Chapter Seventy-One: Hallie: I'll attack in the form of a mermaid, with a witch symbol in my lower abdomen!
The calendar flipped through the pages and got closer and closer to the second item.
Almost the entire Hogwarts class has now guessed what the second project is.
After all, the six warriors often practice diving around the Black Lake, and if anyone can really do it, they can't guess the general content of the warriors' game...... That's really hard.
Many students shuddered at this conclusion and thanked themselves for not becoming warriors.
It's the end of January, and it's arguably the coldest time in the entire Black Lake.
Even the Bulgarian students in Durmstrang, who were the most fond of winter swimming, did not dare to go to the lake in such weather.
The warriors, some of whom were witches, insisted on practicing diving...... It's simply horrible!
Hallie now spends almost every day with Fleur in the Black Lake, swimming for two hours a day, and then taking Fleur to the Forbidden Forest.
Hermione was happy to join the bandwagon, as the clever little witch was not willing to pass up any opportunity to improve herself.
At first, Hallie thought it was a happy thing.
Is there anything more pleasant than swimming with two beauties and then going for a walk in the Forbidden Forest after swimming?
But after just one week, Hallie didn't think so.
Merlin is on top, spare me!
This kind of continuous training lasted until the last week before the competition, after all, excessive fatigue training can easily lead to abnormal performance during the competition.
The night before the game, Hermione suddenly vanished.
However, there was no commotion in the dormitory.
Lavender and Parvati didn't even notice Hermione's disappearance.
After all, when the two went back to sleep in the dormitory, either Hermione went to bed early, or Hermione was still reading outside the dormitory.
The schedules of scumbags and top students are completely different, so how can they interfere with each other?
Hallie had noticed Hermione's disappearance, but she wasn't panicking.
After all, Hermione was carrying the necklace she had given her at Christmas, and the gem on the necklace contained a magic mirror that had cast a shrinking spell.
Through the magic mirror, Harley could easily lock to Hermione's position and feel Hermione's state of life.
If necessary, Harley can even jump through the magic mirror at any time.
And Hallie also had a vague guess after Hermione disappeared, Hermione was probably her most precious treasure in the Golden Egg song.
"I don't know who made this judgment, but the judgment is quite accurate." On the morning of the match, Harley couldn't help but diverge her thoughts,
"Probably Professor Dumbledore, after all, he has such a special old lover!"
"Sure enough, Professor Dumbledore and I should be master and apprentice, and even the choices in some aspects are so similar!"
Fleur wasn't so calm, though.
She was anxious when she found out that her sister Gabrielle had disappeared the day before.
Luckily, Lady Maxime comforted Flaccee and said that Gabrielle was not feeling well, so she went to the school hospital at Hogwarts.
Fleur wanted to visit Gabrielle, but was stopped by Lady Maxim on the grounds that it was getting late and Hogwarts Castle was locked.
Finally, this morning, Fleur got up from bed before dawn, and she didn't even have time to eat, so she went straight to the school hospital to visit her sister.
Contrary to Fleur's expectations, Gabrielle is not at the hospital hospital, and Ms. Pomfrey even says that she has never seen Gabrielle.
When Fleur tries to find Ms. Maxim, she finds that she has disappeared at some point.
This made Fleur almost have a mental breakdown.
If Harley hadn't told her the truth, Fleur would probably have written to the Ministry of Magic to report the crime.
But even after knowing the facts, Fleur was still so anxious that she couldn't even eat.
"Gabrielle will freeze."
Fleur sliced the sausage in front of her with a knife, cutting the innocent sausage into countless pieces, as if it was the organizer who took Gabrielle away,
"My poor Gabrielle, she had to sleep all night in the Forbidden Forest and didn't have her favorite Himalayan bluehorn sheep cashmere duvet ......"
"It was so cold last night. Oh my God, why didn't I think the Warrior's so-called treasure was a man? ”
"If I had thought of that, I would have given Gabridore two more clothes."
At this time, Fleur was frantic and thought about it, and the thick resentment that came out made few little wizards around him dare to sit down.
"Take it easy." Hallie had to speak to reassure Fleur,
"Trust me, the organizers won't let any surprises happen to these people who are involved in the competition."
"Even if you don't know the organizers of the tournament, haven't you learned about the British Ministry of Magic through the last Quidditch World Cup? Do they seem like people who like to find trouble for themselves? ”
"What you should do now is to revisit the plan we prepared in advance and bring Gabrielle back as soon as possible."
