! ’

However, before the Harry Potter spell could be cast, Hermione Granger reached out and held it down.

Then all the teachers and students in the Great Hall saw that although she was also a little overwhelmed with fright, she still endured the uneasiness, and walked generously in front of the prince and gave a salute:

'Your Royal Highness the Prince of Alsace! ’

'Hello, my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger! We have no ill will, because we are students from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and we heard that something terrible was happening here, so we were teleported here by our professor casting a spell and preparing to investigate, and we have no ill will! ’

Everyone could see that Hermione was scared in that frame, but she still saluted the prince calmly and said generously.

“……”

Seeing this, Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and for that alone, he felt that he could give the little girl a high score when this magical project was over! Of course, Harry's performance was not bad, after all, he was ready to cast the 'Barrier' spell at the first time, which was a bit presumptuous, but it was also very good!

'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? ’

The prince in the picture frowned, and looked directly at the witch with a large wand next to the other party, as if he was asking the other party for verification?

And this point couldn't help but make the teachers and students who were watching fascinated, because they found that the 'illusion' was really too real, and even the characters in it were made to lifelike, as if the four warriors were really transported to that distant world called Azeroth?

‘……’

'Strange apprentice, I'm sorry, I've never heard of that school of witchcraft and wizardry called Hogwarts!' ’

Then the beautiful young witch finally spoke, and after glancing at the prince, she went on to ask quietly:

'Excuse me, who is your teacher?' Who suddenly teleported you to our barracks? ’

Obviously, the witches were more concerned about the fact that the other party suddenly appeared in their barracks in a burst of teleportation spells.

'You must be Lord Gianna Proudmoor, a mage from Dalaran, right?' ’

'Our teacher is Anne Hasta, the most powerful arcane archmage at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who told us about you and Lordaeron and teleported us here to help you find out......

At this time, Hermione Granger, who had gradually come back to her senses and remembered the task descriptions, took a deep breath, and finally put away her previous nervous expression, and turned confidently to the 'powerful mage' in front of her, who seemed to be only a few years older than her.

'Arcane archmage Anne Hasta? ’

'Unfortunately, I've never heard of an archmage like that, and I can't confirm the existence of your school of witchcraft and wizardry called Hogwarts...... However, it is strange that I have a faint sense of powerful magic from your teacher's real name......

"But whether or not to trust you, I think our prince will decide."

After saying that, that Gianna Proudmore turned her head to look at the young prince beside her, while secretly vigilant, waiting for the other party's decision.

Seeing the attitude of the witch in the picture, the teachers and students in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, who had just been put into the state, couldn't help but lift their hearts, for fear that the young and handsome prince would react too aggressively, and then let the soldiers come forward and capture or hack their four warriors to death.

In that case, with the exception of a few warriors who can flexibly use phantom shifting, the others will surely be easily subdued or chopped into meat sauce by the large group of soldiers, right?
