Chapter 261 Good News and Bad News

Although Harry was very reluctant, he really couldn't hold it back, so he had to stick to the merman's lips and suck a small sip of oxygen from her mouth.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't suck it, he almost fainted when he put it to his mouth.

Harry was certainly not drunk on oxygen, nor was he excited to faint because of kissing the opposite sex, he was simply... smoked.

The mermaid seemed to have not brushed her teeth for half a month, and there was an inexplicable rotten smell in her mouth, which made Harry's head ache and his stomach began to churn.

He almost vomited into the mermaid's mouth!

Considering that it was his "oxygen tank", if he really vomited into it, he would still be disgusted, so Harry forced himself to hold it back.

The Black Lake was not particularly deep, but for Harry, the distance from the bottom of the lake to the shore seemed as long and torturous as running a marathon.

When he surfaced, his eyes were black, his limbs were weak, and his muscles were weak all over. The effect was even more powerful than the venom of the Loba worm!

For a moment, Harry even saw his great-grandmother waving at him kindly, and was going to take him away.

Harry surfaced, breathing in the fresh air frantically, and it took several minutes for him to recover. He said in agony:

"This is my first kiss!"

He wanted to save it for Qiu Zhang!!

"No, Harry, this is not your first kiss." Ron reminded him while retching:

"Have you forgotten? In the first grade, we went to the restricted area on the fourth floor, and you and Malfoy fell down and kissed each other."

"..."

The dead memory attacked Harry frantically, and he said woodenly:

"Ron, thank you for reminding me, you have a really good memory.

"You're welcome. "Ron continued to lean forward and vomit.

The students in the audience turned their heads to look at the seats of Slytherin College after hearing what Ron and Harry said.

Their eyes fell on Draco Malfoy at the same time.

Pansy grabbed her collar, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Draco, was your first kiss really taken away by Harry Potter?

This despicable bitch!"

Malfoy didn't speak, but his pale cheeks flushed.

Harry and Ron had forgotten that the audience could hear their conversation, and the two were talking about the problems of the competition without restraint.

"Ron, are you sure you don't want to complete the second project?"

"No." Ron shook his head with lingering fear: "I heard that those magical creatures you talked about seem to be difficult to deal with. I probably can't handle them. "

It's just difficult to deal with, but the key is that Ron can't breathe underwater and must carry a "mermaid oxygen tank" with him.

The distance he swam up from the bottom of the lake almost suffocated Ron. If he was trapped in the level... wouldn't he have to keep breathing oxygen?

That would be fatal!

Ron felt sorry for the five Galleons he borrowed. He said angrily: "Why can't we breathe underwater?"

"Of course." Harry said coldly: "It must be Snape's doing."

Harry must take revenge. If he doesn't take revenge, he will no longer be named Potter in the future, but Snape!

"Snape, that old dog, we will make him pay sooner or later! "Ron also cursed.

Next, he cursed Snape with many ugly words, which were clearly transmitted back to the scene through the magic curtain.

The students in the audience looked at Ron in shock, and then set their eyes on Snape.

Snape's face was gloomy, and he looked like he wanted to drown Ron.

At this time, there was little time left, and Harry and Ron had to reach the shore as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, riding on their mermaid "wife", the two of them seemed to be riding a small boat, speeding towards the shore.

In the process, Harry and Ron kept surpassing other warriors, which made them envious, and they wished they could get such a vehicle.

Looking at those eyes, Harry sighed.

Envy? ?

For the right to mate!

…

…

Rolf took Shirley, Hermione and Fleur to the kitchen for a snack. This time, they did not encounter any emergencies. After finishing the meal smoothly, they returned to the Black Lake.

At this time, most of the warriors had returned to the shore, including those students who had not completed the task, who were also brought back by the mermaids.

The five judges gathered together to discuss something fiercely. After a moment, Ludo Bagman's voice, amplified by magic, rang in everyone's ears.

The audience in the stands suddenly quieted down, and the warriors looked at Ludo, anxiously waiting for the score.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the discussion of the referee team, we have made the warriors' scores." Ludo said.

"The second project is still a 100-point system. Warriors who rescue the hostages within the specified time and return to the shore can get the basic 50 points."

"If the hostages are rescued, but it takes more than two hours to arrive, they can only get 25 points."

"In addition, each referee has 10 points, a total of 50 points. "

Hearing Ludo's words, most of the warriors looked disappointed. They all exceeded the time limit, which meant that the gap was at least 25 points.

Harry, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He stuck to the last minute and completed the task within two hours... He almost exceeded the time limit.

"Rolf Scamander was the first warrior to complete the project. He showed amazing skills in dealing with those magical creatures." Ludo said.

"So, we give him a score of 97."

The Hufflepuff students in the crowd cheered loudly, and the sound was deafening.

After everyone's cheers died down, Ludo continued:

"There is another thing we must take into account, that is, Scamander was ambushed by four dark wizards on his way back and captured them."

"Most of the judges," said Ludo, glancing at Karkaroff with dissatisfaction, "felt that this must be compensated and rewarded.

So... after the referees voted, Scamander was given an extra ten points, and his total score was 107 points."

Louder applause sounded, and some students jumped up and down on their tiptoes, screaming for Rolf.

"Shirley Swinton was the second warrior to complete the competition. She showed a super high level of Transfiguration skills in the competition, which impressed every judge." Ludo said loudly:

"After discussion, we finally gave 93 points."

Next, Fleur got 89 points, and Hermione was slightly lower than her, only 86 points.

The two arrived at almost the same time, and their performances were actually similar, but the reason why Fleur scored high was that Madame Maxime was shameless and gave her full marks.

"Viktor Krum used Transfiguration, which was incomplete but still effective. He was the fifth to return with hostages, so we give him 80 points."

Karkaroff clapped his hands very vigorously, looking very proud, and he also gave his student full marks.

"Harry Potter used the Aqualung Potion, which was mediocre in effect, but he got help from the mermaids." Ludo continued, "We give him 74 points."

Soon it was Ron's turn, and the referees discussed again.

Ron's situation was very special. He did not save the hostages, but reached the shore within the regular time.

Ron was full of expectations and hoped that he could also be given a basic score of 25 points, but unfortunately, after discussion, the referees gave him 4 points... exactly the same score as the first round.

But Ron was not too sad, because he was not the last one, and Polyaco, who was defeated by him, only scored 3 points.

Just as Ron was comforting himself, Ginny came over.

Ron immediately asked anxiously: "Ginny, did you bet the five Galleons for me?"

"Yes." Ginny said with a smile: "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news!"

"The good news is... I didn't listen to you and bet on you and Harry to win." Ginny said.

Ron raised his eyebrows, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Did Ginny bet on Rolf to win?

Although he wouldn't make much money in that way, at least he would break even.

He asked cautiously: "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is..." Ginny grinned:

"I bet you were the last one, and the odds were also considerable, but unfortunately, Polyaco of Durmstrang scored one point lower than you."

"..."
