"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Merkus, the female mermaid leader, told us everything that happened under the lake, and we decided to give it a full score of fifty. On the basis of points, the scores for the warriors are as follows..."
"The first is Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons. Although she showed excellent use of the Bubble Curse, she was not close to the target. When attacked by Grindylow, we gave her twenty-five points."
"Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts, who also used bubble hair. curse, and was the first to return with the hostage. Therefore, we give him forty-seven points."
"Victor Krum of Durmstrang used Transfiguration, Incomplete, but still effective, he was the second to return with the hostage, and we give him forty points."
"Finally, there are the two most special warriors, Harry Potter from Hogwarts and Piccoly Graves from Ilvermorny. One of them took gilly grass and the other took a mysterious leaf in his mouth, and both achieved Although they were the last warriors to return, it took more than one hour. "However, the mermaid leader told us that Mr. Potter was the first to find the hostages. , he failed to return in time because he wanted to ensure that all the hostages returned safely, instead of only caring about his own hostages. Mr. Graves could have been the fourth person to complete the mission, but he could not bear to let his competitors fall into crisis. He couldn't bear to abandon hostages that had nothing to do with him. "
"After most of the referees' decisions, they felt that this fully demonstrated a noble moral character. Therefore, Mr. Porter's score was forty-five, and Mr. Graves's. The score is forty-two points!"
"The third and final project will be carried out on the evening of June 24th. The warriors will know the specific content of the project one month in advance. Thank you for your support. Support from warriors!"
"..."
The sky was dim, and the dark blue night sky was faintly black, but this did not affect the large and magnificent red-gold clouds that lit up on the dome of the auditorium, as if a small fragment had been stolen from the real sky last summer, making the entire auditorium look like a sunset. A sight of molten gold.
The little wizards gathered around the five hostages and five warriors, eagerly asking about the exciting adventures that took place in the underwater world.
The long-term expectations of the past three months finally turned into reality, but they actually just blew the cold wind on the gray-black lake all morning. You know, the first project was exciting and thrilling, and it was enough for the eyes. Fire dragon duel.
The ears of the warriors have never been quiet since they left the water. No matter where they go, there are always curious students cheering behind them. The sharp voices are louder than the gurgling bubbles and water under the water. It was unbearable.
Harry felt that the various noises had turned into heavy sludge and filled his head, causing his brain to ache. The front lobe of his brain was also dizzy and he could no longer hear clearly. What are the people around talking about.
Just like when they first met, Graves was sitting at the Gryffindor table. It's just that the bystanders are no longer as reserved and shy as they were when they first met. They all have no scruples, especially the young man named Lee Jordan, who is using all his strength to slap him on the shoulder and take out the last minute of water from his mouth. story.
"At that time, I saw Harry being submerged by the mermaid. I didn't think much about it, so I just used..."
After Graves finished speaking in a daze, he saw two people next to Lee Jordan. The red-haired twins raised their arms and started shouting.
"The most detailed underwater competition, explained by commentator Lee Jordan!"
"No need to pay, just buy Weasley's Magic Joke Shop supplies and you can listen!"
"10% off canary biscuits, 30% off fake wands..."
The little wizards surrounding them immediately dispersed and surrounded the three people. The scene was even worse than the supermarket Christmas sale. Be crowded.
But this is good, my ears can finally be quiet for a while.
Graves looked at the long table, picked up the goblet and came behind the youngest warrior, patting him on the shoulder: "Hey, Harry."
"Oh, um..." Harry turned around and saw him, and hurriedly swallowed the steak in his mouth, "Oh, hello, Graves."
"Just call me Pikli." Graves smiled slightly.
"Uh, okay, Pickley." Harry choked a little. He didn't look into the eyes of the person in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Graves raised his glass to greet him: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten such a high score."
Harry quickly picked up the glass and touched it with him Suddenly, when he saw milk in his cup, he couldn't help but blush a little: "It's me who should thank you. If you hadn't saved me, I probably wouldn't have gotten any points. Thank you, Gray...Pickley."
