Harry grinned and was about to say something when he heard Ron scream. He looked back and saw Ron rushing out of the bushes with his face covered. Behind him were two furry balls of thorns, cloaked squirrels. They only showed their feet and noses. They jumped high and smashed into Ron's back. Ron screamed again.

"Petrified!"

"Dropped!"

Harry and Hermione cast spells at the same time, and the two cloaked mice were hit.

"What happened to him?" Cedric looked at Ron in confusion, and Ron groaned in pain.

"He was slapped twice by the tail of the cloaked mouse." Hermione said, reaching into her pocket and rummaging for a long time before taking out a bottle of potion.

"You have some small thorns on your body... You need to remove them first. I don't know if it will hurt--" Hermione pulled a small thorn from Ron's neck.

Ron screamed loudly.

"Hold on..." Hermione's fingers trembled as she pulled out another spike. Ron screamed even louder. She looked at Harry at a loss, and Harry walked over.

"I'll help too." Cedric picked up his wand and stood up.

"Wall Cup (trophy)." Ron said vaguely.

"What?" Harry asked in astonishment.

"I think he meant the trophy." Cedric said with a smile, "The trophy is flying!" He pointed at the trophy in the distance, and the trophy immediately flew into his hands. He looked at it with mixed feelings and handed it to Harry reluctantly.

Harry hesitated for a moment.

"Take it, you deserve it." Cedric said.

Harry took it, thought seriously for two seconds, and said to him: "You are a good opponent."

Cedric laughed happily, "You too, Harry."

Hermione was busy on the side, and now she said impatiently, "You two, can you help us - we are still in the game. It's been so long, why haven't the others come yet?"

Cedric touched his nose awkwardly.

"Well, I guess they were trapped by the puff grass..."

"What?" Ron said with a big tongue.

Cedric explained: "Roger and I met on the fourth floor, and then we found Collins on the fifth floor, so we acted together. There were strange terrains everywhere on that floor-" Harry nodded, they also met several.

"When we were about to reach the entrance to the next floor, we accidentally broke into the territory of the puff grass. This magical creature has no blood or bones. At first glance, it looks like a large ball of fluff, and it can split at will... But this is actually a misunderstanding. They like to live in groups and often roll into a ball in a large group. It is said that they are close relatives of the cattail. They are like plants. Wherever the wind blows, they roll there. The way they hunt is to wait for the prey to take the bait. Once other creatures approach, they will make their hair grow and swell rapidly, wrapping you in the fluff. The more you scream, the tighter it will be..."

"So Collins and Roger are trapped?" Harry saw that Cedric was about to talk a lot, so he asked hurriedly.

"Only Roger," Cedric said, "We didn't take it seriously at first. Although the fluff of the puff grass is extremely tough, as long as you don't struggle or make noise, the fluff will not continue to shrink. This is somewhat similar to the Devil's Snare..."

"There must have been an accident in the middle." Harry said confidently.

"Yeah," Cedric sighed, "In fact, if you are willing to spend some time to stroke its fur, it will calm down. But two other people from Vagado came over, one turned into an elephant, and the other sat on it, stomping the floor loudly... Collins went forward to persuade them to stop, but they didn't listen, because there was barely a passage for people to pass through, and they thought we were deliberately blocking them..." "

...Their suspicion was justified, and the singing of the trophy made everyone anxious..."

Harry could already imagine the scene at that time.

"They were naturally trapped, and because they struggled too hard, some fluff was blown everywhere, filling the nearby corridors, and all the necessary roads were blocked. Collins and I were forced to separate, Collins stroked the fluff at the other end, and I came to the sixth floor..."

So, now all the warriors except them are stroking the fluff? Harry imagined this scene and found it extremely weird.

After a while, the thorns on Ron's body were pulled out, and Hermione applied potion on his face, and the wound healed quickly. During this time, the trophy sang twice more without paying attention to anyone around, so Harry had to put it aside temporarily.

...

"Then... see you later." Cedric said as he sat on the ground, leaning against a statue, with Nona Labbert and Krum sleeping next to him. Ron and Hermione held the trophy on the left and right, and as long as Harry put his hands on it, the function of the portkey would be activated.

Harry stopped and invited Cedric, "Why don't we go out together? The rules only require that a team must be gathered to activate the portkey, but there is no saying that other people cannot be added."

Cedric smiled and shook his head, "I want to wait for my teammates."

"Okay then." Harry said, he turned his head and looked at Ron and Hermione who were dirty all over. He guessed that he must be in a mess too, but they all had excited expressions on their faces, "Are you ready? The portkey tastes bad."

"Is this the last bit of hardship before receiving the award?" Ron asked with a smile.

Harry also grinned and put his hand on the trophy. It was as if a hook was pulled on his belly button. The seventh level of the maze disappeared in front of him. In the end, he only saw Cedric smiling and waving at them.

The game ended successfully. They won the championship. Harry now just wanted to have a good sleep. It would be best if he woke up to the summer vacation.

...

"Finally..." Felix said with emotion. He covered his hat and disappeared abruptly. When he appeared again, he was already on a dilapidated path and was in a remote village. Not far away from him, a small church stood in the dark. He could only see the outline of the church.

There were shadows in the distance.

"Is that the cemetery?"

"Yes, professor." Hermione said, hiding in the hat. Felix put his hand on the hat, bent down and let the hat turn over. Hermione jumped out carefully. She was still wearing a gold chain that was magnified more than ten times. The time converter was almost as tall as her. Under

the effect of the zoom spell, Hermione grew up little by little and returned to her original appearance.

"Here is your beaded bag." Felix took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Hermione. "The Zoom Charm still has an effect on this kind of magic items, and the Time Turner as well... let me think, oh, yes, there is also a ring." He took off the ring on his hand and handed it to Hermione. "

Keep it with you for now."

"Professor, do you really think the Ministry of Magic will do something to you? How dare they do that?"

"It's just to be prepared," Felix shrugged and said, "We are going to separate. You estimate the time yourself, use the Disillusionment Charm and those concealment spells to hide, and go when the time is right... You can do it, Miss Granger."

"Understood!"

Felix smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the cemetery.
