At the end of another semester, when other wizarding apprentices were struggling with exams, contestants like Malfoy who had "final exam immunity" met in the lounge with parents who were invited to watch the final battle - Malfoy He feels that the greatest value of participating in this bird feather competition lies in this. His performance has been declining in the past two years, and he really does not want to hand over the transcript to his father who demands "noble" everything.
Of course, Malfoy is not a real waste house either. Wuxin's studies are Wuxin's studies, and video games are indulging in video games. He came out of Yanan and knew the importance of power. So he will also accompany Astoria in some magical exercises that may not be used in Yanan, but are useful in the wizarding world: such as the obstacle spell, a kind of magic that can stop the opponent from advancing or slow it down; Such as the Clearing Charm, a spell that quickly clears solid obstacles; such as the Direction Charm, which makes the wand point due north.
Because his mother Narcissa was also present, his father Lucius was very easy to deal with. Malfoy casually kept his concept on the basis of the Death Eaters and always pointed out his new ideas. Lucius fooled past. The time was spent greeting Dad and all the dignitaries until the end of the last exam, which meant that the fifth trial of the Triwizard Tournament was about to begin, and Malfoy carried the magic attack he brought back from Yanan on his back. The shield of the lake, carrying the Moonlight Greatsword, which is relatively suitable for use in a narrow environment, followed the large army to the arena on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Given Slytherin's timeless arrogance, Malfoy and the others were the last to arrive at the arena, which was already full of spectators, the arena filled with their excited shouts and the rumble of their feet on the floor.
The final trial consists of ten labyrinths, each of which Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang send a team to enter. Composed of vines and foggy roads, they travel through a labyrinth with many traps and curses, and fight with the principle of not harming their lives.
"Astoria, you usually see this kind of dark and creepy passage. Don't go in. In all likelihood, nothing will be good... Yanan's experience tells me so." I don't know if it's because of the semester The end is about to end, and Liz is going to catch Yanan to fight the monsters. At this moment, all Malfoy's mind replays is the channel in Yanan that makes him horrified.
"I wish you the best of luck in advance, Mr. Malfoy, Miss Greengrass." Minister of Magic Fudge, who descended the steps to the ground, laughed.
"Thank you for your congratulations, Mr. Fudge," Malfoy responded with a smile, neither feeling nervous nor feeling that he was going to roll over, "... After the award ceremony, Professor Leeds has made arrangements for the championship prize. , Mr. Fudge, please prepare yourself mentally."
"Please rest assured, we will definitely cooperate with Professor Leeds' arrangements." Fudge said in a dog-legged manner, but he immediately asked in a low voice, "...Speaking of which, where is Professor Leeds now? I have a lot of things I want to ask. he."
The bonus for the first place has been arranged, but what about the bonus for the second, third, fourth and fifth? If Leeds doesn't care, the Ministry of Magic will have to do something, and Fudge will have to do something for his own vault.
"?" Malfoy turned his head in confusion, and sure enough, the referee's seat belonged to Leeds, and now there is only a vampire Loli licking a blood-red popsicle, and Menfan wearing a green cheongsam is also beside him, but it is cold The head maid was also missing.
"Who knows... Anyway, he's not doing something at the last minute of the Triwizard Tournament, I think he's changed." Malfoy rolled his eyes and said.
"Cough." Fudge coughed dryly, and when he didn't hear it, he would never provoke Leeds if he didn't, "The inspector patrolling outside the maze is already in place, I'm going to speak—see you later, Malfoy gentlemen."
Malfoy heard the pun too: "See you later, Mr. Fudge."
As soon as Cornelius Fudge ran onto the stage, he pointed his wand to his throat and shouted "loud voice", his voice immediately amplified and resounded throughout the audience.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the final round of this cup competition is about to begin! Let me tell you the rules of this round first. Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang each sent a team to each A maze where three groups compete against each other. Those who remain conscious after the one-hour time limit are awarded 25 points; 25 points for each group of opponents knocked down; If you want to get 100 points, you must knock down your opponent, otherwise you will get 50 points at most."
"For the safety of the players, all traps and curses in the maze are non-lethal, and we also prohibit players from causing casualties during competition! If there is an abnormal situation, please launch lighting magic into the sky, and the staff will immediately rescue them!" Fudge The most worrying thing is that there is a safety accident, and the Ministry of Magic will take the blame. "Due to time constraints, we have completed the lottery process earlier, and now we have to ask the contestants to reach the corresponding maze. Please note that each maze has three entrances. , don't go wrong."
Malfoy pulled Astoria, whose palms were sweating nervously, to the corresponding maze entrance, but—what about their opponent
"... This group of students was injured accidentally during training, so they had no choice but to abstain." Karkaroff stood up and explained, and immediately sat back with a bad expression.
"It's a pity that they are suffering from a sudden illness and are unable to participate in the competition." Maxim also stood up to express his position. He also sat down immediately after speaking, and his expression was not very good-looking.
The place was embarrassing.
Except for a pure-blooded Muggle like Hermione's parents who were confused about it, everyone else knew what was going on.
- Cowardly.
Don't dare to enter the same maze as Malfoy, who cut down three adult dragons in the first trial and slashed his competitors fiercely in the second trial. It's that simple.
Karkaroff and Maxim want their students to compete, it's impossible for them to beat Malfoy, but if they are lucky, they don't get caught by Malfoy for an hour in the maze, Malfoy Only 50 points. Krum or Furong, who are assigned to other groups, score 100 points and win the championship directly! The score difference between the top few is not that much!
The problem is, those two groups of students don't want to fight for Krum and Fleur! They are human, but they are not human
"Cough, what a shameful news..." Fudge coughed dryly, which was the core reason why he congratulated Malfoy in advance, "Then—"
(Beep!!!) Fudge blows his whistle so hard that the contestants run into the maze, leaving only Malfoy and Astoria alone.
"In such a narrow passage, I'm still thinking about the top shield charging and slashing hard, and I wasted my time preparing the shield of the lake..." Malfoy shook his head and walked in slowly.
"Hee hee~ Draco? Are we still looking for the finish line?" Astoria had no reason to be nervous.
If you get 50 points at the start, even if you stand still, you will have 75 points after an hour, which is enough to win the championship.
