The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

When Harry ran to the referee's seat out of breath, the large hourglass on the table that represented the countdown to the start of the game was completely empty.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. I, I overslept."

Harry said in shock.

He was almost late, and once he was late, even if it was just a second late, the best result would be zero points.

The scariest thing is that other students may regard him as a deserter!

After Harry apologized, he lowered his head in shame. He felt that he had made a very serious mistake, which caused Hogwarts to be humiliated in front of the other two schools.

However, the rebuke and humiliation he expected did not appear.

Dumbledore just smiled and consoled him with a few words and then ended it. The other referees beside him didn't say anything, and even the students in the audience acted very indifferently.

It's like it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.

This weird scene made him confused for a moment.

In fact, Harry's guess was correct at all.

Everyone really doesn't care whether he comes or not, late or not.

After all, Hogwarts already has a six-pointed star warrior like Link who can crush all other warriors.

With Link and Jewel in front, Harry seemed a bit redundant.

Seeing that the situation seemed a little awkward for a while, Bagman immediately opened his mouth to come to the rescue, and brought a confused Harry to Link and the others.

As they walked, Bagman was still whispering something to Harry.

"Are you all right, Harry."

Seeing Harry holding his stomach and looking like he was running in pain, Link asked casually.

However, at this time, Harry was in so much pain that he could not speak. He could only squeeze out a grateful smile towards Link and wave to indicate that he was fine.

Bagman on the side didn't give Harry much chance to relax. He put his wand against his throat and cast a loud-sounding spell, and then explained:

"Okay, the game is about to start, but before that, please allow me, Ludo Bagman, to explain to you the rules of this game.

Since cracking the secret of the Golden Egg is part of the game, I can't tell you how to complete the game right now.Only after you all officially start playing will I announce the final goal so that the audience can understand it.

What I can say to the warriors now is that your competition venue this time will be within the Black Lake.Later, you will be divided into the four shores of the Black Lake, the southeast, northwest and into the water, and complete your tasks in the water.

One thing is particularly worth noting.It is prohibited to bring or use magic items other than wands that are more dangerous than xxx in this competition.It is also prohibited to bring or drive your pets and war beasts.

If you have any illegal items on your person, please hand them over now. Principal Dumbledore will be happy to keep them for you. "

Bagman's words were very polite and sounded extremely pragmatic, without any intention of being specific.

But after he finished speaking, his eyes looked directly at Link.

The meaning here is self-evident.

Whether it is arranging for the warriors to spread out in the water or not allowing the use of pet beasts, these are all specifically weakened for Link.

With a subtle sigh, Link finally handed over Arkham and Yo-Yo to Dumbledore.

There was no way, Bagman didn't have the guts to take on the Basilisk and the Winged Demon, two terrifying creatures that could be called wizard killers. As soon as Link took out the little guys, Bagman started to tremble in fear, and Link also It can only be handed over to Dumbledore personally.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the little guys were dissatisfied with being forced to separate from Link and deliberately bared their teeth to scare people.

In fact, not only Bagman, but also the expressions of the other referees on the referee's bench changed when they saw this.

Everyone has heard from Dumbledore that Link possesses a very powerful magical animal. It is precisely because of this that they will join forces to set rules for Link.

But they really didn't expect that the pet in Link's hand would be so terrifying!

Forget about the basilisk, it's not strange for a snake-talking Link like him to control a basilisk.

But what happened to the Winged Demon?

Can anyone really tame such a dangerous creature?

Oh, it seems there is.

The last person to be tamed appears to be Newt Scamander.

Under everyone's frightened eyes, Dumbledore took Arkham and Yo-Yo with a smile.

Then, a shocking scene occurred.

Arkham and Yo-Yo, who had just opened their teeth and looked like they were ready to devour anyone at any moment, became extremely docile as soon as they were in Dumbledore's hands.

The yo-yo even shrank into a shell ball again.

"They are all good children." Dumbledore smiled and touched Arkham's head, and then stared at Link with a half-smiling look, "But have you forgotten something?"

"Well, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

Link shook his head and pretended to be stupid.

Hearing this, the smile on Dumbledore's face grew stronger, but his eyes fell on Link's cloak.

So under everyone's shocked gazes, Link sighed and handed the Voldemort bat he wore as a cold-proof cloak to Dumbledore.

Like Arkham and Yo-Yo before him, Voldebat struggled violently as soon as he left Link's body, but then became quiet again after Dumbledore's wand flickered.

"You, you actually wear a Voldemort Bat on your body!?"

Karkaroff, who had remained silent from beginning to end, finally couldn't help but speak.

The expressions of the other referees also became a little gloomy.

Voldebat, basilisk, crocodile, plus Link himself.

This kind of strength can almost challenge powerful principals and Ministry of Magic officials to assassinate them alone.

Is it a bit too bullying to participate in the Triwizard Tournament with this configuration?

Link and Dumbledore will naturally leave them alone.

Link didn't wear much clothes for the convenience of the game. After removing the Voldemort Bat, the one-piece swimsuit on him was directly exposed.

This swimsuit is entirely black, and its surface is densely covered with various streamlined and strange patterns. It is extremely smooth and glows with a mysterious light under the sunlight, as if it is coated with special paint.

Best of all, it's skin-tight!

Link has been paying attention to physical exercise and diet control since he came to this world. Coupled with the unique development advantages of adolescence, Link already has a strong body like an ancient Greek hero statue.

At this moment, being wrapped up in a tight swimsuit, many girls in the stands who were watching with magic telescopes couldn't help but scream.

