The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

At this point, Maxim no longer thinks there is anything wrong with Dumbledore treating Link in this way.

If she had such a student, let alone bring him to a meeting, she would have given him the whole school!

"call!"

Maxim took a long, shaky breath, nodded, and said no more words.

But the way she looked at Link became more eager.

Karkaroff on the other side didn't think so.

To be precise, he hasn't reacted yet.

I saw him directly snapping the case and saying:

"Dumbledore, stop making excuses. How can a mere member of the Foley family afford the security work outside Hogwarts? You are clearly deliberately favoring Link Foley!

As the principal of Durmstrang, I will never allow this to happen unless you can get Krum involved!And as compensation for your behavior, I also need the competition organizing committee to give extra points to all the warriors except Link Foley! "

After saying this, Karkaroff raised his head proudly.

He felt that he had done a good job cooperating with Ms. Maxim this time, so he directly named the interests and appeals, and even gave Maxim a triumphant wink, indicating that she would quickly follow suit.

But Maxim ignored him at all.

Not only Maxim, but even Dumbledore remained silent after hearing this.

This made Karkaroff feel a little strange and couldn't help but look at the others.

But this look made the smile on his face completely freeze.

Because Dumbledore, Link, Moody, Snape, Maxim, Old Barty...

Everyone at the scene, except for the mermaid girl and the good old Bagman, looked at him with a look full of evil.

Especially Snape, the cold light in his deep eyes almost froze Karkaroff to death!

Under the glare of everyone, Karkarov sat back in his chair numbly, with a wonderful expression on his face.

"puff!"

Seeing this, Link couldn't help laughing, but Karkaroff, who had looked arrogant just now, lowered his head now, looking like he dared not speak out in anger.

"Okay, let's stop the meaningless quarrel. Let's get down to the topic." Dumbledore opened his mouth to help Karkaroff get through. "As for the third event of the Triwizard Tournament, I and I The preliminary version discussed by Batty is probably like this..."

Dumbledore flicked the wand in his hand, and a mosaic map composed of magic light particles floated in front of everyone.

"The third project is the final link of this Triwizard Tournament. Its rules are actually very simple. We will use the entire Hogwarts school as the venue to build a track. The warriors need to use the Forbidden Forest as the starting point. Passing through the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, and finally reaching the highest point of Hogwarts Castle.

We will place a trophy there, and whichever warrior can touch the trophy first will win the Triwizard Tournament. "

"Victory directly!?" Karkaroff, who was like a capon just now, shouted directly, "Don't we select the champion based on the total points we get?"

After saying this, Karkaroff felt that he seemed to be talking too much and hurriedly covered his mouth.

To be honest, his current appearance is a bit ridiculous, but no one at the scene thought it was inappropriate.

Even Ms. Maxim is now feeling excited.

There is no way, the competition system proposed by Dumbledore is really beneficial to them.

You must know that Link received full marks in the first two events. If the championship system is based on total points, he will most likely be the champion even if he fails to win the trophy first in the end.

But it's different now.

Even her family's Fleur, who currently has the lowest score, might be able to compete for the championship!

"It is true that you win directly when you touch the trophy. But the scores obtained by the warriors in the first two events are not meaningless." Dumbledore added with a smile, "The warriors' score ranking will determine their third place. The starting order in each event, that is to say, Link, you can start first when the time comes, and you will probably be about 5 minutes ahead of others.

In addition, in order to prevent anyone from leaking information about this project, it is also for everyone's safety.Starting today, Hogwarts will be completely closed.No one is allowed in or out of Hogwarts except for the family members of the warriors who will come to visit the game! "

After saying that, there was silence in the small secret room again.

Snape was looking at Link seriously, so as to stop him in time when he stood up and wanted to refute.

In his opinion, Link, the biggest victim of the competition reform at this moment, should be furious.

But in fact, Link doesn't care about the criteria for selecting the champion. At worst, he will kill all the other warriors, so that he is the only one left, and he can only be the champion in the end.

What really concerned him was that this time, Dumbledore not only did not shrink the playing area to control it as he expected, but instead expanded the playing field several times.

Could it be that Dumbledore wanted to see his enemy as weak and deliberately exposed his flaws to lure Voldemort and the others into taking the bait, so that he could finally defeat him in one fell swoop?

Link was a little confused as to what Dumbledore was up to, but since Dumbledore closed Hogwarts without mentioning it, Link simply kept silent.

Karkaroff and Maxim on the other side obviously had the same concerns as Link, but Dumbledore's current competition reform was too beneficial to them, and coupled with the previous pressure, they also remained silent.

"Do you have any other suggestions for the plan I proposed?" Dumbledore was still smiling, "No? Then let's make the decision."

After finalizing the final plan, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally relaxed.

Karkaroff, Maxim, Old Barty and others had no intention of continuing their meal and left directly.

For a moment, only Link, Snape, Dumbledore and the mermaid girl who remained silent from beginning to end were left in this small secret room.

Link knew that today's meeting was not completely over yet.

However, having just woken up, he really felt hungry at this moment. He didn't pay attention to the others and continued to enjoy the dishes carefully prepared by the house elves in front of him.

Dumbledore was not in a hurry. He waved his hand to stop Snape who wanted to say something, and just watched Link quietly eating.

It wasn't until Link had completely filled his belly and put down his knife and fork that Dumbledore smiled and said:

"Are you full, Link?"

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'm very full." Link rubbed his belly and said, "Then you should explain to me why you changed the process of the third project like this, right?"

"Link!"

Snape frowned to scold Link for his rude behavior.

But Dumbledore raised his hand to stop him.

"You should have guessed what I want to do, right? In short, I can guarantee you that this project will definitely catch all Tom and the others!"

