Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

There is a mermaid village under the Black Lake? !

Harry was very surprised, for he remembered having read in a book that most mermaids disliked human wizards and would choose places where there were few people. He had thought there might be one or two mermaids in the Black Lake, but he had not expected there to be so many.

Then he saw a not very large square in the center of the village. On the square stood a giant mermaid carved out of a huge stone, and on the tail of the mermaid statue, four people were tied tightly?

The person tied in the middle was a little girl with silver hair. Harry had seen her at the Christmas ball. She was Fleur's sister, Gabrielle Delacour. However, this little girl was no longer as lively as she was at the ball. Her face was blue and she looked lifeless.

To her left was a Durmstrang student whom Harry also knew as Viktor's partner at the Christmas Eve dance.

Then Harry looked at the third bound creature.

The cat at home hasn't eaten much and hasn't been clingy since it was neutered. Does anyone know why?

Please take a day off. The cat is not doing well.

It was fine yesterday, but when I got home today I found it lying on the ground with no strength. It even fell when it got up. I sent it to the veterinary hospital for a check-up and everything was normal. I had checked it when it was on a hunger strike before, and they said there was poop in its intestines and food residue in its stomach, so it was eating secretly, so I thought there should be no problem.

Now they say it may be because they feel hurt (sterilized), which makes them feel bad.

It's so sad. I have raised the kitten Maotou for several years, from a small one to the size of half a pig. Now it is lying on the ground dying.

Chapter 308 You shouldn't be here, you should be at the bottom of the lake

It was a ginger, flat-faced kitten.

Harry was very familiar with this. Wasn't this Crookshanks?

It seems that this should be Dudley's mission goal.

It fits Dudley's style very well.

It's understandable if you think about it. With his understanding of Dudley, it would be strange that he would agree to let Hermione be tied up underwater. His brother D is not someone who can be persuaded or compromised by the needs of the competition. If he could be persuaded so easily, then he is not Dudley.

If Hermione can't be found, use something that Hermione cherishes as a replacement. The thing Hermione cherishes the most is naturally Dudley, but the problem is that Dudley is a contestant, he can't tie himself up, so the next best thing is naturally Hermione's beloved pet - Crookshanks.

However, Harry didn't know that even Crookshanks's people from the Ministry of Magic had to work very hard and sent out four or five people to catch it.

Harry turned his gaze to the last tied person, his face full of complicated expressions.

Because he is

"Ron, why are you here?"

In the audience, Neville, who was sitting with Luna, was looking at Ron in shock as he and Lavender were watching the game together.

"What's wrong? Can't I be here?" Ron looked at Neville in confusion and asked weakly, "Can't I pay to watch Harry and the others' game?"

"I have finished all my classes for today, and I am almost done with my paper."

"No, that's not what I meant." Neville shook his head and looked towards the Black Lake with a complicated look: "If you are here, then who is there?"

It was obvious that Neville was better informed than Ron. At least he knew what the competition was about.

"Neville, what are you talking about? What's this and that?"

After hearing what Neville said, Ron was even more confused.

"I shouldn't be here. Where should I be? Tell me!"

Neville sighed, "You should be at the bottom of the lake."

Ron:? ? ?

'I'm supposed to be at the bottom of the lake? Neville, have I offended you?'

Under Harry's complicated sight, the last tied person appeared in front of him

A striking platinum blond hair. Draco.

Maybe it was because he had been soaked in water for too long, but Draco's face was paler than ever.

After Harry eliminated the first three possibilities through the process of elimination, the last one, even if it is impossible, is still the truth.

Since it was impossible for Dudley to be a hostage, he originally thought it would be Ginny or Ron, but he never expected it would be Draco.

You can't say that the most important person to Viktor or Fleur is Draco, right?

None of them socialize much.

As for Crookshanks, he is himself. Draco is Dudley.

This situation cannot exist.

With mixed feelings, Harry took out his wand and touched the rope that bound Draco's body, and it immediately loosened him.

Just as Harry was about to leave carrying Draco's body, he heard shouts from the group of mermaids.

"Water monkey! The water monkey is coming!"

Harry:? ! !

'Brother D?'

A dark shadow rushed to the huge mermaid statue again. It was indeed Dudley. Without even saying hello to Harry, he quickly broke the rope that bound him, and swam towards the shore holding Crookshanks between two fingers.

By the time the group of mermaids caught up with him, Dudley had already successfully reached shore.

There is no sloppiness at all.

Then he sensed a slight ripple in the water, and Viktor, who had transformed into a half-man, half-shark, came to the side of the Durmstrang female student.

Harry didn't think any more at this time. He grabbed Draco's body and prepared to float to the surface, but he saw Gabrielle out of the corner of his eye. Fleur was still nowhere to be found.

There were only a few minutes left before an hour.

After hesitating for a long time, Harry finally untied the rope on Gabriel and floated to the surface with Viktor.

Harry is not a cruel person.

"Look, all our warriors have made it ashore!"

As soon as I emerged, I heard Bagman's unique voice.

Fleur was actually the first warrior to reach the shore, not because she completed the task the fastest, but because she failed. When she was looking for the right position, she was attacked by a group of Grindylows.

If Harry hadn't brought Gabrielle to shore, she would have been rescued by other staff members of the Ministry of Magic.

Others were already waiting, but no one expected Harry to bring along a target that didn't belong to him.

The accident in the last Triwizard Tournament caused considerable losses to the three schools, so when the activity was restarted this time, the Ministry of Magic was asked to assist. The Ministry of Magic was also counting on this project to make money for them, so naturally they had to ensure the safety of the young wizards.

