Outside Hogwarts Castle, the stands by the Black Lake were full of people, and it seemed that they were all standing up, and Daphne spat a large mouthful of lake water in Ning An's arms, and then opened her eyes in a daze......

"Ah...... You did it, good, Ning'an, I never worried......"

The effect of the Transfiguration Technique had basically passed, and Ning An's skin had turned back to a krum-like white, perhaps because the lake water was too cold, freezing his face to the point of whiteness, and his teeth began to tremble.

"If you're really not worried...... I'll just paddle with a little bit of strength and drag you, it's very heavy, okay......"

Ning An didn't dare to let go of the waist that was holding Daphne, for fear that she would sink, but it was indeed not an easy job to swim to the shore with a big living person, especially since this person kept writhing and struggling, as if this position made her feel uncomfortable.

"Where am I sinking? Don't talk nonsense—"

Daphne straightened her face and showed a serious expression, as if what Ning An had just said was a very serious problem.

"I ...... It's not that you're heavy, it's too cold, okay, I'm already running out of strength. ”

Regardless of whether Ning An really had no strength or not, fortunately, they were not far from the shore, he waded in the water and swam hard, Daphne was not weak in water, and when he heard Ning An say that he had no strength, he did not continue to worry about the problem of weight, but left his arms and swam to the shore by himself.

There was another exclamation from the audience on the shore, and Ning An heard the faint sound of splashing water behind him, and knew that it was either Harry or "Cedric" coming up, but he was destined to be the second to arrive.

Karkaroff stood on the shore and watched him anxiously, as if he wished to come down and swim for him himself, Durmstrang's student Poliaco had already stretched out his hand, and when Ning An approached, he hurriedly pulled the two up with Karkaroff.

"Well done, Krum—" Poliacol exclaimed excitedly in his ear as he took Ning An's hand.

The second landing on the shore was already a good result, Ning An turned his head to look at the small group of people next to him, Fleur was wearing a thick blanket, Madame Maxim's broad shoulders blocked half of her face, and Gabrielle could be seen faintly? Delacour was also wrapped in a blanket and lying in his sister's arms.

Madam Pomfrey handed them a steaming hot drink, presumably hot cocoa or something.

When Ning An looked up, Furong happened to look at this side, the two looked at each other, Ning An only felt that her lips were hot, and the memory of the bottom of the lake came to her heart, and when she thought about it for a while, her heart would still pound.

I couldn't help but secretly compare Fleur's lips to Hermione's, whose one was softer, as if Fleur's was softer......

Ning An, who was thinking wildly, hurriedly turned his head away and stopped this look, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fleur standing up and saying something beside Madame Maxim.

"What are you looking at?"

Daphne was also draped in a thick blanket, and Madam Pomfrey was already trotting over with a hot drink, her face full of worry, and her mouth seemed to be muttering:

"The Final Three, the Final Three, oh my God, it's a terrible ......"

"Huh? Didn't look at anything. Ning An looked away from Fleur's direction, and turned to look at the stands in the distance, trying to find Hermione's figure, of course, Hermione didn't know who she was, and she probably didn't have the slightest interest in Krum now.

Daphne looked at Fleur suspiciously, she remembered that she seemed to have seen Fleur glancing this way just now, and seeing Ning An's panicked appearance, she sighed thoughtfully and in a low voice:

"It's a pity that Fleur came back first, the time when the two of you appeared is not much different, what's the matter, did you meet her below?"

"Well, it's under the water, when everyone is there, see who's faster...... Oh, thank you, Madam Pomfrey—"

Ning An hesitated to think about how to answer, and just as Madam Pomfrey arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the hot cocoa and put it in the palm of his hand, skipping the topic by the way, leaving Daphne looking at him suspiciously from behind.

"Drink it, kid and you'll feel better."

When Ning An wrapped in a blanket and took a sip of sweet hot cocoa, and gradually felt that his body had regained its heat, Harry and "Cedric" also rushed to the shore one after the other, Qiu Zhang had already woken up, but she seemed unwilling to let "Cedric" come to the rescue, and she stayed on the other side alone wrapped in a blanket, surrounded by a few Ravenclaw friends, the most precious characters in this group, I am afraid that she chose the wrong object.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have made the final decision-"

Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded, instantly suppressing the noisy shouts in the stands and startling Ning An.

Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Lady Maxime stood together, and a fish-man with long unkempt green hair, pale yellow eyes and teeth, stood beside Dumbledore, looking like the leader of the Black Lake fishmen.

"The leader of Merkus has told us what happened at the bottom of the lake, and we have decided to divide the warriors as follows on a fifty-point basis—"

Ludo? Bagman began to announce the scores, and the scene fell silent, and everyone listened with bated breath, listening only to his first name

"Fleur? Miss Delacour—"

Ning An looked over, Gabrielle in Fleur's arms had returned to normal, her face turned red, and the little girl who also had the blood of Meiwa looked extremely cute, and she was leaning on her sister's arms at the moment, looking at Bagman with big eyes without blinking.

Fleur seemed to sense Ning An's gaze, and also looked over, Ning An immediately looked away, for some reason he was a little afraid to look at Fleur.

Alas, it would be nice to have an amnesia spell to forget everything in the lake.

"Miss Delacour has demonstrated a great use of the Bubble Head Charm, completed the project perfectly, and was the first to return to shore, giving her a 50 according to our rating."

After he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the whole shore, 50 points is a perfect score, if 50 points are scored, then Fleur will be the first place in this project anyway.

However, Bagman changed his tone and continued:

"But—Miss Delacour has confessed to herself that her underwater bubble spell has lost its effect, and that it was with the help of Mr. Krum that she was able to complete the project, so after a final discussion, her score was 25!"

The spectators went through the transition from a perfect score to a 25 points, and the whole audience suddenly became noisy, saying what seemed to be everything, but it was no longer audible, because Bagman began to read the next person's score

"Cedric? Diggory ......"

What is it like for Ning An to feel a few hot eyes staring at him at the same time, Bagman's words are unclear, he was helped by Krum underwater to complete the project, what help? Why does Krum, who is also a warrior, help Fleur?

All of this seemed to be in reverie, and the strongest gaze came from Daphne, who was sitting on the side, still draped in a blanket, staring at Ning An quietly, making Ning An feel like a thorn in her back.

"She wanted to save her sister, so I helped, but it didn't ...... much."

Daphne shrugged in understanding, then returned to her usual state, turned her head to look at Fleur, who was looking this way, turned to muttered with interest:

"I understand, it doesn't matter how many you have anyway, and save me first, or help her save her sister first, you have your own considerations, right? Rest assured, I understand. ”

"That's because I know Dumbledore won't let the hostages have problems." Ning An smiled bitterly, this was clearly an expression that would only come if he didn't understand.

"Then you can save me first, and then help her!"

"How do you know I didn't save you first-"

"If I was saved first, how could I be the first to come back?" Daphne rolled her eyes, waved her hand to stop the conversation, and deliberately muttered to herself, holding her wet blonde hair:

"It's a pity, my grandma is just an ordinary wizard, the Greengrass family ha-no Meiwa blood, look at her silver hair, like clouds, it's really not common, right?"

……

How many points he scored next, Ning An forgot, he didn't pay attention to it anyway, compared to this, Fleur and Daphne's troubles made him more upset, Daphne's tone that seemed to be jealous was very strange, and Ning An had to feel sad that she felt that she was an important partner but not as important as a stranger.

But I believe that I will figure it out after a while, and the most fortunate thing should be that Hermione doesn't know about it, Ning An has a kind of experience of being in a desperate situation, as for the rest of the pot, I will hand it over to Krum to carry it, anyway, the Triwizard Tournament is about to end.

The next project is on the evening of June 24, with only three or four months left.

