Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Even though the weather was very cold, even though there was really nothing to see at the competition site for the time being.

However, the number of spectators at the Black Lake did not decrease. On the contrary, as the one-hour game time came to an end, a steady stream of people came to watch the game, making the Black Lake even more crowded.

The commentator Bagman was working hard on the stage to prevent the audience from getting bored.

He is indeed a smart man, he knows what the audience wants to know most, and what he tells is gossip about the players.

Such as the story of Krum and his most beloved baby, Hermione, and the strange relationship between Harry and his most beloved baby, Ron.

These biased and heavy-hitting materials kept the audience interested and excited.

"Look at the lake! What is that!"

Suddenly someone in the audience shouted loudly, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the originally calm Black Lake was now surging with waves.

Now no one was listening to Bagman's gossip stories anymore, everyone was looking at the lake.

Everyone on the referee's bench frowned.

No one at the scene knew how deep the Black Lake was better than them. Logically speaking, at such a deep depth, no matter what Mike and the others did at the bottom of the lake, the lake should not have any reaction.

Dumbledore shook his head. He sincerely hoped that this was just a small coincidence, otherwise the situation of Harry and Mike would become very dangerous, because there were not many creatures in the Black Lake who could make such movements. , and all those creatures are not easy to mess with.

But his hopes would eventually be dashed.

The movement on the Black Lake is getting louder and louder. The turbulent water flow from bottom to top stirs the lake into chaos. At the same time, a faint blue color spreads on the lake.

"Oh my God! What happened down there?"

A student of Muggle origin couldn't help but exclaimed, and the people around him echoed in agreement.

Everyone is looking at the lake with concentration, hoping that there will be new changes on the lake, such as something floating up.

I don’t know how long it took, but under everyone’s gaze, a shark fin appeared on the water and was moving towards the shore at high speed.

Karkarov jumped up from the referee's table with joy. You must know that there are no sharks in the Black Lake. The shark fin can only represent Krum.

But soon the smile on his face froze, because as the shark Krum gradually emerged from the water, Renmian was surprised to find that he was actually holding two people?

Forget it, what shocked everyone the most was that a glowing rope was tied to Klum's shark, and at the other end of the rope was Mike, who was also holding two people.

At this moment, Mike looked extremely cool, just like one of those handsome surfers on the Muggle beach.

As time passed, Krum rushed to the shore with Mike and others, and then collapsed on the ground, changing back to human form at an extremely fast speed, gasping for air.

Mike dispelled the golden magic rope without blushing or panting, and walked toward the crowd with Penello and the silver-haired little girl in his arms.

As soon as they left the Black Lake, Penello and the others woke up. Ron woke up and found that he was lying next to Krum. His ears suddenly became extremely red, and when he found that there was still something on the other side of Krum, As Hermione lay there, his face turned as red as a cooked lobster.

Penello and the little girl also woke up. Penello kissed Mike affectionately when he woke up, while the little girl stared at Mike with her big eyes.

At this time, Madam Pomfrey rushed over with a temporary medical team. They quickly covered everyone with blankets and wiped the water stains on everyone's bodies vigorously.

"Emm, gentlemen and ladies, there seems to be something wrong with our competition. Players Mike and Krum seem to have brought the treasures of Players Fleur and Harry. This situation is something we never thought of before. It seems that the scoring will become very difficult in the future." Bagman explained, "But no matter what, our two warriors still completed their tasks ahead of schedule. Let us give them the warmest applause and cheers. Welcome them back!"

Bagman was trying hard to guide the audience's emotions to a climax, but in fact, without him having to say anything, almost all the audience present had already started cheering and applauding.

Amidst the applause like a tsunami, Mike put on a thick winter uniform, waved to the audience first, and then waved to the audience who came to check on the situation after setting off a louder cheer. Professor Flitwick said:

"Professor! I was attacked by a mermaid down there! They even summoned a giant octopus, but the giant octopus didn't seem to be very obedient. Now it is wreaking havoc in the mermaid village."

Hearing this, the smile on Flitwick's face froze, and he asked seriously:

"This is no small matter, Mike. Are you 100 percent sure?"

"I'm sure and sure!"

Mike answered resolutely, and Flitwick immediately took a deep breath and walked to the referee's seat with a straight face.

Everyone on the referee's bench also changed their expressions after hearing what Flitwick said. Among them, Fudge had the most violent reaction. He slammed the table and roared in a low voice:

"I have long said that I will get rid of all these guys, Dumbledore! The nature of those magical creatures is cruel! There are still so many children living here, how can something not happen!"

"Don't worry, Fudge, it's too early to draw a conclusion now." Dumbledore took out his wand and looked at Fudge and said, "Besides, Harry and the others must be in very danger under the Black Lake now. Why don't I go down first and rescue Harry and Fudge?" Miss Delacre, come up and check with the mermaids about the situation. What do you think?"

It didn't feel good to be watched by Dumbledore holding the wand. Fudge instinctively shrank and replied in a weak voice:

"Can."

Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly, shaking the wand in his hand, and then a translucent film appeared on his whole body.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Dumbledore flew out like an arrow and rushed straight into the Black Lake.

Many spectators on the field also noticed this scene, and everyone talked excitedly.

Seeing this, Bagman had to explain:

"Oh! Please don't make a fuss. Dumbledore just went to the Black Lake to pick up our two remaining warriors. As you know, their treasures have been brought up and are staying in the lake. It’s also a waste of time.”

This reason is reasonable and reasonable, and many viewers nodded in agreement.

