Ever since she couldn't hold back her joy and revealed that Locke was going to be his partner at the Yule Ball, Hermione had become the target of public criticism among the girls and had been having a hard time in the past few days.

What Hermione didn't expect was that many of the girls in Beauxbatons had some vague ill will towards her. Fortunately, the Yule Ball was coming in a few days.

Locke is also a man who is not short of money. Since he took the initiative to invite Hermione, he naturally made all preparations and prepared exquisite dresses for himself and Hermione.

Hermione chose a light-colored dress, with her long golden hair pulled up high, and a shawl that matched the dress, which matched her good looks. If it weren't for her young age, she wouldn't have When fully grown, she will most likely become the most dazzling beauty at the ball.

Locke wore a normal dress and suit, but they were all custom-made. The eyes of many girls who had noticed him for a long time also lit up, and many girls were surprised that there was such an outstanding man in the academy.

The dance began, and dancing was naturally not a problem for Locke. He guided and cooperated with Hermione, dancing to the beat of the soothing music.

As her figure rotated, Hermione's dress spun brilliantly, like a cluster of dancing elves. Then the dresses on the two of them activated the enchantment effect, and the gorgeous magical light spread out, attracting the attention of everyone present. look.

Everyone around was stunned by this gorgeous scene. After a while, they regained their senses and continued to dance with their partners. However, they could not hide the envy and surprise in their hearts.

After the dance, many evocative sounds appeared in the hidden rooms, woods, and grass of Hogwarts Castle. Locke led the happy Hermione to leave for a rest, and happened to meet an unhappy Ron and the station staff. A girl beside him.

"Mr. Locke, don't you think you are too old compared to Hermione?" Ron bit his mouth and finally said this.

"Ron!" Hermione couldn't help but stare at Ron and shouted, "What are you talking about!"

"Okay Hermione." Locke smiled and rubbed Hermione's head and said, "Ron, you should pay more attention to your dance partner. Let's go."

As Locke took Hermione's hand, he walked around Ron. Naturally, he would not be jealous of a little boy. When they left, Ron's dance partner couldn't help but glare at Ron angrily: "You don't want to be with me. Let’s dance together, right?”

Ron was silent and didn't speak. To be fair, his dance partner was also a pretty girl. She agreed to dance with Ron and didn't complain when she saw that Ron was wearing some antique-looking dresses. She must have a good impression of Ron.

But Ron's current behavior made her turn around and leave.

"I didn't expect Ron to be so rude. You saved him and Harry in the Forbidden Forest before." Hermione couldn't help but said, "I will definitely talk to him well when I get back."

"It doesn't matter, I know what he was thinking at this time, because I stole the best dance partner in his mind." Locke smiled and said, "Do you know what I was thinking when I was dancing just now?"

"What?" Hermione asked curiously before she could realize what Locke meant by having the best dance partner in her heart.

"I'm wondering whether to invite you to join me on my trip, but at the same time I'm worried that you won't be able to see your parents and friends for a long time in the future."

"Really?!" Hermione seemed a little surprised: "I think I have no problem. I also want to see how big this world is with you, teacher."

"Don't worry, I will probably leave at the end of this semester. I will tell you where to go then, and you can make your decision." Locke smiled: "For now, it is better to enjoy your life at Hogwarts." Bar."

Locke had actually been hesitant before, whether to take Hermione away. After all, he also had a good impression of Hermione, and it seemed a little unprofessional to come to the world of Harry Potter and not try to abduct Hermione.

Locke wasn't going to hide it. He would just let Hermione make her own choice when the time came. He would explain the situation to Hermione before leaving and let her decide whether to go to a completely unfamiliar world with Locke.

Two months later, the second game was approaching. On this day, Locke was preparing to go to the Room of Requirement to practice spells. Unexpectedly, he happened to see Harry in a daze beside a railing alone.

He went over and said hello: "Harry, why haven't you rested yet? Are you wandering here alone at night in a daze?"

"Mr. Locke." Harry came back to his senses and greeted Locke: "I... no, it's nothing."

Harry, as always, the kind of person who keeps things in his head when things happen, replied: "I'm just thinking about something."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Locke said proactively.

After hesitating for a moment, Harry shook his head: "Just some small things."

"Are you worried about the second game? You must have thought about it. The mermaid's song in the golden egg means that the second game has something to do with water. What are you thinking about? Can't you think of any way to deal with the game?"

"That unbearable noise is the mermaid's song?" Harry couldn't help being stunned and asked in surprise.

"You probably don't know much about mermaids, so you don't know that he is a mermaid. In fact, the mermaid's song turns into a harsh noise after leaving the water. Magical creatures have various characteristics."

Locke smiled and said: "If you can't think of a way to deal with it, I have a book that I can recommend to you, or you can ask Hermione, she should also know some ways."

"Really? Thank you Mr. Locke. I didn't expect that voice to be the singing of a mermaid. I thought it was the effect of some kind of magic spell."

Harry had an excited look on his face: "I'm sorry, sir, I suddenly thought of something and want to go back."

"Okay, but don't go out at night casually in the future." Locke didn't say much. After he left, he frowned slightly:

"Didn't that fake Professor Moody actually give him a hint? Indeed, the plot did not specify which day he prompted Locke to go to the bathroom, and at the same time secretly told the answer to the ghost. Unexpectedly, it was only a few days before the second game ”

Unintentionally playing the role of a fake Professor Moody, Locke didn't care about this little thing and continued to the Room of Requirement. When the second game came, all the teachers and students gathered at the Black Lake Center.

In the cold wind, the four contestants gathered together on the platform. The referee read out the rules of the game and said that the four warriors had lost something valuable and they needed to find it back within an hour.

After the four players entered the water, everyone tried to look down from the lake, but due to the magic effect, they could not see anything but darkness.

Locke knew that the Black Lake surrounding the entire Hogwarts not only contained magical creature reserves, but also had some magical passages that could even connect to other waters around the world.

The four warriors who need to be rescued are in the area where mermaids live in the Black Lake.

Locke also collected some mermaids in his small suitcase. To be honest, the mermaids in this world are not as beautiful as in fairy tales. They are really ugly. They are slender like water snakes and have bubbles. The same eyes can destroy all the beautiful fantasies a person has about mermaids.
