Chapter 373 Successful Return

The Grindylow group that had just been slaughtered by Hermione seemed to have gathered all the nearby Grindylows.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Hermione encountered no obstruction.

Soon, she heard a soft and sweet music. It is so beautiful, with a touch of sadness, and is accompanied by whistles and hums, like the sound of a whale, and somewhat similar to the song in the golden egg.

Hermione immediately realized that this was the mermaid's song,

It seems that the mermaid village is nearby.

She broke into a small mermaid village, and suddenly there were many rough stone dwellings all around, speckled with algae.

As she continued to go deeper, there were more and more stone dwellings around her.

From a distance, Hermione saw the square of the small mermaid village. In the center of the square stood a rough statue: a large mermaid carved from a huge stone. Six people were tightly tied to the tail of the mermaid stone statue.

All six of them seemed to be sleeping deeply, with their heads hanging limply on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters popping out of their mouths.

As Hermione continued to get closer,

The nearby mermaid guards took action one after another.

Obviously they are just the guards of the hostages and have no responsibility to stop the warriors.

Now, each one held up a shiny steel fork, surrounded Hermione in a semi-circle, and let out a series of intimidating roars. "Qiu Wu"

It seems that as an intelligent race, they have also been seriously harmed by the madness potion.

But after all, they are not crazy beasts like Grindylow.

Their actions were limited to using harpoons to intimidate Hermione from getting closer.

Facing at least dozens of mermaids, Hermione showed no intention of backing down.

She took out an octopus tentacle from a waterproof bag and threw it in front of her, then quickly waved her wand.

"[Black Tentacle]!"

The tentacle melted instantly and turned into a group of three to four meters long, elastic black tentacles.

These tentacles waved around, tying up several murloc guards holding steel forks in succession, while more guards retreated under the whipping of the tentacles.

Just when Hermione thought there was going to be a big battle, she unexpectedly saw the remaining mermaids showing frightened expressions.

They screamed, threw their weapons aside, and fled in disarray.

This made Hermione sigh in relief. It seemed that these mermaids were more afraid of wizards than he imagined.

Even though they had a moment of courage under the influence of the madness potion, after Hermione summoned the [Black Tentacle], the mermaids finally recalled the horror of being massacred by magic, and the time they were imprisoned in the protected area. humiliation.

In fact, this is the essence of the relationship between mermaids and wizards,

Don't look at the Ministry of Magic, where mermaids and centaurs dare to quarrel with wizards, openly slap the Ministry of Magic in the face, and reject the treatment of "humans" because they don't want to associate with vampires and banshees, and insist on being classified as "beasts" Sexy operation,

In fact, they only dare to show off from the wizards at this level.

Since ancient times, wizards have always looked down upon mermaids and never looked at them seriously.

Wizards and Muggles who share the same origin but cannot use magic are looked down upon, let alone those non-human races.

Otherwise, there would not be such ridiculous racist statues in the Hall of Magic.

Wizards act recklessly and brutally against non-human races,

This callous behavior has gone on for thousands of years.

It was not until later that people reluctantly placed the remaining centaurs, mermaids and other creatures in a protected area.

However, this is not because of the conscience of the wizards,

Perhaps part of the reason is that the stubborn resistance of these races finally made them feel the pain.

But most of them still feel sympathy for each other.

After the issuance of the International Statute of Secrecy, wizards gradually realized that with the development of the Muggle industry and continuous colonization, the planet was already carrying too much pressure.

They discovered that the living space of wizards and non-human races was becoming increasingly narrow due to the expansion of Muggles.

They should be in the same boat in this world.

Wizards began to realize that their common interests with these non-human races far outweighed their differences.

As a result, wizards began to change their attitude towards non-human races and gradually gave them better treatment.

However, for the mermaids, the past history full of fear and pain is still vivid in their minds.

This fear has been deeply engraved into the DNA of the mermaids, and then Hermione used a little magic to scare them away.

But it also allowed Hermione to save some energy.

She quickly approached Ginny and held the girl in her arms. With a flick of her wand, the rope around Ginny fell apart and fell to the ground.

With a princess hug, Ginny lay softly on her back in Hermione's arms, her fiery red hair hanging down from her arms, looking like she was in great shape.

Hermione looked at the other hostages around her, and her eyes stayed on Roni for a while.

Somehow, she felt that this person looked familiar.

Not because of her typical Weasley appearance, but because of her movements and demeanor, Hermione always felt like she had seen her before somewhere.

After thinking for a moment to no avail, she gave up thinking, kicked off her legs, and took Ginny directly to the lake.

It is difficult to find the mermaid village in the black lake, but it is much easier to return to the shore.

