Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Not long after the dance ended, Barty Crouch quietly disappeared. His assistant Percy Weasley was originally supposed to replace him as a judge. But with Dumbledore and other big names as judges, Percy found it difficult to convince the audience, so he had to be replaced by Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

In fact, it was Cyrus who asked Rita to protest against recognizing Percy as a judge. Fudge has been very restless recently and has been secretly rebelling against her. Many of the companies she owns or the pure-blood families that support her have been raided by the Ministry of Magic for various reasons, and it's time to give him a reminder.

All the warriors have unlocked the secret of the golden egg. The only thing related to water is the black lake. Krum and others are still swimming in the black lake these days. Cyrus has never been there since the last time he caused a magic explosion at the bottom of the Black Lake. He was far away from the mermaid tribe at that time, so they probably wouldn't hold a grudge against me. What is little Barty going to do in the lake this time?

"Miss Slytherin, long time no see, haha. Congratulations on winning the first game! Work hard for this game!" Fudge enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Cyrus who was preparing for the game. "Long time no see, Minister Fudge. Thank you very much. I will try my best."

"But I heard from them that the fire dragon lost control during Miss Slytherin's competition. You were not injured, were you?"

Cyrus had a smile in his eyes, "That fire dragon was beheaded by me with one blow. How could I be injured?" Fudge thought that Cyrus' beheading of the fire dragon with one blow was just an exaggerated report by the reporters, but he didn't expect it to be true. The girl's indifferent voice came to my ears, "But Minister Fudge really cares about us pure-blood families. Even though he is busy at work, he still visits frequently. How can I thank Minister Fudge?"

The girl's tone was calm, her face was gentle, and her blue eyes were full of smiles. Fudge swallowed stiffly and huffed, feeling goosebumps crawling up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The game takes place in the water, and the warriors have to go into the water to find and save their treasures. Everyone was wearing swimsuits, except for Cyrus, who was still wearing his usual clothes and had taken off his school robe. Everyone discovered that she was also wearing a pair of Muggle... rain boots?

"Cyrus, why are you wearing rain boots?" Harry looked at the black rain boots on Cyrus' feet and asked why he was wearing rainproof gear when he went into the water. "Oh, there is too much mud at the bottom of the lake. It's hard to run with ordinary shoes. And it's easy to get splashed with mud." Harry nodded in understanding. Cyrus was different from the others in the first pass, maybe it was She figured out other ways to get through it.

As Fudge blew the whistle, all the warriors immediately dived. Almost everyone added a head-soaking spell to themselves. Krum used his unskilled transfiguration to turn his head into a shark's head. Harry ate gillweed and swam in the water after gills and flippers grew.

Only Cyrus was still standing there. When everyone was confused, they saw her hands coming together and moving forward, and then separated left and right. With her as the center line, the lake surged violently, gradually splitting left and right, and a road appeared at the bottom of the lake! Cyrus jumped directly into the bottom of the lake and looked around at the fish swimming in the transparent lake water. "It's a nice view."

The people in the audience could see clearly that Cyrus split the lake in two and walked directly on the bottom of the lake. Salazar at the judges' table snorted at Grindelwald, "Fire Shield can't do that."

Cyrus looked around, recalled the previous location of the mermaid tribe, and started running at the bottom of the lake. As her position changed, the lake behind her returned to its original shape, but stopped ten meters away from her, and the lake in front of her was constantly divided into roads. From the towering platform, it looks like a column of air moving around in a black lake.

Maxim had a gloomy look on his face, "Is this even called a competition! Why not even swim!" Salazar's indifferent words made Maxim shut up, "If Cyrus wants to, she doesn't even have to go down, she I’m just taking care of the players in the same competition.”

Cyrus was running when suddenly there was a scream from above. Looking up, a humanoid monster broke out of the water and fell down. Cyrus stepped aside because she was at the bottom of the lake and the humanoid monster was falling.

That's not right... The mermaids in the Black Lake can't speak human language. This monster has legs, and its head is Grindylow. How can it scream like a human...

Cyrus frowned and summoned a water curtain to wrap up the monster and float it in front of him. I didn't expect it to be Fleur, she probably accidentally broke out of the barrier after being attacked by Grindylow.

Grabbing the Grindylow lying on her head and shaking it in his hand, Cyrus poked her, "Young Miss Fleur, is it the gold Grindylow you dropped, the silver Grindylow, or me? Where is Grindylow who is about to be burned to death?"

