Chapter 177 'The Most Beloved Baby'

"Hermione!" Jacqueline yelled, and she rushed into the water, grabbing Hermione's hand and desperately pulling her out of the water.Hermione woke up as soon as her head came out of the water, and Jacqueline took her arm and made her stand up.Afterwards, Jacqueline hugged Hermione tightly to her chest, "It's great that you're fine!"

Hermione's face burned instantly.

"I'm fine, Jacqueline." Hermione smiled as Jacqueline wrapped the thick blanket tightly around Hermione's body, although she was dripping with water. "I'm really fine."

"Merlin's pants!" Jacqueline growled, the veins on her neck and head were all protruding, she stuffed the hot potion into Hermione's hand, and pulled her towards the shore, "It's okay, it's such a cold day, thank you." Jacqueline grabbed the blanket that Madam Pomfrey handed Krum, and wrapped it around Hermione again. Madam Pomfrey was very angry Glancing at her, he went back to get the blanket for Krum, "Throwing you into the lake? Dumbledore must be crazy."

"I'm about to sweat, Jacqueline." Hermione smiled at Jacqueline, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, unable to move except her head. "How is Harry? He..."

At this time, the stands were full of voices, shouting and yelling, and everyone seemed to stand up.

"Mind yourself," said Jacqueline, looking carefully to see if there was any part of Hermione's blanket that wasn't wrapped properly.

Behind them, Harry and Ron and Gabriel seemed to be coming up.

Percy grabs Ron and drags him ashore ("Let go, Percy, I'm fine!"); Dumbledore and Bagman pull Harry up; Fleur breaks free from Madame Maxime's hold, He hugged his sister.

"It's Grimlody... those Grimlodies are coming at me... oh, Gabriel, I thought... I thought..."

"You all come here," Madam Pomfrey said.She grabbed Harry and pulled him closer to Hermione and the others, wrapping him tightly in a blanket.

"Do you still need a potion?" Jacqueline said, looking at the potion in Madam Pomfrey's hand. It seemed that as long as Hermione asked for it, she would take it no matter who it was for. "Hi, can I get another blanket, I need to dry her hair," Jacqueline called to those around her.

"I'm literally sweating," laughed Hermione. "Good job, Harry!" she shouted. "You did it, you did it all by yourself!"

"Actually," Hareton was there. He didn't know what to say at first, but he changed immediately after seeing Karkaroff staring at him.Among several referees, he was the only one who didn't leave the table, and he was the only one who didn't show joy and relief after seeing Harry, Ron and Fleur's sister come back safely. "Yeah, that's right," Harry corrected, raising his voice a little for Karkaroff to hear.

"You've got a water beetle in your hair, huh, mi, um," said Krum from behind them, as if trying to draw Hermione's attention to himself.Maybe it was to remind Hermione that he had rescued her from the bottom of the lake just now.

"Thank you for not letting her die." Jacqueline gave him a vicious look, took the blanket Madam Pomfrey handed her, grabbed the water beetle that was sitting on Hermione's hair, and threw it away Far away, and then gently brushed Hermione's hair.

Hermione looked at her a little helplessly, and looked at her a little funny, and said, "But, Harry, you're running out of time...did it take you a long time to find us?"

"No...it's not too late for me to find you..."

Dumbledore was squatting by the water, talking closely with the particularly rough and fierce female mermaid who looked like the leader.Dumbledore made the high-pitched noise that a merman makes on the water, and apparently he could speak merfolk too.Finally, he stood up straight and turned to the other referees, saying, "Let's have a meeting first before scoring."

Several referees gathered together.Madam Pomfrey freed Ron from Percy's clutching hands, led him to Harry and the others, gave him a blanket and some pick-me-ups, and went to fetch Fleur and her sister.Fleur had bruises all over her face and arms, and her robe was torn, but she didn't seem to mind, and she didn't let Madam Pomfrey clean it up for her.

"Go and take care of Gabriel," she said to Madam Pomfrey, and then turned to Harry. "You saved her," she said, almost breathless with excitement, "even though she wasn't your hostage."

"Yeah," said Harry.Fleur bent her head and kissed Harry twice on each cheek (Harry felt his face was on fire, and he wouldn't be surprised if the heat came out of his ears again), and then To Ron, "And you, you helped too."

"Yeah," said Ron, expectantly, "Yeah, helped a little."

Fu Rong rushed over and kissed him a few times.

"He must be very happy now." Hermione smiled and turned to look at Jacqueline. "Oh, please, don't drag your face. I'm really fine."

