"Old-fashioned adventure game."
Hermione closed the golden egg and pulled it out of the water mass.
"Location, goals, time and process, I just hope they don't use my book as a contest item."
Obviously, the first two lines of the song indicate that the venue for the competition is related to water - and the only place near Hogwarts that meets the conditions is the Black Lagoon.
The fifth and sixth sentences declare the timeβan hour, which also means that the content of the second test will not be too complicated.
The third and fourth sentences indicate that the organizers are going to take something they like as the goal of the event.
For Hermione, of course, the favorite thing is knowledge and knowledge-carrying books, and as she speaks, the girl has already begun to think about what spells she can use to help her protect those cute little ones for a long time.
"Hmm......"
Aini was in no hurry to reveal the mystery. In the original track, the second level of the Triwizard Tournament was held dear to the Warriors, but now the situation at Hogwarts is more complicated, and he doesn't think it's a good idea to soak a few unconscious children in the water when Voldemort may be close at hand.
Talk to Dumbledore about it in a few days.
After making up her mind, Aini recommended a few spells for Hermione and gave her some tips on how to fight underwater.
Leaving the girl to continue practicing, Aini sets off for Bill's office.
The harvest of the bloodline sublimation again exceeded expectations, and he was even more confident in resolving the Weasley family's "Covenant of the Seven Sons".
β¦β¦
"That's?"
As he approached his destination, Ani spotted a slender figure around the corner in the distance, the girl who had invited Bill to the ball.
As soon as Aini's mind moved, a colorful streamer appeared in her vision, which was the trajectory of Fleur's movement just now.
One end of the streamer hides behind the corner, and the other unsurprisingly begins at the door of Bill's office.
This is one of the conveniences obtained after the sublimation of the bloodline, even if Aini does not open the True Eye now, he can clearly observe the operation of the magic power.
Not only magical creatures, but even ordinary humans, animals and plants can affect the magic around them when they move, but the former has a more obvious appearance and retains traces for a longer time.
"Please come in."
Aini knocked on the door and walked into the office after hearing Bill's response.
Bill was sitting at the table writing something, and when he looked up and saw Ani, he quickly greeted him warmly.
"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" How about Butterbeer?"
Sitting down on the couch with Ani, Bill first put away the empty cups on the coffee table, then took out the clean ones and handed them over from the barrels on the table.
"Fleur just sent it, and they went to Hogsmeade today."
As he spoke, Bill filled himself with a glass and reached out to touch Ani.
"Looks like you're getting along."
Aini took a big sip and it tasted great.
"Haha, that girl is really close to me. But she's here today for something else."
Bill had a natural smile on his face, somehow, he didn't usually like to interact with people who were too proud, but he didn't hate the proud girl.
"Has Hermione unlocked the secret of the golden egg? Fleur said that the second test was mostly in the water, and came to me for spell advice."
"Solved, her speculation is the same as Fleur's."
Ask? With Madame Maxim here, there is no need to ask outsiders for advice, not to mention that the two are not in the same camp.
It's just a little bit of caution on the part of the girl.
"Let's not talk about those ......," Aini gulped down the frothy beer, "Informed Charlie?" I'm ready."
"Really? That's great! Charlie will come home tomorrow afternoon, and then he will come with his parents."
Bill stood up excitedly, and although he didn't know what Ani was going to do, he believed that the other party was not the one to talk about it.
"The venue of the ceremony is in the Forbidden Forest, let's go, let's talk to Dumbledore first."
Hearing this, Bill didn't make much of a polite gesture and went to the principal's office with Aini.
Whether it's out of politeness or for security reasons, this matter should be discussed with Dumbledore, and the presence of at least one powerful White Wizard is also a guarantee.
The process went smoothly, and the old principal happily agreed, and then waited for the personnel to be in place.
The next afternoon, the Weasleys and Charlie arrived at Hogwarts, where they met in the Forbidden Forest.
"What is this going to do? Camping?"
Ron stood in the middle of the crowd, looking around curiously.
"But Dumbledore is here, too, and ......."
Ginny was also curious to look at her parents and Dumbledore who were talking in front of her, and she always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
The three people in front of them looked back at Ron and Ginny, who were talking "quietly", and quickly came to an agreement.
Molly was a few steps behind and came to the middle of the children, although she wanted to bear everything with her husband, but in fact, Bill, Charlie, Percy and the twins all knew the content of the "Covenant of the Seven Sons", and only Ron and Ginny, who were young sons and young daughters, were still ignorant.
Now, it's time to tell them.
So when Aini and Bill, who were waiting in the Forbidden Forest, saw the two little ones, their expressions were obviously different.
Ron's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he felt that as a Weasley man, he should bear the pressure with his family instead of being kept in the dark like a child.
Ginny's eyes were watery, and she looked at her parents and brothers with a lot of affection.
"Alright, let's get started."
There was no chance for the crowd to continue sensationalism, and the needed reminders had already been conveyed through Bill, and they didn't have to do anything in the process.
Ani led them to the center of the clearing, silently sensed and looked, and did not have a special feeling like last time, so he simply activated the golden arrow.
In an instant, Aini's figure disappeared in place, as if merged into an endless stream of light.
When he came to the projection space, he was fully prepared to quickly bless himself with protective magic, only to find ......
Painting style...... How it was not quite what he imagined.
"Aha, welcome, guest of the New World."
In the splendid and luxuriously decorated hall, a handsome young man sat leisurely on the sofa, seemingly enjoying afternoon tea, and beckoned to him warmly when he saw Ani appear.

γοΌγ
γβ¦β¦γ
To be honest, the scene in front of him made Ani a little confused, he had anticipated various battle scenes, and was even ready to be attacked when he first entered the space, but he never expected to encounter such a situation.
Despite this, the movements in Aini's hands did not pause in the slightest, and he blessed himself with seventeen protective spells in a row.
"Don't be so nervous, guest from the New World."
Seeing this, the young man did not mean to stop it, and still smiled kindly at Aini.
