Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 72 The Baby in the Black Lake
In the dormitory, Hilbert looked carefully at the water-repelling beads facing the fire.

Small as a finger, transparent as water.Round and bright, avoid water.This is the Water Repelling Bead, a rare treasure from the ancient kingdom, Hilbert put it in his mouth.Then I came to the bathtub. Sure enough, the water in the bathtub separated to the two sides like a mouse meeting a cat. When I turned on the faucet, I saw that there seemed to be some transparent umbrella blocking Hilbert's head, and the water could not touch his body at all.Taking out the water-repellent beads, Hilbert laughed triumphantly.

Taoist Lingxu taught Hilbert how to skillfully use the water-avoiding beads. Now you can often see Hilbert wearing clothes beside the black lake. After entering the water, Hilbert quickly put the water-avoiding beads Put the beads in his mouth, and then silently recited the formula, and saw a transparent ball instantly enveloping Hilbert, and Hilbert in the ball was now floating in the water, coming and going freely, and even came to The mermaid's forbidden area was blocked by the transparent ball without any injuries.

The night before the second project, Hilbert was still in Taoist Lingxu's office receiving the I Ching washing marrow from Taoist Lingxu. , Hilbert spit out several mouthfuls of thick black phlegm, and instantly felt refreshed and full of magic power in his body.

Friday, February 1995, 2.At 24:09 in the morning, Hilbert came to the Black Lake that was already full of people. Fleur and Viktor had already taken off their clothes, revealing their seductive beautiful curves and majestic muscles. Hilbert swallowed Drooling, he took off his clothes. Fortunately, the muscles he trained at home before being washed by Taoist Lingxu a few days ago are back!Put on your swimming trunks and tights.I saw Harry running from a distance.It seems to be getting up late. "I... I'm coming..." Harry said out of breath, slipped in the mud and stopped, accidentally splashing Fleur's robes.

Percy, who had replaced Crouch, said in a domineering voice, "The competition is about to start! Where have you been?"

Bagman squeezed Harry's shoulder hard and returned to the referee's table.He pointed his wand to his throat, as he did at the World Cup, and said, "Boom!" And his voice, like thunder, swept across the dark lake to the stands.

"Listen, everyone, our warriors are in place. As soon as I whistle, the second project begins. They have a full hour to take back what was stolen from them. I count to three. One...two ……three!"

Shrill whistles echoed in the cold, still air.Cheers and applause erupted from the stands.Hilbert hurriedly put the water-repellent beads into his mouth and jumped into the water. Harry took off his shoes and socks twice, took out the handful of gill grass from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and then Wading into the lake.

Hilbert entered the water and hurriedly recited the mantra. In an instant, the protective wall surrounded Hilbert. Hilbert ran up and quickly observed the terrain. Now, a brand new scene of the bottom of the Black Lake suddenly emerged from the darkness in front of him. : Jungles of undulating, tangled black waterweed, broad flat sands strewn with shiny pebbles.He swam deeper and deeper, toward the middle of the lake.His eyes were wide open, looking through the gray, treacherous water, to the shadows in the distance, where the water was dark and misty.But he can't care about the scenery now, the mud in the water is churning everywhere, and after swimming for at least 10 minutes, he heard that voice again:

only one hour,

To find and recapture what we took...

Don't delay any longer, half the time has passed,
Lest what you're looking for rot here...

