"Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince, we were distracted just now." Hermione, who still often came to the library to borrow books and had the most dealings with Mrs. Pince, was the first to react and quickly apologized, "We'll be leaving right away!"

As she spoke, she immediately took Harry and Ron and ran out, leaving only Mrs. Pince sorting out the large volume of books they left behind full of resentment.

……

On the other side, Hermione pulled Ron and Harry into the Gryffindor common room, one in each hand.

While running, she said hurriedly: "Hurry up, you two, maybe we still have a chance now."

"Give up, Hermione, we have no chance..." Ron let Hermione pull him, and said dejectedly, "Let Harry swim around the Black Lake for a while, and Professor Dracula will Get him out of the water."

"I'd better go to Hogsmeade to have a look. What if the herbal shop over there has gill grass?" Harry didn't give up on himself like Ron, but his expression was also not optimistic.

[The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms

"The match isn't over yet, and everything hasn't settled yet!" Hermione looked at the two of them sternly, and said loudly, "Cheer up, both of you, Harry still has a chance to succeed in tomorrow's match!"

"Have you thought of a way, Hermione?" Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, raising the last hope in his heart.

"Hmm." Hermione nodded emphatically, "There's no gill weed in the herbal shop in Hogsmeade, but it doesn't mean there's no other place!"

"what do you mean……"

"Gill grass is not only a tool to help people swim, but also a very precious potion material." Hermione said, "Let's go to Snape's potion storage room and look for it, we should find something of."

Ron and Harry's eyes widened in surprise.

They never imagined that Hermione, a top student who always abides by school rules and disciplines, would be the first to suggest the idea of ​​stealing things from the Potions professor...

"Hermione, are you really not infected by Fred and George for violating school rules?" Ron hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"It's just for Harry, just this once!" Hermione said sternly, glaring at Ron.

Then, she looked at Harry, "Harry, hurry up and go back to your dormitory to get your invisibility cloak. Let's go to Snape's office in the basement of the castle... Also, I think we still need a few helpers."

That night, Fred and George had a big operation in the corridors of the Hogwarts Castle Dungeon.

They first threw several big dung eggs at the door of the Slytherin common room, and then set off several exaggerated fireworks outside Snape's office door.

According to Fred and George, the two of them had wanted to do this for a long time.

Snape was so angry that he didn't sleep at night, and rushed out of the office in a rage, and he was bound to arrest the troublemakers who ignored them.

However, Fred and George had the advantage of the Marauder's Map, shuttled back and forth between the various secret passages in the castle, played around with Snape, and abruptly led him from the ground to the eighth floor of the main tower. Got caught once.

Meanwhile, the three young wizards, hiding in a wide invisibility cloak, sneaked into the castle dungeon while Snape was out to capture Fred and George.

"Alohora is open."

Hermione pointed her wand at the door lock of the potion material storage room, and muttered softly.

The door lock opened in response, Harry, Ron and Hermione pushed the door open and walked in. They saw countless potion ingredients and many experimental products soaked in jars, some of which were extremely strange. It looks very pervasive.

"Is it so easy to get in here?" Ron closed the door and asked suspiciously, "I thought Snape was very powerful, but I didn't expect his protective magic to be so bad."

"Maybe... he never thought that anyone would dare to sneak into his potion storage room?" Harry said uncertainly

Road.

Hermione frowned, staring at the wand that had just cast the Unlocking Charm.

"Why do I feel a little strange..." she whispered, "Snape's protective magic should not be so fragile, but I feel that it has been cracked, leaving only the most common door lock Leave it to me."

"Don't think so much, just come in." Ron said carelessly, "Instead of thinking about all these things, why not hurry up and help Harry find the gill grass!"

"Yeah, that's right." Hermione nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the three little wizards began to rummage through Snape's storage room for potion materials. According to the description in the book sent by Cedric, it would take a few hours to find Harry. Gill grass used.

"Harry isn't here yet?"

On the field of the Final Four, Bagman looked at his watch and asked worriedly.

"There is only one minute left before the start of the game, Dumbledore, the warriors in your school don't seem to be very happy to abide by the game time." Karkaroff said coldly.

"Don't worry, Professor Karkaroff, hasn't the match officially started yet?" Dumbledore responded calmly.

"But the other warriors have already prepared, and now everyone is waiting for him alone!" Karkaroff said unwillingly.

Just then, Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushed panting from the direction of the castle.

Ron and Hermione rushed to the audience seats, while Harry ran straight to where the other warriors were on the lake shore, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.

"I... I'm not late, am I?" Harry asked babbling.

"Where have you been?" A domineering voice suddenly rang out, "The race is about to start!"

Harry turned his head while panting, and saw Percy Weiss sitting at the referee's table, Mr. Crouch's seat——Mr. The assistant made an exception and became the judge of the semifinals.

Although Percy's voice and tone sounded domineering and dissatisfied, it also interrupted Karkaroff's next attack on Harry.

"Okay, okay, Percy!" Ludo Bagman waved his hand and stopped Percy, "Let him take a breath!"

When he saw Harry, it seemed that a stone in his heart fell to the ground. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth at first, but then he became a little worried.

He was worried that Harry rushed to the scene in such a hurry, whether he was unprepared or did not pay enough attention to this game...

In fact, the three of Harry attached great importance to this match.

