"What's going on?" the referees and spectators argued.

Dumbledore seemed to finish communicating with the merfolk leader until the merfolk leader glared at Jon with his rude eyes, and then ordered his subordinates to let Victor Krum and Harry Potter go.

The merfolk returned to Hogsmeade.

Albus Dumbledore held Crum with the shark's head in one hand and Harry Potter with the other hand and feet turned into webbed hands and feet, and led them back to the rostrum.

Professor Karkaroff and Professor McGonagall rushed over to catch the two students.

Meanwhile, Astoria has woken up.

Jon hugged her and patted her on the back...... She spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water, opened her eyes, and blinked a few times in the bright light.

"You succeeded?" Astoria said happily, though in a weak tone, "Great...... Professor Snape told me about your mission......"

"Yes. Jon nodded, "And saved a few more ......"

......

"What the hell is going on?" said Karkaroff as he waved his wand over Krum's head.

His wand had no effect...... It was Professor McGonagall who ran over and lifted the Transfiguration on the top of Krum's head.

Dumbledore ignored him, instead looking at Jon curiously, "El (the merfolk leader) told me that you attacked them and then rescued all the hostages?"

That ugly mermaid was a female?Jon couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear the name.

"Yes, Professor. He grabbed Astoria's hand and explained calmly, "Because she's also my friend......"

As he spoke, Jon gestured to Hermione, who had not yet woken up.

"And that little girl......" Jon pointed to Gabrielle, who was being held in Fleur's arms, "Her face was purple and blue, and she looked terrible, and she could die at any moment." ”

"And her. Jon then pointed to Cho-Chang, who was vomiting there, "A friend of mine would be very sad if she died underwater." ”

"If Harry, Krum, and Delacour hadn't arrived, they'd all ......be dead," Jon said with a heavy face, "I'm sorry, Professor, but I don't want to see that happen, so I have to......"

"Jon, you fool!" Astoria whispered into his ear, "You don't take that song seriously, do you? Dumbledore won't let any of us drown!"

"But...... The song says......" Jon argued.

"That's just to get you back in time!" Astoria said, shaking her head, "Professor Dumbledore has promised us that there will be no security issues for either the players or the hostages...... I hope you haven't lost time here because of your heroes......"

Jon's face suddenly showed a look of dejection and panic.

"Yes, there was no delay at all. Dumbledore suddenly laughed: "By the way, I also eliminated two opponents." ”

"Elimination, what do you mean, Dumbledore?" Karkaroff couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Maybe my statement isn't standard, but it's over. Dumbledore said calmly.

"It can't be...... It was just an accident!" Karkaroff argued excitedly.

"Yes, it's over!" Percy Weasley walked over with a piece of parchment, "The rules of the tournament state that if all four players leave Hogsmeade Lake, it means that the game is over for less than an hour...... Now ......"

As she spoke, Percy glanced at the four players on the shore, "It's indeed over, Jon Hart is the only one who managed to save his hostages." ”

"It's not fair at all!" Kakaroff roared, "Krum hasn't had a chance to perform yet......"

"The rules of the Goblet of Fire cannot be changed!" Percy said nonchalantly.

"If you can escape from a few hundred merfolk and four men to shore, then it's not fair, Karkaroff!" Severus Snape strode from the rostrum, shouting.

Karkaroff couldn't help but shudder, he took a few steps back and did not speak.

"Yes, the boy did a great job!" Madame Maxim also spoke, "quite a noble act, but also a very dangerous decision...... Not everyone has the courage to fight a few hundred fishmen. ”

Ludo Bagman wanted to refute something, but seeing that everyone else agreed, he closed his mouth in amusement.

"Since there are no objections, let's start scoring!" Dumbledore suggested.

He glanced at the angry Karkarov and added: "By the way, Igor, in order to prevent the same player from having a big difference in points like after the first event...... In the second event, two new judges will be added to the scoring process, and the lowest and highest scores will also be deducted from the final score. ”

Looking at Karkaroff's expression, Jon sensed that he might faint at any moment.

"New ...... Which two...... The referee ......," he said with a slight stammer.

"I ...... And Minerva. Snape stepped forward, and as he spoke, he looked at Harry Potter as he stood in front of Cho Chang in a daze.

"But before that, I have a question!" Dumbledore turned and looked back at Jon, "How did you escape from hundreds of merfolk with them?"

"Except to rely on that poor phoenix......," Dumbledore added.

"Uh......" Jon opened his mouth, just about to explain-

"I found it!" Professor Flitwick's shrill voice suddenly rang out, as he said, waving his wand as if to scoop something out of the water.

The eggs of a fiery snake the size of a hill floated out of the water, and the luster on it gradually dimmed.

Under Flitwick's control, the egg gradually regained its original size and was once again sealed with ice.

"An egg of a fiery snake with an expansion charm!" Dumbledore suddenly realized, and then laughed, "It's funny that Kettleburn used it to blow up almost the entire Hogwarts castle, and now you used it to almost blow up Hogsmeade Lake...... Looks like I'm going to have to consider adding it to Mr. Filch's list of prohibited items. ”

......

The referees all left their side.

"Let's go, too!" Jon whispered as he grabbed Astoria, ready to take her somewhere warmer.

Because she was almost soaking wet all over her body.

However, someone else came over.
