Roy's Shared Chat Group

Ariana did not cause much stir among the little wizard, but her appearance caused quite a reaction among a few people who were concerned.

The first is Professor Snape. From the moment Snape returned to Sima Lian, we knew he was in a very bad mood. Originally, Snape and Lily spent a sweet Christmas holiday for two in Spider Alley, and they were very happy. But after returning to Hogwarts and seeing Ariana beside Dumbledore, the good mood that Lily brought to him disappeared quickly like ice and snow under the sun.

Ordinary wizards couldn't see it, so how could he, a newly promoted great wizard and summoner of the Soul Cup War, not see it? Ariana's aura was almost identical to that of his Lily, which clearly told Snape that the situation he least expected had occurred. Dumbledore also became one of the Soul Cup Summoners, which meant that he would face the old man again, but the difference was that this time he was fighting for his beloved.

When Snape returned to the dean's office and saw Lily still brewing the potion, his cold expression melted away like a spring breeze, and a gentle smile appeared on his face as if changing his face.

"I can't lose this time, no matter who my opponent is."

The appearance of Ariana not only re-strengthened Snape's fighting spirit, but also made another group of people with bad intentions make up their minds.

In the headmaster's office of the Durmstrang Academy of Magic's ship on the Black Lake, several wizards with the Dark Mark were whispering and plotting.

"The news is confirmed. The person who appeared next to old man Dumbledore at the dinner tonight was his deceased sister. I once happened to see a photo of the Dumbledore family when they were young in the Black family. The little girl there looked exactly like the one who appeared today."

"Then this so-called Soul Cup War might be true. We need to modify our plan. I think we can perfectly revive the master through this Soul Cup War. After all, the master has been hiding in the body of the cowardly traitor Karkaroff. This is really unfair to the supreme master. Peter Pettigrew, it's your turn to atone for your sins."

When the Dark Knights who sneaked into Hogwarts were planning how to resurrect Voldemort with the help of the War of the Souls, they were completely unaware that a pair of invisible eyes were watching their every move.

"Well done, you did a great job. You asked for the seventh actor to come on stage without me even urging you. You are so obedient. I am really looking forward to your actions. Consuming a soul fragment of Voldemort to summon a Voldemort. I can't wait to see this scene. I just wonder which lucky one of you will become the master of your master. It is really interesting."

Luo·The mastermind·Yi murmured to himself excitedly.

Chapter 105. The Second Stage of the Triwizard Tournament

In a flash, more than a month had passed. In this world line, because of Roy, the second game of the Triwizard Tournament started a month earlier in the month.

The second game is still held at the bottom of the Black Lake in the original book, but due to the increase in the number of people, what they have to save is not their loved ones but their respective wands. That's right, they need to get their wands back under the protection of the mermaid tribe without the help of wands.

As for the golden box that the warriors got in the first game, it was opened by Roy and others using magic early on. There were three things inside: a potion, a piece of parchment, and a mask.

The potion is grass, the parchment contains a spell about breathing underwater, and the mask is a magical alchemical item that provides oxygen.

Although there were no other hints, the appearance of these three items made it almost clear.

It was chilly in England in January, with tiny snowflakes flying in the sky. A thin layer of ice formed on the Black Lake in this cold weather, and under the thin ice was where the Warriors were playing today.

Although it was freezing cold with snow and wind, the cold could not cool the enthusiasm of the young wizards. The colorful banners of different schools and colleges were waving in the cold wind. Even though their faces were red from the cold, the young wizards were still cheering loudly for the warriors of their own schools and colleges.

Although the weather was very cold, the atmosphere on the field was unusually hot. Looking at the lively scene, the deans nodded with satisfaction. The cohesion of the college was fully demonstrated at this time.

The brave warriors from the three academies walked out from the crowd and looked at the frozen lake. While the referee was announcing the rules of the game, some of the warriors began to make preparations for the game.

It was still the four brave men from Durmstrang. They were not afraid of the biting cold wind at all. They took off their thick fur coats without any hesitation, exposing their sturdy bodies to the cold wind, and began to warm up amid the blushing exclamations of many little witches.

Not to be outdone, the female brave team at Beauxbatons also took action, but they were not warming up but changing equipment. The girls took out several sets of equipment that Roy and Hermione were very familiar with. They were several sets of strange-looking diving suits, and they seemed to be the same set as the alchemical mask in the treasure chest.

