After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

The leader of the mermaid tribe insisted that the two sides had agreed before that if the warriors did not take their treasures from the bottom of the lake, then the treasures would belong to the mermaid tribe. They thought that the little girl under the water was pretty and had a bit of veela blood. If she could reproduce with their mermaid tribe, maybe the little mermaids born would not be as ugly as them?

Dumbledore's pupils trembled on the spot.

The world has finally gone crazy.

Even mermaids, who have never cared about their appearance, have to look for good-looking humans to reproduce in order to improve the appearance of their offspring.

Dumbledore was the only one present who could communicate with the mermaid. The others could only see Dumbledore's shocked expression but could not understand what they were saying.

Ms. Maxime was so angry that she went straight over and kicked Dumbledore, causing him to sit on the deck.

The lady's elegance was thrown to waste at this moment.

"Just tell me what's going on. What's the matter with you being in a daze? You won't be in a hurry if he's not a student from your school, right?"

This was like putting Dumbledore on the spot.

Dumbledore told everyone what the mermaid leader had said with a complicated expression.

Ms. Maxime yelled, "This is what you tried so hard to persuade people to cooperate with. What's the point of you translating the fish's words to me? Just order them to return Gabrielle!

Merlin, this is ridiculous!

If I had known that you, Dumbledore, were such an unreliable person, I should not have agreed to the proposal to hold the Triwizard Tournament again, and now you have harmed my students!"

Madame Maxime is a giant, big in stature and with a loud voice.

Even without using the sound-boosting magic, everyone on the shore could hear it clearly.

Yang Mei smacked her lips in surprise: "The mermaid tribe, it turns out that this is the kind of race... That ugly fish ran away."

The mermaid leader was not stupid. He didn't want to let them go, nor did he want to be beaten up here. Anyway, he had been talking in the lake, so it would only take a moment for him to escape.

Madam Maxime screamed angrily: "Dumbledore! I'm making this clear today. Regardless of whether you save my students in the end, you will pay a heavy price for your dereliction of duty!"

But there is no point in saying all this now, the most urgent task is to find Gabrielle Delacour.

Dumbledore was so shocked by what the mermaid chief said that he did not express his firm opposition to him at the first time, and he did not even use a binding magic to take the fish out of the lake.

If they had done that, they would now have one in exchange for Gabrielle's important fish.

But unfortunately, they let the mermaid leader run away.

A group of middle-aged and elderly men and women looked at the lake in silence for two seconds.

In the end, it was Fleur Delacour who wiped her tears and stood up: "Since you are not willing to save my sister, I will go and find Gabrielle myself!"

Having said that, he jumped into the lake cleanly and neatly.

This looks no different from suicide.

The remaining girls of Beauxbatons squatted helplessly on the dock and called out Delacour's name, then looked at their headmaster, Ms. Maxime, with panic in their eyes.

Digory took a few deep breaths and said, "I'll go and help look for it."

So he jumped into the lake.

Krum also wanted to help. After looking at Morsus and finding that the other party had no objection, he said hello to Hermione and jumped into the lake.

Afterwards, several Hogwarts students who claimed that they were good swimmers and could perform the Bubble Head Charm volunteered to go into the lake to save people.

To be honest, the professors were shocked.

Among those students who went into the lake to save people, there were some who were usually naughty, such as the Weasley twins, but now...

"That's great, it's really touching, what do you think, Mr. Dumbledore?" Yang Mei said with emotion, "I always thought that under your leadership, Hogwarts had long since become a place of fame and fortune where people's hearts are full of evil, but now it seems that there are still good people who can distinguish right from wrong, right?

I hope the next Hogwarts headmaster will not be as unreliable as Mr. Dumbledore. After all, no one wants to go to school with so many life-threatening situations."

"What, what does this mean?" stammered Ludo Bagman.

Barty Crouch's voice was emotionless: "After such an accident, I'm afraid the headmaster of Hogwarts will have to be replaced."

"But this change was not Albus's intention!" Professor McGonagall must speak for Dumbledore.

