Usually, the beginning of the summer semester meant that Allen and the other Quidditch players had to step up their training and prepare for the last Quidditch game of the season.
But this year, he and Harry had to prepare for the fourth and final project of the Trifecta. Unlike the other Warriors who did not know what to do, Allen's life was very fulfilling. Even the research on golem production that he developed out of interest during the holidays was delayed due to the books on Dementors and demons that took up most of his time.
Time flew by, and it was the last week of May. Allen received a note from Professor Fleevy. "Please come to Quidditch Stadium at nine o 'clock tonight. Mr. Bagman will announce the fourth project there."
After reading the note, Allen casually stuffed it into the pocket of his magic robe.
So, at half past eight in the evening, when Allen passed by the school library, he happened to see Hibiscus Chinensis coming out of it.
"What do you think it will be?" Hibiscus Chinensis asked as the two walked down the stone steps together and merged into the dark clouds of the night.
"What do you think it will be?" Allen did not answer. Instead, he asked Hibiscus Chinensis.
"An underground tunnel. The committee may want us to look for treasure," Hibiscus Chinensis said with sparkling eyes.
He did not expect Hibiscus Chinensis to be so interested in finding treasure. Maybe he could consider giving her a Sniff next Christmas. By then, whether or not his aunt could get rid of the scandal of the human-headed manticore causing the death of her subordinates, it would not be a problem anymore. It would be easy to get permission for Hibiscus Chinensis.
They walked along the dark lawn towards the Quidditch Stadium, and then entered the stadium through a gap between the stands.
"What are they doing here?" Harry's angry voice rang out in the stadium.
The Quidditch Stadium was no longer flat and smooth. It looked as if someone had built countless long short walls here. These short walls were intricate and meandering in all directions.
"A maze?" Hibiscus Chinensis muttered to herself with uncertainty. She then lowered her head and carefully observed the short wall closest to her.
"How do you do!" cried a cheerful voice.
Ludo? Bagman stood in the middle of the court with several other Warriors standing beside him. Allen and Hibiscus Chinensis crossed the hedges and walked towards them.
"What do you think?" When Allen and Hibiscus Chinensis climbed over the last hedge, Bagman asked cheerfully, "Good progress, right? In another month, Hagrid would make them twenty feet tall. Don't worry. "
When he saw the unhappy expression on Harry's face, he smiled and said, "Once the tournament is over, Quidditch Stadium will be restored to its original state! Well, I think you can probably guess what we're going to do here, right? "
For a moment, no one spoke. Then …
"Labyrinth," Krum said gruffly.
"Bingo!" said Bagman. "It's a labyrinth. The last event is very simple and clear. The Goblet of Fire is placed in the middle of the labyrinth. Whichever Warrior touches it first will become the final champion. This tournament is unprecedentedly grand. Not only will Hogsmeade Village's carnival last until the end of the tournament, but the final challenge will also be sponsored by many pureblood families. Even if they can't become the champion, it will ensure that every Warrior will receive their share of the rewards according to their ranking. Allen, we have to thank the Harris Family for their exemplary role when they took the lead in donating the live broadcast equipment. This allowed the 28 pure-blooded families who still had some money to spare to discover the benefits of the Hegemony Tournament for improving their reputation. Otherwise, these conservative and stingy old fellows would not have taken the initiative to donate such a large amount of gold coins so that every warrior would not return empty-handed. "
"We just have to pass through the maze?" asked Hibiscus Chinensis.
"There will be many obstacles," said Bagman cheerfully. However, he thought of something and frowned. "Some families with farms will provide a large number of monsters. Because of the large number of monsters, it will be too dangerous. You should know what happened to Josephine's Magical Animal Management and Control Department. This makes things very difficult for us. We haven't decided what to put in at the end … There are also some spells that have to be removed … Things like that, you know. Also, the Warriors with the lead will enter the maze first. "
Bagman smiled at Allen. "Next, Mr. Krum will enter. His strong performance in the last match allowed him to overtake Mr. Potter … Finally, Mr. Hernandez. But you all have to work hard to succeed. It will depend on your ability to pass through the obstacles. It should be fun, right? "
"The Magical Animal Management and Control Department recently found a Lion-Tailed Scorpion Beast when they were investigating smuggling with Aura. This Lion-Tailed Scorpion Beast even killed seven people! Now, you still want to put a monster in? "Bruck Hernandez asked. Hernandez's face turned pale as he recalled the news he had seen some time ago. He would be injured by all kinds of monsters in every match. He no longer had any hope of winning the championship. He just wanted to wait until the end of the last match, and he would be satisfied as long as he didn't get injured again.
"Very well … If you don't have any questions, let's go back to the castle, okay? It's a little cold here … "
"Allen, let's go. Gabrielle is still waiting for me to tell her a bedtime story in the carriage … Allen?" When Hibiscus Chinensis was urging Allen, she noticed that he seemed to be distracted. She couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes to get him to come back to his senses.
"Uh … sorry, Hibiscus Chinensis. I was just worried about my aunt." Allen used the Magical Animal Management and Control Department to brush off Hibiscus Chinensis. In fact, he was worried about the small changes in the plot of the last match. However, he wasn't surprised. After all, Lord Voldemort and Little Crouch knew about his strong performance in the previous three matches. They definitely wouldn't pin their hopes on Harry to be the first to reach the Goblet of Fire. However, now that he had lost the foresight of the plot, he was worried about what kind of changes would happen in the end.
Harry was much calmer after knowing the details of the competition. The next day, he saw Hagrid fully recovered, and his mood was even better.
At this moment, Hagrid was standing outside the cabin waiting for his classmates. Beside his feet were some open cardboard boxes that they had never seen before.
Hermione's heart sank when she saw the cardboard boxes. Don't tell me they hatched another nest of fried tail snails?
