Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Have you found it?" Dumbledore frowned. Hagrid, McGonagall, and Snape stood before him, but they all shook their heads."I can't find it anywhere, she just disappeared from the castle." Snape said coldly."I didn't find the kid in the forbidden forest either. Whether it was crossing the lake or elsewhere, I have looked for all the places I could find." Hagrid waved his hand."I also asked other students. The last time Siegel appeared in people's sight that I could confirm was two days ago. She just disappeared suddenly." McGonagall pursed his lips. .

"Let’s go to class as usual," Dumbledore said."If this is not an individual case, there may be other missing persons! Shouldn't we tell the students..." Before McGonagall finished speaking, Dumbledore stopped her and shook his head.

"No, it is still not certain that she is missing, nor can it cause anxiety and panic among other students during the exam and before the game..." Dumbledore said calmly. He had confronted Max before, but Zoe did not It may disappear for no reason. The most likely thing to think about this is that she started acting on her own, with the goal of realizing the plan.

He felt Snape's eyes hit him nonchalantly, Hagrid circled in anxious manner, McGonagall looked calmer, but his facial expression was stiff.He urged them to pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and report to him directly if there is a special situation, and then they left his office one by one.

Snape was the last to leave. Before leaving, he turned around: "How much can you control this time?"

"I thought it would be half, but now... even 30% is gone." Dumbledore said, "I probably only pray."

"Siegel is my student." Snape said, and he held his arm somewhere. "My mark is beginning to hurt and fever again. The conspiracy is all around us. Are you sure you don't stop the game?"

"Since the vow has been signed, the Warriors cannot withdraw..." Snape stared into Dumbledore's eyes."But at the same time, you are condoning evil. As long as the situation is not completely out of control, you don't plan to attack that lunatic, right?"

He didn't wait for Dumbledore to reply: "...Call me if you need it. I won't give up looking for it, unless she finishes all my schoolwork..."

Question 1: Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of the Animagus form

It couldn't be easier to write the correct answer. Hermione had already remembered all these things thoroughly, and these questions had never troubled her.But now she could only stare at the blank answer area of ​​the test paper, turning her quill unconsciously, staring at the initial dot of ink dripping on the parchment in a daze, but she couldn't write a word.

After she learned the news last night, she tried her best to stay calm, calm Luna's uneasy emotions, and asked her carefully for details. Finally, she took her to find Professor McGonagall and reported the disappearance of Zoe, hoping to let the professors. Join in too... This unusual thing immediately got the attention of the professors. They immediately found Dumbledore and started investigating. However, they asked the children to stop the investigation and return to the lounge because they were the next day. There is also a final exam.

Hermione knew that what the professors said was very reasonable. They could play a limited role, and they did not have the authority to access more places like the professors. The most important thing was that they did not have enough staff, even if Harry and Luo were added. Well, it’s just a clueless mess. If they are in danger due to going deep into the dangerous area, the professors will also devote their energy to take care of them. No matter what they think, they will immediately go back to the dormitory to sleep as the professors said, so as to raise their energy. Doing what you should do, not causing trouble to the adults, and waiting for their conclusion is the best choice so far.

Hermione did the same thing last night. She told Luna what she thought, hoping she would go back to sleep. Even though she knew that Zoe might be in danger, she knew better that she couldn't do anything now."Finish what should be done beforehand, Luna. We can't just give up like that, but not now, you are too tight, I am worried..."

"We were still talking two days ago, but I didn't notice her strangeness..." Luna closed her eyes and said sadly, "She also came back late that night, and we all slept, if I ask more What happened in a few sentences, won't this happen anymore?"

"Nothing like this, it's not your fault." Hermione told her a lot before she was willing to go back to sleep and take the exam the next day. After their appointment was over, they went to the professors to ask for clues. Restart the investigation in your own way.Hermione apologized to Harry and told him that she would not be going to watch his last game.

"I hope this is just a false alarm." She tossed and turned on the bed, only using these words to comfort herself.Hermione tried to let go of these chaotic thoughts and get a good night's sleep, but those things ignored her wishes at all. They just kept releasing more anxiety and confusion, which made her uncontrollably come up with many unexpected thoughts. .

When she comforted Luna, she could stay sensible for the time being, because she knew she could not mess up yet, but in the dead of night, the loudest noise in her ears was the panic and irritable emotion of wanting to scream when the roommate’s subtle breathing sounded. It began to grow wildly.Even the soft bed seemed to be pricked with needles, and there was no way to relax.Not to mention closing your eyes and going to bed, just closing your eyes, the fantasies about Zoe's suffering kept pouring out.Live as if it were a fact.

