Chapter 192
"Hey, it's not because I'm at the bottom of the lake," Hermione stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed, and said coquettishly, "Anyway, there's no one else at the bottom of the lake, and the three of them didn't watch me turn into a dragon with their own eyes, even if Let them find out, and they will also think that it is just a wild dragon, so it's okay this time."
The girl held Ye Ting's hand and kept shaking, as if she would never give up if she didn't agree.
"Okay, okay," Ye Ting couldn't resist Hermione, so he turned to look at the mermaids.
"You're not going to tell Dumbledore what you just saw, are you?"
The mermaids shook their heads one after another. They dared not do this. How terrifying is a wizard who can turn into a giant dragon? Just now, when the silver dragon first appeared, the mermaids responded, and their entire tribe was about to end.
Hermione was not surprised that Ye Ting was able to speak the murloc language. After she saw the hostage, she asked Ye Ting curiously, "As long as I bring Zhang Qiu back to the shore, I will finish the game, right?"
"That's right."
"Looks like I was the first to finish the game. Sure enough, I can find my way by following the sound." The girl nodded with satisfaction, and then swam towards the hostage briskly.
The hostages were tied with ropes made of thick water plants. The girl used magic to break the water plants that bound Zhang Qiu, and then took her upstream, and soon disappeared.
The second one who came here was Fleur. In the original book, she had the unfortunate encounter with many Grindillos and finally failed to complete the game.
Although the bubble head spell is a spell that can make people breathe underwater, it has no combat effectiveness, and many wizards are not used to casting spells underwater, which leads to a sharp decrease in combat effectiveness in water.
In contrast, Krum's method is much more useful. As long as he can hold back his mouth, his shark head can be considered invincible against Grindillo.
but. This time he was lucky. It should be said that the other three warriors are all lucky, because due to Hermione's sake, Grindylo, who was originally a disturbance and danger, was frightened and ran away, and the remaining two or three were simply not enough to stop these warriors.
After Gabriel was taken away by Fleur, Harry and Krum also found it one after another. However, perhaps because his head turned into a shark, Krum's IQ seemed to be affected. The rope on his friend was tugging and biting. The problem was that Krum's shark teeth had a weird structure. Anything smaller than a dolphin would be awkward for him to bite, and he was so careless that he would tear the boy in half. .
In the end, however, all recovered their treasures within an hour.
Ye Ting was the last to return to the shore. Madam Pomfrey fussed around them. She prepared blankets for everyone and forced a hot potion into their mouths. The ears of the warriors and the hostages popped out.
Dumbledore squatted by the water and was talking closely with the older mermaid. He could also speak mermaid. Seeing this, Hermione immediately looked at the mermaid threateningly. In the end, the mermaid didn't say anything about the dragon. .
After listening for a while, Dumbledore straightened up, turned to the other referees, and said, "Let's have a meeting before scoring."
Chapter 0267 Harry's Secret Love Story
The discussion continued for a long time, and then, Ludo Bagman's magic-amplified voice suddenly sounded, startling the audience in the stands and making them instantly quiet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Mermaid leader Mercus told us exactly what happened under the lake, and we decided to score the warriors as follows on the basis of a full score of 60... "
"Fleur Delacour showed an excellent use of the blister spell and we give her 57 points."
There was applause from the stands.
"Harry Potter used Gill, with amazing results," Bagman continued. "He was the third to return and we gave him 55 points."
"Victor Klum used Transfiguration, incomplete but still effective, he was the last to return with a hostage. We give him 50 points."
Karkaroff slapped his hands very vigorously, looking triumphant.
"Miss Hermione Granger didn't use any spells, we still haven't figured out how she moved freely in the water, and the merman female leader told us that they didn't see Miss Granger in the water. The hostage was rescued inexplicably. But she was the first to return with the hostage, so we give her 57 points." The Ravenclaw students in the crowd cheered loudly, their voices deafening.
Even the professors cast a strange look at Hermione.
No way, Hermione did set a record. From the beginning of the first game to now, all the referees and spectators have not seen what method she used to complete the game, and she has not even recited a spell.
"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 24," Bagman continued. "The Warriors will be informed about the specifics of the project a month in advance. Thank you for your support to the Warriors."
One of the most wonderful things about the second project was the rush to find out what was going on under the lake, which meant that for the first time in his life, Ron was in the center of attention, like Harry. Harry noticed that Ron had told the story over and over, slightly different each time. At first, what he said was true - in Professor McGonagall's office, Dumbledore used magic to hypnotize the hostages, and first assured them that they were absolutely in no danger and that they would be in danger as soon as they got out of the water.
will wake up.
A week later, however, Ron told a thrilling kidnapping story of how he fought with his bare hands fifty heavily armed mermen who had to force him into submission before tying him up.
However, compared with him, Harry seemed a lot more embarrassed. In people's mouth, Ron became his most beloved baby, and everyone made fun of him all day long.
