Chapter 290, the second competition

The next morning. Writing%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info After the morning workout, Bruce went to Hagrid's before the three of them got up, and he was going to send the letter to the Leaky Cauldron first. Along with Hagrid was a new Ring, which had been sent by Ollivander this morning.

Hagrid was overjoyed to see the Lord of the Rings, and it was romantic to be able to give a ring for Christmas. At the Yule Ball last night, Hagrid and Madame Maxime "interacted" very frequently, and if they gave another "Lord of the Rings" today, the relationship between the two would definitely go further.

When Bruce returned to the dorm, Hermione Harry Ron had already gotten up, and the four of them were ready to experiment with the Bubble Head Charm. Of course, Bruce wasn't going to go to the lake on a cold day like Harry and Ron did, and the four of them went to the bathroom that Cedric had told Harry about that few people visited.

Harry already had a gill, so he didn't plan to use the Bubble Head Charm, so Bruce had to complete the "experiment" alone. Although he and Hermione were already in a relationship, the two failed to break through the last layer of relationship, so Bruce was embarrassed to be naked in front of Hermione.

Fortunately, almighty magic can do anything, so Bruce jumped directly into the pool with his clothes on, and Hermione Harry and Ron were outside to pinch the time.

The results were still very good, two of the three experiments lasted a little more than an hour, and the second time it didn't last for an hour, but it was only a few seconds.

Although the Bubble Head Charm succeeded, Bruce discovered a fatal flaw in it. Although the "bubbles" of the bubble head spell are created by magic, they will still burst if stimulated by the outside world.

If the second match is going to be played separately like the first, that's fine, but if it's a group of five, then the rules of the game allow the players to attack each other before. So if Bruce was going to use the Bubble Head Charm, in addition to completing the task within an hour, he had to make sure that he couldn't be attacked by other players.

Although this shortcoming is obvious, they can also make up for it with Bruce. Even if the team members could attack each other before, Bruce and Harry were definitely not afraid of the other three when they joined forces. And Harry also said that the cheek grass is almost invulnerable in the water.

For the rest of the day, Bruce and Harry spent almost three or four hours of the day in the water, in addition to their classes. This time, thanks to the magic of the Room of Requirement, when the two decided to "practice" their swimming skills, there was an additional pool in the Room of Requirement.

Because the gill grass is so precious, Harry also uses the Bubble Head Charm during training. After more than a month of practice, in addition to the great progress of the two's swimming skills, their "water fighting" has also improved a lot.

Finally, on February 24th, the second competition will begin. Although it was already February, the temperature was still very low, especially since the game was to be held in the water, and in order to ensure the safety of the five people to the greatest extent, the game was held at noon with the highest temperature.

Even though they had been practicing for a long time, Bruce and Harry were still nervous. At breakfast time, facing the food in front of them, the two of them had no appetite at all.

"Bruce, eat some!" Hermione placed a loaf of bread in front of Bruce.

Bruce smiled wryly, "Thank you, dear!" However, I was worried that if I ate too much, I would vomit in the water later. ”

"Then eat less." Hermione said, "Harry, you can eat some too." ”

Harry said, "Thank you, but I'll wait until dinner to make it up." ”

Ron said, "Forget it, Hermione! The two of them must be nervous now, don't push them! ”

Hermione nodded, and said, "I'll bring some chocolate and hot tea later, and you can drink a little before you go into the water, so it will feel better." ”

Bruce nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

Just then, Moody limped over. Harry beckoned, "Good morning, Professor! ”

"Good morning, kids!" Moody said, "Harry, Bruce, how's the game going?" ”

Bruce said, "It's okay! Professor, is there something to do with us? ”

Moody said, "No, it's Albus who wants Granger and Weasley, and I'm going to call them over." ”

"Dumbledore looking for us? What's up? Ron asked.

Moody said, "I don't know about this, you two come with me." Oh! By the way, you two can prepare too. I think you'll be going to leave later. ”

Hermione stood up and said to Bruce, "Then I'll go over first, and I'll wait for you by the lake later." ”

"Okay!" Bruce said.

Moody led Hermione and Ron away, and sure enough, Barty Crouch arrived at the restaurant a few moments later to inform the five players to go to the lake. By the time they came to the lake, five tall "stands" had been erected in the center of the lake, and all five of them were arranged on a single shelf.

At noon, students from the three schools came to the "shelf" in the lake one after another to watch the game. Although it was noon, the temperature did not rise, but it became colder because of the wind.

Bruce changed into a swimsuit and went outside, and although he still had a robe on his body, he still felt a biting cold. On the other four shelves, Harry and all four of them were trembling.