"I don't think I saw anything funny." Jacqueline looked at Krum with a cold face.Then she turned her head and glanced up and down at Hermione, who was wrapped up without a single gap, "I think you should go back to the lounge now, take a good shower, change into clean clothes, and drink a cup of hot water." Chocolate." She frowned.

"Then how do I walk back?" Hermione asked, trying to hop in place, but she couldn't even bend her knees.

"It's not funny, Miss Granger." Jacqueline moved her lips.

At this moment, Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded in their ears, which startled them and made the audience in the stands quiet down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Mercus, the leader of the mermaids, told us everything that happened under the lake. We have decided to rate the warriors as follows... "

"Although Fleur Delacour showed excellent use of the Bubble Curse, she was attacked by Green Lody when approaching the target and failed to rescue the hostage. We will give her 25 points."

There was applause from the stands.

"I should have scored zero." Furong shook her graceful head and said hoarsely.

"Cedric Diggory also used the Bubble Curse. He was the first to return with the hostages, but he exceeded the one-hour time limit by one minute." The Hufflepuff students in the crowd enthusiastically Cheers, the sound is deafening.Harry saw Cho Zhang give Cedric a fiery look. "Therefore, we give him 1 points."

"Viktor Krum performed Transfiguration, incomplete but still effective, and he was the second to return with the hostages. We give him 40 points."

Karkaroff slapped his hands very vigorously, looking triumphant.

"Harry Potter used gill grass to amazing effect," continued Bagman. "He was the last to return, well past the one-hour time limit. However, the merman leader told us that Potter Mr. was the first to find the hostages, and he failed to return in time because he wanted to ensure that all the hostages returned safely, instead of only caring about his own hostages."

Both Ron and Hermione gave Harry half-regretty, half-sympathy glances.Jacqueline grimaced and began to pick the weeds out of Hermione's hair.

"Most of the referees," said Bagman, glanced at Karkaroff very dissatisfiedly, "think that this fully reflects the noble morality. However...Mr. Porter's score is 45 points."

Harry's heart jumped for joy as he drew with Cedric for the first time.Ron and Hermione stared blankly at Harry in amazement, then laughed happily and clapped wildly with the rest of the audience.

"It's you, Harry!" Ron shouted at the top of the noise, "So you're not stupid, you're showing morality!"

Fleur was also clapping her hands hard, but Krum looked very unhappy.He tried to strike up a conversation with Hermione again, but she just cheered Harry on and ignored him.

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 6," Bagman continued. "The Warriors will be informed about the specifics of the project a month in advance. Thank you for your support to the Warriors."

"I hope that only warriors will participate in this project." Jacqueline said dissatisfiedly, she finally felt that Hermione, who was wrapped in two thick blankets, could not walk, so she reluctantly won one. "You'd better go back and change quickly and take a hot bath, or you'll catch a cold." When they returned to the castle with Madam Pomfrey, the warriors and others, Krum looked He still wanted to talk to Hermione, but Jacqueline walked directly beside Hermione, completely blocking the possibility between them.

"You'd better go back and take a bath." When they entered the castle, Hermione stopped and looked at Jacqueline, "otherwise I think you're the one with the cold. Your robe is half wet, Didn't you notice?"

Jacqueline glanced at herself, her robes dripping all the way, and she frowned at Hermione again.

"I swear to Merlin, the first thing I do when I get back is to go straight to the bathroom." Hermione raised her hand and pointed the middle three fingers.

"Okay then." Jacqueline nodded to her and walked towards her lounge, "See you in class tomorrow."

One of the best things about the end of both projects was that everyone was eager to find out what was going on under the lake, which meant that for the first time in his life Ron was at the center of everyone's attention, just like Harry.Ron told the story over and over again, each time a little differently.At first, what he said was in line with the facts, roughly the same as what Hermione said. In Professor McGonagall's office, Dumbledore used magic to hypnotize the hostages, and first assured them that they were absolutely not in danger, and as soon as they came out The surface of the water will wake up.A week later, however, Ron told a heart-pounding kidnapping story of how he had fought with his bare hands against fifty armed mermaids who had to force him into submission before they tied him up.

Now that Ron has become so conspicuous, Padma is much more enthusiastic about him. Every time she meets him in the corridor, she always takes the initiative to talk to Ron. "It's all right, I've got my wand up my sleeve," he assured Padma Patil, "I can subdue those mermaid fools if I want."

"What do you want to do? Snore them?" said Hermione sharply.She became Viktor Krum's favorite baby, and people made fun of it all day long, so she was very bad-tempered now.

Ron's ears turned red, and since then his story has returned to the version of being hypnotized by magic.
