HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

"Because the earth is round." Draco looked at Lycoris and raised his eyebrows. Didn't she know such a simple thing?

His serious explanation made Lycoris think Draco was really cute.

Draco cut his right index finger, pressed it gently with the tip of his thumb, and a round drop of blood appeared on the fingertip.

Draco dropped it on the transparent ball, but no blood dripped down. Just like water falling into water, the blood in this ball condenses and does not disperse, forming a blood bead inside the ball.

This thing is really advanced. Licoris had a hunch that the location of this blood bead is exactly where it is on the British map.

Licolis followed suit, and after contributing two blood beads, she and Draco each had a locator that had the exact location of the other party.

"That way I'll know wherever you go." Draco played with the two balls in his hands. They spun in his palms, looking like spinning walnuts.

Lycoris used her beech wand to heal her wounds, looking at Draco who didn't care that his fingers were bleeding. She pinched Draco's right index finger with her index finger and thumb, and held up her wand with her other hand to stop the bleeding.

"One for each of us." Draco collected one himself and handed the other to Lycoris.

When Licoris opened her left hand to catch the ball, he deliberately threw the ball up.

Licoris's gaze moved upward, Draco took Licoris' left hand with his right hand and gently kissed her palm.

Lycoris felt the softness in her hand, and when she looked down, Draco caught the ball with his other hand.

Then Draco triumphantly placed the ball on the spot where he had just kissed - Lycoris' palm.

"This is also a mark."

"Okay, I was successfully marked by you." Lycoris smiled at Draco, then held Draco's wrist with her backhand and pulled him into her arms, "We marked each other."

February 23rd.

Dumbledore's office.

Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

In the end it was Dumbledore who broke the deadlock because he had other things to do.

"Severus, do you mind if I tie you up?" Dumbledore looked at Severus sincerely.

He put his hands in the sleeves of his gorgeous robes and looked as if he was about to pull out the Elder Wand from the sleeves any second.

"Tie him up?" Severus seemed to have heard a big joke. He sneered and mocked Dumbledore, "It seems that Headmaster not only needs a tooth-strengthening potion, but also some brain-strengthening potions."

Dumbledore didn't care when he was squeezed, and instead explained.

"Sev, you know, the second level is to rescue the hostages from the mermaid.

"Victor Krum's hostage is Miss Hermione Granger, and Cedric Diggory's hostage is Miss Qiu Zhang. Their two hostages represent love, and what they save is their own Love, how romantic, isn't it?

"And Ron is Harry's hostage. This is a beautiful manifestation of friendship." Dumbledore looked at Sif in front of him with deep eyes and said in a relaxed tone, "Fleur Delacour's hostage is her sister. I love my sister very much, this is a touching family affection.”

"So you want to tie me up and send me to the mermaid to be Lycoris's hostage? Snape said in an affirmative tone and frowned at him.

"It seems that you are not willing, Sev?" Dumbledore raised his left hand and made a helpless gesture with his palm upward, "Then what should I do?"

"Old Bee, have you forgotten my identity? How many people are watching Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament? Do you really want me to stand in front of people?" Snape said in a bad tone.

Severus Snape knew that many people were paying attention to the Triwizard Tournament. After all, it was a cross-border sports competition.

The participating students are the best children from every school in each country.

"Sev, I'm just making a suggestion. Maybe you have a better candidate?" Dumbledore already had a candidate in mind and was just venting his anger on Severus.

He was Lycoris's father, and he couldn't help but choose a girl's most important person as a hostage.

"Since it's inconvenient for you Severus, then don't consider family ties." A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face and he said seriously, "How about you choose between friendship or love?"

love?

Severus was even more unhappy, with a cold face that reminded people of an ice sculpture in the cold winter.

At the Christmas party, Lycoris told Snape that she liked Draco Malfoy.

But Severus didn't want Draco Malfoy to be a hostage.

Lucius Malfoy will also appear at the game. It is impossible for him to miss this grand event of the Ministry of Magic. He brought Narcissa to watch the first game.

Severus Snape didn't want Lucius to pick on his daughter in front of so many people. In Snape's heart, his daughter was the best.

"It seems that Sev, you prefer that Rico's hostage be friendship? The representative of friendship... Do you think Miss Parkinson is more suitable, or Mr. Nott?" Dumbledore looked at Sev's expression and found it very interesting. .

He stretched out his hand to touch his long beard and suggested, "Or what do you think of Mr. Longbottom? He also gets along well with Licris."

"It's not Gryffindor's turn to take out the hostages of the Slytherin warriors."

Dumbledore's words became more and more outrageous, and Snape had to interrupt his suggestions. If you let him continue talking, you don't know what outrageous things he will say.

The hostages in the Triwizard Tournament are the people the Warriors care about most.

For all reasons and reasons, Snape should be tied to a stone pillar and let the mermaids guard him.

But Snape's identity was not suitable for such an occasion. He was a double agent.

Spies are meant to function in the shadows, not in front of everyone's gaze.

Here, Principal Dumbledore and Snape were discussing the hostage selection of Licris. Over there, Licris went to bed early.

She wasn't afraid at all.

I have tried it while taking a bath before going to bed, and the mermaid's blessing is still effective.

That big tail of my own is so beautiful.

And Potter, who was just mentioned by Dumbledore, is working hard to find a solution.

He was the only one in the library.

Hermione was taken away by Professor McGonagall, and Ron was not left behind.

Harry fell asleep in the library because he worked too hard.

Fortunately, the elf Dobby gave him a gillweed and woke him up, otherwise he would definitely miss the second level of the game.

Harry had no idea about the proposition of "surviving underwater". Barty Crouch Jr. released the entire Atlantic Ocean to let him pass.
