With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

"What? Krum, you chose Ronnie?"

Hearing this, Harry was completely bewildered. Where did this Ronnie come from? He was planning to choose Ron Weasley for 4.9.

But when Harry saw Krum's serious expression, he realized something was wrong.

He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Krum that Ronnie wasn't there and that she had left, but the other person said bluntly, "Harry, don't even think about having Ronnie Weasley all to yourself. Trying to tie a girl to your side by using underhanded means is low class. Tell us where she is!"

“You’ve chosen Ronnie, what am I supposed to do?” Harry asked instinctively.

"You?" Krum looked at him with a hint of disdain. "You can choose Ron, you like that kind of thing anyway, don't you?"

Krum's accusations, and the insult that he "had a taste for it," thoroughly enraged Harry.

He also realized that if he chose Ron, the rumors about his taboo relationship with Ron would resurface.

So he made up his mind and shouted, "Give up, Krum, I'm not telling you where Ronnie is."

He then turned to Tonks and said to her, "The hostage I've chosen is Ronnie Weasley, but she's not at Hogwarts right now. I'll arrange for her to appear before the tournament."

Chapter 369 Harry's Request

Ultimately, Harry emerged victorious in the contest with Krum for Ronnie Weasley as a hostage.

As for Krum, Tonks dismissed him with just one sentence.

“You can’t choose someone you can’t find as a hostage,” Tonks advised. “Although we didn’t see Ronnie Weasley in the end, Harry promised to bring her if necessary, and if Miss Ronnie didn’t arrive by then, he would forfeit the match. He could make that promise, could you?”

Krum shook his head.

Of course, his only interaction with Ronnie Weasley was dancing together. If he knew how to find Ronnie, he wouldn't have come looking for Harry.

“That makes sense,” Tonks said. “That proves you can’t handle this girl, while Harry can. You’d better choose one you can handle.”

These words almost broke Krum's defenses.

But he had to admit that what Tonks said was true, and he couldn't continue to act recklessly.

So Krum found a female fan who idolized him at Hogwarts—originally he planned to take a Durmstrang friend hostage, but he eventually gave up after considering the reports about Rita Skeeter.

The other two warriors, Estella Dumont and Polyakov, also successfully found their hostages.

The time for the second match will be here soon.

　19. All six warriors have chosen their hostages, but only five are available at any given time.

With the deadline fast approaching, Harry finally couldn't contain himself and found Levin:

"Levin, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Inside a classroom, Harry pleaded repeatedly with a helpless-looking Levin.

Right after Transfiguration class ended, Harry mysteriously pulled Levin here.

At first, he thought Harry wanted to say something important, but as soon as he entered the room, Harry started asking him for help.

What happened again?

Levin was somewhat exasperated. He noticed that Harry seemed to have developed a habit of coming to him for help whenever he had a problem.

At the Christmas ball, Harry witnessed his goddess Cho Chang dancing and chatting happily with Levin.

And he only danced with Levin and Tonks throughout the entire ball.

Having personally ended Harry's budding first love, Levin thought Harry would be angry with him for a few days.

Who knew that he would shamelessly come back to him for help?

It's like Christmas never happened; that's just so spineless.

You're Dumbledore's chosen savior! Solve your own problems when they arise. Can you please stop being such a useless coward?

We're not your nanny.

At that moment, Levin felt the same way Crouch Jr.

However, as a friend, Levin did not outwardly show any impatience.

"What's happened now, Harry?"

He tried to maintain a friendly tone and asked.

"Um... Levin, do you still have that potion from last time?"

"Last time? Potion? What kind of potion?"

Levin pondered for a moment; he didn't seem to have given Harry any potions.

"Tell me, what exactly is this medicine?"

"It's...it's that potion..." Harry hesitated, unable to say the name for a long time.

"Which potion is it? Can you be more specific?" Levin rolled his eyes. "You keep saying 'this' and 'that,' but I have no idea what they are."

