Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Filch and the Accident on Mount Olympus
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch field to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament..."
When the enchanted ceiling was dotted with stars, Dumbledore stood up in front of the staff seat and everyone fell silent.
The dinner was more sumptuous than usual, but the warriors didn't eat much, and they were all very nervous now.
"...Now please ask the warriors to follow Mr. Bagman to the playground."
Dumbledore clapped his hands and signaled the warriors present to follow Bagman who was standing at the door of the hall.
Harry stood up, and the Gryffindor students looked at him and applauded him together.
The Weasleys and Sirius also sat at the Gryffindor table - they were all Gryffindor students, and they also wished him good luck together.
At the same time, at the long table of Hufflepuff College, there was a warm applause from the seats of Beauxbatons, Invermorny and Durmstrang.
Harry, Cedric, Fleur, Viktor and John gathered together in applause and walked out of the hall together.
"Feeling okay, Harry?" Bagman followed them as they walked down the stone steps and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Very good," Harry said.
He was telling the truth. Although he was indeed nervous, he kept reviewing the spells he had learned during this period in his mind. Those complex spells were vivid in his mind, as if he could blurt them out by waving his wand.
This confident state made him feel much better.
The warriors walked all the way to the location of the original Quidditch field - it had become completely unrecognizable, and even Harry and Cedric, who had trained here for a long time, could not believe that this was once a field.
A twenty-foot-high hedge surrounded the edge of the field, with only a gap in front of them, which was probably the entrance to this giant maze.
The passage inside the maze was dark, and standing outside, nothing could be seen, which seemed a bit scary.
"Hey, has the security professor arrived?" Furong's eyes swept across the entrance of the maze and found a silver-haired figure standing high on the hedge surrounding the maze.
A bright crescent moon hung behind Dracula.
Tonight was a waning moon, and the crescent moon lay on its side to the lower right, as if it was supported behind Dracula's head, turning into a crystal pillow in a flattering manner.
"I remember when we left the auditorium, wasn't he still eating in the staff seat?" John asked curiously, "Why did he arrive before us?"
"It's Professor Dracula's routine operation, you'll get used to it." Cedric chuckled.
Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands.
Hundreds of students filed into their seats, and the air was filled with excited voices and chaotic footsteps.
Lights were lit around the maze, blending with the stars in the sky, illuminating the venue brightly.
Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick walked into the stadium and approached Bagman and several warriors.
They all had glowing red stars on their hats, except for Hagrid, whose red star was on the back of his thick terry vest - the professors couldn't find a hat that would fit him for a while.
"In addition to Professor Dracula, we will also patrol outside the maze," Professor McGonagall said to the warriors, "If you encounter difficulties and want to get rescue, you must shoot red sparks into the sky in time, and someone will come to help you, do you understand?"
The warriors nodded in unison.
"In addition, if you encounter a very urgent danger and don't have time to cast red sparks, remember to shout loudly," Professor McGonagall warned, "Professor Dracula can usually hear your shouts."
She looked at the two Hogwarts students, Harry and Cedric, and took a deep breath.
"Good luck in the game!"
After Bagman and Professor McGonagall finished their instructions, they walked in front of the three temporary patrol members.
"Then I'll trouble you, three professors!" he said to them happily.
"Good luck, Harry." Hagrid whispered a blessing to Harry, and then turned and left.
The three professors walked away in different directions, distributed around the maze.
Then, Bagman pointed his wand at his throat and said "loud voice", and his voice amplified by magic echoed in the stands.
A dazzling red light shot out from the tip of John's wand and rushed straight into the sky.
However, just before the sparks were about to burst out of the tall fence, another spell arrived and intercepted them in a split second.
It was Filch's universal spell to break the spell!
John's heart sank.
Suddenly, he thought of what Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts had told them before the game started -
"If you encounter a very urgent danger and don't have time to cast the red sparks, remember to shout loudly. Professor Dracula can usually hear your shouts."
John's eyes lit up, and he didn't care whether the silencing spells around him would block his shouts. With a one-in-a-million hope, he began to shout loudly to the sky.
"Professor Dracula, help me!"
However, "Filch" didn't react to his actions. Instead, he walked forward leisurely with an evil smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Professor Dracula, whom you rely on, has been led away..." He said with a sinister smile, "No one can hear your call for help now."
Then, "Filch" raised his wand-
"Imperio."
...
Five minutes ago, just when John had just entered the maze to start the game.
Dracula stood on the high fence, looking into the depths of the maze with interest.
At this moment, his eyes moved slightly.
A delicate crystal ball emitting a soft glow was taken out of Dracula's pocket.
This crystal ball has not been used for several years. It is a pair connected to the crystal ball that Weiss sent to Romania three years ago.
In the center of the crystal ball of the Mo Lake, there should be a dim moon rotating quietly.
However, at this moment, the dark moon has become extremely bright, flashing and shining.
This means that Selina has a message to pass on to him.
Dracula frowned, glanced at the glittering crystal ball, and then looked into the depths of the maze.
With Professor McGonagall and the others patrolling, there shouldn't be any problems in the game in the short term, right?
He thought so, and then disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Dracula appeared on a small island outside the Hogwarts area, and his adopted daughter Serena, whose hair was half black and half white, was waiting for him on the island.
"What's wrong? Is there something urgent that you came here suddenly?" Dracula frowned and asked, "If there is nothing urgent, I will go back first. There is something going on over there."
"No, this matter is very urgent!" Selena walked quickly to Dracula's side with an extremely anxious look on her face, "It's the Greek magic world. Minister Abertel said that something happened on Mount Olympus!"
"What?" Dracula frowned tightly, "Why at this time?"
"I don't know." Selena shook her head, "Only you can enter that secret realm. I can't find a solution with several high-level vampires, so I can only come to contact you."
She looked at Dracula with some concern and asked, "Is it Ander There is a problem with Uncle Ross again. Previously, it was the despicable Herpo who suddenly increased his power, causing the movement of Mount Olympus. "
"But I have been very restrained recently and have not gone to kill the Dementors." Dracula was a little confused, but still shrugged, "Forget it, I still have to go and take a look, in case there is any big problem with Andros."
Then, he looked at Selena: "I should be a security guard at the semi-finals. Now that I have to leave Hogwarts and go to Mount Olympus to check the situation, this position needs someone to take over."
"How about this, Selena, you help me watch the stadium, and I will try to come back as soon as possible."
"Me?" Selena asked incredulously.
"That's right, there's no time to find someone else in such a short time." Dracula nodded, raised his hand and conjured two dark moons, "Go, this is the way to the Quidditch field at Hogwarts."
As he spoke, he pushed Selena into one of the dark moons without saying anything, and then stepped into the other one and came to the top of Mount Olympus where the incident happened.
