Chapter 232 Accelerating the process
Amid the cheers, only Jian Yu belatedly realized that something was wrong.
How did she inexplicably become the first place?
Did she just row a small boat because she didn't want to go swimming in winter too early?
She just used some "heat quick" in the Black Lake to make the water a little warmer?
How did it become that she conquered the mermaid?
How did it become her communicating with the mermaid?
How did he become a mermaid and obey her orders?
She cast a confused look at the other warriors. Krum and Cedric looked disappointed. Fleur and her sister hugged each other tightly...
As for Harry Potter, he was trying to adapt to his own human feet, hands and nose, with no trace of failure on his face.
He even breathed in the fresh and sweet land air with great intoxication, as if the air in Hogwarts was some luxury.
Jian Yu closed his eyes sadly, not wanting to even look at this protagonist who had no fighting spirit.
But Fleur was not happy to let her close her eyes.
Perhaps because of her part-Veela bloodline, her emotions were particularly rich and sensitive. After a long time, she was still unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.
She pulled Gabrielle to her and kissed her on both cheeks.
"The mermen and grindylows attacked me and were particularly vicious to me - I tried to break in and save Gabrielle - but -"
She revealed her entire train of thought in one breath, even ignoring the group of brave warriors around her:
"I'm sorry! I thought... but you are more qualified to participate in the competition than anyone else! You saved Gabrielle, even if they are not your treasures-"
"No wonder I hear Hogwarts students supporting you everywhere I go - no wonder they want to fight and pretend to be dance partners - I'm sorry! I was wrong!"
Furong, who was overly excited and spoke out loud, quickly covered her mouth.
"I just heard—what I was saying—"
But Jian Yu, who was shot innocently, had already revealed an indescribable expression, and Harry, who was involved in the fight, started working with his human toes.
Her straightforward words immediately swept over the two warriors...and of course the precious Ron and Hermione who were so embarrassed that they closed their eyes.
"I just have a pretty good instinct about guys - I wasn't asking - sorry I got so excited -"
Furong was so anxious that she became incoherent. Realizing that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make and the more she explained, the worse it would get, she finally decided to shut up.
Fortunately, Bagman came over after announcing the results of the game and saved Furong, who wanted to bury her head in the Black Lake.
"Okay!" he continued, "Everyone cheer up, there's a third task!"
He flipped through the calendar and showed a distressed expression:
"The last project will be brought forward to next month—"
"Why?" All the warriors except Harry and Jian Yu asked, "Isn't this too fast?"
"Uh..." Bagman choked oddly, "All three headmasters have suggested that we speed up the process."
He gave a nervous laugh and headed towards the Quidditch pitch with the Warriors.
"In a month, a maze will be built here," Bagman introduced. "It will have different obstacles. The first person to pass the obstacles and touch the trophy in the maze will win. Of course, Miss Jane, as the current first place, will be the first to enter the maze."
"Of course, these obstacles may be somewhat dangerous. If you get into trouble after a certain period of time, you can send out red sparks to get rescued."
Jian Yu understood immediately.
She just needs to enter the maze, wait for a while, and emit some red sparks, and someone will take her out.
Hopefully Harry can give it a try, like he should, and take the trophy.
As she was thinking this in her mind, Harry's voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Jade, can you come with me for a moment?"
Jian Yu followed him out of the stadium and walked towards the sparsely populated forbidden forest, only to find Sirius, who had turned into a dog, there. He was wet all over, as if he had just been in the water, with his two paws resting on the fence.
Seeing the two people coming, he wagged his tail happily, trotted in front of them and led them deeper into the forbidden forest, then he changed back.
"That's amazing! So awesome! I saw you taming the mermaids!" He was the first to congratulate Jian Yu. "I was guarding by the lake shore and even swam a little inside to ensure your safety, but those mermaids actually jumped out of the water! They even brought everyone up! It was spectacular!"
He grinned, showing his neat teeth:
"Harry! You did a great job! You thought of something like Gillyweed—"
"Uh--" Harry explained awkwardly, "It was Jade who came up with the idea. She gave me the gillyweed. Otherwise I would have drowned in the Black Lake."
"Oh - I see." Sirius was not embarrassed at all. He sighed at Harry's tired appearance, "Harry, I think I have to find time to teach you how to swim! You can't even swim in such a small black lake, this -"
Jian Yu felt that the words "This child is in very weak health" were clearly engraved in his eyes.
Harry noticed this as well and his toes started working again and his face turned red.
"Thinking back to the time when I swam across half of the North Sea from Azkaban back to England!" Sirius said proudly, "Of course, I still want to praise your beautiful friendship of helping each other -"
"Yes, it's a beautiful friendship." A cold and low voice sounded. Jian Yu didn't need to turn around to know that it was his own dean. "It's so beautiful that my storage cabinet is empty. First it was the African tree snake skin, and then the gilly grass. I can't help but applaud your friendship."
Jian Yu showed an innocent look.
She has discovered a magical law -
Whenever Sirius came to see her furtively, her head of house would track him down as if by scent.
But wasn't Gillywort the remaining medicinal ingredient that Snape asked her to take away when she was making the potion?
It seems that the main problem is that Harry has grown gills and webbed feet.
Snape glared at her fiercely, and his eyes fully confirmed her guess:
"I regret to inform you, Blake, that you will once again be required to pay compensation for your godson's actions."
He pulled out a bill and threw it in Sirius's face, and unsurprisingly, he quickly tore it into pieces.
So he took out the second one.
Sirius followed suit.
The third and fourth...
"Enough! All you have in your mind is gold Galleons?" Sirius roared angrily, "Why don't you think about the task assigned to you by Dumbledore? The headmaster of Durmstrang-"
"My mission went smoothly." Snape smirked. "As for you——"
He looked Blake up and down. His body was covered with water stains, and it was obvious that he had been in Black Lake.
"It seems like your brain is doggy-paddling into the water. Otherwise, even a first-year student would know that debts must be repaid."
Sirius's face was distorted. He was in debt again and turned into a big dog. He shook his body and ran away.
Snape seemed to feel that even the air in the Forbidden Forest was much fresher without Sirius.
This made his brows relax a little, and he turned to look at Harry with a dark gaze:
"You are trespassing into the Forbidden Forest with your classmates, Potter. Don't you know your current situation? Gryffindor will deduct 50 points for your recklessness and ignorance."
Harry felt like he had gills growing on his face again, and for a moment he didn't know which organ to use to breathe.
Soon Snape's venom also sprayed Jian Yu, but his focus was very different:
"I think Miss Jane, our mermaid tamer, can explain it to me--"
"Why are there screams coming from outside the window of the Slytherin common room?"
