, As soon as they entered the maze, the cheers like a tsunami outside were blocked, and they could no longer reach the ears of the warriors. It should be the effect of magic.
The tall hedges cast black shadows on the path, whether because of the height and density of the hedges, or because they were also enchanted.
Strangely, Bagman's whistle didn't seem to be blocked, and two minutes later, two equally urgent whistles came from behind Malfoy, which meant that all the warriors had entered the field .
In fact, there is another point that is very strange. Except for the first event, whether the audience is present is meaningless. Since the first event is held in the open air, they, as spectators, can still see clearly the direction of all the warriors, but the latter two , one in a bottomless black lake, and one in a labyrinth surrounded by high walls.
It seems that apart from yelling and cheering twice, it doesn't make any difference if you don't show up in person.
Well, maybe the warm atmosphere is a key reason. Even if they can't see the game clearly, they can feel the charm of the Triwizard Tournament to a certain extent.
Malfoy cautiously walked slowly along the path, and then found that four forked roads suddenly appeared in front of him by coincidence. He quickly selected the leftmost one, and then walked on that road, and then surprised What happened was that the entrance of the trail he had passed suddenly began to slip gradually, merging with the nearest entrance.
Soon, Fu Rong trotted a little panting all the way to the front of the three forked roads, and she decisively chose the rightmost one, because the right one seemed to be straighter, and there were some flowers and plants, which was more in line with her aesthetics.
What she didn't know was that at this moment, she had been cast with a spell of enchantment fixed on the path.
In the end, it was Harry Potter and Viktor Krum who appeared in front of the fork. Now there are only two left and one right in the fork.
"Which side do you choose?" Harry panted, bent over, put his hands on his knees, and asked Krum actively,
"Left." Krum replied, and then ran into the fork on the left. His face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he seemed to be in excellent physical fitness.
There was no movement in the maze, and the time passed quietly, and the outside audience waited anxiously.
It was only ten minutes before the game started.
"Whoosh, bang!" Two consecutive streaks of gorgeous fireworks shot out from the venue, and the directions seemed to be southwest and southeast respectively.
Bagman said with shock and regret: "It seems that this competition is much more difficult than we imagined. Which two warriors will be the first to be eliminated?"
The moment the fireworks shot into the sky, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick quickly entered the field at the same time, rescued the warriors who might be in danger, and quickly brought them back.
The first one to exit was Fleur Delacour. She was brought back to the venue by Professor McGonagall, but she didn't seem to be injured, except that her silver hair was slightly scattered on her forehead, and her face was a little pale.
"Are you all right? Fleur?" Madam Maxim didn't care about her school missing the championship at this time, but walked over quickly and looked at her students with concern. I'm afraid she has suffered some serious damage.
"Madame Maxim, I'm fine." Fu Rong said weakly, the battle just now seemed to have exhausted her physical strength and energy.
"I came across a battle doll that resembles an ancient alchemy product, and my charm magic can't do anything to it." Furong had a regretful face.
"Even so, I think I'd have a fight, if not for that weird, flaming creature."
It was said that Hagrid, who was sitting by the side, twisted his body unconsciously. As a special guest, he also stayed with the referees.
"Okay, it's all right." Madam Maxim comforted the girl in front of her, not noticing Hagrid's abnormality.
"Victor! What happened? How are you doing!" Suddenly Madam Maxim and Fleur felt the table in front of them shake violently, and it turned out that Karkaroff stood up.
At this time Flitwick was standing in front of Krum, leading him forward.
The robe on his body became tattered at this time, and a corner of his forehead seemed to be broken, and the blood flowed down his face, and then solidified on his face, showing an indescribably ferocious and terrifying appearance.
"Dumbledore, is this what you mean by timely rescue?" Karkaroff asked Dumbledore viciously.
"He's fine." Flitwick looked up at Karkaroff, and said in a shrill voice, "It just looks scary, I've treated his wound briefly, and now it's time to treat him more professionally." People are here."
"I'm fine, Mr. Karkaroff." Krum breathed heavily, waved his hands and said, and then Madam Pomfrey pushed him down on a chair. The head nurse raised the wand in his hand and started He chanted a spell on the wound on Krum's forehead, and then the somewhat scary narrow wound began to heal quickly and at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's just a skin injury." Madam Pomfrey breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the treatment, then turned her head and said to several referees.
"But you are not allowed to move around now." Madam Pomfrey immediately turned her head back, and said seriously to Krum who was trying to act, as if this warrior is now a student she can dispose of at will.
In her eyes, in the process of treatment, there should be no distinction between schools, and they should be treated equally.
"What happened inside?" Karkaroff had a chance to ask at this time.
"I was careless." Krum said with some frustration, "I really didn't expect that there would be everything in it. A monkey ran up to me, used its claws, and... it took my other The help fireworks on his waist were stolen." He said regretfully.
"It's just such a small wound, there's no way to stop me." Krum said in a vicious voice.
"Cough, cough..." Madam Maxim tried to suppress her laughter, but she couldn't. Karkaroff turned pale with anger, but he couldn't attack.
Looking at Krum's embarrassed appearance, he thought he had encountered something extremely dangerous.
"Okay, now maybe we can congratulate Hogwarts in advance for winning the Goblet of Fire." Bagman waved his hand and said to the audience excitedly.
"Not necessarily." Karkaroff said skeptically. "Maybe the whole army was wiped out." He speculated maliciously.
"Where are the Dumbledores?" He turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that Dumbledore behind him had disappeared.
"He must have gone to the bathroom," Percy guessed.
