Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

The audience outside looked at the image on the old parchment. The actions of the five warriors were divided into five squares, all of which were clearly visible.

"Harry wants to use the Unleashing Curse to attack the mermaid. It seems that there are some problems with the effect of this spell in the water..." Bagman kept focusing on Harry, and after seeing his actions explained in time.

Part of the audience looked at the box where Harry was, and saw that the tip of his wand did not emit the red light beam that should have appeared, but instead burst out a lot of bubbles, and brought a stream of hot water to the place. On the body of the ugly mermaid.

When the water came into contact with the mermaid, the mermaid didn't appear as fatigued as it should have been, but there were a few red spots on the brown skin scalded by the hot water, and it seemed that its movements were not affected in any way.

"We all know that Potter, as the youngest warrior, still hasn't experienced many courses. This is a disadvantage of inexperience..." Bagman explained with a worried expression, "The spell is in the water and in the air. There's a difference in water...unless you're strong enough to be immune to water."

The picture on the parchment changed again——

Mermaids living in high latitudes almost always survive in cold water. Although they are stimulated by hot water, although they do not suffer any harm, they feel furious in their hearts.

He opened his mouth, and the audience couldn't hear him, but they could guess that he let out a series of high-pitched screams.

Then, more and more ugly brown-skinned mermaids with steel forks gathered from all directions, driving a large group of Grindyllos, and surrounded Harry in the middle.

If there is no miracle, it must be impossible for Harry to escape this dense encirclement.

The gill grass can only make him adapt to the action and breathing in the water, but it cannot improve his combat ability in the water.

Under such circumstances, a little wizard who is only in the fourth grade is obviously no match for the vicious mermaid who has lived in water since he was a child.

However, the security officer Dracula, who was lazily floating above the black lake, had no intention of helping. He even stuffed a blood-flavored lollipop into his mouth and watched with great interest. With the vastly expanded Hogwarts title.

It’s not just Dracula who doesn’t care, even the other viewers don’t seem to care about Harry’s situation at all... In fact, they are all focused on another box, and they basically don’t see Harry’s situation. what happened over there-

There is a figure riding a majestic horse-shaped water monster. It is really like riding the wind and waves in the water of the Black Lake, shuttling quickly underwater.

Such a miraculous sight is really cool, and the little wizards all cast envious eyes, imagining that they also have the opportunity to ride such a cool magical animal and make a splash under the gaze of everyone.

Now in the entire arena, only Bagman and Harry's Gryffindor friends are worried about Harry who is under siege.

"Professor, Harry is about to be attacked by a mermaid, aren't you going to help him?"

Hermione and Ron happened to be sitting close to where Dracula was floating in the air, and Hermione was anxiously raising her head and shouting at Dracula.

"Don't worry, it's not time for me to make a move yet." Dracula took the blood-scented lollipop out of his mouth and said to the little witch in the audience.

"But……"

"Didn't you see that Potter will not be alone soon." Dracula said.

He lifted his chin toward the other square on the deed side.

Hermione and Ron looked over, and found that two originally distinct squares trembled suddenly, and then, the two squares overlapped together in an instant, forming a larger square.

"That's...John Kowalski!" Ron exclaimed.

In the picture displayed on the title deed, John Kowalski, the most impressive warrior in the audience, rode a horse-shaped water monster, broke through the waves all the way, and rushed into the group of mermaids surrounding Harry powerfully.

The ugly brown-skinned mermaid was blown away by the waves of the horse-shaped water monster, and the people turned on their backs...or the mermaid turned on their backs, and in a blink of an eye, a big hole was opened in the unbreakable encirclement.

John rode the horse-shaped water monster to Harry's side quickly, pulled him onto the saddle-shaped back of the water monster, and then rushed out from the merman's surround again.

The horse-shaped water monster is a 4X-level magical animal known for its water-based nature. Of course, its swimming speed is much faster than that of the mermaid. In a blink of an eye, they escaped from the mermaid's pursuit, leaving only the sharp and ear-piercing roar of the mermaid lingering behind for a long time. ...

When he was free of the merman, John released Harry from behind the kelpie.

Neither of them had a normal conversation in the water, so John just gave Harry a look, made a few gestures, and gave Harry a thumbs up.

Harry understood what John meant.

Because last night when Cedric gave him the herbal book that recorded gill sac grass, he had the same expression.

John also accepted Harry's favor of telling him the content of the first project, and helping him today is also to repay that favor.

Seeing that Harry understood what he meant, John nodded with a smile, and then rode the horse-shaped water monster back and forth like the wind, and then went to look for the "treasure" mentioned in the golden egg prompt.

Harry froze for a moment, then laughed too.

His seemingly silly "capture" move in the first game saved his full second project.

It can only be said that there are still many good people!

……

Harry smiled knowingly under the water, but the situation on the surface of the water did not seem calm.

"Professor Hicks, what exactly do you mean by being a warrior?" Karkaroff stood up from the judges' seat again, and asked angrily, "You Ilvermorny plan to ally with Hogwarts, to suppress Are we Durmstrang and Beauxbatons?!"

Their previous conflict had only just been put down by the joint efforts of Dumbledore and Bagman.

At the time, thanks to Percy's finding out that the Warriors could use anything on the playing field to help them play, there was no reason for Karkaroff to keep fighting.

But he had only been quiet for a few minutes, and when he saw the two warriors teaming up, he couldn't help but want to rant again.

"I don't quite understand, Professor Karkaroff, do you have persecution paranoia?" Professor Hicks is not a friendly person, and he stabbed back, "A kind person, Is there anything wrong with helping others when you see them in danger?"