“It’s…it’s…” Harry stammered for a long time before finally gritting his teeth, stamping his foot, and saying the name, “It’s that ‘gender-changing potion’.”

“Oh, you mean ‘sex-changing serum’?” Levin nodded, then suddenly realized, “Wait, ‘sex-changing serum’? Which kind of serum can change your gender?”

Levin confirmed it with shock.

“That’s right, the kind where men turn into women and women turn into men.” Harry nodded.

Wait, where has this conversation happened before?

Levin didn't think about where the sense of déjà vu came from.

He was genuinely curious as to why Harry would make this request of him.

Weren't they terribly harmed by the sex-transfer drug back at the Christmas ball?

Hearing this question, Harry answered somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... I wanted Ronnie to be a hostage in the second match."

"Gah?!"

Levin was shocked to hear this answer.

I thought that after this once, they would deeply resent it.

I never thought I'd want to come back again, what the heck is this?

Are there people who actively want to be women?

With deep confusion, Levin asked curiously, "Ron... could he be addicted to playing with gender reassignment surgery?"

If it's true, then he's committed a grave sin.

He essentially gave the Weasleys one less son and one more daughter.

He wouldn't be able to explain this to the Weasleys if word got out.

Fortunately, Harry denied the guess: "No, no, no, that's not it. That's exactly what I meant."

“I originally wanted to take Ron as my hostage, but you know, that annoying Rita made that report. If I really took Ron as my hostage, everyone would say we’re like Nan Tong again.”

At this point, Harry sighed.

"I can't choose a male hostage, and the only girl I'm relatively familiar with, Ginny, has become Hermione's hostage, so I can only choose Ronnie."

Forget it. Even if Hermione gave you this year, she might not agree. Ginny isn't the same person she used to be.

After secretly despising Harry's slowness, Lai accepted his explanation.

I don't want to be mistaken for Nan Tong... It seems to be a lingering effect of that ball.

There's nothing that can be done about it. It all started with Levin's prank, so he has to take full responsibility.

“Understood, Harry, don’t worry.” Levin reached into the bag and pulled out a crystal bottle containing a familiar pink potion.

However, Harry thought this bottle was a bit darker in color than the previous one.

Levin handed him the crystal bottle and instructed him, "This bottle contains a high-concentration version of the sex-changing drug. After drinking it, you can maintain your sex for 24 hours, enough for you to last through the entire match with some left over."

"Great, I can see... no, I won't be mistaken for Nan Tong anymore!"

Harry cheered as he received the gender-changing potion.

However, in Levin's eyes, his expression was too excited, completely exceeding the bounds of what was expected.

"Does not being treated like Nan Tong really make you that happy?" Levin asked, puzzled.

His psychic abilities also told him that Harry's emotions at this moment were excitement and anticipation, rather than normal relief.

Thinking of Harbinger 8!

A slip of the tongue.

Levin couldn't help but cast a suspicious glance at him, thinking to himself, "You little rascal, could you really have ulterior motives?"

So he tentatively asked, "Even if I give you the potion, will Ron be willing to drink it? Won't he feel awkward?"

“Of course he’s willing!” Harry revealed gleefully. “Actually, I had already convinced Ron before I came to you. He agreed to drink the gender-changing potion again to help me save face.”

Ugh—

It turns out it was a case of one party willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

No wonder Harry wasn't angry about Cho Chang after the ball; apparently, someone had made him fall for someone else.

After figuring all this out, Levin couldn't help but sigh.

He could assure Merlin that he never imagined such consequences.

He gave Ron the gender-changing potion as a prank, and he never expected it to go on in such an outrageous way.

Perhaps the root cause is that Harry used [Love's Protection] on Ron.

This magic may not only have a protective function, but can also subtly influence the feelings between the two parties.

How far will the friendship between Harry and Ron develop in the future?

Levin was somewhat confused, but also somewhat expectant.
