Chapter 236 Karkaroff
The final event of the competition was soon put on the agenda.
Jian Yu, yawning and with dark circles under his eyes, came to the Quidditch field to meet the warriors, but found that it had turned into a maze, surrounded by hedges. From the outside, only a twenty-foot-high dark green could be seen.
"Come on, Yu!", "Take first place and kill them!"...
Even though they knew they were about to watch another game in which they would not be able to see anything, the students' enthusiasm still ignited the scene.
Facing the cheers of Daphne and the other little snakes in the stands, Jian Yu thought regretfully that he might not be able to do as they wished.
She had already made a speed-pass plan. Just as she had thought before, after entering the maze for the required time, she would emit sparks and be carried out.
By then, Harry will definitely be able to display his skills and win the championship with the blessing of the protagonist's halo!
This can be considered as forcing an important step back in the plot of this book.
She looked at the warriors with satisfaction, smiling, but she found something wrong——
Her two friends at Hogwarts looked like two salted fish, one had been pickled and the other had been covered with salt.
Harry's face showed a big "sadness", and he looked unhappy; Cedric also looked quite tired, leaning against the hedge of the maze.
What happened to the two of them?
Is this because he didn't get enough sleep like her? Why do they all look as if their bodies are hollowed out?
Jian Yu showed a puzzled look, then turned his gaze to the other two.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. Krum, the brave warrior of Durmstrang, looks like an angry salted fish.
His face was extremely gloomy, his expression and posture showed his extreme unhappiness, and there was a low pressure around him, as if he could explode and hit someone at any time.
Only Furong looked in good spirits, but due to nervousness, her expression was not very good.
What happened to these few salted fish...what happened to these people?
Facing the obvious question in her eyes, Harry quickly answered her questions:
"Uh... Yu, although I think you don't care about these... after all, your grades... but for us..."
He looked even more depressed, exuding a decadent aura:
"Originally, Yuto didn't have to take the final exam... but now because the competition has been moved up... we have to..."
When Cedric mentioned this, his expression became very ugly. He smiled bitterly and said:
"As for those group assignments, Yuto could have extended the submission deadline to the end of the year... but now..."
"I don't want to complain, but I had to do my part yesterday... even though my members helped me a lot... but..."
Jian Yu's smile disappeared, and she joined the army of salted fish.
After being disturbed by the mermaids for several days, her sleep pattern and biological clock have not yet adjusted.
The news that she had to take the final exam and submit the group assignment early made her situation even worse.
A feeling of fatigue suddenly surged into her heart, making her want to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep on the spot.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the brave warriors on the field was filled with the feeling of worrying about the life and comfort of the dead.
"As for Krum..." Harry looked at him with some sympathy, and then whispered, "Principal Karkaroff suddenly ran away."
Although he tried his best to keep his voice low, Krum still caught it accurately and gave him a fierce look.
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Harry's forehead. Thinking he was going to be beaten, he showed a fearless expression.
Seeing Krum's murderous expression and clenched fists, Jian Yu couldn't help but worry for him.
But to her surprise——
"That irresponsible man!" Krum growled, clenching and unclenching his fists. "He suddenly resigned due to illness, and left all the students in England before the Triwizard Tournament was even over!"
He didn't seem to be angry at all about being exposed. All his anger went directly to Karkaroff who was fleeing:
"The competition is missing a referee, and we have to sail back to Durmstrang by ourselves...even though he never did anything before and only let us work!"
His fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds, but his words were still straightforward:
"If he stood in front of me, I would definitely punch him!"
Jian Yu was a little surprised.
If she remembered correctly, Karkaroff was a former Death Eater?
He suddenly ran away claiming to be sick. Perhaps he noticed something unusual?
"Ahem." Bagman stood in front of the warriors with an embarrassed Minister Fudge, interrupting Krum's words, "Due to a small emergency, Headmaster Karkaroff handed the referee position to Minister Fudge."
Compared to the last time they met, Fudge looked thinner. The suit that originally wrapped his body tightly now had space for his limbs to move. His face was like a reef shrouded in dark clouds, with a look of sorrow, dullness and stubbornness.
He nodded casually, fiddling with his untied bow tie.
Several professors also came to their side. Jian Yu could sense the uneasiness on their faces. Professor McGonagall said:
"We'll be outside the maze, ten minutes after you enter...you can fire red sparks."
"We'll come in and help you, but that also means your race is over."
“We set up the trophy as a portkey, and when the first person touches the trophy, it teleports the winner back to the audience.”
It was difficult for Jian Yu to describe the expression on her face. Rather than encouragement, it was more like a hope that "I hope all this farce will end as soon as possible."
"It's better not to participate! You clearly know that we are facing such a danger!" Professor Moody's roar suddenly rang out. Due to being too nervous, his mental illness seemed to have relapsed. "At this juncture! Damn it! Why do we still want to hold the competition——"
Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick carried him away, one on each side, but his words cast a shadow of doubt on the hearts of the brave warriors present.
Jane Yu realized that perhaps something related to Voldemort happened somewhere she didn't know.
"Good luck to you," Bagman said hastily. "Jade Jane, you go in first."
"Oh, I almost forgot." He slapped his forehead, "Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to tell you that the fire spell is ineffective against hedges."
The warriors looked at each other in confusion.
They didn't understand why such a rule suddenly came.
Jian Yu, who was shot in the knee innocently, curled his lips.
How could he be so petty? Are you targeting her?
Besides, her goal is different from others!
Besides, she is not stupid. If she sets fire in a maze without a isolation zone, what if she and the other heroes are wiped out?
Is there any use for these extra rules?