"Don't forget, although we had a plan to work together, the early start of the race was definitely in a different position, and we had to rely on ourselves for the first part of the race."
Listening to Harry's words, Fleur didn't say much, but ate breakfast absentmindedly while repeatedly recalling the preparations she had made.
The clock was nine o'clock, and the game was about to begin.
The warriors have come to the Black Lake, and this place has changed dramatically.
Last November, the large viewing arena for the fire dragon was moved to the edge of the Black Lake.
In the middle of all the seats, the referee's bench was placed there, and several tents were propped up next to it.
Ludo was happily sitting in the referee's seat, knocking on the pumpkin seeds he had brought.
When he saw Hallie and Fleur, he waved his hand excitedly, but his eyes only fell on Harley:
"Good morning, Hallie! How's the preparation going? ”
"Thank you for your concern," Hallie politely responded,
"I feel very well prepared, at least there shouldn't be any major problems in getting through the second event quickly."
Listening to Harry's source of confidence, Ludo seemed more and more happy: "Come on, then I hope you are doing well, Harry." ”
He paused, realizing that there was still Fleur standing next to him, so he added a little deliberately,
"So do you, Miss Delacour."
Fleur nodded coldly at Ludo and didn't say anything.
The two walked straight into the tent on the side, waiting for the official start of the game
…………
The time finally froze at half past nine, and at this time, the surroundings of the Black Lake were already full of students.
The eight seats on the referee's bench were also seated, and no one was absent.
However, the position that should have belonged to Karkarov was replaced by Durmstrang's vice-principal, Pridrag Biellak, a Serbian-born wizard.
The six warriors were all standing on the shore at this time, each with a long distance apart.
Ludo once again took on the role of commentator for the Final Six Tournament:
"Hello everyone! Welcome to the second event of the 1st Final Six Tournament! ”
"Today it's still me, Ludo Bagman, who is doing the narration for everyone. I am honored for that. ”
"We have a couple of little things to announce before the game starts."
"The first is the change of referees. In view of the departure of Rector Igor Karkarov for some special reason, we had to permanently disqualify him from refereeing. ”
There was an extremely warm round of applause, accompanied by loud laughter.
Apparently, everyone knows what Principal Karkarov ran away for.
“…… At the same time, I would like to announce that Durmstrang has re-fielded a referee, Durhamstrang's interim principal, Pridrager Biellak! ”
The applause on the field was much smaller, and only the Durmstrang classmates were clapping as hard as they could.
After all, the previous Karkaroff did a lot of bad things, so the students didn't feel much of a concern for this Kakarov's successor.
The lack of applause and a sparse applause is already a reflection of the high quality of the students at Hogwarts.
However, Principal Pridrager did not get angry about this, but smiled and waved at the students in response.
"Finally, I would like to give a brief introduction to the content of the competition for the uninformed audience."
After the applause and ridicule had subsided, Ludo introduced the last topic,
"Of course, I can't go into too much detail here, lest some warriors who haven't fully cracked the secret in the golden egg, but have obtained important information through my words, causing it to interfere with the fairness of the game."
"To cut a long story short, the second contest is about the Warriors' treasures being snatched by an unknown being, and they want to reclaim their treasures."
As he spoke, Ludo waved his wand, and six light curtains in the sky that were identical to the first game appeared at the same time.
Six different wizards appear on screen, all of whom appear to be unconscious, tied to a tree.
There was a shout of surprise from the audience, and many recognized the identities of the six people in the picture.
Harley narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Hermione's position.
It was a magically affected tree, with a dark trunk with special traces of magic, apparently on the backlit side.
Harley combined the map of the centaur station that she had explored during her night tour of the Forbidden Forest, and roughly guessed that Hermione was in the woods.
However, Harley is still ready to give the organizers, mainly to Headmaster Dumbledore, a face, and go to the Forbidden Forest to lie down somewhat.
"For the next twenty-four hours, the warriors will need to enter the Black Lake first, then break into the Forbidden Forest, and follow the steps in the instructions we gave earlier to retrieve their treasures from these unknown creatures."
"The Warriors are going to face unknown tests, so be careful."
"Now I announce that the second event of the Final Six Tournament has officially begun!"
As two fireworks exploded in mid-air, the images in the light curtain in the sky were also fixed on the bodies of the six warriors.
The competition has officially begun.
However, no warrior was the first to enter the water, and everyone was making the final preparations before entering the water.