At this moment, Dumbledore's high-pitched voice echoed across the surface of the lake through an amplification spell.

"Welcome to the second game! This morning, we took something important from the players, a fortune, and everybody's wealth was placed in the Black Lake......"

Hearing this, Bruce thought in surprise, "I'll go, didn't they take my Gringotts deposit?" ”

"You only have an hour. Within an hour you must find your riches and reach the lake safely. Again, I repeat that you only have one hour, and in an hour your magic will be forcibly deactivated. The game will start after the cannon fires, and you have a few minutes to prepare. ”

At the bottom of each stand, each contestant is making final preparations. Madame Maxime was saying something to Fleur. Karkaroff was taking down his robe for Krum, and Dean Flitwick was floating in the air chatting with Cedric. Harlena, Moody was pouring a bottle into his mouth, and judging by Harry's expression, it was not a good thing in the bottle, and Professor McGonagall was telling Bruce to be safe over and over again.

"Professor McGonagall, did you see Hermione and Ron?" Bruce asked.

Bruce had been looking for Hermione and Ron since the students had just entered, but he hadn't seen them. Professor McGonagall said: "They should be in the stands. You should be focusing on the game now, this lake is not a playground. ”

Bruce nodded and said, "I see, Professor!" ”

"Bang!"

With the sound of a cannon, the game began.

"Bruce, stay safe!" Professor McGonagall reminded.

Bruce said confidently, "Don't worry, Professor! I'll be the first to come out. ”

After saying that, he jumped into the water and cast a bubble head spell in the water. A bubble appeared on his head. In an instant, the "touch" of the water disappeared, and Bruce was able to breathe freely.

At this time, he also looked towards the other four, Cedric and Fleur had also used the Bubble Head Charm, and Harry didn't look the same, but his feet seemed to be getting longer. What surprised him the most was Krum, who turned into a shark after using an Animagus or some other spell. Then he swung his tail and rushed out.

"I'll go! Fortunately, it's not the speed of the game, otherwise who can beat him. Bruce thought in surprise.

At this point, Harry swam to Bruce's side. Bruce saw the change in Harry, with "gills" on his face and an extra layer of webbing on his hands and feet.

The Bubble Head Charm could keep water out but couldn't speak, so Bruce motioned for Harry to go. Krum was long gone, and Fleur and Cedric had swam away.

Bruce and Harry swam towards the depths of the lake, but a problem arises. Bruce's Bubble Head Charm only allows him to breathe in the water, but his speed in the water cannot be changed. Harry's current form was completely water-born, and Bruce's speed couldn't keep up with him.

So, Bruce motioned for Harry to leave first. If Harry couldn't get the job done for his own reasons, Bruce didn't want to see it.

Harry also had his own ideas, Bruce's speed was already fast for ordinary people, but it couldn't compare to him. So Harry decided to leave first to look for clues, and when he found it, he would take Bruce there, after all, all the magic would be gone if it took more than an hour.

Harry immediately sped up and left, and Bruce swam "slowly" towards the depths of the lake. The lake was not only big but also deep, and Bruce didn't know what they were putting in the lake, let alone all his possessions, even if all the Galleons from Gringotts had moved over, it would not be easy to find such a large area.

I don't know how long it took for the environment around Bruce to change. Aquatic plants float in the water, like an underwater forest.

In Bruce's opinion, this should be a good place to hide, but it is also a good place to ambush. He cautiously came to the aquatic plants, but when he came in, he realized that he still underestimated this "underwater forest".

The dense aquatic plants were huddled together and it was impossible to see what was hidden behind them, so Bruce had to swim forward with all his attention. After about five minutes of swimming, the aquatic plants gradually thinned, and Bruce forced the pain in his thighs to speed up, but at this moment......

"Whoosh!"

There was a grinding sound, and Bruce didn't think much of it and swam to it, a spell brushing past his feet.

"Holy!" Bruce cursed and hurriedly looked to the side, but was stunned.

The initiator was wearing a silver swimsuit, and his white skin was like jasper in the water, and what was worse was ...... This is the temptation of uniforms. Even though he was attacked, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Fleur Bruce in a swimsuit.

But when he came back to his senses, Bruce came up, he thought that he had a good relationship with Fleur, but he didn't expect that the first person to sneak up on him was her.

Bruce gestured to Fleur with an angry face, which meant "Why are you attacking me?" ”

Fleur raises her wand and Bruce thinks she's going to attack and swims backwards, only to find that Fleur is actually writing with spells. When a line of letters appeared in the water, Bruce almost cried.

"Either beat me up, or I'll tell Hermione when I get out: you're molesting me in the water!"