Dumbledore slowly put a small piece of ice cream pudding into his mouth, chewed it, and said happily, "I have contacted the centaurs in the competition area in the Forbidden Forest. At that time, they will join forces with some friendly creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Go out to ensure your safety and participate in the capture of Death Eaters.

The interior of Hogwarts will be managed by professors, supplemented by magical armor, statues and other institutions in Hogwarts Castle.

As for the Black Lake, leave it to the mermaids. "

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he looked at the mermaid girl in the corner.

"Leave it to us."

The mermaid girl said with a smile.

The mermaid's voice was heard by Link in the golden egg of the second item.

Generally speaking, due to different organ structures, the sound of all fish after emerging from the water should be a terrifying scream.

But the mermaid girl in front of her was different.

Her voice was melodious and clear, perhaps due to her lack of proficiency in the language, and her intonation was a bit strange, but it was definitely not unpleasant. Instead, she sounded like she was singing.

Link, who heard her speak for the first time, locked his eyes firmly on the mermaid girl again, unwilling to move away for a long time.

In the end, Dumbledore couldn't help but said:

"We are bound to win within Hogwarts, but just in case, Link, your hunters outside the school should not be idle. I will place a communication coordinate on Harry at that time. , if the Death Eaters take him away from Hogwarts during the game, you let the hunters apparate over to support him. Of course, other professors and I will go at the same time."

Link thought for a moment and felt that it was quite appropriate, then he said:

"This plan can be quite comprehensive, and I can completely accept it on behalf of the Foley family. But I think I should also have one of the subpoena coordinates."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

He planted coordinates on Harry entirely because Harry was the main target of this Death Eater operation.

Now Link also wants to plant. Does this mean...

"Those guys already know your secret?"

"I'm just afraid of death."

Link made a fool of himself casually, and Dumbledore stopped delving into it and nodded:

"It's always better to be cautious. I will plant it for you when the time comes. In addition, the owl exam is about to start, so you should seize the time to review."?

"I will do this kind of thing without you reminding me."

Link waved his hand and said, he was really surprised that Dumbledore would still care about his Owl exam.

"In that case, you should go back and rest. You have been busy with so many things in the afternoon, and you probably haven't had enough rest yet."

Dumbledore said meaningfully.

But after hearing this, Link had no intention of getting up.

Because the mermaid girl in the corner hadn't left yet, he was extremely curious about that girl.

"Go! Don't ink!"

Snape would not coddle Link, so he shouted angrily and pulled Link out of the secret room, leaving the mermaid girl alone with Dumbledore.

Standing in the dark corridor, Link broke free from Snape's restraints and said while rubbing his wrist:

"Professor Snape, why are you pulling me? I also want to hear what Dumbledore and the others are talking about!"

"Don't take advantage of that mermaid."

Snape said coldly.

Link, who had his inner thoughts exposed, was not ashamed and said openly:

"It's not as serious as you said. I'm going to be engaged to Emily soon. How could I do such a thing?

I just thought that mermaid was weird, so I was a little curious about her. "

"Don't be curious or have any thoughts." Snape continued, "Anyway, stay away from her. It's best to pretend that you haven't seen her today."

It was okay if Snape didn't say it, but Link was even more curious when he said it.

"Oh why?"

Link asked with a raised eyebrow.

Snape's footsteps suddenly stopped, he turned his head and looked at Link:

"Whether it's the Forbidden Forest or Hogwarts Castle, although they are nominally under the responsibility of different people, they are actually assisted by professors and magical animals from Hagrid's hunting ground. But the Black Lake because of its special environment We can't give you much help at all with sex.

Under such circumstances, do you really think that the mermaids in the Black Lake can withstand the Death Eaters' attack? "

"So that mermaid is the helper Dumbledore invited to help the Black Lake?" Link guessed with some uncertainty, "Ocean mermaid?"

"The princess of the mermaids of the ocean! Or the quasi-queen of the mermaids of the ocean!"

"So, she must be very strong?"

Hearing this, Snape suddenly smiled, and the look he looked at Link changed from the cold one before to one that looked like he was looking at a fool.

"Although I don't know what her detailed abilities are, she is definitely stronger than you think!"

Snape explained, "Otherwise, why do you think wizards would allow mermaids to occupy a territory as large as the ocean? Is it just based on humanitarianism?"

As soon as he said this, Link finally understood why the people in the small secret room were unwilling to approach the mermaid girl.

Emotionally, those guys didn't dislike the mermaid girl or discriminate against her, but they were simply afraid of her, a powerful alien.

But this is a good thing for Link, at least the Black Lake should be safe.

"Wait a minute," Link said as if he suddenly remembered something, "Why would such a powerful master be willing to come to Hogwarts to help us?"

"It was the Black Lake Mermaids who contacted me. They also had a lot of responsibility in the second project, so they wanted to make meritorious deeds.

Of course, as a reward, Dumbledore also paid the mermaid princess a full 50 liters of Phoenix Tears! "

Snape's voice sounded a bit gritty, but this is understandable. After all, in the eyes of a potion master like Snape, phoenix tears are simply rare and rare medicinal materials. In the end, Dumbledore just gave them to the mermaids. Give so much at once!

But Link's expression was a little strange.

Because it reminds me of the tank of phoenix tears soaked in a yo-yo.

At that time, the strong pain stimulated the flow of Yo-Yo's feces and urine, coupled with the Yo-Yo's venom and blood, although the vat of tears was still useful, the effect of it was actually greatly reduced due to contamination.

No way?No way?Dumbledore is just so shameless, right?

Link, with a strange expression, kept thinking silently in his heart,
