HP's profit-seeking

The relationship between Stacy and Roger has reached a deadlock this time, and it has reached a state of having you without me.

After Christmas, the small group began to think of ways to help Cedric with the second project. Stacy walked into the library and saw a few of them sitting together. She turned away with a cold face.

Cedric was a little confused, "What's wrong with Stacy? How did she see us leaving?"

Danica glanced at Roger and whispered to him, "It's not about us, it's about Roger. The two of them got into a fight over some...um...thing." She tried to change the subject, saying aloud, "Cedric, you must already know the contents of the golden egg?"

The eyes of the twins and Roger stared at him, and he froze for a moment, "Oh? Yes, I put the golden egg into the water in the bath according to the method you said. When I opened it again, There's some weird singing coming from the golden egg," he tried to remember.

"Look for us, where our voices sound,

We cannot sing on the ground.

When you search, think carefully about:

We stole your most beloved baby.

You only have an hour,

To find and recapture what we took,

After an hour there is no hope,

It is completely gone, never to appear. "

Danica couldn't help but praised, "Not bad, you've memorized it all!"

"Because I couldn't figure it out, I listened to it no less than ten times." Cedric scratched his head embarrassingly.

Roger had been thinking for a while, and then he spoke, "Creatures that cannot sing on land... the voice in the golden egg can only be heard in water... Are they underwater animals? Animals that can make human voices... He looked up at Danica in some surprise, "Mermaid?"

"I also think it's a mermaid, and it exists in the Black Lake, so I guess the next project may require the warriors to search for the robbed beloved in the Black Lake, and the time limit is one hour." Danica analyzed, " So the question is, how do you stay in the water for an hour?"

Fred suggested, "You can transform yourself into a fish! Professor McGonagall only recently talked about human transfiguration."

"You also said that we have only recently started to learn this, and we haven't fully grasped it at all. If we transform ourselves without authorization, the consequences will be disastrous." Danica spread out a thick spell book and quickly rummaged through it, "I think the most The safe way is this," she pointed to a spell on the page, "Bubble Curse."

She pushed the book to Cedric, "The bubble head spell helps you breathe underwater. It's a spell that covers your head with a large air-filled bubble, like turning a goldfish bowl upside down on your head, to ensure you're supplied. Fresh air."

George couldn't help exclaiming, "Cool!"

Cedric also nodded, "I also think this method is good. Shall we practice it?" He glanced at the cold wind raging outside the window and shivered. "Are you going to the Black Lake? It may be frozen now."

"If we can find a large indoor pool, we don't need it, and we can go to the Black Lake when the weather is warmer." Danica smiled and looked at Fred, "My dear, do you know that Hogwarts has such a good place? ?”

Fred raised his eyebrows and smirked, "I just know such a good place that can satisfy your wish."

The twins took them to the eighth floor of the castle, in front of a tapestry where a troll beat Barnabas with a stick.George said to the bewildered others, "We call it the Room of Requirement, and it will appear if you put your mind to it."

"We were chased by Filch one time, and we really wanted a house to hide in, and then it showed up," Fred said with a shrug.

George walked up and down the tapestry three times, muttering, "A room with a huge swimming pool...a room with a swimming pool..."

Danica opened her mouth slightly, looking at everything in front of her in surprise.A smooth door slowly appeared on the wall opposite the tapestry, and George and Fred opened it together, "Welcome to the Room of Requirement." In the center of the great room behind the door is a huge swimming pool, which looks like It is a swimming pool.

After they all went in, the door on the wall disappeared again.Roger, Cedric, and Danica looked around the room excitedly, while George and Fred watched them amused.

Cedric stood by the pool, looked at the bottom of the water, estimated the depth in his heart, and exclaimed, "It's too deep!"

As soon as the words fell, Cedric was kicked into the water by George standing behind him. He laughed loudly, "Go down, our warrior!"

Cedric splashed a few times in the water before he stabilized. He leaned on the edge of the pool and grabbed George's ankle, "Get down for me too!"

Another huge splash.They frolicked in the water, and Roger finally showed a smile on his face, and jumped into the water to join the battle.He besieged George with Cedric, and George shouted, "Fred, what are you waiting for? Come and help me!"

