Loki rolled his eyes at this imbalance.
'Why can it capture the point while being outside the ring when we can't do the same while being outside the ring?'
The Wampus cat that Harry was fighting suddenly went invisible but Loki immediately fired a-
"Bombarda Maxima!"
-at the ground, raising dust which Harry immediately used to locate the cat that was slipping past Harry towards Loki.
As Harry moved around to target the Wampus Cat, Loki advised him, "Drown the damn thing!"
Harry was startled but he soon nodded and with a wave of his wand he spoke loudly, "Aqua Eructo!!" a jet stream of water left Harry's wand and thrashed into the Wampus Cat's butt.
The cat tried to ignore the water for a few seconds and block it by moving around from the stream, but Harry was using a blatant amount of spiritual energy to keep the stream powered up at full force.
The force caused the cat's body to constantly slip away and finally after misplacing one of its feet, its face was blasted with an immense amount of water. The cat got up and tried rushing away from Harry but Harry kept following it.
In the meantime, seeing Harry focus on the Cat, the gigantic golem raised its arms and thrashed the ground, causing several cracks to appear as they rushed in Harry's direction.
But that wasn't the end. The Golem's role wasn't just to destabilise Harry so that it could free the Cat. No, a sudden rush of lava burst out of the cracks rushing to cook Harry alive.
Simultaneously, the Druid wasn't idle this time. Its vines grew out of the ground and wrapped around the Wampus Cat, protecting it from Harry's relentless assault.
With renewed vigour, the Wampus Cat rushed towards Harry for its public humiliation. Except Harry got clever with it and spoke forcefully, "GLACIUS!"
The water all around the Wampus Cat was pushed out because of the pointed stream of cool air that escaped Harry's wand before it froze entirely along with the shield of leaves and vines that were protecting it.
At this point, with a flick of his wand, Loki shot a spell. The shadows around Harry tied around him and with but a simple flick from Loki pulled him up into the sky away from the cracks on the ground that were spewing lava.
Harry, not minding the interruption, flicked his wand at the Wampus Cat and shouted, "Bombarda Maxima!!!"
The Wampus Cat exploded into smithereens, its entails painting the entire arena red but they glowed softly before vanishing.
Loki waved his wand and helped Harry land right in front of the Golem as he shouted, "Use transfiguration to trap it in a box!"
Harry nodded before waving his wand and causing the ground to grow into a large stone box which encased the Golem.
The golem didn't remain quiet and instead attempted to smash open the box from the inside. Along with the golem smashing its arms at the box, the Druid quickly grew new thick plants that burrowed their roots into the box and weakened its structure.
The Druid's eyes met Loki's and it looked at him with what could be considered a sneer, except while it assumed Loki would be panicking seeing the Golem become free, all it saw was Loki smiling at it.
"Bye-bye.", Loki said politely before waving his hand.
That was when the Druid suddenly heard a shout right by its side, "Glacius!"
A thick block of ice instantly formed around the Druid, encasing it in a non-breathable ice container, blocking its contact with the rest of the world. All its roots spread into the capture point shrank and withered away, leaving Loki to begin capturing the point once again.
"Bombarda!" Fleur shouted as she was revealed when her invisibility charm broke, sending the Druid encased in ice as dust into the air.
Fleur returned and found Harry battling the Golem and without any more orders from Loki joined Harry in simply keeping the Golem out of the capture point since Loki was going to capture it soon.
In a few minutes, the capture point was already eighty per cent of the way done, and Loki was relieved that it'd only take them three more minutes to capture the rest of the point.
The Wampus Cat returned, it was clever this time since it arrived invisible, but Harry was already paying attention to the floor and quickly noticed the Cat's arrival.
He'd prepared a thorough gift for it too.
Instead of using water like last time, knowing it wouldn't work because the cat had likely adapted to it, Harry performed a simple spell, "Serpersortia!"
A thick thirty feet long python emerged onto the fighting grounds.
The python looked around for a few seconds and suddenly heard Harry talk to it, "Hsss! SsS~! HSASA!" before it slithered around the tiny cat and crunched it to death.
Harry then directed the python towards the golem, entrapping the entire thing and snapping its limbs before the python gave him a short nod and vanished as Harry pulled back his spirituality.
"Good idea and transfigarasion 'erry." Fleur commended.
A few more minutes passed with the Druid emerging, but Fleur managed to kill it once again by using the trick Harry used as she transfigured the dirt into an elephant that simply crushed the Druid under its weight by sitting on it.
The ring of light around the point finally turned fully blue and Loki quickly stepped off it once an ethereal cart appeared right where he was standing.
As soon as Loki moved away, the cart became realistic and grew weight before it fell onto the capture point, making a little thundering noise.
The cart was made out of cheap wood and had several gears strewn about the outside that made it seem like a complex piece of machinery. There was a small chimney on it which periodically released smoke.
On the top of the cart were four keys. Each was coloured differently, and the names of the Champions were engraved onto them.
Fleur and Krum spared a simple glance at the cart before going back to focusing on their enemies.
Loki was beside the cart, and it suddenly activated and started to move forward. It moved at a slow pace and moved only if Loki was within three meters of the thing.
"How long is the distance from here to their base!?" Loki asked loudly and Krum answered, "Thirty feet!"
The newly spawned creatures soon arrived and embroiled Harry and the rest of the team in a fight.
However, Harry noticed something, albeit a little too late.
'Fleur's getting tired?'
'Why isn't she using spells to kill the cat?'
'No way-'
Just as Loki arrived closer to the front line along with the cart, Fleur and Krum jumped towards the cart, abandoning their positions.
They grabbed the key with their names on the cart and rushed towards the enemy spawn point.
' *sigh* I expected this to happen…but I didn't know they'd be so blatant about it.' Loki sighed.
Harry was absolutely bamboozled by suddenly having to fight three creatures at once to protect Loki from harm, especially since he appeared to be distracted by thoughts.
'I guess the things we need to save are at the enemy spawn point?'
'So Fleur and Krum expect us to 'die' to the monsters so that we don't have any chance to earn more points and fail the test without being able to secure our hostages.'
'And they hope that we'll be able to keep the monsters away from them for long enough that they'll figure out how to use the keys.'
'How selfish…well, I can't blame them…'
Loki looked at Harry and saw how he was still fighting and thought to help him.
"Harry when I say the word, run as fast as you can! I'll throw you your key!"
"What about you!?" Harry shouted back.
"Don't worry about me!! I'll be right with you!!" Loki shouted words that meant something different to him than they did to Harry and firmed his eyes.
'Good luck to me for the absolute stunt I'm about to pull off.'