Graves clinked his glass and drank the champagne in one gulp. His smile became more sincere. Before leaving, he turned back and said: "Harry, you are a true warrior."
Harry groggily picked up his knife and fork again, and couldn't help but wonder as he pointed it at the steak.
What does this mean?
It sounds very mature, but I feel it is not as good as others...
Forget it, this kind of mature attitude is not suitable for him, it is suitable for people like Loren and Hermione.
Harry subconsciously glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye and saw Loren quietly taking Hermione's roasted chicken legs. He was silent for a moment, thinking too much, and there was no Loren.
Compared with the lively and festive students, the atmosphere at the guest table seemed a bit subtle.
Ms. Maxim elegantly shared a roasted elbow. The skin was crispy and the pig's elbow was sizzling with oil. Although it shrank a little when roasted, it was bigger than some wizards' heads.
However, this giantess's movements were slow and slow, without any trace of chaos. Even the oily sheen was only on her lips. Seeing such a scene, the people next to her would inevitably feel weird.
Look at another mixed-race giant not far away, looking at this side longingly...
Karkaroff looked back, and the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.
Principal Fontana's heart was beating very happily. Thinking of what happened during the day, he couldn't help laughing softly: "Albus, I must say, there are many things worth learning about the education at Hogwarts. I was thinking , even if the Goblet of Fire competition is over, we should strengthen our relationship."
"It's an honor." Dumbledore laughed, "Speaking of which, Hogwarts and Ilvermorny should have been kissing each other. We are like a family, we are brothers, what do you think?"
"Yes, we are like brothers!" Principal Fontana raised his glass excitedly, "To the great Salazar Slytherin. "
Crouch's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his glass and joined in: "To the great Salazar Slytherin"
"To all the greats who founded and protected the school. Wizard." Dumbledore laughed.
Hearing these words, Ms. Maxim also raised her glass: "I think that great schools all have similarities, not only whether they have superb magic skills, whether they have strong combat capabilities, but also..."
She took a deep look at Karkaroff: "There is also the cultivation of morality and temperament, and a school for cultivating good wizards."
Karkaroff was so angry that his mustache trembled, Who are you implying, saying that Durmstrang has trained all dark wizards? It's obvious that these two schools train stupid guys, who would think that the competition will really drown people?
The time limit is just to let them come back within the specified time. Who would waste time because of being a hero?
He raised his glass and clinked it with them in annoyance. The sound was so loud that people worried that the glass would break.
"That's right, but I think magic skills are the basic ability of a wizard. The prerequisite for developing moral integrity is the ability to protect oneself, right?" Karkaroff gasped, " If the students you teach can't even protect themselves well and can't survive a real battle, and are defeated by the aftermath of someone else's curse, this kind of morality is useless."
< br>Anyone can hear that he is saying that Fleur Delacour's skills are poor. She can't even pass the simplest underwater breathing and Grindylow levels, and her score is also the lowest in the game... Ms. Maxim is so angry His chest rose and fell violently.
The clinking of glasses finally ended in a subtle atmosphere.
The simple Ludo Bagman drank a big gulp of ice-cold wine, and every inch of his senses from his throat to his stomach shivered with pleasure.
He felt that his wallet was filling up. The popular player Viktor Krum was second to last, and Harry Potter was second. With these two items alone, his debts were halved.
When the third project is completed, he will not only be able to pay off his debts, but also become a rich man!
Speaking of debts, do some of them not need to be repaid...
"Pa!"
The girl's soft and white fingers slapped the back of her hand, which still hurt a little. . Loren retracted his dirty little hand, opened his eyes and stared at him: "Oh, you're a Granger classmate, I was kind enough to help you digest some unhealthy food, but you hit me."
Hermione glanced at the roasted chicken leg that he had touched, pursed her lips, and silently pushed it into the man's plate with a spoon.
