In the merfolk village, one by one the merfolk lose their footing and fall into the mud.

Krum, who had been impaled through the ankle, turned back into a human form, his feet dripping with blood.

Harry was also stunned by everything.

Leaving the water, the spell cast on the three hostages was lifted, and they woke up one after another.

"Oh my God, what's going on?" Ron watched it all in disbelief.

Gabrielle and Hermione spat out mouthfuls of water, equally confused.

A coercion fell, and the mermaids who wanted to do it screamed and crawled towards the water walls on both sides.

"Gabrielle—"

Fleur screamed, and Gabrielle looked up at the lake that parted like a cliff.

Sister Fleur was calling to herself on the shore, and John was holding a silver sword, his eyes shining with a chill.

"It's the warriors."

"They're hurt!"

"Dumbledore, what's going on!"

Everyone saw what was happening in the middle of the lake, especially Karkaroff, who was shocked and angry at the blood on Krum's body.

He completely forgot who was the constant delay that caused him to almost miss the rescue opportunity.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief as the effects of the gill sac grass faded, his gills disappeared, and his hands and feet returned to normal.

The merfolk were fleeing, and John saw the merfolk doing something to the hostages as he parted the lake.

The pattern on his shoe lit up, and his wings sprang out and flew towards the merfolk.

As a merfolk of extraordinary status wearing many bone shards was about to leave, a silver sword was driven into its palm.

John descended from the sky, stepped on the mermaid's lumbar spine, pulled Silver Wick out and swung it to the side.

Hermione and Gabrielle, who were tied up, were disconnected.

The blade of the sword landed on the neck of the merfolk leader, and John said coldly, "It's best to give me a reasonable explanation." ”

The mermaid leader looked terrified.

"John!"

It was Dumbledore, who stopped John's move.

John tilted his head and glanced at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore shook his head with a serious look on his face and said, "It's under control." ”

The meaning is very clear, probably the mermaid leader is also controlled, so let it go.

John smiled and said coldly, "Professor Dumbledore, it almost killed four students, especially two of my friends. ”

"John," Dumbledore said earnestly, taking a deep breath, "let it go, I'll look into it." ”

The cold glow on the Sword of Silver Wick flickered, and the lake on either side formed a wall.

John was silent for a moment, then finally removed the blade.

Madame Maxime also came down, and she came to Gabrielle with Fleur and caressed Gabrielle's head lovingly: "Poor child, thank you, John, for saving her. ”

Miss Maxim thanked him, and John shook his head and met Fleur's red eyes as he said to Dumbledore, "Professor Dumbledore, I hope you can take care of it." ”

With that, John turned and left.

The merfolk leader was frightened, and Dumbledore asked about it.

Indeed, as Dumbledore thought, it had been caught under the Confusion Charm.

The deep confusion spell even unconsciously controlled it.

It's a pity that it doesn't know who it is.

Yesterday on the shore of the Black Lake, someone used the language of mermaids to lure merfolk over.

This memory is very disturbed.

The Obfuscation Charm confuses its memory.

John was unhappy with the outcome, but couldn't change it.

Harry wasn't hurt much, but Krum was badly wounded, with multiple spear stabbing wounds on his body in addition to his ankles.

Hermione was also affected, there was a hole in her robe, which pierced all the clothes, but fortunately the robe was too large to pierce her.

The last two warriors did not come out in this game, but because of the noble moral behavior of the two warriors guarding the warriors underwater, they still gave them high marks.

In the final score, Cedric was first, Harry was second, and Krum and Fleur were tied for third.

Because of Krum's poor performance in the first project, even if he added a high score this time, he was only on par with Fleur.

The third project started on June 24.

However, the follow-up of this matter did not end.

The mermaid incident shows that someone is making trouble.

Dumbledore asked Moody to find out.

To be able to control the merfolk village, that person must be very powerful.

Moody, as an old Auror, was more experienced in this matter.

So when he gave Moody's the task, there was basically no objection.

But John really didn't expect that Moody's first suspicion turned out to be himself.

By the time he found out about it, the whole of Slytherin had already been searched.

...

Moody swaggered to the Slytherin break room in the name of looking for a suspicious person.

"Come out, give it all to me."

Moody stood in the break room with a loud voice and shouted everyone out, and the Slytherins all looked bad.

But Moody seemed to be out of sight, and muttered, "Now I'm going to search for you, don't think about what might be hiding, I know you, half of the Death Eaters I captured were Slytherins." ”

Malfoy couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "This is a very serious accusation. ”

"Accusations?" Moody stammered over to Malfoy, the MONOCULUS spinning and growling, "Don't think I don't know, you're just like your father Lucius, filthy, vile fellow!" ”

"You are not allowed to insult my father!"

Malfoy's eyes were red, he had always followed his father's example, and he couldn't stand Moody's insults.

Moody grabbed him by the collar and pushed him away: "I know, I know you, now everyone is standing, I'm going to search." ”

He almost said that the Slytherins were future Death Eaters, which made the Slytherin students look bad.

Malfoy clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, his eyes filled with anger, and he roared, "You don't have this power!" ”

Moody's face sank, and he lowered his voice and whispered in Malfoy's ear, "Don't think I don't know your father was a Death Eater, Dumbledore knew too, so he never trusted Slytherin, you know?" ”

Malfoy's breath froze, and Moody had already pushed open a bedroom to search.

Moody had Dumbledore's command, and they couldn't stop it.

When one bedroom after another was raided, they felt humiliated like never before.

When he tried to go to the last room, Malfoy couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Get out, that's John's room!" ”

"Yes, yes, I know him, so his suspicion is the biggest thing, isn't it?"

Moody didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but in the next second, a red light grazed his side.

Now, he finally had a reaction.

Turning his head to see Malfoy with his wand in his hand, Moody gritted his back molars and said, "Do you know what you're doing, kid?" ”

"If you don't get out of there." Malfoy's move made the others react, and they looked at Moody in silence, standing behind Malfoy.

Moody sneered, "I'll tell Dumbledore one by one." ”

He didn't go in, turned and slumped out of the lounge.

And all this silenced the Slytherins.

They all know the seriousness of this matter.

Suddenly, someone said, "Dumbledore never trusted us. ”

The student's face was humiliated, and his words resonated with everyone.

"We should have known from the beginning." Malfoy gritted his teeth and said, "He's never been partial to Gryffindor!" ”

"As soon as something happens, it will be suspected of us."

"I'm going to tell my dad."

Some Slytherins wanted to keep their point of view, but they were just as angry when they learned that only Slytherin had been searched out of the four houses.

John knew all of this when he came out of the Stellar Society's vault.

Even John couldn't help but be angry.

"Dumbledore wasn't a fool, I think he knew what to do."

The crowd was excited at the moment, and there was no smile on John's face.

"Moody's is targeting us, why?" He couldn't understand how an old Auror could be so confused.

Malfoy said with a humiliated face, "What's more, he looks down on us, don't forget, he's been defending the Gryffindor group from beginning to end." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's Potter or Weasley."

John's face sank, and he calmly said, "I'll tell Professor Snape." ”

He wanted to see how Snape, a diehard Dumbledore loyal, reacted.

John was stopped when he went to Snape's office.

It's Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall looked complicated and said, "Wick, I need you to come with me to the Headmaster's office. ”

"Something, I hope you can explain."

John's heart sank, and he nodded in agreement.

He leaves with Professor McGonagall, and the scene is seen by the other students and there is a lot of discussion.

...
