Chapter 180 The Disadvantages of Loving Cards
The day after the first game, Adam and his friends held a small celebration banquet.
Zhang Qiu and her bestie went shopping and didn't come, so Cedric planned to celebrate privately with them later.
"The second game is about the Black Lake, and you have to save people from the mermaids."
Adam took a sip of the soup and continued:
"Put the golden egg in the water, and you will find that the ghost howling has become a normal sound."
"Ahem!"
Perhaps because he was scalded, Cedric was choked by the soup. He coughed several times to suppress the discomfort in his throat, and looked at Adam in astonishment:
"How did you know this?"
"Didn't I mention it? I have a good relationship with the residents of the Black Lake."
Adam shrugged his shoulders.
Languages still need to be used to learn faster. He can practice snake language with basilisks, and he found a French wizard in the contact book to practice French. Of course, he has to practice mermaid language with mermaids.
"You never told us this!"
Not only Cedric was surprised, but also his roommates.
"Ah? Oh, now you know~"
Adam waved his hand:
"That's not important. The mermaid said that Professor Dumbledore has contacted them. When the time comes, they will tie people up next to their homes and wait for you to rescue them... Can you swim?"
"...Yes."
It took Cedric some time to accept Adam's wide circle of friends.
It's nothing that he has friends all over Hogwarts. Adam, who can expand his social circle to the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, is the real light of Hufflepuff!
"That's easy. Find some sacgrass. Of course, it would be better if you can cast the head-bubbling spell. The taste of sacgrass is hard to describe..."
"I can also cast the head-bubbling spell, but I can practice it again during this period to avoid accidents."
Cedric nodded.
"Well, that's fine. I'll say hello to the mermaids then. They won't hurt you, but you have to pretend and don't let yourself get caught."
"Okay..."
Cedric nodded again. He didn't expect to be promoted to the second round of the Triwizard Tournament. Was it the same for everyone before?
"By the way, how did you get involved with the mermaids?"
"At first, I asked Professor Dumbledore to learn the mermaid language and practiced with them. Later, we got familiar with each other."
Being allowed to live in the Black Lake, these mermaids were not bad in character. They were also very curious to find that a little wizard would come to chat with them.
...
Before the second trial, the Christmas ball came to Hogwarts first.
"Have you all chosen your dance partners?"
During the break in the study of time magic, Adam looked at his roommates while petting the cat.
"How can it be so fast? Professor McGonagall only informed us about the dance on Tuesday."
Cologne sighed, and then found that everyone's expressions were a little subtle:
"You...you can't all..."
"Cologne, it's been almost three days, you still haven't found a dance partner? No one even invited you?"
Bernard shook his head:
"If you don't hurry up, there will be few beautiful girls left without a dance partner."
"Of course someone invited me!"
Cologne's face was flushed, but...it's just that they are a little bit higher than him.
"Then you have high requirements~"
"Do you need me to help you find out who else hasn't found a dance partner? I know a lot of female classmates, I can ask them to help ask."
Uther spoke silently.
"Who did Ya choose as a dance partner?"
Eugene looked at Adam.
"Well, I chose Jing."
"Eh? Didn't you say before that you considered choosing Hua?"
Adam raised his head from the soft fur on Sibi's belly and said:
"Although Hua likes to dance, she doesn't know how to dance ballroom dance. She is better at waltz and Sophie dance. I am actually a novice in ballroom dance. We gave up after practicing a few times. In comparison, Jing is a more suitable choice for me."
As long as the mirror image is flipped twice, his and Jing's movements will be exactly the same. Although it looks a bit strange to have the same male and female steps, at least they won't step on each other.
As for the problem of strange dance steps, he didn't lead the dance, so he just joined in the fun at the edge of the dance floor.
Adam didn't expect that he didn't look for fun, but fun came to him.
"Hello, I heard that those sumptuous dinners before were also prepared by you. Is that true?"
Adam turned his head and frowned.
The person who came was Furong, but this was not the point. The point was that Furong cast a magic on him... the magic of the veela.
"Ah, sorry, is it again... My grandmother is a veela, I have never been able to control it well."
Finding that Adam's expression was wrong, Fleur sighed, apologetic, but Adam, who was good at Legilimency, did not see a trace of sincerity in her eyes.
"Then I suggest Miss Fleur to practice this ability before going out, so as not to cause trouble to others."
"..."
Fleur's expression was almost unbearable.
What's wrong with this person?
Even if her magic didn't work, didn't she look good enough? How could you say such rude words to a beautiful lady?
But Fleur still managed to maintain a smile:
"Okay, I will practice harder when I go back...By the way, do you have a partner for the Christmas dance?"
"I already have a partner."
"Ah? That's really a pity. I wonder... would you like to change your dance partner? For example... me?"
At the end of the sentence, Fleur tilted her head shyly and flipped her hair.
The most gentle thing is the gentleness of the lowered head, like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze.
The boys who were paying attention to the situation here shed tears of envy one by one.
"Sorry, no."
Fleur froze in place and looked at Adam in disbelief.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Adam nodded politely to Fleur, but left without waiting for her answer.
Inexplicably, she planned to seduce him and invite him to dance. It was definitely not a good thing. If this was not Hogwarts, Adam would definitely have used the Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique in his backhand.
Fleur, whose invitation failed, stood there for a while and turned around angrily. After seeing Adam's back, she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks.
Although he was rejected, but...this guy is quite dedicated~
Back in the dormitory, Adam mentioned this inexplicable thing, and the roommates fell into silence... Oh, not unanimously.
"There must be something wrong!"
Cologne fisted his fist and nodded towards Adam:
"Perhaps she found out that you are Cedric's friend and plans to achieve certain goals by getting close to you."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Bernard looked at the two people discussing and his eyes twitched:
"Is it possible that someone is attracted to you...but what Cologne said is not impossible."
"No way. Fleur has Veela blood, so she should never lack suitors. How could she inexplicably fall in love at first sight with me who is in another school and will never see her again after this school year?"
Adam spread his hands:
"And even if you fall in love at first sight, you should look for opportunities to make friends with me first, instead of being charming right away? It's obvious that she has evil intentions."
"Speaking of Veela blood..."
Eugene suddenly spoke:
"Her grandmother is a Veela, which means that the proportion of Veela blood in her body is actually very high. With your affinity for magical animals that can even conquer unicorns, maybe it was the Veela part that conquered her?"
Ah this...
Adam was silent, Adam was thinking, Adam was speechless.
