Sorcerer Supreme at Hogwarts (English Versión)-Chapter 135: .
"What is this...? It looks like Fleur Delacour is having trouble." said Ludo as everyone watched Fleur's screen, where seaweed that seemed to have a life of its own was trying to capture her.
Fleur quickly pulled out her wand and cast a magical slash, destroying all the seaweed around her at once.
"It seems that concern was unnecessary." said Ludo as everyone sighed in relief at seeing her safe.
"In Wanda's place, it looks like she got lost with her hippocampus and is asking a... giant squid for directions. You know what, let's just consider everything she does as normal." said Ludo quickly.
"--------------
"What's this? It looks like Harry is the first to reach the hostage area." said Ludo excitedly.
"Hello, Harry, you got here first." said Stephen as he sat calmly.
"Stephen? Hermione and Daphne, you're the hostages?" said Harry quickly.
"Yes. But if you think for a second that I'm your most precious treasure, I'll kick your ass." said Stephen quickly.
"Did the princess come to rescue her... princess?" said Wanda as she approached at full speed riding a horse with a fish tail.
"Here you go, milady." she said chivalrously as she offered her hand to Daphne. Daphne, with a smile, took it and climbed onto the hippocampus's back, which then shot toward the surface.
"Hurry, Harry, you have to take my hand so I can lift myself up." said Hermione quickly, urging him on.
"But what about Stephen?" said Harry as a mermaid approached him with a trident.
"Only one."
Then suddenly, Fleur appeared in her mermaid form and grabbed Stephen quickly.
"See you above." said Stephen with a smile.
"Ahh, Harry, you're such a fool! Hurry." said Hermione, urging Harry, who quickly took her hand and started swimming toward the surface.
"-------------
"Hmm. Wait, Fleur, stop for a second." said Stephen while looking behind him.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems someone wants to interfere with the competition." said Stephen as he looked in the direction where Harry should be.
"-----------
Harry, meanwhile, as he swam to the surface, started seeing little grindylows beginning to surround him. He sped up, but it seemed the gillyweed was starting to lose its effect.
Then, the grindylows began grabbing Hermione and Harry.
"Harry, use your wand!" said Hermione while kicking at the grindylow trying to bite her leg.
Harry quickly pulled out his wand and started casting spells while still trying to swim upward. But the effect of the gillyweed ended, and he was starting to run out of oxygen.
"Harry!" Hermione said worriedly, realizing he might lose consciousness. She quickly brought her face close to Harry's so he could breathe with the bubble she had.
"Ahh!" Harry quickly took a breath and then moved his wand forcefully.

"Ascendio!" And with that spell, he shot toward the surface.
Meanwhile, Stephen sighed and gestured for Fleur to also head to the surface.
Harry emerged literally a second after Fleur, while holding Hermione with him.
Then Viktor surfaced, looking annoyed for having to rescue a boy as his most precious treasure.
Meanwhile, everyone in the stands kept shouting with excitement.
Then, the champions and the hostages emerged from the water while the nurse quickly checked them, complaining that these games were madness.
"Harry, are you okay?" said Hermione with concern, noticing that he had swallowed quite a bit of water.
"I'm fine." said Harry quickly. "Although I thought magical creatures wouldn't attack me." he said as he looked at his arms and legs covered in bites.
"Someone threw a fury potion into the water. Luckily, only those things absorbed it. If it had been the squid..." said Stephen, appearing behind him while drying his hair with magic.
"What? Someone tried to kill us?" said Harry quickly.
"You, obviously." said Stephen.
"ATTENTION!" shouted Dumbledore to make everyone fall silent, as the excitement in the stands was so loud that Ludo couldn't be heard.
Then, everyone quickly fell silent as they waited for the results.
"So, the winner is Wanda Flamel, who used a mount completely taken from fantasy and rescued the hostage in a masterful way, earning the highest score," said Ludo as all the Hogwarts students applauded.
"The second place was a bit of a close call since only by a mere second difference both emerged from the water, so it was decided they tied, with only 5 points less than the first place. These are Fleur Delacour and Harry Potter Flamel." Once again, everyone started cheering with excitement, this time both the Hogwarts and Beauxbatons students.
"And the last place goes to Viktor Krum," said Ludo as the Durmstrang students applauded without much enthusiasm. Even Grindelwald shook his head in disappointment.
Then, everyone left and walked away from the lake while still celebrating.

