Hogwarts: Who taught you to transform like this?

"Of course not!"

Merlin nodded affirmatively.

He had figured out the cause of the accident.

It was probably Quirrell who knew Hagrid's plan and secretly arranged it, wanting to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Even if Harry couldn't be killed directly.

The attack of the kelpie and the giant squid during the freshman enrollment could also distract Dumbledore's attention and make him have no time to pay attention to the Philosopher's Stone.

He would have more opportunities to take action.

It can only be said that this method is very Voldemort.

It is exactly the same as the handling method for the future Triwizard Tournament.

It seems that Horcruxes are not without negative effects.

At least Tom Riddle, who even Dumbledore found amazing, no longer has the IQ he once had, and can only use such a stupid method.

Could it be that Horcruxes can divide the soul and also divide the IQ?

An idea flashed through Merlin's mind.

He still had to think, but the water in front of him suddenly boiled.

A group of Aurora fish rushed to Merlin's boat in panic.

The huge black shadow at the bottom of the lake was obviously the movement of the giant squid rushing to the surface of the lake.

Eight tentacles emerged like cannonballs, slamming heavily into Merlin's boat.

"Merlin!"

Hermione screamed and hid in Merlin's arms.

Harry was holding Ronald beside him, his face filled with despair.

There was a giant squid above and a water monster below. Even if Newt, who was eleven years old, came, he would have to leave something behind.

They were probably really going to die.

Merlin's heart tightened, and the warning of danger became particularly clear.

The Aurora fish had clearly dispersed, so how could they gather around his boat again?

Someone must be playing tricks!

In a flash, Merlin didn't have time to think about it, and he stood up and subconsciously used the most suitable spell for the current situation within his ability.

"Freeze!"

Blue and white light spurted out from the tip of Merlin's wand.

The eight tentacles of the giant squid froze into icicles in mid-air, extending below the water surface, and even the water plants released by the water monster in the nearby lake were firmly frozen.

Under the water surface, the water monster struggled frantically, but it was useless.

The young wizards on the boat were all stunned and dumbfounded, calling Merlin's beard.

When they couldn't even use the most basic fluorescent flashing spell, someone had already released such a powerful freezing spell?

What kind of ferocious first-year student is this?

Hagrid opened his eyes wide, and his thick beard trembled a few times, blocking the sound he whispered.

"Merlin's pants, this is too outrageous!"

The next second.

A giant bird dragging flames on the castle in the distance cut through the sky and rushed towards the Black Lake.

The air exploded with illusory shadows, gradually revealing a human shape.

Dumbledore appeared above the lake, holding the phoenix claw in one hand and waving the magic wand in the other.

"Vanishing without a trace!"

After Dumbledore released the spell, the entire Black Lake seemed to be sucked away by a layer out of thin air.

The frozen giant squid and the horse-shaped sea monster disappeared.

All the magic ships floated in the air, without landing and unable to move.

A few more seconds passed.

Professor McGonagall and the deans of other colleges arrived one after another, and immediately manipulated all the magic boats to fly smoothly to the other side.

A thrilling surprise ended in such a hasty manner.

After crossing the lake, Hagrid hugged Harry, his face full of snot and tears.

He kept urging Harry to forgive himself.

"Harry, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen, I started to..."

"I know, Hagrid! Thank you for the surprise!"

Harry went forward and hugged Hagrid.

The other little wizards didn't notice what was happening here, and each prayed and sighed that Merlin blessed them to finally survive.

Merlin stared at the lake again, thinking about how Quirrell managed to attract the Aurora fish twice.

At this moment, Dumbledore's voice sounded behind Merlin.

"Merlin, a perfect freezing spell. It seems that you have made good progress in your studies at Flourish and Blotts."

"Of course, professor, I have been practicing."

"I believe in you, otherwise I would not have such strength. It is better than many graduated young wizards."

"Well, is that so?"

Merlin did not rush to reply.

He did not know whether this was a test from Dumbledore.

Although he used the absolute power to hide his magic power far beyond that of ordinary young wizards, it is possible that Dumbledore's magic control ability is far better than his, and he can detect his true situation.

Fortunately, before he could answer, Dumbledore changed the topic.

"Merlin, do you think the attack on the Black Lake was an accident?"

"Of course not."

Merlin shook his head decisively.

"Why?"

"Wild Aurora fish won't gather in such a large group, and the fish that have already fled have returned to their original place. This is too abnormal."

"In addition, giant squids usually live at the bottom of the lake and will not appear on the surface of the lake unless there are special circumstances."

"And the horse-shaped sea monster, if it can't eat people, I can't imagine how they have the courage to show up."

There is one more thing that Merlin didn't say.

The crisis he felt the first time was much smaller than the second time, and the direction was more clear.

It can be confirmed that someone is behind the arrangement.

But, this can't be said as evidence.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, as if he thought of something.

"Okay, Mr. Merlin, you have shown enough excellent qualities, now it's time to go to the opening ceremony."

"What about you, professor?"

"Since you said that someone wants to harm my students, I, as the headmaster, have to do something."

Dumbledore walked slowly into the lake.

It seems that he stood on the water without using any magic.

But Merlin obviously noticed that there was a trace of magic escaping from his feet, which looked like an advanced application skill of magic.

"It seems that someone has mastered the technique of external use of magic!"

Merlin wanted to watch more.

But McGonagall had already summoned all the little wizards to go up the stairs to the main building of the castle.

He could only follow.

The last scene he saw was Dumbledore reciting the spell.

A huge reflection appeared in the sky.

The picture quickly retreated, showing what happened in the lake before.

"Squeak!"

The gate of the castle slowly closed.

The bright hall, the endless long table, the candles floating in the air, the little wizards in their respective school robes boiling and noisy...

Everything returned to the scene as it should have been.

"Quick drying, stain removal, ginger soup flying..."

McGonagall waved his wand and released several life-related magics to make the little wizards clean and warm again.

He counted the number of people again and made sure that there was no omission before he stood at the front of the team again to introduce himself.

After hearing the title of Hogwarts Vice Principal and Gryffindor Dean, many little wizards immediately behaved.

McGonagall nodded with satisfaction.

The frightened little wizards still need a little dignity to listen carefully to the following content.

Then she slowed down and began to explain the rules of the sorting.

"Although some things happened on the way here, fortunately there was no accident. Principal Dumbledore has gone to deal with this matter."

"Next is your sorting test."

"Little wizards who hear the name, go forward and put on the hat, and you will know your house."

"Huh! Relieved!"

Two obvious sighs came from Merlin's side.

"Praise Merlin, fortunately it's not a magic test!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn George Fred, I must complain to my mother!"

Ronald gritted his teeth!

After listening to it, Merlin finally understood what happened.
