Homecoming from Hogwarts

Harry and Ron also climbed up the slope, and after some observation, they agreed with Hermione's speculation.

“So, now the situation is.”

Ron took out a grilled sausage from his backpack to replenish his energy.
"This unlucky team was eliminated?"

Hermione and Harry moved their lips, but neither spoke.

This is a very interesting question.

What are the consequences of being defeated by the hunting group?
When the Slytherin gang flew over their heads just now, Harry did not notice the other three warrior teams. This means that after being defeated, this team automatically lost the qualification to compete and was taken away. No!

Harry caught a glimpse of a lush green vine on the other side of the slope from the corner of his eye, and his green eyes flashed sharply.

“This team is still in the game.”

Harry pointed at the green vine and said,
"There are traces of trampling on it. After these two people were defeated, they were not teleported out of the arena. They are still on the field."

After encountering the pursuit group, the two men obviously became smarter. They left by stepping on a large area of ​​lush vines covering the ground, leaving no obvious flaws nearby.

But when Harry and the other two followed the same path to leave the sea of ​​vines, they immediately discovered two "freshly baked" footprints.

"Oh--"

Ron glanced at the footprints on the ground and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"It's Fleur and her teammates."

"How do you tell, Ron?"

Hermione looked at Ron in surprise.

Ron raised one foot and stepped on another hole next to the two footprints, then looked back at Hermione triumphantly.

Hermione understood immediately without further explanation.

There is a huge difference between the footprints of boys and girls. The footprints on the ground are much more delicate than Ron's.

With the tacit understanding among the three of them, there was no need to say much, and the three of them immediately ran after him.

No one knows what will happen next, so it is very important to maintain physical strength. The three people did not dare to chase too fast. They controlled the pace and kept up carefully.

On a rugged forest path, a girl jumped over a winding stream. When she turned around to wait for her teammates, her teammates were exhausted and failed to successfully cross the stream. Instead, they fell into the stream in a mess.
"Tryanah!"

Furong let out a small cry of surprise, quickly jumped into the pebbled stream and helped her teammate up.

The girl whom Fleur called Triana was a girl with light yellow hair and some brown freckles on her face.

The girl who fell into the water had her ponytail tied behind her head wet by the stream. When she raised her head from the stream, her brown eyes were tearful.
"First, young mandrakes, then a whole bunch of them"

"Bred by the gamekeeper at Hogwarts."

Furong's face was stained with mud. She blinked her tired blue eyes and explained to her teammates in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Yes, the blast-tailed skrewt!"

The girl left the stream with Furong's help. As soon as she got ashore, she shouted angrily,

"This is completely targeted. After the game, I will protest to the referee!"

"I already said, Triana—"

Although she was very tired, Furong still patiently explained again,

"Amosta won't target us or Durmstrang just because he wants Hogwarts to win the game. He is a proud wizard, or, you can understand it as having the demeanor of a strong man. Everything we encountered must have happened to the other three teams as well."

"You like him, Fleur."

Furong's teammates pointed this out sharply.
"So, you will think very well of him."

"If you can't remain objective, Triana, then I suggest you leave the game like Judy did. Anyway, I will stick to the end of the game."

Furong glared at Triana a little angrily and said.

Triana immediately stopped talking.

Those who can pass through the dark space set up by Amosita without suffering a mental breakdown usually have a tenacious character and will not give up unless all hope is lost.

"Time's up!" The two continued to move forward, but after two steps, the fluorescent light on the blackboard in their hands attracted Furong's attention. She screamed nervously and immediately held the board in front of her eyes.

At first glance, the two girls, who looked miserable, stopped breathing.

There were only three spots of light left on the board. In addition to the red cursor representing them, the other two cursors were at the border of the map last time. One of them was moving towards the center of the map in a straight line as they had expected, and was currently less than five squares away from them.

As for the other one, it was very strange that they did not choose to approach the center of the map, but instead detour along the border line.

“How come there are only three left?”

Triana said in doubt,
"If it's because of us"

"Do not."

Staring at the relative positions of the three light spots on the map, Furong's blue eyes flickered continuously.
"The red light dot representing us is still on the map. This proves my guess is correct. We have not been ruled out. The current situation--"

Hibiscus frowned slightly,

"Unless the team that was very close to us just now has completely lost its ability to move. It has already left the field, or..."

"Or what?"

Triana stared at Fleur who was lost in thought.

When her thoughts were distracted for a moment, the light on the map blackboard went out. The moment the darkness filled her vision, a possibility jumped into Furong's mind, which shocked her.

"Or maybe the team just now has already caught up with us, and their position light spots may overlap with ours?!"

Cuiana was stunned. Before she could say anything, the solemn voice behind her suddenly made her frightened.

"I think your guess makes sense."

Harry said with a serious expression.

As the two girls turned around, a shrill scream broke the silence of the jungle, and brilliant red lightning drove away the darkness of the forbidden forest!
Furong stared at the forked red lightning rapidly approaching her and falling to her side, while the hand holding the staff rose rapidly!
boom!
When the spell light hit the magic barrier of the Armor Spell and turned into beautiful stars in the sky, Furong's heart, which had risen to her throat, finally calmed down a little. But the moment her eyes caught sight of the boy jumping out from behind an elderberry tree, the pupils in Furong's blue eyes contracted to the extreme.

wrong!

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, two shouts came from behind Furong and Triana at the same time!
The two girls from Beauxbatons felt their bodies go numb, and then the wands in their hands were pulled away by a huge force.

"You could have taken their wands at once, Harry."

Ron jumped up and took Triana's wand. After landing, he smiled and said,

"But you must be a gentleman."

"Oh, I'm not like Malfoy, cough."

Remembering that he was being stared at by many people, he changed his words.
"Malfoy and I are not of the same style. I don't like sneak attacks."

Surrounded, and his wand was taken away.

Fleur's face suddenly turned pale. But just a second later, her face returned to normal, and she turned to Harry with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Oh, Harry, it's you."

Harry, who was approaching, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Fleur's intimate tone, but he tried hard to keep a straight face and not let himself recall the time he danced with Fleur.

After nodding to Fleur and the desperate-looking girl beside her, Harry said seriously,

"Hello, Fleur."

"I'm afraid we won't have time to catch up, Harry."

Hermione took a breath and pointed her wand steadily at the two girls in Beauxbatons.
"Well, I think you should know what we will ask for, right?"

"Oh, of course—"

Fleur's relaxed smile made Harry and the other two frown secretly, and her words in a relaxed tone made the three people's hearts sink to the bottom.
"Unfortunately, it's gone."

Fleur spread her hands with an innocent look on her face, and her words also reminded her teammates. The girl named Triana looked at Harry with a bit of gloating and said,
"You are a step too late. A good-looking but bad boy and his men stole our school badge."
