Chapter 565 Maze



After leaving Hagrid's enclosure, everyone walked back talking and laughing.

When they arrived at the castle gate, a group of first-year students just walked out. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were probably going to take flying lessons.

Speaking of flying... This time of year is the most stressful time for every Quidditch player, because in preparation for the final game, the four teams want to use every second of free time to train.

There are always people on the court, it is never empty.

But now because of the Triwizard Tournament, the Quidditch game was cancelled. The busiest time of the year was suddenly idle, and Kyle was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Qiu was also having trouble adapting, but it was not because of the Quidditch match, but for another reason.

One weekend, she suddenly said mysteriously, "Have you noticed that there is one less ghost in the castle recently?"

"No way..." Fred squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I feel like all the ghosts are here."

"Nearly Headless Nick... Peeves..." George counted them one by one, "and Moaning Myrtle on the second floor. She is no longer content to stay in that small bathroom. I have seen her several times in other places."

"It's not them, it's the Ravenclaw ghost, Ms. Grey..."

Qiu said, "He used to show up in our common room every day at six o'clock and stand in front of a statue in a daze, but recently he hasn't come once."

"I see." Fred nodded, but he was not very interested in this topic. He just said perfunctorily: "Maybe Ms. Grey doesn't want to go."

“Like Nearly Headless Nick,” George added. “He used to like being in the tower, but in recent years he prefers to be around the lobby where there are more people.”

"No, we have looked everywhere, and there is no Lady Grey in the entire castle."

Qiu shook his head. "Do you think ghosts can disappear out of thin air?"

"In theory, yes." Cedric said seriously, "But as far as I know, this has never happened once. According to the records in "Hogwarts, A History of the School", these ghosts have existed for hundreds of years, and there is not a single one missing now."

While they were talking, Kyle just listened silently beside them without saying a word.

He knew where Ms. Grey was.

The Room of Requirement, where she had been staying since the Easter holidays, along with the Tiara.

But because he promised the other party to keep it confidential, he couldn't tell anyone else.

Fortunately, Qiu didn't care too much about it. He was just a little curious because he suddenly couldn't see the ghosts from his own college.

It wasn't long before their conversation turned to the final event of the Triwizard Tournament.

Everyone is curious about what the final event will be and how they will select the champion.

Kyle really had no idea about this. The only thing he could guess was that a hippogriff would appear in the game.

After the holidays, the weather became warmer and everyone changed out of their thick robes.

This went on until the last week of May, when Professor McGonagall kept Kyle after the Transfiguration class.

"You will be on the Quidditch pitch at nine tonight," said Professor McGonagall. "Mr. Bagman will be there to tell the warriors what the third event is... Come on." She gave a rare smile.

So, at 8:30 that evening, Kyle left the Hufflepuff common room on time.

"I said, why do you want to follow?"

Kyle suddenly spoke as if to himself as he walked down the deserted hallway.

"Of course it's out of curiosity." Fred's voice came from the side...or it could be George's.

Their voices were more similar than their looks, and without being able to see their faces, even Kyle had a hard time telling who was speaking.

There was a wave in the air, but it disappeared immediately.

"Oh, Cedric, you stepped on me."

"Not me, I'm over here..." Cedric's voice came from the other side of Kyle.

"Fred, you did a great job!"

"Hey, I didn't mean it."

As they were walking through the foyer, Ms. Maxime happened to be walking over from the other side of the venue with Fleur.

Fred and the others immediately quieted down and stopped following Kyle.

"What do you think it could be?" Fleur suddenly said as the two walked together in the cloudy night, "I think it should be an underground tunnel. We are going to look for treasure."

Ms. Maxime glanced over here, as if she wanted to stop it, but in the end she said nothing. She just quickened her pace and walked in front.

"That's easy," Kyle said. "Maybe we can borrow a few Nifflers from Hagrid and let them do the work. Those little guys might even be able to dig out the Triwizard Tournament trophy."

They walked along the dark grass towards the Quidditch pitch and then through the passageway onto the pitch.

"Oh, this is magnificent."

The court was no longer flat, and someone had built countless intricate, winding hedge walls here.

Bagman walked over from the middle of the court, talking to Dumbledore. Not far away were Chris and Barty Crouch, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, poor old Batty, that investigation took a toll on him."

When Kyle and Fleur walked over, they heard Bagman whispering to Dumbledore, "He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but we think he has made a lot of efforts for the Triwizard Tournament before, so he should still participate.

“Of course, the referee will not change, to be honest, he is not in a good condition to give a score.

"Oh, hello." At this time, he also saw the two people coming over, and quickly changed the subject and said, "How is it, do you think the progress is good, right?

"In another month, Hagrid will make them twelve feet tall... oh, and Krum is here too."

Bagman's tone became much more cheerful.

"Well, I think you can probably guess what we're going to do here."

“A maze,” Kyle said.

"That's exactly right," Bagman said. "The Triwizard Tournament trophy is in the center of the maze. Whoever touches it first will be the champion... simple and clear, isn't it?"

Bagman said cheerfully, "There will be lots of obstacles in the maze. Hagrid has provided a lot of magical animals, Pomona has provided a lot of plants, and there are some spells that must be broken... things like that. It should be fun."

"Wait, whoever gets the trophy is the champion?" Krum asked gruffly, "What about our previous scores? Are they useless?"

"Of course not. The warrior with the highest score can enter the maze first." Bagman smiled at Kyle, "Mr. Krum, you are the second one, and the last one is Miss Delacour.

"Of course, the lead is only temporary. Whether you can finally win the Triwizard Tournament trophy depends on your ability to overcome obstacles...

Well, if there are no further questions, let's go back to the castle...it's getting a bit cold here."
