Hagrid decided to go back to teaching, but was more surprised when the students were more excited when he brought less interesting animals than he thought.
The second test would take place from noon, for this reason the afternoon classes were suspended.
They all went to the lake for the second test.
Sasuke's fans were cheering for him, in surprising coordination.
"Come on, Sasuke!"
"You will win!"
"Long live Slytherins!"
The seats in the center of the lake were for the judges, instead of Barty Crouch there was Percy Weasley, the stands were for the public.
"Looks like the champions are all there," Ludo Bagman said awkwardly.
Both Wictor-Krum and Harry Potter had made it to the referee table, a table with gold tablecloths, and Fleur Delacur and Sasuke Uchiha arrived here almost front and back.
"Then you can start." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Should everyone know the rules of the game?" The four agreed unanimously.
"The most important people are taken by the mermaid and stopped by their villages... You have to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies in the water, rescue them... just one hour!",
Dumbledore repeated. Once again, his tone is quite serious.
"That's good!" Ludo-Bagman quickly clapped his hands: "Get ready, start right away!" The four champions arrived at the lake.
The three champions stripped off their cloaks revealing their bathing suits and dove into the water, one using a charm, the second a transformation, and the third some herbs.
The fourth youngest champion took off his cape revealing his suit that he wore in the first round only his blue polo shirt with white shorts with the logo of his clan.
But Sasuke sat on the platform while closing his eyes.
Everyone was silent before such an action, after 10 minutes Sasuke didn't react, then they started booing him, but he kept ignoring everything.
Ludo Bagman approached to find out what was happening, but Sasuke didn't respond, time continued and 10 more minutes had passed.
In the stands the four houses murmured that he was not ready, that he was afraid, that he did not know how to swim, but upon witnessing his powers in the first test they did not know what to say, even the judges looked stupefied at this action.
Then out of nowhere Sasuke reacted, and jumped into the water using the bubble helmet charm, with his right hand he maintained the spell with his wand, while with his left hand he began to channel his wind magic to shoot out at high speed.
They all saw this action, but they were more surprised to see at the speed it was moving as it left behind a trail of splashing water.
In the guests' gallery Moody, Sirius and Hagrid watched such a scene, then Moody said damn as he clenched his hands into fists, Hagrid and Sirius didn't understand.
In the judges' box Dumbledore was surprised to understand Mr. Uchiha's reasoning; The other judges listened to Dumbledore's explanation and were surprised, except for Karkarov who was cursing the Uchiha in his mind.
Moody explained to Sirius and Hagrid what happened:
Moody: It seems that Mr. Uchiha used the other champions as decoys to distract the creatures from the lake; now he should be moving forward without any problem.
Lake water is very cold but for Sasuke he was used to it, due to his ninja training.
Sasuke on his way outwitted the few grindylows that were in his path since most of them were attacking the other champions, due to their great speed they couldn't reach him, and they gave up chasing him.
When he got to where the assembled mermaids were, he saw four people tied up.
There was a little girl who came with the Beauxbatons, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and a boy from Durmstrang called Poliakov; the Four were tightly bound with ropes.
Sasuke slowly approached where the hostages were, to free them but the mermaid told him that only one per champion.
Sasuke smiles in his mind, says I want it all, performs a combination of seals with his hands.
Sasuke: Doton: Chidou kaku; A rock platform rises beneath his feet, lifting him and the hostages to the surface to the stunned gaze of the mermaids.
On the surface, Sasuke approaches the edge of the platform, while in his mind he tells himself that the easiest way to win is to eliminate your opponents, while sticking his hand into the water.
The mermaids come out of their astonishment and go to attack Sasuke, but as they approach the surface, they see a small light that was generated while it was growing.
Sasuke: Chidori
The current of the chidori electrocuted everyone who was in the lake in a radius of 30 meters, all the mermaids, selkies, grindylows were paralyzed when receiving such a non-magical attack for the first time.
Sasuke seeing that time is running out, had to hurry to take the hostages to the goal, he made a combination of seals.
Sasuke: Kuchiyose no Jutsu, and his eagle appeared.
The hostages were starting to wake up, Hermione with her eyes half closed saw the silhouette of Sasuke who seemed to be going to charge her.
