Chapter 349: The Third Project
Then, when Su Zimo arrived here with Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey, Crouch had already fallen into a coma.
Beside him, Harry Potter looked nervous.
"Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch, he just said a lot about it, that he escaped, and made a big mistake, that his son is not dead, that he is here to warn you, and that he also mentioned that a woman named Bertha Joggins died, and that it had something to do with the mysterious man......
"And ...... The mystery man will become even stronger. ”
"Shhhh
Hearing this, Madam Pomfrey on the side couldn't help but take a breath, but Dumbledore's face sank like water, walked over to Crouch, squatted down and examined it carefully.
"Recover quickly."
Klaus opened his eyes and looked at him with a confused expression.
"Klaus, do you still recognize me, I'm Dumbledore," Dumbledore said loudly.
Klaus's eyes were still confused, and he said in a daze: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I didn't stop my wife, I really can't bear it, I can't bear it, I can't bear it......"
He began to cry like a child.
"Merlin is on top."
Dumbledore muttered and turned to look at Madam Pomfrey, "Let's take him back to recuperate first, it's the after-effects of the Imperius Curse, hey." ”
The group returned to Hogwarts.
And Crouch's matter was also gag-ordered by Dumbledore, who strictly demanded secrecy.
In this regard, except for Su Zimo, everyone else was confused.
…………
In the blink of an eye, the third project began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes I'm going to invite you to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament be played...... Now, ask the Warriors to go to the playground with Mr. Bagman. ”
Hearing this, Su Zimo got up, and the Hufflepuff students around him were all cheering for him.
Walking into the Quidditch pitch, it has become completely unrecognizable.
A twenty-foot-tall hedge surrounded the edge of the field, and there was a gap in front of them, the entrance to the great labyrinth, and the passage inside was dark and intimidating.
Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands.
Hundreds of students sat down, and the air was filled with excited words and a jumble of footsteps.
The sky is now a clear deep blue, and stars are beginning to appear.
Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick walked into the arena and walked towards Bagman and the Warriors. Their hats were embellished with glittering red stars, with the exception of Hagrid, whose red star was behind a flannel vest.
"We'll patrol outside the maze."
Professor McGonagall said to the warriors, "If you're in trouble and want to be rescued, shoot red sparks into the sky, and we'll have someone to help you, understand?" ”
The warriors nodded together.
"Okay, you guys go!"
Bagman said happily to the four patrol members, turned his head to look at Su Zimo and the others, and said with a light smile: "Don't say much else, good luck to you!" ”
The four men walked away in different directions, distributed around the maze.
At this moment, Bagman pointed his wand at his throat and chanted "Loud voice", and his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, let me report the current score...... Cedric Diggory – 88 points, 1st place, Hogwarts House! ”
Applause and cheers startled the birds of the Forbidden Forest into the darkening night sky.
"Harry Potter - 85 points, second place Hogwarts House! Victor Krum – 80 points, 2nd place, Durmstrang Academy! Fleur Delacour – 3rd Place, Beauxbatons College! ”
"Now...... Cedric, listen to my whistle! Bagman said, "Three-two—————
With a short whistle, Su Zimo also turned around and entered the maze.
The tall hedges cast a dark shadow on the path, and I don't know if it was because of the height and density of the hedges, or because of magic, but as soon as they entered the labyrinth, the audience could not hear them.
"Fluorescent flickering."
As this voice fell, the front of the wand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
After walking for about fifty meters, Su Zimo came to a fork in the road.
"Show me the way," he said.
The wand hovered in his palm for a moment, then pointed to the left of the fork.
Hearing Bagman's whistle sound again, Harry entered the labyrinth, and then Su Zimo couldn't help but speed up.
The road ahead was empty, and when he reached a right turn, Su Zimo turned around, only to find a strange creature, without a head, and many feet sticking out horizontally, about six inches long.
Up and down the body, there was a very strong smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and the spines on the back arched high, looking like a giant scorpion with a sting needle rolled around its back.
Fried tail snails!
Almost instantly, Su Zimo judged that this creature was a special creature cultivated by Hagrid, the fried tail snail.
"Faint!"
A spell flew out and landed on the hard shell, causing a burst of dazzling fire to bounce.
"Crackle!"
I saw that the tail of the fried tail snail suddenly emitted a burst of orange-red fire, and he jumped forward a few feet at once, and he was about to come to Su Zimo.
"Fossils are mud!"
Fortunately, a hand of fossilization pointed to the only way to blow up the tail snail, and the latter's huge body inevitably fell into the quagmire.
"Freeze quickly!"
Then another spell sounded.
The snail was trapped in place, unable to move.
"So...... What's next? ”
Along the way, Su Zimo encountered several strange creatures, including the Boggart who made himself weird, and a few spiders who tried to sneak up on him from the shadows.
But these things, for him, are a piece of cake.
Then, as he walked down a long, straight path, he noticed movement again, and the light of his wand shone on an incomparably strange monster.
The creature in front of him was a frighteningly large lion, with huge claws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair on the tip of the tail, but it had the head of a woman, which was strangely beautiful.
Sphinx.
This kind of creature that was only seen in the Hogwarts library, Su Zimo also saw it for the first time.
Unlike other creatures, the Sphinx only makes people guess riddles, and does not actively hurt people, and if they are not sure of the answer, the latter will also make people leave.
"So, would you like to guess a riddle with me?"
Looking at the Sphinx in front of him, those almond eyes stared straight at Su Zimo.
The latter smiled slightly, but shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
