Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

More than half of the time has passed, and the current situation on the field is that one warrior has been eliminated, and one warrior has successfully rescued his partner.

The game is still going on.

There are still three warriors in the black lake who are still struggling to swim, looking for the "treasure" in the hint given by the golden egg.

Finally, when there were only ten minutes left before the one-hour time limit, Harry swung his webbed fingers, breathed through the gills on the outside of his neck, and swam to the mermaid village where John had been before.

He swam past the mermaids vigilantly, for fear that the guys who raised Grindyll would suddenly stop them, and quickly swam around the mermaids singing in the small square, and swam to the rough stone statue.

On the tail of the mermaid carved out of huge stones, one of the five people who were originally tightly bound was rescued, and now there are still four people who have not been rescued.

"Ginny!"

Harry saw the little witch with fiery red hair at a glance.

He struggled to swim towards the place where the hostages were, and was careful to watch out for groups of merfolk nearby.

Harry thought the mermaids would attack him with steel forks, but fortunately, the mermaids kept their agreement with Dumbledore and did not do so.

The rope that tied the hostages to the statue was made of water grass, thick and slippery, and very strong.Moreover, there are countless strange knots in these ropes, which cannot be untied in a short time.

However, after the test just now, Harry didn't have the ability to use spells smoothly in the water, and couldn't cut the rope with the cutting spell, after all, he couldn't even use the silent spell... Now he only wished he had a knife with him.

Harry looked around, and there were many merfolk around the hostages with sharp steel forks in their hands.

So he swam quickly to a seven-foot merman with a long green beard and a choker of shark's teeth, and gestured to borrow its spear.

The mermaid laughed and shook her head.

"We can't help," he said in a husky, low voice through the water.

"Bring it here!" Harry said savagely.

But there were only some blisters coming out of his mouth, and no sound came out at all.

He swam forward a few feet quickly, grabbed the steel fork in the mermaid's hand, and tried to wrest it from him.

But even though Harry took the gills weed, which allowed him to adapt to the water environment, his strength was obviously not as strong as the mermaid who had been swimming in the water all year round.

The mermaid easily pulled back the steel fork, then threw Harry aside casually, and then burst out laughing, as if mocking the weakness of this so-called "warrior".

Harry didn't have time to get angry about it though, he turned eagerly in the water, then looked around for something sharp...anything...

Fortunately, there are some fragmented stone flakes scattered on the bottom of the lake, many of which are relatively sharp.

Harry swooped down, grabbed a particularly sharp one, and went back to the statue.

He hacked hard at the ropes that bound Ginny with stones. Even so, it took several minutes until his arms were sore that he could barely break the ropes.

With her eyes closed, Ginny floated delirious a few inches above the bottom of the lake, bobbing to and fro with the waves.

Harry took a few breaths from the cheek pouch on the side of his neck, and looked around blankly.

John should have rescued a hostage, but the other warriors are still missing.

Harry hesitated.

He heard a voice in his heart saying, as long as Ginny is rescued, the other hostages are the tasks of other warriors and have nothing to do with him.

Besides, according to the situation that there are still four people left, John must have only taken one person away...John, who has such a powerful helper, has only taken one person away, so why does he have to meddle in those nosy things?

Harry took Ginny's arm, ready to take her back to shore.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a strand of smooth black hair that was still tied to the stone statue——

Autumn Zhang.

Harry's memory flashed back to the second grade, the age when he was obsessed with this girl.

Even though he has let go of the throbbing of youth when he was young, it is not so easy to completely let go of him as a stranger... What's more, it is thanks to Cedric that he was able to get to this point.

Harry stopped swimming with his flippers.

His eyes moved, and it suddenly occurred to him that of course John didn't need to save other people——

When John came here, it was still early before the time limit of one hour. What he thought in his heart must be to finish the game as soon as possible, rather than doubting that other warriors could not save their "treasure"...

If it weren't for the fact that there were only 10 minutes left in the hour, Harry wouldn't have questioned whether the other warriors could come to this position.

However, if, as the mermaid's song said, the hostages would "rot here" after the one-hour time limit, then he couldn't just sit idly by!

Gritting his teeth, Harry suddenly turned around and swam back to the stone statue, picked up the sharp stone before, and knocked on the rope on Qiu Zhang.

The next moment, several pairs of thick, taupe hands grabbed him.

Six or seven mermen pulled him away from Cho Chang, shaking their green-haired heads and tugging at him viciously.

"You can only take your own hostages," one of the merfolk said to him, "don't worry about the others..."

"No!" Harry yelled angrily, but only two bubbles came out of his mouth.

"Your project is to rescue your own friends, never mind the others!" said the mermaid.

"She's my friend too!" Harry yelled loudly, pointing at Cho Zhang, and a big silver bubble came out of his lips soundlessly, "And I don't want anyone else to die either!"

Qiu Zhang's face was pale, and her long hair fluttered gently in the water. The little girl with silver hair had blue cheeks and looked lifeless.

Harry struggled to get away from the merman, but they pulled harder and pulled him back.

His chest heaved violently, and he looked around in despair.

Where have all the other warriors gone?If he got Ginny to the surface and came back to rescue Cho Chang and the others, would it be too late?Will he still find them?

He looked down at his watch, wondering how much time was left...but his watch was already soaked in water, and the hands didn't move.

At this moment, the surrounding mermaids suddenly pointed excitedly at the top of Harry's head, and let out bursts of sharp screams.

Harry looked up to see Cedric swimming towards them.

Cedric has a huge air bubble around his head, making his features look comically elongated and widened.