The four girls from Beauxbatons, including Fleur, took a lot of effort to put on the alchemical diving suits they brought with them, but after they put them on, they attracted most of the attention of the people present.

There is no such trendy thing as tight suits in the wizarding world. When the tight diving suits perfectly outlined the graceful and enchanting bodies of the four girls, many young and energetic wizards were stunned. Some of the boys were so excited that their blood boiled and they even had nosebleeds.

Compared to the big commotion made by the other two schools, the Hogwarts warriors were very calm. Harry, Roy and the others put their hands in their pockets and watched the actions of the warriors from the other two colleges calmly without being moved.

Is he confident or just pretending to be calm? Is it really okay to do nothing? Could it be that Harry and the others have not guessed the content of the second competition?

The minds of the little wizards watching were filled with various thoughts, but it didn't matter anymore because the competition had begun.

With a whistle, four warriors from Durmstrang School, including Krum, stuffed a potion into their mouths, broke through the ice with a splash and jumped into the water. A young wizard who was observing through a magic telescope recognized that the potion Krum and the others took was gillyweed for underwater breathing. It seemed that the brave warriors of Durmstrang were ready to rely on the potion to complete this level.

After the brave warriors from Durmstrang entered the water, Beauxbatons made a final adjustment to the alchemical equipment and then jumped into the water shortly after. At this time, only the four warriors from Hogwarts were left on the shore.

After all eyes were on them, Hogwarts F4 finally moved.

Harry used the spell recorded on the parchment with superb silent and wandless casting skills. A layer of white air film enveloped him and the human-shaped bubble submerged in the water.

Malfoy curled his lips at Harry with disdain, and with a flip of his body, a giant snake about seven or eight meters long and as thick as a bucket slid silently into the water.

After Saydkri used a magic that no one could understand, a cauldron-shaped barrier covered him 360 degrees without any blind spots, and then he sank into the water.

The last person to enter the water was Roy, but Roy did not seem to want to enter the water. He made a move that no one expected.

He stepped straight to the center of the Black Lake. All the young wizards were stunned by Roy's action. They all knew that although the ice on the lake looked solid, it was actually only a thin layer. If they stepped on it like this, they would definitely miss a step and fall into the water.

But something unexpected happened. Roy stepped steadily on the ice and did not fall into the water. Step by step, Roy walked directly towards the center of the Black Lake with a purpose.

"How is that possible? This ice obviously can't carry a person. Is Senior Roy using some kind of magic?"

There was a young Ravenclaw wizard who didn't believe in superstition and followed Roy's action and stepped on the place where Roy walked. As a result, most of his body was soaked by cold water, and when the cold wind blew, he shivered all over.

Unlike the puzzled young wizards, the professors and principals who were keen-eyed and sensitive to magic discovered the secret of Roy's walking on thin ice. Every time Roy took a step, a perfect floating spell was released before the foothold he was about to step on.

So although Roy seemed to be walking on the ice, he was actually floating step by step. He did not touch the ice at all. What they saw was just a visual illusion.

If what amazed people in the first game was Roy's tremendous magic, then what he showed in the second game was his exquisite control.

The move Roy showed not only meant that he could walk on water, but in fact, as long as Roy wanted, he could step on the void and ascend to heaven step by step. Even Dumbledore couldn't do it.

Following the direction of the induction, Roy came to the center of the Black Lake. In his perception, his wand was right below it.

Looking at the turbid lake water under the ice, Roy squatted and pressed on the ice.

"Bang bang bang."

Countless tiny freezing sounds were heard, and a moment later a snow-white step with an ice crystal pattern suddenly appeared where Roy's palm was originally pressed, and the lake water around the step seemed to be invisibly separated by something.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick laughed particularly happily when they saw this scene, because Roy's move showed his extremely high attainments in Transfiguration and spells. The ice crystal steps were formed by a very powerful Transfiguration spell. It was very simple to turn water into ice, but such a large area and such a delicate step were created without the help of a wand. This was enough to prove the depth of Roy's Transfiguration.

As for Professor Flitwick, it was because Roy cast a modified spell he had specially given to Roy before, the Sea Parting spell, which was a modification of the Water Repellence spell. Theoretically, as long as there was enough magic power, even the sea would be split by this spell. This was something Professor Flitwick had specially picked out for him after seeing Roy's huge magic power.

