Chapter 296 The Second Project
Madam Pomfrey, who was playing with the glass bottle, was startled by Mike's voice, and then glared at Mike.
As the only and most powerful professional doctor in Hogwarts, no one in the entire Hogwarts dared to disobey her, not even Dumbledore.
After all, as a mortal person, you are bound to get sick.
And once you fall ill in Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey is your only choice.
At this time, if you usually sin against Madam Pomfrey, then the consequences can be imagined.
She will not ignore you out of medical ethics, but it is okay to choose some treatment options that will make you suffer more.
Normally, Mike would not dare to offend this grumpy doctor.
But now for Professor Flitwick, Mike couldn't care less.
As a result, Mike faced Madam Pomfrey's almost murderous look and came to her with Professor Flitwick in his arms.
"Mrs. Pomfrey, I'm sorry. But the current situation is a bit special!" Mike said, "Professor Flitwick seems to have something wrong with his body."
As soon as she said this, Madam Pomfrey quickly put away her eyes that could almost kill people, and asked Mike to lay Professor Flitwick flat on the bed where he had been at zero time, and began to examine him.
Madam Pomfrey's hands groped back and forth on Professor Flitwick's body, her expression becoming more and more serious.
This made Mike's heart twitch!
However, at this moment Madam Pomfrey suddenly punched Professor Flitwick in the chest and said angrily:
"Okay! Get up if you have nothing to do! You are so grown up, and you still like to play pranks so much!"
Then, under Mike's surprised gaze, Professor Flitwick rubbed his chest and sat up from the bed with a sneer on his face.
"you……"
Mike looked at Professor Flitwick who looked like a normal person, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Oh! Mike!" said Professor Flitwick, "Don't worry about me! I feel much better now!"
At this time, Mike still didn't know that he had been tricked by Professor Flitwick. He shook his head helplessly and said without being angry:
"Well, as long as you're okay."
He was answered by Professor Flitwick's cheerful laughter.
At the beginning, Flitwick was indeed a little upset because of Dumbledore's anger, but it was actually nothing serious.
He could have stopped Mike from sending him to the medical center, but for some reason, when he saw Mike's nervous look, he suddenly wanted to see what Mike would do in this situation.
And Mike didn't disappoint.
Yes, yes, I didn’t hurt him in vain!
As Professor Flitwick thought this, his laughter became louder and louder.
Madam Pomfrey looked at the two people, a smile appeared on her originally serious face, and said to Mike:
"Okay, since your teacher is fine, it's your turn. Lie down quickly, I want to give you a full body examination."
"Well, I'll forget it. I'm not hurt at all."
Mike scratched his head and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, Professor Flitwick and Madam Pomfrey said loudly in unison:
"no!"
Seeing this, Mike also knew that he couldn't escape, so he seemed to have no choice but to find a spare bed and lie down and undergo the examination.
The result was not beyond his expectation. His physical condition was very good, much healthier than most ordinary people.
After the examination, he finally saw his other three competitors in a temporary ward next door.
Because it is a temporary ward, the furnishings here are quite simple. Apart from the four single beds, it can be described as a house with bare walls.
When Mike walked into the ward, Harry was sitting on a hospital bed chattering to Ron and Hermione. There were Firebolts and golden eggs on the inside of the bed.
He was still wearing his Quidditch protective gear, and one arm was hanging, with a thick bandage tied on it to prevent Harry from moving the injured arm.
Fleur and Krum were lying on the bed, neatly covered with white quilts, which made Mike unable to see clearly the extent of their injuries.
Krum stared at the ceiling without moving, looking helpless. Mike now felt that what Professor Flitwick said should be true, and Krum's injury might be really serious.
Compared with the sick look before, Furong looked very energetic at this moment.
She was holding her golden egg in her hand and looking at it carefully, as if she could see something from it.
The next moment, as if some mechanism had been touched, the golden egg in Furong's hand suddenly broke into two halves.
It was empty, there was nothing inside.
But just as it split in half, an extremely terrifying, sharp and piercing scream filled the entire room!
"What did you do? Turn off this sound!"
Ron covered his ears and shouted, but his voice was completely drowned by the screams, and others could not hear what he was saying.
Finally, Fleur hurriedly closed the golden egg, and the screams disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their hands covering their ears.
"What was that just now?"
"I...I don't know either." Fleur answered Harry's inquiry with a scared look on her face, "The sound came from the golden egg. I seemed to have triggered some mechanism just now. How about I try again?"
"No, no, no! At least not here!"
Ron quickly stopped her.
At this moment, Hermione spotted Mike standing at the door and said happily:
"Mike! Congratulations!"
Unlike her two friends who were chatting with each other, Hermione was paying attention to the situation outside the whole time, so she naturally knew that Mike was performing very well.
Her voice also made the rest of the people in the ward react.
Ron and Harry greeted Mike excitedly, while Krum glanced at Mike and then continued to stare at the ceiling helplessly.
The one with the most exaggerated reaction was Furong.
She suddenly sat up straight and asked excitedly:
"McMac! How many points did you score?"
Just as Mike was about to answer, Hermione on the side responded in a show-off tone:
"46 points! You're at the bottom now! Madam!"
Fleur's expression froze, and she stared at Mike with watery eyes, and then quickly withdrew her gaze, as if she was too embarrassed to see anyone, she pulled up the quilt and buried herself in it.
Seeing this, Mike wanted to go up and comfort him, but Hermione on the side continued:
"Ignore her! Could it be that you two really have the kind of relationship that the newspapers say?"
Mike also fell silent upon hearing this.
He had not forgotten his promise to Penello to stay away from Fleur, and now in full view of everyone, he could only cast an apologetic look at Fleur.
