Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 248 The Second Competition

After Dobby left, Nydia looked at the time and saw that it was only about ten minutes before the start of the second project. She hoped that Dobby would be able to give Harry the gillyweed in time.

After leaving Snape's office, Nydia walked unhurriedly to the audience stand next to the Black Lake. The stands were already packed with people. If Draco hadn't left a seat for Nydia, she probably wouldn't have found one at all. No longer in position.

"I thought you didn't even come to watch the game in order to prove to me that you were not interested in Potter!" Draco said with a smile and took Nydia's hand.

"I almost forgot that today is the day of the competition, but fortunately Dobby reminded me." Nidia said.

"Dobby? Did you go to the kitchen early in the morning?" Draco asked curiously.

"No." Nydia told Draco what had just happened, but she did not elaborate on the reason why she went to Snape's office.

"So, in the end, you helped with Potter's second project." Draco revealed a hint of displeasure.

"This is just an accident, not really helpful." Nidia looked towards the referee's seat and found that Mr. Crouch's seat was supposed to be sitting, but now it was Percy. "Is Mr. Crouch still claiming to be ill?"

"I thought you would prefer that he not come, what? Are you not afraid of him now?" Draco remembered that Nydia was very happy when she knew that Mr. Crouch would not attend the Yule Ball.

"Well... I really don't particularly want to see him." Thinking of Mr. Crouch's serious face, Nidia was still a little nervous. "I'm just curious about why he pretended to be sick."

"Pretending to be sick? How do you know he's pretending to be sick?" Draco asked doubtfully.

Nydia lowered her voice, leaned close to Draco's ear, and whispered, "Harry saw on the Marauder's Map a few days ago that Mr. Crouch appeared in Snape's office in the middle of the night."

"Crouch went to Snape's office in the middle of the night. What did he want to do?" Draco was a little surprised.

"Who knows!" Nidia shrugged, and she also wanted to find out why.

"So you are here!" Michelle squeezed through the crowd and rushed over, "As soon as I woke up, you and Hermione were not there. I have been looking here for a long time and haven't seen any of you, not even Ron. I don’t even know where I went.”

"They...should have more important things to do now!" No one knows the specific content of the second project yet, so Nidia doesn't want to ruin Michelle's sense of surprise.

"Did I see Chretien? Isn't he with you?" Michel looked left and right.

"He might..."

"I'm here, and I've been looking for you for a long time." Before Nydia could finish her words, Chretien squeezed in from the side, with Ginny by his side.

"Have you seen Ron? I asked Seamus and Dean who share the same dormitory with them. They said that Harry and Ron did not return to the dormitory last night." Ginny said worriedly.

"Speaking of which, I'm not sure whether Hermione came back last night. She hadn't come back when I was sleeping. Nidia, have you seen her come back?" Michelle looked at Nidia.

"Well...you don't have to worry. They are fine. You will be able to see them soon." Nydia looked at Chretien, "I'm surprised to see you here."

"Why?" Chretien asked in confusion.

"It's nothing... you will know after the game is over," Nydia originally thought that Chrétien would be taken away as Fleur's most cherished person, because among the students from Beauxbatons, Fleur and Clay Tian's relationship is the best. Could it be that Fleur, like Krum, met someone she liked at Hogwarts? It couldn't be Roger Davis who danced with her at the ball!

"After the game?" Not only Chretien, but also everyone else looked at Nidia suspiciously.

"Stop looking at me, the game is about to start, look!" Nidia pointed in the direction of the warriors, and everyone's attention was successfully diverted by her.

Mr. Bagman loudly announced the start of the second project. A burst of cheers and applause broke out in the stands. The four warriors walked into the Black Lake step by step. Krum jumped into the water first. His movements were too fast. , Nydia failed to see clearly what measures he took. Both Cedric and Fleur used the Bubble Charm. This is indeed good, but they need to be careful not to burst the bubbles. In the end One was Harry. Nydia saw that he had stuffed the gillyweed into his mouth. He became the only warrior still left on the lake. He was waiting for his body to change, but the audience in the stands did not know it. What on earth was he doing? Many people mocked him.

"What is he doing?" Michelle said in confusion.

"Wait a minute, Harry must have his own plans." Before Nydia could explain, Ginny spoke first. Nydia looked at Ginny's firm expression and didn't say what she wanted to say. It was said out loud.

Finally, Harry jumped into the water, and there was another burst of cheers. After a few bubbles appeared on the lake, it calmed down, and the entire scene also calmed down.

"...So...what should we do now? We can't see what's going on down there!" Michelle complained. This may be the voice of most people at the scene! No one knows what is happening beneath the surface of the lake.

Nidia quietly looked at Moody who was standing by the lake. His expression was serious and his eyes were fixed on the lake. Nidia boldly guessed that maybe his magic eye could see what was happening under the lake. of things. Suddenly, Nidia's thoughts were interrupted by a flying beetle.

"Guess Moody..." Nydia was about to talk to Draco about Moody, but he quickly interrupted Nydia.

"Wait...Nitya..." Draco looked a little flustered.

"What's wrong?" Nydia looked at Draco in confusion.

"It's nothing...it's just..." Draco hesitated for a long time, until some movement appeared on the lake, which freed him, "Look! Someone is coming out."

Nidia turned around and saw Fleur emerging from the water in a panic. There was a commotion in the stands. Everyone didn't know what happened. Upon seeing this, Chretien quickly walked down from the stands to check on Fleur.

"She was empty-handed. It looks like she failed!" Michelle said.

Nidia nodded in agreement, "It seems so."

"She failed so quickly... I don't know what happened to Harry!" Ginny looked at the lake nervously.

"Don't worry! He'll be fine." Fleur obviously had to return to the surface because the bubble on her head burst, and Harry's gillweed was definitely enough to last him for an hour.

Time passed little by little, and the audience in the stands felt very anxious. Everyone knew nothing about what was happening under the lake. What were the warriors doing below, and what difficulties and problems were they facing? How did they cope? No one knew the answer. In the end, Cedric surfaced first and successfully rescued Ravenclaw's Qiu Zhang, followed closely by Krum, who successfully rescued Hermione.

"Hermione! It's actually Hermione!" Michelle exclaimed, "No wonder I haven't been able to see her!"

"So Ron is also at the bottom of the lake, right? The person Harry wants to save is Ron!" Ginny said.

When Michelle and Ginny saw Hermione being rescued, they immediately walked down the stands and walked towards Hermione. Nydia was about to go down with them, but Draco held her back.

"What's wrong?" Nydia turned to look at Draco in confusion.

"Nothing... stay here with me." Although Draco was talking to Nydia, his eyes fell on a small beetle following Michelle and the others.

"Draco! You are a little strange." Nydia looked at Draco with inquiring eyes.

"Really? I just..." Draco nervously wanted to explain.

"Are you still worried about Harry?" Nydia thought Draco was unhappy that she went down to find Harry. "Then I won't go. You can still watch it here."

Draco finally breathed a sigh of relief when Nydia didn't press any further.

Harry was the last of all the warriors to come out of the lake, but he not only rescued Ron, but also the little girl that Fleur was supposed to save (later learned through Chretien that this little girl was Fleur's sister) .) were also rescued together. Later, Dumbledore learned from the mermaid leader that Harry was actually the first to arrive at the hostage location, but he waited until he ensured that everyone was rescued before leaving. In order to praise Harry for this High moral character, although he exceeded it by a long time, in the end Harry got a very good score.