He saw it, it was Daphne, and Ron, Hermione and Gabriel Fleur's sister, but they seemed to have passed out now, their arms were outstretched, their feet were surrounded by a large group of creatures, elite guards among the Scottish lake monsters, They were ordered by Dumbledore to guard the four.The skin of the mermaid is iron gray, and the dark green hair is long and unkempt.Their eyes were yellow, their broken teeth were also yellow, and around their necks were pebbles strung together with thick ropes. The place seemed to be the square of a small mermaid village, with some houses around it, and a large group of mermaids floating in front of them.Some mermaids in the middle were singing in unison, calling for the warriors to come over.Behind them stood a crude statue: a mermaid carved out of boulders.On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, four people were firmly bound.At this moment, they saw a huge monster swimming towards them, with a human body on the bottom, wearing swimming trunks, and a shark's head on top...it was Krum.Apparently he's trying to shapeshift himself—without success.The half-man, half-shark Krum swam straight for Hermione, biting and tugging at the rope on her body, and within seconds, he was successful.He grabbed Hermione's waist, and without looking back, he quickly led her up to the surface.Hilbert walked leisurely to the side and took out his wand, "Shenfeng Wuying!" The seaweed that bound Daphne's feet broke immediately, and Hilbert quickly pulled Daphne into the protective wall, and then returned without rushing back. After observing in the nearby aquatic plants for a while, I suddenly found that there were less than 10 minutes left, and Ron and Gabriel were still not rescued. What on earth were Harry and Fleur doing?At this time, I suddenly saw a creature that looked like Harry swimming from a distance, alas!At the critical moment, the savior came just in time.Hilbert urged the protective wall to come to Gabriel, cut her rope of water plants, and pulled her into the protective wall. The surrounding mermaid guards did not take a step forward, because they had already experienced the power of the protective wall.Then Hilbert pulled out his wand: "Quickly go up!" The protective wall rushed up quickly, as if there was a rocket injector underneath.Suddenly, he felt his head pop out of the water; he felt a dull ache as the wonderful, fresh, cool air brushed against his damp face; Panting, he pulled the beautiful girls, one big and one small, up to the viewing platform. There was a lot of people shouting and yelling in the stands, and they all seemed to stand up.Hilbert guessed that they probably thought that both Daphne and Gabriel were dead, but they were wrong... Daphne and Gabriel both opened their eyes.Gabriel looked terrified and confused, but Daphne just spat out a mouthful of lake water, blinked a few times in the bright light, then turned to Hilbert and said, "It's all soaked, isn't it?" Then she saw Fleur's sister , "What did you bring her up for?"

"Fleur didn't show up, I can't leave her behind." Hilbert replied panting.Hilbert spat out the water-repellent beads, and passionately kissed the awakened Daphne.Fu Rong rushed over excitedly and kissed Hilbert while hugging her younger sister.

Harry Potter then pulled Ron up to swim up with a look of surprise on his face.Dumbledore was squatting by the water, talking closely with the particularly rough and fierce female mermaid who looked like the leader.Dumbledore made the high-pitched noise that a merman makes on the water, and apparently he could speak merfolk too.Finally, he stood up straight and turned to the other referees, saying, "Let's have a meeting first before scoring."

Several referees gathered together.Madam Pomfrey freed Ron from Percy's clutching hands, led him to Harry and the others, gave him a blanket and some pick-me-ups, and went to fetch Fleur and her sister.Fleur had bruises all over her face and arms, and her robe was torn, but she didn't seem to mind, and she didn't let Madam Pomfrey clean it up for her. "Clean it up first, Miss Delacour." Hilbert said upon seeing this.

Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded in their ears, startling them and quieting the audience in the stands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Mercus, the leader of the mermaids, told us everything that happened under the lake. We have decided to rate the warriors as follows... "

"Fleur Delacour, despite her excellent use of the Bubble Curse, was attacked by Green Lody as she approached the target and was unsuccessful in rescuing the hostages. We give her 25 points."

There was applause from the stands.

"I should have scored zero." Furong shook her graceful head and said hoarsely.

"Viktor Krum performed Transfiguration, incomplete but still effective, and he was the second to return with the hostage. We give him 40 points."

Karkaroff slapped his hands very vigorously, looking triumphant.

"Harry Potter used gill grass to amazing effect," continued Bagman. "He was the last to return, well past the one hour allotted time. But he was trying to save two people but was killed." Mr. Hilbert Shafik was the first to achieve it, out of good morals. However...Mr. Porter's score is 45 points."

"Mr. Hilbert Shafik used the water-repelling beads from the ancient country, rescued Gabriel Delacour, and was the first to arrive, and joined the Hogwarts Beauxbatons through the Ministry of Magic. Discussion decided to give Mr. Shafiq the highest score of 50 points!"

The students of Slytherin shouted excitedly, and the students of other colleges also cheered and expressed their congratulations. Hilbert saw Taoist Lingxu smiling at him in the distance, and he also responded with a smile.

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 6," Bagman continued. "The Warriors will be informed about the specifics of the project a month in advance. Thank you for your support to the Warriors."

It's over, Hilbert began to think drowsily, at this time Madam Pomfrey began to escort the warriors and hostages back to the castle, to change into dry clothes... It's over, he passed... He doesn't have to worry about anything , until June 6th...