Seeing Roy use the spell he gave him and use it so well, how could Professor Flitwick not be pleased? It was because Roy gave too many surprises and they were too ordinary. If it were any other time before, Professor Flitwick might have almost fainted with joy.

Roy walked slowly down the ice crystal steps. After a while, he came up with a magic wand in his hand and waved to the spectators.

"He appeared. It took less than a minute, 57 seconds, to win the first place in the second round of the Triwizard Tournament. He is Roy Smith from Hogwarts School. Let's cheer."

After a moment of silence, the little wizards around burst into thunderous applause.

After Roy returned to the contestant platform with his wand, he unexpectedly saw Gabrielle, who had breathed a sigh of relief and became anxious again. It seemed that she was worried about her sister Fleur. Roy thought about it and felt that it was not easy for the students around to brave the cold wind to watch the game, and it was not a good idea for them to wait here. So after communicating with Dumbledore and several other referees, Roy's idea was approved.

A moment later, a large magic projection screen appeared in the air, and the content on the screen was exactly the other warriors who had already entered the water.

Chapter 106. The Fate of Other Heroes

The magic projection summoned by Roy was divided into three parts, projecting underwater images of warriors from three magic schools.

The quality of the projection was a little blurry due to the light, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the onlookers. Waiting for the results was certainly exciting, but who would want to wait foolishly when they could watch the live broadcast?

Not only were the young wizards staring at the projection intently, even the elite wizards from the judging panel just stared at it after seeing Roy's magic. Nearly a thousand wizards gathered around the Black Lake and stared at the magic projection intently. It was very much like the situation in the 1980s and 1990s when a film crew showed free movies in an open space at night and people from all over the surrounding area rushed to watch the movies.

However, compared to most wizards who focused on the performance of other warriors underwater, a few elite wizards focused on the magic itself.

There is no doubt that the magic Roy used was a new magic. Although some elite wizards outside the school knew that Roy, a young wizard who enjoyed a high reputation in the British magic world, was talented and destined to be one of the influential figures in the magic world in the future, these elite wizards were not very interested in Roy before they saw him with their own eyes.

They are all graduates of Hogwarts. Those who were able to become elite wizards were all good students in the eyes of professors and geniuses of the school. So no matter how great their reputation is, it is all false.

But after seeing Roy use new magic again and again, these elite wizards became a little confused. They are all wizards who studied at Hogwarts, so why are you so outstanding?

Every spell and every new magic requires an elite wizard to constantly explore carefully, verify seriously, conduct repeated experiments, risk his life from distortion, explosion, and deformation, and spend a lot of time and energy to research or improve a new spell.

It could be said that creating a new magic was something that this group of elite wizards should be proud of throughout their lives. It was a great achievement that was worthy of being written into the family history. But what did they see in Roy? One after another, new magic that had never appeared in the magic world was easily performed by Roy, a fifth-grade wizard. Was this a true magical genius?

If Roy knew that these adult wizards who were staring at him like they were suffering from red-eye disease were envious of his use of new magic, then Roy would definitely say proudly, yes, these new magics were all researched through my hard work, Roy is such a genius, I never rely on outsiders to study magic.

Following a collective exclamation from the young wizards, the perspective was pulled to the magic projection.

In the magic projection belonging to Durmstrang, Krum and others were in danger. When they were swimming through a large thicket of lush water plants, they were suddenly attacked by a dozen Grindylows hiding in the water plants.

After these little monsters swam out from the water plants, they bit Krum and others' limbs fiercely. Their tiny and sharp teeth soon left tooth marks on Krum and others' bodies. The light red blood dissipated in the water, and the blood seemed to stimulate Grindylow's wildness even more.

They not only bit with their teeth but also scratched with their claws. With some fingers broken, they left scratches on Krum and others.

Although they appear to be very ferocious and cruel, they are ultimately just level ×× harmless/tamable. Their actions may seem powerful, but in fact they don't deal much damage.

After Krum and the others realized what had happened, they started to defeat Grindylows one by one with one punch. The four Durmstrang warriors, including Krum, were all Quidditch players. They were the best among wizards in terms of physical fitness and strength. It was easy and pleasant for them to deal with these dark magic creatures whose combat power did not exceed five.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of exerting force underwater, they could have dealt with these dozen Grindylows in just a few seconds.