They specially asked Fred and George for help yesterday, and arranged a fireworks show for Snape that seemed very logical. By the way, they gave the Slytherin students' lounge a big baptism with a big dung egg, which successfully attracted Snape. Nepe's attention even led him from the underground to the height of the eighth floor.

However, Snape's title of "Score Smasher" was not in vain after years of fighting against students.

Although Snape failed to capture Fred and George on the eighth floor of the castle, he quickly understood his plan and realized that these two troublemakers suddenly made such a big move today, they definitely had other plans.

So he quickly rushed down from the eighth floor and returned to his office at an extremely fast speed.

Fortunately, Harry, Ron and Hermione had found the gillsweed before he rushed down, and left the potion storage room in time.

They thought that Snape wouldn't find out so easily if they just took a gill weed from those potion collections.

However, Snape didn't know what kind of madness he had that day. After he came out of the potion storage room angrily, he rushed directly to the high place to block the door opening of the Gryffindor common room, and muttered something in his mouth. Inexplicable words:

"Lacewings, tree snakeskin, bicorn feet...I've known for a while that someone has been coming into my storage room, and that person is definitely making Polyjuice Potion...it must be you, Potter... "

The matter concerned his own potion ingredients, and Snape was surprisingly patient, waiting outside the Gryffindor common room until dawn.

As a warrior, Harry never dared to go back to his lounge. He could only wear the invisibility cloak and accompany Snape to endure the cold and hunger outside the door, but he couldn't go back to the dormitory to get his supplies.

Because of this, Harry didn't arrive at the venue until less than 1 minute before the start of the game.

……

In the referee's seat, Dumbledore and Professor Hicks smiled at Harry. Although Percy looked dissatisfied, the expression in his eyes was also relaxed with Harry's arrival.But Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim seemed very unhappy to see him... Judging from the expressions on their faces, they obviously thought he would not show up.

It seems that it is inconvenient to pick the thorns of a 14-year-old child, Ms. Maxim turned to point the finger at Dracula——

"Mr. Security Officer, I think you should have already understood that since today's game is played in the water." She said, "We can't see the specific content of the game at all, and it is difficult for the warriors to have a chance to send a distress signal... …So I was thinking, how do you find the opportunity to save the warriors from danger?"

When Dracula was mentioned suddenly, he glanced at Ms. Maxim in surprise.

Immediately, he said casually, "It's not that I can't see it, it's just that I'm not ready yet."

"Prepare?"

"Indeed, why do you think it's so complicated when you just need to do a little preparation?" Dracula said casually, "Look——"

I saw an old parchment flying out of Dracula's pocket. Dracula waved his hand and let the parchment go to the black lake.

From the perspective of Dracula's radiance, countless magic power nodes gathered together and continued to extend below the black lake.

The Hogwarts title deed was suddenly rendered with gloomy colors, which were fragments of light in the depths of the Black Lake.

The parchment suddenly swelled and became larger, and gradually filled the entire arena under the shocked and astonished eyes of the audience.

Afterwards, Dracula waved his magic palm and placed the parchment on the side of the arena where all spectators could easily see it, forming it into a huge projection, broadcasting what was happening under the Black Lake in real time.

"Do you still want to question me now, Ms. Maxim?" Dracula looked at her with a half-smile and said.

Ms. Maxim and Karkaroff both sighed deeply.

They felt that their chances of bringing down Hogwarts were getting slimmer.

……

On the playing field, Ludo Bagman had already come among the warriors and ordered them to line up on the bank with a distance of ten feet between each.

Harry was last in line, next to Krum.Krum, in a pair of swimming trunks and shirtless, has his wand out and ready.

"How is it, Harry?" Bagman led Harry a few steps forward, avoiding Krum, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what you're going to do?"

"Yes." Harry gasped, clutching the gillsweed in his pocket.

This is his lifeline.

"Very well, I wish you success, Harry." Bagman squeezed Harry's shoulder hard, and returned to the referee table.

Pointing his wand to his throat, he said, as he did in the Quidditch World Cup final, "Loud!" and his voice thundered across the dark lake to the stands.

"Listen, everyone, our warriors are in place. As soon as I whistle, the second project begins. They have a full hour to take back what was stolen from them. I count to three. One...two ……three!"

High-pitched whistles echoed in the cold, still air.There was a burst of cheers and applause from the stands.

Krum first used a crude body transformation to transform his head into a big shark, and then jumped into the black lake in February, not yet fully spring, in swimming trunks.

"Oh? Quite ingenious human body deformation. I didn't expect that Mr. Krum's level of deformation is not inferior to his flying ability!" Bagman said appreciatively, "I heard that Durmstrang's students are very resistant. It is freezing and can swim in the water in winter, so there is no problem with his choice of jumping directly into the cold water."

Furong cast a bubble head curse on herself, and then gracefully fell into the lake with a slim figure.

Harry glanced at Cedric, who was helping him with this project, and found that he also chose the Bubble Charm, but he also used some body deformation to make his hands and feet more suitable. swim.

Harry didn't have time to watch what the other warriors were doing. He just took off his shoes and socks twice, took out the gill grass from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and waded into the lake.

The lake in February had just melted ice, and it was bitingly cold. I felt the skin of my legs burning hot, as if it was on fire.

The further he walked, the deeper the lake was, and the drenched robe fell heavily.Now the lake is knee-deep, and two quickly numb feet step on the sand
