Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Through the door, they could see the setting in this room—it was a large room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the moonlight outside lured through the windows and sprinkled on the floor, reflecting a silvery tranquility.

Apart from a big bed and a small swing hanging on the roof near the window, there is nothing else in the huge room.

"Oh, that's my bedroom." Gemma said weakly to Lockhart, "I like to sleep in an empty room."

Lockhart patted her on the shoulder sympathetically—the ghost in this haunted house was put in by Lockhart, of course he knew what would happen next.

Christopherson stepped into the door attentively, and looked around vigilantly for a few seconds, but still found nothing.

Out of caution, Krum didn't follow up, but gestured to his partner with his eyes, telling her to smash the bed.

In Gemma's heartbroken voice, her big pink bed was smashed to pieces by the girlish barbarian.

However, after everything in the room was smashed clean, there was still no change here, as if the two of Durmstrang were just here to demolish.

The female man stomped her feet, and finally got a little annoyed when she found that she got nothing but an echo.

"Hiss...the British didn't trick us, did they?" She asked her partner carelessly.

Krum also scratched his head, he didn't expect it to be like this

However, at this moment, strange things happened one by one.

Just as Christopherson turned around angrily, Krum suddenly caught a glimpse of a black claw suddenly appearing from the shadow cast by the moonlight behind the door.

"Be careful!" he yelled immediately.

However, it was too late, the thing pretended to be a grandson all night, just to be in front of his eyes.

This moment is the master.

It jumped up from the shadow behind the door and fell into Christopherson's shadow, and then the giant claw protruding from the shadow pinched the woman's thighs, and black shadows followed her. The body is climbing up.

"Ah???" Christopherson screamed.

However, before she could finish shouting, her voice changed its tone.

After the giant claws took control of the female warrior, she immediately made her lose the shield in her hand, as well as the hawthorn nail that made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and her eyes also glowed green.

"Back??" the thing controlled Christopherson's mouth and said, "Otherwise I won't guarantee that she will still be alive to see the sun tomorrow."

But Krum didn't mean to back down at all.

"Very good, you are finally willing to come out." Krum said coldly, "As long as you are willing to come out, it will be fine."

Without any hesitation, he stretched out his wand in his right hand, and sprayed a purple mist towards Christopherson.

"Well—" The thing was startled and angry, "You are—"

Krum didn't intend to talk nonsense with it. After using the spell, he picked up the ash wooden spear under his left arm and rushed towards Christopherson.

That thing wanted to control the female man to avoid it, but it was surprised to find that this seemingly powerful body became limp at this moment.

With just this momentary delay, the front end of Krum's wooden spear hit the blond female warrior's abdomen, knocking her into the air.

The ash wood pole does have the effect of exorcism, otherwise the prop shop would not sell it.

The thing was hit by this, and the black shadow surrounding Christopherson actually had

The body has disappeared, and the shape has a faint tendency to break.

Seeing Krum rushing forward again, the thing was so frightened that it left Christopherson's body and burrowed into the ground again.

But this time it miscalculated - Krum used his foot that has attracted countless golden snitches to hook the hawthorn nail on the ground, and then threw a throw at the escaping shadow on the ground.

Hawthorn nails nailed the thing firmly, and then the shadow turned into wisps of black smoke amidst screams of unwillingness, and disappeared into the air.

This series of changes completely frightened the audience who were watching the battle. Almost everyone was shocked by Krum's decisiveness. Not everyone was able to react correctly at the first time and attack their companions.

But Krum just dropped the weapon on his body indifferently, went up to check on Christopherson, found that there was still air in her nostrils, carried her on his shoulders, and walked down step by step. Stairs, with a calm expression, as if he just went to the market to buy half a piece of pork.

The audience immediately chattered.

"This... this is really cool!" A Hogwarts girl said with sparkling eyes, "I will never hesitate to do anything. Is this the world's number one genius Seeker?"

Hermione obviously heard this sentence in the crowd, but what she was more curious about was how Krum managed to kill his companion without hesitation.

Of course, if Hermione knew a little more about the history of the First Wizarding War, she'd know how many wizards in Europe were under the Imperius Curse while Grindelwald was at it.

For these Bulgarians who are on the front line of the battle, either they will kill their relatives who have been cursed with the Imperius Curse, or they will be killed by those relatives. Only by building can we become

decisive

Under the influence of this kind of family education, even though Krum is still very young, he has reached the point where he can get the correct answer without even thinking about this kind of thing, and there is no psychological barrier.

In fact, when everyone watched this game, they would only have one impression of Krum, that is "ruthless enough", and Hermione was no exception.

"There are no good people in Durmstrang!" was what Ron had told her.

