Chapter 329: A Way to Calm a Furious Crowd

"I'm not afraid of you, Potter!" The senior moved his right hand to point his wand directly at Harry... but stopped moving soon after, as if he had just become paralyzed.

Cedric did not waste the chance to grab his girlfriend and drag her away from the conflict, despite her complaints.

"What are you waiting for?... curse him!"

The other Hufflepuff seniors who were right behind him began to react.

"There is something wrong," another one said.

"Bloody hell! I'll do it myself!" a third boy pulled his wand.

Harry was not planning on letting anyone fire a single spell. After paralyzing the senior student in front of him, he slammed the palm of his hand on the boy's chest.

The Hufflepuff robes of the boy were transformed into dozens of ropes made of the same fabric and quickly wrapped around all the students that were standing behind him.

"Ahh!"

"What is this?!"

"I can't move!"

There were six Hufflepuff seniors in total, and now all of them had been tangled with the transfigured ropes.

Harry then pulled them all together by tightening the ropes until he created a nice bundle with the six students.

The seniors' screams changed quickly from shock to realization.

"L-Let me go!"

"You can't do this!" they began to complain.

"You rich kids think that you can fix everything with money, huh?... well let me tell you that..." She now noticed that the pouch was filled with gold galleons and there were at least fifty of them.

"Is that not enough?" Harry asked.

A beautiful smile appeared on the face of Madam Rosmerta.

"That will be more than enough, Mister Potter. Come back any time you want."

Harry nodded and led the group outside.

A small crowd had already begun to gather around the screaming boys, but for the moment no one was trying to help them while the Hufflepuff seniors continued to make sounds of complain.

Most of them were younger students and didn't even know where to start to remove Harry's spells, so they just watched in fascination at the spectacle.

"Where do we go now?" Ginny asked while trying to avoid looking at those boys on the floor. The smell alone was enough to turn her stomach.

"What about Madam Puddif—mmmhmm!"

"Hog's Head." Harry covered Lyra's mouth. "It's close by and is usually quiet at least."

"Isn't that a bar for adults?" Neville asked.

Harry pulled another coin pouch. "I'm sure they'll let us in."

Back at the Three Broomsticks, the jovial mood had not returned to normal.

Most of the patrons were whispering among each other, discussing what had just happened.

There were many rumors about Harry Potter already circulating in Hogwarts.

Many claimed he was the powerful wizard who destroyed the Slytherin common room and later on, killed several members of very important pureblood families.

This made it so most students avoided getting into conflict with Harry. But at the end of the day, those were just rumors and no one had seen him acting seriously before.

That was until today... and now there were going to be a lot more rumors.

On the second floor of the tavern, Krum turned to the next table, where the French champion remained silent, as if she was pondering something.

"What is Miss Delacour thinking about? Are you grateful that he is not one of the champions?" There was a tone of mockery mixed in Krum's words.
