Krum in the Crosshairs

"Oh? Sphinx." Phoebe looked calmly at the creature before her.

Its body resembles a frighteningly large lion: huge paws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair at the tip of the tail.

It has a woman's head.

To the spectators in the stands, this was undoubtedly terrifying and insidious.

Imagine, as you excitedly open the door, seemingly on the verge of victory, only to find a dangerous and Care of Magical Creatures behind it.

But Phoebe was currently wondering if Ryan would hint to Kate tonight that she should borrow the Sphinx's shadow.

Ryan is utterly infatuated with the animal-eared girl.

He had once lamented in disappointment because she couldn't grow wings.

"You know me? That's good."

"Then I won't use force to make you understand that there's only one option: answering the question." Sphinx sat on her hind legs, licked her forelegs, and said.

"Answer questions? Perfect for relaxing." Hearing that there were questions to answer, Phoebe released her wand.

The Sphinx shivered inexplicably.

But she thought it was just her imagination. "Think about what kind of person always wears a mask, acts mysteriously, and tells lies."

Tell me something else that's always patched up, in the middle, at the tail?

Finally, tell me which word you often say when you can't think of a word.

Now put them all together and answer me, what animals would you not want to kiss?

"A riddle?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "Wearing a mask, acting mysteriously, and telling lies? It's simple, he's a spy."

The middle of the middle and the end of the end are both 'd'.

When you can't think of a word, which word do you often say?

Yes. No,

The English you speak, you Britain people all use "er".

Put them together and it's "spyder," which is quite obvious—a spider.

The Sphinx smiled.

She stood up, stretched out her two front legs, and moved aside.

"Is that all?" Phoebe snorted softly, stepped out of the depression, and followed her memory toward the passage on the right.

"Harry got his third badge! He's now ranked second!"

Let's see what's wrong with Krum?

The Hippocampus was chasing Krum like a madman!

This is not normal!

"The Care of Magical Creatures would have returned to their camp if the Champion had just left them by 30 feet!" Mr. Weasley pressed his headset. "Hagrid? What's going on?"

Another crack appeared on the large screen, which was then shown to Hagrid.

"This child was just pulled from the sea this morning."

"It's not quite used to freshwater creatures yet." Hagrid answered somewhat hesitantly.

"But why is it so agitated? Is it hungry? Sharks are their food?"

"No," Hagrid took a deep breath, "The female Hippocampus is a rare Care of Magical Creatures that can get pregnant and give birth without needing a male Hippocampus."

However, they do not reproduce on their own.

Instead, it needs the 'help' of other large male fish.

Sharks, especially great white sharks, are the best choice in their eyes.

The air in the stands suddenly warmed up, and gasps of cold air rose and fell.

Mr. Weasley couldn't help but sigh, "Poor Krum."

Krum is really going crazy.

He was extremely familiar with the eyes of that Hippocampus.

That's the look that often pops into the eyes of those female admirers whose hormones are raging.

This is not an illusion.

This is not about looking at food.

Because it was so gentle with him.

He seemed like a fragile piece of porcelain, and one was afraid of breaking him.

That's why he's still safe and sound.

Because with the speed and reflexes of the Hippocampus, it should have caught him long ago.

When he resisted just now, all the lightning-fast spells he cast were dodged by it.

Imagine, with such reaction speed and agility, how could they not catch him?

Even more outrageous is that he's swimming way too far now.

The rock that used to be inlaid with Durmstrang's emblem is no longer visible.

If they could escape the pursuit of the Hippocampus, relying on their noses to sniff would take a lot of time.

What Krum didn't know was that he had done more than just waste time.

Meanwhile, with the Giant Squid Kraken still petrified, they quickly obtained the Beauxbatons Badge. As they emerged from the cave, Ilvas witnessed Krum, now a shark, being chased by a horse- Hippocampus.

Ilvas easily identified the shark as Krum.

The Hippocampus is Care of Magical Creatures that protects the emblem.

They even found the approximate location of the badge from the route they swam.

So, when everyone couldn't help but look at Krum's screen, and even ignored Ilvas,

He has already obtained the Durmstrang Badge, guarded by the Hippocampus.

"My Merlin! I didn't see that wrong, did I?! Ilvas has already got three badges!"

How did he subdue Kraken?

Also, how did he find the badge without the guidance of the Care of Magical Creatures guarding it?

"Replay!" exclaimed Mr. Weasley.

The screen in Ilvas started playing back.

The entire video showed the bewildered look on Ilvas's face when he saw the petrified Kraken.

And the astonishment of seeing Krum and the Hippocampus chasing each other as soon as they emerged from the cave.

And finally, there's the surprise of seeing no one guarding the badge.

Seeing this, the students of Castelobruxo, who had just been standing tall and making waves, lowered their heads and fell silent.

Mr. Weasley was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "This is too dramatic!"

Meanwhile, Harry, who had successfully obtained the badge from the Merpeople, was heading towards the cave with the guidance of his water friends.

"What's wrong?" Harry suddenly 'thought'.

Just now, the water friend that had been propelling him forward suddenly stopped.

"Dangerous? What is it? It just stood still. Because of that woman who controls everything."

Another person took a badge.

It has also resumed operation.

It had a huge body, ten arms, and dark red skin."Harry analyzed the information coming from his water friend.

After a moment of contemplation, it dawned on him, "That Giant Squid!"

It's not dangerous. It's just a game.

"Could you just secretly roll the badge out of the cave?"

Thus, in the eyes of other viewers on the screen.

Harry abruptly stopped for three minutes, then suddenly sped up and swam toward the cave.

Finally, they stopped outside the cave.

It remained motionless, like a corpse.

Why isn't Harry blinking? Aren't his eyes dry?

"This is creepy." Hannah leaned against Neville's chest under some pretext, looking frightened.

"He's in the water. How could his eyes be dry?" Neville scoffed, looking at Harry's screen with even more seriousness. "But why is Harry standing outside?"

Wasn't Kraken petrified?

Why doesn't he just go in and take the badge, just like Ilvas did?

That completes his collection of badges.

"I have three pieces of Ilvas now."
