Krum's low score caused dissatisfaction among some Quidditch fans, but the four referees collectively gave him seven points. He was not Albert and did not have so many supporters. Also, there was nothing wrong with Bagman's explanation.
Krum destroyed that nest of dragon eggs, and dragon eggs are very precious, so it is normal to be deducted some points.
"Well, let us welcome the final Champion, the youngest Champion ever, Harry Potter from Hogwarts," Bagman shouted happily.
However, after Harry Potter entered the competition venue, the audience seats were filled with chaotic noise. Some spectators began to curse Harry with vicious words, and some even threw things towards the competition venue.
If Albert is the most popular warrior, then Harry is the least popular warrior.
"Oh my God, stop it," Bagman screamed, trying to stop people from throwing things at Harry.
"When did Potter become so unpopular?" Albert was somewhat surprised at the bad reputation of the savior.
"This matter is mainly related to Slytherin." Lee Jordan heard Albert's words and said helplessly, "Those guys deliberately aroused everyone's envy and jealousy of Harry. They also distributed "Harry Stinks Shit" badges to everyone for free. In fact, they also wanted to discredit you, but you had too many supporters, so they had to give up in the end."
When it comes to the changes at Hogwarts, no one knows it better than Lee Jordan, who loves to snoop around for gossip.
"Most people are not idiots who can't tell right from wrong." Albert really couldn't understand what those people were thinking. "Do they believe whatever others say?"
"You know what, there are quite a few people like that." Lee Jordan felt a little embarrassed when talking about this. He used to be like this, but after becoming friends with Albert, he began to learn to think about problems proactively. He knew very well that most students were just jealous of Harry and just followed everyone else to make trouble.
Most of the time, it was the Slytherin students who took the lead in causing trouble, including throwing things onto the field now, which was also their good deed.
I don't know whose boots fell at Harry Potter's feet with a "pop", and the playing field was suddenly shrouded in an inexplicable awkwardness.
"Slytherin students?" Albert murmured, "It's indeed their style. If it were me, I would probably hang the guy who made the badge up for two days!"
Katrina looked at Harry Potter holding his wand on the field, frowned and asked, "What is Potter doing, casting some kind of magic? It seems to have no effect. Is he too nervous that the magic fails?"
"It didn't fail. He must have used the Flying Spell just now."
"Flying Curse, how do you know that?" Several people around cast inquiring looks at Albert.
"Probably summoning his own flying broom. I've thought about using that tactic before." Albert scooped some popcorn from the paper cup and threw it into his mouth. He certainly wouldn't say that this was his idea for Harry.
"Then why don't you use it yourself?" Katrina asked curiously. She knew that Albert was also a very good seeker.
Albert gave up using the flying broom because he was worried that the Six-Star Sweeper would not fly fast enough. If he also had a Firebolt, he would not mind riding the flying broom to easily pass the fire dragon and get the golden egg.
"Harry Potter is flying on his broom!" Bagman shouted at the top of his lungs from the referee's seat. "As the youngest champion, Harry is undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to the other champions, but he makes up for it with his clever brain and plays to his strengths."
As Bagman was yelling, Harry easily dodged the breath of the Hungarian Horntail amidst everyone's exclamations and screams.
"My goodness, he flies beautifully!" Bagman shouted. "Did you see that, Mr. Krum?"
Above the playing field, Harry was implementing his plan step by step. He hovered over the Hungarian Horntail and threw a Stunning Spell at it. The Hungarian Horntail must be lured away from the nest, otherwise he would never be able to get close to the eggs.
The trick is to keep harassing it. The fire dragon has always had a bad temper and will definitely not be able to stand the provocation and will chase him. Then the opportunity will come.
The Hungarian Horntail was pushed too hard and opened its mouth to breathe towards Harry again, but Harry dodged it deftly again.
The dragon roared angrily and spread its wings to chase after Harry, but it didn't know it had been tricked.
When the Hungarian Horntail left its nest to chase Harry, Harry, who was riding on a Firebolt, took it for a spin in the sky. When the time was right, Harry suddenly accelerated and dived towards the dragon's nest.
As Harry flew over the nest, he successfully got the golden egg.
"Look!" Bagman yelled. "Look! Our youngest warrior has got the golden egg!"
The entire stadium suddenly became boiling with people shouting, screaming, clapping and cheering, the sound was deafening.
However, Harry was so overwhelmed with joy that he did not realize that the Hungarian Horntail was chasing him.
Seeing that the damn thief dared to steal its eggs, the Hungarian Hornet was extremely angry. Its dragon breath almost burned Harry to ashes and even almost ignited the branches of the Firebolt.
This time, Harry paid the price for his carelessness. Although he dodged the oncoming breath, he failed to avoid the Hungarian Horntail's tail. He and his broom were violently whipped away for a distance.
A long stinger from the Hungarian Horntail's tail pierced Harry's shoulder, soaking his robes with blood.
Harry felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but his legs still held the Firebolt tightly to prevent himself from falling. His ears were filled with the screams of the audience, and his mind was in a trance for a moment, and he accelerated again, shaking off the Hungarian Horntail that tried to attack again.
The dragon trainers have rushed over, trying to calm the Hornet's anger.
Harry looked at the Hungarian Horntail entangled by the dragon trainers, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to descend towards the entrance of the venue.
He still has lingering fears. The wound on his shoulder was very deep. If the wound was in... he was too careless, otherwise he would not have been injured.
However, I finally passed the first project and survived successfully.
After Harry landed smoothly on the ground, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, Sirius and Lupin hurried over to greet him.
"Okay, let's talk later. Potter needs to go to the first aid tent to find Madam Pomfrey now." Professor McGonagall interrupted what everyone was about to say and took Harry to the first aid tent.
