Chapter 343 What Is the Function of the Spirit of Fortune Elixir?

Penello returned to the contestant waiting tent. Her Hogwarts friends came forward to congratulate her, but there was not much joy on her face.

Sean gave her a thumbs up, and Penello responded with a smile.

"Why does she look unhappy?" Harry said from the side.

"Really? Maybe it's because I feel like I didn't perform better." Sean said.

Penello made a good start for Hogwarts, and the effect of the good start was to mobilize the atmosphere, but the next group was the Hogwarts Civil War, and everyone didn't know who to support for a while.

Slytherin's Paul Forsell and Gryffindor's Marton Foley were both outstanding in their respective houses.

Facing each other on such an important occasion today, the two will definitely try their best to win honor for their college.

"We all learn the same things. Who has a greater chance of winning, Paul or Marton?" Sissi asked.

"I can't say that. Anyway, we were all teammates in the last game. No one feels sorry for the other." Joseph struggled.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Paul." Ogudo Notte said.

Joseph rolled his eyes at him, "You are a classmate, of course you say so."

"Please draw the competition venue on the 4th." Thickness called.

Fleur looked at Paul and Marton and said, "This is a fun game to watch, but will they just admit defeat like Durmstrang did?"

Leno shook his head and said with certainty, "No, they don't dare. This is their home court and they will definitely perform well. Besides, haven't you read their information?"

"Information? After reading it, are there any questions?" Furong asked confused.

"You haven't looked carefully enough. One of them is from Slytherin and the other is from Gryffindor. These two houses have always been bitter rivals in Hogwarts. How could they surrender without a fight?"

Paul and Marton drew Site No. 2, Dune, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"It seems that we have to be the first to use this venue." Paul said.

After Group 1 was drawn to the dunes, they did not fight at all and simply gave in. Paul and Paul were the only group that officially fought on the dune field.

"Let's take a look at the contestants in Group 4. Both are top students at Hogwarts. This civil war will represent the battle between the two colleges." Bagman explained passionately with a loud voice.

In this game, there was actually a customer betting on the unfavorable one, betting that the battle would be resolved within one minute. It seemed that the first game provided many ideas for those who wanted to win.

Paul and Marton are not as special as Sean, nor are they the inexperienced Chrissy and Harry. Their battle can be said to be a very practical demonstration of the level of this graduates.

"Paul, Paul"

"Matton, Matton"

The battle between the two was very exciting. It took 6 minutes and 3 seconds to end the battle.

"Winner, Paul Fussell." Bagman announced the result that everyone in the audience saw.

The fifth game was between Chrissy and Durmstrang. Before going on stage, Sean turned Chris aside as if whispering to Penelo.

"I know you are very nervous now. The opponent is one year older than you and looks so strong." Sean said.

Chris said angrily, "I'm already nervous enough, and you're still talking here."

"Don't be nervous, drink some water." Sean handed over a small water glass.

"No, I can't drink it." Chris refused.

"You have to drink, it will help you." Sean said pretending to be mysterious.

Seeing Sean's strange expression, Chris subconsciously asked, "What kind of help? Is this?"

"Elixir of Fortune, hush, drink it now."

At Sean's urging, Chris picked up the water glass and took a small sip, then walked to Thicknesse to draw the venue.

The two of them actually also won the lottery of sand dunes, but Chris would rather choose sand dunes than snow and woodlands.

"Chris, come on."

"come on."

The words of encouragement from her companions lingered in Chris's ears, and she was sent to the arena by the staff in a daze.

In the Leaky Cauldron, Old Tom handed Old Barty a glass of butterbeer.

"It's Chris who's on the stage. Old Barty, do you have confidence in your granddaughter?"

Old Barty looked at Chrissy on the broadcast screen with relief. It was already good that she could represent Hogwarts in the competition. At least it proved that the Crouch family has not fallen yet.

"Just try your best. Being able to participate in such a competition is an honor in itself." Old Batty said.

At this moment, Chrissy was the first to attack in the picture.

"Chrissy Crouch is very proactive, and the prelude to the battle was instantly ignited by her." Bagman said vividly.

But the scene was really on fire, and Chris used the fire-flowing technique that Sean taught her and Bernard in private.

Seeing the ferocity of the attack, the opponent quickly used Apparition to dodge. Chris, Cedric, and Harry at Hogwarts had not learned how to Apparate yet, so they would be at a disadvantage against their seventh-grade opponents.

Professor Shafiq, who was in the advanced class, taught them a way to deal with Apparition.

"Your level is not high enough and you cannot sense the fluctuations of space, but you can predict the disembodiment through other aspects."

"When using phantom, subtle fluctuations in space will affect the surroundings. You must learn to observe carefully. For example, on a water-filled ground, the water on the ground will ripple in the moment before the opponent appears."

Chris saw the sand vibrating without warning at a position seven or eight meters away from her on the right front, and she instantly cast a spell in that direction.

The opponent who used apparation was startled. He did not expect that Chrissy would see through his landing point. However, Chrissy's attack did not hit the boy, but was blocked by the boy's expected sneak attack.

In order to disturb Chrissy's sight, the boy "Sand and Stone" made the venue full of sand and dust, so that even the audience could not see clearly what was going on in the venue.

"Come on, Chris." Cedric, who is also in sixth grade, encouraged Chris in the tent.

Although Sean is in the same grade, Chris and Cedric are considered normal people. Cedric watches Chris fight as if he is watching himself.

Unfortunately, when the battle reached 2 minutes, Kris was already at a disadvantage, but she still persisted for more than a minute.

"Three minutes and 47 seconds. Although we lost, our performance was already very good." Old Tom said.

"It's much better than I thought. This kid must have suffered a lot in school." Old Barty murmured as he looked at Chris's scene.

"The elixir doesn't work either. Am I too bad?" Chris returned to the waiting area with a frustrated look on her face.

Sean also told the truth, "Actually, I lied to you. There is no elixir. I picked up the water from the drinking bucket, and then used the transformation spell to change the cup."

Sean pointed to the two wooden barrels that provided water to the players in the waiting area. "Your performance on the court depends on your own strength. I also explained to Penello after he came down."

"Winning or losing is normal. The opponent is one year older after all. Besides, you have performed very well." Sean comforted.

Chris felt a little better after hearing this. Fortunately, she didn't lose the game after drinking the real elixir, otherwise she would have fallen into self-doubt.

In the sixth game, two boys from Babston were drawn to court No. 4, which they had not encountered in the previous groups.

Site No. 4 is a ruin, with ruins, collapsed buildings, and cracked walls. This is a street battle that extremely tests the agility of the players. Because there are too many bunkers, the accuracy of the players' casting is also a big test.