The monster in her hand turned into ashes, but Fleur still didn't respond. Did she faint? How to become a warrior? Cyrus summoned the water curtain and dragged her up slowly. He casually used the amplifying spell to shout to the sky: "Mrs. Maxim, do you think you dropped this Beauxbatons hibiscus? Remember to treat me to a meal, it almost fell on me."

After Fleur gradually rose into the sky and was picked up by Dumbledore, Cyrus shrunk the spreading lake water so that only a few meters around her had air. It would be troublesome if someone fell down again soon. She was here to compete, not to collect garbage from the bottom of the lake.

Cyrus gradually saw the buildings of the mermaid tribe, and there were more Grindylows nearby. But when he saw Cyrus reaching out to grab his companions from the water, and then immediately burning them to ashes, all the Grindylows seemed to have seen it. They all stayed away from her like ghosts.

In an empty square, a row of hostages were tied to water plants, and were guarded by mermaids all around. Cyrus traveled smoothly and passed the other warriors by a long distance. Seeing that the others had not arrived yet, Cyrus walked to the center of the square and greeted the mermaid holding the fork. She did not speak mermaid language. Just a polite smile.

After seeing Cyrus's face clearly, the mermaid felt like a pot was exploding and pointed at her with a fork. Cyrus scratched his head innocently, "Are all mermaids so unhospitable?"

One of the sturdy mermaids spoke in vague and intermittent human language, "You... destroy... the Black Lake... leave!"

Cyrus looked at the mermaid innocently and pointed at himself, "I am a warrior."

The mermaid moved out of the way impatiently, letting Cyrus take Draco away, "Quickly...leave!"

Cyrus sighed, and two air blades chopped off Draco and Fleur's hostages. Seeing that Cyrus was about to take away the two of them, the mermaid pointed the fork at her again, "Only... one!!"

The tines were instantly cut into three or four pieces, and Cyrus smiled, "What if I don't?"

The surrounding mermaids swam quickly towards Cyrus and prepared to attack. The surrounding water fluctuated violently, pushing them away in an instant. "Mermaids are a group protected by Hogwarts. I will not harm you."

Cyrus walked over to Draco, who had been cast a protective spell to prevent him from choking on the water and would wake up when exposed to air. Looking carefully with his eyes, there was a wisp of black energy lingering around the necklace around Draco's neck.

Since you can't set a killing move in the water, why don't you set a curse on the hostage I have to touch? I had solved all the dark magic that Voldemort had set on the Horcruxes, but little Barty still underestimated my strength.

Cyrus, who was about to destroy the necklace, narrowed his eyes slightly. Draco's neck gradually turned black and purple, and he couldn't help laughing, "Little Barty... what a madman!"

After removing the air mask around him, he cast a bubble spell on himself, walked over to Furong and the other hostages, and observed them carefully. There was no dark magic on the hostages, and after confirming that none of the other hostages were cursed by dark magic, they returned to Draco again.

The black magic on Draco's necklace will explode after being exposed to the air for a period of time. If he takes him out of the water directly to find Dumbledore, it may be too late, and the destruction curse will explode directly.

The only choice left to Cyrus was to eat the curse or give up on Draco. Little Barty didn't know the unbreakable curse signed on him, and would rather risk killing a student than try to kill him. I.

Cyrus looked at the mermaid holding a Grindylow nearby and pointed at Grindylow, "Well, your pet is so cute. Can you pet it for me?"

Cyrus held four or five struggling Grindylows in his hands, walked into the water, and grabbed one of them and stretched it towards Draco's necklace. The moment he touched the necklace, black mist enveloped it. Grindylow's whole body trembled and shrill screams continued, and the black poison gradually spread throughout his body.

The blackness on Draco's neck was fading, but it continued to spread rapidly after Grindylow fell silent. Cyrus's right arm felt hot and his heart was in severe pain. Grindylow was not strong enough to withstand the curse, and Draco's life was in danger!

Regardless of the struggle of the Grindylow in his hand, Cyrus pressed all the remaining Grindylows on Draco's neck, pulled off the necklace and immediately set up a water curtain to push Draco away. The black mist enveloped several Grindylows, and then an explosion blew them into pieces.

The impact of the explosion brought the water flow and knocked Cyrus away. "Well... it's really uncomfortable to be hit like this at such a close distance."

The current in the center of the black lake was fast, and three figures floated on the water. Draco was held on the water, and Cyrus held Gabrielle Delacour in his arms. The three of them were supported by the water curtain and slowly floated to the shore.

Fleur, who was already awake, rushed to Cyrus and hugged her sister, constantly thanking Cyrus. Madam Pomfrey, who had been waiting on the shore, immediately put towels on them, cast quick-drying charms and warming charms, and handed everyone a bottle of warming potion for them to drink.

