The Son of Light of the Snake House

"You're a bit late up here, Harry - are you lost?" Hermione looked at him worriedly.

"No... It's not too late for me to find you..." He knew what Hermione was going to say. It wasn't that he was a little late, but he almost couldn't come back.

Now that Harry was out of the water, he knew perfectly well that Dumbledore must have set up effective security measures and would not allow the hostages to be lost because the warrior hadn't shown up. This was obvious.Why couldn't he just grab Ron and go?He could be the first to come back...

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 sound that a merman makes on the water, and apparently he could also speak merfolk, like Parseltongue.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." Harry said dryly.

Fleur bent her head and kissed Harry twice on each cheek.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.At this moment, Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded in their ears, which startled them and made the audience in the stands quiet down.

"Don't be angry, Draco." Daniel said in a sweet tone: "Look, it's time to score—how about I lend you the game console later? You can play whatever you want until you want to throw up."

Draco snorted before turning his head reluctantly, but his ears were still bright red.

"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... "

"Fleur Delacour, despite her excellent use of the Bubble Curse, was attacked by Green Lody as she approached the target and was unsuccessful in rescuing the hostages. We 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 Chang give Cedric a fiery look. "Therefore, we give him 1 points."

Harry's heart sank.If Cedric was over the allotted time, he must have been too.

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

Karkaroff slapped his hands very vigorously, looking triumphant.

"Harry Potter used gillweed to amazing effect," continued Bagman, "and he was the last to return, well past the hour allotted time. However, the merfolk tells 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.

"Most of the referees," Bagman said, glancing at Karkaroff with displeasure, "feel that this fully demonstrates noble morals. However..." He made a fool of himself.

Harry held his breath, feeling a little resentful, a little regretful, and now it was about the results of what he had done.

"Mr. Porter's score is 45."

Harry's heart jumped for joy - he had drawn 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.

Harry sighed in relief.

It's over, Harry thought vaguely, as Madam Pomfrey began escorting the warriors and hostages back to the castle to change into dry clothes... It's over, he passed... He didn't have to worry about anything until 6 April 24th...

Then he suddenly remembered the gill grass.

Maybe I should go to Daniel and say thanks.Harry thought so.

People can't wait to find out what's going on underwater, which means that for the first time in his life, Ron is at the center of attention along with Harry.Ron told the story over and over again, each time a little differently.

At first, what he said was quite factual, roughly the same as Hermione's statement-in Professor McGonagall's office, Dumbledore hypnotized the hostages by magic, and first assured them that they were absolutely safe and Wake up when out of the water.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.

Finally on this day, Harry got out of the crowd and saw Daniel's hem disappearing around the corner, so he hurried over.

"Daniel!" He stopped him first, and then laughed: "Thank you, the gill grass, for helping me a lot."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Daniel blinked: "How does it feel in the water?"

"Great!" Harry said, "It's just a pity that Ron and Fleur's sister are too heavy, which makes my return journey not so smooth--" He was talking, suddenly a little embarrassed: "You've been here recently What are you busy with?"

When he was surrounded by people's flattery, Daniel seemed to disappear.

"I—" Daniel laughed dryly, "I'm helping Professor Snape pack up the potion materials recently."

As a punishment for your own enemies.

Woohoo, how disgusting.Professor Snape.
