Chapter 403 Preparations

In the mirror behind the bar, Harry saw the reflection of Draco Malfoy sitting in a dark corner with Pansy Parkinson.

Seeing Harry, Draco frowned, ignored him, picked up a potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although Harry was glad that Malfoy didn't bother him anymore and saved a lot of time, he was not used to such a calm Malfoy.

Hermione was holding three cups of butterbeer she bought from Ms. Rosmerta, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Harry rushing over.

"Alan, I have something to tell you." Harry nodded to Hermione and said directly to Alan.

"I'm afraid this is not a good place to talk, come with me." Alan saw the anxiety in Harry's eyes, and walked out the door without saying a word.

Hermione quickly followed behind them.

"He's crazy!" said Hermione in surprise, when Harry told what he'd seen of Krum. "It's January and it must be freezing cold!"

Allen quickly told Hermione the content of his second match.

"Where he came from is much colder than here." Hermione calmed down and began to analyze, "I think it's quite warm here for him."

Harry also told Alan about the fact that Moody stopped him: "This is the second time he has mentioned me! Such enthusiasm, it can't be because I am the famous Harry Potter or something!"

"Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to have a professor who cares about you. But Harry, I suggest that you find your godfather to learn Occlumency, it will be good for you." Allen suggested.

Harry decided that now wasn't the time to focus on Occlumency, until he survived the Trinity Tournament.

When Harry told Ginny about these things, she suggested that Harry listen to Allen and learn Occlumency well.

"Harry, Allen is a very wise man, you can't go wrong listening to him. Also, you must stay away from Ron recently. George and Weasley said that what he really might like is... Well, anyway, don't get too close to him until the truth comes to light." The charming little witch solemnly persuaded Harry to stay away from his own brother.

Harry was a little helpless. Although he had a falling out with Ron, he clearly knew that Ron was definitely not gay, and he even had a vague affection for Hermione that he didn't know about.

But since Ginny insisted, let's stay away from Ron for the time being, anyway, he doesn't necessarily like to see himself.

Just as Allen was sitting in the warm Three Broomsticks tavern, happily tasting butterbeer with Hermione and Luna, a golden phoenix feather appeared in front of him out of thin air, with a small roll of parchment tied on it .

"Dumbledore's letter." Hermione watched curiously as Allen removed the parchment from the phoenix's tail feathers, and with a "whoosh", the phoenix feathers disappeared without a trace in front of them.

Allen handed the parchment to Hermione and took a sip of beer comfortably. As far as he was concerned, what Dumbledore said did not bother him.

"What about Harry? Why is he doing this?" Hermione asked worriedly. Professor Moody actually tampered with the next game.

Although Hermione couldn't imagine that Professor Moody, who has always been loved by little Gryffindor wizards, would do such a thing, secretly bought some potions in Knockturn Alley that could drive aquatic creatures crazy, and poured them into the lake! In that case, the unsuspecting warriors will definitely encounter big trouble.

But Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn't lie about that.

Luna glanced at the letter in Hermione's hand, looked at Alan's expression, and stroked the air above her right shoulder under the surprised eyes of others.

The little wizards of Hogwarts who knew Luna sneered. They thought that the crazy girl Luna was ill again.

In fact, what they couldn't see was a little red dragon curled up on Luna's shoulder and sleeping soundly.

The whistle that Luna blew before was used to summon Lacey, and the collar around Lacey's neck can keep her invisible.

"Alan, Harry..." Before Hermione finished speaking, Luna drew out her wand and cast the ear-closing spell.

"Sorry." Hermione's voice was full of apology. She was so anxious just now that she ignored what this place was.

"It's okay, they are laughing at me." Luna said lightly.

"Thank you, Luna..." Although Hermione didn't interact with Harry as frequently as in the lower grades because of her busy schedule, she couldn't help worrying about him at this time. After all, they would still be together during class: "Ai Len, what about Harry?"

"Don't worry, the purpose of Moody's doing this is to allow Harry to pass the competition with a high score. Harry's life is not in danger at this time. Dumbledore specifically asked not to tell Harry that he hasn't learned Occlumency yet. It's easy to be seen through. Just take it as a training for him, don't tell him." Allen warned.

Allen told Hermione and Luna exactly what happened to Little Crouch. Hermione was even more concerned when she heard that Moody was Crouch Jr. using Polyjuice Potion as an impostor.

"But how do we deal with the crazy underwater creatures? If Moody wants to ensure that Harry gets a high score and advances, how does he ensure that those crazy underwater creatures don't attack Harry?" Hermione said in desperation. A series of questions popped up.

"Then I will give Harry special training so that he can deal with those crazy lake creatures, so it should be fine." Allen compromised in order to reassure Hermione.

Even Hermione, who was not relieved when she heard that Dumbledore had made arrangements, finally smoothed her frowning brows after hearing what Allen said, and drank butterbeer comfortably.

In fact, even without Harry, Alan planned to conduct a special training. The relationship between Albert and Fleur is getting better and better. Fleur doesn't have Dumbledore watching. It may be very difficult to deal with crazy underwater creatures.

But because she and Albert haven't reached the point of discussing marriage, Allen doesn't plan to let Fleur into the tower now, let alone those cherished potions and special wands.

So Allen decided to give her special training to help her master the bubble head spell, some convenient spell casting skills underwater, and some underwater magic.

Allen told Hermione and Luna about his plan, and Hermione offered to help with training, and Allen agreed.

Hermione is very smart, and has already mastered a lot of knowledge collected in the tower, and has accumulated experience in intensive training classes, which should be of great help to training Harry and Fleur.

These are trivial matters for Allen. What worries him the most is how will he tell who the hostage he has chosen is?

Although Alan wasn't sure what method the organizing committee of the Triwizard Tournament would take to determine their most precious object, since he had mastered the Occlumency Technique, they couldn't get the answer by secretly reading his Legilimency.
