Alice's Travels

Watching Ron's rapidly disappearing back, Alice frowned slightly, and when she turned around, she saw Malfoy standing behind with folded arms, two small flames seemed to be jumping in his gray-blue eyes.

"What are you doing—" he said icily, taking a step closer, "what, did you whisper something to Weasley that no one could hear—"

Alice hadn't spoken to Malfoy since the last time Malfoy's spell hit Hermione, and she still didn't want to talk to him.

As if she didn't hear anything, she went straight past him and was about to move forward, not even bothering to look at him.

Malfoy glared at her angrily, and said angrily: "Look at how pitiful you are——Potter went to Hogsmeade with his first love girlfriend early in the morning, and even people like Weasley don't want to be with you." Together. That's what happens when you make friends with Gryffindors! Now you don't even have a friend—"

"What's your business?" Alice finally turned around and replied coldly, "Take care of yourself before you take care of others—oh, I forgot, Malfoy never listens to other people's advice. ——Since that’s the case, in the same way, don’t say useless words in front of me!”

"How dare you talk to me like that—" Malfoy glared at her, and said angrily, "For that Potter and Weasley, you even forgot you were a Slytherin, did you?"

"I really don't know what you're talking about," Alice frowned and looked him up and down, "It's just inexplicable——If you don't want to quarrel every time, you can avoid appearing in front of me. As for what I want to do, you can tell me It doesn't matter either."

The little flames in Malfoy's eyes seemed to flare up in an instant, and he gave her a cold look before striding away.

Alice didn't bother to care about him, and went directly to the library.

The next day, Harry and Hermione brought Alice some news.

Harry relayed to Alice what had happened yesterday and what had happened with Sirius afterwards.They met Moody and Hagrid in Hogsmeade. Moody's fake eyes could see through Harry's invisibility cloak, and Hagrid quietly asked Harry to go to him at night, and then he took Hagrid wearing the invisibility cloak. Leigh went to see the first event of the competition - fire dragons.

Not only that, but Sirius also told Harry that Karkaroff turned out to be a Death Eater, only to be released later.Recently, the Death Eaters outside seemed to have become active, so Dumbledore had placed an Auror near the school to protect Harry.He also warned Harry to be careful.

Harry has been depressed ever since he learned that the first item was a dragon.

Hermione was so anxious that she felt that the most urgent task was to ensure that Harry passed the level of the fire dragon before thinking about Karkaroff.

Their first thought was to ask Alice if she knew a simple spell that could subdue the fire dragon, but Alice and Hermione racked their brains for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

"I still have to go to the library," said Hermione irritably, "I can only go there to find spells about dragons."

"I really hope Viktor Krum doesn't come over today," said Hermione, glancing at the listless Harry. "His group of Starchasers is too loud, chattering, annoying..."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Alice said to Hermione, "he seems to be going all the time lately, almost as often as you—"

"Actually, Hermione and I see him every time we go to the library," said Harry, frowning. "Shall we go then?"

"Of course!" Hermione said firmly.

They rummaged through the library together for a long time, and Alice tried to persuade Hermione to ignore the noises of the girls brought by Krum—carefully looking for information about dragons in the book.Disappointingly, however, they ended up with nothing.

Harry was visibly agitated, and Hermione was equally concerned.

Alice opened her mouth and even wanted to persuade Harry to just give up. Is there any reason why he must not back down?

Just then, Moody called Harry into his office.

Hermione was a little uneasy, and was going to wait for him in the corridor.Alice said goodbye to them and went back to the dormitory.

Alice didn't sit on the table to read a book as usual, but stared out the window in a daze.She was thinking, when faced with such a dangerous fire dragon, but there was no way to avoid it, would she really want to watch Harry die?What is the point of setting up this kind of competition to compete for the honor of a so-called warrior?

Is there really no way to deal with it?

No, the same students, the ability will not be too different.And the game can't make everyone go to death-then, there must be something they have overlooked.

At noon on Monday, after class, Harry and Hermione hurried over to find Alice and told her that they had a solution-as long as Harry could master the summoning spell.

Harry said that Moody's words had inspired him, and he could use his strength Quidditch-crossing the dragon through the air through the fire.crossbow.arrow.In this case, he only needs to be able to summon the fire, crossbow, and arrow from the castle to the field of competition.

Hermione looked tired, but in good spirits, with a dazzling light in her eyes.

Harry's face finally returned to light.Hermione had been practicing the summoning spell with him last night, and now he was basically able to use it.But they wanted Alice to teach them again--for she was always far better at spells than anyone else.

