Chapter 485: Second Task

Hagrid's IQ had no big problem. What was wrong was his perspective on the world and his way of dealing with problems. In most cases, he was relatively normal, and in a few cases, he was actually just a half-giant without emotional intelligence. "It's normal, after seeing what a real giant looks like, of course, you know his thinking is very normal." Bai Lang didn't intend to see Hagrid. Everyone was an adult. Bai Lang believed he could solve the problem himself—otherwise, wasn't there a Dumbledore?

Now that Voldemort was almost finished, Dumbledore didn't need to continue to train Harry Potter—and Bai Lang decided to say nothing and let Harry continue to be trained. This was good for him and it was also quite fun, wasn't it?

In short, it was not bad to see the crazy Peeves again at Hogwarts. Peeves was now becoming more and more crazy—this was a ghost belonging to Hogwarts, which made Peeves unique. Bai Lang was very happy to add some ingredients to Peeves's madness—for example, in terms of violent fighting. Having cultivated the magic martial arts of Asura Douluo, Bai Lang also wanted Neville to see it, so he was now fighting Peeves empty-handed.

Peeves was torn into strips, but Peeves wouldn't die. Peeves would conjure up things like muskets and cannons from the void—all 18th-century muzzle-loading things. In this regard, Hogwarts seemed to have kept pace with the times in the past, but at a certain point in time, the entire magic world stagnated. Peeves used cannons to bombard Bai Lang, while Bai Lang shouted that you have magic and I have divine skills, and caught the cannonballs with one hand.

This cannonball was black powder, and the power was not very great—the gunpowder configured by wizards was definitely not the best ratio, and they also added messy potion ingredients, resulting in the iron ball flying out visible to the naked eye. Bai Lang only needed to catch it and then unload the force—ordinary people really couldn't do it, unless it was a martial arts master like Bai Lang, combined with magic martial arts that could control magic power... So you have magic and I have divine skills is as expected.

The second task of the competition came in the play with Peeves. This time the viewing place was by the Black Lake. The students watching the battle indeed cheered for the champions, but more attention was on the school bully Bai Lang—perhaps they wanted to see how this person would pretend to be cool this time. "Don't look at me, I'm not good at water battles, so you will be disappointed this time. I won't pretend to be cool this time."

He muttered here, and no one could hear it except Neville beside him... Ludo Bagman had come among the champions and ordered them to line up on the shore, ten feet apart. Harry was the last one, right next to Krum. Krum was wearing swimming trunks and had already taken out his wand, ready. "Listen up, everyone, our champions are all in place. When I blow the whistle, the second task begins. They have a full hour to take back the things that were snatched from their hands. I count to three. One... two... three!"

Harry Potter quickly took out a bunch of things he didn't know what they were and ate them, then walked into the Black Lake amidst the laughter of Slytherin, and then he dived down. And Krum jumped into the water, his head turned into a shark head... "Transfiguration." Bai Lang also sighed, "The appearance of this transformation is quite majestic."

About an hour later, everyone surfaced—the French woman was the most useless one. She surfaced the earliest and returned empty-handed. Now she was going crazy and wanted to go back into the water to save her sister. And the others all brought their friends, while Harry brought two people. "Harry is doomed to win this time." Bai Lang made a verdict, "Hey, don't look at me like that, I will never go into the water!"

This February in Scotland was surprisingly cold, go into the water? Unless Bai Lang was crazy, it was possible. And what to do in the water? Go challenge the giant squid or the grindylow that might be in the Black Lake? The dragon was knocked down by him, and these magical creatures were nothing at all.

The competition ended, Harry got 45 points, and now he was tied with Cedric. The next competition would be in June, and after it ended, it should be summer vacation.

"She really took my words as a deaf ear." Bai Lang muttered after looking at the report of the Daily Prophet, "It's a pity that I can't go to Diagon Alley for the time being, otherwise I could talk to her boss about the truth." He chuckled and said, Zabini curled his lips, "Give her a lesson she will never forget. It's not for Harry and the others, just because she dared not take your words seriously, boss."

"I said don't call me that, Zabini. You can call me Shao Bao, I allow you to call me that." Bai Lang patted his Slytherin follower.

The rumor-mongering reporter's rumors directly compiled Harry and Hermione into it, writing it in a way that made people laugh—of course, it also involved Hagrid. Snape caught them watching the magazine and read the report sentence by sentence—so the Slytherin students burst into laughter, of course, led by Malfoy, and Bai Lang was also among those laughing. As a result, his laughter also drove many Gryffindor students to laugh—because combined with Snape's tone, this report was indeed too ridiculous.

Harry was full of resentment, but Bai Lang walked over and patted him, "Brother, you are the one who has been rumored the most among us. Relax, laugh. If you have a chance, hang this woman on the spire of the Gryffindor tower."

Was he telling the truth or a lie? Harry Potter couldn't confirm it by looking at Bai Lang's face. With this person's violence, he might really do it. "How long do you want to stay in Azkaban? Mr. Langen? Gryffindor loses ten points!"

"Professor, I don't think the Ministry of Magic will send me there. And I think Azkaban shouldn't be able to lock me up hahahaha." There was no need to say this kind of talk, so Bai Lang said in his heart. Whether it was Snape or Karkaroff, these two former Death Eaters had been very calm recently, perhaps because their Dark Lord had just suffered a big loss—Bai Lang was still counting on the Portkey of the third round to take him to Voldemort.

Later, Malfoy didn't know why he had a conflict with Harry Potter—this was normal, but it was rare for the two to fight with fists and feet. Malfoy broke Harry's nose, which bled a lot, and Harry pulled a strand of Malfoy's blonde hair and turned Malfoy's eye socket blue. For this reason, old Malfoy came to make a big fuss, but in the end, he returned without success—Harry Potter could not be expelled.

Was the change on a day in April or earlier? Anyway, after Bai Lang got up in the morning, he found that the students of Durmstrang were like headless flies, because their headmaster was missing... and Snape also became very depressed, and Dumbledore couldn't be seen at all. Harry Potter also lay on the bed and couldn't get up—because of the tearing pain of the scar on his forehead. Madam Pomfrey also came to see, but there was no way, so she could only let Harry take painkillers. ===== CHAPTER 486 =====
