The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

February 24th, the day of the second event competition.

Although the game was about to start at nine o'clock, Link was not in a hurry. He got up slowly at seven o'clock in the morning as usual, brushed his teeth and washed up. After eating breakfast, he delayed it until a quarter past eight and three before slowly walking towards the stadium.

None of the students at Hogwarts thought there was anything wrong with Link's almost lazy attitude.

No one had any intention of urging Link to arrive early and wait.

This is also normal.

After Link easily killed a fire dragon last year in a leisurely manner that was almost like walking to eat after a meal, everyone felt that this year's Triwizard Cup champion should be Link's. Even Maxim and Ka Karloff is no exception.

After all, Link's strength is too unscientific and magical.

This made the people of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang desperate, but at the same time, the students of Hogwarts were laughing so hard that they could hardly close their mouths.

Putting aside the bullshit international friendship, they actually like to see this group of people from other schools being embarrassed, and they also like to see Link put on such a relaxed attitude and don't take anyone seriously.

As a result, many people instinctively gathered around Link. They kept smiling and saying words of cheer and celebration to Link. They didn't even take up seats in the arena. They waited until the last moment to consciously follow Link. Head to the arena behind you.

It was as if Link was leading a large group of people into a group fight.

The location of the second project is actually not too far from the fire dragon enclosure of the first project, and is located on the edge of the Black Lake some distance to the west.

But now the fire dragon enclosure has been completely demolished, and the terraced seats inside have been moved layer by layer to the lakeside.

As for the referee's seat, it was at another table covered with a golden tablecloth by the lake. Fleur, Krum and the referees were sitting there looking towards Link.

The students in the audience were doing the same thing.

However, compared to the calmness of the referees, the students at Hogwarts were a little restless.

When they witnessed Link 'leading' a large number of Hogwarts students from Hogwarts Castle to the venue, they all cheered and shouted involuntarily.

"Link!~"

"Hogwarts!"

"Hogwarts!"

……

Their voices were so loud that the surface of the Black Lake was shaken with layers of ripples.

Listening to these shouts, the students who had been following Link became more and more arrogant, and some of the younger Slytherins even swung excitedly.

Among all the people, only Link was the calmest. He walked towards the referee's seat expressionlessly without any change in pace.

In contrast, there were the pale and ugly faces of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons.

Bagman seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the scene and was very excited. He stood up directly to meet Link, pulled Link and walked to the referee's seat.

That's where the warriors gather.

"Link, you are finally here, everyone is waiting for you!"

Bagman said excitedly, while he was rubbing Link's shoulders and arms, as if to help Link warm up.

Link frowned and immediately shook him off.

But even so, Bagman was not annoyed at all and still enthusiastically led Link.

On the other side, the Hogwarts students who followed Link also returned to the stands under the leadership of their respective house prefects.

This was Dumbledore's order. The original intention was to let the prefects control the students so that the guests of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons would not feel too embarrassed.

It's a pity that the mentality of these prefects is not much different from other students.

As a result, under the indulgence of the prefects, instead of calming down, the scene became even more noisy and chaotic.

Maxim and Karkaroff's expressions were extremely ugly, but when they saw Link approaching, they both forced themselves to smile to give Link, the heir to the Foley family, some face.

Dumbledore nodded and smiled at Link cheerfully, but unfortunately Link never liked him very much, so he naturally didn't show too much enthusiasm this time.

There is no way, Dumbledore's methods are really too powerful.

As for the scene where the prefects were welcoming the students, Link wouldn't believe that Dumbledore didn't know the character of those prefects.

Dumbledore was prepared to embarrass Maxim and Karkaroff from the beginning, otherwise he could just send Professor McGonagall to pick up the students.

Except for the three of them, other people on the referee's bench and around him didn't have a good look towards Link.

As if he hadn't noticed Link, Krum remained silent as he stared at the Black Lake, which was still unfrozen in the cold winter. His expression was not as relaxed as Link's, but strictly speaking, he was not nervous either.

Durmstrang Magic School is located in an extremely cold place, and he has long been used to winter swimming.

Furong's expression was rather ugly. She was also staring at the Black Lake. Her lips, which used to be as pink as jade, had now completely turned pale, and there was endless worry hidden in her eyebrows.

Seeing Link coming, she opened and closed her mouth a few times, but stopped talking.

Knowing that she was worried about his sister Gabrielle, Link was not affected by the hints of her movements and took the initiative to talk. Instead, he stopped in front of Old Barty Crouch.

"Mr. Foley, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Old Batty asked quietly.

He looked weaker and older.

Thinking of what Percy had said before about Old Barty being injured for no reason, Link's eyes flashed blue, and sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of blood from Old Barty, as well as that special smell that belonged only to the dying old man. The rancid smell.

This old guy, this time is really not easy.

After confirming this, Link naturally showed a malicious smile to Old Barty.

He had no intention of hiding his malicious thoughts at all, so the look in Old Batty's eyes became even more ugly.

As a human spirit, Bagman naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere between the two. He deliberately smiled and made jokes in an attempt to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. He also wanted to save some face for his colleague Old Barty.

It's a pity that neither Link nor Old Barty are willing to give him face.

The two of them still stood speechless, one with a gloomy face, the other with an evil smile on his face, exuding malice without concealment.

It wasn't until Dumbledore noticed something unusual here that he deliberately coughed twice before Link looked away and slowly stood beside Krum and Fleur.

At the same time, Harry's figure finally emerged from Hogwarts Castle and ran towards the Black Lake as if he was desperate.

The moment they saw this scene, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the game is about to start.