Even Maxim and Fleur, who was immersed in worry, couldn't help but look at Link a few more times.

Dumbledore was looking at Link too.

To be precise, he was looking at Link's swimsuit.

"Very nice clothes, you look handsome in them!"

Dumbledore praised with a smile.

But Link heard something else from his words.

He took a deep breath and explained helplessly:

"This is purely a product of Muggle technology, not a magic item."

"Oh, I see."

The curious light in Dumbledore's eyes dissipated instantly. Although due to Grindelwald's influence, he did not look down on Muggles as much as other noble wizards, he was still affected by some inherent thoughts after all.

He felt that apart from weapons, most of the things Muggles made were of little use.

In the same way, it can be speculated that the swimsuit that Link is wearing should also be a piece of gold and jade that looks like gold and jade on the outside.

People who think like him account for the majority of the entire wizard group. Karkaroff and Old Barty also lost interest in this swimsuit after hearing Link's explanation.

Among them, Karkaroff, who still advocated the supremacy of pure blood, even snorted disdainfully.

However, what they don't know is that the swimsuit Link is wearing can be said to be the highest level product of Muggle technology.

Not only does it have excellent thermal insulation effect, but the weird patterns on the exterior are also arranged according to special rules, giving it a partially shark-skin-like effect.

Furong is obviously a good judge of things.

Because she was also wearing a pink swimsuit, but it was not that high-end, it was just an ordinary item.

Therefore, the way she looked at Link now became very strange, mixed with various complex emotions such as joy, surprise, and envy.

The removal of contraband is over and the game can finally continue.

Bagman directed Percy and other prefects to take the other three warriors to other water entry points in the distance, and he personally led Link to the waterfront in front of the referee's seat.

"Link, please don't blame me. Restrictions like not allowing pets have nothing to do with me. Those were all negotiated by Dumbledore and the others!"

As soon as they were far away, Bagman leaned into Link's ear and whispered.

Link didn't find this surprising.

The scene where he handed over his things just now was witnessed by other spectators. Now there was a commotion in the stands. Most of them felt that the referees were deliberately targeting Link. Some Slytherins even threatened to go to the referees. In order to maintain the dignity of Link, their cheap boss.

It's normal for Bagman to be afraid.

His strength and power are far less than those of other referees. A few Slytherin nobles are enough to feed him.

So what he meant behind his words was that he wanted Link to say some fair words for him.

However, although Link understood, he had no intention of helping.

He smiled evilly and pretended not to understand:

"It's okay, I can win the championship even without Arkham and the others."

After saying that, he walked straight to the shore.

Bagman opened and closed his mouth several times, but his expression finally turned gloomy. He put the wand against his neck again and said:

"Now, I declare, the game begins!"

The cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rang out from the stands again.

Link could imagine that Harry and the others at the other three water entry points would definitely dive into the water desperately at this time, trying to get the first mover advantage.

But Link didn't intend to do that.

This is winter swimming!

Even with the protection of a top-notch swimsuit and moisture-proof charm, there is still danger if you don't warm up properly.

So, he slowly did radio gymnastics on the shore for a while, and then walked towards the water under the eyes of others who hated steel.

Before entering the water, he tapped his head with the wand.

In an instant, a huge bubble automatically wrapped around his head, causing him to look no different from the Celestial Dragon in a certain anime from his previous life.

The water in Black Lake is very cold.

Although he was fully prepared, the chill continued to spread upwards as he gradually walked towards the deep water.

Link was still walking very slowly, stepping on the slippery sand and gradually approaching the center of the lake. After his body had completely adapted to the cold, he plunged into the lake.

In an instant, Link felt that everything around him became quiet.

The transparent bubble on his head is the product of the Bubble Charm. Although it looks fragile, it can effectively waterproof and provide enough oxygen for people to move underwater or in places where poisonous gas spreads. It is an Auror The magic spell they must choose to perform certain special tasks.

With its help, Link can cast spells as freely underwater as on shore, and Link also has good vision.

What appears in front of Link now is a wonderful underwater world.

Large swaths of undulating black water plants formed a large forest, dancing with the water flow.

They are a good source of food for fish. Many small silvery-white fish are swimming fast inside. The gray protective color on their bodies makes it difficult for Link to distinguish them from the sediment. He can only wait until they occasionally When they turn at a specific angle, the scales on their bodies will reflect a bright silver light.

These fish are not afraid of humans, and some even swim up to Link's side. As if they are deliberately teasing Link, they slip under his crotch and ribs, and then swim away into the distance.

And as long as you look in the direction they are going, you can see many strange black shadows hidden in the dark and hazy lake in the distance.

These black shadows were extremely huge, standing just in Link's field of vision, like giant beasts hiding in the dark, ready to pounce and attack at any time.

Farther away at the bottom of the lake, there was even a hazy green light shining slowly, like clusters of will-o'-the-wisps.

But even in such an environment, Link didn't feel the slightest panic.

the reason is simple.

Several days before the start of the game, he had already explored most of the bottom of the Black Lake with the help of Arkham.

The black shadows in the distance are not monsters, just big rocks or rotten wood.

Those green lights were not the eyes of sea monsters, but the lights coming from the Slytherin common room.

As for the mermaid village at the end of this competition, Link is even more familiar with it.

After just staying in the water for a moment, Link had already found the right direction.

Then, Link flicked his wand, and a large amount of cursed power burst out from the tip of the wand, forming a pair of huge wings in the form of light black light in the water, hanging behind Link.

The pair of wings flapped violently, and the huge force pushed Link towards his destination like a torpedo.
