Remember [New] in a second! [Hufflepuff's Gold Cup (damaged): Hogwarts founder Helga Hufflepuff's token, it may have magical powers before it is damaged, but now it's just an ordinary gold cup]

Tom played with the gold cup in his hand. This golden cup that once belonged to Hufflepuff, and later became Voldemort's Horcrux, has now become an ordinary cup that can no longer be ordinary. But it is not quite right to say that it is ordinary, because aside from the magic, this cup is made of pure gold, even if it loses all the magical effects, it is still worth a few dollars.

At this time, Hufflepuff's gold cup had a very obvious reddish-brown stripe, which looked like it was rusted. Yes, gold can rust too! Although the chemical properties of gold itself are extremely stable, its chemical affinity with sulfide is very strong, and it is easy to absorb hydrogen sulfide acid gases in the air, so that the surface appears dark colors such as orange and brown red. Not to mention the limited ancient technology, gold often contains a lot of impurities.

Tom knew that this line should be the mark left by Dumbledore after he slashed with the Gryffindor sword. Gryffindor's sword is a good thing. The silverware made by goblins can absorb things that can strengthen it. I don't know how many poisonous magical animals Gryffindor used to kill. Anyway, use it to Destroying a Horcrux has always been one sword at a time, and there is no need to make up the knife at all.

"What did you research?" Hermione leaned on Tom's shoulder a little bored, playing with her hair on her fingers while staring at the gold cup in Tom's hand.

"You can drink with it if you want." Tom put his cheek against the edge of Hermione's bun, rubbing it back and forth, rubbing his ears together.

"I don't want it." Hermione felt uncomfortable thinking that the cup had once been Voldemort's Horcrux, and she certainly wouldn't be drinking from it.

"Well, it's up to you..."

Hermione wanted to say something, but her face suddenly turned red, and she said in a low but hasty voice: "Tom, don't be like this...the library is a public place..."

"Oh? How do I remember someone was in the library... [oh]?"

Hermione's face was as red as the sunset.

"It was an accident..."

"Accident?"

"yes!"

…

When the two were frolicking, Professor McGonagall appeared, scaring the two of them.

"Five points will be deducted from Ravenclaw for making noise in the library." Professor McGonagall had also been young before, so she naturally knew what the young lovers were up to, so she deducted points mercilessly.

"Mr. Jodl, please come to my office after dinner today." After slightly punishing the two, Professor McGonagall said in a flat tone.

Tom:? ? ?

He could fit an egg in his mouth.

"Professor McGonagall, you must have made a mistake somewhere, right? This...how could it be me? You'd better ask someone else—of course, if it's Hermione, please allow me to refuse for her." Restricted by the confidentiality agreement, Tom He couldn't reveal too much, but he still chose to crazily hint at Professor McGonagall and ask her to choose someone else.

Yes, before the start of the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, the organizers will find the people most valued by the warriors, and then sink them to the bottom of the Black Lake. Warriors need to pass a series of tests to pass the level and rescue the people they value most.

Tom thought this was ridiculous. Who is the most important person to the Warriors? Isn't this up to the organizers to choose?

Although very idealistic, Tom also recognized it, and it was too outrageous to choose himself, right? Does anyone among these three warriors have an intersection with me? Tom thinks Dumbledore is up to something.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Tom, said nothing, and then left the library, leaving Tom sitting there with a strange expression on his face.

"So what's the content of the second project? Why are you so angry?" Hermione was extremely curious. She and Tom sat at a table in the back of the Charms room, chatting confidently and boldly.

This class was perfect for desertion, as the spell being practiced today was the banishing spell - the opposite of the Flying spell, which drives objects away from wizards, so there was a lot of turmoil in the room, and it gave Tom and Hermione a chance to talk Whisper.

"It's okay to tell you..." Tom told Hermione why Professor McGonagall came to him.

"To be honest, I was very surprised, because I couldn't figure out why it was me. If it was you, it would make sense, but why was it me who was chosen?"

Hermione: ...

"Perhaps you are the most important person to Mademoiselle Delacour," she said quietly.

"What are you kidding!" Tom was shocked, "The most important person to her should be her sister!"

"How do you know she has a sister?"

Tom: ...

I can't talk anymore today!

As a result, Tom ended up heading to Professor McGonagall's office at night. When he opened the door, he found that Qiu Zhang, Luna and Professor McGonagall were already waiting inside.

Tom raised his eyebrows, and it was clear now that Hermione was right. Cho Chang is Cedric's most important treasure, Luna is Krum's, and she is Fleur's after screening by elimination.

"Professor, there must be something wrong..." Tom felt his throat dry, what's the matter? There seems to be no intersection between him and Furong, right?

Why did you choose me? How do I explain this to Hermione?

Professor McGonagall would not show his cards to Tom until now.

It turned out that the organizer had found an opportunity to contact the three warriors, and hypnotized and questioned them. Afterwards, they also modified the memories of the three warriors.

The most important person in the hearts of the three warriors is based on the results of the inquiry.

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Qiu Zhang's face blushed, and Luna's eyes flashed with joy, but Tom's eyes were full of fear.

Seeing that Tom looked like he had seen a ghost, Professor McGonagall cleared his throat, "Yordell, in fact, you are not the first person Miss Delacour mentioned... It's just that her first choice left Huo some time ago. Gwartz, it's not very convenient right now, so we took her second most important person, or the person she misses the most."

Professor McGonagall seemed to be holding back a smile, "Miss Delacour has a lot of resentment towards you."

Tom's complexion suddenly became very exciting: Didn't he just reject her invitation to dance as a partner, as for?

"I hope you can help us, Yoddle." Professor McGonagall stared at Tom with serious eyes.

