Good Deeds Are Repaid

While Karkaroff looked at Madame Maxime with admiration, Madame Maxime was staring excitedly at the screen in mid-air that belonged to Phoebe, and didn't hear a word Karkaroff was saying.

Just moments ago, while everyone was focused on the Mermen Village, only Madame Maxime remained steadfastly watching Phoebe's screen.

Although they were both of Half-blood and came from different backgrounds, Madame Maxime really liked the Phoebe sisters. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Phoebe bring Gabrielle to Hogwarts.

When Madame Maxime saw that Phoebe was being entangled by a mere few Grindylow, she was furious.

Although Grindylow is indeed very agile in the water, with Phoebe's strength, she is definitely not helpless against him.

However, looking at Phoebe's pale face filled with anxiety on the screen, Madame Maxime sighed helplessly, unable to blame her beloved student.

She has been teaching Phoebe for nearly seven years. Therefore, she knows very well how much Phoebe cherishes her younger sister.

Earlier, it was she who told Phoebe that if Gabrielle could not be saved within an hour, Gabrielle's life would be in danger.

Her intention was to inspire Phoebe's fighting spirit and encourage her to perform exceptionally well. However, she inadvertently went too far, causing Phoebe to perform far below her usual standard.

If it weren't for the rules, Madame Maxime would have jumped into the Black Lake to help her beloved student.

Just now, just as Madame Maxime was beginning to consider how to comfort Phoebe after her failure, for some reason, the movements of the Grindylow suddenly slowed down considerably.

As the headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Madame Maxime's magical skills were undoubtedly considerable. At least no less than Karkaroff's.

Therefore, she could also see that someone had used Transfiguration to control the water around Grindylow, thus slowing down their movements.

Although she didn't know who had helped Phoebe or why they had done so, it was a good thing nonetheless, and Madame Maxime had no intention of telling anyone.

Even though Phoebe is now far behind the other three, successfully rescuing the hostages is still much better than being "sunk" by a few Grindylow along the way, isn't it?

Moreover, due to the special characteristics of the Phoebe bloodline, when Phoebe is troubled, especially when she encounters trouble, there are actually quite a few unknown kind-hearted people who suddenly jump out like this.

Following Madame Maxime's gaze, Karkaroff realized that she hadn't noticed what was happening in the Mermen Village at all.

"She has absolutely no sense of the bigger picture! A barbarian woman is just a barbarian woman!"

Karkaroff, feeling like he was talking to a brick wall, once again began to criticize Madame Maxime in his heart.

"Ahem! It seems the fish-men have successfully driven away the invaders. Perhaps it was just a Magical Animals? Since the hostages are alright, let's wait and see."

Dumbledore, deciding to observe the situation for the time being and not giving Karkaroff a chance to continue sowing discord, spoke up.

Although he didn't know what the attacker was, Dumbledore had to avoid interfering in the Triwizard Tournament to ensure the plan went smoothly, lest the target back down.

After all, the fact that the other party chose to create Horcrux shows just how afraid of death they are.

"Aquatic Magical Animals? What are you talking about... Well, let's see..."

Karkaroff would be a fool to believe Dumbledore's absurd excuse. But after being glanced at by the other man, he wisely chose to wait and see.

"Hmph! Wait till someone dies, then let's see what you do!"

That's right! Karkaroff's sudden change of heart was definitely not because he was afraid Dumbledore plot against him later.

Just kidding! Who is he?

He's a man who's gone head-to-head with the Dark Lord! How could he possibly be afraid of that old geezer Dumbledore?

So, he really just wanted to wait until things blew up completely before utterly crushing Dumbledore, ensuring he could never rise again! Really!

Perhaps it's a reward for Bell's good deeds? In any case, things are moving in the best direction Bell expected.

What? You're asking what good deeds or good deeds Bell usually does?

That would be an enormous amount!

This includes, but is not limited to: helping one's younger sister solve her problems, playing with one's younger sister, and helping one's girlfriend regulate her hormone levels, etc.

Oh, right! He also used to get rid of rats at Hogwarts!

As time went by, the Little Wizard gradually forgot about the unexpected incident in the Mermen Village and focused on watching the four Champion ' match again.

Many people were puzzled that no fishman had returned to the village after so much time had passed.

But the other party is a fish-man, so their way of thinking is definitely different from that of humans!

Perhaps in the fishmen's minds, it takes two hours to get back after leaving the village?

Who can say for sure?

An hour quickly passed, and Cedric and Krum had returned to shore with the hostages.

By the way, Cedric came in first place, Krum came in second.

As for the remaining two Champion, Harry was circling the four pillars in the Mermen Village, while Phoebe had already arrived outside the village and was preparing to enter.

Harry's been circling those four pillars for ages. He was supposed to be the first to arrive at the Mermen Village, but now he's fallen to third place and is still going around in circles. Doesn't he get dizzy?

Just as everyone was wondering what Harry was doing, several little girls who were underwater were also puzzled.

"Shanna, what did you do to Harry? He's been pacing around there for over ten minutes, hasn't he?"

Phyllis looked at her best friend with a puzzled expression.

Phyllis didn't know if Harry was dizzy or not. But she knew that watching him made her dizzy.

"Hmph! Who told that scoundrel not to leave quietly and insist on taking over the other hostages!"

To be honest, Shanna was quite surprised when she found out that Harry was the first to arrive at the Mermen Village.

Strictly speaking, Harry should be the weakest of the four Champion in this generation.

So what exactly are the other three weaklings doing?

No, no! They should be two weaklings!

Out of consideration for Little Gabrielle, Shanna reluctantly removed Phoebe from the weakling team.

After a slight surprise, Shanna stopped caring.

After all, she wasn't familiar with the other person, and she didn't care at all about who came in first or last.

She's not like Hermione, who's always causing trouble.
