Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 581

"The highest score for each person is no more than ten..." Ludo Bagman continued to explain the scoring rules.

Harry squinted and looked at the judges, Crouch, Ludo Bagman and others were waving their wands and conjuring numbers for scoring.

The first referee was Madame Maxime,

Her wand was held high in the air, and a long silver ribbon-like thing sprayed from the wand, twisting and forming a big '9'.

"Oh, Madam Maxime scored such a high score because Harry gave up his golden eggs to other warriors and showed a noble character..." Bagman explained.

The other warriors applauded.

Next, Mr. Crouch, with a cold face, sprayed a '7' into the air in the same way.

Then, Qiao Guohua, the head of the Chinese wizards, also gave '9' points.

Dumbledore scored a '10'... Eiichi Akagi, Akinbad, Saeed Aha, Jessida Gray, Auguste Jean Torres, Egilbert Vonnett all scored one by one, mostly hovering between 6-9 points.

Only Karkaroff raised his wand, hesitated for a moment, and gave Harry a minimum score of '3'.

This guy gave Wilkdo Klum a '10'.

The score given by Karkaroff even made Bagman a little dumb. He paused for a moment before announcing Harry's score, "...well, well, remove the highest score of 10 and the lowest score of 3..."

"...Harry Potter scored 80."

"A good score, it seems that Harry's performance has conquered the other referees."

Harry didn't care how high or low the score was.

Generally speaking, his performance was not too embarrassing, even if he was qualified, he had fulfilled his original purpose.

The heavy burden in his heart was let go the moment Bagman announced that he had finished the game.

"Good job, Harry! I saw it all..." Charlie Weasley appeared on the platform at some point, and he came over to congratulate Harry for his good results in the first match.

And beside him is Professor McGonagall with a calm face.

His complexion was very bad, almost comparable to Snape's usual complexion.

Charlie patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Listen, Harry for the next month... You better not be imprisoned by Professor Snape again... You better tell Ron, McGuffin, and my two underachievers, George and Fred, about this."

"how??"

"I can't tell you too much about the details, but I can swear that the subsequent confinement punishment, even the confinement punishment for entering the Forbidden Forest, is quite pleasant."

As he spoke, Charlie pulled his face and looked down at the pool in the center of the platform.

Harry always felt that Charlie Weasley's eyes seemed to see through his feet, going straight to the bottom of this maze.

Soon, Ludo Bagman and the referees judged all the Warriors' scores.

As Harry expected, Chen Xiaolong was No.1, followed by Krum, and then Narnia Machu, Morita Chiko, Cedric Diggory...

He is No.6, followed by Fleur and Camilla.

Nasser, Mobutu, and Donald Donfork, the warriors who did not get the golden egg, scored the lowest.

Especially this guy Donald was punished by Egilbert Fonnert,

Every night, he has to clean this [Endless Labyrinth]... together with the professors and some Ministry of Magic employees.

Only after clearing all those fresh 'Fire Dragon Brand Gold Kela' can he end this punishment and restore his status as a warrior of Ilvermorny.

After announcing the completion of the first event of the 'Top Ten Tournament' and scoring the warriors, many referees have begun to leave here impatiently.

They waved their magic wands, and flew to the sky above the Moubis ring one by one, and jumped out of the black circle formed from above.

Dumbledore also started waving wands with Professor McGonagall, turning the armchairs one by one in place, screaming, and disappeared with a puff of white smoke. .

Then, Ludo Bagman briskly jumped in front of the warriors, and gathered them together, congratulating with a joyful look,
"Good job, you all..."

He was dumb for a moment, apparently seeing Donald Eastfork, who was suffering and hated deeply, and his face was full of disbelief.

Bagman's eyes immediately shifted away, and he continued reluctantly, "Okay, I only have a few words to tell you... The first project will start at 2:24 am on February 09 next year. Before that, you can rest and stretch for a while."

"However, as I told you before the start of the game: -- the golden egg contains important clues for the next game."

Bagman walked to Harry's side and pointed to the golden egg in his hand, "Do you see the gaps between the patterns of those golden eggs?"

"You can try to open it, and you can get important props and clues for the second game."

"Of course, the warriors who didn't get the golden egg don't need to worry. You will get the same thing in the venue of the second game, but it will waste some time. It will have a certain degree of impact on the second game..."

"And other warriors with golden eggs, in the next rest period, after finding clues, you can prepare in advance!"

"Is everything clear? Are there any questions? Is it gone? Well, you can follow me and leave... This way..."

Bagman and Professor McGonagall waved their wands together, and pulled the black and white stone ladder of the Moubis ring floating above the pool... to create a stone ladder passage for people to pass through.

Harry and the warriors followed Bagman through the stone steps and returned to the restricted section of the Hogwarts library.

As soon as he left the library with the golden egg in his arms, he ran into a guy he hated very much.

Severus Snape,
This guy was looking disgusted and wary... Walking side by side with a wizard with fake eyes.

Harry knew the wizard next to Snape, he'd seen the guy a few times.

— Moody!
What about him?

Harry recalled it now, as if McGuffin had mentioned to him that this former Auror seemed to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester.

This made him very happy immediately, even surpassing his mood when he finished the project competition.

The guy Snape had finally gotten out of his favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Next, McGuffin, Hagrid, Ron... many Gryffindor students gathered from the front of the corridor to congratulate him on completing his first project competition.

"Well done, Harry...we've all seen you!"

Ron, Hermione waved their arms and called Harry happily from afar.

What made Harry even more happy was that he saw the big black dog (Sirius) in front of Hagrid, and his godfather also came to watch the game together, which made him feel a warm current in his heart.

