The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

That night, Link went to Snape's office on the pretext that he needed advice on the "Slytherin Pharmacopoeia", and succeeded in mixing some secret potions from Snape, replenishing himself. The already empty armed belt.

Then when he left, he happened to bump into the mermaid princess who was about to leave Hogwarts.

"Hello, His Highness the Prince of the Night."

The mermaid princess took the lead in speaking in a singing-like tone.

At this moment, Link truly saw the whole mermaid princess for the first time.

I saw that her lower body was indeed a fish tail.

However, unlike common mermaids, not only was there no mucus or other dirty things on her fish tail, it was also golden yellow, and the whole body looked shining and very beautiful under the light of the tip of Link's staff.

And she also seems to have some kind of water control ability, because there is always a clear spring condensed at the tip of her tail that is constantly surging, lifting her forward.

Such a fantasy fish tail coupled with an unforgettable upper body can be said to be a feast for the eyes.

But the way Link looked at him was very strange.

Because the mermaid princess was struggling to hold the huge glass water tank that Link was so familiar with.

'Is Dumbledore really so shameless? '

Link sighed secretly in his heart, and then noticed what the mermaid princess had just called him, and said with some confusion:

"Hello to you, Your Highness Princess. But why do you call me 'Prince of the Night'?"

"Oh, this is an allusion to our mermaid clan. You can understand that we are used to calling those noble people who appear at night 'princes of the night'."

"is it?"

Link murmured somewhat suspiciously. Even without Legilimency, he could still hear it. The mermaid princess in front of him obviously didn't tell him the truth.

But just as he was about to continue asking, he heard the other party say first:

"Mr. Prince, I am very grateful that you deliberately waited here for me. It's just that I can't return the vat of phoenix tears that Mr. Dumbledore gave us!"

As soon as he said this, Link's eyes fell back on the vat of tears.

Then, his expression instantly distorted.

He had just discovered a small piece of brownish-yellow flocculent impurity in the tank, and he didn't know what part of it was made of the yo-yo.

"Can I take the liberty of asking?" Link said again after reorganizing his emotions, "What are you going to do with these Phoenix Tears?"

"Of course I drink it!" the mermaid princess said without thinking, "I heard that phoenix tears have beauty properties!"

Hearing this, Link was instantly petrified on the spot. It was really hard for him to imagine the scene of the mermaid princess drinking the bathwater from Yo-Yo.

However, as an outstanding student of Hogwarts, he naturally did not want to mess with his principal's plan to trick people. He only said after a while with great admiration:

"What a courageous heroine. I wonder if I am lucky enough to know your name?"

The mermaid princess' English ability was obviously not high enough to understand the Chinese proverbs that Link forcibly translated, so she was obviously stunned when she heard the words.

But she probably also understood that Link was praising her, and after realizing it, she waved happily and said:

"Oops! I would be embarrassed if you said that. As for the name, of course I can tell you, but I will only say it once, and you must remember it!"

"Of course!"

"Then I said it!" The mermaid princess took a deep breath to accumulate strength, and then said quickly, "&*%@..."

Link: "?"

Link was immediately confused.

The mermaid princess just spoke at least hundreds of syllables at a very fast speed, and most importantly, the other party spoke in mermaid language. Link couldn't even understand it, let alone memorize it.

Seeing Link's appearance, the mermaid princess covered her mouth and laughed like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

Along with her movements, the water tank she held in her arms also rippled, and large groups of sediment were stirred up.

"I'm kidding you! My name can't be said in human language at all." When Link realized that his face turned ugly, the mermaid princess stopped her smile and explained, "But you can call me Jenny. ! That’s my human name, doesn’t it sound nice?”

Link didn't reply, but looked at the other person with a strange expression.

A name like Jenny was similar to Cuihua and Ergou in China. He really didn't know how to complain, so in the end he could only nod perfunctorily.

"I knew I had a talent for naming names! It's getting late, so I won't tell you anymore. Goodbye!"

Princess Jenny said this again with a smile, and then left Hogwarts happily.

Link scratched his head in the direction the other party left.

He always felt that the other party seemed a bit naive.

……

The next afternoon, Dumbledore, who was extremely efficient in his actions, immediately announced a complete lockdown, prohibiting students and other people from entering and exiting.

Not only that, Dumbledore's determination this time was so strong that he even designated a large restricted area in the school and strictly prohibited students from entering.

At first, the students were very dissatisfied with this decision, which directly resulted in them being unable to go to Hogsmeade.

Especially the brothers George and Fred.

These two guys' smuggling business of helping people bring alcohol and contraband from outside the school was completely ruined.

In order to save enough money to open a prank boutique in Diagon Alley before graduation, they were even planning to organize their classmates to protest against Dumbledore.

Of course, their plan failed in the end.

Because when everyone discovered that the designated restricted areas seemed to be building a venue for the third event of the Triwizard Tournament, all dissatisfaction instantly dissipated and was replaced by excitement.

In order to support Link, or for the honor of Hogwarts, everyone changed their normal behavior and firmly supported Dumbledore's decision.

And this sense of unity and excitement reached its peak in early June when Bagman, on behalf of the Triwizard Tournament organizing committee, announced the project content to the Warriors and announced the viewing process to the audience!

"...After learning the lessons from the last Black Lake project, our competition organizing committee has made a lot of optimizations for this project. In addition to some safety improvements, the most important thing is the improvement of the spectators' viewing experience. promote!

For this project, we rented hundreds of monitoring hummingbirds and monitoring wolf fish from the International Alchemist Association through the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China. These creations that condense the highest level of alchemy technology will follow the four warriors throughout the process, and will The footage is uploaded to the viewing area inside Hogwarts Castle to ensure everyone has the best viewing experience! "

As Bagman's high-pitched voice echoed through the auditorium, all the students were excited.

