Chapter 341 Patch
It was still Professor McGonagall who led the warriors into the venue. They did not go to the Quidditch field where the maze was located first, but went to the audience seats first to meet and hug their relatives and say a brief farewell with a sense of ceremony.
As for Fleur, after her identity as a warrior was confirmed, her family in France took care of some follow-up work and finally arrived at Hogwarts to accompany Fleur to the competition.
Fleur's younger sister Gabrielle was wearing a pink and purple wizard robe, which was light and slightly puffy as if there were bubbles inside, making the seven or eight-year-old girl look even more beautiful.
She embraced her sister joyfully and kissed the cheek of the warrior sister who was about to compete. Fleur smiled and hugged her, while she chatted happily in French with another silver-haired woman who looked like their mother.
Dumbledore's whole family joined the battle, but this part was also included.
Dumbledore was reluctant to allow Aberforth to come - of course, if Aberforth came he would only laugh at him loudly and swear at Grindelwald in a rude voice.
The one who came was Grindelwald's great aunt Bathilda.
The old witch, who had been growing younger and younger recently, smiled and gave them warm hugs one by one. She obviously thought it was quite interesting to see these two over-age warriors and her juniors participating in this kind of competition.
There is really nothing much to tell the two adults.
Bathilda wanted to give Alison some advice, but when she thought about the fact that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were also participating in the competition, she didn't have much to say.
In the end, she just went to find her old friends, eating the desserts and snacks she brought with her while preparing to watch the game.
The referee also has to announce the rules here, because not only for the warriors to hear, but also for the audience to hear.
Bagman stepped forward and, using a "booming voice," began to announce the rules of the contest in a thunderous voice.
"For the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, we have prepared a hedge maze. Monsters of various dangerous levels are placed in the maze, and the warriors are allowed to use methods including 'killing' to pass through. Of course, the maze itself is not allowed to be destroyed by 'fierce fire' or other means. Violators will be given zero points!"
After he finished applying these patches, he looked at the two destruction kings, Grindelwald and Alison, very warily.
Dumbledore gave the two Grindelwald bastards an equally warning look.
"To enter the maze, the warriors need to reach the center of the maze first - there are four portkeys there. The warriors must complete the tasks corresponding to the portkeys, then use the portkeys to return to the center of the maze and continue to move in our current direction: north, to reach the judges."
The warriors' reaction was mediocre, except for Dumbledore who was a little stressed out by the combination of the Portkey and the Triwizard Tournament.
Tom is no longer around, and there are no normal Hogwarts kids competing now.
...Not at all. Not at all likely to be teleported to a cemetery in some remote village and then cast a resurrection spell of flesh and blood and bones.
"The other portkey projects are confidential, but the most dangerous ones need to be clearly understood. The Crown Pass has the highest bonus points, and of course, it is also the most dangerous. It leads to the enclosed island of Dria at the northernmost tip of Scotland. Some of you may not have heard of it, so let me introduce it to you. It is a legendary 5X-level dangerous creature that was born from the abuse of Transfiguration on the human body. They are carnivores and have a special liking for humans."
"The Ministry of Magic has been trying to recover them, but the quintuples are mute, completely self-conscious of their monstrous identity, and have steadfastly resisted all attempts by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to capture samples and try to restore them to their original form."
Having said that, Bagman paused and saw that many of the little wizards around him had turned pale and lifeless.
"So far, we have been working on this for more than two hundred years. This means that even if we do restore them—if they are really transformed from wizards as the legend says—we will probably only get wizards whose lifespans have come to an end."
"So now the Ministry of Magic has decided to give up the attempt and lift the danger. The warrior who challenges the crown needs to kill all the five-legged monsters on the island - this is a play-off that tests the strength and courage of the warrior the most."
There was an uproar.
Some people knew that they would have to deal with a lot of magical beasts in this level, so they borrowed books from the library or brought the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Now they turned to the corresponding page and passed it around.
There are also lifelike illustrations on it.
The pentapedon's body lies close to the ground and is covered in thick reddish-brown hair, which also covers its five legs, each of which ends in a deformed foot.
The little wizards looked at the introduction above and were so scared that they couldn't cheer at all.
The adults were able to remain calm, after all, they knew that it was the Dumbledore family that had to face such a difficult situation. Even the youngest Miss Grindelwald should be able to deal with those monsters easily.
As for Miss Delacour...
This definitely has nothing to do with her! Is she going to feed the five-legged monster with the French poodle?
"Let's review the scores from the last game. Professor Dumbledore scored 50 points, Professor Grindelwald and Miss Delacour both scored 49 points, and Miss Grindelwald scored 48 points."
“Warriors need to complete the project as gracefully as possible - some small creatures in the maze are not deadly, but they are quite difficult to deal with - this will also be included in the scoring process, testing their knowledge of dealing with magical creatures.”
Bagman said a lot in one breath, then looked at the four strange warriors of different ages.
His eyes passed over the Dumbledore family, who didn't need to worry too much about safety (even if they did, it should be about the safety of the monsters they released), and looked at Fleur.
Of course, in order to avoid the French guest feeling belittled and offended, he was speaking to all the warriors.
"Hogwarts professors will be patrolling outside the maze. Aside from the Crown Portkey that leads to other places, the rest of the Portkey Playoffs are inside the maze, so if there is a call for help using a pyrotechnic spell to emit red sparks, the backup personnel will arrive soon."
Furong looked normal, but nodded slightly. She was very clear-headed about safety issues and did not stick her neck out arrogantly, but accepted the care.
After everything was explained, Bagman looked relaxed, looked at the professors waiting on the side, and nodded.
"Well, it's time for our warriors to set off. Don't forget to wish them good luck."
In addition to Professor McGonagall who served as the referee, the three deans and Professor Grubbly-Plank stepped forward, each leading a warrior to the entrances of the maze in different directions.
The one who took Alison with her was naturally her dean - although due to her frequent skipping of classes, he should be only an honorary dean - Professor Slughorn.
The old walrus was smiling, and at this moment he didn't seem depressed at all because he found out that Alison didn't go to class or attend his slug club meeting.
Come on! His student is a champion of the Triwizard Tournament! A champion of Slytherin! How proud!