"If he did it on purpose, it would not be as simple as just losing the principal's position." Morsus' eyes were filled with murderous excitement.

Professor McGonagall thought to herself that you led the Death Eaters to kill so many people more than ten years ago, but now you haven't responded to being killed.

However, even if this was said in front of Morsus, Morsus would just smile and say that he had already died once.

It's just that he was lucky and was able to survive after death.

Is Dumbledore lucky enough?

"At this moment, you are not worried about the students who have not come out of the lake yet, but are worried about Dumbledore's position as headmaster. I really admire you." Yang Mei mocked everyone indiscriminately.

Yes, students under the lake!

Professor McGonagall was genuinely ashamed.

With a girl's life or death in danger and many students going into the lake to search for her, she was still thinking about how to keep the position of Hogwarts headmaster for the leader of their Order of the Phoenix!

“Although I don’t like to meddle in other people’s business, I also want to get involved today.” Yang Mei pulled out her magic wand, and a beam of silver light shot straight into the lake.

The magical light did not create a single splash, but sank directly into the water.

Everyone doesn't know why.

A few seconds later, huge waves appeared on the lake.

Those who did not have time to hide by the lake were all covered with lake water.

When I looked towards the lake again, I saw a terrifyingly huge half body exposed above the surface of the lake, with most of the body still hidden under the dark water.

"Yuri, long time no see. I haven't seen you basking in the sun on the lake recently." Yang Mei greeted the giant octopus Yuri in a cheerful tone.

"I'm here, sleeping." The giant octopus' voice sounded very much like the whistle of a cruise ship, but its speaking speed was as if it was possessed by a thousand-year-old turtle.

Yang Mei patted the giant octopus's tentacles on the deck and said, "I'm here to ask you for help today. Under this black lake, all the humans, one by one, please bring them all up alive. If the mermaids are arrogant and don't want to let us go, then... why don't you give yourself a meal? Sleeping is very exhausting, so you need to eat more so you have the strength to sleep."

The giant octopus's eyes, which were as big as tires, slowly moved twice: "What you said makes sense."

Even though he speaks slowly, he is very capable in action.

There was no need for Yang Mei to urge it, the giant octopus suddenly sank into the lake.

Hunting time!

Dumbledore still had some concerns: "As far as I know, the magical creatures today are far less diverse than they were thousands of years ago, and the mermaids are now on the verge of extinction. If the octopus eats all the mermaids in the Black Lake, I'm afraid the mermaids will be wiped out!"

Yang Mei rolled his eyes. This old man only knew how to say things he didn't like to hear.

It was this old guy who said at the beginning that he had to talk a lot to finally get the mermaids to cooperate in the competition. It was also this old guy who did not sign a contract with the mermaids, causing them to go back on their word and detain the students. It was also this old guy who let the mermaid leader run away and was helpless. Now it’s still this old guy who is saying bullshit like he’s worried about the mermaids being exterminated!

"I understand you, Mr. Dumbledore, so you can go into the lake to save the ugly mermaid who is about to fall into the octopus's mouth. If you go down too late, it will be too late!" Yang Mei made a "please" gesture, and the direction of the invitation was the Black Lake.

Dumbledore didn't go into the water in the end.

The old man was thick-skinned and acted as if he hadn't said anything just now.

"I haven't seen a giant octopus since the beginning of this school year. I almost forgot about it." Draco poked his head out from behind Yang Mei.

"You are so focused on falling in love that how can you think of poor Mr. Octopus?" Yang Mei teased.

Draco was unconvinced: "You are still talking about me, aren't you busy with love?"

Yang Mei spread her hands: "But I remember to throw a few roast chickens to the giant octopus every week."

Draco: “…” Lost.

By the time waves appeared on the lake again, the sun had already set in the west.

The giant octopus grabbed two students in one of its tentacle, and then it waved its many tentacles in front of everyone, and all the students were thrown onto the deck.

Everyone who had gone down into the lake was present and alive, including Gabrielle Delacour.

