"Malfoy warriors of Hogwarts! Please dive into the water immediately and start the competition. Now the competition has officially begun." Bagman's loud and anxious voice echoed on the lake at this time, and also spread to the audience In the ears of the audience.
Krum and Fleur, who caught the eye just now, had already dived into the bottomless black lake, and Harry Potter followed closely behind, not to be outdone. Only then were the audience surprised to find out that Another warrior didn't go into the water. Not only that, he didn't even change into diving clothes. It seemed that he didn't plan to go into the water.
Malfoy stopped on the shore, walked back and forth slowly, and looked into the lake, but he didn't intend to go into the water at all.
"What's wrong with Draco?" Narcissa in the audience in the stands tugged at her husband's clothes, looking at her son's strange behavior in confusion.
"Maybe he has his own plans." Lucius coughed a few times, then shook his head in the same confusion, and cast a somewhat stern look at the man on the referee's bench—Ludo Bagman.
He guessed that maybe this man hadn't fulfilled his obligation to collect money to do things.
Perhaps because his intuition as a Quidditch player hasn't degenerated much, Bagman keenly noticed Lucius' questioning gaze not far away, turned his head, and briefly exchanged glances with Lucius, looking at the With indifferent and suspicious eyes, he could completely guess what this man was thinking.
But he also didn't know why he obviously missed the question for Malfoy, but now the boy showed a look of being caught off guard.
To be honest, he may be more eager to win this game than the Warriors themselves.
There is no doubt that Bagman will not easily give up the benefits that can be obtained easily due to the successive sweetness. Malfoy's excellent performance in the first game, coupled with his leaked information, he feels that he can have enough His confidence manipulated the outcome of the match, allowing Malfoy to win, and once again made a lot of money in the gambling game.
Unexpectedly, an incomprehensible accident still happened.
Bagman was sweating profusely, and the watch in his hand tightened his wrist uncomfortably, which made him feel uncomfortable. The flowing sweat soaked his cuffs, and an inexplicable slippery feeling made him inexplicably anxious stand up.
He got annoyed and pulled his black tie away.
"Maybe our warriors have encountered some problems, let me ask." Bagman took a deep breath, and then said to the referees at the table, "This is also to give the audience who support us a satisfactory Answer." He added, and quickly ran towards Malfoy who was still hovering on the shore.
At this time, the audience in the auditorium almost all started whispering, discussing Malfoy's weird behavior.
"Coward! I think he just doesn't dare." A Ravenclaw girl said bitterly, seeming to be dissatisfied with him.
It seems that Pansy's actions last time greatly hurt Malfoy's girlhood. This must be one of the victims of Pansy's poisonous tongue.
"What we see may not be real, because our eyes may deceive us at any time." A hazy, aria-like female voice came from the seat behind the girl.
"Oh, crazy girl? You still speak for him? Do you really think that after dancing with someone else, he will regard you as a friend?" The girl turned her head to look at Luna, stabbed her, and then immediately turned When she came back, she seemed unwilling to say another word to her.
At the Christmas ball, Luna was in the limelight, which seemed to make her popularity even worse. Most of the girls were jealous, and after the ball, some boys who wanted to strike up a conversation with her would be very quick. Some were persuaded by her thoughts that ordinary people often couldn't understand.
"Compared with extraordinary ingenuity, sometimes virtue can reflect a person's value." Luna said lightly, then closed her eyes, the eyelids covered her gray eyes, and seemed to start leaning against the chair. After taking a nap, there was a sweet smile on his slightly pale face, maybe it was because he dreamed of a horned snoring beast.
At this time, Bagman has rushed to Malfoy in a hurry.
He asked out of breath, "Why haven't you entered the water yet?" Then he leaned close to his ear: "Did you encounter any difficulties? Tell me, I can help you."
Malfoy looked around in a panic, shook his body, and then tried his best to calm himself down.
He responded to Bagman's previous sentence, but turned a deaf ear to the latter sentence: "The competition is just for us warriors to get back what we cherish the most. Is it expressly stipulated that we must dive into the water?" He said slowly .
"But if you don't go into the water, how can you get it back!" Bagman said with heavy breathing, which could also be said to be a growl. His temples were swollen even because of the current anxiety, and his veins were exposed.
"That's not something I need to explain." Malfoy squinted at him, and said leisurely, the nervousness seemed to have left him.
He is no longer as flustered as before.
Of course, Bagman, who was also nervous, didn't notice any abnormality in Malfoy from the beginning to the end.
"I see." Dumbledore's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingertips of his slender hands were tightly pressed together, placed on the golden tablecloth in front of him, watching everything that happened on the shore indifferently.
He pushed his half-moon-shaped lenses, and it seemed that the frames had loosened a bit. The lenses on the bridge of his nose were reflecting the faint light brought by the sun, and the sun had quietly protruded from the surrounding dark clouds.
The old man muttered to himself, he had probably guessed the truth of the matter.
Dumbledore's observation ability is quite strong, and among wizards, he is also a rare wizard with complete logic and full of wisdom.
Malfoy could clearly see some of Malfoy's little "feminine" movements just now, such as tapping his toes from time to time, looking at the ground or surroundings unconfidently, shaking his body with his hands behind his back, and so on.
This was completely different from the boy he had dealt with before.
Because the boy was so mature that it was frightening, his eyes often only showed confidence and determination, and he also had some undisguised ambitions, but he was not gloomy.
Obviously, there is only one answer. The identities of the hostage and the warrior were swapped before the game started.
Most of the other people are not familiar with the warrior himself, and another "hostage" is also staying under the water, which makes their strategy of deceiving the sky and crossing the sea successfully realized.
Of course, Dumbledore didn't intend to be troublesome, he still maintained a warm smile, turned his eyes away, and looked at the bottomless black lake with a smile, as if his sharp eyes could penetrate it.