It was also a good thing for them that Dumbledore could personally come off the field to help the Warriors. After all, they were impatient to wait in the ice and snow. If Dumbledore didn't take action, there was no telling when the game would end.

Half an hour later, Dumbledore's water broke and he held Fleur and Harry in his arms.

As soon as Fleur landed, she pushed away the medical staff who were trying to put blankets on her body. She rushed to the little silver-haired girl crying like crazy and held her in her arms.

The medical staff on the side frowned, and now they had to help the little girl wipe it again.

On the other side, Harry was being wiped down by the medical staff with a dull look on his face, looking like a puppet being played around with at will.

"Harry, are you okay?"

Mike's voice brought Harry back to his senses. He turned to look at Mike tremblingly and stammered:

"I...I'm fine, I...just a little...a little scared!"

"It seems that you should have seen the octopus too. Please forgive me, Harry, the situation was too urgent, so I had to bring everyone up together."

He didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear, but Harry's body was still trembling. He opened his mouth slightly, and just when he was about to reply, Fleur, who was not far away, did rush over, hugged Mike and kissed him wildly. Touching Mike's cheek, he said excitedly:

"Thank you! Thank you Mike! Thank you for saving Gabrielle! I really don't know what I would do if something happened to her!"

Fleur's sudden attack caught Mike off guard, but he noticed that Penello not far away from him was looking at him with murderous eyes, so he gently pushed the excited Fleur away and coughed twice. said:

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."

"I can do anything for you from now on, Mike!" Fleur's eyes were red and her face was sincere, "If something happens to Gabrielle, I will really feel guilty! If I had known earlier that they would take Gabrielle away. If so, I will never participate in this damn Triwizard Tournament!"

Mike shook his head helplessly and coaxed Fleur away for a while.

By this time, Harry had almost recovered. He was wrapped in a thick blanket and said:

"Mike, I don't blame you either. You made the right choice at the time."

"Thank you." Mike said, "Then can you tell me? How did Dumbledore bring you here?"

At this point, an abnormal flush appeared on Harry's face. He quickly shook off the blanket and stood up. While gesticulating, he said in a voice that was trembling with excitement:

"That's really cool! Didn't you see that Dumbledore fell from the sky like a superhero, but with just a wave of his wand! Immediately afterwards, the octopus monster was shrunk ten thousand times! It directly transformed into Became a little octopus!

Then he waved his hand like this again! The buildings in the mermaid village below that were damaged by the giant octopus began to recover automatically!

In the end, Dumbledore talked to the mermaids for a while, and then brought us up! "

After saying that, Harry was obviously still a little unfinished. He smacked his lips, as if he was recalling the scene at that time for a while before telling Mike more.

But at this moment Bagman's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We have finally made a decision. Merkus, the female leader of the mermaids, told us exactly what happened under the lake. We decided to give the warriors the following scores based on a perfect score of fifty. …

Although Fleur Delacre showed excellent use of the Bubble Charm, she was held back by Grindylow and failed to rescue the hostages. So we give her twenty-five points. "

There was applause from the stands, but Furong lowered her head in shame.

"Harry Potter took gillweed and achieved amazing results. Unfortunately, he got lost halfway and failed to save the hostages. So we give him twenty-five points."

The Slytherin students burst into laughter, while Harry wanted to find a hole to burrow into immediately.

He felt like he had let everyone down.

"Victor Krum used Transfiguration. Although it was incomplete, it was still very effective. He returned at the same time as Mike, and he rescued Harry's treasure, Ron, out of humanitarianism. We were supposed to Give him more points, but the Mermaid Queen told us that Player Krum originally planned to return directly with his treasure, but Player Mike forced him to take Ron with him. So we give him 40 points! "

Karkaroff on the referee's bench had a sullen expression and closed his eyes. Krum's deduction made him feel very embarrassed.

On the contrary, Krum himself seemed not to care about the score at all.

At this moment, he was gathering around Hermione, asking for her welfare, and was extremely attentive.

"The last one is our Mike Townley!" Bagman roared at the top of his lungs. "Mike not only returned here with Krum at the same time with his own treasures, he also protected everyone else's treasures!"

"Most judges," Bagman said, casting a very dissatisfied glance at Karkaroff, "feel that this fully reflects a noble moral character. However... Mr. Townley's score is forty-five!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a mixture of boos and cheers in the stands.

The boos were because everyone knew what Bagman meant by most of the referees, and the cheers were because their warrior Mike still maintained his absolute lead in the standings.

Penello and others were applauding vigorously, and Mike waved in response to their enthusiasm.

They could see it most clearly. Although Krum relied on this wave of points to directly surpass Harry and become second place, Mike's lead was too big.

In this case, Karkaroff's little tricks are harmless at all.

"The third and final project will be held on the evening of June 24th," Bagman said. "The warriors will know the specific content of the project one month in advance. Thank you for your support of the warriors!"

The second project finally ended, the audience left the Black Lake one after another, and Mike and other warriors also began to leave.

But when Mike was about to return to the castle, Professor Flitwick suddenly grabbed Mike.

"Mike, can you come to the principal's office this evening? The password is honeycomb cake." Before Mike could ask what it was about, Professor Flitwick continued, "It's about you being attacked by a mermaid underwater today. We specially invited the Mermaid Queen, and I believe she will give you a satisfactory answer after collecting information in the evening."

"Okay, I know."

Mike nodded, and Professor Flitwick also had a smile on his face and said:

"Okay, let's not talk about these serious things for now. To celebrate your success in winning the game, how about we go have a big meal at noon!"

Mike also laughed when he heard this, and then the two of them looked at each other and walked towards the castle.