Delacour held his sister's hand tightly and would not let go. Madam Maxime hurriedly took the girls from Beauxbatons to inquire about the situation.

After one competition, the contestants, judges and the audience were all exhausted both physically and mentally.

Barty Crouch was rarely rigid and directly told everyone to rest and adjust first, and it would not be too late to discuss small matters like scoring tomorrow.

……

Even faster than the results of the second competition were announced, the announcement of Dumbledore's removal from the position of headmaster of Hogwarts was made.

The announcement jointly issued by the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Board of Directors will not only be delivered to Hogwarts by Lucius himself, but will also be published in the Daily Prophet to be announced to the entire wizarding community.

This means that there is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter.

To make it more convincing, the notice stated how many life-threatening situations the students of Hogwarts had experienced in recent years under Dumbledore's leadership.

It even goes back decades to the events of allowing werewolves to enroll in school, werewolves attacking students... and how Tom Riddle became Voldemort.

The human heart is unpredictable, and the Dark Lord is not the only young man with aspirations and ambitions.

How come there wasn't a Dark Lord when other principals were in office, but one appeared when you were in office?

When something goes wrong, you blame others for being born bad. Why don’t you look for the cause in yourself? !

It's really Albus, the professional scapegoat for a hundred years, Dumbledore.

When it came to Gellert Grindelwald, he also said that it was all other people's fault, that Grindelwald's ideas were too extreme and his methods were not acceptable, and that he himself had no problems at all.

Because of these "regulations of previous years", the announcement was unexpectedly long. Even the Daily Prophet appeared as a "memorial-style" newspaper because of publishing this announcement, which was very novel.

If there were no such "previous regulations" and Dumbledore was simply removed from his position, there would definitely be people who would protest. After all, there are still many people who regard Dumbledore as the "God of Light."

However, because of the foreshadowing of "Two or Three Things About Dumbledore" some time ago, and the fact that this announcement was too detailed, it discussed Dumbledore's dereliction of duty from all aspects.

Who would dare to object to this?

Every family has young people. What if your children encounter dangers like those reported in newspapers while going to school?

Based on this, no one cared about Dumbledore's life or death.

Besides, he just lost his job, not his life.

Besides, he is so old now, he can be called retired. Retired sounds better than unemployed.

Even though Dumbledore was laid off, Hogwarts couldn't be without its headmaster.

Snape seamlessly became the new headmaster of Hogwarts.

He is already the principal, so logically he cannot be the dean.

So Regulus, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was promoted and became the new head of Slytherin House.

All are happy.

All the students, including Gryffindors, were quite satisfied. After all, although Professor Snape was strict and scary, he was visibly reliable.

Now let’s talk about the scoring of the second competition of the Triwizard Tournament.

Diggory got the highest score, followed by Krum, and Harry and Delacour both got zero points.

It is worth mentioning that after the competition, everyone counted and found that there were still casualties in the second competition. That was Harry's Firebolt that had been broken into pieces at the bottom of the lake.

The scene was too chaotic, and Harry was worried about the little girl who was kidnapped by the shameless mermaids, so he didn't even think about his "treasure" at the bottom of the lake.

Then his "treasure" became the only victim of the day.

Harry: “…” I’m quite speechless.

The first thing Snape did after becoming the headmaster was to compensate Harry with a new Firebolt on behalf of the school.

His original words were: "Although the rules of the second competition say 'If the warrior cannot bring his treasure from the bottom of the lake to the shore within one hour, he will lose his treasure forever', it is obvious that this rule is just to inspire the warriors to move forward bravely.

We rescued Delacour's sister when she had an accident, so there's no reason for us to ignore Potter's 'broken treasure'. We should at least compensate him with a new one."

Harry was holding the new rocket crossbow in a daze. He said to Yang Mei and Draco, "It turns out that Professor Snape will be more friendly to me if he becomes the headmaster. He should have become the headmaster earlier."

Yang Mei looked at Dumbledore behind Harry and gave Harry a polite smile.

Dumbledore's mood was naturally very complicated, but he still pretended not to hear anything and coughed twice.
