From Azkaban To Hogwarts

As Krum was knocked over under the water, the referee's seat suddenly became deserted.

That’s not to say you can’t lose—but it’s too embarrassing to lose like this…

Not to mention that most of them were killed before reaching the venue. In the subsequent duel, they were actually hung up and beaten by Hogwarts students.

The only match that Furong won was against Meng Tai, who had exhausted his physical strength and magic power. It was really not a very honorable match.

But the problem is, the game is not over yet, they still need to score the Hogwarts Warriors who have returned home - this is really not a pleasant job.

In particular, before the students returned, the students of Hogwarts had already celebrated their victory in advance, which made the warriors and students of other schools more like a backdrop.

There is no way, there is no suspense in the game anymore - according to the previous settings, the last section should be a scramble for the return journey. The warriors who struggled to find the target in the dark used their exhausted bodies in the difficult duel. Return as soon as possible to get higher scores for your home school.

The winner had no intention of celebrating, fearing that he had spent too much time on the previous trip. The loser got up with difficulty and turned back without caring to lick his wounds, hoping to be faster and regain the points lost in the duel. .

It should be like this, tense and exciting, speed and strength are both indispensable, and they are both important components of performance.

But now, the style of the painting is completely wrong... The expected tension and the possible shocking comeback due to the high-speed swimming and reaching the shore early have completely disappeared.

"They seemed to be doing so beautifully..."

After William finished speaking, he lit the popcorn, let it fly into his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

"Cedric is great!"

Adams shook William's shoulders happily, and the happiness on his face could not be suppressed at all, "He defeated Krum directly!"

'I'm a star, not a fighting champion... You can't say that your food is more delicious than Professor Flitwick, even if you beat the dueling champion...'

William rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.

Cedric and Krum's dish - ahem, the exciting battle brought the curtain down on the underwater battle, and the fight was very lively and full of spectacle.

And Cedric does seem to be able to improvise on the spot, which is quite commendable.

"He totally deserves fifteen points for the academy!"

Adams' happiness cannot be vented all at once.

"But it's a pity, there's no class now, right?"

William clicked to let the popcorn float in the air, and spread his left hand, "Besides, think about it, if it adds points to the house, Slytherin will win the House Cup."

"It makes sense, then forget it - but I have to prepare a good gift for him, he is really great!"

After hearing that Slytherin would win the Academy Cup with a huge advantage, Adams stopped talking about extra points and instead thought about how to give Cedric a reward.

William did not bother him, but turned to look at the students - the professor was so happy, and he was a little doubtful whether those children would overturn the place.

as expected.

The students of the four colleges could no longer sit still. The wands drew all kinds of beautiful patterns in the air, and ribbons and the like were flying in the air until now.

I don't know which students who are particularly good at transfiguration have already begun to use their wands to draw the emblems and decorations of various colleges in the air, and even color them thoughtfully.

They didn't even know what they used to create the banner. The students at the front directly stretched it out. Several people started working at the same time, quickly drawing dynamic patterns on it - this scene of celebration made William confused for a moment. What should I say? You can save some face for other schools!

——

"I feel like I can't swim anymore..."

Under the water, the Hogwarts Warriors formed a group to return, Montague said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The Black Lake in February was not a suitable place for swimming. His physical strength had been very high before, and he was chased and beaten by Furong at the bottom of the lake. At this moment, he felt that the strength in his arms and legs was gradually disappearing.

"How about I hold you?"

Cedric's face was full of sincerity - if Montague hadn't laid such a good foundation, he would never have dared to risk losing points and concentrate on fighting with Krum.

"No, it's too ugly."

Montague decisively refused. It was imperfect enough that he failed in his plan and was eliminated by Fleur. But if Cedric was dragged in again, the image would be...

"It's okay. You can swim by yourself when we're almost ashore. I won't tell anyone."

Cedric really wanted to do something, and he also knew what Montague was worried about.

"I do not know either."

Harry responded decisively.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone else."

Nancy agreed.