"She won't not get me in the end, will she?" Tom felt that the moment Fleur saw him at the bottom of the lake, she might choose to keep him there.

"It's okay, we will fish you out." Professor McGonagall promised.

Tom: ...

In the end, he reluctantly drank the potion provided by Professor McGonagall, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the game started as planned. The auditorium beside the Black Lake was filled to the brim with students from the three schools. Below the auditorium was a group of small wooden buildings connected together around the lake.

The students talked a lot, guessing what was inside the wooden building.

"There may be a wizard in every room, and the warriors must defeat the wizard to get to the next floor."

"How can there be so many wizards... have any seniors been brought into the project this time?"

"It doesn't seem to be. I don't see any missing faces."

Hearing the buzzing in her ears, Hermione was a little upset, she didn't understand why her boyfriend suddenly became the most important person to other women. Yesterday, before Tom could tell Hermione the truth, Professor McGonagall turned him over. So if she knew that Tom was Fleur's backup, or that he was on the list because he rejected Fleur, Hermione would laugh until her stomach ached.

She was just glad that she acted quickly, and now Tom was hers.

What else could Fu Rong do if she liked him? Tom Yodle's first kiss wasn't your Fleur's, it was me, Hermione Granger!

When the three warriors got together, they looked at each other silently.

Without him, the three of them were at a loss for the project in front of them.

After the first project ended, they didn't get much intelligence about the second project. At this time, the three people standing by the edge of the black lake all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

After waiting for everyone, Ludo Bagman walked to the most prominent position in the stands and explained the rules of the game to everyone.

"First of all, we want to review the results of the three warriors in the first round, Cedric Diggory, who scored 88 points in the first event, currently ranked first, from Durmstrang Viktor Krum scored 40 points and temporarily ranked second, Beauxbaton's Fleur Delacour - 32 points, she needs to work harder!" Ludo Bagman flushed, looking Very excited.

The reason for his excitement is simple, he doesn't need to pay back the money!

He owed a large amount of money to the goblins during the World Cup finals before. The background of these goblins was so deep that he, as a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, did not dare to renege on his debts, so he had to obediently find a way to pay back the money. However, there was a sudden thunderstorm at Gringotts a while ago, and a large group of high-level officials were imprisoned, and they are still locked up, including Bagman's creditors.

The creditor is gone, so naturally there is no need to pay back the money, which is why Bagman is so happy.

"In the second project, the warriors need to go through various tests to save the most important and most caring person in their hearts, and their "baby" is now... there—" Bagman roared, The finger suddenly pointed to the black lake.

"That's right, at the bottom of the Black Lake! We sank the most important people in the hearts of the three warriors to the bottom of the lake! They have three hours to get back what they took. If they haven't got it back after three hours... Hehehe!" Bagman's voice resounded across the lake, and the faces of the three warriors changed instantly.

Bagman didn't say what happened to the trio after the timeout, but his hey-hi-heh laugh was hardly reassuring.

The three of them immediately looked towards the lake, but as far as they could see, they couldn't see anything except the dark water of the lake.

The black water of the lake seems to be enough to swallow all hope and vitality. No one knows what is under the water. This challenge is enough to make people with deep-sea phobia die suddenly on the spot.

Looking at the deep and bottomless lake, Fu Rong's face turned pale all of a sudden. In her opinion, the person sunk in the black lake must be her sister! Before Voldemort and his Death Eaters made a big noise, for safety reasons, Fleur sent her sister back to her hometown to hide.

She didn't understand, she had already sent her sister back to her hometown, so how could she be involved?

Krum and Cedric also looked a little unnatural. They were all looking for countermeasures quickly, looking for ways to keep themselves underwater for several hours.

"We once said that the advantages of the first project will be brought into the second project, so next we invited three warriors to come over, and the organizer provided them with some small props to help them solve their problems." Bagman The voice rang in the ears of the three.

They immediately walked towards Bagman.

As soon as Bagman beckoned, a table appeared in front of the warriors, and there were two things on it. The one on the left looks like a tangle of gray-green rat tails, and the one on the right is a metal can with a dial on it, attached to a breathing mask, and a booklet pressed underneath.

Cedric, who came from a wizard family, was confused about the thing on the right, but he knew the plant on the left. It was something called gill grass, which could make people breathe underwater.

Fleur and Krum on the side knew a little about the Muggle world, so they recognized that the scuba lungs used by Muggles for diving were on the table. This is a self-contained underwater breathing device that allows divers to breathe freely with it.

"In front of you are two small props that can help you. The gill grass on the left needs 30 points to be redeemed, and the scuba on the right is 20 points—don't worry, I have to tell you something, you You can’t directly enter the Black Lake, you need to go through those wooden houses first, but we can still simplify the process through points!” Bagman stopped Cedric’s hand that was stretching towards the gill grass, and motioned him to listen to himself first. finished.

"There are a total of three tests in those wooden buildings, but you can choose to skip the test by spending points - 30 points for the first test, no deception!"

Hearing that there was still such a rule, the three warriors immediately made plans in their hearts.

There are only two props, that is to say, if the two people in front choose to buy props~lightnovelpub.net~, the third Furong in the row will have nothing to choose. But Krum's points are a bit embarrassing, he can't skip the level after buying the props, and if he is stuck in the level and can't get out, then it's not good...

Props also have advantages and disadvantages. Gill grass is better than scuba. Not to mention whether the three wizards know how to use scuba, the weight of scuba alone is enough to make them seriously consider it. There are levels with a lot of exercise in it, so you will definitely be exhausted.

"Okay, let's choose according to the scores! Mr. Digory, have you considered it?" Ludo Bagman looked at Cedric with some expectation.

Cedric made his decision after a little thought.