But Krum and his companions seemed to have bad luck, or maybe it was because of the wounds on their bodies. After they dealt with this wave of Grindylows, they encountered another group of Grindylows within a few dozen meters of swimming. Moreover, this group of Grindylows swam out from the water plants before they passed through the water plants and aimed directly at Krum. Krum and his companions had no choice but to fight again.

Compared to Krum and the others who were harassed by wave after wave of Grindylows, the girls from Beauxbatons were luckier. They swam safely to their destination, the fishman tribe.

Looking at the fishmen holding harpoons blocking their way, Furong and the others subconsciously wanted to use charm magic to charm them. Unfortunately, the charm magic they used needed to be used in conjunction with their looks. If it was simply used, the power would be weakened a lot. Moreover, this was the case when they were silent and without wands, so the power of the magic was even smaller.

The result was that the murloc guards were not charmed, but instead seemed to be angered, and their harpoons changed from a defensive state to an offensive posture.

Facing the harpoons poking at her and the others, Furong knew that they were destined to fight. Thinking that this level was a test of speed, Furong had no time to hesitate or be embarrassed. She took out a small blue marble from a hidden pocket in her diving suit and threw it hard at the fish-man guards.

The small blue marble suddenly exploded when it hit the harpoon of a murloc guard. Tiny lightning formed an electric net in the water. Furong and others who were not far from the murloc guards felt their bodies tingling. The murlocs in the center of the marbles had their eyes rolled up by the electric shock, and their bodies were twitching, and they could hardly hold the harpoon.

Roy, who was on the lake, suddenly realized something was wrong when he saw Fleur take out the blue marbles. Others might not recognize what it was, but Hermione definitely knew it because she also had this thing he gave her personally as a self-defense thing.

Roy's guess was correct. After seeing what Fleur was holding, Hermione touched the small blue bead in her pocket and looked at Roy thoughtfully.

Fleur naturally had no idea that because she used the beads Gabrielle gave her to prevent accidents, Roy would be checked on by Hermione. She took this opportunity to swim over with the other three and retrieved their own wands from one of the three pillars.

After getting her wand, Fleur thought she was the fastest group, but when she took a look at the pillars belonging to Hogwarts, she suddenly choked.

Because there was only a light red wand placed alone on the pillar of Hogwarts, which meant that three people in Hogwarts had taken their wands before them.

Needless to say, Roy could walk on ice without leaving any trace, and with the ice condensed into steps, he was the first one to get his magic wand.

The second person to get the magic wand was Sayde Kree. He flew to the murloc tribe unhindered with the pot-shaped barrier, and all the obstacles on the road were knocked away.

The third one was Harry. He actually also encountered Grindylows when he swam over, and there were dozens of them in a large group. However, he condensed water into a sword with one hand, and after he cut off more than a dozen heads with one sword despite the resistance in the water, no blind creatures came to find him. When Harry arrived at the murloc tribe, the murloc guards, who were quite intelligent, were convinced when they saw Harry holding a sword with traces of blood and exuding a sharp aura.

Originally, the fourth one actually belonged to Malfoy, but he was unlucky and encountered a horse-shaped water monster when he swam over. The two giants fought directly in the water and wasted a lot of time, which allowed Furong and others to seize the initiative.

Chapter 107: Unfair Score

Twenty-four minutes into the second round, when Krum emerged from the lake with a wand in his hand and some ice chips in his hair, the second competition was declared over.

When all the heroes completed the challenge, the judges including the three headmasters began to score them. Except for Karkaroff who was as undisguised as always in his favoritism towards Durmstrang, the other judges gave the heroes fair and appropriate scores. Cedric, Harry and Malfoy all scored high among the top. However, the judges had a disagreement when it came to scoring the first one, Roy.

Professor Dumbledore believed that Roy's behavior was completely in line with the rules of the Triwizard Tournament, and his outstanding performance would undoubtedly earn him the highest score in the competition, but other judges had different opinions.

Although they were also amazed at the superb magic level displayed by Roy, there was still controversy about the process of Roy obtaining the magic wand. They believed that Roy did not dive underwater to find the magic wand, but rushed on the water surface. This was unfair to other heroes, so points should be deducted.