Seeing that Mike hadn't gone to comfort her for a long time, the bulging quilt suddenly raised a small bulge, as if someone inside was kicking the quilt.
But this action seemed to have touched the wound, and a cry of pain suddenly came from the quilt.
Hermione laughed, and so did Ron and Harry.
At this time, the sound of fingers tapping on the door panel suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you look good!"
Ludo Bagman's voice came, and as soon as Harry saw that it was him, he jumped off the bed and suddenly stood up straight, looking very nervous.
"Oh! Harry! You don't have to be like this!" Ludo Bagman said with a flattered look, "I'm just here to tell you one thing. The second project will be on the morning of February 24th next year. Starting at half past nine, you can rest for a long time before that, long enough for you to recover from your injuries (Bagman's eyes passed over Harry's tightly bandaged arm). As for the second project The information is hidden in the golden egg you got, so you can try to open it and have a look. Well, that’s all I have to say, and I’ll take my leave!”
After saying that, Bagman left in a hurry.
But before he went far, he turned back as if he suddenly remembered something.
"I almost forgot to tell you." Bagman came to Mike's side and stuffed a note into Mike's pocket where no one else could see it, and then said, "As for your scores, currently The first place is Mike, followed by Harry, and the third place is Cream. As for Fleur, it's a pity that you have the lowest score now. Okay! I really have to leave this time!"
Although they already knew the result, Harry and others were still so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.
There was a faint cry from Fleur's quilt, and Krum.
He still looked hopeless, as if his scores had nothing to do with him.
That night, a dinner was held in the Ravenclaw Lounge to celebrate their warriors. Mike achieved first place in the first stage of the Triwizard Tournament.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Ravenclaw's Quidditch captain, the alcoholic Roger Davis, even ignored the previous warning and brought out a large amount of firewhiskey again.
This move immediately raised the atmosphere of the entire dinner to a new level.
The thrill of contact with taboos is something that these underage wizards can't resist.
However, just as everyone was drinking and drinking, Professor Flitwick suddenly appeared in the lounge.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. In the past, Professor Flitwick would usually not participate in such banquets, so they dared to drink in the lounge so boldly.
Now Professor Flitwick appears unexpectedly!
"Aha! Firewhiskey!" Professor Flitwick glared at Roger and said, "Let me guess, this must be your handiwork again, right? Roger!"
Roger's face suddenly fell. Professor Flitwick had made it clear to him before.
If Professor Flitwick catches him drinking, he will be expelled.
It's a pity that he is about to graduate now. If he is expelled at the last moment...
He dared to swear that his parents would kill him!
But what he didn't expect was that Professor Flitwick said next:
"What are you still waiting for? Why don't you come and fill me up quickly!"
Roger couldn't believe his ears. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly poured a full glass and handed it over. His face was flattering and his posture was very suitable for his status as a bitch.
After taking the wine glass and glancing at the wine that was almost overflowing, Flitwick glared at Roger again.
‘This kid! Why don't you wink at all? ? ’
Flitwick thought this, but didn't say anything. He raised his glass and said:
"Mike's performance today was really great! I'm very satisfied! So, everyone! Cheers!"
After saying this, Professor Flitwick raised his head and drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
"Oh! Long live!"
Everyone who was still stunned saw that their dean not only had no intention of punishing them, but even took the lead in drinking, and they quickly drank the wine in their glasses.
The atmosphere of the dinner party became lively again.
Mike in the corner looked at the happy people in front of him and smiled softly. His wine glass collided with Penello's wine glass beside him, and he drank it all in one gulp!
At this time, Professor Flitwick, who had finished greeting the students in front, also came to Mike, looked at the golden eggs placed on the table beside Mike and said:
"Mike! You did a great job, but now is not the time to take it lightly. So regarding the golden egg, I suggest you spend more time on it."
"In fact, I already know the secret hidden inside."
Mike said with an indifferent expression.
Like the first project, Mike once again received a note from Bagman and Crouch, and the detailed decryption method was written on the note.
But in fact, even without their help, Mike was in charge of each project.
Because this part of the Goblet of Fire plot is Mike's favorite. In his previous life, he had to watch it over and over at least five times, and he hated the subsequent original works very much!
I like it because after experiencing so many events, Harry and the others have finally grown up. When they reach the age of first love, they each have someone they like.
I hate it because Hermione, who has always been regarded as the heroine, ended up with a stupid boy like Ron!
This was something Mike couldn't accept at the time.
It's not that Mike is a lolita, so he can't accept Hermione having someone he likes.
Mike was already very old when he read this book, so he read Hermione as his own daughter.
And when he learned that Hermione and Ron were together, Mike instantly felt as if his daughter had married a trash man.
Even Krum is better than Ron!
At least Krum is handsome and a sports star!
Mike shook his head and retracted his divergent thoughts.
Professor Flitwick, on the other hand, didn't even notice Mike's gaffe just now. When he heard that Mike had cracked the secret of the golden egg, his face was stunned for a while, and then he picked up the golden egg with a nervous look on his face and pulled Mike along. Came to an empty dormitory.
"Really or not? The golden egg has only been in your hand for less than half a day, right? The secret has been discovered by you now?"
Mike didn't say anything when he saw this. He directly combined the Clear Spring Water Spell with the Floating Spell to summon a large ball of clear water floating in mid-air. He placed the golden egg into the water ball and opened it.
"You'll know when you put your head in the water." Mike said with his hand out as a gesture of invitation.
Professor Flitwick dubiously obeyed.
And the moment he put his head completely into the water, he heard a beautiful song:
“Seek us wherever our voices sound.
We cannot sing on the ground.
When you search, think carefully.
We took away your most beloved treasure.
You only have one hour to find and reclaim the treasure we took.
After an hour all hope was gone.
It will disappear completely and never appear again! "
