Hope Something Happens to Cedric

Hermione, like a Merpeople, plunged into the icy lake.

She felt her body changing, as if she had gained another lung. The effects of the Gillywater Potion allowed her to breathe underwater.

However, breathing in water does not give her an advantage in speed.

She needs to reach the Merpeople village as quickly as possible, and she must also use other assistive devices.

The second competition is different from the first.

The first competition only allows the use of wands; items summoned by the Summoning Charm are also considered magical.

The second item does not prohibit the use of other items. Otherwise, Gillywater Potion and Polyjuice Potion would be prohibited.

This competition has only one requirement: rescue your baby in the shortest amount of time.

You can use Gillyweed; that will make it even faster, just like a real fish.

But relatively speaking, it's still considered slow.

In Venice, Hermione learned from William for a dozen seconds before driving a gondola and dodging countless Auror.

Hermione's greatest advantage is her superb driving skills, which even William can't match.

Therefore, she needs to make the most of this advantage.

She sank rapidly towards the bottom of the lake.

Cedric, Cho, Phoebe, and George fell into the water, and all of them simultaneously pulled out a waterproof map.

During this time, Trene repeatedly dived into the Black Lake by boat to document the path leading to the Merpeople village.

Magical Creatures roam the different areas of the lake, some dangerous, others safe and requiring no detour.

Trene wrote it down, organized it, and compiled it into a detailed map, which she then handed to William.

William then gave each of them a copy.

With this map, they will save a lot of effort. At least they won't get lost or take the wrong path, and they won't stray into forbidden areas.

For example... heading west is not an option.

There are large areas of stinging jellyfish there, and it is extremely dangerous to get caught in them.

About a mile to the northwest, there are also large numbers of octopuses, appearing in groups.

Many waterways are also home to dangerous Grindylow.

One is nothing, but an attack from all of them is still quite terrifying.

The group exchanged glances and immediately dispersed, each swimming off to different waterways.

After Malfoy fell into the lake, he immediately felt an itch on his face and scratched it vigorously.

He was startled when he touched the thick, slippery tentacles.

The tentacles were moving restlessly, and a few were even slapping his face.

It looks a bit like a cat's tail.

As we all know, cats and tails are two different things.

Malfoy straightened his tangled tentacles and, after calming down, began to think about how to get to the Merpeople tribe.

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to go. Following the earlier reminder, his most beloved treasure was actually... Pansy.

In other words, he needs to save Pansy!

That was Fart's favorite treasure; he'd rather go save Potter.

Wait a minute... Weasley's out, so Potter's going to be without a rescuer?!

Malfoy was caught in a strange struggle.

Save Pansy or save Potter... that is the question.

Hey, why think so much? You might not even be able to find the Merpeople village yourself.

Hopefully we won't encounter any monsters from the bottom of the lake.

That Christmas, Stark and Granger smashed the glass in Slytherin Dungeon... and many strange creatures swam into the common room.

After letting his mind wander, Malfoy quickly swam northwest.

For some reason, there was a sense of familiarity in that direction, a feeling that urged him on.

It seems to be saying:

Hey handsome, come play!

Krum also looked around in the water. He had transformed himself into a shark head, and breathing underwater was no problem for him.

This time, his sweetheart is his dance partner at the Yule Ball. Krum just casually invited her; he needs to rescue her.

But despite diving several times, I've never gotten close to the Merpeople tribe.

While searching for his way, he was also looking for Granger.

She has a boyfriend, but... Stark isn't here.

Krum soon developed dementia.

A small black boat emerged from the lake. Although it was called a boat, it was completely enclosed on all sides, like a submarine.

The ship rose rapidly and crashed into him.

Krum couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying.

Fortunately, he was in the water, and like a piece of duckweed, he spun around several times before finally coming to a stop.

All the Champion who had not yet found their way were stunned and bewildered, staring at the ship.

Hermione sat in the cabin, feeling as if she had bumped into something.

Well, maybe she hit a fish. She decided to have William install a rearview mirror after the race.

She turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and the boat accelerated instantly, like an arrow shot from a bow, suddenly cleaving through the lake water and crashing into a distant place.

The Champion, swept along by the current and swaying precariously, never got to see who was steering the boat.

The gondola accelerated for only a few seconds before disappearing from everyone's sight.

Krum spun around in place again, swallowing several mouthfuls of the boat's exhaust fumes, and couldn't help coughing.

What the hell is this?

He can swim over that thing?!

Are you sure you're not joking?

William opened his eyes and looked around.

They were summoned to Dumbledore's office last night and haven't returned to their dormitories.

Back in the dorm, everyone would definitely tell the Champion about the game. To prevent that from happening, everyone simply slept in their sleeping bags.

The next morning, he was awakened by Dumbledore.

First, he took Professor Snape's Gillywater Potion, and then the headmaster used magic to hypnotize him and send him to the bottom of the lake.

According to Dumbledore, there will be no security issues.

William could have woken up Dumbledore's hypnosis didn't have much of an effect on him.

However, he wanted to wait for Hermione to save her "most precious treasure" and then wake him up herself.

Unexpectedly, I was suddenly woken up. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a face.

How should I describe it?

The word "ugly" surfaced in William's mind.

ugly,

And it's particularly ugly.

So it's especially ugly!

This is the epitome of ugliness!

The face belonged to a Merpeople, who was less than 1.2 meters tall. Her skin was iron gray, and her long, dark green hair was messy and frizzy.

Her eyes were yellow, her broken teeth were also yellow, and she wore pebbles strung together with a thick rope around her neck.

"Hey, I remember you, you're Cedric's friend. Where is he?" the Merpeople asked rudely.

Okay, William remembered who this was.

--The Merpeople Mermaid.

When I saw her last year, she was wearing a small felt hat, a silver necklace, and holding a trident, looking like her female companion, Runtu.

I never expected that she would gain so much weight in just one year.

She's 1.2 meters tall and 1.2 meters wide... Despite her short stature, she could suffocate Cedric in bed.

Hmm... Is this what the Merpeople Mermaid meant by losing her appetite and not wanting to eat or drink?

"Oh, he's here too?" William asked in surprise.

"Don't play dumb with me, I already found out. Cedric is Champion, right?"

The chubby Merpeople princess clearly has an informant in the Little Wizard.

Or perhaps she had those Merpeople provide foot massages as a way to infiltrate the enemy ranks.

"Where is he? Don't tell me, or I won't let you go!" the Merpeople princess threatened fiercely.

"How should I know? I've been here this morning," William said.

"That's true." The Merpeople princess looked a little silly.

She waved her plump hand and said, "Anima, immediately have your people take Grindylow to seal off all the waterways."

"If you see Cedric, grab him immediately and bring him to my room!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The Merpeople named Anima seemed somewhat sad.

The princess is his goddess.

Now he's going to capture another male wizard and send him to his goddess's room... what a NTR!

The Merpeople Mermaid suddenly became shy, and a smile appeared on her face, as if her father had just died.

"I'm about to enjoy the pleasures of Merpeople life with Ced... After we have a child, I'll marry him."

Wait, is the order wrong?

Well, looking at the Merpeople Mermaid's hungry, love-starved expression... I hope Cedric is alright.
