284 Truly loving baby
In the blink of an eye, February 24, 2012, the second game of the Triwizard Tournament came.
Harry believed that Arthur and Merlin did have a lot of secrets, and it was clear that Arthur seemed to know a little better, and Merlin seemed to have lost his memory as if he had lost his memory.
Before the second game, Arthur approached Harry and told him a way to breathe underwater, and Harry knew that Arthur was trying to curry favor with them, so that no one would stop him from making further contact with Merlin. However, Merlin was indeed very happy with Arthur, and if it was just a friendship, Harry thought that the two of them could get in touch.
It's just that when Arthur tells Harry that all he needs to do is jump into the water, Harry looks at him in surprise.
Arthur spread his hands and said, "I can't tell you anything specific, but you just have to trust me." ”
Harry looked at Arthur, believing or not believing that it was really a choice, although Harry didn't know what the so-called beloved baby that was taken away was, but if Arthur said that there was a little mistake, it didn't matter if he lost the game, it might be a pity if this beloved baby couldn't get it back.
But...... Harry thought Arthur was worth believing, and the two of them were standing face to face, and Arthur was waiting for Harry to speak, whether to believe or refuse.
After a moment of silence, Harry said, "Well, I trust you. ”
For Merlin's sake, believe you, in Harry's opinion, Arthur may not be just a friend of the Lestrade family in the future.
Arthur exhaled, "You just have to swim like you normally would." ”
Arthur had already asked the fairies of the lake, although they were sometimes unreliable, but they still had some things to figure out, and Arthur also made a small threat at that time, if they didn't agree, he dragged Merlin to ask them for help.
Although the fairies of the lake liked Merlin very much, they didn't want to scare the amnesiac Merlin, so they refused.
On February 24th, Harry had a strange feeling that something was going to happen today.
Harry needed to go to the Warriors' room before the game started, and as he left the brothers, he shook their hands, the feeling in his heart never went away, and Harry hugged Draco at the end, he needed to relax himself.
"Why Scarhead, are you scared?"
Harry laughed on his shoulder when he heard Draco's voice,
"No, I'm just a little worried, really."
"So there's Harry? What about what Potter can't handle, I thought Harry? Potter can do anything. ”
Harry? Potter wasn't a god, certainly not omnipotent, but he whispered in Draco's ear, "If it's for you, I'd do anything." ”
Harry didn't know what a flag he had set by saying that.
Draco's cheeks flushed slightly, and he pushed Harry away to let him go. Harry let go of Draco and ran up the steps in three or two steps, waving at them and leaving.
Draco looked at Harry as he left, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Loki's playful eyes, and he snorted and walked away first, refusing to give Loki a chance to have a long mouth.
He hadn't taken a few steps before Professor Snape called out to him from behind, saying that he was telling him something.
Draco frowned, wondering if something had happened to his father, or if his intimacy with Harry had just been seen by his esteemed professor, and Draco followed Snape away with trepidation.
"Why did Snape suddenly call Draco away at this time?"
Loki was a little skeptical, everyone should be preparing to watch the Triwizard Tournament at this time, and the professors should be coping with the competition. Thor frowned, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration for something, "Brother, do you remember the beloved baby in the lyrics that Harry heard?" The lyrics don't specifically say whether it's an object or a ...... Man. ”
Loki showed a surprised expression, then laughed, he took Merlin's hand and said with a smile, "If that's the case, there's a good show to watch." ”
Loki wouldn't worry about Draco's safety, and what Harry said just now was not a prophecy, it turns out that there is really such a coincidence in the world, Harry's true love baby, it turned out to be Draco and not their brothers, Loki tilted his head and thought about how to use this to make fun of Harry.
Thor looked at Loki's smiling face and scratched his head, isn't it a big deal for my brother to watch the excitement?
Draco followed Snape to a room, and he unexpectedly saw several familiar people when he left, one was the sister of Fleur, the only female warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, and Gabrey, the former dance partner of Krum? Delacour. And is there autumn in Ravenclaw? Zhang, if Draco remembers correctly, this person should be Cedric's girlfriend, and the next one is Hermione.
