Latest website: Ministry of Magic, Auror Command.

Even though it was eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were still bright here, and in the headquarters, which was about the size of the Inquisition, there were still dozens of Aurors busy with work that had not been completed during the day.

Sitting at the workstation, Tonks, who had just completed a smuggling case data collection, stretched lazily, revealing his body that was bulging forward and backward under his specially trimmed robe.

"Oh, my God! I really don't understand, why did I choose to be an Auror in the first place! There is no exciting spell shooting at all, only day and night sorting information in the office! organising materials!"

She complained loudly without any consideration, even though her immediate boss was sitting next to her now.

Kingsley certainly wasn't going to teach Tonks a lesson about that, maybe if Moody was still around.

He knew that these words were just a whimper of this non-mainstream witch.

"After finishing the information, you can't get off work, wait here with me." He said calmly.

Suddenly, Tonks' eyes were as big as bull's eyes.

This is not a metaphor, she really opened her eyes so big that her eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets.

"Why! It's very late now! Staying up late will make the skin of a beautiful lady worse!"

Kingsley didn't explain why, he just raised his eyelids at the still crowded Auror office.

"Didn't you find out that as long as the Auror has no mission in the Ministry tonight, everyone else is here?"

Tonks glanced at the office in confusion, and found that it was already this time, but no one got off work at all.

Kingsley looked at a document in his hand and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Be mentally prepared in advance. It's possible that this is just an ordinary overtime, or it's possible... the magic spell you're looking forward to is coming soon."

...

Now that Harry asked such a question, it was certainly impossible for Cedric to continue walking with him.

If he just leaned on him and pushed all the way, and finally reached the middle of the maze and saw the trophy, Cedric would never stop and fight with Harry.

Now that we are separated from here, we can still win the competition with our own strength.

So after passing under the obstruction of the Sphinx, Cedric and Harry parted ways again.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the road becomes very complicated as it goes deeper into the center of the maze.

After walking forward for about ten or twenty minutes, Harry finally came to an open space from the narrow passage.

A stone pier stands in the center of the open space, and above the stone pier is the goal of all the warriors in this Triwizard Tournament - the Triwizard Cup!

The pure gold trophy shone in the moonlight, as if a golden streamer was flowing on it. As long as it was obtained, it would not only become the final winner of the game, but also the ultimate prize of a thousand Galleons.

But Harry didn't show any ecstatic expression. He stared at the trophy instead and frowned. Although he didn't look with his eyes, he somehow carefully explored everything in this clearing.

In addition to the unremarkable trophy, there was a large spider hiding in the shadows under the maze hedge.

This is obviously a magical species, otherwise it wouldn't be as big as a car, but it doesn't look like a giant eight-eyed spider, but other species.

It was hiding in the shadows, apparently waiting for someone to get carried away with the trophy before making a sneak attack.

A very insidious level, but...that's all?

Harry's brows furrowed even tighter. This time he looked around, including the sky and the ground, and found nothing unusual.

This is like an ordinary race finish, and the sneak attacked spider is also within a reasonable difficulty range.

But just because it seems reasonable, it is even more unreasonable.

Harry tentatively took two steps in the direction of the trophy, to see if there were any other hidden mechanisms he hadn't discovered.

But aside from the fact that the spider found that his steps were becoming more eager to make a sneak attack, there were no surprises.

Seeing his unhurried appearance, the spider hidden in the dark has finally completely cleared its patience. It rushed out of the dark shadow and stretched out its eight legs like a black wind towards Harry's position. ran over.

Before Harry could start fighting back, a spell came from behind him.

"Dizzy to the ground!"

The sound of the incantation sounded in the blind spot of his field of vision, and a normal person could not judge whether the target of the spell was himself or the spider.

However, Harry was unmoved. He seemed to have eyes behind him. He didn't need to look to know that Cedric's spell was aimed at spiders.

The red magic beam hit the belly of the big spider, but it only knocked its body back a few meters to the side, preventing it from attacking Harry, and did not let it pass out directly.

"Watch out!" Cedric yelled at Harry before he cast a petrifying spell on the spider.

Harry didn't cooperate with Cedric to cast the spell. He seemed to be dumbfounded by this "sudden" spider attack, and he froze in place and didn't move.

But in fact, his attention has been tense, on the surrounding environment.

The spider has high magic resistance, and both of Cedric's spells hit it, but neither did much effective damage to it.

After being attacked, the spider's hatred target naturally shifted to Cedric. It directly abandoned Harry who was standing by and rushed towards Cedric who was fighting heroically.

The two sides experienced a fierce fight, and finally the spider, which had eaten nearly ten spells of Cedric, finally fell down.

Cedric was gasping for breath. He had just been tortured by the Cruciatus~lightnovelpub.net~ and now he was using so much energy that if he faced Harry again, he would definitely lose.

But during the time he was entangled with the spider, Harry had countless opportunities to get the trophy directly, but he did not do so, which made Cedric look at him very strangely.

"You beat Harry, and I can't be your opponent anymore."

Harry seemed to be indifferent to what he said, but carefully studied the surrounding plants and trees, as if he could study flowers from them.

"No, you won. It was a great showdown. You are definitely the best of the sixth and seventh year students at Hogwarts right now, there's no doubt about that."

Hearing Harry's seemingly casual remarks, Cedric felt absurd.

As if the man standing in front of him was not Harry, but some familiar professor at Hogwarts.
