Novel Full Chapter 437
On the shore, Ludo Bagman shouted excitedly in a loud voice, “Look, Miss Granger has managed to bash the salmon, and that salmon is at least two feet! Is this some kind of rare talent?”
Fred and George smiled playfully and said, “Hermione probably won’t be happy to hear that.”
“Oh, Professor McGonagall reminded me,” Ludo Bagman continued, “that’s the power of ancient runes, a subject I honestly don’t know much about, isn’t that just a translation study … and about the Uagadou champion’s previous behaviour of giving up their wands, the results of the judges’ discussion concluded that since the rules did not explicitly state that they could not give up their wands, they were within the scope of permitted action, although it would pose a challenge when it came to repossession.”
“Now, let’s get back to the task, the champion of Ilvermorny has successfully challenged the purple level, and now he is faced with a choice: an amulet, an ice bomb, or – lo – behold, he has chosen the second one, which can freeze a lake on a small scale.”
“Durmstrang’s Krum is approaching the area where Grindylow exists, his not-so-successful shark transfiguration has only added two gills and a mouthful of shark teeth, and frankly, I don’t expect those thin rows of fangs in his mouth will ever come in handy – back to the point, Krum lives up to his reputation as a Quidditch international star; His excellent physique allows him to swim forward with his wand in his mouth, not to mention his accidental discovery of a golden gem midway through the game, allowing him to grow to two feet …”
“Oh, crap! He got surrounded, dozen of Grindylows found him, if he was in his normal state, these little things simply can’t hurt him, but it’s different now, can he still be dexterous enough to cast spells? Yes, he wisely chose to avoid and give up that blue level …”
In the black lake, Hermione is facing a choice.
After she succeeded in solving the puzzle, a hollow voice told her she could earn a reward, and the options included: Any one question within the rules; The Topography of a small area around her; A ten-second message to her teammates.
Hermione was tempted by every option, and after some weighing, she picked the one she needed most at the moment – the topography of a small area around her.
The hollow voice repeated her options, and after a few seconds of silence, a map appeared in the air, and Hermione’s eyes lit up, firmly remembering the gold and purple dots of light that appeared on the map.
Meanwhile, Harry finally managed to complete the humanoid shield charm a few minutes ago – he pretty much repeated the entire process of this charm’s development. Fortunately, he went to Classroom 7 a few days ago, and Professor Hap’s memory body who had nothing better to do talked about it in more detail.
His humanoid shield charm looked like a monstrous Bubble-Head Charm, except it covered his entire body, which caused his movements to become quite a bit slower than his normal speed would have, but in any case, he barely gained the ability to get out of his protective shield.
Thinking for a few seconds, he put a hand out of the protective shield, touching the cold water, the patterned globe fish finally got tired, he wondered where it ran to rest, Harry took a deep breath, his whole body stepped into the water, he looked like a squeezed deformed bubble, the bubble closed tightly around the limbs, and bulging in the head, chest and abdomen area, if he sprawled on the ground, he would look no different from a toad.
Maybe it would be easier that way, Harry thought bitterly.
He swam a little further, as he often did in Quidditch – moving up high and searching for the golden snitch from above – only this time he is searching for a target in the water.
A dark, hazy, strange landscape unfolded before his eyes, a vast expanse of black and shadowy green intertwined with each other, soft algae bobbing like strips of cloth, and small shiny rocks mixed in with the dark mud, which is not what he is looking for.
He first found the blue light that shone like a star, the wisdom hurdle … Well, Harry remembered that location and decided to look for it later, this time he found the bright purple light, which is the hurdle that needs to be fought.
Harry hesitated a bit, but still, he decided to challenge the purple level. He smoothly reached the small purple house, the process of entering the atmosphere from the lake gave his body a layer of goosebumps, followed by a sudden feeling of something swept across his mind, the effect of practicing Occlumency showed up, and he immediately resisted the invasion of this unknown force.
“Phew …” Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked into the small purple house, rummaged around inside, and found nothing. He froze, what is going on … what about the test? Harry puzzled until he suddenly thought of a possibility … just that invasive presence, it can not be the test, right?
Harry relaxed his consciousness and waited quietly for a few seconds, then there was a flash before his eyes and he found himself in a spacious square arena. Where a kneeling Hippogriff stood up and looked at him menacingly with wide-spread wings.
