Hogwarts Homecoming

Hermione took one last look at Krum, who was suffering from Cabba's harassment, and turned to leave.

She was originally grateful for the help Krum gave them on last year's Quidditch final night, but since he slandered Professor Blaine as an admirer of Grindelwald, she no longer has a good impression of him.

Moreover, according to the rules of the game, she shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Finding Harry and Ron is the most important thing.

But Hermione frowned and stayed there for almost a minute. Finally, she sighed heavily and turned her head back.

Just think of it as repaying the help on Quidditch final night - Hermione said to herself and raised her wand.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind my own business if I were you."

The sudden sound made Hermione almost think she was hallucinating. She suddenly became alert and looked at a cluster of coral not far away from her. On the intricate and colorful branches, a blurry light and shadow was sitting. Then watch the show.

"Myrtle!"

Hermione wanted to shout, but then she realized that she had better not make any noise, lest she startle the fighting Krum and Cabba, so she huddled behind the rocks and waved to Myrtle desperately.

In such a gloomy and depressing environment, it is undoubtedly gratifying to see an 'old friend'. Hermione suppressed her excitement and whispered to Myrtle who floated lazily over,

"Why are you here, Myrtle?"

"Oh, that annoying freshman broke into my bathroom and flushed me into the sewer. That happens all the time!"

Myrtle held her face and said melancholy, but in a flash, she became excited again, looked at the Kaaba and said,

"Sometimes, ghosts can see more things than living people. That Kappa, it is... Oh, I can't say, I should learn to keep secrets, not to mention that he obviously wants to help Hogwarts .”

"What are you talking about, Myrtle?" Hermione frowned.

But Myrtle didn't respond to her question. She let out an ethereal sigh,

"If you want to find those two silly boys, maybe you can try there. I won't go with you. I don't really like those mermaids. Every time I get close, they come running to chase me."

After saying that, Myrtle tossed her head and disappeared from Hermione's sight.

"baffling!"

Hermione said a little annoyed, but still remembered the direction Myrtle pointed.

On the other side, Krum has been exhausted by Kabbah's harassment. It no longer tries to break out, but stays in place, opening its terrifying and somewhat funny shark mouth and panting, with despair in its yellow eyes. It seems that he has accepted his fate.

Hermione pursed her lips and pointed at the uneven rocky ground at the bottom of the lake. After the inconspicuous light, a stone full of holes turned into an emerald green cucumber.

"Hey!"

When Hermione jumped out from behind the rock with a cucumber, Krum and Cabba were stunned. They didn't expect Hermione to be so close to them.

After getting over the initial shock, Krum fell into ecstasy. He subconsciously wanted to swim towards Hermione, but as soon as he stepped into the water twice, Krum realized that this move would most likely spread the trouble. To Hermione.

Krum, who had a shark head, couldn't speak. He spit out a bunch of bubbles and waved anxiously to Hermione, telling her to leave quickly.

"Try this!"

Hermione shouted loudly, but the bubbles and thick lake water that enveloped her head made her voice muffled, "Write your name on the cucumber and throw it to the Kaaba. Maybe it will give up pestering you!"

With that said, Hermione used the Taming Curse to control the cucumber turned from the stone to penetrate the lake water and fly into Krum's hand accurately.

Looking at the green cucumber in his hand, Krum was stunned for several seconds, and then he kicked his feet in frustration.

When encountering a creature like Kabbah, this is indeed the 'standard way' to get rid of it. This is something that should have been exposed in the third grade, but due to the passage of time, he completely forgot about it!

"Hey, look at this, it's ugly!"

Krum shouted in his heart, and he used all his strength to smash the cucumber with his name hastily written on it at Kabbah. Only when the tumbling cucumber hit his head did the Kabbalah come back to his senses, and withdrew it and aimed at Hermione. Sight.

Kaba subconsciously picked up the cucumber, glanced at it blankly, and then looked at the two little wizards who were waiting for him. Very human emotions appeared in his bright black eyes in the dark lake.

Gulu!

A big bubble popped up from Kabba's nose. After glaring at Hermione helplessly, Kabba swung his webbed limbs, stirring up white water splashes like arrows, and quickly disappeared to the bottom of the lake with its cucumber.

When the monster's figure disappeared from his eyes, Krum was completely paralyzed. He let his body fall freely to the bottom of the lake, sitting cross-legged on the rugged rocks and gasping for air.

"I know you're tired, but I'm afraid we don't have much time to lose,"

Hermione hurried to Krum's side and held his arm.

"Less than half an hour left."

Hermione's hair undulated slightly with the undulating water, and the close-fitting t-shirt made the contours of her upper body look uneven. Perhaps because of the shark's keen sense of smell, Krum could smell the dizzying smell from the girl in front of him. Smell the aroma, not to mention, the fish tail with light blue scales and the tail fin with light colors are so tempting in front of men!

"you go first!"

But Krum quickly got rid of Hermione's 'fatal temptation'. He looked at her with extremely grateful eyes and gestured to Hermione,

"I need to rest."

The meaning of the second half of the sentence was more complicated to use gestures. After struggling to understand it, Hermione hesitated for a moment, but she finally chose to pull Krum's arm and pull him up from the ground.

"drag!"

The anxious Krum even made a muffled sound with his shark mouth, and he broke away from Hermione's support.

"I can't keep up, you go first, time!"

Looking at Krum's resolute attitude, Hermione pursed her lips. She knew that there was really no time to delay here any longer.

"Leave as soon as possible, that Kabbah may come back!"

After leaving these words, Hermione glanced at Krum worriedly, swung her tail fin, and left quickly in the direction pointed out to her by Myrtle.

There was no way to judge the time accurately, but Hermione felt that she had swam for at least another twenty minutes, and now it was probably only about ten minutes before the prescribed time for the competition.

Below the water where she appeared now was a large expanse of black silt. The lake water had turned into dark vortexes due to her stirring, and the vague singing voice that finally sounded in her ears finally made her heart so anxious that it was about to explode. My heart was somewhat comforted.

A group of Grindylows appeared among the water plants bordering the mud and rocks, but judging from the sluggish posture of these Grindylows, they had obviously been cleaned up, so when they tried to attack those passing above them, Hermione was overwhelmed by a large series of bubbles created by Hermione who suddenly accelerated the flapping of the fish's tail. By the time they got rid of the bubbles, the girl was already far away from them.

Hermione wanted to stop and admire the mermaid village that usually appeared in her field of vision. This was a rare sight, but it seemed like there was a wall clock in her head that kept ticking. She could only swim faster. Reduce that annoying voice.

Therefore, when she discovered the four wooden pillars surrounded by a large group of mermaids, a feeling of fatigue in her soul almost made her fall asleep, but she knew that she could not, she had to bring Harry and Ron back to the surface. .

The menacing mermaids with spears did not attack her, which made Hermione relieved. However, when she saw that Qiu Zhang was missing from the four wooden pillars, she felt a thump in her heart.

Cedric has succeeded, he took Cho Chang away!

Realizing this, Hermione was both happy that Hogwarts had won the first place again, but also a little worried that she might be falling a little behind.

But Hermione quickly put these distracting thoughts behind her mind. She swam hard and quickly approached the two livid faces. The moment her fingertips touched them, a bright green light suddenly hit them. Flooded the stunned Hermione's vision
