Study Days at Hogwarts

"Is this really okay?"

Weeping Myrtle "swam" beside Albert in a happy mood. It would have been better if the few people were not driven out of the village by the mermaid so quickly.

"Thanks to Myrtle this time, I don't have to worry about getting lost on the second project."

Albert was in a good mood, but his body was a little cold, and the effect of the heat preservation spell was not very good. Logically speaking, if the lake freezes in winter, the temperature at the bottom of the lake should be around 4 degrees, which is not really high.

"You are welcome."

Moaning Myrtle giggled, seeming to enjoy others thanking her, especially when the other person was her type.

Just when the three people and the ghost were about to return to the lake, Albert felt something. He looked at the slightly hot detection bracelet on his left wrist. It seemed that some dark creature was approaching them?

Greenlody?

Albert squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the dark and hazy lake below. The jungle of black and green water plants below gave him a depressing feeling.

"What's wrong?"

Myrtle noticed Albert's turning of his head, followed his gaze, and asked in confusion.

Albert took out his wand and waved it gently. A ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand and suddenly bloomed under the bottom of the lake, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

After seeing Albert's actions, Fred and George also realized something was wrong. They pulled out their wands and looked down. They soon knew the reason.

"What the hell!"

"Damn it, is this a stab at Greenlody's lair?"

The two cursed in low voices. Below them, a large number of Green Lodi emerged from the lush aquatic jungle below and chased them like crazy. Fred and George, who were originally lagging behind, were quickly caught up by this. Green Lodi was entangled.

Those guys were quite strong. They grabbed their legs and pulled the Weasley twins down.

The two had to hold the underwater booster with one hand and wave the wand with the other hand to try to drive away Greenlody. They even kicked and kicked to try to get rid of the surrounding Greenlody, but the effect was not very good. There were too many of them. When they fought off one, a large group came towards them. The Weasley brothers, who had no experience in underwater combat, were in a hurry.

Looking at the busy Weasley twins, Albert was a little depressed, because he found that the amulet made from the guardian tree had no effect on the group of Grimlodi, otherwise Fred and George who were carrying the amulet would not be affected by the Grimm at all. Lodi's attack.

But that's right, if the amulet was really used regularly, it would have become a panel skill long ago.

Naturally, the group of Greenlodies would not let Albert go like this, but most of the firepower was attracted by Fred and George, and the number of Greenlodys rushing toward Albert was smaller.

Greenlody are not dangerous. They are even classified as harmless by the Ministry of Magic. As long as they are dealt with calmly and properly, they will not cause any trouble to wizards.

Albert waved his wand and tried to use a stun spell to knock down Greenlody, but he soon discovered that he was launching a jet of water. After the water column concentrated on Greenlody, he quickly knocked him out.

There is no doubt that the stun spell is not suitable for underwater combat, at least not suitable for dealing with large groups of Greenlody. However, the situation is urgent, and Albert has no time to think about which spell is more suitable for dealing with Greenlody. His lips are quick. Reciting various spells, he knocked down all Greenlody surrounding him.

Most magic has the same effect underwater, a bit like a bullet. It will form a water column after use, and the power underwater will be weaker. However, the obstacle spell gave Albert an unexpected surprise.

When this spell is used underwater, it will create a small wave of water impact. It is not very powerful, but it can repel enemies.

After Albert determined the effect of the obstacle spell, he immediately used it on Fred and George who were surrounded by Greenlody. While the water wave rushed them a certain distance, it also washed away the Greenlody around them. Eight elements.

Myrtle looked very excited to see Albert fighting a group of green-skinned water monsters, and actually cheered them on.

Albert did not dare to be distracted, and waved his wand again, conjuring ropes to tie up Fred and George, and pull back the twin brothers who had been affected by the barrier spell.

