Harry Potter and the Rebirth

Chapter 372 Being cheated

The competition soon came to the third round. After a few days of rest, all the contestants were ready to go, and four of them had already formed an alliance.

The Weasley twins from Gryffindor, Cedric from Hufflepuff, and a graduating wizard from Slytherin, Parker.

As for why Parker got involved with the three of them, we have to ask Draco, who was full of resentment under the stage.

Parker is tall, handsome and upright. Although he is from Slytherin and comes from a pure-blood family, he has an unexpectedly peaceful temperament and can get along peacefully with almost everyone in the academy. Later, due to family changes, he was taken in by Lucius and will work for the Malfoy family after graduation.

The reason why he stayed until now was precisely because of Master Draco Malfoy's request. Looking at the young master who was full of complaints, he felt that it was really not easy for him to do his job.

If he wins, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of his own master? If he loses, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Malfoy?

However, reality did not give him the opportunity to think more.

The game began soon. In order to speed up the progress of the game, the venue was set up in the Quidditch field. Sixteen people were divided into eight groups. Each group had a professor as referee, and the groups were divided by random drawing.

Almost all the young wizards of Hogwarts sat in the stands. Dumbledore hurried back to Hogwarts, followed by a large group of nervous Muggles.

Yes, Muggles.

This was the result of Dumbledore's efforts for many days. With his superb negotiation skills, the accelerated deterioration of the Earth's objective natural environment, and the frequent vicious incidents discovered by their own forces, a considerable number of them bowed to Dumbledore.

Or in other words, a suitable ladder has been found now.

The current British Prime Minister is the one sitting closest to Dumbledore, and next to him is the already elected President of Country M. These two countries combined represent a large part of the world's power today, and sitting next to Dumbledore is Li Changsheng.

Professors rarely stand in the stands. There are Aurors everywhere, responsible for protecting the safety of Muggles. But with Dumbledore's presence, who would show up at this time?

A vacuum zone was formed outside. Some young wizards who were born to Muggles or half-bloods, who were relatively familiar with the current Muggle world and had a slight understanding of the international situation, saw that the president of Country M was actually following -

Hermione saw the man next to the President and her jaw dropped to her feet.

"What's up? What did you see?"

Ron, who was in the stands, caught Hermione's surprised expression out of the corner of his eye, then turned and looked at the group of exquisitely dressed and imposing Muggles around Dumbledore.

"grass--"

This is the only interjection that can express how he feels now.

The Eastern Giant fell, and the two former cold war enemies were now standing close to each other, even talking and laughing.

In the face of a powerful enemy, humanity will maintain astonishing unity, abandon past grudges, and shake hands in peace.

"Game start--"

Snape was floating in the center of the venue, and under his feet was an extremely huge python wearing goggles.

In order to show off, this job was originally done by Fox, but how could our dear Mr. Basilisk let Fox suffer such injustice?

So today's activity was recorded. As for how this snake can fly, we have to ask the old dragon who is working hard behind the scenes.

Harry, who was standing under Snape and was responsible for patrolling the field, looked at the cloak flying up and down in the sky. His greasy hair became very flowing at this moment. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking that he had seen everything in his life.

Cedric's counterpart was a sixth-year Gryffindor senior who looked exactly like Wood. Looking at his straight nose, stubbornness, and unruly demeanor, he felt itchy to try.

He and Wood are both members of the Quidditch team. While playing for their school teams, they also have some grudges against each other. If this face was bruised and swollen, it would definitely look very ugly.

Following the order, Cedric cast the spell first, catching the boy opposite him off guard.

This Hufflepuff has always been known as a nice guy, why is he so tricky now?

After layers of selection, almost all of them are the elite among the elites. The first level tests their comprehensive qualities, how to preserve their strength in harsh environments, and whether they can react quickly and immediately to magical creatures and plants.

The beginning of the first level disrupts their thinking about the game, which is also a test of their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The second level tests their teamwork ability. As long as you learn to unite and form alliances, you can gain a considerable advantage in this level.

The third level tests personal qualities.

Even though it is a random draw, the lottery tube is actually rigged to only put people with similar abilities together.

The third level is more cruel. Except for the three unforgivable curses, all others can be implemented.

Including some curses.

Cedric was unsure about the rules of the game. Was it a test of whether one could be ruthless enough to be cruel to the enemy, or a test of whether one could be ruthless enough to be cruel to one's companions?

Many people had concerns in this regard, and were a little hesitant at the beginning of the game, but the Weasley twins did not have this concern.

They were divided into a group by that damn signature. The good news was that there would definitely be a Weasley in the final team. The bad news was that they would have to take action against their former brothers.

The pre-match grouping was of little use at this moment.

Fred and George were very upset. They chose to put down their wands at the same time and then sat together in the stands to express their protest against this grouping.

Sometimes family affection cannot be measured by some worldly concepts. At this moment, they both firmly choose each other and trust each other with confidence.

Molly Weasley, a parent who was invited to watch her children's game, had tears in her eyes after seeing this scene. She was proud of her child.

The justice in those fairy tales exists if someone believes in it and then does it.

Harry walked up to the twins and didn't urge them. He just looked at them with a smile on his face as they shared various funny toys in the bag with each other, and discussed in public how to stuff one of the dung balls into the person who made the lottery, so that he would become famous in Hogwarts.

It's very Weasley.

Snape floated down from the sky, and Mr. Basilisk lay obediently at his feet. He greeted Harry and lazily shook his tail.

He still had a very good impression of Harry, a little wizard who provided him with a fixed place to sleep and indirectly encouraged him and Fawkes to stay together.

Looking at the cool pair of goggles, Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"Gryffindor trolls, what are you doing?"