"Sorry, I got lost just now!" He lip-synced, with an equally nervous expression, "Fleur and Krum should be coming soon."

Harry felt a stone fell to the ground, and he watched Cedric with a little envy as he took out his wand from his pocket, used a silent spell to turn the stone into a knife, cut the rope quickly, and rescued Cho Chang.

After cutting the rope, Cedric turned his head and nodded to Harry, and pulled Cho Chang upriver, where he disappeared in no time.

Harry looked around, waiting.

He wanted to make sure that Fleur and Krum rescued their companions in time to prevent accidents happening to those hostages after more than an hour...

……

On the shore, outside the medical tent, Furong looked at the picture on the Hogwarts title deed with red eyes.

"Is this the friend Rove made at Hogwarts?" John also came to the medical tent, stood beside Fleur, and sighed softly, "He is indeed a silly boy, but he has to be admired."

He came here after rescuing Rove, and handed Rove over to Madam Pomfrey for a medical examination.

"Am I right? There will be a fool to save your sister." Dracula chuckled softly, "I may be able to guess why Dumbledore likes him so much."

In the judges' seat, Professor Hicks turned his head to look at Dumbledore and smiled slightly.

"Albus, you Hogwarts warriors handed over the No.2 you got, why do you feel so elated?" she asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I suddenly thought of something happy." Dumbledore said, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

……

In the depths of the Black Lake, another warrior came to the square where the hostages were.

Harry turned to see a huge creature swimming towards them, a human body in swimming trunks and a shark's head on top...it was Krum.

It looks like he's trying to create a body shapeshifter for himself, but it's not very successful... Or, it's only half successful.

Even so, the degree to which half of the human body can be deformed is quite remarkable.

The half-man, half-shark Krum swam straight to his Bulgarian national team-mate, Hilma Dennison.

Harry had a feeling that Krum seemed a bit disappointed when he saw that his "treasure" was Hilmar, as if he thought the hostage here should be someone else.

After Krum came to Hilma's side, he was a little helpless, pulling and biting the rope on him with the shark's mouth... The problem is that Krum's new teeth have a strange structure, and he can bite anything smaller than a dolphin. It all looks awkward.

And Harry can be sure that Krum's actions are not careful, he is going to tear Hilma in two... Harry rushed forward, patted Krum's shoulder hard, and lifted the piece pointed stone.

Krum grabbed it and started hacking at Hilma's rope.

As it turned out, Krum had far more strength than Harry, and he was successful in a matter of seconds.

He grabbed his teammate's waist, and without looking back, he quickly led him to the surface of the water.

Now there was only one hostage left, the little silver-haired girl.

Furong hasn't come here yet, what should I do?Harry thought anxiously.

He wasn't sure when the game time would come to an hour. It seemed that Furong must have encountered some trouble... There is no other way now, only...

Outside the medical tent, Fleur looked nervously at the picture on the land deed. Harry grabbed the stone thrown by Krum and came to Gabrielle Delacour's side.

But the mermaids gathered around Ginny and Gabriel, shaking their heads at Harry.

Harry drew his wand viciously.

"Get out of the way!" A string of bubbles came out of his mouth.

But he was well aware that the merfolk understood him, for their expressions changed suddenly, and they looked terrified with cloudy yellow eyes fixed on Harry's wand.

There were many of them, and Harry was alone.

But Harry could tell from the flustered looks on their faces that they seemed to be terrified of magic... just twenty minutes ago, the mermaid he was facing hadn't shown such emotions.

Bagman on the commentary seat had a weird expression, looking at Dracula standing on the shore.

"Obviously, these mermaids are afraid of the wand in Mr. Potter's hand..." he said, "If my guess is correct, the spell that Professor Dracula used to rescue Fleur not long ago gave the underwater mermen It left too much shock, and made them have an unprecedented awe of magic..."

In the depths of the Black Lake, Harry raised his wand high above his head.

"I'm counting to three!" he yelled, a stream of bubbles spewing from his mouth.

Harry held up three fingers to make sure they understood him.

"One!" He lowered one finger, and the mermaids looked at him blankly, but hesitated and did not move.

"Two..." He lowered his second finger.

The mermaid finally couldn't restrain the fear in his heart, and scattered in all directions, looking back at the wand in Harry's hand from time to time, for fear that he would launch a sudden attack.

Harry rushed forward, slashing Gabriel's rope as he had freed Ginny.

Finally, Gabriel is also free.

Harry picked up the two little witches, Ginny and Gabriel, one by one in each hand, kicked his feet, and left the bottom of the lake.

Even with the effect of gill grass, it is still very difficult for Harry to swim to the lake with two people, especially in this situation where both hands can't move smoothly.

Fortunately, the weight of the two little girls was so light that he could barely support them.

Harry flapped his webbed feet desperately, but within a few minutes, he found that these feet had turned back into ordinary human feet...

With a sudden sinking in his heart, he realized that an hour was up.

The merman swam up with him, and Harry saw them swimming around him with ease, watching him struggle in the water... Now that the time was up, would they pull him back to the bottom?Will they eat people?

Harry became more and more out of breath, and all kinds of terrible guesses kept appearing in his mind...

He began to realize very clearly how wet and cold the lake water in his mouth was... His consciousness gradually became thinner, and the two slender little witches held by his hands seemed to have turned into two heavy the shot put...

"Professor, Potter seems to have no strength..." Furong stood up from her seat with red eyes, and said anxiously to Dracula, "I beg you to save them quickly!"

Dracula frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.But he finally nodded and took a step forward.

At this moment, John suddenly stopped Dracula's movements.

He picked up a leaf that had been in his hand for a long time, and played a melodious melody.
