Chapter 287: Alvin the Kidnapper

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to hold the third task, and the students in the castle were also excited.

Harry was fidgeting at the Gryffindor table. He searched the library over the past few days and found ways to make wizards move underwater.

After screening, it was found that only a few of them could be used by him. The others either had material requirements or for high attainment of wizard spells.

In the end, he also chose Gillyweed as a last resort.

Snape was thrilled, handed the thing to him, and introduced the dosage and precautions in detail.

To cooperate with it, Harry took the risk of catching a cold to swim a few laps on the Black Lake these days. Although he was not proficient, he could finally control the direction of his swimming.

Logically speaking, everything is ready, and he shouldn't be so nervous.

But just like he is still nervous before exams, it's an instinct.

Harry subconsciously looked at Ravenclaw's table, wanting to ask Alvin for more information.

Well, he knows it's a bit shameful, but he's used to it, and being scolded by Alvin isn't a big deal.

It's a pity he didn't find Alvin's figure, so he could only sigh regretfully and eat the Oatmeal in front of him.

And what is Alvin doing?

He had come to Beauxbatons' carriage quietly without telling Fleur.

Today he is responsible for bringing the most important people of several Champions to Dumbledore.

After the people are all together, they will be resettled to the Black Lake.

Now he's here to pick up Gabrielle.

"Brother~!"

He didn't wait long when Madame Maxime appeared in front of him with Gabrielle.

The little girl jumped up when she saw him, and the twin ponytails swayed behind his head.

"Gabriel, don't be afraid. Fleur will go back to pick you up in a while."

Alvin greeted Madame Maxime and comforted the little girl.

Who knows that Gabrielle doesn't mean to be afraid at all. "Gabriel believes that my sister will definitely find me, so Gabriel is not afraid."

Seeing her like this, Alvin was relieved.

Then he went to pick up the hostages of several other Champions.

Krum's hostage is his dance partner, Padma Patil.

Because of Alvin, Krum does not have any thoughts about Hermione.

She was very excited when Alvin found her to express his intentions. Still, she did not expect to have the opportunity to show her face in addition to the Yule Ball.

Before leaving, Padma also put on makeup, saying that she must appear beautifully in front of everyone.

And Harry's hostage was still Ron. To avoid trouble, Alvin knocked Ron unconscious and took him away.

The last one he was in charge of was Cedric's hostage, and this time it was an accident because Cedric's hostage was...

"Professor Sprout???"

Looking at the smiling Head of Hufflepuff in front of him, Alvin's jaw almost dropped.

"You..." Alvin stammered. He didn't know what to say now.

"Why? I can't be a hostage?"

Sprout looked at Alvin and found it very interesting.

"What needs to be done? Do we have to duel, and then I will be defeated by you and taken away?"

Professor Sprout looked very excited, eager to fight him.

Alvin's cold sweat is about to come down, and He doesn't know who decides on the candidate. It's really too much to play.

"Don't bother. Just come with me, and Professor Dumbledore will take care of the rest."

When Professor Sprout heard that, she didn't mean to fight and shook his head regretfully. Alvin didn't expect that this Professor with a very good reputation would have such a lively side.

Along the way, the two also chatted a lot about herbalism. Professor Sprout was a little dissatisfied with the rare herbalism posts on the forum.

But Alvin can't do anything about it either. In the magical community, there are really few people who study Herbology. This is not something he can change.

After sending people to a special waiting room, Alvin entered Dumbledore's office.

"Professor, they have been brought to you. Would you like to check them out?"

After finishing speaking, Alvin always felt that this was strange. How could he feel like a kidnapper?

Dumbledore didn't feel anything wrong and nodded to him, "Thank you for your hard work, Gaunt. I will trouble you to take care of the safety of the hostages underwater."

There was a sense of alienation in words, and Alvin didn't care. He waved his hand and left the office.

The third task was at noon, which was also the referee's decision, considering that the weather was still a little cold. They deliberately chose it at the warmest time of the day.

Next to the Forbidden Forest, when the students were in class in the morning, the staff of the Ministry of Magic temporarily built an arc-shaped Auditorium.

At this time, many little wizards have come here, and the rows of seats are full of people.

Several live balls also float in the sky, forming a three-dimensional projection for the audience.

Harry and the other Champions walked towards a table covered with a golden tablecloth. Bagman acted as the host, beckoning them with a smile and pointing his wand to his throat.

"Sonorus!"

The eyes of the audience were focused on him, and everyone was curious about what the task was today.

"Listen, everyone, our Champions are in place, and in the morning, we have taken their most dear treasure, and the Champions have an hour to retrieve them from the Black Lake."

A projection appeared in the sky at the right time, and the audience could see the sleeping hostages being tied up by the Merpeople.

When Fleur saw Gabrielle in the picture, a worried look appeared on her face, and she wished she could go into the water to rescue her now.

"Don't worry, Fleur." Alvin comforted. "I have cast a spell on Gabriel. She will not be in any danger."

Fleur nodded. She naturally trusted Alvin very much.