After entering March, the weather became clearer, but every time they came to the field outside, the cold wind still made their hands and faces hurt, but Harry found that the relationship between him and Ron was still aching. Rumors of a relationship suddenly began to spread widely.
One afternoon, he went to his last class, two consecutive Potions classes, and found Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle standing outside the classroom with the Slytherins led by Pansy Parkinson. together. They were all looking at something and giggling happily. Harry and Ron, Pansy's fox face poked excitedly from Goyle's plump back.
"They're coming, they're coming!" she giggled, and the bunched Slytherins dispersed. Harry saw that she was holding a magazine - "Witcher Weekly". The event photo on the cover shows a red-haired boy grinning and showing a mouthful of teeth as she points her wand at a large sponge cake.
"You'll find things in there that interest you, Weasley!" Malfoy exclaimed, throwing the magazine to Ron. Ron reached out and took it, looking a little panicked. Just then, the door to the basement opened, and Snape beckoned everyone in.
Snape had just turned to write the ingredients for today's potion on the blackboard when Ron hurriedly opened the magazine under the table. Finally, he found what they were looking for in the middle of the magazine. Harry leaned in too. Beneath one of Harry's color photographs is this short text:
Harry Potter's Secret Love Story
He may be a different boy - but he also suffers from the misery of a young boy. Rita Skeeter reports. After the loss of his parents, fourteen-year-old Harry Potter thought he was finally at Hogwarts, in his friend Ron Weasley, who came from a pure-blood wizarding family. However, This kind of feeling actually intensified with the passage of time.
Mr. Weasley is a plain-looking but ambitious boy who seems to have a soft spot for famous wizards, but his friendship with Mr. Potter is not satisfied at all, so their friendship soon gets closer. A delicate, beyond friendship relationship has been brewing between the two boys...
I have never seen such a close relationship between the same sex. In Game 2 of the Triwizard Tournament, Ron was even chosen to be Harry's baby, trapped at the bottom of a lake awaiting rescue from him. And the love and concern for his close friend allowed Harry to explode beyond his own level and even retrieve his treasure before Krumm.
"This nasty bastard knows how to make rumors," Ron complained to Harry next to him, "He should have known that the hostages of the four warriors are all of the same sex as warriors, are they all she said... that kind of... ...is it related?"
"This woman is eyeing me." Harry whispered, "She couldn't provoke Krum, she was afraid that he would use violence, and she couldn't provoke Furong and Hermione, because they had a good relationship with Ting Ye, so they found her. on my head."
"If that woman knew what happened at the Christmas party," said Ron, shivering, "it's over for the two of us, this—"
"Mr. Weasley, despite your rich social life," a cold voice suddenly came from behind, startling all three of them, "but I must warn you not to whisper in my class. Ten points from Ryffindor."
Snape walked quietly to their table while they were talking. The whole class turned to look at them.
"Huh... Still reading magazines under the table?" Snape said again, grabbing the "Witcher Weekly". "Ten points from Gryffindor...but, of course..." Snape's eyes fell on Rita Skeeter's article, and his dark eyes suddenly lit up. "Potter needs to collect clippings..."
The Slytherins roared with laughter in the basement, and Snape's thin lips twitched in a malicious smile. Much to Harry's chagrin, Snape read the article aloud.
"Harry Potter's Secret Love Story... gosh, gosh, Potter, what's wrong with you? He might be a different boy..."
Harry felt his face heat up. Snape paused after each sentence to make the Slytherins laugh enough. The article was read through Snape's mouth, and the effect was ten times worse. Now, even Ron's face was flushed.
Chapter 0268 labyrinth level
"You've become the center of media attention, which seems to swell your inadvertent head even more, Potter," Snape said softly when the rest of the class fell silent.
Harry didn't answer. He knew Snape was trying to tease him, to provoke him, as Snape had done before. Needless to say, he was looking for an excuse to deduct over fifty points from Gryffindor before get out of class ended.
"You probably take it for granted that the entire wizarding world is in awe," Snape continued, his voice so soft that the rest of the class couldn't hear him, "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the newspapers. Well. In my eyes, Potter, you're just a nasty little boy who thinks you can ignore all the rules and regulations."
Harry's hands trembled slightly with anger, but he kept his eyes down, as if he couldn't hear what Snape was saying to him.
"So I'm going to give you a good warning, Potter," Snape said in a softer and more sinister voice, "despite your reputation—if I find you breaking into my office again—"
"I've never been near your office!" Harry said angrily, throwing his deafness aside.
"Don't lie to me," Snape said in a low voice, his unfathomable black eyes staring hard at Harry's. "African tree snake bark. Gillwort. Both of these are my personal possessions, I know who stole it."
Harry stared at Snape uncompromisingly, he didn't blink or look guilty. To be honest, he didn't steal either of those things from Snape. They got the African tree snake bark in their second grade - they needed it to make the potion - and Snape suspected Harry at the time, but there was never any proof. As for the gills, someone else stole it from him.
