Chapter 189: Post-Game Scoring
"Mr. Augustus," the sun warmed, and Lilian's face became clearer.
Augustus chuckled, "You're awake, I'm bothering you this time, and you've been chosen to be held hostage at the bottom of the lake." ”
Lilian smiled and shook her head, not speaking, a sweet feeling inexplicably appeared in her heart.
Half an hour later, Krum flew out of the lake with Hermione, still in shark form, and he glanced at Augustus unexpectedly, as if he had been waiting on the shore for a long time.
For the next ten minutes, Fleur walked out of the lake with a depressed face, apparently not finding Gabrielle at all.
After another half hour of waiting, dozens of merfolk stepped ashore, and Harry finally dragged Ron and Fleur's sister back to the surface.
The referees all stood there watching, and twenty mermaids accompanied them like honor guards, singing ugly songs with shrill voices.
Madame Pomley took a heavy blanket and carried it to the lake, covering the warriors, Dumbledore and Ludo Bagman looked at them with a smile, and Percy was pale, looking several years younger than usual, and rushed to meet them. Meanwhile, Madame Maxim was struggling to hold Fleur Delacour. Fleur was completely hysterical.
"Gabrielle! Gabrielle! Is she still alive? Is she hurt? ”
Dumbledore and Bagman pulled Harry to his feet; Fleur broke free from Madame Maxim and hugged her sister.
"It's Green Lody...... Those Greenlody are coming at me...... Oh Gabrielle, I thought ...... I thought ......"
Harry heard Percy's exaggerated description of Augustus's walk in the lake, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and he knew that when he arrived at the Fish-Man Square, Lillian's stone pillar was already empty, obviously, Augustus arrived a long time before him, even so, Augustus did not care about the safety of the other three hostages as he did, and left directly after saving Lillian, so selfish and vicious, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with breaking with him.
"Harry, you fool," Ron said, "you don't take that song seriously, do you?" Dumbledore won't let any of us drown! ”
"The song says—"
"That's just to get you back in the allotted time!" Ron said, "I hope you don't lose time down here because of your hero!" ”
Harry felt frustrated and annoyed. These scumbags, not only did no one come to thank him for not giving up, but they also laughed and sarcastically one by one, knowing that he would go ashore directly after saving Ron, and the second place would not miss his hand.
Dumbledore crouched at the water's edge, conversing closely with the leader-looking particularly rough and ferocious female mermaid. Dumbledore made the same high-pitched, harsh sound that a merfolk made on the surface of the water, and apparently, he could speak the words of a mermaid as well. Finally, he straightened up and turned to the other referees and said, "Let's have a meeting and then score." ”
"Mr. Augustus." Krum brushed Hermione aside and walked over to Augustus, a smile on his face. "It's too much pressure to compete with you, and our actions are too small compared to what you do."
Augustus waved his hand slightly, with humility in his silver pupils, "Actually, everyone has a shining point, the reason why competition is competition is that all kinds of frost are free, if I am the only one, even if it is exciting, it will be too monotonous." ”
Krum smiled knowingly, "Needless to say, with you in front of us, I couldn't be more convinced." ”
At that moment, Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded in their ears, and the spectators in the stands fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made our decision. Mercous, the leader of the merfolk, told us exactly what was happening under the lake, and we decided to rate the warriors on a 50-point scale as follows......"
"Fleur Delacour, despite her excellent use of the Bubble Head Charm, was attacked by Greenrodi as she approached her target, and was unable to rescue the hostages. We gave her 25 points. ”
"Wickdore? Krum used Transfiguration, which was incomplete but still effective, and he was the second to return with a hostage. We give him 40 points. ”
"Harry? Potter used an unknown item and achieved amazing results. Bagman continued, "He was the last to return, well over the allotted hour. "Most of the referees," Bagman said, glancing at Karkaroff with great dissatisfaction, "felt that it was a good moral demeanor." However...... Mr. Porter's score is 45. ”
Potter's face was full of joy, he didn't expect that he would get such a high score in the end, 5 points higher than Krum, such an effect, it was really gratifying.
"Finally, about Mr. Augustus, walking alone on the stage in the lake, we witnessed the wonder of magic changing nature. Sometimes, I often ask myself what magic is and what it means to us. Today, he tells us with his actions that the meaning of magic represents the creation of miracles, and that magic exists because of protection! ”
"The score we give to Mr. Augustus is the highest score ever recorded in history, 50 points!"
The stands erupted, and all the supporters of Augustus, whether it was Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Durmstrang, spontaneously cheered and cheered, and waves rushed into the sky, and the sound of applause shook the sky. The charm of Augustus, at this moment, transcends the boundaries of the earth, time and space, and is unstoppable.
Fleur was also clapping her hands vigorously, a look of joy appeared on her face, and Gabrielle looked at Potter's gloomy face and gently tugged at Fleur's sleeve.
In terms of overall points, Augustus seems to have completely finished ahead of the second-place Krum by a long way, despite this, Krum still cheers and celebrates Augustus from the bottom of his heart, some people, even if they are opponents, are difficult to dislike with their graceful demeanor, and gentlemen's friendship, sometimes, is as simple as that.
Dumbledore's sharp gaze hidden behind the half-moon lenses fell on Harry, looking at his gloomy and jealous look, he sighed slightly helplessly, growing up, it seems to be getting more and more off track, the simple and innocent hot-blooded teenager seems to be drifting away, the environment is very important to a person's growth, for a teenager, the people he usually comes into contact with are very important to his influence, and for Hermione Ron's heart, Dumbledore couldn't be clearer, where does this subtle negative impact come from, Dumbledore's wise eyes were thoughtful.
"The third and final program will take place on the evening of June 24," Bagman continued, "and the Warriors will know what the program will be a month in advance." Thank you all for your support of the Warriors. ”
