Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"He said he had something to talk to me about yesterday, but he never showed up. I had to wait for him on the attic terrace next to the Ravenclaw common room for three hours, and was exposed to the cold wind all night."

Daphne felt like she was about to explode with anger. Draco actually dared to stand her up. She was going to teach him a lesson today.

"If any of you see him today, you must tell him that he is dead."

"Draco? What does he want from you?"

Pansy, who was Daphne's best friend, asked curiously.

"You still want to find out about Astoria. You all know about the Christmas Eve dance. I wanted to say a few good words for him in front of Astoria, but forget it now."

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but Daphne got even angrier when I did.

"Oh, poor Draco, let's all mourn for him."

Pansy sighed, looking like she was enjoying the fun.

However, this situation did not last long, and they soon changed the subject.

"What method do you think Mr. Dursley will use to win today? It's a pity that the time of the first game is really unlucky. Otherwise, I would have to witness Mr. Dursley defeat four fire dragons alone. Oh, then It must have been a fascinating scene.”

"Like he did at the Christmas Eve dance?"

"I envy Miss Granger."

"."

"Do you know what the game is about? I heard it has something to do with water."

"I don't know. My family hasn't gotten the specifics, but it looks like they're going to dive."

"Look, here come Mr. Dursley and Mr. Potter!"

The young wizards pointed to the contestant platform on the other side of the Black Lake and said.

On the other side, four warriors came on stage one after another. For the other three, it was their first time standing in front of the audience.

He won countless cheers as soon as he appeared.

Many wizards who had never seen them looked at them curiously.

"The sound is loud."

Bagman, the host, stood up again and introduced the four warriors around him to the audience with extremely exaggerated body movements.

This is what should have been done in the first competition.

“I think the audience has already formed a preliminary impression of our players, so how will they perform in the next game? Let’s wait and see.”

After saying that, Bagman looked towards the referee's bench and signaled to the referees whether they could officially begin.

Dumbledore sat upright, smiled and nodded. Lucius still had that expression as if everyone owed him thousands of Galleons. Ms. Maxime looked a little unnatural and kept looking towards the audience as if she was looking for something. Karkaroff seemed to be in a good mood today. His originally pale face was rarely rosy, and he showed his big gold teeth from time to time.

"As soon as I blow the whistle, the second event will begin. Our contestants have a full hour to take back what has been snatched from them."

Only then did Bagman explain to the audience the official content of the second game - to search for the stolen things in the fishman tribe under the Black Lake.

"Next. I'll count to three."

"one two three!"

He dragged out the sound of the word two, and when he shouted three, a shrill whistle echoed in the cold, still air, and a loud cheer and applause broke out in the stands of the audience.

The first person to go into the water was Furong. She touched her head with the magic wand, forming a huge bubble.

This was one of the few ways Harry found to get underwater - the Head Bubble Charm.

In order to make up for the zero score in the first game, she needs to race against time this time.

The second person to jump into the water was Victor. Of course, he was not unprepared, as his body deformed the moment he entered the water.

After a while, a humanoid creature with shark features appeared in the water and then swam forward at an extremely fast speed.

Although the very advanced Transfiguration spell is not an Animagus, it can achieve a similar effect, but it is unclear how long the effect lasts.

Harry exclaimed in admiration. Viktor's approach was something he had never thought of.

After that.

Harry turned his gaze towards Dudley.

Dudley smiled and motioned for him to go first, while Harry motioned for Dudley to go first, as he wanted to know how Dudley would get through this.

A headbubble? A transfiguration? Gillyweed? A potion?

Seeing Harry's firm attitude, Dudley was no longer polite and dived into the lake. Before Harry could react, he surpassed Fleur and Viktor in an instant like a sharp arrow and disappeared into the bottom of the lake.

'It seems like you didn't use any magic. Or maybe you used it but didn't notice it?'

Thinking of Dudley swimming around the Black Lake every few days,

"As expected of Brother D."

Harry admired in his heart, then took out a bottle of potion from his pocket - underwater breathing.

This was something he cooked himself in a week.

Although Harry's Potions skills were not as good as Dudley's, Snape could not find much fault with them.

Of course, his talent in poisons far exceeds others.

For example, the Living Hell Potion (Water of Life and Death) created by him was used as a model by Snape.

After drinking the potion, Harry followed Dudley's footsteps and jumped into the water.

The lake water in February was freezing cold and the surroundings were pitch black, but with the effect of the underwater breathing potion, the scene became slightly clearer.

Fortunately, the temperature of the lake water was still within Harry's tolerable range at that time. Although his swimming speed was not as fast as Dudley, it was still among the best among ordinary people. In just a few breaths, he surpassed Fleur, who was the first to enter the water.

Yes, Fleur was the first one to enter the water but she had already been overtaken by Viktor, and now she was overtaken by Harry. As for Dudley, she didn't even know when she was overtaken by the other party.

To be honest, the Head Bubble Spell is not a very good method. Although this spell ensures breathing, the movement speed still depends on the user himself. If the user's swimming speed is not fast, it will not be of much significance. It is not as practical as Viktor's Transfiguration Spell. After all, there is a certain bonus to the swimming speed after the transformation.

