Admiral of Hogwarts

357 Game over

One hour passed quickly. Except for Veneto who ended the game in five minutes, everyone else timed out during the game. The one with the shortest timeout was Krum, who only exceeded five minutes.

It took Harry and Fleur ten more minutes to return together. Although Harry arrived at the Mermaid Village earlier than the other two, he did not leave until he was sure that everyone else had reunited with his hostages.

Unlike in the original novel, Fleur was indeed attacked in the water plants. But this time she successfully got rid of the attacking Grindylows and just wasted some time.

Apparently, she took the mermaid's singing as seriously as Harry did. So after landing, I hugged my sister and cried desperately, as if I had regained some kind of treasure.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Harry said to Hugo, who had been waiting here for a long time, after he and Ginny drank the potion handed over by Madam Pomfrey and put a blanket on themselves.

"This is obviously just a game. I think both Veneto and Krum should know this. I was the only one who foolishly took this threat seriously, and ended up coming back in the end."

"No, I think it's very admirable that you made that choice before." Hugo shook his head. "At least this shows that you have a sufficient sense of responsibility."

"But from another perspective, it's not a good idea to be so hot-blooded as you are." Hermione interjected at this time.

"If I want to deal with you, I can easily trap you by attacking people related to you, or even just by making you believe that I will attack people related to you.

"Because when you encounter this type of problem, you often get excited the first time, and then ignore all the doubts and rush into the trap yourself." "

"Okay, it seems I do have some problems in this area." Harry shook his head helplessly. In his eyes, he always felt that Hermione was like his sister, so he felt natural after being criticized like this by someone close to him. Not so good.

Fortunately, Lady Luck did not completely abandon him. After seeing him a little depressed, Ginny with wet hair reached out and grabbed Harry's head, moved it towards her, and then kissed him directly.

At this time, Ron happened to squeeze through the crowd and wanted to say something to Harry. At this moment, when he saw his sister and Harry kissing, he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

But other spectators in the stands who saw this scene applauded, and some even whistled. Even the referees who were preparing to score were distracted by the sudden cheers.

"It can be said that stupid people are blessed." Veneto said while looking at the kissing couple, "Obviously, a girl like Ginny who is dominated by Harry is the most suitable partner for him."

"You're right." Hermione nodded and said, "After all, Harry will be stronger sometimes, and a strong person will need a partner who is a little weaker in front of him, otherwise they will definitely quarrel every day. .”

At this moment, a trace appeared on the water, and then a mermaid emerged from the water. Dumbledore walked to the water's edge and communicated with her using the sharp and harsh sounds that mermaids make on the water.

After a few minutes, the two sides ended the exchange. Dumbledore returned to the referee's table and chatted quietly with all the referees. It seemed that he wanted to make some adjustments to the scoring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Mercus, the leader of the mermaids, told us everything that happened under the lake. We have decided to rate the warriors as follows... "

"Although Fleur Delacour showed excellent use of the Bubble Charm, he was attacked by Greenlody when he was approaching the target and was the last to reach the destination. So we decided to give him 30 points."

There were bursts of applause from the stands, and Fleur nodded with satisfaction. Although the score is at the bottom now, considering his performance just now. Fleur felt that getting such a score could be said to be a blessing from Merlin.

"Victor Krum used the transformation technique. Although it was incomplete, it was still very effective. He was the second to return with the hostages, but it exceeded the game's allotted time, so we decided to give him 40 points. .”

The applause given to Krum was much louder than that given to Fleur, mainly because Krum's performance was better. Of course, the fact that he was an internationally renowned Quidditch star also earned him a lot of praise.

However, Klum doesn’t look very good now. After all, he ran into the competition with full confidence, but not only did he not get the first place in two consecutive competitions, he didn’t even get the second place, which obviously made him feel... Feeling a little uncomfortable.

At least before the start of the game, various media speculated on the outcome of the game. Most people felt that Klum should be able to gain an overwhelming advantage. However, it now seems that this mainly brought psychological pressure to Klum. .

"Harry Potter made the right choice and took the gillweed, which achieved amazing results. Like Miss Fleur, he was also the last to return.

However, the mermaid female leader told us that Mr. Porter was the first to find the hostages. He failed to return in time because he wanted to ensure that all the hostages could return safely, instead of only caring about his own hostages. "

"Most of the judges..." Bagman said, glancing at Karkaroff with great dissatisfaction: "They think this fully reflects the noble moral character, so...Mr. Potter's score is 42 points!"

There was once again warm cheers from the stands, and among the applause and cheers, Bagman's voice sounded again.

"In the end, Miss Vittorio Veneto showed us her super level of transformation and flexible use of magic, and rescued the hostage in just five minutes, so we decided that Miss Veneto's score is - —48 points!”

"I guess there is a high probability that Karkaroff gave you a low score." Hugo said to Veneto while applauding. "Only this guy can score blindly with his eyes closed."

Wave after wave of cheers rang out in the stands. After all, Hogwarts was home for this game, so everyone naturally became excited after seeing their classmates from their school take first place.

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 6," Bagman continued. "The Warriors will be informed about the specifics of the project a month in advance. Thank you for your support to the Warriors."

"It looks like I can rest for a long time." Veneto said softly, looking at the tranquil Black Lake and the cheering crowd in the stands. "After all, we have a lot of busy work to do next, so it would be nice to have some free time."

"Indeed, especially during this period we happen to have a big project to be busy with." Hugo nodded. “It’s good to have enough time to do your own thing.”

Just when everyone returned to the castle, Hugo saw the Weasley twins with satisfied smiles on their faces. Apparently, they had done a good job selling things while everyone was bored this time.

It has to be said that compared to most of the spectators on the field, the Weasley twins gained enough benefits from this competition and made a lot of money through a competition that was extremely boring to the audience.
