Chapter 693 Entering the Lake

"Ewen, Hermione, you are here!" Ron sat down and took a piece of bread for himself, and said proudly, "I was surrounded by Lavender and her friends just now, and they wanted to know how I was in the water. Breathe below.?? No way, girls are like this, I have to let them understand that this is not an easy thing..."

"We don't care about you and Lavender." Hermione said dissatisfiedly, looking at Ron angrily, "You came too late, the warriors must gather in front of the castle before eight o'clock, wait instruct."

"I know, it's still too late, I'm counting the time!" Ron said indifferently, stuffing the food into his mouth, "By the way, do you know where Harry has been? He didn't come back last night, did he?" Sirius was looking for him..."

"Of course he's in the lake," said Hermione impatiently.

"Lake?!" Ron was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why did Harry go there?"

"Don't you understand that the second game requires the warriors to go to the bottom of the lake to find their most important person, and your most important person is Harry!" said Hermione, dissatisfied with Ron's lack of understanding, "He's already there waiting for you!"

"My God, I'm going to save Harry under the lake?!" Ron said in a panic, suddenly becoming tense, "No one told me this, I heard the singing of the mermaid inside the golden egg, and I thought I was going to find Harry." What is it!"

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but start to worry, Harry was waiting to be rescued by himself at the bottom of the big lake.

He touched the gill grass in his pocket, what if he couldn't find Harry in an hour? !

When he thought of the lyrics, he would lose him forever, Ron panicked, not as relaxed as before.

"How could they do this, Harry doesn't have gill grass, how can he breathe under the lake?!" Ron said anxiously, "I can't find him in an hour, Ivan, what should I do?"

"I don't know!" said Gabriel, drinking milk from a cup.

If she knew what to do, she wouldn't sit here and worry!

Hearing her answer, Ron was stunned for a while, as if he didn't expect Ivan to answer like this...

"You just have to do it according to the usual training time!" Hermione said quickly, "Eat the gill weed by the lake, find Harry in the lake, and bring Harry back, it's that simple."

Knowing the truth of everything, she knew that Ron could never succeed, as long as she protected herself.

"Okay, let's go now!"

Ron swallowed the food in his mouth and followed Hermione and Gabriel out of the castle.

They went out through the two oak doors and out into the sunny cold field.

Going down the lawn to the lake, you can see the seats that surrounded Huolongchang in November last year, and now they are lined up on the other side of the lake. Many people have already sat on them, reflected in the lake below. reflection.

They went around the huge lake and headed there.

The referee's table was located in front of the audience, near the lake, covered with a golden tablecloth. Dumbledore, Karkaroff, Madame Maxime, Fudge, and Ludo Bagman were already sitting there.

Other teachers and Aurors stood at the judge's table, and they would be responsible for maintaining order during the game.

Ron waved to Lavender in the audience, and then walked towards the referee table.

Not long ago, he had also received a letter from Percy, saying that he would replace Mr. Crouch as the referee.

Ron thought it was powerful for him, no matter how badly he performed, Percy couldn't give him a low grade.

But now, because of the timing of Mr Crouch's disappearance, Percy is under investigation.

Sirius told them that the Ministry didn't want to make public about Mr. Crouch's disappearance, but they took Percy in and questioned him about Mr. Crouch's instructions, as if thinking they might not have been written by Crouch.

Percy is under a lot of stress, and his fledgling career goes awry, and it's worse than killing him.

Under such circumstances, he would naturally not be able to serve as a referee at Hogwarts!

"You're here, Ron!" Ludo Bagman greeted him with a smile on his face, took the initiative to replace an Auror, and led Ron to the place where the warriors gathered. what?"

"Just found out!" Ron replied, "I can't believe it..."

"Yeah, I can't believe it either!" Bagman said, lowering his voice again, "Listen, I just found out the location of the mermaid village from Alastor, and he went down there yesterday, it's in the northwest face, don’t swim anywhere else.”

"Thanks!" said Ron in surprise, looking at Ludo Bagman.

He already knew where the mermaid village was, but he didn't expect that Bagman would actually help him at this time.

"You're welcome, you know, I want to help you win the game!" Bagman said, returning to his normal voice, "Okay, you go over there, the other warriors are waiting there!"

When Ron passed, Cedric, Krum, and Fleur were already lined up on the bank, ten feet apart.

Ron was last in line, next to Krum.

Krum was in his swimming trunks and had his wand out and ready.

As expected of a world-class pursuer, Krum's physique is really strong. There is still nearly an hour before the start of the game, and he is preparing. Ron hesitated, but decided to wear clothes... ..

After a while, Professor Moody wandered over, inspected each warrior, and gave some precautions.

Then there was Sirius and the Aurors, and Ron didn't understand why they had to check so many times.

Just when he was a little impatient, he saw Bagman standing up from the referee table. He pointed his wand to his throat, just like in the World Cup, and said, "The voice is loud!"

So his voice was like thunder, passing across the dark black lake to the full-seat stands opposite.

"Listen, everyone, our warriors are in their positions. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second task begins. They have a full hour to recover what has been taken from them. I count to three, one, two, three!"

A shrill whistle echoed in the cold, still air, and cheers and applause erupted from the stands.

Ron didn't wait and see what the other warriors were doing. He took out the handful of gill grass from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and waded into the lake as he had practiced before. It was so cold, he felt the skin of his legs burning hot, like it was on fire.

The further he walked, the deeper the lake was, and the drenched robe fell heavily. 8 For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
