386. The Guardian of the Stars and the Arms of the Heavens
After the Easter break, Hogwarts ushered in the summer semester, which used to be a time for the four house Quidditch teams to train harder, but this year the Quidditch tournament was cancelled due to the Triwizard Tournament.
But all this has nothing to do with Field, who has been immersed in the study of rune tattoos, and finally has come to fruition.
In the small club, Harry was lying on his bench as Field carved gold lines on his back, and after about an hour, the rune tattoo for Harry was completed.
Harry stood up and looked at the intricate rune tattoos on his body in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
"Cool—" Ron shouted from the side, "Field, are you giving me one too." ”
"Don't think about it, Ron, this 'Guardian of the Stars' isn't for you, and even if I made it for Harry, it will have to be adjusted as his magic grows. Without hesitation, Field poured cold water on Ron.
Harry spun around excitedly, looking at his chest for a while, looking at his back for a while, then stopped and asked Field, "Field, how do you use this?"
Field motioned for Harry to stand, then examined it carefully, "'Guardian of the Stars' can multiply the power of your spell when activated, and each activation interval is 3 minutes, and the left and right hands can be activated once. Then the defensive circle on the back can cancel out most of the magic effects, such as hypnosis or petrification, but of course the impact of magic can't be canceled. After that, you'll have to absorb Starlight to recharge it. ”
As he spoke, Field took out a bright red gem the size of a bean and placed it behind Harry's back, in the center of a nine-layer magic circle.
Harry frowned slightly, the gem was sinking into his flesh, not feeling uncomfortable, but looking a little weird.
"From now on, there are about two months left until the third project, and as long as there is starlight and moonlight every night, I have to go to shine for half an hour. Field commanded.
"Alright, I see!" Harry put on his coat, and although it was April, it was still a little cold.
Sending Harry and Ron away, Field stared at a more elaborate rune tattoo on the workbench, intended for Cedric, who had been designing it for over two years. The one given to Harry before evolved from here, and he didn't have the heart to design a rune tattoo for Harry, but when he didn't find any trace of Barty Jr. at the beginning of this year's school, Field changed his original plan.
There were still some details that needed to be perfected on Cedric's rune tattoo, but it wasn't a big problem, and he was confident that he could solve it in two months.
The school life at Hogwarts was still peaceful, and Field couldn't help but tremble a little when he thought that Voldemort was already somewhere preparing to make a comeback at this time, not because of fear, but because of excitement, and the layout of the years was finally coming to an end, which made him excited.
"Hey, I remember that night you said you would kill me personally, I'll wait!" Field had a fanatical smile on his face, Voldemort's figure would appear in his dreams from time to time over the years, especially after Dandell's appearance, he had become a frequent visitor in every nightmare of him, and over time, Field's fear actually became a frenzy, and he actually looked forward to a head-on encounter with Voldemort.
In the last week of May, when Field ran through the Quidditch pitch for morning practice, he already knew that the final race was coming.
The pitch that used to be flat and smooth is now full of intricate and sinuous low walls.
Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch were communicating on the periphery of the low wall, and instead of disturbing them, Field ran to find Hagrid, who was in the middle of the labyrinth.
"Hagrid, is the last project a labyrinth?" Field, asked directly.
Hagrid stood up, glanced at Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch in the distance, and said, "Well, it's okay to tell you, they'll announce the game later." ”
"Yes, it's the maze, as you can see, there's still a month to go, I'm going to make them twenty feet high, and in this maze, the warriors will encounter a lot of graduate school entrance exams, and the Triwizard Cup is in the middle of the maze, and whoever can touch it first will be the champion. Those who scored high points in previous games were given priority to enter the game, and Cedric and Harry had a very big advantage. ”
It's no different from what Field imagined, and now Field is eager to see how Barty Jr. turned the Triwizard into a portkey, after all, the current Professor Moody is the real thing.
In the afternoon, Field, who had finished his Charms class, met an angry Harry and an embarrassed Ron at the entrance of the foyer.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that Harry and Krum had a big fight.
Ron told him, "Just now the Ministry's people gathered all the warriors and announced the contents of the last project, and Krum found Harry after everyone disbanded. Because of the show broadcast on Magic TV two days ago, Krum thought that Harry just regarded Hermione as a friend, and wanted Harry to help him invite Hermione to travel to Bulgaria during her vacation. ”
At this point, Ron glanced at Harry beside him, and then Harry's angry face flushed.
"And then?" asked Field, interested.
"Then I told Krum directly that Hermione wasn't going anywhere on vacation, and if she was going to Bulgaria, she would come with me. Harry blushed and said to Field.
Field looked at Harry with a mysterious expression, then glanced behind him.
Harry and Ron seemed to see Field's eyes and turned their heads in unison.
At this time, Hermione really looked at Harry with a flushed face, and when she saw Harry turn around, her face turned even redder, and in a panic, she turned around and ran towards the stairs.
"Hahaha-" Field laughed, looked at a helpless Harry, patted him on the shoulder, "Harry, if you don't want to be embarrassed and worried about the rest of the time, hurry up and follow now." ”
Harry was still hesitant, looking at Field, then at Ron, who raised an eyebrow. Finally, he relented, covered his head and ran up the stairs.
Over the next few days, Field saw that Harry and Hermione seemed to have returned to their usual ways, but it always felt a little awkward, because they were a little too deliberate.
Just as Field wondered if he should ask Harry what had happened to them that day, Ginny whispered to him that Ron had been complaining lately that Harry had often left him out and disappeared.
——————————————————————————————
Match day is getting closer, and Harry has been getting harder lately, now spending more than two hours a day practicing spells in the practice room, usually with Hermione and Ron with him.
The rune tattoo for Cedric has been completed, but it is difficult for Field to find time to engrave Cedric, because Cedric has been preparing for the final game all this time.
Finally, one night two weeks before the game, Field caught Cedric.
"Well, Field, to be honest, I don't need a rune tattoo, that's not fair. Cedric was still resistant.
"Rune tattoos are just an added layer of security for your safety, and if you feel like you should be fair during the game, you can do without it. Field pressed Cedric into his chair.
"I've engraved it for Harry, and I think you should do the same during fair time. ”
"Alright, alright, whatever you want. Cedric had no choice but to sit down and be at Field's mercy.
Pondering his thoughts, Field began to engrave without distraction.
For two hours, Field put down his tools, rubbing his aching wrists and swollen head.
Even Cedric, who had been sitting still, straightened up and moved, and two hours of motionlessness made him very tired.
"Oh, it's beautiful! what's its name?" Turning around in front of the mirror, Cedric was pleased with the tattoos on his body.
Field leaned back on the soft sofa, and the whole person relaxed: "'Heavenly Armament'!"
