He had been preparing for this project a long time ago. He believed that the "gift" he carefully prepared would definitely surprise the warriors. So when the volunteers were brought to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Tom directly raised his hand and said to
Professor Flitwick gestured.
"What's the matter, Yodel?"
"I need to go to Hagrid's hut."
Professor Flitwick was a little puzzled, but he did not embarrass his students. He waved his hand: "Go back quickly, don't waste too much time."
So Tom got a little free time.
He quickly ran to the edge of Hagrid's hut. At this time, Hagrid had already put on a brown suit and stood at the door of the hut with a serious look on his face.
"Can I borrow Buckbeak?" Tom made his intention clear before Hagrid could say anything.
"Well, of course, but you want-"
Before Hagrid could finish asking, Tom disappeared. He quickly ran to Hagrid's pumpkin patch and found Buckbeak taking a nap in the field.
After Buckbeak was acquitted, he stayed with Hagrid and was fed and fed by Hagrid. In return, he would guard the pumpkin fields and chicken coops for Hagrid and kill those who were interested in pumpkins and hens.
Chickens are animals with evil intentions.
Tom's arrival alarmed Buckbeak. He raised his head and looked at this somewhat familiar man with his big orange eyes.
Tom bowed to him first, and after receiving a response, he came to Buckbeak and unfastened his bridle.
Although one person and one beast have known each other since last year, creatures like hippogriffs are very pretentious. The bow they bowed last time has now expired! If you want to strike up a conversation, you have to go through the process again.
"Come join me in the Triwizard Tournament!" Tom said with anticipation, stroking Buckbeak's feathers.
Under the influence of the Exquisite Ball, Buckbeak understood Tom's words.
Although he didn't quite understand what the Triwizard Tournament was, Buckbeak could tell that Tom wanted to take him away from the melon field and go out for a walk.
This is not a bad thing, Buckbeak thought. So he fluttered his wings and agreed to Tom's proposal.
When Tom led Buckbeak back to the group of volunteers, most of the people's expressions had changed.
"What is this?" A Beauxbatons girl couldn't help but ask.
"Hypogriff."
"I know, but why can you compete with it?!"
Tom held Buckbeak's halter and kept a safe distance from the group of volunteers, lest they get too close to Buckbeak and anger the proud creature.
"Why not? There is no such thing as a prohibition on carrying mounts in the competition rules, right?" Tom replied with a smile.
Others:…
It seems like there really is no prohibition!
Everyone looked at Tom with much complicated expressions: How can this man survive so well?!
Before everyone has digested the news they just learned, you started making trouble?
"Is this really okay?" Madame Maxime looked at the hippogriff, which was obviously not easy to mess with, and her expression was not very good.
"There is indeed no rule prohibiting volunteers from doing this." Ludo Bagman shrugged, feeling that Tom's operation was not illegal...
Then, together with other professors, we took the volunteers to every corner of the Forbidden Forest.
…
Most students are unaware of what happens outside the Forbidden Forest.
As usual, they got up and washed up, and then went to the auditorium to have breakfast with their friends. When they arrived at the auditorium, they gradually learned the news: the volunteers had set off for the Forbidden Forest.
Everyone suddenly became excited.
"I just said that the competition will be held in the Forbidden Forest!"
"Why? This is too dangerous!" There were also some more sensible little wizards who criticized this location, but the vast majority of students didn't care.
"The Triwizard Tournament is inherently dangerous."
"Didn't the Ministry of Magic make very thorough preparations?"
"I don't think it's a big deal in the Forbidden Forest. I snuck into it when I was in first grade..."
The students noticed a question: The competition is held in the Forbidden Forest, so how do you watch the competition? Do you follow the deans into the Forbidden Forest? This speculation makes everyone a little nervous, because if the guess is true, everyone has to enter the Forbidden Forest.
!
The little wizards were chatting away, but Cedric's face turned stiff as he was surrounded by his classmates.
Why is it the Forbidden Forest? Didn’t it say that the first project was the fire dragon?
Whether it was Professor Karkaroff, Mrs. Maxim or Professor Sprout, they all helped analyze the content of the first project for the warriors in their schools after "explaining the questions".
The final conclusion was that they would have to deal with the fire dragon on the Quidditch pitch for a period of time. The location of the game was based on their speculation because it was the most suitable place for watching the game and also convenient for rescue.
But now the information conflicts with my own speculation! This is very troublesome!
Cedric was in a state of confusion, and what was even more uncomfortable was that his friends were still talking nonsense next to him, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
"...Some people saw Yodel among the volunteers today. I'm so envious!"
These words floated into Cedric's ears, causing him to wake up instantly.
That man also joined the volunteer team! The flames at the World Cup finals left a deep impression on Cedric. In his heart, Tom's strength was unfathomable.
Is it possible to get help from Tom? Cedric thought about it.
"Digory, now the warriors have to gather at Hagrid's hut... You must be ready to complete the first project." While Cedric's brain was running rapidly, Professor Sprout looked at him.
Came over, walking in a hurry.
The exchange between the two attracted the attention of many people.
"Okay." Cedric stood up and accidentally knocked over the cup in his hand, making a clang sound.
"Good luck."
"come on!"
"You will win!"
The classmates nearby cheered Cedric on. Cedric tried his best to smile, saying that he would live up to everyone's expectations. However, the smile was so stiff that it looked as if it had been carved into his face.
Cedric and Professor Sprout left the auditorium together. It could be seen that Professor Sprout was also very nervous. She and Cedric came to the lawn outside the castle together. By this time, the weather had turned cold, and there were even
Hanging with white frost.
"Okay, don't be nervous," Professor Sprout put his hand on Cedric's shoulder, "Just perform normally. I believe in your strength... There is no need to worry about safety. The Ministry of Magic has made some arrangements. If the situation arises,
Oops, don’t be stingy with using these back-ups..."
Cedric simply said yes, indicating that he understood.
"One more thing, after the game starts, you can try your luck near the Whomping Willow." After giving the necessary instructions, Professor Sprout said this.
Cedric cast a confused look, but his dean remained silent and walked with his head down.
