After the game

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 they even reached 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, which was really not very honorable.

But the problem is that the game is not over yet, they still need to score the Hogwarts Warriors who have returned with a full load - 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 in a hurry without licking his wounds, expecting 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 painting style 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 football 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 favorite - 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 could not 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 we add points to the house, Slytherin will win the House Cup."

"It makes sense, then forget it - but I have to prepare a 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 that he doubted 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 each college in the air, and thoughtfully add colors.

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 at least save some face for other schools!

——

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

Under 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 you."

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

"Me neither."

Harry responded decisively.

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

Nancy agreed.

After hesitating for a while, Montague chose to accept the 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 Ministry of Magic staff, who only allowed two representatives 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, and the smoke that showed Montague now showed that he was moving towards the shore in a not-so-handsome posture with the help of Cedric.

'Smoke display?'

Krum was stunned for a moment, realizing that their entire battle 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 like nothing has happened...it's really despicable."

"It would be great if I had chosen him as my opponent," Krum said. "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. As 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.

"The 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 emerged from the water.

Madam Pomfrey had already 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 that I was very good, and every step he took was very powerful, as if he could stand up and hit three people.
To be continued...