Harry walked with a big smile alongside the others, but suddenly he stopped and looked in a direction, staring intently at one of the competition administrators.
"What's wrong, Harry?" asked Ron, looking at him with confusion.
"That man... Can you see him?" said Harry quickly.
"Yes, he's one of Ludo's assistants. What about him?" asked Hermione.
"That fog surrounding him, what is it?" he asked quickly.
"Fog? What are you talking about? There's no fog anywhere." said Ron with concern.
"You can't see it... It's a black mist completely surrounding him. It's just like when that hippogriff died." said Harry quickly.
"What hippogriff? Maybe the grindylow bites were poisonous. It's better if we go to the infirmary." said Ron, sounding worried.
Stephen, who was behind them, heard the conversation and looked at the guy Harry was pointing at intently, but he couldn't see anything either. Then, he shifted his gaze to Harry while thinking about something.
"Give me your glasses, Harry." said Stephen out of nowhere.
"My glasses? What for?" said Harry as he took them off and handed them over.
"Here." said Stephen after doing something to them and handing them back to Harry. Then he started walking calmly alongside Fleur.
Harry put his glasses back on, still confused, but when he looked again at the guy from before, now he looked completely normal. It was probably Stephen's doing. But it was better to ask him later; right now, he needed to rest and heal the bite wounds all over his body.
"--------------
"What was that?" asked Wanda, approaching Stephen.
"Harry's power is awakening. Or maybe our blood is awakening a power that should be his." said Stephen seriously.
"Will it be dangerous?" asked Wanda.
"All our powers are dangerous. And we still don't even know why we have them." said Stephen calmly. "It's time to head back; I don't want to catch a cold."
"Fools don't catch colds." said Wanda mockingly.

As Hagrid walked with the golden trio through the forest, they chatted cheerfully. Harry saw someone lying on the ground not far away.
It was the same guy he had seen earlier, Ludo's assistant. They quickly alerted the teachers, and Harry was called to the headmaster's office, where Dumbledore and the professors were arguing heatedly with the Minister of Magic.
"A man died." said Sirius angrily.
"And he won't be the last. We must do something." said Dumbledore quickly.
"Nothing will be done. In times like these, the wizarding world needs its leaders to be strong." shouted Fudge quickly.
"My grandson was the one who saw his corpse. Are you an idiot with a head full of power who can't see clearly?" shouted Perenelle angrily.
"The Triwizard Tournament cannot be canceled. Otherwise, I will look like a coward." said Fudge, trying not to look in the direction of Perenelle and Nicolas, two people with great economic and political power.
"A true leader does what is right, no matter what others say." said Dumbledore quickly.
"What did you mean by that?" said Fudge defensively while glaring at Dumbledore angrily.
"Alright, stop it. Harry is here." said Nicolas, stopping the argument.
Then Sirius went to open the door.
Harry slowly entered, looking at all the professors present and the Minister of Magic, who quickly approached him with a friendly smile.
"Harry, good to see you." greeted the Minister.
"If you want, I can come back later." said Harry.
"Don't worry, Harry. The Minister and I have to leave now. You can talk to the professors. And you can try the snacks." said Dumbledore as he escorted Fudge out along with the other professors, leaving only the Flamel couple and Sirius.
Perenelle quickly approached Harry with a worried look.
"Sigh... Is it still too late to send everyone to study at Beauxbatons?" she said as she looked at her husband.
"A little, but I don't think the kids want to change schools when they have so many friends who could be in danger." said Nicolas quickly.
"Especially Hogwarts, which is the alma mater of Harry's parents." said Sirius quickly.
"Come on, Harry. Let's steal some snacks from that brat Albus and look for your siblings." said Nicolas with a smile.
