388. Final Preparations

388. Final Preparations

Just as Harry was preparing for the final event of the Triwizard Tournament, the final exams at Hogwarts arrived. And the first exam was the history of magic that had driven Field mad.

The history of magic exam was finally solved, and it was already noon, and when Field was sitting at the Hufflepuff long table in the auditorium eating, Cedric actually showed up with Mrs. Diggory and Mr. Diggory.

"Dad, Mommy, how did you show up together. Field asked.

"In the last event of the Triwizard Tournament, the Warriors' families were allowed to watch it, so I took a leave of absence. Mr. Diggory rubbed Field's head with his large hands.

Field beckoned them to sit down at the Hufflepuff table, and Mr. Diggory looked around, feeling the change in the castle.

"We had already visited the Hufflepuff common room in the morning and it was nice that almost nothing had changed. "Here is the familiar long table," said Mr. Diggory, "where I sat when I was at school, and on which I had secretly carved my name, for which the caretaker Apollion Prinlo had hung me up and whipped me twice. ”

The family laughed and happily ate lunch.

Looking up, Field saw the Weasleys, Harry was sitting with them talking and laughing, and when he saw Field looking over, Ginny stood up and waved at him.

On the other side, in the direction of the Ravenclaw long table, there is a French voice.

Fleur and Helen's family were there, and Field, who was very hearing, heard Fleur introduce Field, and she said that she had met the person who had helped him make his wand.

Field looked up and smiled back at Fleur, whose father was a wizard with a mustache on his chin and a smile on his face that looked good-tempered. And her mother is a beautiful young woman with blonde hair, perhaps because she is half of the Meiwa blood, which makes her exude a strange charm.

Haruka greeted them with a drink, and then Field turned his head and continued to tell his parents about school.

On the faculty chair, five members of the jury had arrived, and even the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was there.

Halfway through the dinner, Field followed Mrs. Diggory away.

They made it all the way to the Quidditch pitch, which had completely changed, with a twenty-foot hedge surrounding the edge of the field. There is a huge gap in the direction of the stands, which is supposed to be the entrance to the maze.

A large group of Magic TV employees were tweaking wing-waving cameras, and the main screen above the stands was constantly showing the sky above the maze, with people constantly coming and going in and out of the tents next to the stands.

At this moment Gore came over, greeted Field, and said to Mrs. Diggory, "Everything is ready." ”

Mrs. Diggory nodded, then motioned for Field to follow her.

They came to a small tent, and the warriors, led by Mr. Bagman, came one after another.

Walking into the tent and looking at the tiny camera on a long table, everyone already understood what was going on.

Harry was the first to step forward, and Field carefully attached the tiny camera to his coat over his shoulder.

Helen Hathaway, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly said, "Is it uneasy to the eyes and temples this time?"

"I don't want to see the Daily Prophet say next time that I'm going to blind the warriors of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang so that Hogwarts can win." ”

Field's words made Helen's face red, and she had previously been interviewed by Rita Skeeter, in which she complained that in the second project, the tiny camera glued to her temples caused her skin to crumble a little, which turned out to be the case at the end of the report.

With a quick completion of the installation, Field followed the warriors out of the tent and into the stands, where Mr. Bagman was waiting for them.

Hundreds of students were already sitting in the stands, and Field saw that Mr. Diggory was with the Weasleys, and Mr. Delacour was whispering to him. In the front row of the stands, several well-dressed wizards were laughing with the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and Mrs. Diggory was filming with a photographer.

"Who is that? Mr. Bagman. Field asked Mr. Bagman, who was beside him.

"Oh, it's a representative sent by the Ministry of Magic of various European countries! This Triwizard Tournament is unprecedented in scale, and the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to it, you see that in the third event of the competition, the Minister himself is the judge, Mr. Crouch is personally responsible for personnel scheduling and security work, and there are even Aurors patrolling the periphery, in order to prevent a repeat of what happened in the Quidditch World Cup. Mr. Bagman whispered.

Field nodded, indeed, because the Triwizard Tournament is now broadcast live all over the world, both in scale and influence, under the gaze of so many eyes, Field is very much looking forward to what little Barty will do.

There was a lot of excitement and footsteps, and everyone waved small flags with the names of the warriors they supported.

The sky is just starting to darken slightly, dotted with stars dotted with clear blue sky, and in the west, the red sun is setting.

Hagrid, Professors Moody, McGonagall, and Flitwick began to walk into the playground, and on the periphery, Mr. Crouch was speaking to five or six staff members.

"This Triwizard Tournament is a global live broadcast, there are at least 200,000 wizards watching the work of our British Ministry of Magic, there is absolutely no room for mistakes, everyone below has a responsible area, I will patrol the side throughout the whole process, if I find any situation that may endanger the life of the warrior, notify me as soon as possible. ”

Seeing the warriors entering, Mr. Crouch turned to all the warriors and said: "We people will patrol outside the maze, we must pay attention to safety in the maze, if we encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, we will shoot red sparks into the sky, we will have someone to help you, remember, this competition is related to the image of the British wizarding community in front of the world, and accidents are absolutely not allowed, do you understand?"

Crouch's expression was serious, and the dark circles under his eyes were a little deep, and it seemed that his pressure had not been ordinarily great recently.

"Bagman, I'll leave this place to you, and I'll take someone around to patrol it. Crouch said, leaving with the Ministry of Magic staff.

Mr. Bagman smiled, holding his wand to his throat as his voice grew louder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our staff has finished preparing, the final game of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! The six warriors will enter the maze in order according to the scores of the previous two games, the first to win the Triwizard Cup is the champion of this Triwizard Tournament, the staff of the Ministry of Magic has already cast a spell on the Triwizard Cup, and the warriors who won the Triwizard Cup will immediately return here to accept everyone's cheers. ”

There were deafening cheers from the audience, and Field, who was walking towards the tent where the monitors were placed, was stunned and froze there.

"Damn, the Triumph Cup has become a portkey, the people in the Ministry of Magic? the hidden Death Eaters? they've already done something to the Triumph Cup. ”
