"Krum's shark transformation, he also proposed to cooperate with other schools--" Karkaroff said impatiently.

"I have to remind you, Karkaroff," Bagman said sharply, "there were two people who proposed the cooperation. Krum from Durmstrang found Ilvermorny, and Diggory from Hogwarts contacted Beauxbatons and Uagardo."

"But Krum was the first person that came to mind, wasn't he?" Karkaroff said tactfully.

"That's true, but his two teammates were caught by mermaids. He was alone and weak. What else could he do if he didn't cooperate..."

Dumbledore nodded slightly and said calmly: "At least we can confirm one thing. The two warriors each proposed a suggestion for cooperation, which is the behavior we advocate. They deserve extra points."

"Potter's idea of ​​taming the colorful fish is good..."

"It is indeed entertaining, but it should not be considered a bonus."

"Why not?"

"Gentlemen, our competition is not about whose approach is better, but the precious qualities they show in the process."

"Isn't it worth promoting unconventional ideas?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the referees put this issue aside temporarily. Felix asked: "Who was the first to collect all the golden gems? I was underwater at the time and couldn't see clearly."

Bagman immediately said: "It was Potter. He had a huge advantage in the early stage. When others had only collected two or three, he found five. He and Krum are both very good ball seekers with amazing dynamic vision. Krum's only difference is that he moves a little slower. He relies entirely on his two legs to swim..."

"Granger is ranked second, almost on par with Potter. Miss Granger discovered the secret of the level layout and is very efficient."

"This is worthy of our suspicion. Maybe someone cheated." Karkaroff said.

"Forget about it," Bagman said angrily, "She cracked the blue level faster than anyone else. She's good at it, you can't deny that!"

"Let's move on," Dumbledore reminded happily, "By the way, Miss Granger is indeed very smart, and her attainments in some subjects are not inferior to those graduates."

The referees continued to discuss -

"Ilvermorny got the most alchemical items, and they used the water tornado magic together to buy enough time -"

"Then Potter's patronus is also crucial."

"Vagado's gesture casting is very unique, and the final Animagus-like transformation took everyone out of the mermaid camp."

"Yes, it also broke two pillars, causing the mermaids to be furious."

"But it is undeniable that the effect is very obvious..."

"Everyone, you forgot one thing," Madame Maxime pursed her lips and said, "There are only two teams of warriors whose warriors were not captured by mermaids throughout the whole process. One of them is Beauxbatons, and as the captain, Fleur resolutely accepted the invitation to rescue people. Her spirit is worthy of praise."

"Madame Maxime," Karkaroff said sternly, "Miss Delacour's spirit is indeed worthy of praise, but the other two warriors were not captured because they moved too slowly... just a little faster than the last one, and coincidentally, they all escaped the pursuit of the mermaids."

"What do you mean?" Madame Maxime said coldly, "At least Jacqueline and Francois have collected seven gems, but someone in Durmstrang didn't even get out of the protective shield."

"Bwek is not qualified to be a warrior at all. I hope he can be replaced." Karkaroff said with disgust. Several headmasters looked at him in shock. He said with a straight face, "I was just joking. Can we really replace him?" "

That's hard to say."

Felix looked up at the sky and murmured, "Anything can happen." The sky today was particularly blue, as if it had been washed by water. Karkaroff glared at him fiercely, and the air was a little awkward for a while.

Perhaps even Karkaroff himself thought that if the rules really allowed it, he would not mind replacing him.

Felix began to ponder his own magic book. With the continuous filling and expansion, it has become more and more perfect, and some wonderful changes are taking place, as if it has its own will.

It stores a large number of magic words and magic power inside, just like a real magic world. Hundreds of changes are happening every minute and every second. These changes make the magic book move towards a more and more stable trend and constantly improve itself.

He had to slow down. Before he figured out every change, he didn't dare to put the book directly in the thinking room. If it exploded, the magic power accumulated inside was no joke.

Moreover, he also got a lot of inspiration from it. Every once in a while, new magic words would appear spontaneously.

"Felix?" Dumbledore asked softly. He didn't know when he stood beside him and looked at the clear sky with Felix.

"Don't you need to join the discussion?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "Bagman seems more active than me, and what I want to say is that the performance of the two groups of warriors at Hogwarts is good enough to pretend not to see..."

It took a long time for the judges to reach a limited consensus. Fudge looked at the time and said, "It's pointless to argue any further. Let's start scoring."

No one objected. Bagman added, "Based on the last scoring process, we have added a new scoring rule: if the scores given by a referee are too different and cannot convince everyone, we will consider canceling the controversial score."

Karkaroff glanced at him coldly, but he did not object. Some advantages can only be taken once.

