Hogwarts: Who taught you to transform like this?

"First-year students, here! Your luggage will be automatically delivered to your room. First-year students, follow me!"

As soon as he got off the train, Merlin saw Hagrid's huge figure.

He was holding a bright lantern in his hand, guiding the freshmen to the boat station on the Black Lake.

""Hi, Harry, Merlin!"

Hagrid noticed them, greeted them, winked and said that he would arrange a small surprise for them later.

Harry looked expectant.

Merlin instinctively felt a chill after hearing this.

He immediately knew that this was the effect of the talent for predicting danger.

And he clearly judged that this meant that it was a bit frightening, but there would be no danger.

Thinking of the surprise Hagrid mentioned just now, Merlin suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could this half-blood giant plan to arrange some program when they cross the lake?

Thinking of the creatures living in the Black Lake.

Giant squid, mermaids...

It's impossible to let them float to the surface to say hello, right?

……

But thinking about the fact that Hagrid was someone who could use hippogriffs to teach the Care of Magical Creatures course.

Merlin felt more and more that this was possible.

If such a thing appeared under the water while on a boat, it would definitely be a shock.

No wonder the danger prediction would give a warning.

But now that he was prepared, Merlin felt much more relaxed.

It was a good opportunity to try out his language proficiency to see if he could communicate with the giant squid and the mermaid.

He should be able to give Hagrid a bigger surprise then.

Soon.

All the little wizards boarded the boat and headed for the main building of the castle.

These boats are specially made alchemical products, and they sail fast and steadily on the water. It is also a tradition of Hogwarts to let first-year students take a boat to the main building of the castle.

It allows them to experience the feelings of the four founding giants when they first came to Hogwarts by boat.

Hagrid was holding a lantern at the front of the fleet to guide the direction, and introduced the situation of Hogwarts by the way.

When the boat reached the center of the lake, Hagrid raised his voice and pointed to one side.

"Here, everyone, please pay attention. We will soon pass through an area where some magical animals live. This is a surprise I prepared for you, but everyone must pay attention to safety."

While speaking, he raised the lantern and found Harry in the crowd, giving him a look to watch.

The next second, the boat passed through the water.

The waves on the surface of the Black Lake were as colorful as the aurora.

As the ship moved forward, the waves spread far away, and the waves continued to flow.

"What a nice view!"

"so beautiful!"

"It's incredible, so beautiful!"

The little wizards exclaimed collectively.

Merlin was also a little stunned.

He didn't expect Hagrid to actually prepare a surprise.

These magical creatures are the lowest one-star creatures in the magic department's classification level, the Aurora fish.

Because of their small size and lack of combat power, they emit a brilliant light when swimming, and are famous ornamental fish in the magic world.

The only drawback is that they are easily killed by shock.

Change the water every three days, wash the tank every five days, and change the fish every seven days, that's what they are talking about.

It's just that ordinary people can't keep them alive in a fish tank, but Hagrid actually raised such a large group in the Black Lake, which is really not simple.

But the Aurora fish can't be dangerous. What was the danger prediction just now?

Merlin looked at the side of the boat, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shouted to be careful.

At this time, Hagrid also popularized the situation of this creature to the little wizards, and patted his chest proudly.

"It took me a month to learn how to feed these little guys. How are they? Do they look good? Wait, Molin, what did you say to be careful about?"

""Splash!"

Before Hagrid finished speaking, a column of water suddenly exploded under the Black Lake, spraying dozens of meters into the sky.

Countless Aurora fish in the center of the water column all turned upside down.

The remaining Aurora fish were frightened and immediately fled into the depths of the Black Lake, and the lake surface returned to darkness.

The next second, several tentacles that were dozens of meters long stretched out of the water and swept away the bodies of the Aurora fish.

Then a large area of green water plants emerged on the lake, like countless sea snakes, gradually forming a horse head shape, emerging from the water and starting to spray water

"Giant squid!"

""Kelpie!"

Hermione, who had watched"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", screamed and turned pale.

Obviously, she knew that Kelpie only eats humans.

The remaining little wizards who didn't know were also scared and cried after hearing other people's popular science, and even forgot to take out their wands.

""Get back!"

Hagrid shouted furiously at the bow.

He was half-giant, and on the shore he could subdue most magical animals with his strength.

But in the water he was just like an ordinary person, and could only roar and wave the lantern to try to scare the two guys.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

The tentacles of the giant squid were dozens of meters high, and its strength in the water was even greater than that of a small dragon.

It ignored Hagrid's expulsion. The sea horse-shaped monster was scattered all over the ferry, covered with seaweed, waiting to catch the little wizard who fell into the water.

"BANG!"

Hagrid raised his umbrella and a huge red firework exploded in the air.

His voice echoed across the lake.

"Don't worry, I have already informed Professor Dumbledore, he will be here soon, everyone hold on to the boat and don't fall off!"

"As long as they are on the boat, they can't do anything!"

He didn't forget to look at Harry and the others.

After confirming that Harry was on the boat, he felt relieved and checked the situation of other little wizards. On the Merlin boat.

Harry and Ron hugged each other and turned pale with nervousness.

"Surprise? You call this a surprise?"

"How could a giant squid go crazy? Aren't they the most honest animals?"

Ron had heard a lot about giant squids from his brother, all of which were docile, peaceful, and lazy.

He didn't understand how such a violent giant squid could exist.

"It's an Aurora fish!"

Although Hermione was scared, she was still calmer than them as she held onto Merlin's sleeve tightly. She could even explain to them

"The favorite food of the giant squid is the Aurora fish. After eating it, it will go crazy, just like a cat that has eaten catnip!"

As he spoke, a giant squid tentacle smashed into the lake, creating waves several meters high.

The little wizard on the nearby boat instantly became a drowned chicken.

"What now?" Harry yelled

""Don't make a noise, I'm thinking!"

Hermione closed her eyes, trying to calm down and think of a solution.

Suddenly, Hermione thought of something, opened her eyes and looked at Merlin.

"Merlin! I figured it out!"

"Stunning spell! Calming spell! This is the spell to deal with the giant squid going berserk after eating the Aurora fish!"

"Just use these two spells on the giant squid to make it……"

Before she finished speaking, the little witch closed her eyes again.

"Damn, no! I forgot that the giant squid's skin is extremely resistant to magic."

"Our magic is totally useless."

Hearing this, Harry looked at Merlin with despair.

"It's over, Merlin, we won't be the first batch of freshmen to die on the way to school since the founding of Hogwarts, right?"
