Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Hagrid stood up from his four-person chair in a flash, and his rough voice echoed far away in the arena where people were watching with bated breath:

"Hit!!!"

From Krum's perspective, the water column barely existed.

Because for Krum, who was approaching Harry and whose entire head, including his respiratory system, had been transformed into a shark...

A creature with eyes on both sides needs to defend itself from a stream of water that is about the thickness of two fingers stretched side by side and that is hard to see...

It's still a bit too hard for the shark.

......

Krum only felt a pain that didn't seem that serious...

Experience told him that this was not the effect of the spell, but simply the pain caused by the impact.

This confused Krum.

Fortunately, before he could finish being confused, the spell had already taken effect -

Krum's two shark eyes suddenly bulged!

Because he suddenly discovered that

I couldn't even breathe!

No matter how Krum opened his gills, he couldn't get even a drop of oxygen from the freezing water of the Black Lake!

How could Harry Potter possibly cast such a powerful spell?!

Waves of suffocation caused by lack of oxygen came over me. Aquatic animals use gill filaments to filter water to obtain oxygen, which directly leads to the fact that "holding your breath" is simply unrealistic.

Krum's mind was beginning to become confused.

How to do?

Remove the Transfiguration Curse?

But the result is the same...

Even at this time, Krum's final question was "When will Harry be able to cast such a powerful spell?", instead of being angry like Fleur and Cedric about how the other party "dared to kill him".

It has to be admitted that the students of Durmstrang are indeed more adapted to combat than those of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons.

Carmen blinked at the side, her eyes revealing a clear confusion——

He really didn't see it.

Even as knowledgeable as he was, at such a close distance, he couldn't tell what spell or curse Harry was using.

He checked almost all of his knowledge as an alchemist "Puppet Sage" and thought of all the forbidden spells related to "air" and "water" that he could think of...

There was no way to find out what spell a fourteen-year-old wizard could cast so easily (doubtful) that it could suffocate an eighteen-year-old wizard whose magical power should not be underestimated.

Isn’t this unscientific?

Could it be that... magic is really just pure idealism? I think, therefore I am?

Then why am I working so hard studying alchemical theory (sweat)?

Carmen wasn't too worried about herself.

First of all, if the guy called "Savior" had any brains and self-awareness, he would not have challenged two warriors from other schools in succession.

Secondly, just because the spell can hit Krum doesn’t mean it can hit Carmen.

Krum was hit because of the incoordination of his limbs caused by his half-baked Transfiguration. He was a typical example of strong limbs and a simple mind, the two did not match.

Carmen is not like this...

Finally, even if Carmen was hit...

He doesn't care about this game at all?

If you lose, you lose.

......

Not to mention Carmen who was frantically searching for the principle in her mind.

in the audience.

After seeing Harry's blow...

Blasted.

Of course, it didn't explode in the physical sense.

Puzzled, doubtful, revelry, celebration, screaming, cursing...

There are four large stands in a circle, and you can see all kinds of things.

Among them, positive emotions (such as cheering, celebration, etc.) mainly come from the Gryffindor area.

Negative emotions (such as scolding, cursing, etc.) come from the Slytherin stands and those Durmstrangs.

There was no "primarily from" because only the Slytherin area was swearing.

As for other neutral emotions such as screaming, confusion, etc., they should naturally be attributed to other people, such as the melon-eating badger and the show-watching eagle.

......

Among all the people, only a handful, or no more than five, understood what had happened.

Oh...someone already knew what was going on.

Those who understood it included Anriel, Dumbledore, Filius Flitwick...

And those who already knew...

It was Barty Crouch Jr.

Let's go back to the time when the game had just started, no, before it started.

Well, Harry was not late for today's game, so Crouch Jr. had every right to chat with Harry before the game started.

To be honest, Harry was embarrassed at the time -

On the one hand, he didn't want Professor "Moody" to see his bulging pockets and ask what was inside...

On the other hand, he didn't want to give up on the powerful wizard who gave him advice and suggestions in the few minutes before the game started...

"Hey, Potter, are you ready?!"

"Ah! Oh... uh... Professor Moody, I'm going to... uh... ah..."

Harry looked into those sharp eyes and wanted to tell a lie.

But obviously, lying under the nose of Alastor Moody is not an easy thing, or rather - it is very difficult, almost impossible.

"I... I'm not prepared at all... ah... it's a mess..."

Harry sighed and told the truth in a frustrated tone.

Moody twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that didn't look like a smile:

"Take it easy, Potter! There are lots of spells - I mean, simple little spells - that work really well underwater!"

Moody drew his wand:

"Hmm? --Immune to water and fire!"

He suddenly shouted a curse.

A beam of light hit the glasses on Harry's nose, and the impact almost knocked him over.

But a strong hand supported him:

"Just like this...Okay, Potter, go to the competition. Everyone is optimistic about you!"

Harry was pushed by Moody and stood in the preparation area in a daze:

Professor Moody...what does that mean?

He should have known that I would not wear...

and many more!

Harry's eyes suddenly widened:

"So it is!——"

"Collapsed."

Oh, before he could even exclaim, he was knocked down by Carmen.

The moment he saw Harry being knocked down, Crouch almost crushed the wooden armrest of the chair...

To be honest, anyone would be furious if this happened.

Dumbledore glanced at Moody without saying anything.

......

Time cuts back to the present.

It turns out that if the target is someone like Fleur and Cedric, who use the Bubble Head Curse, or someone like Carmen and Anriel, who don't even need to breathe...

Then this spell is totally useless.

As luck would have it, Krum turned into a genuine aquatic animal that breathes through gills.