Hermione in her mind is going to carry me like a princess she was all happy. Sasuke picked her up with only one hand as he reached over to the girl to pick her up as well.
Hermione: In his mind I'm more baggage than a princess.
As he climbed onto his eagle, it in turn raised Weasley and Poliakov with its legs.
At that moment, on the shores of the lake, Mrs. Maxim held Fleur and consoled her.
Fleur was completely hysterical, and she struggled back into the water. Her face and arms were on the left and right with a scar, and her robe was torn.
Gabriel! Gabriel Fleur cried in vain: "I have to save her"
But it's not easy to get rid of Mrs. Maxim's arms."
"Miss Delacur, you have been eliminated, and you are not allowed to enter the lake again!" Percy Weasley told him.
Five minutes ago, Fleur encountered a group of grindylow attacks underwater, the poor girl stunned one and was left stunned by the other two. Fleur was nearly killed by two grindylow fingers, their claws smashing through the bubble helmet she had created. .
If it wasn't for Dumbledore saving her, I'm afraid her corpse would be floating in the lake.
But in the same way, he also lost the qualification to complete the competition.
With only a few minutes left before the hour was up, a few people shouted, look in the sky, a large bird was approaching them at a high speed that made them feel fearful from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, on the shores of the lake, the audience and the referees on the sidelines are now in a daze.
"What's going on?" Percy Weasley asked with a stern look. The eyes of him and a fearful look at several other referees.
Ludo Bagman also stood there with his mouth open unable to speak.
The expression on his face was even a bit desperate.
Only Mrs. Maxim suddenly smiled, but she did a good job of hiding it, tilting her head, comforting Fleur, and pointing to Gabriel Delacur, who was approaching.
Sasuke noticing that they were already approaching at low flight height, then he said let them go.
The eagle released Weasley and Poliakov into the water, who complained saying WHY?
Sasuke ignored them, as he jumped onto the platform with the two hostages in his arms, the eagle understanding Sasuke's look, and flew away to disappear outside the Hogwarts grounds.
The entire audience reacted after seeing that Sasuke Uchiha had finished the second task on time, and thunderous applause began from Slytherin, while they whispered about what spell that was.
Dumbledore was worried where Harry was was the only thing on his mind.
Moody was also worried, and went out to look for him, in his mind he said if something happened to him it would ruin his teacher's plans, damn Uchiha.
After 10 minutes he approached the mermaid boss who had arrived to inform her of what happened in the lake.
Angry mermaid told about how they caught Harry Potter and Victor Krum, who brought him in a fishing net, where they were stunned but alive.
The mermaid leader told how it was with Sasuke that she arrived where the hostages were, she decided to rescue everyone, where she raised a stone platform, seeing this action all the mermaids decided to attack from all directions with their harpoons but a light appeared that left us paralyzed, after recovering our movements he was already gone, but we found these two stunned.
The audience was wondering how he rescued everyone and why Krum and Potter are in a daze.
Dumbledore seemed to have communicated with the mermaid leader until the mermaid leader looked at Sasuke with his rude eyes and ordered his minions to free Potter and Krum.
The mermaids have returned to the lake.
Albus Dumbledore held the shark's head in Krum's hands, holding his hands and feet in a Harry Potter braid, and led them back to the rostrum.
Professor Kakarov and Professor McGonagall rushed over and caught the two students.
"What the hell is going on?" Kakalov growled as he held his wand to Krum's head.
Her wand's wand did nothing as Professor McGonagall ran up and lifted the warp from Krum's head.
Dumbledore ignored him, but curiously looked at Sasuke: the leader of the mermaids told me that you attacked them and rescued all the hostages.
Sasuke answered yes because the other champions were taking too long, I waited for him for 20 minutes and they didn't show up, I assumed they had failed, looking at Krum and Potter who didn't dare look at him.
Also if Potter, Krum and Delacur didn't make it, they would die, so I had to do this.
You finished on time.
By the way, the three remaining champions were eliminated.
Eliminated, what do you mean, Dumbledore?" Kakalov couldn't help but raise his tone.
My statement may not be quite standard, but this game is over," said Dumbledore calmly.
"This is impossible! This is just an accident!" Kakalov argued enthusiastically.