Harry grinned. It’s a Hippogriff, although a bit odd-looking one, but Harry has a friend named Buckbeak who is also a Hippogriff, and he’s quite accustomed to them; he also likes their natural transitional fur: From dark grey, bronze, red and white, to luminous maroon, and finally jet black
Bow, don’t blink, don’t evade … time seems to go back to the school year, Harry swiftly became friends with it. As a result, it insisted on taking Harry on a ride to fly around; while Harry was worried about how to pass the hurdle, he heard the offer, so accepted it. After a ride when the Hippogriff landed smoothly on the ground, the sound of passing the hurdle also appeared.
“Passed the level smoothly, please make a choice: amulet, which will protect your freedom of movement underwater for half an hour; squid juice, which will obscure vision; false wand, which will release three shield charms.”
Harry blinked and stared at the Hippogriff that is standing aside, and he suddenly came up with a great idea.
“I want the amulet.” He replied.
A few minutes later, he returned to the location of the protective shield, while picking up a golden gem without any hassle, and grew a little taller. He felt his magic power is considerably more active, and he can use some simple magic now.
“I am more confident now.” Harry thought as he placed the amulet on himself, while cancelling the immature humanoid shield charm.
He grabbed his wand in one hand, and a Quaffle Ball-sized water snail clutched under another arm as he looked deeply through the shimmering bright protective shield, then he entered the black lake water; His body first felt chilly, then became warm, the amulet worked surprisingly well. Harry freely stretched his body in the water, it only felt very cool and comfortable, and his body became very lightweight.
Harry used his wand to measure, his holly wood phoenix feather wand is eleven inches, under the calculation of this he is now almost one foot seven or eight inches tall. After spending some time, he managed to find the patterned globe fish that was lingering near the protective shield, it looked tired, maybe it was an illusion, but Harry always felt that it had a small bulge on its head …
“Come on!” Harry shouted, and the patterned globe fish immediately looked over. Its eyes almost bulged out, compared to the patterned globe fish’s one foot, Harry is more advantageous at the moment.
Harry laughed happily when he saw the fish rushing towards him with its long legs.
Half a minute later, the two legs of the patterned globe fish is tied with a knot, Harry was also looked out of breath, but he looked quite satisfied with his results, the water snail was thrown next to the patterned globe fish, and it stopped struggling, looked twice at Harry, before lowering its head to enjoy the food, the next ten minutes, Harry used the water plants to weave a simple knot and placed it on the body of the patterned globe fish.
At this moment, twenty minutes had passed since he woke up.
Then he carried his wand, to untie the knotted legs of the patterned globe fish, “You carry me for a while and I will not pursue the matter of you pestering me.” Harry came close to it and said.
He didn’t know if his words played a role, or if it was a credit of the meat and greet, or if it simply just wanted to escape, but the patterned globe fish did move, and Harry hurriedly grabbed the reins woven of aquatic weeds and his wand, and the next second, he got pulled along as it waded ahead.
“Whoa!”
Harry moved rapidly in the black lake, while using his wand to poke the head of the patterned globe fish to control the direction, his goal is those golden gems, although he delayed sometime earlier, but he believed that his pace would be greatly accelerated next.
…
In the center of the Black Lake, below the deep and steep cliffs, is a sunken grove of rocks, which is the deepest part of the entire Black Lake, where a small tribe of Merpeople lives.
They have a unique culture and language, as well as the ability to tame the Grindylows. This tribe of Merpeople obtained the right to inhabit the Black Lake, and successive headmasters all promised that they would not invade the place at will.
But in any case, the Black Lake is also a part of Hogwarts, and for this tournament, Dumbledore and the chief of the Merpeople reached an agreement that they would be part of the second task.
Felix is currently sitting in a small square plaza, which is surrounded by some strange-looking small houses, with many Merpeople looking at him from afar.
The Merpeople chief is enjoying the gift that was given to him – a waterproof magic gramophone.
The Merpeople chief stood ten feet tall, wearing a necklace of shark teeth on his head, accompanied by some Merpeople guards with pitchforks, whose eyes glanced at this place from time to time.
“I’m satisfied.” The Merpeople chief said in a low, and hoarse voice.
