As we entered February, it seemed that time had suddenly become much faster than before, and it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, and there was only one week left until February 27.

However, Fred and George were disappointed, after being confused in the foyer that day, Karkaroff never came to the castle again, and the "quick-fix truant candy feeding plan" that they had been preparing for a long time never had a chance to be implemented.

"There's a second project in a week, aren't you really going to take some time out and study that rock?"

Once in the common room, Fleur looked at Kyle, who was playing chess with Cedric, and said in a somewhat irritated tone.

She thought Kyle was just joking, but she didn't expect him to come for real...... As for why she's sure Kyle isn't secretly researching behind her back.

The reason is simple, because those three stones have been thrown on the cabinet in the common room for more than a month.

If it weren't for the diligent cleaning of the house-elves, it is estimated that a thick layer of dust would have fallen on it.

She had wanted to make Kyle anxious, so she sneaked up on the stone at night.

The result...... For half a month, Kyle didn't notice such a thing at all, and he didn't look for anything every day.

I really met Merlin......

"I'm not going to do it." Kyle said casually.

If he had had such an idea, he had done so that day when Nicolame came, and for Nicol, the secret hidden in the stone was almost indistinguishable from being written directly on it, and could be seen at a glance.

Since I didn't ask at the time, there is no need to waste this time now.

"Whatever you want, if I care about you again, I'll be a leprechaun!" Fleur turned her head and went back to the dormitory in a huff, pulling Connor away before leaving.

"I think I've heard that somewhere......" Kyle shifted the knight's position, "I think she said that two months ago." ”

Cedric shook his head, subconsciously glanced at the shelves in the lounge, and the three shiny stones on it, and then said:

"Actually, I thought you were joking, but who knew you weren't in a hurry at all."

"There's really no need for that, the referees will say it when the time comes." Kyle smiled: "And you should also know about the previous triwizard tournament, only the third event is the real tournament, the first two events are at most a warm-up, by the way to add a little advantage."

And these advantages are also fixed, as long as it is the first place, whether it is a hundred points or eighty points, there is no difference at all. ”

"That's true, but you're probably the only one who can be so calm......" Cedric sighed, "I heard that Fleur was in a hurry the other day, and was still flipping through a book in the break room at one o'clock in the morning." ”

"I didn't pay attention to that."

"I guess so." Cedric said, then changing the subject, "But have you noticed, Fleur seems to have changed a lot lately." ”

"Change?" Kyle thought for a moment and said, "No, hasn't she always been like this?" ”

"That's true for you." Cedric shook his head, "I remember when she first came here with a swaggering attitude towards everyone, but now ...... Anyway, yesterday I saw her correcting a happy spell gesture for a third-grader, something that wouldn't have happened three months ago, right? ”

Fleur Delacour? Correcting gestures for a 3rd grader?

Kyle thought he had misheard, and said incredulously, "Are you sure you're right?" ”

After the Beauxbatons students arrived, there were many people who tried to talk to Fleur under the pretext of asking for a spell, and in the face of them, no matter how old they were, Fleur would basically choose to ignore them directly.

Even Cedric once subconsciously asked her a Transfiguration question, but again received no answer.

"I feel like she's looking at me like she's looking at a sprouted potato." That's what Cedric said at the time.

It's hard to imagine that such a fleur would take the initiative to teach others spell gestures.

"......Of course not," Cedric said firmly, "after all, she's the only one in all of Hogwarts with that kind of silver hair." ”

"Then she's really changed a lot." Kyle muttered.

……

In the days that followed, the atmosphere in the castle began to get louder and louder, and the refueling badges that had been put away were also turned out of the boxes one after another and worn on their bodies.

As for those badges that are lost, or don't have them, you can also go to Sirius and get one for free.

He made a large box of badges himself, which he kept right in front of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, and anyone who wanted it could take one from inside.

Originally, he had left it in his office, but Professor Moody reacted too much to the sudden knock on the door, and after repairing the door three times in a row, Sirius simply put the box directly in the doorway.

Fred and George were the most exaggerated, they hung almost half a box of badges on their robes, and they walked with a clatter as if they were wearing a suit of armor.

With only one day left until the second project, Kyle can now hear all sorts of cheers wherever he goes.

There are students and there are professors.

In the second period of the afternoon, during the second class on protecting magical creatures, Hagrid ran up to Kyle under the pretext of checking his homework, and whispered to him how he had prepared for the past few days.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Hagrid patted him on the shoulder excitedly,

"Before you dealt with the fire dragon, I did worry about it, but now I know that as long as you want to do something, there is nothing you can't do, I am not worried at all, I can feel that you will definitely succeed."

"Thanks, Hagrid......"

Kyle said with his teeth bared, pulling his feet out of the soft dirt by the way.

Sirius was right, Hagrid really should have realized how much strength he had.

In the evening, the atmosphere in the Hufflepuff common room also reached its peak, as two of the three Warriors were here.

Snacks and drinks filled all the tables in the lounge, and as soon as Kyle entered, someone kept stuffing all sorts of candy and dried beef into his pocket, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be in the mood to eat tomorrow and would go hungry during the game.

Although Fleur is a warrior of Beauxbatons, she has lived here for a long time after all, and everyone has not favored one over the other, and has also stuffed some of it for her.

Of course, it's certainly not as much as Kyle's.

And in order to allow the warriors to rest well, before nine o'clock in the evening, everyone spontaneously went back to the dormitory.

Soon, only Kyle and Fleur were left in the break room.

Fleur was also ready to return to Beauxbatons' carriage, and Madame Maxim did not seem to be at ease with her staying in the castle for the night.

But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "If you don't want to go to bed so early at night, go out for a walk."

"Remember to take those rocks and go to the lake on the site and put them in the water, where the moonlight can reach...... Well, that's it. ”

Kyle subconsciously turned his head when he heard this, but by this time Fleur had already left the common room, and all he saw was a closed wooden door.
