Chapter 173 The 2nd Project
Like an invisible hand controlling the flow of time, January passed so quickly and February came in the blink of an eye.
With the arrival of Valentine's Day, students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will stay in Hogwarts Castle longer.
As soon as dinner time arrived, owls flew in and out one after another. Almost all the owls raised in the school and the owls in the Hogsmeade village post office were out delivering confession letters to the students.
Gloria found Conrad's letter among many confession postcards, about Fudge's attitude towards Hogwarts.
Miss Slytherin:
Everything went smoothly at the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Malfoy gave me some secret help, which allowed me to get to know the officials of various departments of the Ministry of Magic more quickly.
Although I have just arrived, my relatives are still abroad and there is no help from the UK. Fudge has gradually trusted me in view of the good reputation of my previous reports. As you expected, he still hinted to Rita Skeeter that he hopes to see more reports on Hogwarts. I think Skeeter will contact you.
Fudge will appear in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament and witness the birth of the first champion of the restarted tournament.
——Your partner
Gloria calmly put away the letter. Sure enough, besides this letter, there was another letter from Skeeter, which said that it was not good to ignore Fudge's hint.
She thought about it and simply wrote down that Bagman cheated people out of money for gambling and had a conflict of interest with the goblins. As for the release time, of course, she set it to be when the Triwizard Tournament was about to end.
Fudge might not like this director who ate and gambled at the same time. When Conrad said something about inserting 'his own people', Skeeter's mission would be vaguely explained.
After writing, Amy looked up and was about to peck the owl next to her, "Amy——"
The eagle owl retracted its head, and more owls flew over without landing on the table, dropping the envelope directly from the air.
After tying the addressed envelope to its feet, Amy rubbed her hand before flying away.
Turning around, I saw Draco with a resentful look on his face, "What's wrong?"
The boy's eyes fell on the pile of postcards and envelopes on the table, "My girlfriend is too popular."
In the entire auditorium, Gloria, Fleur and Krum's seats were the busiest. In addition to the full seats of letters, there were also many owl feathers of different colors.
Gloria picked up a feather and tickled Draco's hand. "There is a letter on your desk, too."
The boy swept the letter on the table aside and said, "I won't touch these things. The competition is about to start. How is your spell practice going?"
"Very good." Gloria looked at him steadily. "You will receive a package soon. Remember, it is from me. Wear it immediately after receiving it."
It is now basically certain that the most reluctant treasure is the important person in the warrior's heart, and Draco will inevitably soak at the bottom of the lake.
"What is it?" Draco was very curious. Could it be that there was more than one Valentine's Day gift?
Gloria smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."
the other side--
Hermione held the letter in her hand, which was clearly signed by Krum. The letter expressed his affection and appreciation for her in a restrained and sincere manner.
Harry sat between her and Ron. He himself had received more than a dozen love letters. After becoming a warrior, the girls were particularly enthusiastic about him.
"Ron, you have a love letter too." Harry saw the letter in front of Ron, which was unsigned.
But Ron didn't look happy after receiving the love letter. He looked at Hermione with complicated eyes and said, "Maybe it's someone's prank." Then he casually tucked the letter between the pages of the book.
Hermione had finished reading the letter, put it away with a smile, and forked a piece of bacon with pleasure.

Soon the game day arrived. Gloria went to the lounge but didn't see Draco. She knew he had probably been called away by the referee or the principal.
After having breakfast in the dormitory, I changed into the prepared clothes and tied the wand to my arm for easy access.
She came out of the dormitory at nine o'clock. The students around her were all in school uniforms, while she was wearing a silver-gray suit.
Today’s viewing platform is built on the water. All students take small boats to the center of the lake, and all the boats used by first-year students when they first enter school are pulled to the shore for use.
Perhaps in order to highlight the difference of the warriors, Gloria came to the shore and saw a wooden boat that was obviously several times larger, and Hagrid was standing on it.
"Leah, come quickly. The warriors from the other two schools have already gone to the viewing stands." He waved his big hand like a palm-leaf fan.
Gloria jumped into the boat with a light leap, "Is Sirius here?"
"Of course he's here. He's been staying in my cabin since early this morning," said Hagrid. "Only Harry hasn't come yet."
The wooden boat seemed to sense someone getting on board and automatically headed towards the viewing platform.
Gloria looked around. "He might want to find a quiet place."
"Maybe." Hagrid said, looking towards the shore, wishing that Harry would appear and wave to him in the next second.
The three viewing stands were large, and students sat down wherever there was a seat. When Gloria came up, she saw Fleur and Krum, both wearing clothes that were convenient for movement.
Gloria checked whether the wand was taken out smoothly and put it back after confirming that it was correct.
"Leah." Sirius' voice came from behind.
Gloria turned around and saw him, "Sirius, why aren't you staying in the viewing stand?"
"You just happened to get here. I came down immediately when I saw you." He walked over to Gloria. "Are you nervous?"
Gloria shook her head, "Not bad."
As the two were talking, Furong looked over, or to be more precise, looked at Sirius, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Didn't Harry look for you?" she asked.
Sirius replied: "No, it's almost time for the game, he should be here soon." He never thought that his godson would avoid the game, especially since he was here.
Sure enough, Harry showed up when there were still a few minutes left in the game.
Sirius pulled him over from the boat and gave him a big hug, "Play well, I'll be standing here waiting for you."
After hugging Harry, he hugged Gloria and touched her head, his eyes full of relief and pride.
"Where have you been?" Gloria asked Harry.
"I want to learn more useful spells." The Bubble Head Charm is useful, but the oxygen in the bubble will be consumed after a certain period of time. "Now it's good, I have something safer to help me breathe underwater."
After that, he secretly showed them what was in his pocket, "This is sacgrass, it allows me to breathe underwater for more than an hour."
"That's a good idea. It saves you the time of going to the surface to change bubbles." Gloria was quite surprised that he could find this. After all, this kind of grass is usually rare and few people use it.
Sirius put his arms on the shoulders of both of them, "Focus on the game, don't be afraid if anything happens, there will be help in an emergency."
At this moment, Bagman's loud voice echoed far away. "It is almost half past nine. Warriors, please take your positions. When I blow the whistle, you can go into the water. You have one hour to find the stolen treasure. Now wait for me to count to three..."
Sirius patted their shoulders and stepped back, "I'll wait for you to come up."
When the command counted to three, several people jumped into the water together. Gloria immediately drew out her magic wand and pointed it at herself. Her legs gradually turned into a beautiful silver fish tail.
After finishing the transformation, she turned around and saw Harry still on the stage, stuffing Cheekbone into his mouth and chewing it. Professor Moody next to him pushed him down.
