With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

Upon hearing this, many professors blushed.

Modern magic is not advanced; Levin's magic is clearly advanced.

However, everyone could hear one thing from her words:

This "fairy of the lake" did indeed know about the three-way battle for supremacy—or, she might very well be, as Levin said, an "unofficial safety officer" he invited.

Then, the fairy's words confirmed this.

She waved at the Arcane Eye: "Hey, can you see me, Levin?"

That intimate tone of addressing each other by name—it would be strange if there wasn't something going on between them.

All the spectators and judges looked at Levin with astonishment.

Levin, however, seemed completely oblivious, his eyes glued to the screen.

The fairy continued, "I have completed the task I promised you. Now, God... the giant squid has returned to normal and will no longer pose a threat to the warriors."

She paused, then her tone became serious: "Also, I must remind you that the giant squid in Black Lake is actually very gentle. Its madness is entirely due to human intervention. Dangerous individuals are trying to interfere in the Triwizard Tournament, so you need to be careful."

"That's all I have to say. If you need anything, you know how to find me. I'm always here."

Having said that, in full view of everyone, the female immortal transformed into specks of light and vanished into thin air, just as she had appeared out of nowhere.

Only then did this grand drama officially come to an end.

This sudden battle, and the resulting torrential rain, came on strong and went away just as quickly.

The students, however, thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, chattering excitedly as they discussed the bizarre scene they had just witnessed.

Whether it's the fairy in the lake, the giant squid, the terrifying waterspout, or the fairy in the lake's final warning to Levin, all of these are worth revisiting.

When did such a thing appear in the Black Lake at Hogwarts?

How did Levin meet her?

Who sabotaged the giant squid?

All of this sparked heated discussions.

Instead, nobody cared about the game anymore.

The referees also surrounded Levin, hoping he would offer some explanation regarding the "Lady of the Lake."

Especially Dumbledore.

There was no way around it; with such a powerful neighbor suddenly appearing at Hogwarts, as the headmaster, he naturally had to pay some attention.

Faced with their questions, Levin patiently explained one by one:

"...I don't know if she is the Fairy of the Lake, but based on her form of existence, you can indeed consider her to be something similar to the Fairy of the Lake..."

"...Yes, she has indeed been at Hogwarts for a very long time. Strictly speaking, she has been here since the very beginning of the school's founding..."

"...I only discovered her in the last two years, and only recently have I been trying to find a way to wake her up..."

"...Don't worry, she won't harbor any hostility towards Hogwarts. In a way, she's actually a protector of Hogwarts..."

"...Yes, she agreed to help me because she was grateful that I woke her up..."

Levin finally managed to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

At the same time, it subtly conveyed incorrect information.

Now, in their hearts, this mysterious woman is an ancient lake fairy who has been guarding Black Lake since before the school was founded.

However, because the Fairy of the Lake was in a state of slumber for a long time, there is not much record of her in Hogwarts' history, apart from a few rumors.

It was Levin who woke her up, and that's why she was willing to help Levin with some small favors.

Levin did not lie at all, but he misled everyone by using several real "fairy in the lake" rumors in the school's history.

In fact, the so-called "fairy maiden of the lake" legends are widespread in all regions of the Yin Kingdom, just like the local legends of gods and ghosts that circulate in every village.

Even many of the so-called "Lake Fairy" legends themselves originated from wizarding activities witnessed by Muggles.

It's just that ignorant Muggles mistake wizards for "the Fairy of the Lake."

Basically, Muggles mistake wizards for the Lady of the Lake.

The legend of the Lake Fairy spread.

The wizard, upon hearing this, also believed in the existence of a lake fairy...

Levin was able to successfully mislead Dumbledore and his companions, preventing them from mistaking the "Fairy of the Lake" for a powerful wizard.

It relies on its bizarre entrance and spellcasting methods.

But to put it bluntly,

This kind of sudden appearance and disappearance...

It's actually the ability of heroic spirits to materialize.

That spellcasting method that doesn't require a wand at all

This originates from the spellcasting ability that has been elevated through legend.

To put it bluntly, it's all the work of Heroic Spirits.

