Chapter 336 Silver Wing Potter
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the stands. Everyone suddenly had a strange idea: they wanted Belvina to be in charge of commentating on the Quidditch matches for the next school year.
Of course, it would be even better if he could commentate with Lee Jordan.
However, the students' idea was destined to fail, and Professor McGonagall would certainly not agree to it.
Lee Jordan alone is enough to send Professor McGonagall's blood pressure soaring; if you add Belvina to that list, Professor McGonagall's head is bound to explode.
"We finally see Mr. Krum on screen! He's turned into a shark—" Belvina said, "No, half a shark!"
In the image displayed on the giant screen, only Krum's upper body had turned into a shark, while his lower body remained human, making his swim trunks stand out prominently.
"Mr. Potter has appeared too!" Belvina continued. "If I'm not mistaken, he's not only grown gills, but also webbed feet!"
Somewhere in the stands, a professor with a sallow complexion suddenly turned gloomy.
As Belvina continued her rambling commentary, the four warriors dived deeper and deeper, causing the image on the screen to blur.
Clear water is shallow, while dark water is deep; this is why the Great Lake at Hogwarts is called the Black Lake.
Sunlight could not penetrate the lake water, making the light in the lake extremely poor. The four warriors had no choice but to swim around in the dark water, unable to find their way at all.
The image transmitted back through the swimming goggles and displayed on the screen was the same; the screen was filled with dark, eerie lake water, and the gloomy underwater world evoked an indescribable sense of dread.
Everything in the lake became eerie and terrifying; the floating green water plants resembled the flowing hair of water ghosts, and the fish swimming in the distance looked like monsters hiding in the darkness.
"Grindelwald!"
Someone recognized the little monster that had suddenly appeared on the curtain.
Grindelwald is a green water monster with horns that usually feeds on fish but sometimes attacks humans.
A gasp rippled through the stands as Grindelwald's figure appeared almost simultaneously on Harry and Fleur's curtains; they had been attacked.
"It's Grindylow!" Belvina shouted. "Porter and Delacour were ambushed by Grindylow in the seaweed. Can they escape?"
In the scene displayed on the screen, Harry and Fleur were both entangled by Grindylows, who used their long fingers to tightly grip the warrior's calves and ankles, forcefully dragging him into the dense seaweed.
Harry remained calm despite being attacked by Grindelwald, immediately drawing his wand and aiming it at the green sea monster that was dragging him.
But as Harry drew his wand, more Grindelwalds swam toward him and attacked him.
Amid gasps from the audience, Harry's wand shot out jets of water, each one created by the Extraction Charm striking one of the charging Grindylows.
Harry quickly broke free from the group of Grindylows, and as he swam forward, he punched and kicked the pursuing Grindylows.
After a powerful, brick-throwing, wild punch, Greendylo, his face bruised and swollen, gave up the pursuit and disappeared back into the lush seaweed.
Harry escaped unharmed, but Fleur suffered terribly as she couldn't shake off Grindelwald's clutches.
Greendillo, who was ambushing Hibiscus, also grabbed her ankle with his long fingers, trying to drag her into the thick seaweed.
Furong reacted incredibly quickly; she used all her strength to stomp and swing her legs, and soon shook off Greendylo, who was wrapped around her feet.
But when more Grindylows swarmed in, Fleur became flustered. Her extraction spells weren't accurate enough, and she wasn't strong enough to help herself break free.
Gradually, Hibiscus's lack of adaptability became apparent. She couldn't figure out how to deal with the troubles hanging on her body, and she was even more powerless to deal with the ever-growing number of Greendylos.
Under Grindelho's onslaught, the exhausted Furong was defeated and dragged into a large patch of seaweed by the united Grindelho.
"Hibiscus! Hibiscus Delacour! Danger!" Belvina exclaimed. "She's been entangled with Grindelwald and can't break free!"
The gasps from the stands grew louder and louder, and everyone held their breath for Furong, who was in danger.
Mrs. Maxim stood up abruptly, her large hands clenched into fists, and she anxiously looked at the dark lake.
At this moment, Mrs. Maxim had no intention of blaming Fleur; all she felt was worry and hesitation. She was concerned about Fleur's safety and was debating whether to abstain on her behalf.
Time passed second by second, but no miracle occurred. Exhausted, Hibiscus was still unable to break free from Greendillo's grasp and escape from the dense seaweed.
"Save them! Save them first!" Mrs. Maxim shouted. "We surrender!"
After some hesitation, Mrs. Maxim made a difficult decision: she decided to forfeit Furong's participation in the match.
"Unfortunately, for the safety of our warriors, we have to forcibly terminate Miss Fleur Delacour's second project," Belvina announced clearly and loudly.
Immediately, a chorus of regrets erupted from the packed stands; forcibly ending the match meant that Furong had lost her second event.
