·
Jing Shen Tian Si
"It's a bet, it's a bet."
"Come on! Everyone, it's better to act than to move."
"Four boys and one girl."
"Five into the water, how many can survive?"
Early in the morning, George and Fred set the game around the field.
On the edge of the Black Lake, several large platforms were set up, and the auditorium was already full of people.
Except for Barty Crouch who didn't come due to illness and gave up the referee's position to Percy, the other five referees all sat neatly in front of a table.
Cedric Diggory, Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Harry Potter and Aaron Gaius all stood at the referee table, waiting quietly Game start.
"I've been looking forward to it for several months, don't let me down!" Adrian said meaningfully.
Aaron put Abe in front of Adrian, and said very seriously: "I will fulfill your request."
"Wait and see."
Ludo Bagman came among the warriors and ordered them to line up on the bank, at least ten feet apart.
"Loud voice." Bagman pointed his wand at his throat and amplified his voice with amplifying spells, "Welcome to the second event. Last night, the warriors had their beloved things stolen, their treasures .
These treasures are now lying at the bottom of Black Lake, and to win, each warrior just needs to find the treasure and return to the surface.
But there is a time limit, they only have one hour, beyond the time limit they have to rely on themselves, no magic can save them.
As soon as the cannon fires, the game begins. "
The time is 25:5, and it is 09:30 in [-] minutes.
Cedric, Krum, Fleur, and Harry all took off their coats and changed into smart swimsuits to make it easier for them to move underwater.
The four of them looked at Aaron who was at the very edge, because he was the only one who was out of place and wrapped himself up thickly.
"What are you looking at me for? I've never seen a handsome guy!"
"You... don't need to change into your swimsuit?" Furong asked suspiciously.
"I have my own method." Aaron said lightly, and then looked at Fu Rong, "I have a good figure."
Fu Rong blushed slightly, and said with a sneer, "You know how to appreciate it now?"
"Hehe! I'm just telling the truth.
But I hope you don't make me worry this time. I'm not Roger Davis, and I won't stand by your side just because you have a good figure. "
Fu Rong snorted coldly, and turned her face away arrogantly.
"Aaron, there is something I think it's better to tell you in advance." Harry said hesitantly, "The so-called baby that Mr. Bagman said just now is actually..."
"I know." Aaron said lightly, "Our dance partner."
"It's not just a dance partner." Harry said with a complicated expression, "it's the most important person to us. For example, the person I want to save is Ron."
"Parvati will be sad."
The corners of Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little sorry for the girl in his heart.
Obviously he had the cheek to invite her to be his dance partner, but after completing the warrior's opening dance task, he put her aside.
"What did you say just now?" Fu Rong asked worriedly, "Could it be that what was stolen from us..."
"If there are no accidents...it is what you think." Aaron said meaningfully, "In short, behave well! Miss Delacour."
Fu Rong nodded seriously, but seeing that her sister was not in the auditorium, she still couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Cedric and Krum looked at each other, obviously guessing what the mermaid kidnapped.
boom!
The cannon sounded and the game officially started.
Cedric, Krum, and Fleur jumped into the icy lake one after another.
Harry hurriedly took out the gill grass from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it after chewing several times while suppressing his nausea.
Gollum!
"Is it tasty?"
"It's so unpalatable, it's as disgusting as eating a dead mouse." Harry said subconsciously, but the next moment he turned around in embarrassment, and saw Aaron looking at him with a half-smile.
"Aaron, listen to me explain to you."
"No need to explain." Aaron patted him on the shoulder, "Come and meet Professor Snape with me when we go back, he should be happy to listen to your explanation.
As for now, let's get into the water!
The effect of the gill grass is only one hour. If you can't save Ron before that, I don't need to talk about the consequences! "
Hearing this, Harry's face became extremely serious, and he walked cautiously into the lake.
There was a sneering sound from the shore, and Harry immediately heard that Malfoy was laughing at him. After all, the way he ended up was not ordinary, basically no different from a landlubber among Muggles.
Although angry, he still endured it.
After all, his swimming skills are really poor, and at most he can only achieve the level of not being drowned.
Before the effect of the gill grass has not been exerted, no matter how cautious it is, it cannot be overstated.
