Sorcerer Supreme at Hogwarts (English Versión)-Chapter 140: duck

"Time to start this fabulous day! And what better way than with a friendly competition between three schools?" said Ludo as people began to laugh.

"We have four champions, but only one will emerge victorious. I hope you've all picked your favorites."

"Yes!!!

"Harry!

"Fleur!

"Wanda!

"Viktor!"

Everyone shouted, cheering for their champion with excitement, while the contestants stood waiting for the moment to enter the maze. Meanwhile, Headmaster Dumbledore was telling them to be careful and that if they felt in danger, they should use their wands.

"Nervous, Harry?" asked Sirius as he stood beside his godson to encourage him.

"A little. But we're near the end of the school year, so I expected a bit of danger as usual," said Harry with a conflicted smile.

"Well, the school wasn't this dangerous when I attended it with your parents," Sirius said, unable to find other words to say.

Meanwhile, Natasha was the one with Wanda.

"You didn't even prepare, did you?"

"Not at all."

"Sigh."

Fleur was accompanied by Stephen not far away.

"If you run into Harry or Wanda, knock them out and keep going," Stephen said quickly.

"Haha, obviously I can't do that to my siblings-in-law," Fleur replied quickly. After practicing with Stephen and telling him about her little complex, she was more relaxed. She didn't feel it was imperative to win, so she would take it quite calmly.

"Tsk. I would've put laxatives in their drinks before starting. Anything for victory," Stephen said with an evil smile.

"You didn't, did you?" Fleur asked quickly.

"No... After Wanda's prank, Grandma doesn't let us near the kitchen when the elves are preparing dinner or lunch," Stephen admitted quickly.

"Sigh."

In Viktor's section, he stood next to Grindelwald, who was quite calm, honestly. Despite being the last school in points, he had only come to enjoy a trip and meet an old friend; these competition things didn't matter to him at all.

"Viktor, just don't die," said the Durmstrang Headmaster calmly.

"...Yes, Headmaster," Viktor replied.

"With all the champions ready, we will now begin this final test. On this occasion, the contestants must seek the cup located in the middle of the maze. But be careful, the maze is filled with trials and magical creatures that will do their best to get in your way. Don't worry, the professors are on alert at strategic points to save students who need help. Now, let the final task begin!" Ludo said as everyone started shouting with excitement.

The first to enter was Wanda, and after several minutes, the next would follow, according to the positions they had based on their points. Therefore, Fleur would be second and Harry third. Obviously, Krum would be the last.

So, Wanda entered the maze while the plant-made wall closed behind her. Luckily, a giant screen appeared so everyone could see what Wanda was doing inside the maze, where not even all the noise from outside could reach.

"Then, let's see how Wanda takes advantage of the few minutes she has to take the lead... Did she just give up?" Ludo said as he saw Wanda casting a red light into the sky. "Wait, did she just quit? Just like that?" Ludo asked, confused.

Then, everyone saw the wall where Wanda had disappeared open up again, and she walked out calmly under everyone's surprised gazes.

"I'm bored already. I want to see how Harry performs," Wanda said as she walked toward the section where her family and friends were.

"Well... Since Wanda has withdrawn from the competition, it would be pointless to wait any longer for the second champion to enter," Ludo said. "So, let Fleur Delacour enter the maze," Ludo announced, quickly acting professionally.

Fleur was a little surprised, but she quickly entered the maze under Stephen's gaze. The wall behind her closed, blocking the direct path to where the others were.

"Why did you give up?" Stephen asked as he approached where Wanda was sitting calmly.

Wanda looked at him intently.

"I didn't put my name in the Goblet," Wanda said calmly.

"What?" everyone around her said.

"Why didn't you say that before?" Stephen asked quickly.

"I just wanted to see what those guys were planning, but in the end, they didn't do anything, so I got bored," Wanda said calmly as she shrugged. freēwēbnovel.com

"Wait, but that day you threw everyone's names into the Goblet," Hermione said quickly.

