Penello quickly buried his disappointment and regret deep in his heart and said straightforwardly, "Then I won't be a hostage. But Hermione, do you think you're more suitable than me to be Allen's hostage? The things you've done for Allen are far worse than what I've done for him. I'm willing to do anything for Allen. The reason you're working so hard in the training class is because you have the selfish desire to improve your reputation in order to liberate the house elves. Moreover, in the recent matches, not only were you unable to help Allen resolve his worries and provide him with help, you even found a burden for him. Training Harry will waste Allen's training time! "
Hermione was stunned. She pondered for a moment. There was nothing wrong with expanding her influence in the training class, and there was nothing wrong with wanting to improve the living environment of the house elves.
However, Allen could have ignored Harry. It was because of her request that Allen spent time and energy on Harry. She was completely competent in training Harry after consulting Allen.
Hermione turned her head somewhat sadly, but her peripheral vision swept over Penello's arrogant and wanton smile, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in her heart.
"Penello, since we're not qualified, let Luna go." Hermione saw the vengeful smile on Penello's face and thought of Allen's unusual attitude toward Luna. Penello knew nothing about this, so she suggested.
Penello raised one eyebrow and glared at Hermione. Hermione looked back without backing down. Penello couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Why did Hermione recommend Luna to go? Was she trying to rope in a helper to fight against him? But now she was the right candidate.
Penello snorted and nodded in agreement to Hermione's suggestion. He pressed down on his Perception Imprint and Phantom Shift left the tower.
Penello found Allen by the lake. The evening sun formed a golden halo around Allen's body. From afar, Penello reached out her hand, wanting to touch and get closer. Her eyes were slightly red. She blinked and let the drop of crystal evaporate in the air. The corners of her mouth curved up at a suitable angle as she walked towards the sun.
Allen turned around when he heard the commotion. When he saw Penello, the smile on his face was warmer than the sun.
"I'm not Hermione. My reputation isn't good right now, I'm almost being described as a she-devil. If I appear beside you, it will hurt you and Family Harris' image," Penello's voice sounded bitter as he told Allen the result of his discussion with Hermione.
Allen tightened his grip on Penello's hand. He asked about Penello's experience in Albania and checked Penello's body. When Penello was about to leave, Allen pulled her back by the arm and hugged her tightly.
Penello was slightly stunned. Her heart was filled with infinite warmth. She tilted her head, bent her knees slightly, and rested her head on Allen's shoulder.
Allen stroked Penello's short black hair. He secretly made a decision in his heart. He wanted to change the original method of the competition.
Just like the rumors in the Hogwarts, the committee did indeed erupt into debate about how to determine the hostages. In the end, they decided to let the Warriors themselves decide who would be the hostages.
Because they couldn't use Telepathy on Allen, they couldn't confirm Allen's true thoughts. If they still followed the previous method, it would be too unfair to the other Warriors. However, the results could only be known by the parties involved and the committee. It couldn't be leaked to avoid uncontrollable accidents.
Allen was the first to be questioned because he had the highest score in the first round. Allen and Luna didn't waste their time. They straightforwardly reported Luna's name.
With Harry and Ginny, they got a positive answer very easily.
Hibiscus Chinensis also said Albert's name without hesitation. The committee asked for Albert's opinion, and Albert immediately replied in agreement.
Such a smooth start boosted the committee's confidence.
They found Krum. Under Kakarov's malicious gaze, Krum reported Hermione's name.
"Please allow me to go with you to invite Hermione." Krum ignored Kakarov's dissatisfied gaze and asked in a deep voice.
Hermione, who was focused on training Harry by the lake, always thought of Penello's words that day. Her expression was more serious than before. When she saw Krum and the committee come to her, the smart Hermione immediately guessed. However, rejecting others wasn't a pleasant thing.
"Hermione, as far as I know, Allen has a lot of girls around him. You're not his only one, nor are you the girl he loves the most. However, I'm devoted to you. I'm not as fickle as Allen. Can you consider helping me?"
Krum persuaded from the bottom of his heart.
He was indeed very sincere, but Hermione's anger gradually rose. How Allen was, how she felt, wasn't something an outsider could easily comment on.
However, even if Hermione coldly rejected his request, Krum still wanted to continue pestering her.
Allen, who was not far away, saw this situation and quickly rushed over. He just happened to hear Krum's bitter persuasion.
"Since Miss Granger is unwilling, then Mr. Krum, you still have to consider other candidates." The wizard in charge of the committee was not interested in waiting any longer and said goodbye to Krum.
The person in charge felt a gust of wind blow over his head, but he didn't pay much attention to it and quickly left the Hogwarts.
At the same time, a few strands of hair appeared in Allen's hand. He nodded to Krum without batting an eyelid and left the lake with Hermione.
Back at Family Harris' tower, Allen immediately summoned the house elf Maggie: "Maggie, keep an eye on Krum. Once you find him going to the office of the Ministry of Magic, immediately come back and report to me."
The little elf stared with her big sparkling eyes, nodded happily, and with a snap, disappeared.
When the excited little elf appeared again, Allen threw the hair of the official into the brewed compound decoction provided by the H94 uniform. He frowned and took a big gulp.
Allen casually cast an illusion spell on himself. The clothes on his body also changed into the clothes of the official of the Ministry of Magic, and he disappeared from the tower in an instant.
When he appeared again, he had already changed into the official of the Ministry of Magic. He pretended to meet Krum by chance and stopped him.
Krum, who had a lot on his mind, did not suspect anything. He told the official of the Ministry of Magic in front of him about his hostage candidate and hurriedly left.
Allen dispelled the illusion spell on his body, and a few more strands of Krum's hair appeared in his hand.
Watching Krum walk away, Allen walked into the boys' bathroom. After a while, Krum walked out and walked towards the temporary office of the official of the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts.
After knocking on the door and entering, Allen, who had changed into Krum, found that Mr. Crouch was also in the office. A few Aura surrounded him.
After he explained his purpose for coming, Mr. Crouch looked at him with interest.
"The person you miss the most is Ron Weasley?" Albert, who was standing behind Crouch, asked in surprise.
"Do you really think that boys are cuter than girls?" Albert asked repeatedly.
Allen laughed in his heart. His big brother was really straightforward.