Chapter Two Hundred and Eight Nobody Cares Second

After the Hogwarts warriors tackled the first item, the men of Durmstrang followed, also completing the first game.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hogwarts people are far ahead in terms of time spent and task completion.

It is precisely because of this "winner's margin" that the audience still applauded Durmstrang, and everyone was cheering except Gemma, who was still heartbroken for her house.

Ms. Gooch asked Chambers to replay it through the omni-directional telescope, and finally recognized the spell that Klum had just cast.

"It's the Curse of Weakness. Although it's not very advanced black magic, it can be used with silent spells. It can be seen that Durmstrang's students have trained a lot on it..."

Looking at Ms. Gooch's appearance, she obviously doesn't like this very much, even though the curse of weakness is legal black magic.

Lockhart was busy dealing with his little girlfriend at this time. After all, the organizer was indeed responsible for the house being smashed, and Gemma was not arrogant enough to bear all the losses by herself.

After promising to reimburse him for the repair, Lockhart watched as she used the fireplace to contact the furniture repairer in Diagon Alley.

The person she contacted turned out to be Bo Jin Bo Ke, the owner of the Bo Ke shop, a profiteer Bo Ke.

Although everyone has political differences, Bock's attitude is still pragmatic, but the money that should be earned must be earned. Besides, Gemma can find someone else even if she doesn't look for him. Seeing that everyone is pure blood, they only charged half the usual price.

Seeing Mr. Bork's quotation, Lockhart was a little speechless.

"Why do you have to ask Bock to do it? The Magic Equipment Management Office can also help with repairs." He was a little unhappy.

But Gemma looked at him with a very strange look.

"Are you crazy?" she whispered to Lockhart. "Anyway, the Ministry of Magic is reimbursed, and your department is not short of funds. Why save money for them?"

Lockhart had nothing to say—on the path of human evolution, some things are obviously self-taught.

Although Gemma took a lot of time to do things, even after she finished contacting Bock, the Hogwarts and Durmstrang warriors all returned, and the other three groups could not finish their affairs.

Fortunately, Ilvermorny didn't make the audience wait too long. After Gemma discussed the repair work, they finally solved their own side and returned to the screaming shack.

They wouldn't have been so slow, but because they were unlucky and encountered a strange and strange genie (Jinn)

For a spirit with a body, it is too good at mischief-some, whether it is in the doorway, woodshed, toilet or corner, it has set some innocuous/"traps.

For example, the mat at the door, which was covered with black asphalt, made it difficult to move after stepping on it;

Another example is behind the kitchen door, it hangs a paint bucket on the door, as long as someone carelessly pushes the door open, the face will be covered with paint;

There is also the carpet on the steps of the attic. There are a lot of glass balls secretly stuffed under the steps in the middle. If you step on it, there is a high probability that you will slide down the stairs and hit the ground on the back of your head first.

In short, there are many such traps, and the warriors of Ilvermorny

And was delayed for a long time.

"It's like watching "Home Alone!"" This is what the residents of Hogsmeade commented.

Because "Home Alone" is a standard Christmas comedy, although the price is not cheap because it has only been out for a few years, it was still bought by Lockhart and it aroused wide acclaim in Hogsmeade. .

And as the two "thieves" who were teased by the "little devil", the warriors of Ilvermorny didn't feel very good, especially when the two of them were still walking "cautiously"

After each trap was discovered or triggered, they had to stop and deal with it for a while, and beware of that thing's mischief by the way, so that they spent a lot of time unconsciously.

Despite a flawless job of gathering evidence and killing spirits, it took them over an hour to get back, well behind Hogwarts and Durmstrang.

"At least they finished the game," Lockhart said to Gemma.

After the school finished the game, the Panoramic Telescope gave up tracking their cameras, so only Waggadu and Beauxbatons were left on the screen.

And looking at the situation on the screen, Lockhart thinks that both of them are very likely to fail to finish the game.

Ouagadu because Lockhart saw their preparations, and Beauxbaton's because they estimated that they would not be able to leave for a while.

After some communication on the Ouija board, Fu Rong finally knew the name of the ghost on the "third floor"—Anne Boleyn.

If you don’t know who Anne Boleyn is, here’s a brief introduction—she was Her Majesty the Queen of the Stuart (also translated as Tudor) dynasty in England in the early 16th century, and she was also the founder of the British “Golden Age” Mother of Queen Elizabeth I

Dear.

Anne Boleyn made great achievements in British foreign affairs and domestic affairs, but in the end she was accused of using witchcraft to confuse Henry VIII and make him abandon his wife and daughter because of the power struggle. Adultery with a hundred men" and other "crimes" were finally chopped off by the executioner invited by Henry VIII.