"Yes, but I never wrote my name by hand. Dumbledore said each person had to write their name. I did it with magic, not with a quill, so it should be the same as the rest," Wanda explained.

"So this is a trap for both you and Harry. Isn't he in trouble too?" Ron said quickly, realizing something.

"Harry will be fine. They don't want to kill him; they need him alive. But Wanda could be different," Stephen said as he recalled what they managed to extract from Barty Crouch Jr., who, under several truth potions, revealed more or less Voldy's plan, which of course was destined to fail.

"I don't think it's the same person who set the trap for Harry," Wanda said quickly.

"Why?" Stephen asked.

"We all knew the fake Moody put Harry's name, but we never saw who put mine," Wanda said seriously.

"If they haven't done anything until now, what could they want?" Hermione asked.

"Maybe they were taking advantage of Harry's trap, but that would mean they also know those idiots' plan," Stephen said quickly.

"It's better to stay alert with Harry then," Natasha said quickly as everyone watched the screen since Harry had entered the maze.

Harry was running through the darkness of the maze, looking around cautiously because he felt that at any moment, some creature would jump out to attack him.

Tony had taught him how to navigate a maze, so he was using that technique while running.

Meanwhile, everyone else was watching on the screen as all the competitors advanced quickly.

"Oh, it looks like Viktor has to run faster, or the walls will catch him," Ludo said as everyone watched Viktor run, and behind him, the walls were closing in rapidly.

"It looks like he made it. Viktor is safe, but now he has to face... What the hell is that?" Ludo asked someone next to him.

"Blast-Ended Skrewts? Where did those things come from?" he asked quickly upon hearing the name of the creatures that looked like headless crabs, with tails on both ends like scorpions.

"Hmm... On Fleur Delacour's side, she seems quite relaxed as she walks through the maze. Still, she appears to be slowly approaching where the cup is," Ludo said, watching Fleur look around as she walked.

"Oh, it looks like her calm stroll is interrupted by a giant spider," Ludo said as Fleur, upon seeing the spider, started running to get away from it.

"It looks like Harry also found something that stopped his path. It seems to be a sphinx. Now let's see if Harry decides to take the risk and answer or take another path," Ludo said with interest as he watched Harry's screen.

"First, think of the person who lives disguised,

Who deals in secrets and speaks nothing but lies.

Next, tell me what's always the last thing you'll fix,

The middle of the middle and the end of the end?

And finally, give me the sound often heard,

During the search for a word hard to find.

Now link them all and answer me this:

What creature wouldn't you be willing to kiss?"

The sphinx, a magical creature with a lion's body and a woman's head, stared intently at Harry.

"Spider?" Harry said, hesitating and ready to fight just in case.

The sphinx looked at Harry for a few seconds and then moved aside, letting him continue.

Harry quickly followed the path but heard the sound of something approaching from another corridor. When he looked in that direction, he saw Fleur while a giant spider lay on the ground with its legs tied. Fleur looked at it with disgust and a bit of fear.

"I hate spiders," Fleur said as she turned around and found herself face-to-face with Harry. "Hello, Harry," she said calmly as she greeted her brother-in-law and then continued walking as if nothing had happened. Harry nodded back at her and continued his own path.

Meanwhile, Ludo commented outside the maze:

"To be honest, I expected at least a slight confrontation."

"Then Harry would have to live in the maze for the rest of his life for attacking his sister-in-law," Fred said, laughing next to Stephen.

"If Harry could even beat Fleur. Remember, she's been training with the boss since she was a child," George said quickly.

As Harry continued his path at a fast pace, he saw the glow of the cup and quickly approached.

"Sigh. Looks like I'm the only one," Harry said as he looked around, searching for the others. Then, he touched the cup.

"It looks like our winner is Harry Potter Flamel... Eh... Where's Harry?" Ludo said as Harry's screen turned black.