Now all the boys jumped into the water and had a water fight. Cedric also grabbed a straw on the bank, took out a wet wand from his pocket, and transformed it into a water gun. The situation was crushed instantly .

Danica had to go to the pool to control the situation, and she yelled, "Hey boys, we're here to practice spells, not to play..." They didn't stop until she yelled three times. down.

"Cedric, have you memorized the incantations of the Bubble Curse?" Danica said to the boy who was leaning on the edge of the pool.Fred emerged from the water suddenly. He brushed his long wet hair and smiled brightly, "Come on, show us a demonstration." He also grabbed Danica into the water.

Danica exclaimed and grabbed his waist, the pool was so deep that her feet couldn't even touch the bottom.She complained, "My clothes are all soaked."

Fred urged her with a smile, "Quick, how to do the bubble head curse?"

Danica gave him a blank look, waved her wand, said the spell, and then quickly dived under the water.Her head is surrounded by a huge air bubble, making her features look comically elongated and widened.

Fred also cast the Bubble Head Charm on himself and dived into the water, laughing as he watched Danica.Cedric and Roger also dove in one after the other, with George succeeding at last.They swam nimbly like fish in the huge swimming pool, and began to compete to see who could swim the fastest.

Fred took Danica to swim to the corner of the pool, and he tapped the mask on her head with his wand, "Curse stop!" Her eyes widened, and the mask disappeared in an instant, and she spit out a series of small bubbles without noticing. .

He smiled and removed his own spell, and finally all the obstructions on their heads were gone. He wrapped his arms around Danica's waist and kissed her, exchanging the only oxygen left between them, the red hair rippling in the green and clear water.

After a while, Danica emerged from the water with a flushed face, and she swam towards the shore, panting heavily.Fred swam around her comfortably, nimbly like a seductive mermaid.

During the remaining days of the vacation, they often accompanied Cedric to the Room of Requirement to practice the head-bubbling spell. From the first time he could only last 10 minutes underwater, by the end of the vacation, he had been able to last for more than an hour.

"The biggest problem now is whether you can perform like this under the cold Black Lake." Danica looked at the timer and said to Cedric.

He begged, "It will take two more days. If I go to the Black Lake now, I'm afraid I will freeze to death."

Soon it was the weekend of the first week of the new term, when they could go to Hogsmeade again.This time Danica finally didn't have to sneak out of the school through secret passages. Aunt Jane went to the orphanage to go through the adoption procedures, and now she is Danica's guardian.

Danica took the finally signed consent form and left the castle with Fred holding hands under Filch's scrutiny, and walked towards the school gate through the cold and damp field.As they passed Durmstrang's big ship moored on the lake, they saw Viktor Krum coming out of the cabin and standing on the deck, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks.

Danica slapped Fred's hand away from her eyes, ignoring his yelling, "You haven't seen me naked yet! Don't look at other men first!" Krum had stretched his hands arm, plopped into the water.

"It seems that he already knows..." she murmured in a low voice.

Fred dragged her away angrily, and Danica had to trot after him as he strode ahead.Finally they went into Mrs. Puddife's teahouse, ignored the waiter's invitation, and strode to the bathroom, where Fred locked the door of the cubicle.

He leaned against Danica, and she leaned against the door with some discomfort. "My God, Fred, this is the men's room! What did you bring me into the men's room for?"

"Look at my naked body." He smiled, and began to take off the cloak and robe on his body, and then took off the jumper, and the hem of the shirt was pulled up, revealing a thin waist.

Danica was taken aback, and she quickly pressed his hand that was about to unbutton his shirt, "What are you going crazy about?"

"You just kept staring at Krum, you must be fascinated by his body, look at me, I'm not bad, if you want abdominal muscles, there are a lot of things that should be expected." Reid said a little aggrieved. "I remembered, you didn't miss Cedric's body."

Danica pressed her temples with a headache, "Oh Merlin, your jealousy is too sudden. I'm just observing the enemy's situation, and it's time for Cedric to get used to it in the Black Lake."