In general, the points must be deducted severely. In fact, the judges' concern is not whether Roy is fair or not, but if Roy is given the highest score, then Hogwarts' score will be far beyond their school's score. You know, Madam Maxim and Karkaroff really tried their best to increase the scores of their school's heroes.

Even though the two headmasters were about to openly state that they were taking sides, their school's ratings were still not much higher than Hogwarts'. Remember, this did not even include Roy's score.

This is also the reason why the two principals have always wanted to lower Roy's score, because only if Roy's score is lowered, their school will have the possibility of getting first place in the overall score.

After discussing for a while, Roy's score finally came out. It was a medium score that was neither high nor low. As soon as the score came out, there was another round of boos. Obviously, this score was absolutely not worthy of Roy's performance. Even Hermione, who usually respected Headmaster Dumbledore the most, bit her pink lips and complained a few words in her heart.

However, compared to the excited little wizards watching, Roy himself accepted the score calmly. To be more precise, he would not care no matter what score the judges gave. Roy has passed the stage of caring about honor. Compared with the small score of the Triwizard Tournament, he cares more about the Soul Cup War that he planned.

After it was announced that Hogwarts took first place with a slight score advantage, and Beauxbatons and Durmstrang tied for second place, the second round of the Triwizard Tournament was over, and the final round would be held at the end of the semester a month later.

Roy skillfully accepted the kindness of the little wizards who gathered around him to defend him, and also calmed down the restless little eagles. Roy's indifference to the score was regarded as free and easy by the little wizards, and they admired Roy even more. Is this the mind of the head of the dean? He was clearly targeted twice in a row but he showed such an open-mindedness and was able to persuade them. It was really admirable.

However, these little wizards who had glorious fantasies about Roy did not know that Roy, who acted as if he did not care at all in front of them, was now pretending to be pitiful in front of Hermione.

"Hermione, I am so miserable. I performed so well, but Professor Dumbledore and others only gave me such a low score. I am so sad."

Looking at Roy who was acting pitiful, Hermione knew in her heart that he was probably pretending but she still couldn't help feeling pity for him. She originally planned to settle with Roy why Fleur also had the little blue pill in her hand, but she put that aside. After hesitating for a while, Hermione hugged Roy and pecked him gently.

"Alright, alright, I know you're feeling wronged. Here, are you satisfied with my comforting you like this?"

Roy savored the citrus flavor of his lips and felt a flutter in his heart.

"I'm very satisfied. I just wanted to divert attention but ended up getting a loving hug and kiss from Hermione. It's really great."

Although I was very happy in my heart, I couldn't show it at all.

"No, I'm not satisfied yet. I need a few more."

After becoming a couple with Hermione, Roy's mouth, which had its own thoughts, gradually began to synchronize with his brain. He was always able to say the love words he wanted to say to Hermione at the right time. However, the words he said were so corny that Roy could not think of any cheesy love words in his mind for several lifetimes.

What is the most successful magic in my life is to make you fall in love with me. There are two ways to be sweet: one is to eat candy, the other is to think of you. Do you know the difference between you and the stars to me? The stars are in the sky, and you are in my heart...

Although these love words are corny, they are very practical.

Roy had tricked Hermione into kissing him more than a dozen times with just his eloquence. The best time was when he made Hermione so infatuated that she almost reached third base. If Hermione had not been on her period that day, Roy could have allowed Hermione to have her coming-of-age ceremony a year earlier.

Hermione couldn't stand Roy's constant nagging, so she twirled her hair, raised her head and started a deep breathing exercise with Roy.

In the next month, Roy began to prepare for the final exams, or to be more precise, he prepared for Hermione, because as a Hogwarts hero, he had the privilege of getting all O's this year without taking the final exams. Hermione was a severe patient with severe exam phobia, and even though Roy thought she could easily pass the final graduation exam directly, she still ignored his advice and began to review intensively.

Of course Roy didn't just accompany Hermione this month, he also accompanied Luna and Gabrielle. Ahem, it was training, not the kind of companionship you think.

In addition to accompanying his girlfriend, best friend, and sister, Roy secretly did other things, such as pushing forward the progress of his Soul Cup War and getting the seventh player to appear as soon as possible.
