"You have become the center of media attention, which seems to have inflated your already careless head, Potter." Snape said softly after the other students in the class fell silent.

Harry didn't answer. He knew that Snape was trying to provoke him and irritate him. Snape had done this before. Needless to say, he was looking for an excuse to deduct more than fifty points from Gryffindor before get out of class ended.

"You would definitely like to think that the whole wizarding world is marveling at you," Snape continued, his voice so soft that other students could not hear, "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the newspapers. This time. In my eyes, Potter, you are just an annoying little boy, but you think you can ignore all the rules and regulations."

Harry's hands were shaking slightly with anger, but he kept his eyes lowered, as if he couldn't hear what Snape said to him.

"Therefore, I want to give you a kind warning, Potter," Snape said in a softer and more sinister voice, "despite your reputation - if I find you breaking into Yi's office again -"

"I've never been near your office!" Harry said angrily, putting aside his pretense of deafness.

"Don't lie to me," Snape said in a low voice, staring into Harry's eyes with his unfathomable black eyes, "African tree snake skin. Gillweed. Both of these are my personal storage. I Know who stole it."

Harry glared at Snape without any sign of weakness. He was determined not to blink or show any guilt. To be honest, he didn't steal either thing from Snape. When they had taken the skin of the African tree snake in their second year - they needed it to make Polyjuice Potion - Snape had suspected Harry, but had no proof. What about the gilly grass? Someone else stole it from him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Harry said coldly.

"You weren't in your bed the night someone broke into my office!" Snape hissed. "You couldn't hide it from me, Potter! Yes, Mad-Eye Moody was probably in your star club, too. But I will never tolerate your behavior again! If you sneak into my office in the middle of the night again, Potter, just wait and see!"

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the classroom.

"Come in," Snape said in his usual voice.

The door opened and the whole class turned to look. Professor Karkaroff walked in, and everyone watched as he walked towards Snape's podium. He twirled his goatee with his fingers, looking restless.

"We need to talk." Karkaroff said abruptly as soon as he reached Snape. He seemed determined not to let anyone hear what he was saying, so his lips barely moved, as if he were a terrible ventriloquist. Harry stared at the ginger roots and listened carefully.

The two began to whisper in the doorway, and Harry saw Karkaroff lift the left sleeve of his robes to show Snape something on his forearm.

If a professional Auror saw all this, they would immediately realize that it was the Dark Mark.

The theft case of Snape's office was settled for the time being, but rumors about Harry and Ron's abnormal relationship began to spread more widely because of Snape.

Every time the little necromancers see the two of them together, they will immediately whisper and then smile inexplicably at them. This state is even after the Easter holiday

After the little necromancers returned to school, they continued.

Normally, the beginning of the summer semester means that the Quidditch teams of the four houses of Hogwarts have to step up their training to prepare for the last Quidditch match of the season. But this year, due to the third and final event of the Triwizard Tournament, the Quidditch match was cancelled.

In the last week of May, Mr. Bagman gathered all the warriors on the Quidditch pitch, where he wanted to tell them what the third event was. "

So, at 8:30 that night, Hermione and Ye Ting broke up with Zhang Qiu in Ravenclaw Tower and came downstairs. As they walked through the foyer, they saw Mo Rong coming out of the library.

"What do you think it could be?" Fleur asked Hermione as the two of them walked down the stone steps and merged into the overcast night. "Krum keeps talking about underground tunnels. She thinks we are looking for treasure. .

"That's not bad." Hermione said, "But I don't have any opinion on it myself, and Ye Ting won't tell me anything."

"You are already very strong." Ye Ting shook his head with a wry smile, "If you know everything, then there is no point in continuing this game."

They walked along the dark lawn toward the Quidditch pitch, and then entered the pitch through a gap between the stands.

"What are they doing here?" Hermione stopped suddenly and asked curiously.

The Quidditch pitch is no longer flat and smooth. It seems that someone has built countless long low walls here. These low walls are intricate and winding in all directions.

"It's a wall!" Fleur said, lowering her head and carefully observing the short wall closest to him.

"Hello!" shouted a cheerful voice.

Ludo Bagman stood in the middle of the court, next to Harry and Krum. Hermione and Fleur stepped over the low walls and walked towards them.

"What do you think?" Bagman asked happily as Hermione and Fleur climbed over the last low wall. "It's going well, isn't it? In another month, Hagrid will make them twenty feet tall. Don't worry, your Quidditch pitch will be back to its original shape as soon as the tournament is over! Okay, "I think you can probably guess what we're going to do here.

What?"

No one spoke for a moment, and then——

"The maze," Krum said gruffly.

"That's right!" Bagman said, "It's a maze. The third project is very simple and clear. The Triwizard Cup is placed in the center of the maze. Whoever can touch it first will get full points."

"We just need to get through the maze?" Fleur said.

"There will be many obstacles," Bagman said cheerfully, hopping up and down on tiptoes. "Hagrid has provided a lot of animals...and Mr. Ye has prepared many magical things for you." There are magic props and some spells that must be lifted...and so on. In addition, Mr. Ye changed the rules slightly and said he wanted to give you a surprise. Also

The Warriors with the leading score enter the maze first. Bagman smiled at Hermione and Fleur, "Then Miss Delacour entered... and finally Mr. Krum." But you all have to work hard to succeed. It depends on your ability to overcome obstacles. It should be fun, right?"

After that, the warriors observed the outside of the maze and left. Ye Ting planned to visit his unicorn Lari in the Forbidden Forest. He would go there every one or two days, while Fleur and Hermione followed. Behind him, they also wanted to see the unicorn. Among them, Hermione was already very familiar with Lori, but in recent months, as long as Hermione stayed around Ye Ting, she would be hostile to Lori.

Along the way, the two girls tried their best to get information about the maze from Ye Ting, but Ye Ting, who was determined to keep it secret, kept talking about him.

Suddenly, Ye Ting smelled a smell of blood, and there was unusual movement in the trees to their left. He instinctively grabbed the arms of the two girls and pulled them over.

"what happened?"

Ye Ting shook his head and stared at the place where there was movement just now.

At this moment, a man suddenly stumbled out from behind a tall oak tree.

Ye Ting didn't recognize it for a moment...then he realized it was Mr. Crouch. .