The key point is that the head bubble has a fatal flaw: it has weak defensiveness and can be easily punctured.

Once the head bubble is destroyed, the outcome will not be good.

Underwater breathing can make up for this shortcoming very well.

Furong's choice was a very bad one.

Chapter 307: Water gorilla? No, it's a water monkey

After passing through a jungle of black water plants, Harry saw a wide, flat square made of shiny pebbles, with things like rotten wood or dense, tangled water plants floating around.

Harry sneered and stopped moving forward.

It is understandable that there are water plants at the bottom of the lake, but how could there be rotten wood floating at the bottom of the water?

That thing is either floating on the water or sinking to the bottom.

Harry naturally knew what he had encountered. It was the gathering place of the dark magic creatures, Grindylows (water devils with horns and light green bodies), which he had learned about in Professor Lupin's class in the third grade. The shiny pebbles were used by them to attract humans or fish, and those things floating around were their bodies. Once approached, they would be attacked.

Harry was ready for a fight. It was said that magical creatures like Grindylows would be tamed by mermaids and used for guarding purposes. If Grindylows were nearby, it meant that the mermaid tribe was nearby.

The fastest way is to go through from the front.

After all, no one knows how wide the range of activities of these Grindylows is.

Just as Harry was about to act, the Grindylows around the square took action before him.

“%&……%&!”

A series of meaningless cries were heard, and the Grindylows that had been disguised as wood and water plants revealed their true forms. They didn't even look at Harry, and fled in all directions without looking back, fearing that they would be eaten by something terrible if they swam too slowly.

"There's something!"

Soon Harry also sensed the movement of the water around him, and something was moving towards this side at high speed.

Harry clenched his wand tightly. Any creature that could cause such panic in so many Grindylows must be at least plural Kaba (kappa) or something like a Kappa.

Soon, Harry saw a huge black shadow approaching at a very fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Harry.

Harry:.

He silently put down the wand in his hand.

The shadow did not attack Harry, but threw something at the fleeing Grindylow.

With a flash of white light, many Grindylows disappeared.

Gululu.

The shadow seemed to be speaking to Harry, but only a burst of bubbles came out.

But Harry nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Didn't you go to the front a long time ago?"

After taking the underwater breathing potion, Harry can speak normally. Although I don’t know the principle, it’s amazing.

"Gulu (It's not easy to find such an opportunity to catch magical creatures at will)"

The shadow shrugged, and another burst of bubbles came out of his mouth: "Gululululu (I just caught a really big one)"

Yes, the true identity of this shadow is Dudley.

Maybe for other contestants, the Black Lake is like a huge underwater maze with unknown dangers everywhere, but for Dudley it is just like his own backyard and he knows exactly what is there.

A few more bubbles came out of Dudley's mouth. It was as if his lungs had turned into an unfathomable oxygen tank, storing an inexhaustible supply of oxygen.

A normal person would have rolled his eyes due to lack of oxygen after diving for so long and constantly blowing bubbles, but Dudley seemed to have just dived into the water.

Just as Harry was about to say something, Dudley spoke again.

"Gugulu (The group of mermaids are chasing me, I'm leaving first)"

Without giving Harry a chance to speak, he kicked his legs and turned into a sharp arrow in the water again, disappearing at the end in a flash.

It was a long time after Dudley left that Harry saw several mermaids holding spears swimming over.

The leading merman was about seven feet tall, with a long green beard and a short necklace made of shark teeth. He swam over to Harry as soon as he saw him.

He first spoke to Harry in a gibberish, but when he saw that Harry still looked confused, he started speaking in a way that Harry could understand.

"Hey, wizards who participated in human games, you saw one. A general."

The mermaid thought for a moment and then drew a huge circle towards Harry.

"A gorilla this big? He stole many of our pets and even took away our 'Anuma'."

Harry:? ? ?

Before Harry could figure out the situation, someone from the mermaid side spoke up again: "No, Chief, that's not an ape, that's a monkey!"

"Nonsense, there is no monkey that big, it's clearly an orangutan."

The chief seemed to hold fast to his opinion.

"Orangutans can't dive!"

The other person also seemed to be sticking to his opinion.

The last mermaid seemed to understand a little more. He said, "It's the water monkey, the most mysterious underwater creature in that eastern country."

After listening for a long time, Harry finally seemed to understand. They seemed to be looking for Brother D?

"Excuse me. Where is the person you took away? I think I should leave now."

Harry decided that he couldn't stay here and waste any more time.

"Oh, by the way, you're still holding competitions."

The mermaids seemed to have realized what was happening, so they pointed to the gravel road in front of them and said, "They are in the square over there. Don't tell them that we told you. According to the rules with Dumbledore, we can't help you."

Mermaids seem to be easy to communicate with, and in fact they are. If you know the language of mermaids or they are willing to communicate with you, they are essentially not much different from normal people, and are even easier to communicate with than humans.

"Thank you!"

Harry thanked them very politely and then swam quickly towards the location the mermaids had directed.

Soon he came to a place full of stone dwellings (buildings built of stone). There were some mermaid faces in the dark windows. It was obvious that this was a mermaid village.
