Chapter 288: Each Champion's Method
There was a sudden burst of noise from the audience.
It turned out that Professor Sprout happened to appear on the screen, and the little wizard of Hufflepuff's eyes widened.
Even Cedric was stunned when he saw it, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He respects Professor Sprout very much, so it's not wrong to say that Professor Sprout is his most dear treasure.
And the following figure made everyone laugh, and the laughter startled the countless birds in the Forbidden Forest nearby.
Harry also was stunned. "Why is my hostage Ron!? Why not Ginny?"
All male Champions' hostages are females, except for him.
In the stands, Ginny's face was also solemn.
Her opponents are not only those girls who covet Harry but also her own brother.
"Ron, don't force me to be cruel..."
Ginny's body exuded waves of invisible black mist, which made the little witches beside her tremble.
"Okay! You've got five minutes to get ready!"
After Ludo Bagman said the word, he sat down.
And the Champions also began to prepare.
Everyone cheated or relied on their efforts to know today's task, so they all came prepared.
Fleur took off her jacket, revealing her swimsuit, and Alvin's eyes lit up.
As expected of Fleur, wearing a swimsuit is so hot.
He quickly waved his wand, and a mass of holy light enveloped Fleur's figure. He didn't want other people to see such beautiful scenery.
Fleur smiled when she saw the holy light on her body and was happy that Alvin cared so much about her.
Blown a kiss to Alvin sitting on the referee's bench, and she would reward her fiance well when she returned.
Immediately, Fleur used a Human Transfiguration on herself, turning her lower body into a fish body, and casting a Bubble-Head Charm.
With an elegant leap, he entered the Black Lake like a Mermaid.
Krum and Fabien both use Human Transfiguration and want to transform themselves into sharks.
But the final result was not very successful, barely half the success.
They all turned into shark heads, which looked ugly, but they were enough to move underwater.
Ford of Ilvermorny gave a smug smile, and he cast the Summoning Charm, and soon a large box flew out from the car not far away.
When he took out the contents and put them on his body, many young wizards born in wizard families didn't know what it was.
"It's Scuba Equipment! Muggles use them to breathe freely in the water!"
Colin Creevey explained loudly that this was the solution to other people's confusion.
But they all booed, expressing their dissatisfaction with Ford.
The Champions should compete on their mastery of magic and the use of knowledge. This kind of trick is really not good.
"Headmaster Fontaine, your students really keep up with the times."
Karkaroff sprayed venom with his mouth, obviously very dissatisfied with this almost cheating behavior.
Although the other referees didn't say much, they had already decided that some points would be deducted when grading.
Fontaine's face was also ugly. Yesterday, he specifically asked Ford if he was ready, and Ford swore to reassure him.
Is this a shame to reassure him?
He didn't speak but looked at Cassandra, the hope of their school.
And Cassandra did not disappoint Fontaine. She took out a potion that could allow her to isolate water from her body for a certain period.
After drinking the potion in the bottle, Cassandra walked briskly into the Black Lake without even changing her robes.
The Black Lake also seemed to have encountered obstacles and avoided Cassandra one after another, keeping a slight distance from her.
Harry took a deep breath, took out the Gillyweed, poured it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
The strange smell almost made him vomit, but he restrained her by force.
Suddenly, there was a pain on the sides of his neck, and Harry quickly grabbed his throat with both hands and felt two long cracks.
After diving headlong into the water, Harry felt he could breathe freely, which was a wonderful feeling.
"Good! Our Champions have used all kinds of methods, and now they're all in the water!"
Bagman's voice echoed in this area, and he pointed to the projection with his finger, "At present, Miss Delacour is the most advanced. She has got rid of Grindylows and moved towards the deep water area."
Alvin stared at Fleur on the screen and shook his head.
This time, to prevent the Champions from taking other's hostages, all the hostages were divided into four groups, and the hostages of each school were in different directions.
And Fleur's current direction belongs to Ilvermorny's side.
Alvin looked at a girl on the screen who looked ordinary.
He paid more attention only because it was Cassandra's hostage.
After all, very few friends can be friends with Cassandra. Just now, Cassandra was a little anxious when she saw this girl appearing on the projection.
"Oh my god!" Bagman exclaimed, "Mr. Ford's Scuba Equipment was destroyed by a Giant Squid, which also means that his underwater activity time will be cut in half."
Seeing Ford's tragic situation, many little wizards applauded, this is the end of cheating.
Others were like headless flies. Only Cedric chose the right direction, which made people feel he was lucky.
But picking the right direction doesn't mean he'll be successful.
There are also many dangers in Black Lake. Grindylow is just an appetizer, and are many Giant Squids in Black Lake.
In addition, the very poor visibility is also a huge challenge, and all the Champions are constantly lighting their way with a Wand-Lighting Charm.
Even so, they could only see clearly the situation within ten meters ahead.
Alvin almost laughed when he watched Harry fight Grindylow, then the Giant Squid, and finally flee from the two Merpeople.
How bad is this luck that he has touched all three NPCs, and looking in Harry's direction, there should be a few Merpeople in front of him?
Alvin could only cheer for Harry silently for two seconds in his heart and then observe Fleur's condition.
