Chapter 295 It’s Hunting Time!

Chapter 735 It’s time to hunt!

As Ludo Bagman announced the start of the game, those golden snitch-shaped monitors quickly flew to each warrior.

The advertisements on the magic curtain also disappeared, and fifteen warriors appeared.

"Let me report the current scores of the warriors." Ludo's voice was like thunder, passing through the dark Quidditch field and reaching the stands.

"Number one is Rolf Scamander - 201 points!"

On the magic curtain where Rove was, his scores for the two rounds and his total score respectively appeared.

The students at Hogwarts clapped their hands excitedly, and the deafening sound frightened the birds in the Forbidden Forest into flying into the darkening night sky.

"Behind Scamander is Shirley Swinton - 178 points. Hermione Granger and Fleur Delacour have the same score, tied for third, both with 164 points..."

The scores of the warriors appeared one by one. Such comparison also gave the audience sitting around the Quidditch field the most intuitive understanding and comparison.

For example... there are four warriors in the top three, and except for Fleur, the remaining three are all Hogwarts students.

For another example, Harry Potter and Krum, who were the favorites before the start of the competition, although their results were not at the bottom, they were only ranked in the middle, which was not very satisfactory.

Of course, Ron Weasley's "dazzling" score of eight points also attracted a lot of attention.

Especially compared to Scamander's two hundred and one points, eight points seemed so humorous that the audience laughed and the air was filled with joy.

"Okay, everyone's scores are out." Ludo said loudly:

“Next, the warriors will enter the maze and compete for the Triwizard Cup.

The warrior with the first score will enter the maze first, and then move backward... So Mr. Scamander, are you ready? "

Luofu nodded gently and said: "Ready."

"That's good." Ludo said, "Listen to my whistle! Three...two...one...the game begins!"

With a short whistle, Luofu, with the cheers and applause of the students, took the lead into the maze through the gap. When he entered, a drizzle started to fall in the air.

Those drizzles are similar to Gringotts' anti-thief waterfall, washing away all spells and magical disguises.

In other words, the warrior who enters the labyrinth from here cannot be a wizard disguised by someone else using polyjuice potion. They must all be him.

This will prevent Death Eaters from sneaking in.

After passing through the anti-thief corridor, seven roads appeared in front of Luo Fu, and they twisted and led to different directions.

The boy had the map provided by Hagrid and had been to the maze several times in private, so he already knew the terrain here well.

So, without hesitation, he walked straight towards the road on the far right. After walking about three hundred meters, a figure suddenly appeared on the aisle.

That person turned out to be Professor McGonagall. She pursed her lips and glared at Rolf sternly: "Scamander, you have been expelled from Hogwarts."

"..."

Rolf took a deep breath, raised his wand high and said, "Funny."

Professor McGonagall, the Boggart incarnation, immediately beamed and said, "Rolf, fifty points for Hufflepuff."

This scene made the students in the audience laugh and cry. Professor McGonagall, who was standing outside the maze, had a dark look on his face, but when he turned his back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Rolf waved his wand again, and a gust of wind came and blew the Boggart away. He continued to move forward, turned left along the hedge, and entered a narrow path that slowly sloped underground.

The narrow passage rose steadily on both sides until it suddenly closed and formed a tunnel deep under the hedge, exiting in a hollow on the other side.

But at the end, the exit was blocked by criss-crossing white silk threads. It was a huge spider web, neat and orderly, and each thread was as thick as a rope.

In the center of the spider web, there is a spider as big as a car, with eight eyes and eight legs. It is dark and hairy and looks extremely scary.

"Scamander encountered the Acromantula, which is a cruel creature that likes to eat human flesh and is an extremely dangerous magical creature." Ludo said loudly:

"So, other warriors must be careful. In the maze, in addition to guarding against other warriors, they also have to deal with a lot of animals provided by Hagrid."

When Harry was about to enter the maze, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he remembered how he was almost eaten when he encountered an Acromantula in the first project.

The students in the stands also opened their eyes wide and exclaimed, as if a fierce battle was about to begin.

But the next second, a scene that shocked everyone appeared:

When the ferocious Acromantula saw Luo Fu, his face was full of horror and he almost fell off the spider web.

It stabilized itself in time, hung two meters above the ground, and then said sweetly,

"Scamander...Master, you are here too."

"Yes." Luo Fu nodded and said, "I am a warrior competing in the competition."

"Really? Then you must be the champion." Acromantula said flatteringly: "Will I make way for you, little one?"

"Is this the end?" Luofu raised his eyebrows.

"I..." The Acromantula rolled its eyes and said, "Can I be your mount?"

"That's pretty much it," Rove said.

The students just watched the Acromantula lying down at Luo Fu's feet obsequiously, and then ran forward with him on its back. They were stunned for a moment.

You are an Acromantula, can you have some backbone? !

At this time, Rolf sat on the back of the giant spider, tied a rope around the spider, gently waved the reins, and said:

"Let's go... It's time to hunt!"

...

Surrey,

Little Whinging,

4 Privet Drive.

Dumbledore stood in the middle of the living room, listening to Mrs. Figg stuttering:

"I saw the Dursleys this morning, and heard Petunia say she was going to watch her nephew's game.

I knew Hogwarts was hosting the Triwizard Tournament, so I thought you really invited them, so I didn't think much about it.

But when Tonks came to take over in the evening, I asked her and found out that the Dursleys didn't go to Hogwarts at all... It's all my fault... I didn't find the problem earlier..."

"Mrs. Figg, you are not to blame for this." Dumbledore comforted her: "Go back and rest, I'll leave this place to you."

Mrs. Figg nodded with a sad face and left the room. Dumbledore looked at the old man he brought with him and asked:

"Newt, can you find them?"

"I'll try." Newt put down the box and pointed his wand at the ground and said:

"Apparition."

The wand sprayed a golden smoke, illuminating the traces of recent activities in the living room.

"Here comes the Niffler." Newt waved his wand again, the box suddenly opened, and a Niffler jumped out.

The Niffler landed on the ground and sniffed around a few shining footprints.

Then, those footprints turned into illusions of Petunia, Vernon, and Dudley.

The Niffler rushed out of the room, and Newt and Dumbledore immediately chased after him.
