Chapter 632: Reconciliation
"Our youngest warrior got the dragon egg, at the least cost!"
The audience applauded like thunder, and many people stood up to give Hermione a round of applause, Ludo was still shouting excitedly, and it was Professor McGonagall who behaved the same way as him, and she looked at the big screen, the little girl holding the dragon egg high, panting slightly, but her brown pupils were shining, tears of joy and snot!
Fleur Delacour and Hermione Granger.
The two girls in the top three in the competition seem to be completely opposite styles, one interprets the girl's beauty vividly, while the other intuitively shows the girl's strength.
It wasn't until he saw Charlie come on the field and take the fire dragon away from Hermione that Ron really put his mind at ease, he turned his head to look around, those who were celebrating Hermione were still drumming hard, his eyes looked at the girl with dirty cheeks on the big screen again, a trace of gloom and pain crossed his eyes, at this moment, Ron's heart suddenly came to a realization, and suddenly understood a little, what is called growing up gradually and distantly
Then, a smile appeared on his sweaty face, and he clapped Hermione vigorously.
"Come on, kid, lie down on the stretcher, take your golden eggs, we need to go and check it out--"
Madam Pomfrey and a few healers rushed to Hermione's side, and she looked at Hermione with a proud look on her face—even though Hermione Granger and her two friends had created no less problems for her than any young wizard, she had grown to be the pride of Hogwarts!
"I'm fine, Madam Pomfrey—"
Everything in front of her turned into the dreamlike dream she had just played, and Hermione looked at the last calm and brilliant response that was playing repeatedly on the big screen, and she couldn't believe it was herself She heard Madam Pomfrey's voice, turned her head and said coquettishly.
"Oh, Miss Granger, you don't know what you said, you have to check before you can make a conclusion—"
Madam Pomfrey resolutely pushed Hermione down on the stretcher.
"Amazing—"
Dumbledore wiped the dampness from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said emotionally,
"These wonderful young people will always grow up to surprise us by inadvertently-"
"The growth of young people is always too dazzling, so it will be subconsciously ignored by older people--"
Amosta said with a smile.
Dumbledore nodded in agreement, but suddenly he looked at Amosta with a sneer.
"Score, judges!"
Ludo Bagman said happily,
"I could give Miss Hermione Granger 10 points, I think it's a very reasonable score, Miss Granger's amazing response deserves this score!"
Today's top score has appeared.
In addition to Ludo Bagman, Barty Crouch and Lady Maxime and Dumbledore all gave 9 points, and finally, the mean Karkaroff gave 5 points, which was his lowest score of the night!
Facing Ludo's surprised question, the expressionless Karkaroff said coldly,
"I stand by my opinion, I think the invisibility cloak that Granger used to summon in the opening scene is a rule-breaking, and these five points are based on her final performance--"
Then, the scores of the four Warriors appeared on the big screen.
Cedric Diggory: 9 points; 9 points; 9 points; 8 points; 6 points, total: 41 points
Fleur Delacour: 8 points; 8 points; 9 points; 8 points; 7 points, total: 40 points
Victor Krum: 9 points; 8 points; 10 points; 8 points; 6 points, total: 41 points
Hermione Granger: 10 points; 9 points; 9 points; 9 points; 5 points, total: 42 points!
When the results were announced, the scene immediately turned into a sea of joy, and even Pansy Parkinson, who was the most unpleasant to Hermione in Slytherin, slapped her a few times lukewarmly.
"Let's go--"
Amosta stood up and said cheerfully to Ludo and Crouch,
"I'm afraid the Warriors won't be able to move right now, so let's go to the tent and tell us something about the second game--"
After nodding and apologizing to the VIPs, Amosta led Ludo and Barty out of the jubilant arena.
"You're number one, Hermione!"
After listening to the referees' scores, Harry rushed into the tent worn by the Warriors as fast as he could, and it was quiet compared to the outside, where Cedric, Fleur, and Wickdoll were lying in makeshift beds, all bandaged, and resting with their eyes closed.
Harry's reckless words made the eyes of the three warriors open their eyes, and they all looked at Hermione Granger, who was in the best form, and expressed a certain surprise at this result.
"Oh, congratulations!"
Cedric grinned hard at Hermione, and Hermione smiled generously at Cedric.
"The Warriors need a rest, Mr. Potter!"
Madam Pomfrey, who was applying some kind of ointment to Fleur's calves, couldn't hold back, and Harry embarrassed Harry with her harsh rebuke.
"Let's go out and say—"
Hermione grabbed Harry's arm and walked out of the tent, her cheeks covered with a few pieces of white veil from the flying rocks, but other than that, she wasn't seriously hurt, Madam Pomfrey snorted twice in displeasure at the backs of the two of them, but in the end, didn't disturb the celebratory moment.
Harry and Hermione lifted one of the tent's blankets and went out, the cold outside made him shiver, but it was nothing, when he saw the man staring at the tent outside the tent, his eyes full of struggle and hesitation, Harry and Hermione suddenly froze, and of course, Ron, who was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the two of them, also fell silent.
"Ahem, well, I want to say how are you?"
Harry and Hermione were both looking at him, and the gaze put a heavy pressure on Ron, his lips squirming and stumbling.
Harry remained silent and didn't speak, and Hermione covered her mouth with tears in her eyes.
"I think--"
The cold wind was blowing, and the noise in the competition arena in front of it never stopped. Without waiting for a response for a long time, Ron scratched his freckled nose in embarrassment,
"I—I think I should apologize—" Ron said in a sneer, "because. . Well, everything before, I mean, my idea was just stupid, dealing with the fire dragon. It's a shame that they can do it--"
Ron finally realized his problem, but Harry wasn't as happy as he had imagined, and he remembered what Hagrid had said to him—
"Oh, it's not that stupid." Harry said in a deep voice, "Everybody wants to be famous, Seamus, Neville, Dean. You just picked a bad moment and were confused for a while."
The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly, at a certain moment, they all grinned crampedly.
"Oh, you two fools!"
Hermione burst into tears, she tried her best to hide from the ground with her feet, tears pouring down her chest, Harry and Ron came to her side, and before they could stop them, she hugged them and turned and ran into the tent.
Harry and Ron looked at each other for a long time, each shrugging their shoulders—
"How did you know in advance that the event was a fire dragon?"
"Oh, that's a long story, there's been a lot going on these days, Ron-"
Harry and Ron, who hadn't spoken for most of the month, were chatting outside the tent while a tearful Hermione burst into the tent, and coincidentally, it was at this time that Professor Bryan walked into the tent with Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch from that side.
Seeing the little girl who was hurriedly wiping away her tears, Ludo asked in surprise,
"What's the matter, Miss Granger, you obviously won first place, didn't you?"
"Oh I'm just--" Hermione blew her nose, "mm--cry of joy—"
"It's too early to rejoice, Miss Granger—" Amosta said softly, glancing at the two boys whispering outside the tent, "the challenges ahead will be even tougher, well, let's get down to business-"
Amosta turned his head around for a week, and several warriors were watching him.
"--The second project will start at half past nine in the morning on February 24 next year, and unlike the first one, we have decided to give you certain clues for the second project of the competition, which is the golden egg you got today, there is a puzzle hidden there, and you can figure out what you have to face by solving it."
