Foolishness
They never knew what had made the wizards agree that it would be a good idea to have the younger witches and wizards invade their lake for some competition or the other. The lake was dangerous, there was another deeper but less dangerous lake just a couple of miles outside Hogwarts that they could use.
They had only agreed to host the wizards after some arguments. There were still quite a few of the mer who had complaints about being forced to host the wizards. They never really had a choice especially with that newer contract the wizard government had forced them to agree to, they did not have anywhere else they could move to because each mer population had their own territories and Hogwarts had been their territories ever since the great Titanus had won it from Greamlin before Hogwarts had been founded.
There were quite a few of the mer who had decided not to help and had chosen to remain in the communal place where they made alcohol, or well their version of the strong liquid. He doubted they would have a lot left in storage after today.
He had to present though as the Chieftain of the tribe. He wished he did not have to meet that foolish old wizard afterwards as was arranged, but that had been the agreement.