I was pinched by this man's hand. I don't know what kind of sweets were on it, and there might be some...
The girl glanced at his lips, and a flash of disgust made Luo Lun was greatly hurt.
"You actually dislike me!"
"No."
"I saw it all!"
"You saw it wrong."
"Impossible, my eyes have magic power and I can see clearly."
" ..." Hermione moved another chicken wing, "Then I'll give you compensation."
Loren couldn't help but swallowed and muttered: "Such a small amount of compensation can't make up for the damage to my fragile heart. But since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I won't argue with you for the time being."
Hermione looked at him eating and couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth.
My mother said in the letter that you need to exercise restraint when getting along with the person you like. Only by exercising restraint can your love stay fresh and your happiness last as long as possible. She probably had a little objection, but as long as he was by her side, she would never get tired of it.
...
Fantasy book, library.
Dark blue water flooded the whole world, bubbles popped out from the solid wood shelves and books, the faint sound from the sea bottom clung to the eardrums, and the cool touch reached directly into the mind.
A mermaid with smooth scales floated on the bookshelf, shaking its strong tail fin, and the invisible water waves it fanned overturned several thin volumes on the bookshelf next to it, and the pages flipped like wind.
An old man in a silver robe floated slowly through the air, holding a drama book in his hand with a helpless expression. This library was burned by fire, soaked by sea water, and then... There are not many ways left for him to toss.
What should we do next time, soil filling?
The sturdy mermaid waved his hand, and the underwater library immediately returned to its normal state. Loren landed in front of the old man and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why does the mermaid leader I saw today basically have no magic power?" , but that old man who turned into foam, the magic power has almost caught up with Dumbledore?"
"In fact, whether it is a mermaid, a centaur or a giant...these humanoid creatures rely on the body and transcendence. Animal intelligence can live well in nature, so there is no emphasis on magic research." Flamel focused on reading without raising his head. "A few individuals with outstanding talents can understand from the ocean, stars and earth. The magic is powerful enough to become the elder of the tribe, so the inheritance education does not focus on magic."
Loren's mind flashed to all the centaurs he had seen, Firenze, Baine, Ronan...
It seems that they did not display any magic, even when dealing with Voldemort, they only used their hooves. With bows and arrows, the only thing that can be related to magic is astrology, but this thing basically does not use magic.
However, humanoid creatures do not have unique magic power. Since they all use magic, their own bodies are more suitable.
If you think about it this way, magical animals are really magical.
After thinking about it for a moment, Loren let go of the wand, closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing his body.
A layer of slender, soft white hair grew silently from his skin, and at the top of his head, a straight sharp horn slowly grew. Unconsciously, his body lay horizontally in the air, and his limbs Turned into hooves. Half a minute later, a snow-white unicorn appeared on the spot.
Thanks to Professor Hagrid's teachings and the fresh teaching aids he found, Loren basically figured out the body structure of the unicorn.
Loren tried to raise his hoof and felt the magic power in his body again.
The instinct of his body told him that the first way to attack was to hit it with a horn and then kick it with a hoof. If none of these work, you can lie down and wait for the enemy to drink the cursed blood, allowing him to continue his life while feeling powerful pain.
Hmm... In the magical world where it is constantly spitting fire and turning into stone, it can only be said to have no power, not to say it is extremely powerful.
Even a little cute.
Frammel looked up from the book and glanced at him: "You should have discovered that for you now, the magic power of most magical animals can no longer provide much help. The flames of the fire dragon Not as good as your fierce fire, the basilisk's petrification is only slightly faster than your binding spell... When you were in New York and Devon, you didn't have to transform into a basilisk to solve the problem."
"Wizards are the most powerful magical animals."
Loren restored his original appearance and spread his hands: "You are right, but a basilisk that suddenly appears is more powerful than a powerful wizard that suddenly appears. It gives people peace of mind."