"Yeah, it's over!" Percy Weasley took a piece of parchment and walked over, "The rules of the game state that in the case of all four players leaving the lake, no more than one hour. It means the end of the game."
In fact, it's over, only Sasuke Uchiha has successfully saved his hostage.
This is not fair." Kakalov yelled: "Krum hasn't had a chance to act yet."
"Tournament rules cannot be changed!" Percy said nonchalantly.
"If you can escape the hands of hundreds of mermaids and bring four people to shore, then it's unfair, Kakalov!" Said Snape walked up from the stand Kakalov couldn't help but flinch. He stepped back and said nothing.
"Yes, this boy did it Great" Mrs. Maxim also said: "It is a very noble act, and it is also a very dangerous decision. Not everyone can have the courage to face hundreds of mermaids.
Ludo Bagman who had wanted to refute, but seeing other people's opinion agree, then they began to give the respective scores.
Fleur Delacur was the first to come, and she was holding her sister, Gabriel in her arms.
"You saved her" Fleur said hoarsely. She was so excited that she could barely breathe: "She's not your hostage though!"
"Thank you so much!" Fleur leaned her head and kissed each other on the cheeks, Sasuke just nodded.
Good luck to you, said Fleur.
Sasuke held her back and told her.
Sasuke: You should become strong, with that level you won't be able to protect her.
Flower: thank you.
Sasuke turned to Gabriel.
Sasuke: You should become strong too, I see that you have talent and impressive power if you train diligently next time maybe you'll be the one to save your sister, while stroking her head.
Gabrielle: Thank you, she was happy to be recognized by a magician stronger than her sister, sometimes she felt in the dark when compared to her sister, but here was someone who recognized her power.
Sasuke caught a glimpse of Gabrielle as he looked at Itachi.
Looks like she wasn't as annoying as she thought! Hermione whispered.
Sasuke just nodded.
Krum and Potter also thanked him for rescuing the hostages, Sasuke just ignored them.
Hermione didn't know what to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we finally made the decision"
The mermaid leader, Ayre, told us all the things that happened under the lake. We decided to give the warriors the following points based on a perfect score of 50
Ludo Bagman yelled:
- The first is Miss Delacur showed excellent use of the Bubble Helmet Spell, but was attacked by the grindylows as she approached the target and failed to rescue the hostage; we finally gave it 20 points. The stands emerged to scant applause
I should get zero points said Fleur smiled bitterly, and also looked at her sister.
- Second Mr. Uchiha used the bubble helmet spell, he also used the wind spell to increase his speed, then he used a deformation spell on the ground to create a platform and rescue the hostages achieved amazing results. Mr. Bagman paused: "Mr. Uchiha only took 10 minutes to find the target, due to his noble heart he decided to wait for the other champions to appear for 20 minutes but when they didn't appear he rescued everyone facing hundreds of sirens and He managed to escape. It took him 10 minutes to bring them all. We gave him 50 points.
50 points Hermione said as she clung to Sasuke, she was so happy she was crazy: Great!
Slytherin erupted into thunderous applause.
Sasuke saw numerous green and silver flags flying in the stands.
Right The Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw stands were also applauded, and in the Gryffindor stand, the applause was a bit sparse.
- Third to Mr. Potter for the correct use of the braquialgae, but he was caught by the mermaids, we give him 25 points. In the Gryffindor rostrum, the applause was a little thin like the other houses
- Fourth to Mr. Krum for using the partial transformation spell on himself to breathe underwater, but because he was also caught we give him 25 points the applause was scarce.
The final score was:
- Fleur Delacur 59 points
- Sasuke Uchiha 100 points
-Harry Potter 65 points
- Victor Krum 65 points
Ludo Bagman informed the four warriors and told them that the third project will take place on the afternoon of June 24.
In the same way, they will know the specific content of the project one month in advance.
The final score of the first two projects determines the time for the third project to enter the arena... Each advantage is one minute ahead of the game.
That the first to enter would be Sasuke, followed by Harry and Victor, and finally Fleur.
"This score is not fair!" "Professor Karkarov continues to make for the last fight but no one paid attention to him, and the second full project came to an end!
Lady Pomfrey began to escort the hostages and Champions back to the castle