The first aid tent was near the entrance to the venue. Madam Pomfrey was standing at the entrance of the tent. When she found that Harry was injured, she pulled him into the tent for treatment.
It took Madam Pomfrey only a few minutes to completely heal Harry's serious injuries. For a healer, ordinary injuries can be easily cured by using magic. The real trouble are those injuries caused by magic.
"You did it Harry," Sirius said to Harry as he walked into the medical tent, "It would have been better if you'd been more careful at the end."
"Okay Sirius, it's great that Harry can complete his first project." Lupin didn't have too many thoughts. For him, Harry's safety was more important.
"I did get carried away in the end." Harry carefully checked the healing of his wound and reflected on himself, "I should have been more careful."
"Harry, I'm so glad you're okay!"
Ron and Hermione hurried into the medical tent and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Harry was okay.
"Well, let's go and see your ratings." Sirius noticed Madam Pomfrey's gaze and smiled, motioning for everyone to go to the stands to see the final ratings.
"Harry, you had a chance to get full marks," Ron said regretfully, "but you got injured in the end, so I guess you'll lose some points."
"Anyone got full marks?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Albert got full marks," Hermione said with admiration, "It only took him a few minutes to easily subdue the dragon."
"Subdue the dragon?" Harry repeated.
"Literally." Sirius consoled, "You don't have to compete with him. That guy can't even be considered a student. He came to the Triwizard Tournament purely to bully others."
After they returned to the stands, Harry noticed that the people around him were looking at him with complicated eyes. He ignored others and looked towards the referee's seat, and found that Karkaroff was gone.
Perhaps noticing Harry's puzzled look, Hermione told him about the bad things Karkaroff had done and the chaos that had occurred before.
Harry couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was hard to imagine that someone could really lose face just to win. Karkaroff was kicked out of the referee's seat, it was purely his own fault.
Harry's final score was 45 points, Bagman gave 10 points, Dumbledore and Crouch gave 9 points, and Madame Maxime gave 8 points.
"I'm glad the first task has been completed successfully." Bagman cleared his throat and said, "Now, please go to the tent. I have something to say to you warriors."
"Bagman probably wants to talk about the second project."
Albert glanced at the golden egg in his hand. He remembered that this thing seemed to have to be in water in order to hear clearly the secret hidden in the golden egg.
"Then I'll go back first." Isobel kissed Albert on the cheek and said, "Your college will probably hold a celebration banquet, so you'd better not miss it."
"Let Bit deliver the photos to my dormitory." Albert reminded.
Looking at Albert's departing back, Isobel turned her head and said to Katrina, "Would you mind walking with me?"
"Something?" Katrina raised her eyebrows.
"It's been a while since we sisters had a good chat." Isobel gestured to Katrina to walk away and said.
Albert was unaware of the topic of the McDougal sisters' chat. When he arrived at the tent, everyone was already waiting for him inside.
"Now we're all here," said Ludo Bagman cheerfully. "I just have a few words to say."
"First of all, you all did a great job!"
"Also, the second project will start at 9:30 am on February 24th next year." Ludo Bagman took the golden egg from Albert and gave the warriors some hints. "Before that, you can rest for a long time, so we left you a riddle. As long as you solve the clue in the egg, you will know what the second project is and be prepared in advance!"
riddle
Harry looked at Albert suspiciously. He felt that this man didn't need to solve the puzzle at all. He just needed to look at his crystal ball to easily figure out what the second item was.
After Bagman signaled that they could leave, Krum did not leave immediately, but went straight to Albert.
"I'm sorry about Karkaroff's matter, but that's his personal opinion and can't represent Durmstrang." Krum directly put the problem on Karkaroff. "To be honest, many people don't understand how he became the headmaster."
"Well, you don't need to spend any more time trying to figure out the reason. Karkaroff will no longer be your headmaster soon," Albert said calmly.
Krum was a little dazed, not yet understanding what this meant.
When Albert walked out of the tent, only Sana was waiting for him outside.
Where are they
"I'm exchanging coins for everyone. Those three guys made a lot of money from this opportunity." Shanna said with a smile, "You look so handsome in this outfit."
"Thank you, let's go back!"
"Is that golden egg also part of the competition?" Sana asked curiously when she noticed the golden egg in Albert's hand.
"Yes, it's a riddle." Albert handed the golden egg to Shanna and said, "It's used to help the warriors pass the time."
“I bet the riddle is no problem for you.” Shannah made an opening gesture.
"At the celebration banquet tonight, a golden egg will definitely be opened, and then we will definitely be able to give everyone a surprise." Albert said meaningfully.
"It's a surprise. I'm looking forward to it." Shanna waited for the surprise that Albert had mentioned at the celebration party in the evening.
The golden egg is empty and there is nothing inside, but as soon as you open it, an extremely terrifying, sharp and piercing scream will come out from inside.
"Is this the surprise you mentioned?" Sana raised her glass unhappily and clinked it lightly with the glass in Albert's hand.
"Isn't that a surprise?" Albert joked with a smile.
"You knew it a long time ago?" Sana raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is that sound? Is it the ghost band playing?"
"That should be the song of the fishmen."
“The singing of the murlocs?” Zannah’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I bet no one would hire their singers.”
"That's not the point." Albert took a sip of butterbeer, looked at Hermione and asked, "What's wrong, Hermione?"
"The second project is in the water?" Hermione asked.
"To be precise, it should be in the lake," Albert corrected.
"You are very generous. I bet she will tell Potter this secret." Shanna reminded.
"Everyone is cheating anyway. Sooner or later they will figure out the secret of the golden egg." Albert didn't care. He actually let Hermione know on purpose. If possible, he didn't want little Barty to get the Marauder's Map.