The cold water made Harry's legs tingle, the smooth pebbles in the lake made him slip several times, and the cold February wind kept whipping his upper body, making his body tremble violently and he was full of pain. goosebumps.
But soon he felt that his mouth and nose became extremely uncomfortable, and every breath was like a knife being cut, which was extremely painful.
He subconsciously covered his throat, but he felt something strange.
Several long and narrow cracks opened and closed, like fish gills.
Harry knew the gillweed was working, and with little hesitation, he dived into the water.
The lake water is no longer cold to him, on the contrary it is very comfortable, like a spring breeze blowing on his face.
He can breathe freely underwater, and oxygen will flow into the body through the gills to meet the normal requirements of the body.
Webbing developed between his fingers and toes, which increased his speed in the water several times, and the skill of swimming seemed to come naturally.
Aaron was the only one left on the shore, and almost everyone's eyes were on him, and the smile on Adrian's face became more and more intense.
"I haven't used this magic since I learned it!" Aaron murmured, and then pretended to pull out his wand, "Water-avoiding spell."
A transparent spherical barrier enveloped him, and then slowly sank.
"What kind of magic is this? Professor Dumbledore?" Bagman asked in surprise.
"I don't know either, I haven't seen it before." Dumbledore said bluntly, and then looked at Adrian, "Miss Klein, I wonder if you can clarify for us."
"Obviously." Adrian shrugged, "This is a magic that can breathe freely underwater, and it is an advanced version of the Bubble Curse."
Several referees looked at each other, of course they could see it, but they wanted to know that it wasn't this.
What they want to know is the name of this magic, how to use it, and its effects.
But their curiosity was quickly satisfied. Adrian raised his wand, and a cyan light shot straight into the sky. Five light curtains suddenly appeared above the lake, corresponding to the five warriors.
"This is..."
"It's a bit boring to just look at the lake and wait for the results of the mermaid leader for an hour.
It's not rigorous to score like this, don't you think Professor Dumbledore? "
Dumbledore smiled, "That's right."
"I'm more curious about what kind of magic my brother will use. If he thinks that hiding under the water is safe, he really underestimates me." Adrian said proudly.
"Cedric and Fleur's heads are wrapped in a bubble, which is the bubble head spell." Bagman also explained to the audience at this time, "They actually know this spell, which allows them to breathe underwater.
Krum seems to have used a form of shapeshifting magic, turning himself into a, no... half shark.
Although only the head has become a shark, this does not prevent him from moving freely underwater, and in addition to his sharp teeth, he also frees his hands to use his wand underwater.
Harry Potter this is..."
"Gill grass." Dumbledore whispered.
"Yes, Gill Grass. This is an extremely precious herb that can make people grow fish gills and flippers in a short period of time. It is an excellent choice for people who don't know how to use underwater breathing magic."
Professor Snape's face turned livid. In Hogwarts, only his private storage room had gillweed. He felt that it was necessary to go back to the private storage room, as it might have been burglarized.
"Finally Mr. Gaius, who really impressed us on the first project, which is... OMG!"
I saw that Aaron was standing in the spherical barrier. Without any movement, the barrier moved forward automatically, as if he was acting according to his ideas.
And those lakes are completely isolated from the barrier, not only the lake water can't get in, even the swimming fish in the water can't break into the barrier at all.
"Miss Klein, I think this magic is very powerful." Percy swallowed and said, "If Gaius can contribute it, he will definitely gain an unimaginable reputation, and the Medal of Merlin First Class is not impossible .”
"You, the person in charge of recommendation and handling, will also get a corresponding promotion." Adrian chuckled, his playful eyes directly saw through the little Jiujiu in Percy's heart.
"But what I said is really worthy of consideration." Percy blushed slightly, "Many wizards who need to work underwater will definitely feel a lot easier if they know this magic."
"That's his business, it has nothing to do with me." Adrian waved his hand and said, "After the second project is completed, you can go to him to discuss it yourself."
Percy nodded helplessly. His original intention was to ask Adrian to persuade Aaron. A sentence from her sister was more useful than a hundred sentences from him.
But now it seems that he can only persuade himself. He thinks that he has some friendship with Aaron, and the success rate will definitely not be low.
If this can be done, many people in the Ministry of Magic and even the magic world will praise him more, and a promotion and salary increase will be a certainty at that time.