However, combined with the widely circulated rumors about the Lake Fairy, the spirit Rowena Ravenclaw has been definitively confirmed as the Lake Fairy.

Just as Levin was explaining, the remaining three warriors (Zhao Dehao) who had survived being swallowed by the giant squid were finally able to finish the rest of the game.

By this time, the one-hour match time had long since ended.

About five minutes later, Krum was the fourth to return to shore with the hostages.

Polyakov was sixth.

Poor Estella Dumont,

She could have come in fourth place.

As a result, the giant squid's attack interrupted her return journey.

She herself was dragged away by the giant squid.

The hostages have disappeared without a trace.

After the danger subsided, Estella had to search the vast lakebed.

Finally, before all the audience fell asleep, with the help of the mermaids, they managed to retrieve their hostage.

Fortunately, the fake death potion provided by Dumbledore was of good quality.

Otherwise, her hostages would most likely wake up halfway through and then suffocate in the water.

Finally, all the warriors and hostages reached the shore.

Chapter 381 Blocking the News

In the gentle breeze by the lake, Dumbledore and the old merman chieftain were having a close conversation, learning about everything that had just happened in the water.

Although there are live recordings for reference, the descriptions from the mermaid are also indispensable.

Finally, Dumbledore straightened up, slowly turned to the other judges, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have a meeting before we start scoring."

The six referees walked into the tent in unison, sat together, and each had a different expression on their face.

Five of them looked at Karkarov with a knowing smile, waiting for his performance.

As expected, Karkaroff clearly did not disappoint; he jumped up first, as always.

His eyes widened, and he said indignantly, "I think the results of this round should be invalidated! Everyone needs to play a rematch!"

Ah, it's the same familiar taste... It's been consistent since the first round of the competition.

That's Karkaroff's style; he can't stand being at a disadvantage, and if he is, he'll insist on a rematch.

But a rematch is impossible; it's never going to happen again.

Mrs. Maxim even rolled her eyes.

She had already made up her mind.

Hermione was first, and Fleur was second.

They were students of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, respectively.

Although Estella, who came in last place, was also a Beauxbatons player, the Triwizard Tournament only added a team element, rather than being a true team competition.

There can only be one champion in the end.

Therefore, Mrs. Maxim would not sacrifice Fleur's grades for Estella.

Those two principals must be out of their minds to agree to a rematch!

Is it because both of your Durmstrang players are near the bottom of this round?

Karkaroff frowned and said with a look of suspicion, "We all know that there was an unexpected situation at the bottom of Black Lake just now. The lake fairy said that the giant squid went mad because it was disturbed by humans... I suspect that all the magical creatures in the lake actually went mad, which is why the difficulty has increased so much."

He gestured with his finger in the air to emphasize his point:

"A match completed under such abnormal circumstances cannot possibly showcase the Warriors' true strength. To hastily settle the results is extremely unfair to the Warriors. Is that alright? It's not! I urge you two, you two, not to be biased towards your students!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Maxim's eyes widened as if she had been offended.

With her hands on her hips, she retorted without backing down, "Any situation that occurs underwater is part of the competition. Even if there are some unexpected events, all the competitors are in the same environment, so overall it's fair."

A mocking smile played on her lips as she scoffed at Karkarov's complaints.

"Why is the Giant Squid only targeting Durmstrang's Warriors and not Granger, Fleur, and Porter? It's because they dragged it out for too long. If you're not good enough, don't blame the format."

Dumbledore frowned, his gaze sweeping across the lake as if deep in thought. He spoke slowly, "Don't talk like that now, Igor! We need to think about how to deal with potential trouble, not whether to replay the match!"

His voice was deep and serious, reminding everyone present: "I believe that the person the Lady of the Lake spoke of who drove the giant squid mad was the one who used the Confusion Charm on the Goblet of Fire, forcing Harry Potter to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. The conspiracy behind all of this is very likely related to Voldemort."

Karkaroff initially wanted to argue, but when Dumbledore finally addressed Voldemort by his first name, he immediately deflated, his expression turning one of utter terror.

He quickly covered the black demon mark on his arm as if he had been burned.

This time, he didn't act unreasonably as usual, nor did he stubbornly argue with Dumbledore.
