Harry's saber-rattling action stunned everyone who was watching this scene, not to mention Krum, even Mrs. Pince forgot to be angry, and the reason why she tolerated the empty little witches chasing stars in her library was entirely for the sake of Krum's face as Durmstran's guest.

But what happened to Harry Potter?

Krum's eyebrows were drawn closer to the center of his eyebrows, and he looked at the boy in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, his eyes filled with confusion.

He knew that the green-eyed boy was Harry Potter, and in a way, a guy who was even more famous than him. He had met him face-to-face twice, first at the World Cup and the second time yesterday, when he and two friends took them on a tour of the Hogwarts campus, and on both occasions, he was quite friendly, especially his red-haired friend, who was a fan of his.

But what's going on now?

He didn't allow himself to get closer, and it looked like he wanted to attack him, but I have to say that Harry Potter's posture and eyes were still quite scary, and he looked like he had been trained.

"Oh, don't do that, Harry!"

Hermione finally came to her senses, and she cried out in a panic.

She was probably the only one who knew why Harry had behaved in such a way that he probably saw anyone he didn't know as potential targets for his persecution. I have to say that this feeling of being protected is still good, but it would not be good to have any dispute with Durmstrang Warriors.

"We came out and said"

Hermione pulled Harry behind her without saying a word, and she was about to explain to Krum, but Mrs. Pince's unbearable gaze made her shudder, so she whispered to Krum.

The entrance to the library was full of people, obviously not suitable for chatting, and Hermione took the two boys to the place where Professor Bryne had rescued the house-elves last time, and when she turned around, Hermione found that Krum was looking at the corridor and the enclosed classrooms.

"Oh-"

A spider the size of a baby's fist crawled through the huge webs above their heads, and Hermione lifted her hair, her tone a little unnatural,

"We don't need as many classrooms for classes on a regular basis, and some places have been put on hold for centuries. So, it doesn't look so neat--"

Harry pouted, it wasn't yesterday when he was a tour guide, and he didn't need to explain it so clearly to Krum.

"I think it's funny--"

Surprisingly, Krum didn't mind the terrible conditions here and didn't catch Harry's overreaction just now, he stared with interest at a sculpture with a broken arm at the end of the corridor and said,

"Our castle is not as tall as Hogwarts, with only four floors. It's not as comfortable and fun as here--"

Harry seems to have noticed that Victor Krum doesn't have the same heavy Quidditch international star in him, he doesn't usually like to talk, and is probably just worried about his broken English pronunciation. Right now, for example, he muttered something about Durmstran, but occasionally came out with a few strange words in Bulgarian that Harry and Hermione couldn't even make out what he was saying.

"Can you get me an autograph?"

Coldly, Krum suddenly looked at Harry and Hermione and said.

It's an interesting request, as normally only Krum is asked for an autograph, and yesterday when the people who took Beauxbatons and Durmstrang around the campus were walking around the corner, Harry saw a lot of Hogwarts girls rushing up to Krum to ask for autographs.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other in surprise, and then an understanding came to them.

"Whose do you want?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Mr. Blaine—" said Krum a little melancholy, "I don't know many people, and I don't know if Mr. Blaine will think, uh."

"Presumptuous!" Harry helped Krum fill in the word he couldn't spell.

To be honest, Krum was much easier to communicate with than Harry had imagined, and most importantly, he was not hostile to Hermione, who was also a Warrior, and he congratulated Hermione, and the tone in which he said it sounded much more comfortable than when Ron said it last night.

When Harry asked him why he hadn't asked Malfoy to help him - Drum sat next to Malfoy at the dinner two days, and both Harry and Ron saw Malfoy courteous to Krum.

Krum muttered, Harry couldn't hear it very clearly, but it seemed to mean that he didn't think Malfoy was too reliable, and that assessment made Harry's image of Krum much better, and at the same time, he realized that he had just been a little rude.

"Okay, I'll figure it out—"

To apologize, Harry accepted Krum's request.

They begin to walk back, and Krum tells Hermione why he was in the library,

"I'm looking up information to prepare for the first project—"

Hermione's expression fluttered at the mention of the tournament, she wanted to ask what Krum's exploration direction was, but before she could speak, she realized that she shouldn't have asked, because the tournament charter required her to be completely on her own, and it was obviously cheating to inquire about another Warrior's idea.

"Prepare?"

Harry blinked in confusion, he knew from Hermione that Barty Crouch's guidance to the warriors seemed to be nothing real other than asking them to be mentally prepared for the test,

"But, the Ministry of Magic didn't say anything, did it, what can you find in the books?"

Compared to Hermione, Harry was much more uninhibited, so he didn't care about the constitution and asked bluntly. And Krum also showed generosity, he also said his thoughts,

"yes, they didn't say it, but. There are traces to follow—"

Krum's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the side face of Hermione, who pretended not to care, and the ostentatious meaning in his eyes minimized the intimidation that his idol status brought to others.

"The specific items are top secret, but generally those categories. If you find a record of holding a tournament before, you can probably guess what they want the Warriors to deal with."

"Oh!"

Hermione's eyes lit up suddenly, what an obvious train of thought, if it weren't for her concern about the warrior status that would fall to her head by an unconventional way, and Ron's concerns, she should have thought of it.

"--I'm not familiar with the Hogwarts library."

Krum said again in that clumsy accent,

"I didn't find any record of this, and your librarian doesn't seem to like people asking questions-"

"I can help, I'm familiar with the library!"

Hermione said happily.

Harry, who was like a bodyguard, shrugged helplessly after hearing Hermione say this, he seemed to have expected that he would probably not be able to leave the library today.

As Harry had predicted, Hermione had gathered all the books in the library that could be hung up with the Triwizard Tournament, and the books that had been put up were enough to build a wall in the city, and the three of them had been recording the key contents of the books, except for lunch and dinner, when Harry hurried downstairs to help them get something to eat.

Of course, he also met Ron in the Great Hall, but when he asked Ron to go with him to the library to help Hermione and Krum find the reference room, Ron said that he and Seamus had made an appointment to play Gobstone together in the afternoon.

This made Harry feel a little annoyed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he could vaguely feel that since last night, Ron seemed to be a little deliberately avoiding Hermione.

He didn't have much time to think about it, and the thought flashed through his mind before he tossed it aside, and now, the most important thing was to help Hermione find some clues about the game.

"It's insane."

When Mrs. Pins repeatedly asked them to leave the library, Hermione and Harry walked out of the library with a stack of parchment records of Triwizard Tournament matches centuries ago, and Krum had left earlier, telling them that Professor Karkaroff would not let them stay too late in the castle.

"They actually let the warriors deal with Dementors, werewolves, Yin Corpses, and chicken-body medusios--"

As she passed the covered bridge, Hermione suddenly stopped and screamed in the face of the sparkling black lake,

"But it's all illegal!"