Even the two Klingway brothers approaching from behind and Rita Skeeter's questioning couldn't affect his good mood.

…………

That night, the Gryffindor common room was full of cheers and noise.

Everyone held a small celebration Paty for Harry.

Although Harry did not win very good results, everyone still congratulated Harry for his wonderful performance in the competition.

Tables and chairs were piled up with hill-like cakes, pots... cups of butter beer, pumpkin juice, and ice pear beer collided and splashed in everyone's hands, and then they were all gulped down.

Harry tried his best to avoid the entanglement of the Klingway brothers,

In the midst of this noise, McGuffin, Ron and the others came to a corner with fewer people, chatting non-stop while eating the dessert cake brought by the elf.

Harry really wanted to know what happened to them in the old classroom, and how other warriors behaved in [Endless Labyrinth].

And after all kinds of questioning, McGuffin finally revealed a little bit about what happened that night when he and Donald Eastfork went to the Fire Dragon Camp.

"You...Albert, you mean...my invisibility cloak was taken by that fire dragon's...that fire dragon's..."

Harry's eyes were dull, and he couldn't eat the cake hanging on his mouth. The original indescribable joy in his heart was almost instantly wiped out by the 'truth' revealed by McGuffin.

Looking at Harry's performance, McGuffin sighed inwardly.

'I know this is the case, why do I have to figure it out? '

Ron was also disgusted enough after hearing the 'truth' that McGuffin said.

"Albert, how could you... how could you..."

Ron didn't know how to describe it, so he could only complain angrily, "...you should have told us earlier, last time I wore that invisibility cloak and went to the kitchen to eat..."

Just at this moment, George, Fred took out some fireworks from nowhere and set them off.

For a moment, the common room was full of flickering stars and sparks, and the fireworks flew around in the air, forming various patterns.

Harry looked at this scene suspiciously, "George and Fred, where did they get so much money, I heard them complain that they don't have enough money to spend..."

Jordan Lee, who was on the side, heard this sentence and explained that the twin brothers made a fortune today. The two of them made a lot of money through the bet they set up during the game.

This interruption diverted Harry and Ron's attention.

The two of them were not entangled in the matter that McGuffin was hiding, but instead asked Jordan what happened?

"I also heard from others that there are many Slytherin and Hufflepuff students. It seems that at the beginning of the competition, Harry, you were eliminated from the very beginning. Even if you were not eliminated, you were in the last place. So all the expenses of today's party were spent by the two of them..."

As Jordan spoke, his eyes focused on the golden egg Harry had placed on the armchair.

After obtaining Harry's consent, Jordan held it high in the air as if showing off, and weighed it with both hands, "Harry, can I see what's inside?"

Harry nodded nonchalantly, "It's nothing, although there were some cracks on the surface of the golden egg at the beginning, it couldn't be opened, I've tried it..."

Jordan didn't believe it.

George, Fred, Dean and others also gathered around, and everyone wanted to join in the fun and see what was inside.

Only Hermione muttered that Harry should have solved the golden egg clue himself.

But obviously everyone didn't care.

"Then Harry, have I tried?"

Jordan and Dean pushed the cake aside on the table and carefully placed the golden egg on top.

The golden egg made a buzzing and vibrating sound, and the pattern on it slowly rotated according to a certain law. This thing seemed to be breathing, and it seemed that some gears inside were rolling and rotating.

"Well, if you could open it... thank you," said Harry.

"Excellent." Jordan rubbed his hands, and under the watchful eyes of a thousand people, he dug his fingers into the grooves on the top of the golden egg.

"Hi!"

Jordan pulled hard—

The egg is pried open a gap,
Just like cracking eggs, the golden egg was separated by Jordan with a gap two fingers wide,
Everyone poked their heads and saw... the inside of the golden egg is densely packed with gold pieces connected, and the layers... like lotus flowers, connected layer by layer, they can only see a green light coming out of the gap...

Then it was immediately closed and put away by the stretching force of the golden egg itself.

"What is this?" Dean pointed, and he also took it, wanting to try it.

Harry shook his head to show that he didn't know, and agreed with Dean that he wanted to see the action too.

Next, almost all the Gryffindor students checked it out.

They didn't know what was inside, and all of them became masters of solving puzzles.

"Maybe it's some kind of magic gemstone... I heard that in the ancient wizarding empire, those ancient wizards stored some kind of magic through magic gemstones."

"Impossible, that's just a legend..."

"Let me try!" George squeezed forward.

"Open Sesame."

"Quickly open!"

George swung his wand and tapped the golden egg, and uttered several spells to break the magic item, but as before, the golden egg cracked a slightly larger gap, and then immediately closed again and returned to its original shape.

After a few tries, everyone's interest in the golden egg faded, and their attention was focused on the Weasley prank products that the twin brothers had.

When Neville ate a biscuit for the second time and transformed into a large, feathered canary,
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Harry finally remembered what Charlie Weasley had warned him at the end of the game, so he told the news to everyone.

But apparently the twins didn't take it seriously.

Even Ron didn't care.

Only McGuffin became vigilant after hearing Harry's advice and contacting the unlucky things that happened during the match.

Then, when McGuffin returned to the dormitory upstairs with Harry, Ron, Seamus and Dean, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

They were so tired that their eyelids kept fighting.

McGuffin put his two snuffers away, tried his best to keep the two little guys away from Harry's golden egg, if he was really spoiled by these two guys, he would not be able to accompany Harry to another golden egg.

In the darkness, several people pulled the curtains of the four-poster bed and fell asleep on the bed one after another. After a while, there were snoring sounds one after another.