The defeated Greenlody quickly gathered together again and rushed towards the three of them, but Albert did not give them a chance. He waved his wand gently, disturbing the lake water and rolling up a whirlpool, which would rush towards them. The Green Lodi group that came were all involved, and they were rushed to nowhere.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, lest those nasty Greenlodies come after us again!" Albert used a rope to pull them to swim to the lake, otherwise after losing the underwater booster, Fred and George thought It was not easy to surface as quickly as possible. The speed of swimming alone was not enough, so he had to hold the two of them up so that the three of them could leave the black lake faster.

"What happened just now? Why did those green-skinned water monsters suddenly attack us?" Myrtle couldn't help but ask, patting her chest.

"I don't know, let's talk about it first."

Albert suspected that this matter had something to do with the mermaid.

Of course, he had no evidence.

No, there is now.

Albert glanced at the new task on the task panel:

Greenlody's counterattack.

Merkus, the leader of the mermaids, agreed to Dumbledore's request and asked Greenlody to cause as much trouble as possible to the warriors trying to pass through the water plants. They would become one of the biggest obstacles for the warriors to save the hostages. Defeat them and prove that even Greenlody No matter how many Lodi there are, they are just a bunch of fish.

Reward: 1000 experience, acquired skill: Water Monster Repelling Spell.

Did you step into a trap in advance?

The corner of Albert's mouth twitched, but the water monster repelling spell came in time, but he didn't know if it would work.

At this moment, a large black shadow suddenly appeared below, startling the three people and one ghost. They could all feel that something was approaching quickly.

The giant squid living in the black lake is looking at Albert's three ghosts with big eyes curiously.

Although they all know that the giant squid in the Black Lake of Hogwarts has a docile character, and there are even rumors that students have entered the lake to swim in the company of the giant squid, it is still quite scary to encounter the giant squid underwater. It was really a different feeling to be escorted out of the lake by the big guys.

After leaving the water, Fred couldn't help but mumble, "This was definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life."

"I feel like I can brag about this for several years." George noticed that Lee Jordan was waving at them and said, "I dare say that Lee Jordan must regret missing this opportunity."

"I'm leaving first. Remember to visit me in the girls' bathroom on the second floor when you have time." Miss Ghost ran to Albert's side, rubbed her hands, and left with satisfaction.

"It seems that she really likes you." Fred and George reminded with a smile, "You have to be careful, maybe she will run to cause trouble when you get married."

"Shut up, or I won't invite you to the wedding."

"Wow, when are you getting married?"

"Did you just dive into the bottom of the lake?"

Krum's voice sounded not far away, and he seemed to be taking a winter swim.

"Yes, there is a mermaid village under the water, but outsiders are not very welcome." Albert did not hide it, "Maybe you can try it, the scenery there is good."

"I've been in the water before, and there are a lot of Green Lodi's under the lake." Krum raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the two helpers beside Albert. "Especially in those aquatic plants, you will often encounter Greenlody, which is very troublesome. Moreover, I didn't find the mermaid village you mentioned."

Krum's tone sounded gritty. Although he didn't say what happened after meeting Greenlody, it was obviously not a good thing.

"The small mermaid village is hidden in the aquatic jungle. You have to get closer to distinguish it." Albert said with a smile, "You have to be patient and look for it in the aquatic jungle."

"The Bubble Curse won't last that long, and Greenlody is a problem." Krum was curious about how Albert found the mermaid village the first time he went into the lake.

"Let's go ashore first. I'm actually quite afraid of the cold?" Albert swam toward the shore of the lake.

When Lee Jordan saw several people coming ashore, he immediately pulled out his wand and went to greet them. He helped them disperse the water stains and coldness on their bodies. He also noticed the wounds on Fred and George. He frowned and asked, "You are under attack." ”

"When we were leaving, a large group of Greenlodies attacked us crazily." Fred put on a thick cloak, took the potion handed over by Lee Jordan and poured it into his mouth. This potion tasted terrible. It was burning after drinking it, and a lot of hot steam came out of his ears, like a boiling kettle.

