Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 71 Competition Speculation, Christmas Ball

"In Muggle fairy tales, they are usually depicted as sitting on rocks singing sweet songs. The most famous one is a fairy tale called "The Daughter of the Sea".

However, wizards who hear this story often laugh out loud, because only they know that the real mermaid is not actually like that.

Perhaps the only thing that is correct in this story is that the mermaids' songs are indeed sweet, and of course that requires you to put your head into the water where they live. "

"Ah, this is it!" Hermione pointed to the paragraph just now.

"If you want to hear the beautiful singing of mermaids, you must put your head into the water, because mermaids are magical creatures living in the water, and their communication is also carried out underwater."

"So, the scream in the golden egg is the mermaid's song?" Neville only reacted after hearing this, "In other words, we have to open the golden egg underwater?"

Clark nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come on, let's listen to what secrets are hidden in the singing in the golden egg." Hermione said impatiently.

Clark smiled and did not refuse. He and Hermione packed their things, left the library, and returned to the Gryffindor dormitory.

"We have to get some water first," Neville said, looking at the golden egg Clark took out from under the bed, "How about we go to the lake?"

"No!" Hermione said immediately, "There are too many people there, it's not suitable."

After saying that, she hesitated, "We'd better turn it on in the bathtub."

Without delay, the three of them went to the boys' bathroom in the common room and filled the pool with water.

Clark placed the golden egg under the water, opened it... and this time it didn't scream.

A gurgling song came from the golden egg. The song came from under the water and was very weak. The three of them couldn't hear what it was singing at all.

"Looks like we need to get our heads under water," Hermione said. "Come on."

They took a deep breath and got under the water - now, the three underwater heads could hear some strange voices singing in unison in the opened golden egg:

Seek us, where our voices ring, we cannot sing on the earth.

When you arrive, the sky and the earth begin to flip, and red and blue mix.

Speed ​​up your search, here are your most beloved treasures and also your most disgusted trash.

You can save or abandon, but you only have one hour.

After an hour there is no hope, it is gone, never to be seen again.

The three Clarks pulled their heads out of the water and shook their heads to get their hair out of their eyes.

"Did you hear that? What does that mean?" Neville asked curiously,

He has never been very good at word guessing like this.

"You have to look for those who can't make a sound on the ground!" Hermione analyzed carefully: "We have seen this in the book before. The people who can't make a sound on the ground refer to mermaids."

"'Speed ​​up the pace of your search. Here are your most beloved treasures, and also your most disgusted trash.' This shows that there is something there among the fishmen that warriors need to find.

‘You can save or abandon, but you only have one hour. ’ That’s supposed to be the time limit of the game, you can choose to save that thing or you can choose to throw it away, but it’s only an hour.

Wait, the word ‘saved’ is used here, which means that the thing is a living creature, maybe even a person!

In other words, the second level requires you to go deep into the water and save your most beloved person from the mermaid, and the time is only one hour.

After an hour, 'hope is gone, it is gone, never to come again'. "

Neville watched dumbfoundedly as Hermione analyzed and constructed a complete game content.

However, according to her, there are other unresolved issues in this song.

"What does it mean when you arrive, the sky and the earth begin to flip, and red and blue mix together? And what does it mean that there is also the rubbish you hate most?"

Could it be that the mermaid kidnapped the Warriors' most beloved and most hated people at the same time and asked them to choose between them? "

Neville's question made Hermione stunned. Indeed, there was something she couldn't explain properly about the singing.

She looked up at Clark, asking for his opinion.

Clark thought for a while, then smiled slightly, "Thank you for your analysis, Hermione. I should have the answer."

"What do you mean?" The two looked at him curiously.

"The fish people live in the sea and lakes, just like we live in the air, so what they call 'the sky and the earth begin to reverse' should mean that the sea and the bottom of the sea begin to reverse.

And the color of the water is blue, so I think this sentence should refer to a huge submarine earthquake. Only in this way will there be a situation where "red and blue are confused". "

"Undersea earthquake!" Hermione was startled at first, and then a look of realization appeared on her face, "I see, that makes sense."

"It seems that the mission of the second project requires you to save enough people from a catastrophe. But what this song means is that not only will there be warriors like you, but there will also be heroes you like or don't like. Throw in everyone you like?"

Upon hearing this, Neville looked first at Hermione, then at Clark, and then smiled meaningfully.

Of course Hermione understood what he meant and glared at him dissatisfied, "What are you looking at? Look again. Then I will throw you into the second project and see if Clark will save you."

Neville suppressed a smile and said, "Of course he won't save me. He has more important people to save."

Clark looked at the two bickering people and could only helplessly shake his head.

In the days that followed, Hermione and Neville began to make suggestions for Clark, discussing how to deal with mermaids underwater and save more people in a catastrophe.

But Clark doesn't seem too anxious about this. After all, the second project will not start until the end of February next year, and they still have three months to prepare.

On the contrary, another thing may be regarded as imminent.

The time soon came to Thursday.

One cold afternoon, Professor McGonagall's annoyed voice crackled like a whip in the Transfiguration classroom.

"Potter! Come on Wes! Can you guys pay attention?"

Harry and Ron were startled by the sound and raised their heads in surprise.

The class was almost over at this time, and they completed the work assigned by Professor McGonagall, turning a guinea fowl into a guinea pig.

