Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Gillweed? Is this thing useful?"

Ron looked at the thing in Harry's hand and couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Harry had just told him the contents of the second project a few days ago.

"Theoretically it is useful. I asked Neville." Harry shook the herbs in his hand. To be honest, he wasn't completely sure, but this was the best solution he had now.

"Theoretically?" Ron's eyes widened, "Harry, stop joking, there is a competition tomorrow."

"I'm not kidding." Harry put the herb aside and forced himself to calm down.

With the end of the first competition event, Harry and Louis's voice at Hogwarts became increasingly louder and louder, so much so that when the second event was about to begin, passers-by and students were almost crazy about it. This was different from the previous situation.

Completely different.

However, another person who was at the center of the topic took a Slytherin girl for a walk around the castle on the eve of the second game, and did not look like she wanted to compete at all.

"Um...are you ready? Tomorrow's project."

Holding Astoria's hand, they enjoyed this hard-won time alone, and at the edge of the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts Castle, no one would disturb her.

"To be honest, I didn't." Louis shook his head honestly, "But I can assure you that nothing will happen to me."

"Really?" Astoria tilted her head and looked at the boy. Ever since they kissed and attended the grand dance, their relationship was developing rapidly.

Astoria now seems happy to be held by Louis like this.

Facing tomorrow's underwater sports, Louis really did not prepare himself. At least, he would not be able to breathe in the water for an hour. But his lack of preparation does not mean that he cannot participate in the competition.

Lius in the Eternal Stone had a brilliant idea, but he did not tell Louis about this method. He just asked Louis to dive with confidence tomorrow.

Although he didn’t know what the old man was doing, Louis let him do it out of trust in the old man.

"Is this really not cheating?"

"You brat, who would know if you don't tell me." Lius hit Lewis on the head with his wand, "Besides, in this competition of yours, you have a lot of cheating before."

"The Stone of Eternal Life has been integrated with your body and mind. Strictly speaking, this is also part of your own strength. How can it be considered cheating?"

"So, does that mean I can basically dominate the world in the future?" Louis looked at his hands and felt a little unrealistic. If Lius' strength could be erupted through stones, he would probably be more powerful than Voldemort.

"It's a nice thought. Although that's what I say, using magic through stones will reduce the power of the spell. There are many limiting factors, and..." Lius paused, "Unless your life is in danger, I won't take action.

."

Louis nodded. Although he was a little disappointed, he understood that the power in the stone was after all an external force and not his own original power. However, Lius told him that if the several seals placed in his body by the vampire Dracula could be

If it is unlocked, his strength will increase exponentially.

"Louis, Louis!"

Astoria looked at Louis in a daze, and she shook her head vigorously in front of his eyes.

"I'm here." Her thoughts were brought back, and Louis came to her side again.

"You can give up if you feel the pressure is too great." Astoria said with some worry, she was afraid that Louis would do something outrageous, "Really, Louis, you are only thirteen years old."

"What are you talking about?" Louis smiled and held Astoria in his arms, "I will also take you on your honeymoon with the bonus."

"Who wants to go on their honeymoon with you?" Astoria didn't expect Louis to be so bold, but she only struggled briefly before falling softly on him.

"Ahem..."

A quick cough broke the two's calm, and then heavy footsteps sounded from behind them.

"Miss Greengrass, you are here, it's really a treat for me."

That husky voice was already familiar to Louis. It was none other than their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Alastor Moody.

"What...what's wrong...Professor Moody."

Astoria quickly got up from Louis and straightened her messy hair. Her tone was a little flustered, her head lowered, and she glanced at Moody guiltily, as if she was afraid that this strict professor would find out something.

But the old Auror was not interested in the kind of personal relationship between men and women at all. On the contrary, the mixed-race giant Hagrid standing next to him looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"Professor McGonagall asked me to find you in her office. Right away, right away." Moody said quickly.

"Okay...Okay, I'll go now!" Astoria glanced at Louis, and then left with Moody. Louis knew what mission Astoria would have here, and this was the relevant

Contents for the second project tomorrow.

"Hagrid? When did you come back?"

Looking at the tired-looking hybrid giant, Louis felt quite happy, at least confirming that Hagrid was safe.

"This morning, I have actually been helping Dumbledore prepare for the second game." Hagrid replied, "I can only say that you have to work hard, Louis, the second game will be more difficult than the last one."

Hagrid has extensive experience in raising magical animals, and Dumbledore probably arranged for him to place some dangerous magical creatures in the Black Lake for the competition, including, of course, appeasing the restless natives, the mermaids.

This should also be the most difficult part of the second project. Mermaids themselves are magical creatures with intelligence, and their fighting power in the water is even more invincible. Although they should have negotiated with Dumbledore not to harm those warriors, if they are provoked,

These mermaids probably have no sense of measure when it comes to their actions.

"Let's go, Louis, it's getting late today. I'll take you back to the castle." Hagrid patted Louis on the back with his big hand.

"Will you come to the game tomorrow, Hagrid?"

"Of course, I don't think everyone in Hogwarts wants to miss this feast."

When Louis returned to the common room, Harry was alone. According to him, Hermione and Ron had been sent away by Professor McGonagall half an hour ago and have not returned yet.

It seems that Louis was not wrong. Hermione, Ron and Astoria will become the people in the second project that the warriors need to rescue in the water. The secrets mentioned in the golden eggs are the most precious things for the warriors.

was taken away (Harry shared it with Louis after knowing the secret, so Louis' golden egg has never been opened so far), then there is another one hidden under the Black Lake, who is undoubtedly Fleur's sister Gabrielle

.

"They won't come back tonight, but it won't be a bad thing." Louis yawned, "Go to bed early, Harry."

"Well, okay, I'll go to sleep after reading this chapter." Harry stared at the book in his hand, and Louis took a glance and found that it was actually a book on herbal medicine.

"I borrowed it from Neville. He said that this book was given to him by Professor Moody." Harry explained, "Do you think this book can find the effects of Gillweed..."

The last sentence was spoken softly, as if he was talking to himself. Louis did not answer him, but walked straight towards the dormitory.

Lying down on the bed, Louis soon fell asleep...