Draco also woke up and hugged Cyrus directly, "I knew you could succeed!" However, he found that the girl's body was unexpectedly cold. Cyrus patted him and said in a tired tone, "Yeah." Draco looked at To Cyrus, "Why are you so cold? Are you injured?"

Cyrus's clothes were torn in several places, but he could not be seen to be injured, but his face was a little pale. Shortly after Cyrus and others emerged from the water, Harry, Cedric and Krum swam back to the shore one after another.

Cyrus saw a few people and joked to Draco, "Okay, let me go, Draco. It seems we are number one." Draco reacted and immediately let go of Cyrus. , said with some embarrassment, "Of course. Slytherin will always be number one."

Cyrus wrapped a towel tightly around himself, "Why did you become a hostage?" Draco turned his head, "Professor Snape called me over last night and said that I would be the hostage of the Warriors. This morning Principal Dumbledore gave us I don’t remember anything after the spell was cast.”

"Well, I'm going back to rest first." Cyrus stood up and smiled at everyone who came forward to congratulate him. Then he looked at the teacher's desk, showed a bright smile in the direction of Moody, and took out the noseless doll and shook it. . A breeze blew by, and the doll's head fell to the ground.

Cyrus walked to an uninhabited corner and instantly collapsed on the ground, dizzy and gasping for air. The illusion and transformation spells disappeared, and his clothes became torn. Fortunately, he was in the water, and there was a water curtain blocking the water. Most impact. After resting for a while and adjusting to his condition, he said, "Kool, go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office."

Moody hurried back to the castle and walked to the door of his office. The door was not closed, but there was a small gap left. "Why is Professor Moody so careful when entering his office?"

Cyrus's voice came from behind the door. The office door was suddenly knocked open, and several magic spells flew towards Cyrus one after another. Cyrus reached out and waved, and several spells were cut off by the air blade. The air blade flew towards the wand in Barty's hand, but he quickly dodged it. Little Barty didn't hesitate at all, and fired the curse at Cyrus again, this time using the Death Curse directly. Facing those scarlet eyes, the whole person became even more furious, attacking crazily without leaving any room. The girl who was still sitting calmly on the chair in front of her made no defensive moves at all, and several green spells penetrated her body.

"Mr. Crouch really hates me, how about we sit down and talk?" The figure of the girl on the chair became distorted and gradually disappeared into the air. Her voice came from behind Little Barty, "Professor Crouch doesn't seem to listen to the students very well. Under the power above all else, the three unforgivable curses are not worth mentioning."

Facing Voldemort's group of people who use the Death Curse from the very beginning, the best way is to use illusions and taunt them at the same time.

Little Barty's whole body was immediately surrounded by powerful magic. The wand was cut into four or five pieces. His whole body was cut by sharp blades, and blood flowed out uncontrollably. The girl's excited chuckle completely angered him. Little Barty turned around and rushed towards Cyrus, his eyes red, and he pinched her neck. His body suddenly stiffened, and his whole body was petrified and fell to the ground.

"What a wonderful person, but it's a pity that he is as crazy as Bella. The noseless doll deserves a lot of credit, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort." Cyrus squatted next to Barty and recited the counter-curses one by one to stop his bleeding. , why did I just use this thankless method to petrify him directly?

After getting rid of little Barty, she looked around, "All the looking glasses were broken, and multiple protective spells were set up at the door. It's really prudent..."

Cyrus walked towards the large black box next to him. After opening it, he looked inside and said to Moody, who was sitting slumped inside: "Hello, Professor Moody, our first meeting is really strange. My name is Cyrus, and I will take Barty back to play with him first." Play. I will ask Principal Dumbledore to come over. You can take a rest first." Then he summoned a plate of food and floated it into the box.

Cyrus turned and sat back in his chair, took out a piece of parchment and wrote something on it. Then he snapped his fingers and said, "Cool, when the game is over, call Principal Dumbledore here to claim Professor Moody. Dobby, take me and this thing back and put him in the dungeon."

Dumbledore entered the office and saw Moody trapped in the box. "I'm sorry, Albus. I'm so embarrassed." Then he saw the parchment on the table: Father, I'll take little Barty back to study it. I'm taking a few days off to rest and will be back before the next competition. Don't make this matter public. You don't know the address of Slytherin Mansion yet. Please come over after Professor Moody is settled.

There was also a piece of paper with an address written on it under the parchment. When I picked up the piece of paper, the location of Slytherin Mansion appeared in my mind. Dumbledore destroyed the note and sighed, "This child..."