They had also copied the homework on the blackboard into their notebooks ("Try to give an example of how the transformation spell must be adjusted when performing cross-species transformation").

This is the advanced Transfiguration required of fourth-year students at Hogwarts: transforming one creature into another.

The three Clarks all had difficulty with this, because their profession was really not very good at biological transformation, which was what the [Transformation] among the eight major factions of mages were good at.

This also made Professor McGonagall very dissatisfied. Seeing that Clark and Hermione were still unable to master this spell after one class, she vented her anger on the "poor students".

For example, because get out of class was about to end, Harry and Ron were showing off their sword skills in the back row of the classroom with two fake wands invented by Fred and George.

Ron held a tin-plated parrot, Harry a rubber haddock.

"Can Potter and Weiss behave in an age-appropriate manner?" said Professor McGonagall, giving them both an angry look.

At this moment, Harry's haddock head fell off and fell silently to the floor - Ron's parrot's sharp beak had cut it off -

"I have something to say to all of you." Professor McGonagall glared at them again and turned to the others in the classroom.

“As you may all know, the Yule Ball is coming up – a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to mingle with our foreign guests.

Well, the dance is only open to students in fourth grade and above - but if you want, you can invite a junior student - "

Lavender Brown let out a harsh giggle, and Parvati Patil nudged her hard, and the muscles in Parvati's own face tensed as she fought not to laugh.

Professor McGonagall ignored them and continued:

"Wear your formal robes at the dance, which is scheduled for eight o'clock on Christmas Eve in the Great Hall and ends at twelve midnight. Listen—"

However, the students no longer had the intention to listen to what she was saying. The sound in the classroom was so noisy that it was hard to believe that this was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

The bell rang, and as usual, the students stuffed their books into their bags and hurriedly walked out of the classroom.

Professor McGonagall waved to Clark and shouted in the noise: "Clark, as a warrior, you must have a dance partner. According to past practice, the dance is held by warriors and their partners... Although this year's There are a lot of warriors..."

Professor McGonagall's voice made the entire teacher fall silent, and everyone, or rather all the girls, looked at Clark.

Otherwise, as a girl, having the opportunity to dance with the warriors in front of everyone's attention is definitely a wonderful experience worth remembering for a lifetime.

"I understand, Professor." Clark nodded. He felt countless passionate eyes shooting at him like bullets. As a [Psychic], he was quite sensitive to this aspect.

But he had already thought about the dance partner, so just after Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he smiled and asked Hermione next to him, "Hermione, will you go to the dance with me?"

Clark's voice was loud and clear enough for the entire classroom to hear.

The boys were first shocked by his boldness, and then looked at him with envy, not because of how beautiful Hermione was, but because Clark could complete this difficult task so easily.

In contrast, the expressions of the girls were much richer and more exciting, some were shocked, some were annoyed, some were disappointed, and some were even angry. Anyway, they all looked at Hermione with unkind eyes.

Of course Hermione noticed the looks these people were looking at her, but as proud as she was, she didn't care.

"Okay!" she replied decisively, without hesitation for a second.

The two of them smiled and spread dog food to the students in the classroom, and left the classroom together. Even Neville did not follow them to prevent them from being hurt again.

But not everyone can complete the task as easily and simply as Hermione and Clark. For Harry and Ron, compared to the challenge of finding a girl to dance with, they felt that they would rather fight the fire dragon for a few rounds on Clark's behalf.

Time passes day by day, Christmas is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the school is getting more and more lively.

Almost all the students in grade four and above chose to stay in school because they couldn't refuse the Christmas dance - at least all the girls were like this.

Harry and Ron were suddenly surprised to find that Hogwarts accommodated so many girls. They had never noticed it before.

As the Yule Ball approaches, the girls often gather in the hallways, giggling, heads lowered and whispering about what to wear on Christmas night.

Whenever a boy walked past them, they would laugh loudly and exchange ideas excitedly.

"Why do they all move in groups?"

After dinner, when Harry came out of the auditorium, he specifically approached Clark for advice. At this time, a dozen girls were walking by, looking at Harry and giggling secretly.

"How can we wait until they are alone and catch one of them to make a request?"

Clark patted him on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of? If you like him, just go up and invite him."

This answer was certainly not what Harry wanted.

"Maybe you can use a noose to tie one?" Ron suggested jokingly, "Have you thought about who you want to invite?"

Harry didn't answer. Clark glanced at him. If the original novel was true, Harry should have fallen in love with Qiu Zhang from Ravenclaw.

She is Harry's senior sister, very beautiful, a very good Quidditch player, and very popular, but whether Harry can muster the courage to invite her is another matter.

Ron seemed to see through Harry's heart, "Listen, Harry, you won't have any trouble. Although you are not a warrior, you have defeated the mysterious man before, right? I dare say, they will line up. I’m vying to dance with you.”

This is true, and it soon came true.

The very next day, a curly-haired third-year Hufflepuff girl took the initiative to invite Harry to attend the dance with her.

Harry had never spoken to her before, so he panicked and refused without even thinking, causing the girl to walk away hurt.

So throughout the History of Magic class, Harry had to endure the ridicule and sarcasm from Dean, Seamus and Ron. In their opinion, it was really not easy for a girl to take the initiative to invite him.