After hesitating for a while, Montague chose to accept help - he got down before going ashore and pretended to swim back... He was really too tired...

"Hey, the Montagu player is exhausted? But this is normal. No one can maintain his condition after such an exciting ambush and surprise attack."

On the shore, Bagman, one of the few people who cannot celebrate victory wantonly, is still dutifully explaining the live broadcast.

"Krum is in the lead at the moment. He seems to be interested in recovering his points from the game time, but the two Beauxbatons players are firmly behind him and are unwilling to give up the one with the highest bonus points. Give up your place."

"Although the Ilvermorny player fought hard to catch up, he seemed a little panicked and seemed to have not yet awakened from the shadow of the duel..."

"Our warrior team is still adjusting and helping each other. The team atmosphere is extremely good. Player Montague is floating towards the water with the help of player Cedric - ah, Krum is almost reaching the finish line!"

The shark's head emerged from the water. Durmstrang's students left their positions and tried to surround them, but most of them were blocked by the staff of the Ministry of Magic, and only two representatives were allowed to come over.

The thick blanket that had been prepared long ago was handed over, and Krum was quickly taken to the fire, waiting for the referee team to score.

"Well done to you. Those guys at Hogwarts are so well prepared."

Two student representatives stood beside the fire with him, "Especially that Meng Tai. He attacked most of the people at the cost of giving up the duel. They even thought of intercepting them halfway - you see, that Meng Tai You are so exhausted!"

The child who spoke pointed to the smoke in the distance. The smoke that showed Montague now showed that he was moving towards the shore in a not-so-cool manner with the help of Cedric.

‘Smoke display? ’

Krum was stunned for a moment, realizing that the entire battle between them was being broadcast live...

"Wait a minute - you said he attacked most of them?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could he be so tired - he still pretends as if nothing has happened...it's really despicable."

"It would be great if I chose him as my opponent," Krum said, rarely speaking more. "Fleur won effortlessly..."

"Fortunately, no, that kid drugged us... There seems to be something wrong with the information we got about the gillyweed. The guys from Hogwarts set a trap for us before the game. Once we faced them, we drugged them and knocked them down. …”

"That's right, I asked them. While I was swimming, I felt the water suddenly became sweeter, and then I suddenly fainted and fell unconscious. When I opened my eyes again, I was in the medical tent..."

The two of them talked about the game situation, which made Krum suddenly afraid - if he was so heavily dosed by the magic potion that he fell unconscious on the water...

At this moment, Bagman's amplified voice came in at an inappropriate time.

"Two contestants from Beauxbatons have arrived!"

As soon as he interrupted him, Krum quickly shook his head, "Let's go see the eliminated people first. I need to know what the students at Hogwarts have done."

——

"There's still a little bit left, come on, Montague."

The sky can already be seen from the bottom of the water, and Harry and the others are cheering Montague on.

Nearly an hour of swimming in low temperatures made them all exhausted, but Mengtai was the most serious one.

But since he planned to go ashore by himself, no one had any objections, and they exchanged glances and decided to let him get out of the water first to enjoy the cheers of the others.

It was not an easy decision to make, but it was worth it.

While they were waiting, Montague struggled to the surface - at that moment, the cheers passed directly through the thick water curtain and the obstruction of the Bubble Curse, and entered their ears.

The three of them looked at each other and surfaced.

Madam Pomfrey had arrived with heavy blankets and potions.

'So ugly...'

Harry cursed and started looking for it in the stands. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and he was unsuccessful.

And to be honest, although everyone was celebrating and cheering, Harry always felt that something was wrong - but he couldn't find any malicious intent.

This caused his efficiency in finding people to be even slower, and he would not gain anything for a while.

He originally wanted to look for it again, but the heavy blanket had already wrapped him tightly, and then, a bottle of extremely spicy potion was poured directly into his mouth.

He was reluctantly brought to the fire with the other warriors and began to wait for the judges to score.

Meng Tai was already a little unsteady on his feet, but he still tried his best to pretend to be very good. Every step he took was very powerful, as if he could stand up and hit three people.

