Hogwarts Emerald

Fortunately, Snape was also sitting in the stands, and not far from him sat Moody. It was estimated that Snape was in a very unhappy mood at the moment.

But Ada's mood became much more beautiful instantly. God knows whether the water of the Black Lake can clean Snape's greasy hair. Ada didn't want to get all oily when fishing for Snape.

Hey, why do you keep using the word "Lao"?

Looking away again, Ada didn't think about who she was going to save later. Anyway, no matter who the mermaid ladies kidnapped, she couldn't let it go unless she didn't intend to complete this mission.

At nine twenty-nine, Harry finally arrived, and the time was accurate. Harry ran to the referee's table covered with a golden tablecloth in one breath and stopped on Ada's left side. He put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily.

"I...I'm here..." Harry said breathlessly, "I'm sorry!"

"Very good, very timely, just one minute away." Ludo Bagman looked at his watch and said happily, "The game will start soon."

The warriors were lined up on the shore, ten feet apart. First on the left is Ada, second is Fleur, then Krum, and finally Harry.

Ada glanced at Fleur beside her. She was wearing a light blue swimsuit, and her graceful curves were clearly visible. Fleur held the wand tightly in her hand, her body trembling slightly in the cold air.

Ludo Bagman's sonorous voice rang by the Black Lake. He said: "Listen, everyone, our warriors are already in place. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second project will begin. They have a full hour to recapture What was taken from them. I counted to three. One...two...three!"

A shrill whistle echoed in the cold, still air. The stands erupted in cheers and applause.

Krum entered the lake first, and the bitingly cold lake water didn't seem to make him feel the slightest chill. Without surfacing, Krum just disappeared from everyone's sight.

The last warrior to arrive was Harry, but he was the second one to enter the water. Harry took off his shoes and socks in a few moments, took out a wad of something from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and then waded into the lake.

Laughter erupted from the stands, it seemed that Harry, who had done nothing, amused them.

In fact, it was not that Harry had done nothing. The thing Harry had just stuffed into his mouth was gillyweed, and Ada could see it clearly.

She had also considered this herb, which Snape happened to have in his personal storeroom. But Ada gave up in the end. Not only did the gillyweed look terrible, like countless slippery gray-green rat tails, but it tasted even worse.

Ada, wrapped in a cloak, and the curvaceous Fleur were left on the shore. Fleur glanced at Ada, then she took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, and walked into the cold lake holding her shoulders.

The head soaking spell, after Fleur submerged into the lake, Ada saw clearly the air mask on her face, was another method that Ada had considered.

After unraveling the clue to the golden egg and knowing that she was going into the water, Ada thought of many ways. The simplest one is the head soaking spell, and Ada even considered "Moses parting the sea".

This ancient magic comes from an ancient legend. This magic can separate the entire black lake, allowing the bottom of the black lake to see the sky again.

The scene of splitting a road in the Black Lake was definitely shocking, but after thinking for a long time, Ada gave up on this method. No other reason, just out of cowardice.

Ada does not have the power of Moses. She cannot guarantee that after she casts magic, it will not affect innocent people and cause heavy losses to the aquatic creatures in the black lake.

I’ve never used it, so I’m not sure, so just don’t use it.

The three warriors had already submerged into the Black Lake, and Ada was the only one left on the shore. At this time, Ada finally took off her cloak.

In the confused eyes of the audience, Ada still did not enter the water, but started to do warm-up exercises. Seeing Ada's non-standard movements, bursts of laughter erupted in the stands.

Ada remained unmoved, stretching her muscles and stretching her ligaments. If she got cramps just after getting into the water, who would she find to reason with.

After warming up, Ada stopped her movements, but the laughter in the stands did not stop. Looking up at the audience, Ada thought to herself: A bunch of stupid roe deer, do you know what science is?

Ada slowly walked into the lake, adjusting the time on the diving watch on her left wrist as she walked. There were about fifty-five minutes left, which was enough.

The lake was so cold that her slender legs got goosebumps from the cold. Ada felt that if she got cold legs in the future, she would definitely settle the score with these cuties!

The water in the lake gradually reached her knees, and Ada finally understood why Fleur hugged her shoulders and went into the water. When the lake water reached Ada's waist, she took a deep breath and got into the water.

The audience in the stands looked at each other in shock, another fool who got into the lake without doing anything.

Was she planning to hold her breath for an hour with Harry Potter? Or do you plan to stay and fly with Harry Potter, drown in the Black Lake together, and leave behind the legend of the female ghost in the Black Lake?

Just when the audience was confused, Ada emerged from the lake near the stands. It's good that she hasn't drowned yet. Then, Ada suddenly jumped out of the water, drew an arc in the air, and then dived into the water again.

The audience in the stands looked in surprise. What did they just see? There were no cheers or laughter. Everyone was recalling Ada's appearance just jumping out of the water.

Her long golden hair was wet from the lake water, her swimsuit fit tightly to the curves of her body, her lower body... yes, her lower body turned into a fish!

The long and straight legs disappeared, replaced by shimmering scales and tail fins!

The lake surface returned to calmness, but the lake in everyone's hearts did not calm down. It was as if someone had dropped a stone, causing ripples.

It was the first time for almost everyone present to see a living mermaid.

The hands of the clock moved slowly, and people stared at the calm lake. They couldn't see anything going on underwater, and the second project was a lonely one for them.

But this still cannot stop people's enthusiasm. They want to see who will be the first warrior to surface, and they also want to take another look at the mermaids who belong to Hogwarts.

The sun was rising higher and higher, illuminating the lake with sparkling light, but the light in the depths of the lake was very dim. It was difficult for Ada's eyes to adapt to the hazy scene here.

The hidden cracks on both sides of the neck provide Ada with the oxygen she needs, and the swinging lower limbs and tail fins provide power for her, allowing her to shuttle through the lake water lightly and freely.

Ada's method of dealing with the second project came from the "Simplified Edition of Animagus Transformation" she obtained last school year.

Although the method comes from this, Ada is not an Animagus, and an Animagus cannot become a mermaid. Ada just got a glimpse of some mysteries about human body transformation and benefited a lot from it.

Using the knowledge gained from the system, Ada transformed herself into a fish, or fish-like creature. She has gills, scales, and fins, but she can retain her own body, allowing her to roam unhindered in the unsafe lake.

The gray, eerie lake water, the undulating and tangled black water plants, the wide and flat sand scattered with shiny pebbles, the fish swimming around, everything underwater is within reach.

This is a new experience that you can’t get in an aquarium, if only there weren’t those Grindylows hidden among the water plants. These dark creatures living in the water always pop up from the water plants and try to attack Ada as she passes by.

Apart from Grindylow, Ada did not encounter any major difficulties. There didn't seem to be much difficulty with the second project other than the indistinguishable direction and water pressure.

As she dived deeper and deeper, Ada felt as if her eardrums were being compressed and her body's organs were squeezing. The silence and the tunnel vision of only a few feet around made Ada uneasy.

Her right hand clenched the wand unconsciously, and Ada's heart was filled with uneasiness and anxiety. At a certain moment, the idea of ​​giving up and resurfaced flashed through her mind.

Ada slowed down, overcame her fear and anxiety, and listened carefully.

In the dark and hazy lake, Ada heard the beautiful singing voice, which meant that she was getting closer to the place where the mermaid was.