Hermione was also very strange when she saw Draco, but Hermione and Draco looked at each other and understood what they meant, it was strange to call them before the Triwizard Tournament, and several of them seemed to be related to the Triwizard Tournament Warriors.
Hermione looked at the other three people present, the beloved treasure that the warriors had taken away might not be an item but a person.
Gabrielle? Delacour, is it Fleur? Delacour's sister must also be the one he cherishes the most. And autumn? Zhang was Cedric's girlfriend, and of course the boy held the baby in the palm of his hand, and she and Draco ......
If Hermione might have thought that Harry was an important person before Draco appeared, then she was already unsure after Draco appeared, and Hermione guessed that she should be related to Krum, that person liked her, didn't she.
And the one beside her.
Hermione looked at Draco and smiled and narrowed her eyes, whoever chose them was very interesting, about Harry's beloved baby not choosing his three brothers, not Harry's friends, but Draco? Malfoy, no one knows if there's anything wrong with this.
Snape looked at Draco standing with the other three with a cloudy expression, in fact, the original intention was to pick one person from among the Reestrade brothers, but someone suddenly mentioned Draco, because Draco and Harry are more intimate, and the three Reestrades may not be easy to confuse, so Draco will be a better choice.
Snape glanced vaguely at Mad-Eyed Moody standing there, how much this man hated the Malfoy family, if there was a little accident here, then Draco's safety could not be guaranteed.
Harry didn't know anything yet, he went to the arena and saw Dumbledore standing there smiling at him, Dumbledore nodded at Harry as if encouraging Harry. This old man should already know the news of Voldemort's resurrection, they don't know what Harry he talked about with Lucius, but it is certain that the Malfoy family wants to completely transform in the future, this old man will definitely help, he has the ability and the authority to speak.
"The voice is loud." When Bagman amplified his voice with a spell, his voice was like thunder, "Listen, everyone, our warriors are ready. As soon as I whistled, the second project began. They had a full hour to reclaim what had been snatched from their hands. I counted to three. One...... Two...... Three! ”
Harry frowned, is it really good not to tell them what the baby is now? Aren't you worried that the Warriors will give up halfway?
A sharp whistle sounded at this time, and Harry took off his robe to show his strong muscles, don't look at Harry is the one in the family who is not very good at fighting, and he is also a wizard, but he has not relaxed in his workout, so his body is very strong compared to other wizards of the same age.
Harry took a deep breath, even he couldn't hold on to jumping on such a cold day.
Applause and screams erupted from the stands as the whistle rang out, and Loki looked through his binoculars at Harry standing by the lake, where Merlin lay down and said to his two older brothers, "Does Harry not know about Draco yet?" ”
Loki rolled his eyes, "Of course, if only I knew that I could still have such a relaxed expression at this time." ”
But seriously, this time the Ministry of Magic is really bold, the lake on February 24 is also bitterly cold, if you throw those people who are valued by the warriors into the water for an hour, even if you don't die, you will probably lose half your life.
Harry plunged headlong into the water after the whistle blew, believing Arthur's words, and if he deceived himself, Harry assured him that Arthur might never want to say a word to Merlin for the rest of his life.
Harry felt a biting cold when he entered the water, the lake water at the end of February was really not acceptable to ordinary people, Harry vaguely felt that something was ringing in his ears, not the strange mermaid sound he had heard before, but like a pleasant song.
When the song died down, Harry felt like he could breathe freely underwater, as if he were one of the water.
Then Harry saw the other three warriors appear around him one after another, each in their own way.
But in the blink of an eye, they were separated by aquatic plants, and Harry concentrated on the bottom of the lake, which was so hot that he still wanted to go back to the land and feel the warmth.
The fairy in the lake looked at Harry who was moving forward and whispered, they found something, that is, Harry's body has the aura of ancient magic, which is not very strong, but it is rare, and I don't know if it is because of the relationship with Merlin for a long time.
And they thought Harry might have heard their blessing songs.
There were large creatures under the Black Lake, and in addition to the merfolk, there was also a creature called Grindillowe, and Harry frowned when he looked back and saw Grindillo who had grabbed his ankle,
There was no monitoring in the lake, so he could use wandless magic as he pleased.