I saw the jet of water continuously helping Hermione push forward,

Even if you hold someone in your arms, it won't slow you down much.

Less than five minutes later, Hermione and Ginny's water broke.

The crowd seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. It was quiet for two seconds, and then exploded.

The time limit is one hour, and now only twenty-nine minutes have passed, and a warrior has actually completed the task.

"I knew Hermione would be the first to come out.

"Without a doubt, she is the best!"

"As expected of the chairman of our Erudou Society!"

"Merlin, it's too fast!" Bagman yelled: "With such a complex underwater environment and such dangerous enemies, I originally thought that [the warriors] would be great if they could finish the game on time. I didn't expect Granger to be so fast." ...As expected of the first place in the last round!”

The students clapped wildly, and someone from Gryffindor House shouted: "Granger!"

Soon, cheers formed on the field. Everyone yelled crazily: "Granger!"

At the referee's table, Levin took the initiative to come down and pulled the two girls out of the water before Madam Pomfrey.

Hermione was in great condition at this time, and the effect of [Heart of Flowing Water] was very good. She was still in high spirits after walking in the black lake in her semi-elemental form.

Ginny's condition was much worse,

At this time, the water drops on her wet hair were still dripping, and her face was pale without a trace of red. She was obviously frozen.

After all, under semi-elementation, the surface of Hermione's body is as cold as a real water element. Ginny staying in her arms cannot provide warmth, but will continuously absorb the heat.

This is the disadvantage of [Heart of Flowing Water].

Levin quickly took the little girl from Hermione's arms,

After feeling the boy's chest as warm as a furnace, the little girl's eyelashes trembled slightly and her body shrank into his arms.

"Sorry, I forgot about it."

Hermione also blamed herself a little, and quickly took out her wand and touched Ginny.

White gas came out of her head, and the water vapor on her body and hair disappeared without a trace...

Levin wrapped a thick blanket around Ginny, then took the girl's still cold hands, rubbed them, then opened his robe, and put those cold white hands against his warm chest. .

Soon, the girl gradually opened her bright brown eyes, "I fell in love with English at first sight.

Levin could tell a hint of surprise flashed across the girl's pale face.

His eyes met Ginny's eyes. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. Ginny turned her head and rubbed gently into the boy's warm palm.

"Thank you, Levin." The girl said subconsciously.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still around," Hermione put her hands on her hips and looked at Levin taking advantage of the little girl again, showing a trace of dissatisfaction. How did this make him the hero who saves the beauty, and I, the saver? outsider.

"Don't be fooled by this stinky man, Ginny, I was the one who brought you out of the mermaid."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Hermione, thank you for saving me from the bottom of the water." Ginny forced a smile to her, but her body shrank further into Naveen's arms.

"That's pretty much it." Hermione snorted slightly, then looked at Levin.

Levin shook his head at her: "You have it completely reversed. You should thank Ginny for being your hostage in this cold weather."

As he said that, he looked at the girl in his arms: "Right, where's the cauldron?"

Ginny smiled weakly and didn't answer.

"Yes, yes, I want to say thank you to Ginny, thank you Ginny." Hermione put her hands on her hips, curled her lips, and whispered, "You know how to fight me."

Seeing Levin still staring at her, Hermione said dissatisfied: "I've worked so hard, why don't you put a blanket on me?"

"Then wash the blanket for free?" Levin shook his head, "Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?"

Hermione, who is half water elemental, won't feel the cold at all.

She was just being coquettish when she said that.

However, Levin still fulfilled the girl's wish,

He used magic to remove Hermione's [Flowing Heart] state, and then also put a blanket on her.

After noticing the still dissatisfied look in the other person's eyes, Levin hesitated for a moment and then hugged the other person into his arms, giving her warmth with his body.

Hermione blushed immediately. She didn't expect that Levin actually did this in front of everyone.

She could already hear the boos in the audience.

But there was a hint of joy in the girl's heart.

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey also rushed over and took Ginny and Hermione from Levin's arms.

Hermione immediately came out of Levin's arms, but the little girl obviously still didn't want to leave her male god. She struggled for a while before reluctantly letting go.

Next, Madam Pomfrey forced a bottle of hot potion into their mouths.

Suddenly there was heat coming out of his ears.

She couldn't help complaining to Levin: "Dumbledore shouldn't have held this Triwizard Tournament. What if these children drowned? It's so dangerous!"

Listening to Madam Pomfrey's complaints, Levin felt helpless.

After the last game, she said the same thing when treating the warrior who was burned by the fire dragon.

In fact, Madam Pomfrey is against all dangerous sports,

If possible, she would even ban young wizards from playing Quidditch.

After watching Ginny and Hermione being taken away by Madam Pomfrey, Levin's attention returned to the playing field.