After finally moving to the fire, he sat down with relief, but he forced himself not to find something to lean on. He even turned his head from time to time and raised his arms with great effort in response to the cheers from the Slytherin stands. Voice.

'The decorations made by Slytherins are actually pretty good...'

For the first time, Harry looked at Slytherin's decorations with such calmness - of course, this did not affect his feeling that the decorations of his own house were the best, especially the lifelike lion, which couldn't be better.

Wait!

Harry finally realized something was wrong - the cheers and banners were okay, but those college logos drawn in the void were definitely made on site. If this was done before the game was over, how could the professors agree?

He has now completely turned his attention from looking for people to observing the site. At this moment, those huge fires are still spitting out silvery white mist, and the clouds are quite beautiful.

But when Harry had doubts, his original idea that this was just decoration disappeared instantly.

'Could it be...'

He suddenly had a bold guess - those fires were props used to observe underwater conditions, right?

Otherwise, it would make no sense for so many people to be able to draw the celebration decorations in advance after waiting up there for so long.

'Hey...if you can see underwater...'

He couldn't help but recall whether he had done anything embarrassing underwater - it was simply too...

After a while, Harry finally made sure in his nervousness that he had not done anything stupid because others could not see it, but then he thought of Montague...

At this moment, Tai Meng still faced the Slytherin students with an attitude of "I am strong and I can do it again"...

'Ruined…'

Harry didn't dare to think about it anymore...he was afraid that Monty would plunge into the black lake now.

He didn't even dare to say this - let Meng Tai think about it slowly. After all, apart from pretending not to be exhausted, Meng Tai didn't do anything too embarrassing...

——

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision."

Bagman's voice once again filled the audience, "After understanding the underwater situation, we decided to use a scoring system of 15 points for arrival at the venue, 20 points for the duel, and 15 points for the total time out of 50 points. Score points for all the warriors.”

"Dan Kane, the champion of Ilvermorny, scored five points for diving, zero points for dueling, and zero points for total time, for a total of five points..."

…

The three eliminated warriors among the four warriors scored a total of fourteen points, while the only warrior who was not eliminated scored twenty-one points. The warrior team scored a total of thirty-five points in the second event.

This is an extremely tragic score - if the Warriors are eliminated in the first stage, forget about the remaining scores. The remaining Warriors alone have much higher scores than the other three...

"Victor Krum, the warrior of Durmstrang, took fifteen minutes for diving and ten points for dueling. The total time was fifteen minutes, totaling forty minutes."

"The Warriors of Durmstrang..."

"..."

The remaining three scored a combined sixteen points, with Durmstrang scoring a combined fifty-six points.

"The Beauxbatons champion Fleur Delacour, 10 points for diving and 20 points for dueling, with a total time of 13 points, for a total of 43 points."

"The Champions of Beauxbatons..."

…

The remaining two warriors received twelve points, and the girl who went with Fleur but was defeated received thirty-one points.

As long as they are not eliminated, they win. They are significantly ahead of the other players.

"Next up is Hogwarts Warriors!"

Bagman's voice was already a little hoarse with excitement.

"Harry Potter, the Champion of Hogwarts, scored five points for diving, twenty points for dueling, and a total time of eight minutes, for a total of thirty-three points."

The results were not very high, but Harry smiled happily - the team competition was based on the total score, and the individual scores were nothing more than a cloud.

"Hogwarts Champion Nancy Wallen,..., thirty-three points in total."

"Cedric Diggory, Champion of Hogwarts,..., thirty-three points in total."

Their total score has surpassed the other schools by a large margin.

"Hogwarts Champion, Graham Montague, diving...uh, five points..."

Bagman paused, "Although I know this seems a bit unfair, we do count according to time...the duel, um, three points...the same reason...the total time is eight minutes...the total is sixteen points."

"Hey guys, looks like I'm lagging behind."

Montague was happily warming himself by the fire and joking, but Harry was silent. Bagman's words and silence both explained the problem... The game was watched throughout...
