Chapter 425 Valentine’s Day (Modified)
By February 14th, the weather above Hogwarts Castle seemed to be exceptionally clear. During breakfast, the clouds on the ceiling of the auditorium turned pink.
The little wizards in the castle were excitedly talking about this unique Valentine's Day, not only because there was no need for classes on this day, nor because the third game of the Triwizard Tournament was to be held in the afternoon, but because Paddy Mrs. Fu Tea House has provided sponsorship and a special Valentine's Day event will be held today at the Black Lake.
Around ten o'clock, the little wizards came to the Black Lake one after another. An open-air stage has been set up on the grass by the lake. The person in charge of the selection is a Hufflepuff named Elena. She has long brown hair that hangs down to her waist. At this time, she is directing with her wand. Various exquisite refreshments flew to the long table under the stage for the little wizards to take on their own.
Elena is Hermione's right-hand assistant in the training class. In fact, most of the wizards responsible for this activity are wizards in Allen's training class. For example, the wizard who was waving his wand to hang a fat golden angel on the tree—Douglas North, a pure-blood wizard from Slytherin, was also Hermione's right-hand man in the training class.
Allen leaned under a tree and looked at the scene in front of him leisurely. The atmosphere did not feel like it was on the eve of a competition at all. Instead, it seemed like he had arrived at a resort, and the air was full of the smell of love.
Even the tree behind Allen was covered with fat golden angels. These cute little guys kept throwing candies to the passing wizards.
The stage is completely open. As long as you have the courage, you can perform on stage. Anyone who participates in the performance will receive a lunch voucher worth five galleons at Mrs. Puddifu's Tea House.
Singing, dancing, imitation shows... there are even magic performances. There are many young wizards participating in the performance. The five galleons lunch coupon is very tempting to them. This is also an honest way to invite the person you like to go to the place full of magic. The perfect excuse for a small teahouse with a romantic atmosphere.
Allen watched two pure-blood wizards perform the lute, and a Muggle-born wizard performed a tap dance. The most impressive one was a man in his 40s who was said to be hiding his identity in the Muggle world under the name of a magician. A half-blood wizard performed a magic trick that made Hogwarts Castle disappear from the audience's eyes.
After that, Lee Jordan, a Gryffindor student and Quidditch commentator, walked onto the stage. He greeted everyone passionately, and then started a talk show: "I still don't understand why the public toilet is called Bathroom, until yesterday I went to the Pig’s Head Bar, which didn’t provide toilet paper, and I didn’t bring any…”
As he spoke, he danced and gestured. Everyone listened attentively and burst into laughter from time to time.
After Lee Jordan finished speaking, everyone applauded and cheered for him. He jumped off the small stage with a rhythm. North raised his hand and exchanged a high-five with him to express congratulations.
The next person to appear was Michael Corner. The half-blood man cleared his throat and began to sing a song called "Yesterday" by the Muggle band The Beatles.
Although there is no sentence that is not off-key, Michael Koner's long hair draped thickly on his head is somewhat similar in appearance.
North tried his best to accompany him, but Allen could see that he was playing so hard that he probably wanted to drop the piano and block his ears with his hands.
Draco Malfoy in the audience stared at Michael with his eyes wide open. He shouted to Pansy next to him: "It turns out that in the song we sang when we welcomed Beauxbatons and Durmstrang at Hogwarts, It’s not a wild boar caught in a trap, it’s Michael Corner singing!”
After the performance, everyone gathered at the lake. For the following activities, the little wizards voluntarily signed up to imitate the contestants of the Three Witches Competition for a winter swimming competition. The winner will have the right to go to the small stage to express his love to his sweetheart, and will also receive a par. Grand prize for free meals at Mrs. Defoe’s Teahouse for the entire year.
"The lake is great. It looks very clean. The sun is shining brightly today, so it shouldn't be too cold." Cedric Diggory leaned down and splashed the lake water confidently.
After several splashes one after another, Cedric turned his head and saw that all the contestants on the stage who wanted to express their feelings had fallen directly into the cold water. He shouted in horror: "Autumn!"
Without thinking, he jumped into the lake and looked to the bottom of the lake.
Qiu Zhang lurked very deep underwater, almost close to the bottom of the lake. She was motionless, as if she had no breath, and her arms were swaying up and down with the water.
Cedric quickly dived in front of her, grabbed her arm, then put his hands under her armpits and lifted her toward the water.
Cedric brought Cho Chang to the surface and gasped for air, his lungs almost exploding. He was probably too panicked, he was too worried.
At this moment, he heard laughter. It was Qiu Zhang who had woken up and was laughing at him. Cedric's hands were still holding her armpits, but unexpectedly she turned around, threw herself on him, and kissed his lips fiercely.
"Congratulations to Cedric, you won first place in this competition!" Elena's voice sounded.
Cedric looked confused, and the water droplets on his head slid across his cheeks, making him look a little stupid, but this stupidity was rewarded with another passionate kiss from Qiu.
"Just like the warriors in the Three Witches Tournament have to save the person they miss the most, what you have to do is to save your significant other without knowing it, and the one who comes up fastest wins." Elena explained with a smile. road.
Cedric was relieved and went ashore to accept the cheers of the crowd. After changing into clean clothes, he walked onto the small stage with Qiu and shouted on the stage: "Qiu Zhang, I love you!"
Although the two of them were equally embarrassed and blushing, their eyes showed endless affection and joy when they met each other. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
Alan on the shore also felt warm in his heart, not only because he witnessed the love between Cedric Diggory and Qiu Zhang, but he also received three gifts from three girls.
Hermione gave Allen a gray scarf knitted by herself; Penello gave Allen a note with red lip prints, asking Allen to meet in the Forbidden Forest tonight; Luna gave Allen a Allen could tell at a glance that the necklace and the pendant on it were the pattern of the Three Deathly Hallows, exactly the same as Mr. Xenophilius's.
After putting the gift in the space, Allen once again looked at Cedric and Qiu Zhang, who were cuddling closely together not far away. He must have found happiness this time. Although Cedric lost the honor of becoming a warrior, he would not die or become a vampire. Being ordinary may not be a kind of happiness.
In fact, they do go longer. Amos Diggory of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and his wife were at home discussing plans to visit their son Cedric's girlfriend, Autumn Chang, at home tonight.
"You will drive when we go to the Muggle neighborhood. Don't forget that I ate a lot of grapes three days ago." Amos rubbed his stomach, which had been constipated for several days, and said to his wife with a worried look on his face.
"Well, it would be troublesome if the Muggle police were checking for drunk driving." Mrs. Diggory calmly stuffed a box of wine into the trunk.
The afternoon sun was warmer than in the morning, and the little wizards gathered on the Quidditch field one after another. The Quidditch field was more than double the size of usual, and the densely packed seats were filled with wizards who came to watch.
Six huge magic light screens that can be broadcast live simultaneously are suspended in the sky. The billboards on the fence surrounding the arena are gleaming and constantly changing advertisements.