Krum looked at the busy four people, and suddenly understood why Albert was able to find the mermaid village all at once. From the beginning, the other party was prepared to search for the location of the village purposefully, instead of trying to touch it like him. luck.

"Krum, do you want it?" Albert handed the last cup to Krum, who came ashore later, and introduced, "It can avoid catching a cold after staying in the water for too long."

"Oh, thank you, I don't have to." Krum shook his head and refused. He was using his wand to remove the water stains on his body, and curiously looked at the clothes on the three of them, which were obviously specially made.

"You found the mermaid's village?"

"Found it, but their village is hidden in the jungle of water plants. I suspect that the group of Greenlodi who attacked us in the end are related to mermaids."

"how do you know?"

"Those mermaids will tame Greenlody."

George took off his clothes and began to clean the wound with medicine, while dripping white essence. The wound quickly showed signs of healing.

"Can this guy be more prepared?"

Krum looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Greenlody should be the obstacle prepared by the school for the warriors. Although Greenlody is not a dangerous dark creature, it is deep in the lake." Albert took the steaming tea cup and said calmly, "If you are not careful, you may overturn, especially if you are unprepared and attacked by a large number of Green Lodi."

"I'm going to find another way. The Bubble Curse won't last for an hour."

Klum hesitated for a moment, then took the fragrant milk tea from Albert, took a sip and continued, "Besides, the swimming speed is too slow, and our physical fitness cannot sustain it at that time."

"You just went into the water without any preparation?"

Albert suddenly understood why Krum didn't find the mermaid village. He had never gone deep into the bottom of the lake, or he didn't dare to take that risk.

Krum was a little depressed, but he still nodded noncommittally.

"You are so amazing." Albert said sincerely.

"Is the mermaid village deep under the lake?" Krum asked. Although this sounds a bit redundant, there is no doubt that this is the result.

It would actually be difficult to go deep into the depths of the lake if you only relied on the Bubble Charm. Krum also thought of other ways, but he didn't put them into action.

Well, Krum is actually trying to practice body shapeshifting, even though he's not really that good at it.

After separating from Krum, they returned to the castle together.

On the way, Fred and George kept telling Li Jordan about their adventure in the Black Lake, and also told the thrilling scene of their final battle with a large group of Grimlody.

"Ahem, although Greenlody is very aggressive, his lethality is not very strong, otherwise he would not be classified as:??." Albert couldn't stand listening anymore, and explained with a slight cough. , "They usually drag the attacked into the water, causing them to panic and drown in the water. It is actually not difficult to deal with them..."

"No, I think those Greenlodies are very difficult to deal with, at least in the water."

If they hadn't been attacked in the water, Fred and George wouldn't be in such a mess.

"If you can deal with it calmly, there will definitely be no problem."

"I don't think anyone can be calm in that situation, those guys' mouths still hurt a lot." Fred muttered.

"Would you like to go check with Madam Pomfrey again?" Albert asked. Although the wound had been treated carefully, they were not professionals after all.

Without waiting for the Weasley brothers to object, Albert took them to the school hospital and asked Madam Pomfrey to check them both.

"There's nothing wrong with them, you should check it out too!" Madam Pomfrey said,

"I'll forget it, I'm not hurt." Albert declined.

"No, no, you are a warrior. How can you not pay attention to your health? Moreover, you will participate in the second event in a while." The three of them persuaded each other, but they did not intend to let Albert Special refusal.

In the end, Albert was forced to undergo a check-up and only left the school hospital after confirming that he was in good health.

When the four of them walked out of the campus hospital together, they almost bumped into Hermione in the corridor outside.

"What are you doing?" Albert looked at Hermione suspiciously.

"Winky seems to be ill. Let me ask Madam Pomfrey if she can provide treatment for her." Hermione hurriedly walked into the school hospital.