Fred cheered up all of a sudden, and he said gloatingly, "Yeah, that's right, he should practice again after I get back today." His hand slowly undid a button on Danica's dress, and his hand drilled Go in, "Then let's continue what we didn't finish at the Christmas ball..."

"In this kind of place? Wait a minute, don't touch it..."

"I'm sorry, sir, have you encountered any problems? Some people say that the door of this room has been closed for a long time." The waiter of the teahouse knocked on the door, and Fred and Danica froze all of a sudden.

Fred looked at Danica with flustered eyes, and she lip-synced to him, "Look what you've done."

The waiter outside the door was still knocking on the door, "Sir, if you don't open the door yet, I may have to force it open." He took out his wand, "Alahoo hole is open!"

Danica grabbed Fred's arm, quickly pulled out her wand and said, "Apparate!" The moment the door opened, the two of them disappeared from the small cubicle, and the waiter looked at the room suspiciously. Toilets of a few square meters.

They suddenly appeared in the alley in front of the Pig's Head Bar. Fred patted his chest and said in shock, "If that person saw us just now, it would be really embarrassing."

Danica buttoned her body angrily, and strode forward, "Then who can blame it, Weasley, I warn you, if you are in heat regardless of the occasion, you will live with George in the future."

Fred hurried forward, grabbed her and walked into the Three Broomsticks, "I apologize, let's go have a cup of warm butter beer. It's really cold."

They killed some time in the Three Broomsticks, and when they left in the afternoon, they happened to meet Cedric and Qiu Zhang who had just entered.Fred let go of Danica, greeted him enthusiastically, hooked Cedric's neck and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence, but our warrior still has time for a date, and the second date will be held soon. The project competition is over. I think the time is almost up, why don't we go back and practice again."

Qiu said empathetically from the side, "I'm fine, why don't we go back early."

In this way, the four of them returned to Hogwarts early. At the gate of the castle, Fred still hooked Cedric's neck and said to Danica and Qiu Zhang, "You two go back to rest first. Dany Card, I practice with Cedric, and I will supervise him well."

Danica glanced at him and went in with Qiu Zhang without contradicting him in front of others.Fred smiled and waved his hands until they were completely out of sight. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. He let go of Cedric and kicked him into the black lake expressionlessly, "Krum this morning Jumped into the black lake for a swim, you should also get used to it."

Cedric struggled to swim to the shore, "What are you crazy about? Come down and try, the water is bitingly cold!"

Fred pressed his head, "Cast the spell, I'm going to put you in the water, I'm ready to count."

Cedric had no choice but to obediently follow what he said.Cedric didn't return to the Hufflepuff common room until it was dark and the moon climbed over the top of the castle.

In the early morning of February 2, three towers were erected in the middle of the Black Lake, and the students rowed from the shore to the stands of the towers.Fred and George held a wooden box and yelled, "Will you bet?" "Come and bet, friends, don't be shy!"

"Three boys and one girl." "Four people go into the water, can all four of them come back?"

Danica passed them, "Cedric." She put a Galleon into their wooden box, and George hurriedly jotted it down in his notebook.After she was gone, Fred whispered to George, "Cedric is the most bettor. I hope he loses."

The four warriors stood at the referee table, and the director of the Sports Department held his wand against his throat, "The voice is loud!" His voice was like thunder, resounding on the dark black lake, "Listen everyone, we The warriors are in their positions. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second project will begin. They have one hour to recover their stolen beloved. I count to three, one...two...three!"

The whistle blew, and the four jumped into the water almost simultaneously.Cheers and applause erupted from the stands.After a while, the heat subsided, and the stands and the Black Lake fell into silence together.Compared with the thrillingness of the first project, the warriors of this project are carried out underwater, and the audience can only stare at the calm surface of the black lake in a daze.

Danica stood on the bottom floor of the tower. She leaned on the railing, surrounded by a large number of people. This floor was almost all relatives and friends of the warriors.Roger squeezed in from the other side, leaning against the railing beside Danica, and said casually, "Fleur's sister is gone."

