After parting ways with Hibiscus Chinensis, Elwyn did not return to the castle. Instead, he went to Hagrid's small wooden hut.
Harry and Sirius were there. Sirius had already turned back into a big black dog.
Before the start of the competition, he would nominally stay at Hagrid's place.
It was fine even if the students accidentally saw him. He could use the excuse that Hagrid had found a new pet as an excuse to cover it up.
After knowing that he had giant blood, everyone was already used to Hagrid's behavior!
He had a soft spot for dangerous animals with ferocious appearances and sharp fangs. He could always find some rare and special species to bring back to raise.
It would be abnormal if Hagrid did not find some new dangerous animals every few days.
Compared to the three-headed hound, eight-eyed spider, and fried tail conch, a big black dog was not worth making a fuss about.
No one would know that he was an Animagus, and his real identity was actually Sirius Blake.
Elwyn had no objections to this, as long as Sirius did not cause any trouble.
Time passed quickly, and it was February. The atmosphere in the castle became tense and excited again.
Everyone was looking forward to the second round of the competition, which was about to start on the last Saturday. They were all discussing the content of the competition.
Elwyn was ready. Compared to before, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had improved greatly.
During this period of time, the four of them had been practicing their spells and looking for empty classrooms.
Professor Meg kept seeing them practicing in the school. Therefore, she allowed them to use the Transfiguration classroom during lunch time.
Elwyn was practicing the magic he had already mastered, and he picked a few practical black magic to learn.
As for the knowledge of alchemy, ancient magic, and demons, he decided to put them aside for the time being. He would study them after the current event.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione learned common black magic defensive techniques. Among the three of them, Hermione's learning speed was the fastest.
Whether it was the Crushing Spell, the Armor Spell, the Barrier Spell or other magic spells, Hermione could always be the first to master them after a few practices. However, her weakness was that she could not flexibly use all kinds of spells to fight, which was Harry's strength.
Although his learning speed was a little slow, Harry was very flexible, and his comprehensive use of various spells was the strongest.
Needless to say, he was very talented in combat and could use the most suitable magic at the most suitable time to solve the problem.
Among the three of them, Ron was the stupidest. He had no willpower and wanted to give up again and again.
If it wasn't for Hermione's strict supervision, he might have stopped practicing!
Fortunately, he could keep up with the progress in the end, and not be too far behind.
Now, they would go to Hagrid's cabin every night to receive special guidance from Sirius, which was much faster than practicing according to the magic books. Sirius knew more than Elwyn about many magic and combat techniques.
At around eight o 'clock at night, Sirius would send everyone back to the castle.
Next, it was time for him to act freely.
Although Sirius had repeatedly promised that he would not cause trouble, Elwyn could be sure that he had snuck onto Demstrong's ship and entered Kakarov's office more than once in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, he knew his limits and did not get too close to Barty Crouch Jr.
On the day before the competition, Elwyn decided to swap identities with Gabriel.
Foggy and Bargman would arrive at Hogwarts later, and the preparations for the second round could start at any time.
As the most important people to the warriors, they would be gathered together a day in advance.
The warriors did not know about the entire process. According to the rules, they were not supposed to know the specifics of the competition in advance.
After breakfast, Elwyn and Hermione left the castle together and went to Gabriel's place.
After knowing the whole plan, Hermione was very worried, but in the end, she still bravely supported Elwyn.
She helped Elwyn review the plan again and fixed some details.
To be honest, because he was afraid that Hermione would overthink things, Elwyn had not intended to tell her so much.
But Hermione was too smart. Combining the relevant information she had obtained before and the disappearance of Mr. Crouch not long ago, she deduced many things on her own. There was no way such things could be hidden from her.
Even if she did not know for now, she would be able to deduce it after the news of Lord Voldemort's return spread.
He might as well tell her everything openly. Hermione was much stronger than Elwyn had imagined.
"Elwyn, promise me that you will come back alive!" Hermione suddenly said as they walked across the lawn.
"Don't worry, when have I ever let you down?" Elwyn said and hugged Hermione tightly.
At the same time, in Boothbottom's carriage.
Gabriel was sitting on her bed anxiously, waiting. Her heart was pounding, and she was extremely nervous!
She had originally rejected Elwyn's suggestion to exchange identities, but she could not resist the joint persuasion of Elwyn and Hibiscus Chinensis, so she had to agree in the end.
She did not want Elwyn to risk his life, but Elwyn seemed to have other difficulties.
Moreover, it was indeed scary to go into the deep lake, but she could exchange identities with Elwyn.
Hearing footsteps outside the room, she hurriedly stood up.
"Good morning, Gabriel!"
Under Hibiscus Chinensis's guidance, Elwyn and Hermione entered Gabriel's room one by one. Hermione was the last to close the door.
In this small room, the four of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Gabriel's room was next to her sister, Hibiscus Chinensis. The room was slightly smaller, and the decoration style was similar.
However, it was more cute, and there were many girl's products and dolls.
"Good morning!" Gabrielle said softly, her face blushing uncontrollably.
When she met Elwyn's gaze, she quickly looked away.
"Well, what should we do now?" Hibiscus Chinensis said directly. "You two better hurry up!"
"Well, this is a compound decoction. It has been prepared. As long as you put your hair into it, you can change into the other person's appearance after taking it. It can last for about an hour each time. " As Elwyn spoke, he took out two bottles. He handed one of them to Hermione. "I have prepared this bottle, and it has my hair in it. Gabriel, pull out some of your hair and give it to me. "
Hearing his words, Gabriel hurriedly reached out to the top of her head, and pulled out a few strands.
"Well, just put it inside!" Elwyn walked over and uncorked the bottle.