In the end, Hermione fell asleep, but it didn’t take long before Lavender and the others woke her up when they woke her up. Then she was completely unconscious, just washing and eating instinctively, following Gryffin. Many students go to the classroom to take an exam together.She did a good job in the practical exams. She was already very good, let alone learning new knowledge and consolidating old knowledge with Harry and the others during this time.Her flying curse and expulsion curse were also praised by Professor Flitwick.

But when they started the final transformation exam (part of the exam was finished last week), she was sitting in the exam room, picking up a quill and preparing to fill in the name, she seemed to wake up from a dream again, and reality approached her again In front of.She can read every question on this paper and know the answer to every question, but she can't write a word.

I am taking an exam now.It's already the third day.This is a serious and serious final exam.She has not come back today.The test results will affect my overall score and ranking, I should go all out.Where is she now?Is it safe to be with someone?Is the body healthy?What I can do now is to finish the paper in front of me and not let the results of the whole year go to waste. I can do my best. I don’t want to lose to anyone. Now these emotions have begun to hinder my thinking. Yes, I should exclude them...

"Hermione!" After the exam was over, Luna ran to the place they had arranged to meet."I asked Hagrid, Zoe should have never been to the Forbidden Forest. Her footprints could not be found in the forest, and the horseman had not seen similar students in their haunt range, and she should have not been to the lake. Passed by; I also asked Professor McGonagall and some fourth-grade Ravenclaw students..." She gushed about sharing the information she got with Luna.

"How do you know so much!" Luna asked in surprise. "Aren't these all we should ask now?"

"Uh, nothing... I have plenty of time." Hermione twitched her mouth, still seeming to be unbelievable because of her decision. "I didn't take the exam, so I just handed in a blank paper and ran away from the exam room."

The Quidditch stadium, which used to be empty and open, now has a square hedge as high as twenty feet, covering the maze that has been built inside, and only a one-person wide gap is released in one corner, as the warriors play third. The entrance to the game.

Harry swallowed. He and the other three warriors were standing in front of the entrance. His emotions were still very high. He glanced at the auditorium from time to time, not just his godfather Sirius, even the Weasley family. People all come to cheer for him as relatives.When he was called into the hall, he hadn't expected that so many people would laugh and pray for him.

He wants to win and wants those people to be proud of him.When he was very young, he was abused by the Dursleys, locked in a narrow, dark storage room, eating unpalatable, small amounts of food, and had to endure their treatment of his cousin Dudley and his He would occasionally think of his parents, when he watched his uncle and aunt doting on Dudley unprincipledly, he would think more.

And now he can wave to the audience, several hands will wave to him, as well as those warm eyes that are expected.

"Are you confident, Harry?" Bagman patted him on the shoulder. For some reason, this man had always paid attention to him differently from other players. Harry could feel that Bagman especially wanted him to win. It even seemed a bit suspicious.

He didn't say much, but Fudge beside him shook hands with Harry.Since Crouch entered St Mungo, they disqualified Percy Weasley as acting referee and replaced it with Minister of Magic Fudge.

Bagman soon began to announce the rules in public, the trophy is at the end, and those who cross the maze and difficulties can win the final victory.With anxiety and expectations, a loud whistle sounded in Harry's ear.

Chapter 101 The Third Game (Part 2)

I am not your pawn!

No matter how loud the yelling is, he still can't resist the darkness corroding himself.What is the reality now?How long has the time passed?Is everything too late?The answers are all unknown.The moment when he heard the truth from Crouch's mouth, the weightlessness and suffocation caused by the seawater flooding the top of his head was about to be taken away again.

To Zoe, Max is like a mountain with her head up without seeing the top, and her position is in the deep shadow of the mountain that hangs down infinitely.No matter how you flee, you can't do without being shrouded in shadow.

Why do you want to escape?Someone asked.Since it is shrouded in shadows and cannot escape its range, why not break it open with dazzling light?The fangs trained are just for this moment, there is no longer nothing in the hand, there are torches burning.That is an advantage that the opponent cannot see through.

Since the other party can peer through oneself, and since oneself can also isolate the window from the inner peer, why can't oneself peer through Max's spirit?It's impossible. Since Max can do this, it's impossible for her to be different from herself in spirit.

Calm down, then try.If your hands and feet are bound, you can untie it. If your eyes are blinded, you can pull it apart. You can’t do it twice or three times once...Experience this kind of thing, as long as you try repeatedly, you will always become proficient. .It is not possible to just wait, because neither the enemy's release of water nor the friend's rescue will appear forever.

In this case, you can only move forward on your own. If you want to break through the established and unreasonable destiny, you can only start with the first step yourself.

"Faint!" Harry cast a spell at the escaping Krum. After the big boy fell face down to the ground, he panted and ran to the crooked Cedric on the other side. It happened that Krum used the Heart Drill on Cedric. Cedric's scream was the best sign, but Krum ran away as soon as he saw him appear.