Harry grabbed his own Grindillo with his fingers, and then saw Grindillo suddenly let go of Harry's ankle as if he had no strength, and Harry immediately broke away from its grasp, he didn't have time to delay here.
It was so dark that if it weren't for a glimmer of light to guide him, Harry would probably have lost himself at the bottom of the lake.
Harry heard the merfolk singing, they were singing, "There is only one hour to find and retrieve the objects we have taken......
Harry knew that he would only need to follow the mermaid's song to reach his destination, and he said thank you to the glimmer of light that had stopped, although he didn't know what it was, but Harry knew that if it weren't for it, he really wouldn't have found his destination so quickly.
The fairies of the lake had done their own tests, and they were sure that Harry? Potter, the brother of Merlin with the name above them, can see them, although it is not clear, but it means that he has ancient magic in him.
Harry saw the mermaids, who were not as pretty as the mermaid princesses in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, but a different kind of horror, with iron-gray skin and long, unkempt dark green hair. Their eyes are yellow, their mutilated teeth are yellow, and they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks.
Harry swam past them, and the merfolk smiled wickedly at him, Harry didn't like the smile, which made his previous unease even stronger. One or two merfolk came out of their holes to see better, spears in their hands, and slapped the lake with their thick/powerful silver tails.
Merfolk came from all directions, and they were very curious about Harry, and some were tentatively trying to get close to Harry.
This is the merfolk's village, and it is probably the first time humans have come here, so they can't hide their curiosity about Harry.
Harry swam in the direction of the song, and in the village square Harry saw schools of merfolk singing, and in the middle of the square was a statue, a giant mermaid carved out of a boulder. On the tail of the mermaid statue, four people are firmly tied.
Harry looked in shock at the four men who were tied there, who looked like they were asleep, their heads tilted to one side weakly, and all four of them had lost their blood, apparently because they had been immersed in the water for too long.
Harry swam over quickly, he reached out and touched Hermione's cheek to make sure it was still some temperature before letting out a sigh of relief, and then he immediately came to Draco's side, Harry's eyes were full of anger, dear baby? This is indeed the treasure he loves and wants to hold in the palm of his hand, but it is not the person they regard as a victim of the project.
Is Draco Harry? What Potter wants to protect, who wants to protect under his wings.
Harry resounded what he had said before, what he had said to Draco before the match, "If it's for you, I'd do anything." ”
Harry reached out and touched Draco's cheek, he was even colder than Hermione, and his face was a little purple, these people didn't use the Warmth Charm when they put them down, Harry suddenly understood why he would lose his beloved treasure in an hour, and that person couldn't last an hour under such cold water.
Harry looked at the rope of water and grass on Draco's ankle, he gritted his teeth and took out his wand from his back, the Transfiguration Charm can turn anything into another thing, and the only thing he can use is a wand.
Harry used the dagger in his hand to cut the rope of water and grass on Draco's ankle, and then hugged the man tightly in his arms, and he immediately applied a warmth charm to Draco's body, this man was going to have an accident sooner or later in such a freeze.
After holding Draco in his arms, Harry turned to Hermione's side.
He wouldn't let Hermione stay here, half an hour was the limit for the victims, and they didn't look like they were going to be able to hold out until the other warriors arrived.
But Harry wouldn't let him do that if he wanted to save the merfolk, the Warriors had to take their own treasure with them according to the rules of the game.
The merfolk tugged at Harry's arm to prevent him from doing anything, "You can only take your own hostages," one of the merfolk said to Harry, "leave the others ......"
Others? How could Hermione be someone else.
Harry was angry at this time, and he didn't do anything immediately when he saw the merfolk tearing him apart, but just said, ", she's my important friend, and there's no way they'll last until the other warriors come." ”
The merfolk were a cold-blooded race, and it seemed to them that Harry only needed to complete his mission.
The merfolk pulled Harry away again, and they stood between Harry and Hermione, as if refusing to let Harry come closer.
Harry put one hand on Draco's waist, and he narrowed his eyes and gave a sneer.