Snape's venom sprayed mercilessly, making the two more excited. They jumped off the stands at the same time, loudly announcing that they would give up their qualifications for the competition. Percy, who was eliminated in the second round and was sitting in the stands, felt mixed emotions. His little sister Ginny shouted loudly at the side, pulling the people around her and proudly announcing that this was her brother.

Very good, this is very Weasley. Harry remembered that under Umbridge's high-pressure environment policy, the twin brothers gave up their exams, chose to fall out in the examination room, rushed out of Hogwarts on their flying brooms, and severely beat Umbridge.

And now, they have never changed.

Two flying brooms were summoned from somewhere, and the flying spell was used with great skill at this moment. Then the twins filled the sky with grand fireworks, illuminating everyone present.

Then he whizzed past and greeted Dumbledore with a smile before leaving.

How could the people present not be able to stop it? It was just not difficult.

Dumbledore smiled and watched them fly towards the distant Forbidden Forest. He only said, "Remember to come back for dinner in the evening."

Fred shouted out - OK!

The leaders of various countries, who had been extremely nervous just now and regarded the wizarding world as a place in dire straits, now seemed to have let down their guard a little.

In their opinion, Dumbledore, like them, should be at the top of the wizarding world. In such a major event, they saw the warmth unique to wizards, the indulgence of the elders towards the younger ones, and their shining qualities, but at the same time, they began to doubt Dumbledore's prestige. This is a double-edged sword.

Undoubtedly, the effect is very good at this moment.

The President of Country M even stood up and took the initiative to exchange seats with the British Prime Minister.

No one expected things to develop like this, which meant that there would be an extra spot, and everyone was eyeing it covetously. However, Dumbledore did not say a word, he just announced that the competition would continue.

This wave of scenes that only exist in novels is being played out in reality. Muggles are constantly wondering if they have come to a movie. This is even more thrilling than their Marvel.

After a hard battle, Cedric and Parker successfully defeated their opponents. The winner was decided. The seven victorious people stood in the center of the venue, welcoming the peak moment of their lives.

"There are two Gryffindors!"

Ron shook Hermione next to him and began shouting loudly.

Hermione was a little dizzy. Although she was excited, she couldn't stand the fact that there were three Slytherins, and the little snakes on the side had already revealed their badges and logos.

There were two from Gryffindor, three each from Slytherin, and one each from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

"If Harry had competed, half of them would have belonged to Gryffindor if they hadn't run away."

After Ron realized this, he had some complaints, and the shock that the Weasley twins had just brought to everyone now became the target of their attacks.

"Why are you running? As if to make yourself look great. Now Gryffindor has lost to Slytherin."

"That's right. He has no sense of the overall situation at all. Isn't it a disgrace for Hogwarts in front of so many people?"

The Slytherin people were obviously aware of this. Someone suddenly conjured up a huge piece of brocade with words flashing on it.

"Weasley is our king! Weasley is our king."

There is no doubt that everyone would want an opponent who can help them succeed.

Although Ron had some complaints, he was his brother after all, and how could he allow his brother to be stigmatized?

Ginny recovered from her excitement and agitation, and felt the looks of the people around her. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw undoubtedly didn't want Slytherin to win, which made them very uncomfortable.

At this moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the man who was just welcomed and regarded as a hero has now become a coward.

Percy stood up suddenly and left the stands quickly. He wanted to find Fred and George before everyone else, tell them the result of the game, and persuade them to stay in the dormitory honestly during this period of time.

Dumbledore was keenly aware of this and moved Harry to the middle, making him a member of the team, making a total of eight people.

He did not expect that even several days of teamwork and joint training did not reduce the barriers between the academies even a little bit, but instead made the conflicts more acute.

In order to resolve these conflicts, Harry had no choice but to take action.

When Harry stood on the stage, there was a huge cheer from the Gryffindor side, as if they had already secured victory. Although Gryffindor and Slytherin seemed to be evenly matched with only three people each, they had actually already successfully crushed Harry.

Their trust in Harry is undoubtedly the best weapon to resolve the conflict at this moment.

As a tool, Harry, who was tricked on the spot, had to stand stiffly aside, not daring to move.

The other three schools also completed their personnel selection on the same day. Harry, who was unexpectedly forced into the team, took the initiative to find Dumbledore.

"I am responsible for the maintenance of the first level, and I also know that the first level competition is the dragon. In this case, how can we talk about the fairness of the competition?"

Dumbledore was apparently having a barbecue.

He crossed his legs, slumped his whole body on the soft leather chair, stuffed a handful of sweet candies into his mouth, and then took a sip of the overly sweet green tea, looking very comfortable.

"It's okay Harry."

Dumbledore patiently explained to Harry, "There are four colleges, a total of thirty-two people. The reason for selecting so many people is not for group competition, but to select the strongest."

"The first level is the dragon. If others only deal with one, but you deal with four, they will definitely not say anything."

Harry, who had just thought it made perfect sense and was about to nod, suddenly shut his mouth. He stared at Dumbledore expressionlessly, trying to find any hint of a joke on his face.

Unfortunately, no.

"You should be more restrained when the time comes, and don't shock them so much that they dare not move like last time."

Harry realized that there was a mole among them the last time they went to see the dragon at night, and he told Dumbledore everything.

He was sure that Lupin would not tell the truth, and that was Charlie who looked very reliable -

He was cheated twice in a row by the Weasley brothers.

"I'm only twelve."

Harry stared with dead fish eyes, hoping that Dumbledore would change his mind and show mercy. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight four human dragons at once.

If only I had known I wouldn't let them go, Harry thought viciously.