After all, on such a cold day, no one would really dare to enter the Black Lake directly with a bubble spell on their heads, right?
All the warriors performed the first move at the same time, and all of them did the same - they all took off their robes.
There was a sudden exclamation in the audience, and many witches covered their eyes, but they deliberately exposed their fingers wide, pretending to look at the warriors quietly.
As for those wizards, they didn't even pretend to be, they just stared at them directly.
In particular, there were some young wizards who were overly excited, and they simply stood up from the audience, obviously wanting to take a closer look.
Underneath the robes, the warriors wore clothes that were extremely suitable for entering the water.
Apparently no one is stupid. After going through the first competition and reviewing Harley's operations, everyone learned a little bit.
Krum wore only a pair of swimming trunks under his thick robe, revealing the tendons of the Bulgarians who had been swimming in the frozen lakes for a long time.
For some reason, though, most of the stares at Krum were Hufflepuff wizards.
In particular, the little badgers showed a strange and loyal and honest smile.
After all, Bulgaria has a very famous group of witch singers who sit in a half-bathtub, and this group is very compatible with English wizards.
So this happens...... Not surprising at all.
After tossing his clothes on the shore, Krum waved his wand, turning the upper half of his body into a shark and the lower half into a humanoid form.
Obviously, this was a less successful human transfiguration.
At the same time as he turned into half a shark, Krum's arms turned into fins.
His wand fell on the shore and could not be carried, and the whole person simply plunged into the water.
Almost at the same time as him, he was submerged in the water by Harumi Domimon, the Tsuchigomon of the Magic House.
Obviously, the poor results in the previous round, coupled with the serious injuries, caused him to lose the dignity of the magic institute.
In order not to continue to be harshly punished by the principal Michiman Kamo, Harumi Domito did his best at the beginning of this round of competition.
He wears a sharkskin swimsuit that wraps around his entire body, as well as a bubble head charm and multiple heat preservation charms on his head.
In the end, Harumi Tsuchigomon also took out a strange-looking and ugly fish-form god, and he lay on the back of Shikigami and got into the water.
Catherine's method is similar to that of Harumi Domimon, except that she lacks the assistance of a fish-form god.
However, her swimsuit, which covered her whole body, had traces of alchemy, and even saved herself from applying a thermal insulation charm.
Miguel, on the other hand, stuffed his mouth with a variety of herbs endemic to the Brazilian rainforest.
As the herbs entered his stomach, two narrow slits grew under his ears — the gills of fish.
At the same time, Miguel's hands and feet became elongated, webbed between his toes, and scales appeared on his body.
This is the effect of a mixture of various plants such as Houttuynia cordata and gill sac grass, and it is a combination of herbs that Miguel has carefully designed to make it easiest for him to swim in the water.
Fleur was wearing the same swimsuit she had worn at the beach, the only difference was that a light film appeared on her skin.
After a long period of training with Harley's assistance, Fleur has been able to flexibly change the shape of the bubble head charm and cover her whole body.
At the same time, she drank a bottle of homemade potion to maintain her body temperature and make sure that she would not lose her strength quickly due to the cold.
And Hallie's preparation is different from everyone else.
When Harry's robe faded, her handsome figure was revealed.
Harley was wearing long swim trunks and a skinny leather jacket, which was mostly covered with water, but it just happened to expose her fair belly.
And in Hallie's lower abdomen, a symbol of a bright red witch path is inexplicably drawn.
Strangely, however, there was no such strange symbol on the light screen in the sky reflecting Harley's figure, and no one in the audience seemed to notice it.
Harley didn't have any special spells or potions, she just waved her wand and crushed a charm hidden in her palm.
A flash of light flickered instantly, and a large number of eyes in the audience were cast here.
After the light dissipated, Harley seemed to have changed at all, but her temperament seemed to be slightly different from before.
A few Slytherins booed, but many more were still looking forward to Harley showing off her new magic and giving everyone a completely different experience.
In the midst of all the attention, Harley stepped into the water.
The moment her toes touched the cold water, the red lines on Hallie's lower abdomen suddenly bloomed with a strange green light, and quickly covered her whole body.
As the water reached her waist, the green glow intensified, and Hallie's legs turned into giant fishtails in an instant.
It was not the same as a normal fishtail, it was covered with scales, but the scales shimmered golden.
Halle Mermaid Potter is here!
This morning, I'm going to attack in mermaid form!
