Chapter 357 Ghosts and Hunters

1995, Wednesday, February 15th, sunny.

After the Christmas break, and a month and a half into the second half of the school year, the third event of the Goblet of Fire finally began.

The competition venue is still the Forbidden Forest by the Black Lake, and the organizers have arranged the venue one day in advance.

"Ron, did you bring anything to eat?" Fred asked.

"No, you haven't eaten enough?" Ron said.

"That's not true. This game is quite long. If you are hungry, I have snacks here that I can sell to you at a cheaper price." Fred said with a playful smile.

Ron made a face and said, "We are brothers, do we have to collect money?"

George immediately replied, "Brothers will settle the score. Fred and I are still twins."

The players by the Black Lake had already been divided into groups. Although they were mentally prepared for the organizing committee's grouping, when the names were announced, everyone's face was still full of surprise.

"That's great, Sean, I'm in the same group as you." Harry looked at Sean with an expression as if he was surviving a disaster.

"There are Krum and Fleur. Our team looks pretty strong."

Sister Babston squinted and said, "You boy, do you look down on us both?"

Harry explained awkwardly, "No, everyone is pretty strong."

The last team member was also from Babston, and Benjamin was secretly grateful to be assigned to a strong team just like Harry. His own points were only 4 points, only one point higher than Harry.

The remaining four players all have 5 points, but Sean is the number one favorite, and Krum and Fleur are also quite capable. If they hold on tightly, they should be able to achieve good results in this game.

"They are divided into groups entirely based on points." Sean glanced at the personnel of each group and calculated the points of each group in his mind.

"The six of us add up to 27 points, those three groups also have 27 points, and that group has 26 points." Sean pointed to the other four groups.

Kris and Cedric only have 1 point. They were assigned to the Leno and Paul group with 8 points. The other two are from Durmstrang, Ginter has 6 points, and Ramo has 3 points. Sri Lanka.

"Harry, have you had enough breakfast? There is no chance to eat during the five-hour race." Sean asked.

"I have no appetite." Harry still couldn't calm down.

Five groups of people stood scattered together, and Thicknesse had the staff distribute the maps and explain their uses.

"The hunter's prey is Cornish elves. 50 of them have been put into the field. The hunter's petrification spell can only be used 4 times in each round. The captured elves must be captured by the petrification spell."

"If a hunter is hit by another hunter, he must pause his actions for 5 seconds."

"Now everyone, look at the map in your hand. This is a detailed depiction of the venue. There are three signs in the lower right corner of the map. The circle represents the safe zone, the triangle represents the hunting box, and the cross represents the ghost."

"This map allows groups to share information in real time. You can try drawing any of the three symbols on the map." Thickness said.

Sean saw a triangle suddenly appear on the map in his hand, and then a circle.

"Who drew the triangle?" asked Mom.

"I drew it," Benjamin said.

"I drew a circle," Harry continued.

Sean probably understood that this should use magic similar to the Marauder's Map. Everyone can leave a mark on the map to remind other team members.

"There are 10 safe areas and 20 hunting boxes. There are no marked locations on the map. You need to discover them yourself after entering the site." Thickness said.

"Send one person from each group to draw lots later."

The grouping started at 8:30, and the members of each group got to know each other. At 8:50, lots were drawn to determine the order of the groups.

Group 1, Leno, Paul, Ginter, Ramos, Kris, Cedric

The second group, Watson, Ogudo, Joseph, Emmeline, Amel, Neuer

The third group, Marton, Sissy, Maeve, Lori, Sabally, Kimisi

The fourth group, Dusana, Penello, Klostermann, Gundogan, Musiala, Lucas

The fifth picture, Sean, Klum, Fleur, Harry, Mumu, Benjamin

"After 10 minutes, enter the field and start the game. The first group will be ghosts first. After an hour, the second group will be ghosts, and the first group will become hunters." Thickness said while waving to the staff behind him. .

The staff stepped forward and put corresponding numerical labels on the chests and backs of the five groups of players to prevent misidentification of team members.

After the number tags were posted, the staff took out a bottle of clear liquid, Thickness explained.

"This is a revealing spray prepared for the Petrification Curse. Now spray it all over your body. If you are hit by the Petrification Curse during the competition, the area hit will show bright yellow, so don't take any chances."

Several staff members quickly sprayed the 30 contestants. The transparent spray actually made a rainbow appear under the bright sunshine today.

"Sean." Harry walked to Sean and said very quietly, "When we were drawing lots just now, Joseph asked if we could cooperate?"

During the draw, the fifth group sent Harry over, and the second group, Joseph, volunteered. The two had some whispers, but Joseph's suggestion was not so easy to achieve.

The leader of the second group is obviously Watson, who doesn't talk much. He probably has no interest in cooperating with Sean.

If he wants to cooperate, he will also find Dusana's fourth group. There are four Durmstrang players in the fourth group, and Dusana has complete say.

"Boy, don't do anything stupid, I don't mind throwing you to the ghost." Mum saw Harry whispering something to Sean, so she threatened.

"Mother." Fleur planned what Mum would say.

Sean smiled and said, "Don't scare your teammates. Since we are divided into a group, we must unite. Do you understand unity?"

Sean's personal points are a little behind, and he also wants to regain some advantage in this game. If the points continue to lag behind, I am afraid that the next game will capsize.

There are three people from Babston in their group. Even though Sean is the strongest, he can only use the petrification spell now. The right to speak in the fifth group of this game actually belongs to Fleur.

"I don't care what your thoughts are. If you dare to hold back, I will be rude to him." Krum, who had been silent for the whole time, said coldly.

Although Durmstrang invited Watson and Dusana, two powerful foreign aids, how could Krum be willing to let outsiders help them win this honor? The Goblet of Fire must be ignited in his hands and belong to Germany. Armstrong's glory.