But more than losing the second event, many people felt that life was more important. They anxiously watched the curtain over Furong's body, praying that she could escape danger underwater as soon as possible.
However, Fleur ultimately failed to escape Grindelwald's clutches on her own.
Three Ministry of Magic employees with Bubble Charms appeared at the bottom of the lake. They quickly located Fleur's position and used a Dispel Charm to disperse the swarm of Grindylows.
Next, two employees, one on each side, lifted the exhausted lotus from the water plants, allowing it to rise to the surface. The remaining employee lagged behind.
Their responsibility was to cover the retreat of the rescue team and prevent Grindelwald from pursuing them.
Before long, two Ministry of Magic employees brought Fleur to the surface and escorted her to the shore, where she was handed over to Madam Pomfrey, who was waiting there.
Fleur, who had been besieged by Greendillo, was already covered in wounds, with scratches of varying depths all over her body. There were also several clear bite marks on her body, the deepest of which was even oozing blood.
A round of applause broke out from the stands, a gesture of consolation. Although Furong had performed poorly and had to withdraw from the competition, the audience did not hold back their applause.
Mrs. Maxim ran to the shore immediately, carefully examined Furong's injuries, and repeatedly asked about her condition.
On the referee's bench, covered with a golden tablecloth, Karkarov couldn't help but smile, secretly relieved that Krum had one less competitor.
Barty Crouch remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the Ministry of Magic employee who had rescued Fleur.
The three Ministry of Magic employees responded very quickly, as if they had known all along that Fleur would be in trouble, as if they had been by Fleur's side the whole time.
Barty Crouch looked away and then at Belvina, who was sitting to his right.
Clearly, this is another of Belvina's tricks, another highly targeted arrangement following the watch and swimming goggles.
There were three Ministry of Magic staff members accompanying Fleur Delacour; how many more accompanied Harry Potter?
After being trapped, Fleur returned to the safe shore and received treatment from Madam Pomfrey, the audience's attention was finally turned back to the other three warriors.
It was only then that everyone noticed that Harry, who had just been playing with Grindelwald, had actually found the mermaid village! He was the first hero to find mermaids!
Through special swimming goggles produced by the Bureau of Mysteries, the audience in the stands saw many rough stone dwellings, as well as mermaids that inhabited the Black Lake.
Instantly, a wave of lamentation erupted from the stands: Why are the mermaids of Black Lake different from what we imagined!
The cruel reality ruthlessly shattered the beautiful illusion; the mermaids living at the bottom of the Black Lake were really not good-looking at all, and had nothing to do with the word "beauty".
The Black Lake Mermaids have iron-gray skin, long and messy dark green hair, yellow eyes, and yellow, incomplete teeth.
Ugly, very ugly, extremely ugly, the mermaids living in the Black Lake are so ugly that it's hard to look at them directly.
"Mr. Potter seems to have had an argument with the mermaid, which is very irrational. What he should do now is rescue his baby."
Quickly return to the surface.
The thunderous narration echoed across the dark lake, and some viewers who had closed their eyes because of the mermaid's ugliness opened their eyes a crack.
In the small square of the mermaid village, four people were tightly bound to a mermaid statue. The four were Ron, Hermione, Cho Chang, and a very young girl.
At that moment, Harry was standing to the side, trying to snatch the spear from the mermaid's hand.
After failing to steal it, Harry tried to negotiate with the mermaid to borrow her spear, but was refused again.
Left with no other option, Harry picked up a stone and hurled it at the straw rope binding Ron.
Between Ron and Hermione, Harry decisively chose his good friend Ron without the slightest hesitation—how should I put it, he was very loyal!
After finally managing to break free of the straw ropes binding Ron, Harry immediately swam towards Hermione, hoping to rescue his other good friend.
Upon seeing this, the tall and mighty merfolk immediately surrounded him, and several pairs of strong hands grabbed Harry and threw him away.
“That won’t do. A hero can only rescue one hostage. Mr. Potter is being a bit greedy,” Belvina said. “Now that he has rescued Mr. Weasley, he can’t go and rescue Miss Granger as well.”
Looking at Harry, who was still foolishly negotiating with the mermaid on the screen, Belvina couldn't help but sigh. She really didn't know what to say.
Harry had already rescued Ron, and all he had to do was bring Ron to the surface, making first place a certainty. But Harry refused to leave the Mermaid Village, insisting on rescuing Hermione before he would give up.
Based on what Belvina knows about Harry over the past four years, this silly boy must have taken the clue about the golden egg seriously and thought that the mermaid would harm Hermione, who hadn't been rescued.
Moreover, this silly boy is incredibly stubborn; once he gets determined, he's as headstrong as a mule, and no one can persuade him otherwise.
In this situation, besides the unfamiliar "Silver Wing," Belvina couldn't think of any other words.