Cedric told him that Krum was sneaking behind him, and then he used the poisonous curse on him."This bastard, does he want to stay in Azkaban for the rest of his life?" He said that, even if he got into trouble, Krum could only stand trial in his country."I also heard Fleur's scream before, do you think Krum did it?" Harry asked Cedric, who gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Transmit the signal, he's fainted here, he will be hurt by those things." Harry looked at Krum and lifted Cedric.Although Cedric had many complaints, he still launched the red spark in the air. As long as the professors patrolling nearby saw this signal, they would come in and rescue the Warriors, which also meant that they had not completed the mission.

It seems that he and Cedric are the only two left. Fleur and Krum are out of the game without any accident. The victory belongs to Hogwarts... But they just looked at each other and knew that they should not relax. At that time, the two of them still need to be in a high and low comparison. If Hermione was there, she would probably scold him severely for being unnecessary.But she didn't understand, there must be a tie between them, and Harry thought of Qiu Chang's smiling face again for no reason.

They each chose a road and separated at the next fork.Harry followed the directional spell and the road signs.It’s strange that he didn’t encounter much difficulty on the way, even the ten-foot-long snail with a hard carapace that frightened Cedric (when he did encounter it, Harry instantly Had a resentment towards Hagrid), and only met once.

But perhaps he was a little bit happy. When he ran into the Sphinx head-on (he had seen the description of this magical creature in the "Book of Monsters" designated by Hagrid last semester), he thought It is impossible for me to escape from this big guy with head, lion and scorpion tail. Fortunately, the Sphinx does not seem to be chasing him. The challenge it initiates is a mystery, just like the origin of this monster. , In that mysterious ancient country, those shining puzzles are the same.

Harry finally solved the puzzle. It was an answer made by concatenating the letter combination of the keyword. The Sphinx stepped back, and he walked a distance further, following the instructions of the directional spell, his mood He became more brisk, and finally the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament appeared in front of him.When he ran towards the trophy, he suddenly jumped in half way-a figure came in and ran in front of him.

Cedric charged towards the trophy with undivided attention, but did not notice the approaching danger. Harry noticed that the spider the size of a chariot rushed towards Cedric and quickly reminded him that Cedric was dangerous and dangerous. Dodging, the wand dropped, and the man fell out."Cedric!" Even Harry couldn't tell why he attacked the spider without even thinking about it, but when the spider's eyes locked on him, Harry knew that he was the one who was at risk...

The price of solving the spider was Harry’s leg. The robe was torn by the spider’s tongs and the blood flowed. Harry looked at Cedric (the trophy is close at hand), and then at the trophy in front, how tempting it is The things are glory, money and praise.

"Go ahead and get the trophy." The face that was pleasantly surprised by the Mid-Autumn Festival was shattered, Sirius laughed proudly, Mrs. Weasley's gentle touch, and the admiring eyes of Ron and Hermione disappeared. .Harry's heart was heavy, but he didn't want to show weakness in front of Cedric and said softly.

Unexpectedly, instead of holding the trophy excitedly, Cedric walked over with a complicated expression."No, you're the one who really should pick up the trophy, Harry. You saved my life twice." He bent over and put one of Harry's arms on his shoulders, supporting him hard."Your leg is hurt, let's go slowly."

The short journey seemed so long, because they could only limp towards the end.They humbly and shied away from each other along the way, and no one could persuade anyone. They all hoped that the other side would take the shining trophy and win the final victory.Harry knew that Cedric wanted to win too. He wanted it too, but he couldn't become a merciless and merciless person.

"Let's go together." Finally they stood in front of the trophy for a long time when Harry said suddenly.Cedric's handsome, sometimes nasty (mostly when standing with Qiu) face has an incredible look.

"This—this is your honor—"

"This is the honour of the two of us, helping each other to overcome difficulties. Without the presence of another person, neither of us can get to this point. Come on, Cedric, we are together." Cedric looked at him in a daze. For a long time, he finally smiled and nodded firmly.He supported Harry, and both of them nodded towards each other."Three, two, one..." They held the handle of the trophy.

*******

"Did you feel it, Tom?" The chuckle dissipated like smoke, and there was a stern, mocking voice."Yes, our net caught the prey smoothly...Let's take a look at the bewildered face of my destined enemy."

"It's almost, it's almost." The girl leaned on a tombstone slanting into the ground. She looked at the stone crucible in the open space in the center of the graveyard that could hold a person. Put a colorless liquid, a whole pot, and flames burning below, "Actually, even if I don’t come, you can still achieve your goal, can’t you? Our Mr. Wormtail can definitely handle this kind of physical labor that doesn’t require brainpower. , It’s done perfectly."
