Chapter 956 The third item
The dinner was richer than usual, but Albert hurriedly ended the meal without eating much, and returned to the dormitory to make final preparations.
After dinner, everyone will go directly to the Quidditch pitch, and there will be no spare time for him to make final preparations.
Honestly speaking, such an arrangement is very unreasonable, but it is what it is.
When Albert put on the dragon suit and was ready to return to the hall, Dumbledore just stood up from the staff table and raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch pitch to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore's gaze swept across the hall, on several warriors After staying for a while, it finally landed on Albert who had just returned to the hall, and continued: "Now, please, the warriors, go to the Quidditch pitch with Mrs. Burns first."
Albert glanced at the other warriors, turned and walked out of the hall.
Amelia Bones saw the extremely gorgeous fire dragon suit on Albert, frowned and asked, "Are you..."
"Advertisement for Fengya wizard clothing store." Albert shrugged and said, "I wore this item in the first event, and it obviously didn't violate the rules of the competition."
Amelia Bones frowned even deeper. She felt that even if Albert didn't wear this extremely exaggerated outfit, he could easily win the Triwizard Tournament. There was also an advertisement for the Fengya wizard clothing store what's going on?
Why no one told her about it.
Amelia Bones still wanted the game to be as fair as possible, especially now that Albert had the upper hand, but she ended up not expressing any opinion on this matter, which is obviously Ludo Bagman's legacy.
When the warriors followed Amelia Bones into the Quidditch pitch, they were shocked to find that the place had completely changed.
Twenty-foot-tall hedges surrounded the edge of the Quidditch field, and the place where the warriors entered was just at the entrance of the Great Maze. It seemed that in order to create a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere, the game was specially scheduled to be held after dinner. The dark labyrinth passages looked a bit intrusive.
The audience followed, and it didn't take long before the stands were packed.
Many of Albert's acquaintances and friends cheered for him in the stands.
The banner of "Albert must win, Hogwarts must win," was hung in the air again, as if they were worried that people would not be able to see the writing on the banner due to poor visibility at night. The portraits shone with magic.
The Hogwarts choir also seemed to come to add to the fun of the game. They played sparse tunes, which made people suspect that they were here to make up the number.
Amidst the excited voices of the audience and the sparse music of the choir, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick entered the Quidditch pitch in sequence.
As if to tell everyone that we are patrol members, the four professors all wore wizard hats with shiny red stars, which looked extremely funny. Hagrid seemed to hate those hats, and wore a terry vest with a red star on it.
"We arranged for four professors to patrol outside the maze."
Professor Dumbledore continued to preside over the match, his eyes swept over several warriors, and motioned them to look at the professors around him. Then, he called several warriors to his side, and said: "If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, just shoot red sparks into the sky, and someone will come to help you soon, do you understand?"
The warriors nodded together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"
Dumbledore stood on the podium next to him, pointed his wand at his throat, and let the sound amplified by magic spread throughout the Quidditch pitch.
"The warrior who gets the trophy first will be the champion of the game." Dumbledore continued to explain the rules of the game: "The order in which the warriors enter the maze will be determined by the scores of the previous two games. Now, let me report the current score!"
"Albert, Albert, Albert..."
Before Dumbledore made an official announcement, there was a burst of cheers and shouts from the stands.
"He's really popular."
Bill was amazed at Albert's popularity. A large number of flags and banners in the stands were prepared for Albert, while Harry's supporters were pitifully few. Even Fred and George were waving Special flags cheer Albert.
"However, that outfit is really handsome." Bill was attracted by the gorgeous dragon suit on Albert's body.
"That's a dragon suit worth several thousand Galleons." Ron said in a sour tone. He also wanted to take a photo in that gorgeous dress.
In the family seats, Nia and Isobel were waving at Albert.
"Albert Anderson—100 points, first place, Hogwarts school!" Dumbledore announced after the noise subsided.
"Harry Potter—85 points, second place, Hogwarts School!"
Compared with the popular Albert, Harry has almost no supporters, which makes Mrs. Weasley a little bit aggrieved.
"Don't be angry Mom, Harry's most important thing now is not to win the championship, but to wait until the end of the game safely." Ron quickly comforted.
"Viktor Krum - 75 points, third place, Durmstrang Academy!"
Krum received much more applause and cheers than Harry. This is the benefit of being an international star, and he also has quite a few fans in Hogwarts.
"Fleur Delacour—65 points, fourth place, Beauxbaton College!"
Furong's beauty made her popular among boys, and many people were also willing to give her applause and cheers.
"Okay, Mr. Anderson, after my whistle sounds, you choose an entrance to enter the maze." Dumbledore looked sideways at Albert, and started counting down, "Three-two-!"
After a brief whistle sounded, Albert did not rush into the maze at all, but turned to look at the stands, smiled and waved to Isobel and Nia, and then amidst the cheers and screams of everyone, he did not rush into the maze. Walk into the maze without haste.
This scene made Krum's parents very depressed, who is the Quidditch star!
"Did you take a picture?"
In the stands, Mike Dabo, who was dressed very flamboyantly, was asking the photographer around him. He thought Albert was really handsome in the scene just now, and the calmness that seemed to be under control was really handsome.
"Ok, I can guarantee with my profession that after these photos are published, a large group of girls will fall in love with him completely, and Mr. Anderson will definitely become the object of countless people's attention." The photographer said excitedly.
About thirty seconds later, Harry also picked a random entrance and walked in.
As soon as you enter the maze, the entrance will automatically close.
Harry had no intention of breaking the agreement with Sirius, and was going to stay where he was until the end of the game.
However, the maze didn't seem to intend to keep Harry waiting, because the hedges on either side of the passage showed signs of closing.
Isn't it to let him wait on the perimeter for the game to end?
Looking at the gradually closing maze, Harry cursed in his heart, and was forced to quicken his pace to avoid being swallowed by the closing hedge.
After the four warriors entered the maze one after another, the fake Moody, who was a patrol member, also started his own actions. He could easily locate the warriors through his magic eyes. The mudblood was not in a hurry to solve the maze, but walked in a leisurely manner, as easy as walking in a park.
"There are oddities."
Jr. Barty immediately sensed something was wrong. He could see that Albert had a problem. Walking slowly like this, it didn't look like he wanted to win the trophy and win the game, but he seemed to be waiting for himself on purpose.
"By the way, that Mudblood is a fortune-teller, and he knew the third project was dangerous a long time ago." Barty Jr. murmured and analyzed, "Since he dares to do this, it means he has confidence in himself."
"What a proud and conceited idiot, do you really think that what you see in divination and prophecy is the result? That thing is not reliable at all." Little Barty was not angry, but was happy to see Albert move slowly and give him Enough time.
"You'll regret it."
Little Barty looked at the patrol member not far away, quietly raised his wand, pointed at the back of another patrol member, and whispered: "The soul is out of the body!"
"I will let you have no chance to regret it!" Little Barty looked at the shaky figure in front of him, knowing that the other party was resisting the control of the Imperius Curse.
He didn't give the other party a chance to break free from the Imperius Curse, and once again strengthened the control of the Imperius Curse.
"Successful."
Little Barty's face became even more ferocious. He looked at Albert's position and murmured, "I will let you have no chance to regret it!"