However, just as Madam Pomfrey escorted the warriors and hostages back to the castle to change into dry clothes, and Ning An thought that today was over, Fleur quietly caught up from behind, and whispered to Ning An in his ear under Daphne's surprised gaze:

"Can you come over for a moment, I have something to say-"

Ning An's heart was like an overturned spice bottle, with mixed tastes, and said secretly: Furong, you are really pitting me, I am so bitter, I can't tell if I really jumped into the Yellow River now, looking at Daphne's tight/yao silver teeth, as if she had made up her mind not to talk to him in the next life, as well as the ambiguous eyes of other people around her.

Ning An understands that at this moment, even if it is nothing, something has to be passed out.

What's more, really, they did kiss on the lips - even if it was just two lips, physical touch.

"Say whatever you want......" The two men fell to the back, and Gabrielle, who had walked in front, leaned into Madame Maxim's arms, and looked back from time to time at her sister and the strange boy beside her.

Why does that boy look so unhappy, my sister is obviously very popular.

The little girl didn't understand Ning An's mood, and now the only one who supported him was Rita? Skeeter has been controlled by himself, at least he doesn't have to worry about any fabricated and unsightly scandals.

"Does that bother you?"

Furong was also a little puzzled, she saw that Ning An's face was very nervous, very unnatural, and seemed to have some rejection of herself, this has never been a thing, she has not seen a man who is not obsessed with herself.

This made her even doubt her own charm, her slender snow-white fingers gently curled the ends of her silver hair, a little strange and lost, could it be that she had just come out of the water to look ugly?

She wished Madam Pomfrey had given her a mirror to see what she was looking like.

Then Fleur thought again: Yes, he became a Seeker for the Quidditch national team at such a young age, and there must be no shortage of popularity, I'm afraid all kinds of girls have seen it, and it's not impossible not to be interested in Meiwa......

"A little bit ......"

Ning An thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Furong, and said slowly: "What happened under the water, let's forget it-"

Fleur couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard "Krum" say a little bit, he really felt that talking to him had become a kind of trouble?

This made Fleur's self-confidence, which had been almost invincible in front of boys for a long time, almost collapse, and she didn't need to care about Wickdor at all? Krum, what does his opponent think, he can even just throw his face and walk away, this man is too uninteresting.

But at this moment, Fleur was only full of loss, and even her steps towards Hogwarts Castle became heavy, as if she had returned to the cold and dark bottom of the black lake, and her body was invaded by the biting water, and she almost lost her strength.

"Fleur, Fleur ......?"

The cry woke her up and lightly squeezed her hair, Fleur? Dracul raised his chin slightly, still maintaining a proud appearance, and said:

"Well, you go on, Krum—" She hadn't actually heard what he was saying.

"Oh, then I'll just say it, so like I said, I already have a girlfriend, so I definitely can't let my girlfriend know, and we forgot about it, wouldn't it be nice - it was just to help, wasn't it? You're worried about your sister, I'm just doing a small favor - don't let that bother, right? ”

I see—

Fleur straightened her chest slightly, no wonder he felt troubled, it turned out that he had a girlfriend.

Thinking of this, she looked past the crowd in front of her, and looked at the figure who was still walking along the lawn, but looked back from time to time, she remembered that it was called "Daphne"?

Was it his dance partner at the Christmas Ball, and he had asked Durmstrang about his students, who seemed to have transferred from Hogwarts before, from the Greengrass family, and seemed to have been expelled for breaking serious school rules?

The corners of Fleur's mouth went up and she chuckled, bad girl, huh? What is his taste? Like bad girls? You can be very bad sometimes.

The laughter made Ning An stunned, and looked at Furong with some puzzlement, she smiled and waved her hand, and said apologetically: "Sorry, you go on, I just remembered something......"

It's okay not to be troubled by your appearance or personality because you hate your appearance.

Fleur suddenly felt that the lawn of Hogwarts was so cute, the green grass brushed to one side in the breeze, and she wanted to untie the blanket on /shen, even the cold wind became less biting.

Proudly puffing up her chest, Fleur looked at Daphne, her steps becoming more and more brisk, what if she had a girlfriend, it was strange that a boy as good as Krum didn't have a girlfriend.

The blonde chick was pretty cute, and her face was good, but compared to herself, she made a gesture in her mind with a smile on her face

It's just a little girl.