Fleur's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She hugged her sister tightly and kept thanking Harry, completely losing her previous arrogance.

"Okay, everyone, now that our warriors have finished the competition, let me announce the scores of the contestants in this competition."

Bagman looked very excited. Yes, the second game earned him a lot of Galleons again.

"Fleur Delacour. 20 points."

Sparse applause broke out. The 20 points were purely consolation points. Strictly speaking, 20 points should not be given. It was just a casual gesture since the mission had failed.

After all, Furong got zero points in the first game, so it would be inappropriate not to give any points at all in the second game.

"Viktor Krum, excellent Transfiguration spell. Successfully completed the task with 41 points!"

"And then there is our Mr. Potter."

When mentioning Harry, Bagman obviously treated him differently and used honorifics directly, but fortunately no one's attention was focused on this.

"Although his excellent potion skills were a little late to Viktor, he not only saved his most cherished companion, but also saved his opponent's. This noble moral demeanor earned him a full 47 points!"

This time, the cheers from the audience were not perfunctory at all, and the entire stadium was echoing.

"Finally. Our Mr. Dursley!"

When they reached the place where everyone was paying the most attention, Bagman deliberately lowered his voice. In fact, he was trying hard to restrain his laughter.

"A very perfect spell, very swift movements, and most importantly, he completed his task perfectly, for which he gets 50 points!"

After Bagman's announcement, there was no applause at first. The whole audience was silent and everyone looked at each other, as if they had heard it wrong.

Fifty points. What does fifty points mean? There are five judges in total, and all of them have to give full marks, which means that all five judges have to be very satisfied with Dudley's approach so that he can get fifty points.

Winning the game with full marks is a unique event in all the previous Top Three Tournaments.

When has the Triwizard Tournament ever been scored fairly?

Chapter 309 Magic Exchange and Sharing Seminar

After a brief silence, the cheers that broke out almost overturned the entire competition venue. Even the mermaids at the bottom of the black lake seemed to be frightened and they all drilled into the stone snails.

"What kind of spell did that Dursley use to be so powerful that he won the game in such a short time."

"I thought it was the effect of some kind of potion, but I didn't expect it to be a spell? Does anyone of you know?"

"I didn't see it, I think it should be a very powerful spell."

"He is the legendary Dragon King, so of course the magic he uses is not simple."

The audience was also guessing how Dudley won the competition, and there were many different opinions.

"But I feel like he's really swimming."

"Look, this is why your grades are so bad. Let me tell you."

"."

Occasionally, some people who sensed the truth would be made to lose confidence by their companions.

In the referee's seat, Dumbledore looked cheerful, and he had had this expression since the beginning of the day.

Ms. Maxim sighed. She knew that the warriors from her school had no hope. The gap between the two sides was not small.

Bagman smiled even more happily, because Dudley won with a perfect score, so he could win against many people who bet on the score. Although he would lose some money from those who bet on Dudley to win, the odds were extremely low and he couldn't pay much, so overall he would definitely make a profit, and it was not a small profit.

Lucius glanced at Karkaroff without leaving any trace.

This Karkarov would actually give someone a full score. Based on Lucius's understanding of Karkarov, something must have happened between the two of them that he didn't know about.

Lucius looked at Dudley in the field, then glanced at Karkaroff who looked a little frightened, and nodded thoughtfully.

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 6th. Mr. Fudge, the Minister of Magic, will also be present."

Bagman continued to announce with excitement on his face. If you didn't know him, you would think he was happy about the successful holding of the Triwizard Tournament.

"The warriors from the three schools will be informed of the specific content of the project one month in advance. Thank you for your continued support for the warriors."

The current scores of the four warriors are as follows: Dudley crushed the other contestants with a total score of 96 and an average of 48 points, followed by Harry with a total score of 47 and an average of 23.5 points, ranking second. Then Viktor scored a total of 41 and an average of 20.5 points, ranking third. Finally, Fleur scored a total of 20 and an average of 10 points, ranking last.

Judging from the current points, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that Dali will win.

Bagman, who had made a small fortune, had a twinkle in his eye. He was seriously considering whether to start the bet on the third game. The risk was higher than the previous two. Unless Dudley could get an unexpected score like in the second game, or lose the game out of nowhere, it would be difficult for him to make a huge profit like he did now.

The next day, the Daily Poison & Antidote reported the latest content of the Triwizard Tournament, and unsurprisingly, it was a big seller again. At the beginning of March, the Daily Poison & Antidote received an invitation from the most influential international magazine in the wizarding world, International Wizarding Weekly, to cooperate on a project.

Biographies of the Triwizard Tournament contestants.

Look at the fame of the contestants in this Triwizard Tournament.

Dursley, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class

The legendary 'boy who lived' - Potter.

Viktor, the rising star of the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team.

And the other wizard - Fleur.

Along with the publication of International Wizarding Weekly, the news that Dudley was the inventor (improver) of the 'Restoring Humanoid Spell' was also revealed and made public. Unsurprisingly, this made him famous once again. Now he has been named the most influential and promising underage wizard of the year by International Wizarding Weekly.

Defense Against the Dark Arts

"What are you doing here?"

Moody, who was teaching, looked at the guy who suddenly broke into the classroom. His face suddenly darkened. He looked a little crazy and his tone was full of threats that were difficult to conceal. He shouted at the other person: "Get out, this is not the place you should be."

"Moody, I don't think you should speak to me in that tone."