"Cho Chang's gone, too." Danica watched the twins come down the stairs, and they put away the wooden box, whispering, "Ron's gone, and neither has Hermione."

"Then they are probably the most beloved things that the warriors have been robbed of." Roger glanced at the still calm lake, then glanced at his watch, "They still have 45 minutes."

Danica originally thought that she would stare at the black lake in a daze for an hour, but she didn't expect that only halfway through, a person emerged from the water, it was Furong, her cloudy silver hair stuck to her face in embarrassment, her body And some scratches.Panting for breath, she swam to shore, and Danica was closest to her, reaching out and pulling her up.

"Why are you alone? Have you found your sister?" Danica asked her with a serious expression.

Fu Rong's expression suddenly flustered, and she asked anxiously, "Isn't she on the shore?"

"I'm afraid your sister is still in the Black Lake. She is your beloved thing that was taken away." Danica was squeezed away by a group of Beauxbaton's female students. They put a blanket on Fleur and held her back. She wanted to jump into the black lake again, but she could only look at the lake anxiously, praying silently in her heart.

After a long time, and it was approaching the edge of the one-hour time limit, Cedric and Qiu Zhang came out of the water. There were cheers from the stands, and with a big smile on his face, he dragged Qiu Zhang to swim to the shore.Roger quickly took two blankets to cover them.After a while, a shark head appeared with Hermione. The shark slowly returned to Krum's appearance, and the audience burst into applause.Even Fred couldn't help exclaiming, "He used Transfiguration!"

The black lake regained its calm, and the time limit of one hour had passed. Harry hadn't appeared yet, and the crowd began to stir up a little.Finally, the calm of the lake was broken. Ron and a little girl emerged from the water first, followed by Harry's head, who looked very tired.There was an instant buzz in the stands, they yelled and yelled, "He brought back two people!"

Fleur broke away from Madame Maxime who was holding her, knelt on the bank, and shouted hysterically to Harry, "Gabriel, Gabriel, is she okay?"

Like a warrior returning home in triumph, Harry climbed ashore in the face of deafening cheers.Dumbledore was negotiating with the leader of the mermaid on the shore, understanding what happened underwater, and he uttered the same mermaid language.

He discussed with several referees in low voices for a while, then walked to the front of the crowd, held his wand to his throat, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Mermaid leader Mokus told the audience what happened at the bottom of the lake." We have told us exactly what happened, and we have decided to rate the warriors as follows based on the full score of fifty points..."

"Although Fleur Delacour showed proficiency in the use of the Bubble Curse, she was attacked by Green Lody when approaching the target and failed to free the hostage. We give her 25 points."

The stands applauded.Fu Rong herself shook her head, "I deserve zero points."

"Cedric Diggory also used the bubble spell and he was the first to bring the hostages back but he was a minute over the hour so we gave him 1 points."

The Hufflepuffs cheered loudest in the crowd, clapping their hands in excitement.

"Viktor Krum performed Transfiguration, not complete, but effective. He returns second with a hostage, and we give him 40 points."

Dumbledore glanced at Harry, "Harry Potter used gill grass and achieved amazing results. He was the last to return, far exceeding the stipulated time. However, the merman leader told us that Mr. Potter was The first one to find the hostages, he failed to return in time to ensure that all hostages can return safely. So for his noble character, we decided to give him 45 points."

Except for Karkaroff, everyone cheered enthusiastically for this decision, and his dissatisfied protest was drowned out by cheers and applause.

"The third project, which is the last project, will be held on the evening of June 6," Bagman continued, following Dumbledore's words, "the warriors will know the specific content of the game one month in advance. Thank you all Support for the Warriors."

Fred and George gave gold coins to those who won the bet, and then counted the remaining money. They clapped their hands happily, "I actually made some money!"

George put his arms around Cedric and Roger's necks, and said excitedly, "Let's go, let's celebrate Cedric's victory together!"

A group of youthful boys and girls came to the Hogwarts kitchen again, eating and drinking happily like robbers entering the village.

They knew nothing about the coming crisis.

The author has something to say:

1. Cedric is dying.

2. My computer is broken, and I have to go to repair the computer for a few days.