After hearing the ghost's name, Fu Rong knew that she couldn't deal with her, so don't even think about it.

But Naihe was in a competition now, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proposed to "visit" this lady.

Fortunately, Queen Boleyn spent several years in France and Austria as a diplomat and French translator when she was young, so there was no language barrier between Anne and the two warriors of Beauxbatons.

The ghost did not refuse, but opened the "stairs", allowing Furong and Keke to come to her room.

The interior decoration of this haunted house is quite gorgeous, as if it is a salon where ladies often gather, and Anne Boleyn also invited two girls to sit down at her table, and thoughtfully served them Magic brought tea and snacks, of course they came from the Three Broomsticks downstairs.

It was like a court tea party, and the three ladies chatted under the watchful eyes of the audience," even if one of them had been dead for more than 400 years.

Queen Anne had a good impression of the two warriors of Beauxbatons, which may be related to the fact that French was used as the "noble language" by the British upper class in those years.

She praised Fleur, saying that her speech and behavior were very appropriate, even in her day, such a woman was capable of taking on greater responsibilities.

As for Coco... children, cuteness is enough.

They chatted very happily, only the audience who were watching the game suffered

Although it is considered courage to have a tea party with the ghost, such a match is really nothing to watch, and Furong and the others are definitely not capable of destroying this ghost, so everyone would rather pay attention to Waggadu.

But after seeing the warriors of Waggadu made dung eggs, scarecrows, and brought the holy wood, Lockhart stood up.

"What's wrong?" Gemma asked strangely.

"The two guys are about to overturn, I'll deal with it." He simply explained.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although the match between Beauxbaton and Waggadu has not yet ended, there is basically no suspense about the result of this match, and everyone will not want to pay attention to who is fourth or fifth.

The dignitaries brought by Fudge had already congratulated Principal Dumbledore, praising the Hogwarts warriors for maintaining the dignity of the British wizarding world.

For the British Ministry of Magic, the Big Five Tournament's biggest role is to publicize how the British magic world is thriving under their governance, and the strength of the students is naturally the best embodiment.As for the business and entertainment that Lockhart valued very much, they were not very important to them.

In addition to the dignitaries of their own country, foreign dignitaries also came to Dumbledore.

Of course, they made a special trip to find Dumbledore not for compliments, but for another mission.

"This is the vice-chairman of the "International Association of Magic" and Mr. Kinomoto, a professor of history at the Magic Institute, and they want to discuss with you the possibility of sending international students to each other. "The translator said to Dumbledore, "They heard that you are the president of the "International Federation of Wizards" on the European side..."

"I agree with all normal academic exchanges in principle." Dumbledore expressed his attitude very simply, "I guarantee that no matter who comes, they will not be discriminated against at Hogwarts."

"Of course we believe in your guarantee." The two Asians said politely, "But there is no precedent for this kind of thing. We hope to reach a consensus on issues such as dispatch form, settlement arrangements, and scholarships, as well as publicity. ..."

Although Dumbledore didn't say anything on the face, he was not very good at such trivial matters, so he could only listen quietly, and only gave his opinion after listening.

see

"I can only guarantee the best security for your international students within the scope of the school. I can also be responsible for the scholarship, but please consult and discuss with Gilderoy Lockhart for the promotion and dispatch standards. He is now the director of the Department of International Affairs and Cooperation in the UK, and he is also a member of the International Federation of Wizards."

Lockhart's promise of "making Hogwarts the first choice for international students" now seems to have achieved some results, and Dumbledore doesn't mind fulfilling part of what he made to Lockhart while realizing his vision. promised.

"With your words, we can rest assured that we will discuss it with him." The visitor obviously had investigated the situation on the British side before, so when Dumbledore handed over the task to Lockhart, the visitor did not know what to do. There was no expression of surprise.

On the big screen at this moment, Lockhart happened to appear on it.

It's not that he wants to be on camera, but that the warrior of Waggadu turned over tragically as he said.

Logically speaking, Waggadu should not have made such a mistake, because they have already perfected their ability to use witchcraft dolls to lower their heads.

In their plan, they would first ignite the dung eggs they made, and draw the head-down runes on the warrior attendants in advance.

After the ghost in the haunted house is up and down, the warrior will light the holy wood and use the lit holy wood ash to temporarily control the ghost on the attendant.

Finally, when the ghost is on the body, the warrior can use the voodoo doll he made to synchronize with the ghost, and then insert ten silver needles into the doll's body from the hands, feet, head, and torso to weaken the ghost's ability to move.

Finally, when the silver needle pierces the doll's heart, the dementia will be completed.Of course, if they are in a tribe, they will also get some spices or olive oil to smear on people's bodies to prevent the body from being injured by ghosts.