The merfolk and the people from the Ministry of Magic didn't even think about whether the warriors could arrive, and whether these people who were put into the water could hold out for an hour, waiting for the warriors to come and save them. The youngest of them was Fleur's sister, a nine-year-old girl.
"Get out of the way."
Harry glanced around, there was no way they could stop him.
The merfolk were still giggling, shaking their heads and holding spears in their hands to tell Harry not to move.
Harry looked at the sudden smile even more happily, it was obviously impossible for him to take all four of them alone, so before he officially had a conflict with these mermaids, Harry also needed help, he waved his hand and a stag appeared in the water, and the light emitted by the stag made the mermaids retreat for a moment.
The stag disappeared into the water in an instant, and it would bring the other warriors with it to deliver Harry's message.
Harry didn't care about the so-called rankings now, he reached out and touched Draco's cheek again, it was warmer than before, Harry kissed Draco's cheek, "I'll take you back right away." ”
Although it is not possible to use a flock of birds in the water, Harry can use the Transfiguration Charm by simply summoning the birds.
The merfolk were a little flustered for the first time when the dagger under Harry's control appeared around Harry, Harry's resoluteness was too much for them to ignore, and the wizard's magic seemed to be beyond their knowledge.
Just as Harry was about to make a move, a figure appeared in Harry's line of sight, with a human body underneath him, wearing swimming trunks, and a shark's head on it, which seemed to be Krum, who appeared after Harry's Patronus.
Krum has to admit that when he was most confused, it was the strange Patronus who could appear in the water that brought him here.
He saw Harry holding Draco in one hand, his body didn't change in any way, it didn't look like he had turned into a shark, it didn't look like Cedric was following behind him with a hood with bubbles on his head, Harry looked like he was normal.
He nodded when he saw Harry, and then came to Hermione's side, where Harry controlled the dagger next to him and landed at Krum's side, and Krum immediately grabbed the dagger and cut off the aquatic weeds on Hermione's ankles.
He took Hermione in his arms, and at that moment Cedric appeared in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, the little silver-haired girl was still tied up, her face was a little blue, and Harry was really angry when he looked at the merfolk who did not back down, if the Patronus did not come to bring Fleur, it proved that she might not have come to this neighborhood.
Harry solemnly handed Draco to Cedric, believing in his alliance more than Krum, and kissed Draco's cold lips in front of the two of them. When Draco appeared in the water, their relationship was already exposed, so Harry didn't want to hide it, he would go back with Fleur's little sister, but Draco couldn't wait with him any longer.
"I'll leave it to you."
Cedric nodded solemnly, if Harry trusted him so much, he didn't want to disappoint Harry. Like Krum, it was Harry's Patronus who took him out of the Labyrinth, so he owed Harry a favor before.
Once again, Harry unleashed his Patronus and let it clear the way to lead the two of them away, and now it didn't matter who Harry was first.
"Get out of the way, that warrior won't come here at all."
The merfolk were grunting something, and the shrill voice made Harry feel harsh, and it was clear that Harry's behavior was already a provocation for them, not only did he use a sharp weapon against them, but he even openly cheated.
Harry waved his hand, and the dagger behind his back rushed like a sword towards the merfolk who surrounded the little girl.
The merfolk finally got out of the way after they had tasted the pain, and the wounded merfolk grinned at Harry, but they didn't dare to step forward again, they sensitively felt the murderous aura on Harry.
Harry held the silver-haired girl tightly in his arms, her body was even colder than Draco's just now, her face was already iron-blue, Harry immediately covered her cheeks with both hands, and hit her with the warmth charm one after another.
"This is what you want, the life of a little girl?"
Harry thought he might not be a good person, but he wouldn't be cold-blooded to see a little girl die here.
Harry turned and left with the girl in his arms, maybe he would be punished for attacking the merfolk, but Harry didn't care anymore.
"We're not going to put her in danger."
Harry heard an aging voice behind him, and he didn't look back but said, "But when the time comes, she will be in danger too, the lack of oxygen to the brain can cause brain death, how can a nine-year-old girl last an hour." ”
He knew that someone could save her when the time came, but Gabrielle? No one can guarantee whether Delacour can hold on, the merfolk can't, the Ministry of Magic can't, and he can't. 166 Reading Network