They immediately slipped into an empty classroom again, and Alice taught Harry as best she could how to make sure he could send fire crossbow arrows on the field outside.

Just when the atmosphere in the school became tense and exciting, the first project of the Triwizard Tournament began.

Hermione watched anxiously as Harry, led by Professor McGonagall, headed to the field below to assemble with other warriors.She shook Harry's hand before he left and whispered, "Good luck, Harry, you will succeed!"

Harry's nervousness almost reached its peak, his mind went blank, and he said in a voice that didn't seem like his own, "Yeah." Then he left the auditorium with McGonagall.

The time has entered November, and the weather has the coldness of winter.

Alice sat on the stand in a panic, staring at the huge fire dragon below the paddock.

The judges are on the other side of the stands, and the game will be commented by Bagman from the Ministry of Magic.

The warriors need to face the fire dragon one by one, get the golden egg behind it, and then the judges will score their performance.

Hermione stood in the front row, her face pale, and her eyebrows seemed to be drawn together.Ron also stood in front with a nervous look.

Malfoy happened to be next to Alice.He pursed his lips and glanced at Alice's obvious worried expression, his eyes were dark, and he sneered inexplicably.

"It's a pity, it's too late for Potter to escape now," Malfoy said lazily, "Will he be trampled by that big guy later—"

"It's hard not to talk, isn't it?" Alice said, casting a glance at him. "Could you please say something nice—see the occasion, and be clever, won't you?"

"There are no Potter supporters here!" Malfoy said disdainfully, "Everyone is waiting for him to make a fool of himself!"

Alice curled her fingers quietly, resisting the urge to flick his head, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

"Was it guessed by me—" However, Malfoy seemed to be talking to himself, evoking a sneer and continued, "You think so too, don't you?"

Alice finally turned her head to look at him, her brown eyes fixed without blinking.

"What—" Malfoy looked at her in some panic and said, before finishing speaking, Alice quickly reached out and flicked his forehead with a "boom", and Malfoy froze.

"Quiet," said Alice, turning her head away from his wide-open eyes. "The game has begun."

Malfoy's eyelashes flickered, and the long eyelashes fell down to cover the expression in his eyes.He pursed his lips and turned his gaze to the paddock below.

The first warrior to come out was Cedric Diggory.This tall and handsome boy looked quite nervous, but when he really faced the fire dragon, he showed exceptional calmness and wisdom - he used a clever transfiguration spell to quickly turn a rock on the ground into a dog to attract the fire dragon Note that although the dragon quickly gave up on the dog and tried to catch him, he had already got the golden egg before then.

But Digory suffered some degree of burns, and he walked out to the first aid tent outside to be treated by Madam Pomfrey.

The second champion was Fleur Delacour, who used a complex hypnotic spell to lull the dragon to sleep.And the third warrior, Krum, directly hit the dragon's eye with a fierce spell, and they all succeeded in getting the golden egg.

Harry came out at last, and he immediately conjured Fire.Crossbow.Bolt and flew into the air.The dragon's eyes kept staring at him, spewing out balls of ferocious flames from time to time, Harry dodged quickly - but before he paid attention, his shoulder was hit by the dragon's tail.

Hermione bit her lip, staring nervously at the movement above.

Just like in a Quidditch match, Harry began to hover and fly up and down skillfully, constantly attracting the attention of the fire dragon, and then used the moment the fire dragon spread its wings to catch him and quickly swooped down, directly from the nest Caught a golden egg.

This was the fastest time among all the warriors to get the golden egg, and screams and applause erupted from the stands.

Harry didn't dare to delay for even a moment and soared into the sky immediately, and flew high into the sky at high speed, away from the dragon.Then, greeted by the professors, it flew to the outer ground and landed.

The noise from the auditorium hadn't stopped yet, and Hermione had a happy smile on her face.Ron looked excited too.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

An annoyed look crossed Malfoy's face, and he said in a strange voice, "You must be very happy to see Potter is fine, right?"

"It's a pleasure," said Alice briskly, "that something you've been worrying about for a long time turned out to be much better than expected-it's easy to be happy, isn't it?"

"Worry—" Malfoy said a word coldly, with a malicious light in his eyes, "You really care about Potter! It's a pity that Potter's first love is that inseparable Granger..."

Alice stretched out her hand and flicked his forehead, "Will you be able to talk? What have you been talking about all day, huh?"

"Am I wrong!" Malfoy covered his head and stared at her angrily, his fair skin flushed, "You dare not admit it—"

"What am I afraid to admit?" Alice glanced at him lightly and said, "Stop saying strange things all the time, when will you grow up, Master Malfoy?"
