As soon as John appeared, Goyle and Crabbe surrounded him.
"John! Draco is missing!"
Goyle and Crabbe said anxiously, "We searched many places, but we couldn't find it!"
Hearing this, John glanced at Draco's bed.
As expected, Draco was nowhere to be seen on the luxurious four-poster bed.
John nodded and said:
"Don't worry, it's just some small activities. He will be back tomorrow."
Gower said:
"Do you know where he is?"
"Yes, I know." John said calmly, "He is safe, but I can't tell you the specific situation. I can only say that it is related to the second project."
Crabbe exclaimed:
"Wow! Draco actually got to be involved in a second project? That's amazing!"
"It is indeed amazing, but the one who is truly amazing is John, right? He is the truly strongest warrior! The pride of our Slytherins, and even the entire Hogwarts!"
Gore said excitedly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something and quickly added:
"John, you must not let Draco know what I just said! Otherwise he will be angry!"
John nodded and looked out the window.
Through the small window, he could directly see the scenery at the bottom of the Black Lake.
At this time, a mermaid girl with a handsome face was lying on the window edge, looking at John with interest.
The corners of John's mouth raised slightly, and he winked at the mermaid meaningfully.
The mermaid girl's face suddenly turned red.
She covered her face with her hands and peeked at John only through her fingers.
It wasn't until John's eyes showed questioning and urging that the other party nodded vigorously and then seemed to swim away.
at the same time.
Inside the Slytherin girls' dormitory.
Alice was also staring out the window at the bottom of the Black Lake.
"Miss Alice Lopez, are you ready?"
A female staff member from the Ministry of Magic asked.
Alice didn't respond, she still stared out the window.
Same as Draco.
She will also participate in the second project this time.
The identity she uses is Klum's most cherished treasure.
This is actually quite disgusting.
Alice doesn't have the slightest fondness for Klum, the so-called 'idol of thousands of boys and girls'.
Unless necessary, I don't even want to have any contact with the other party.
But what she had to admit was that this also gave her a chance.
An opportunity to get up close and personal with John.
This was different from the usual situation where she would pester John and follow him wherever he went.
Special environments can give rise to different feelings and emotions.
Deep in the Black Lake, in such an environment full of danger and urgent pressure, Alice believed that John would have a different view of it.
I remember there is some specific theory about this situation in the Muggle world.
what do you say that is?
Alice forgot.
Alice shook her head and sighed deeply.
To be honest, Alice herself didn't have much confidence in this so-called opportunity.
And it’s actually quite unethical to do so.
After all, John and Michelle can now be said to be officially together.
But she still wasn't willing to give in!
She doesn't want to give up on John!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she is willing to try.
Even if the result of the attempt is futile or even irreversible, she is still willing to do it!
"...We at the Ministry of Magic have made sufficient preparations to ensure the safety of you hostages at the bottom of the Black Lake. So, Miss Alice Lopez, there is nothing to be afraid of. Please hurry up! We really don't have enough time.
…”
The staff of the Ministry of Magic are still urging patiently.
But this time, Alice turned around before she could finish speaking.
She nodded towards the staff, and then drank the bottle of potion on the table in one gulp.
The moment the potion entered her throat, Alice almost lost consciousness immediately.
Her body softened.
The staff immediately supported her, then breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other female staff behind her:
"Set off!"
…
Early next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the cold fog and shone on the ground, the entire Hogwarts gradually became lively.
Almost everyone got up early.
Slytherin, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff all gathered in their respective house lounges, waiting for the warriors belonging to their houses.
As for Ravenclaw.
Since there are no warriors directly under Ravenclaw.
They could only wait pitifully in the foyer, and the atmosphere didn't look very enthusiastic.
And John and others did not disappoint everyone.
As if they had agreed, they left the dormitory twenty minutes before the game started.
Amid cheers, they gathered in the foyer with students from their respective colleges.
Then they nodded to each other, and with John, who currently had the highest score, as the leader, they led everyone towards the venue by the black lake.
The temperature outside is still cold, but the hearts of everyone at Hogwarts are full of excitement and enthusiasm.
Everyone started singing the Hogwarts school song loudly.
This song originally had no specific melody or lyrics, and it sounded chaotic.
But now when so many people started singing together, the momentum was unexpectedly strong.
Especially when paired with John's indifferent expression, which seemed to ignore everything, the pressure it brought was even stronger.
When everyone arrived at the stands that had been set up by the Black Lake, the powerful momentum almost frightened the Beauxbatons present.
Each of them looked pale and their bodies were trembling.
"A bunch of savages!"
A Beauxbatons girl complained in a low voice.
These words seemed strong, but there was a hint of trembling and fear in her voice.
On the field below, Furong, who had just arrived, gritted her teeth.
There are four warriors in Hogwarts.
One of them is the hopelessly tough John Shafiq!
How can she defeat such a terrifying enemy?
Compared with Beauxbatons, Durmstrang is much better.
It was as if their minds were naturally relatively simple. Not only did Krum on the field look distracted, but the other Durmstrangs in the stands were also very curious and excited about the arrival of Hogwarts and others.
.
Some Durmstrang boys even sang along to the Hogwarts school song, causing Karkaroff to roll his eyes in the stands.
"John, are you ready?"
When all the students at Hogwarts were seated, Bagman came over and said to John with a smile.
John nodded to him, and then nodded to Dumbledore and others at a table not far away covered with a golden tablecloth.
It is worth mentioning that.
Crouch was not present again today.
The person who replaced him was still Percy.
Taking off his robe, John revealed a pure black thermal swimsuit underneath.
This was specially made by John in the Muggle world.
At the same time, he also commissioned Borgin-Bock to add a [thermal insulation and anti-penetration charm] to his clothes, and the effect was very good.
John also matched Michelle and Harry with the same swimsuits.
John's action also attracted exclamations from the stands.
There's no way around it, John's figure is just too good.
That swimsuit almost perfectly showed off his streamlined muscles.
The only person on the scene who could rival him was Klum, a professional athlete.
As for other people, such as Harry, who has a skinny figure that no one else is willing to take a look at.
Almost everyone was staring closely at John and others.
Especially the girls, their eyes are so hot that they can almost melt the ice and snow.
Even Fleur, who was a warrior, couldn't help but glance secretly at John.
The only woman present who was not interested in this was probably Madame Maxime.
After all, as hybrid giants, strong muscles are too common for them.
Want to see muscles?
Just look at yourself in the mirror at night.
"Listen, everyone, our warriors are already in their positions. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second project will begin. They have a full hour to take back what was taken away from their hands. I count to three. One...two
……three!"
The sharp whistle echoed in the cold, still air.
A burst of cheers and applause erupted from the stands.
