HP: The Shadow Returns

"Fleur, did you see anything? Underneath?" Dumbledore walked over boldly, squatted down and asked.

"There were octopuses down there, and they dragged me into the depths, and then I didn't know anything anymore."

This is normal. They all know that after Dumbledore confirmed again, he still got the same answer.

He slowly straightened up, staring silently at the water with his blue eyes.

But the people who were still looking for treasures under the water were unaware of all this. They just felt that there were far fewer aquatic creatures coming to harass the progress.

Harry suddenly seemed to see a pair of faint green eyes in the darkness deep in the water plants. Was it an illusion? The hair in his heart suddenly exploded, and he turned his head and swam hard towards his destination.

At this time, Sansaro was the first to successfully pass with Theodore. She just hugged the boy and slowly emerged from the water. Her gauze skirt was close to her body and she walked easily on the water with bare feet.

"Oh my God, how did this happen?"

“This is incredible”

"Sister Nasitan! There is something in the water, come up quickly!" Astoria was lying on the ground and pointed anxiously at the corpse floating in the water.

With wet hair stuck to the white gauze, Sansaro looked indifferent and stepped on the air out of thin air under the surprised eyes of everyone, just like stepping on stairs and returned to the competition stage.

The Slytherins gathered around them and wrapped thick towels around them.

"The first brave man to successfully find the treasure has appeared, Sansaro Nasitan!"

Theodore lay on top of her with a pale face and half-closed eyes, shivering from the cold. It was not until Sansaro cast a warming spell on him that he felt much better.

"Where's Cedric? Have you seen him?" Shalo came up anxiously and asked. The mermaid corpses floating up one after another made everyone feel very uneasy.

"There's something down there, right?"

"I don't know, I didn't see anything in the water, nothing." Sansaro's answer made them feel confused, but they still became more worried.

Cedric had seen from a distance four people tied up with long ropes under the turbid water. One of them was rescued, probably Sansaro.

That's Cho Chang on the far left... After seeing it clearly, he decisively took out his wand and directly used the magic spell to break the rope that tied Cho Chang.

When he went over to hug the girl and prepare to swim upstream, Krum also appeared with a shark's head on his head. He quickly bit off the rope that tied Hermione.

Of course Harry witnessed everything when he came over, and the three of them looked at each other.

Shadows surged around them, and they all felt the danger coming. Harry went up and untied Ron's rope. He looked around nervously and did not find Fleur, but her baby was still here.

Harry thought for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and rescued the little silver-haired girl.

When he was about to leave, suddenly, a spell passed through him with ripples of water. Harry struggled to hold on to their arms and looked up.

He looked stunned, was it Cedric? Why?

But then Cedric lowered his head and fired another spell at him, which also missed him. Harry reacted and turned his head to look down.

It was a huge crocodile. It retreated a distance after being hit by the magic spell. The dark scales blended into the surrounding environment, and he was almost invisible when he came over.

So Cedric just saved himself?

Before I had time to think about it, there were more and more shadows around me, which meant that more and more crocodiles were gathering. The circles they formed made the prey unable to escape. Pairs of green, cold-blooded eyes stared nervously. of three people.

Above, Krum was bitten by a crocodile on the arm in order to protect Hermione. Blood immediately seeped from the wound into the water, and the smell of blood made the crocodiles extremely excited.

They immediately launched an attack. Cedric hugged Qiuchang with all his strength, and never stopped releasing the magic wand in his hand. He first fought off the crocodile that bit Krum.

Krum cast a grateful look and took out his wand. Harry struggled to lead the two of them upstream. Because there was one more person, his speed was much slower.

The crocodile's attack continued, and their fangs were as terrifying as saw teeth. Krum had already begun to feel a little faint due to excessive blood loss, and his strength gradually dissipated.

His eyes were on the Savior below.

Harry's leg was also bitten by the crocodile and kept being pulled downwards. The water was dark and cold, seeming to drag him into the endless abyss.

He will die...Fear filled the Savior's heart, just like in the secret room that day. Do you want to give up? Just die here like this?

When he was confused, colorful magic spells saved Harry. It was Cedric and Krum. They had almost reached the water, and people at the competition venue also saw the figures on the dark lake.

"Cedric!"

"Krum!"

"Harry!!"

They shouted loudly for the warriors belonging to their side. Krum's head emerged from the water. The gurgling blood and white lips made them aware that something was wrong.

"Hurry up! Krum, they're catching up!" Cedric shouted, sending Qiu Zhang up first.

"Hearn...mi..." Krum's lips trembled, and he handed Hermione to those who were rushing to hold his hand.

Cedric also had wounds of various sizes on his body, but he had no time to care about anything else and also helped to bring Krum up.

But unfortunately, the next second Hermione was rescued, Krum was dragged into the water again.

"Ahhhh!" Karkaroff roared angrily as his favorite student disappeared. He kept asking Cedric, "What is that! What the hell is that damn thing!"

"There are crocodiles under the water, a lot of crocodiles..." Cedric leaned against the wall without any strength. He covered his head, not daring to recall Krum's tragic situation.

"Harry's not back yet!"

"And my sister!" Fleur heard Cedric's words, she cried heartbreakingly and collapsed on the ground.

When Hermione woke up, she knew that Krum had sacrificed himself for her safety, and tears burst into her eyes.

"No, no, no, Krum, Harry... Ron is also down there, it can't be like this."

She collapsed and took off her blanket and wanted to rush down to save them, but she was held back by Ginny and the others. Dumbledore looked serious, but according to the rules, he could never interfere in the competition. It was normal for the Triwizard Tournament to have casualties.

After a while, two more heads appeared on the water, silver and red. Furong recognized them at a glance as her sister. She jumped out to the water's edge and stretched out her hands desperately.

"Gabriel!! Get it! Hurry!"

The two of them swam desperately, and a huge black shadow appeared behind them. Now everyone saw the huge thing.

The dark back was half exposed on the water, the hard scales were glowing with cold light, and the greedy and cruel eyes were staring at the struggling Ron and Gabrielle.

It chased towards the two of them at an extremely fast speed, and everyone held their breath in fear.

"Ron! Hurry!" Hermione screamed.

Perhaps because his life was at stake, Ron dragged the little girl, and both of them swam forward desperately.

In the worried eyes of everyone.

Because Gabrielle had been in the water for too long and because of her young age, she was gradually unable to keep up.

She shed tears, and fear filled her young heart. At that moment, the accelerating crocodile rushed forward and bit half of Gabrielle's body.

"Sister! Save me!" Gabri shouted out in pain.

"Ahhhh!" Fleur screamed. She almost jumped down, but Madame Maxime pulled her back.