"We don't want and don't need to waste time and effort targeting you Durmstrang!"

"But this is a game, not a casual weekday." Karkaroff said angrily, "He is helping his competitor, which is very important to Kowalski himself and other warriors." unfair!"

"If you have enough charisma, you can also ask other warriors to help your warriors voluntarily, instead of jumping around like a clown here." Professor Hicks gave him a contemptuous look, and shook his head casually. Shake your head.

"You...you are insulting a referee!" Karkaroff's face was flushed with anger, his right hand was twitching constantly, as if he was forcibly enduring not to draw out his wand to cast a spell.

Or, if he could have fought, he might have drawn his wand long ago.

But Professor Hicks is a well-known master of spells, and she was a well-deserved first-tier combat force in the global wizard war against Grindelwald decades ago, and she is not as nice as Dumbledore, so the card Karloff was really a little embarrassed facing her.

"I'm also a referee, Karkaroff." Seeing Karkaroff's expression, Professor Hicks showed a faint smile, and corrected, "In my opinion, we just disagree on judging the players, resulting in Just a little friendly conflict."

Seeing that Karkaroff's face was getting darker, Bagman, as the only official from the Ministry of Magic present, hurried forward to smooth things over for the two of them.

"Professor Hicks, Professor Karkaroff, it's normal for the two referees to have conflicting opinions," he said, "but you really don't need to quarrel..."

"Including riding the horse-shaped water monster before, since Harry and Mr. Kowalski did not violate the rules, they cannot punish those two warriors;"

"Similarly, since Mr. Karkaroff thinks that their behavior is unfair to other warriors, it is better to reflect this point in the score, which is a meaningful thing, right?"

Bagman wiped his sweat, feeling that all the emotional intelligence in his life was spent today.

Karkaroff snorted coldly and sat back on the chair again, agreeing with Bagman's statement.

It is conceivable that in this competition, he will severely pressure the other contestants...

In the auditorium not far away, the little wizards didn't know that a battle almost broke out on the referee's side. They were still looking at the huge old parchment with great interest, carefully watching the wonderful operations of the five warriors in the lake.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is still John riding a horse-shaped water monster.

Before the other warriors had swam far, he had already ridden a large part of the Black Lake on a water monster.

"It's strange, why didn't I see Rove come to watch the game? I'm still waiting to ask him the specific information about the handsome water monster his cousin is riding!"

In the auditorium of Hufflepuff College, Justin Finch, who was born as a Muggle and was in the same class as Rove and Harry, looked around and said with some disappointment.

"Yeah, this game is so interesting, it's a pity that Rove doesn't come." Susan Bones nodded in agreement.

"Maybe Rove went to another house?" Ernie McMillan guessed, "Hasn't he been hanging out with that crazy girl in Ravenclaw?"

Just as the little wizards of Hufflepuff kept guessing, a voice suddenly rang in their ears:

"Don't guess, he has other more important tasks today."

Ernie, Susan, and Justin all turned their heads and saw Dracula's signature silver hair and black-red cloak.

"Professor Dracula, you've finally wandered here?" Susan said in surprise, "We were thinking just now, you've been floating around the arena, why haven't you come to Hufflepuff's side yet?" !"

The corners of Dracula's mouth twitched. He always felt that the little witch's use of words such as "dangling" and "floating" to describe herself was a bit unpleasant, but he couldn't find anything worth refuting.

Fortunately, Ernie McMillan on the side quickly changed the topic, so that Dracula didn't have to worry about how to refute Susan's description.

"Professor, did you just say that Rove has other more important tasks?" Ernie asked, "What tasks can he have? It can't be to tame another horse-shaped water monster, right?"

"That's not true." Dracula looked at the picture on the title deed, smiled and shook his head, "But look at Kowalski's progress, you should know soon."

On the title deed, the large square frame formed by Harry and John split into two again.

At present, John is still far ahead, riding a horse-shaped water monster to look around.

Among the other four warriors, Harry's progress was the fastest.

On the one hand, the effect of the gills grass is really good. He carefully avoided the search of the mermaid in the lake, and he was able to swim quickly with his palms and flippers adapted to the aquatic environment.

On the other hand, when Harry was rescued by John, he also took a ride on the horse-shaped water monster, and sat for a long distance, so he opened a big gap with the other three.

Judging from the exploration progress, among the remaining three warriors, Krum, who has turned into a shark head and has excellent water quality, has made the fastest progress; The hibiscus of the bubble head mantra is at the end.

Furong's swimming skills are actually no worse than Krum's. In addition, her body is slender and slender, and she receives very little resistance. Her limit speed is even faster than Krum's.

But after all, she is not a student of Durmstrang's school built at a higher latitude, and she is not as good as Krum's ability to adapt to cold water. The cold lake water in February has greatly reduced her body function, and she can't go all out at all. play.

Seeing another group of mermaids swarming towards the slow-moving Furong, Justin Fenriely, who was watching the title deed screen nervously, became a little anxious.

"Why are these ugly mermaids again, they are too hateful!" He said angrily, "And these mermaids have ruined all my fantasies about mermaids, huh..."

"Oh?" Dracula became interested, "What fantasy do you have about mermaids?"

"I originally thought that mermaids were the kind of mermaids in fairy tales—the kind with long hair and a good figure." Justin murmured sadly,

"But the mermaid in the Black Lake at Hogwarts is not beautiful at all - iron-gray skin, unkempt hair, broken teeth..."

"Sure enough, fairy tales are full of lies!"
