The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Cedric's approach alarmed the mermaids in the settlement. They swam out of their stone dwellings and looked maliciously at Cedric, the uninvited guest.

Looking at the spears in the hands of the mermaids and their thick and powerful arms and fish tails, Cedric smacked his mouth. He was now somewhat glad that these mermaids were not hostile forces.

Even though they only had spears, Cedric wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth if they were to fight.

Cedric carefully observed the world of mermaids and found that they were fundamentally different from the magical animals he had seen before. Other magical animals, even if they are as powerful as a fire dragon or as sacred as a unicorn, do not have such a detailed social division of labor.

In Cedric's eyes, the mermaids already looked like primitive tribes. They had their own style of architecture and raised other magical animals as their hunting assistants - some houses would have a Grindylow tied in front of the door, and Obvious distinction between status and wealth.

Some dwellings are just a simple stone shell. Some have a Grindylow in front of the door and a garden full of aquatic plants around it. Generally speaking, the closer to the inside, the more "luxurious" the mermaid's house is, and the stronger the mermaid inside is.

Cedric faintly heard the singing, and he understood that the mermaid was letting him pass by singing, so he swam towards the singing, which was the center of the mermaid village.

Along the way, more and more mermaids appeared, looking at this strange guest curiously. For mermaids, wizards are also rare creatures that can only be seen in a hundred years.

There were so many merfolk that Cedric couldn't even count them. Just looking at this number, and taking into account their social structure that is ahead of their peers, Cedric has determined a fact: the mermaids are the well-deserved underwater overlords.

The sky and land in the magical world belong to wizards, while the water below belongs to mermaids.

He also noticed that all the mermaids who appeared here were males.

Maybe female mermaids are prettier! The idea suddenly popped into his head.

There was a small square in the center of the mermaid village. There, Cedric saw a huge mermaid stone sculpture. On the tail of the stone sculpture, three people were tied: Tom, Qiu Zhang and Luna.

There is a large group of mermaids singing in unison around the statue.

The three hostages were sleeping, with strings of thin blisters popping out of their mouths.

The potion that Professor McGonagall poured into them allowed them to breathe freely underwater, as if they were back in their mother's belly.

Cedric spit out a string of bubbles, took out a knife from his pocket, and cut off the rope of water plants tied to Qiu Zhang.

After rescuing Cho Chang, Cedric suddenly had an idea: If he took away the most important "treasures" of the other warriors, wouldn't they be able to complete their mission?

"No, you can only take your own hostage." A seven-foot-tall mermaid stopped him and used the spear in his hand to persuade Cedric to give up his bold idea.

"Okay." Cedric was not an iron-headed boy. After finding that there was no loophole to exploit, he immediately brought Qiu Zhang up to the surface.

Next, he must return to the water as quickly as possible to preserve more remaining time and achieve a higher score.

About ten minutes after Cedric left, Krum came to the mermaid village with a shark head on his head.

His speed is amazing.

In fact, Krum wasted far less time than Cedric in the wooden building. After he recklessly passed through Madame Maxime's test, he rushed into the third floor with a murderous aura. He was lucky and soon discovered something strange on the sundial. Then he used exactly the same idea to blow up the tree roots and passed Dumbledore's test.

Dumbledore had nothing to say to these little wizards who didn't play by the rules.

After arriving at the mermaid village, Krum took some time to bring Luna back, just seven minutes behind Cedric.

In the end, Cedric finished the race in one hour and fifty-three minutes, while Krum took a full two hours.

When the two of them were rubbing their bodies on the shore, they saw Fleur running out of the wooden building in a hurry. She had passed through three levels of checkpoints so hard that Cedric and Krum were finished before she could. Just solved the challenge in the wooden building.

However, what pleased Dumbledore was that Fleur understood his intention perfectly, found the various mechanisms he left behind, and used the correct ideas to complete the challenge.

Seeing the two people wiping themselves on the shore, Furong's heart froze. But she had no time to waste, Fleur bit the bullet and ate the gillyweed, then plunged into the lake.

With the help of Gillweed, Furong was much faster than the other two warriors. But when she saw Tom Yoder sleeping at the bottom of the lake, Fleur broke her guard.

She confirmed to the mermaid leader over and over again that this was her mission goal. It was only after asking the mermaid that she had no choice but to confirm the fact: the organizer of the competition really thought that her baby was Tom.

At least she didn't have to let her sister soak at the bottom of the lake. Fleur comforted herself and brought Tom back to the shore.

The final score was no surprise, with Cedric taking the shortest time and achieving the highest score. But the point difference between him and Klum did not widen - Krum's clean performance behind was so brilliant, which allowed him to score a high score of 60 points, only 7 points behind Cedric.

Including the remaining points between the two, Cedric is still first with 75 points, and Krum has 70 points, ranking second with a 5-point disadvantage.

Furong is even worse. Even though Dumbledore gave her a perfect score, she only got 45 points in the second event, which brought her total score to only 47 points...

It can be seen that the champion of the Triwizard Tournament seems to have nothing to do with her.

The second event narrowed the gap between Cedric and Krum, and also created a bit of suspense about the outcome between the two.

After the scores of the three warriors were read out, the second project was about to come to an end.

"The last project will be held on the evening of June 24th. This time the warriors will be informed of the specific content of the project in advance. Thank you all for your support and love for the warriors. See you in June!" In Bagman's high-spirited speech In the sound, the second event of the Triwizard Tournament came to an end.

"Would you like some hot drinks?" Hermione walked over to the shivering Tom and thrust a small kettle into his hand.

"Thank you." Although he was wiped dry as soon as he came up, Tom still felt uncomfortable after soaking in the ice water for three hours. He couldn't wait to open the hot kettle and found that it was filled with cinnamon wine.

This is a very unique drink, which is made by heating cinnamon powder and red wine together. It has the effect of repelling cold and is very suitable for people with colds. Although the taste is a bit weird, it is just right for Tom now.