After a while, Ludo Bagman's amplified voice sounded again, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have considered many factors and decided to use the following three points as the main evaluation content: the number of people who walked out of the protective shield, the number of golden gems obtained, and whether they were taken hostage. We will also give appropriate points for some outstanding performances. We will give scores to each group of warriors based on the full score of 70."

"Group 1, Warriors: Cedric Diggory, Collins Foley, Roger Davis. A total of three people walked out of the protective shield, two of whom collected seven golden gems, and one was attacked by mermaid guards after collecting five gems and was taken hostage. Their outstanding performances during the competition include: making full use of ice bombs and assisting in casting to increase their range; accurately finding the mermaid camp and actively contacting other schools for cooperation. After comprehensive evaluation, we give them 59 points."

There was applause from the stands. Collins looked up and remained silent. Cedric and Roger whispered to comfort her.

"I should have been more careful." She said depressedly.

"The second group, the warriors: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. A total of three people walked out of the protective shield, collected all seven golden gems, and none of them became hostages, and were the first to finish the game. The outstanding performances include: taming the colorful ball fish; discovering the distribution pattern of the levels, discovering the construction pattern of the levels, and assisting other teams when no one became a hostage. We give them 67 points."

"Great!" said Harry, Ron and Hermione. Hermione was still wearing her blanket, surrounded by deafening applause and whistles. She poked Harry and Ron in the ribs, motioning them to look at Collins.

"It's not a big deal, she's a bit stubborn," Ron muttered, "I mean, if you're unlucky and run into a large group of mermaids when you go out, you won't be able to do anything..." "

The third group, the members of the Uagadou Warriors: Nona Lebert, Lashawn Elifendi, and Panagiota Brandziego. Three of them walked out of the protective shield, two of them collected the golden gems, and one collected five gems and then encountered mermaids and became hostages. The outstanding performances include: showing amazing silent and wandless spells, defeating a large number of Grindylows, attacking the mermaid camp with superb human body transformation, and successfully escaping with the cooperation of others. We give them 60 points."

"Just one point short, they performed about the same as Cedric's group." Ron said, "But that African elephant is really eye-catching, Collins should use Transfiguration more often, just in case..." He was suddenly stuck, because Collins was staring at him, looking at him puzzled.

"Stop talking." Hermione stepped on him in frustration.

"But I'm speaking for her..." Ron said with great grievance.

"The fourth group of Durmstrang members: Viktor Krum, Ors Polyarco, and Adim Burwick. Two of them walked out of the protective shield, and one failed and became a hostage; of the remaining two, one successfully collected seven gems, and the other collected four gems and was captured by the mermaid. The outstanding performances include: Captain Krum ranked third in the order to get seven gems, and after failing to rescue his teammates for the first time, he proposed to cooperate with the warriors of Ilvermorny to use large-scale sonic magic to interfere with the mermaid's control over Grindylow. We give them 50 points."

Krum and his two teammates accepted the applause expressionlessly.

"The fifth group of Beauxbatons: Fleur Delacour, Jacqueline Bourgeois, François Lafontaine. Three of them walked out of the protective shield, three of them collected seven golden gems, and no one became a hostage. Their outstanding performances include: cleverly using the level props to escape the Grindylow ambush, using the confusion magic to mislead the behavior of ten mermaids when the mermaids were dispatched, actively joining the rescue team, and causing chaos in the mermaid tribe. We give them 62 points."

Fleur hugged her teammates together. Their current score ranked an astonishing second.

"The sixth group of Ilvermorny members: Byers Bach, Victor Percival Graves, Ann Lunn. Two of them walked out of the protective shield, one failed and became a hostage; two of them collected seven gems. Their outstanding performances include: passing the most purple levels and obtaining a large number of temporary magic items; creating chaos in the mermaid tribe; after escaping from the mermaid tribe, the three warriors cast a waterspout to prevent the mermaid guards from chasing. We give them 50 points."

"The third and final project will take place on the evening of June 24th," Bagman continued. "The warriors will learn the specific content of the project one month in advance. Thank you all for your support to the warriors. And thank you to Future World for its support of the second project."

The audience was stunned for a moment and continued to applaud enthusiastically. Ron shouted in the warm wind, "I bet Bagman must have received advertising fees from Professor Hepp!"

Harry couldn't agree more. He clapped his hands hard and cheered with everyone. It was over... He thought, three months of long preparation, and the third project would be in four months. He had enough time... Then he was surrounded by ecstasy. He, Ron and Hermione got first place. This was incredible, but there was no doubt that they had the highest score among the six teams...

Maybe they needed to convert it. Harry thought of the previous rules. His head was dizzy and he didn't want to think at all. Anyway, Hermione would tell him in the end... What he had to do now was...

"Carnival! Carnival!"

The students shouted loudly, waving their arms and venting their excited emotions.