In the previous second project, they were basically blind for the whole process and didn't watch anything.

The momentum of the third project this time will be even greater than the second project, and they don't want to miss it.

So the news that Bagman announced now really made them crazy.

The Hufflepuffs even swarmed up to Link and sang the Hogwarts laugh song.

John even hugged Link and screamed:

"Great Link! This time we can see with our own eyes how you defeated those crooked melons and cracked jujubes and finally won the championship!"

John's words were extremely arrogant, but the Hogwarts students around him were not dissatisfied at all, and many even agreed.

In their eyes, the third event was just a formality. Link was already a veritable champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

After all, even if you don't mention Link's terrifying strength, the perfect score in the previous two items is enough for Link to ascend to the throne.

Emily obviously thinks so too.

At this moment, she was just cuddling up to Link's side, enjoying everyone's congratulations, her face full of happiness.

Faced with this situation, Link smiled bitterly.

Probably only a few people at the scene, including him, knew the true situation of the third project.

I'm afraid that by then I will still have a very difficult battle to fight.

Cedric seemed to regard the wry smile on Link's face as the distress of the current gathering situation, and stepped forward to rescue him before saying:

"Okay, don't get too excited. Although the solution has been determined for a long time, it is not good to celebrate so early now."

After saying that, he pouted in the direction of Durmstrang and the Beauxbatons students.

At this moment, they were all sitting silently in the corner like capons, which was in sharp contrast to the lively scene in the center of the auditorium.

"What do they care about?" John ignored this and retorted directly, "This is Hogwarts, our territory! As long as we are happy! Can they still turn the world upside down? Don't you think so? "

As soon as this statement came out, he immediately received a lot of approval.

Seeing this, Cedric frowned and said:

"Don't be too happy! Tomorrow is the Owl exam. Could it be that you have already reviewed?"

"Ah this..."

John suddenly lost his temper.

Not only him, but also many 5th and 7th grade students nearby lost their smiles instantly.

In fact, after one-on-one "encouragement" by professors from various colleges, even the most carefree students now clearly realize the significance of owl to them.

Under the pressure of such a big mountain as 'the future', Hogwarts' upcoming Triwizard Tournament glory will be nothing.

When Link saw this, he followed suit and said:

"Everyone, please go back to the dormitory and read more books. Although the review effect is not much now, it will be useless if you don't sharpen your skills before the battle!"

"What Link said is right, everyone should go back quickly. Students from other grades should not continue to make trouble. Forget it as usual. At least you should not disturb the candidates today."

Cedric nodded.

Under the persuasion of the two great gods, Link and Cedric, the crowd that had gathered in the auditorium finally gradually dispersed. Cedric himself also left on the grounds that he had to review for the NEWT exam. Before leaving, he smiled half-heartedly. Link raised an eyebrow.

Knowing that Cedric deliberately did not stay here as a light bulb, Link smiled gratefully and then said to Emily:

"Let's go back. Don't read tonight. Get some rest early. The most important thing you need to do now is to be energetic for tomorrow's exam."

Emily looked up when she heard this and said:

"But what you just said to others is that if you don't sharpen your weapon in battle, it will be useless."

"That's true for them, but for us, learning things into our heads is the most important thing. As for starting exams or something, that's just a tool to make our parents happy."

Link was not at all ashamed of his double-standard remarks and said confidently.

In fact, through Legilimency, he could clearly sense Emily's current nervousness.

Link felt that Emily was affected by what he had just said to Cedric about the exam.

However, this time Link's prediction was wrong.

Emily shook her head slightly and said:

"I know. I've never really taken the owl exam seriously."

Emily paused for a moment before frowning slightly and continued, "Link, we will be engaged in more than a month. I'm worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about!" Link, who finally understood what Emily was worried about, said firmly, "It's just an engagement, and I've even prepared an engagement ring."

After speaking, as if to strengthen the certainty of his words, Link squeezed Emily's hand tightly.

Emily also squeezed Link's hand tightly, squeezed out a smile and said:

"Then...Link, would you like to take a walk with me?"

"Okay!"

Link no longer hesitated and pulled Emily out of the auditorium.

Nowadays, there are many places to visit in Hogwarts. Large areas of specialized facilities have been built in the designated restricted areas to serve this third project. Especially the facilities located at the starting point of the Forbidden Forest are even more spectacular. It's a great place to play.

For the sake of Emily's mood, Link ignored the ban and took Emily to visit all the areas. After nightfall, he even climbed to the newly built stargazing tower funded by the Foley family to enjoy the scenery.

Originally, according to Link's idea, the bright stars in early summer should be able to soothe Emily's soul. Girls generally like this.

However, Link's grades in astrology classes and arithmetic divination classes were very poor, and he was unable to make even the most basic weather predictions.

So when they boarded the stargazing tower, what greeted them was not the sky full of stars, but the dark clouds that threatened to destroy the city.

"Uh hehe, how about we change places?"

Link smiled awkwardly and was about to take Emily away as soon as he finished speaking.

He felt that the current environment, let alone easing it, might even aggravate Emily's engagement phobia.

But when Emily heard this, she shook her head, buried her head in Link's arms and murmured:

"I just love it here."

"Okay, then I won't leave."

Link's body softened, and he gently stroked Emily's hair.

"Link, I have a bad feeling." Emily said again, "Promise me that no matter what, you will get engaged to me safely, okay?"

Link felt his heart throb. Emily's love for him was so hidden but strong, like a blindfolded cupid, but he could accurately enter the lover's heart.

He was silent for a moment, and then said with great seriousness:

"Ah, I promise you."

"Great."

A smile finally appeared in Emily's voice, and Link raised his head and looked at the gloomy night sky again.

For the first time in his life, the scenery in front of him seemed good.
