Chapter 381 Gryffindor’s Animagus (Fog)

The white and tender palms gently crossed the water surface, pushing aside a slender wave, and also shattered the pretty face that was both angry and happy reflected in the water into a circle of spreading water ripples.

There was silence all around. Except for the sound of the giant squid shaking its tentacles and hitting the water, the entire black lake seemed quiet, as if there were only two people left in the world.

The customary opening, when two Englishmen meet, is that their opening topic is the weather.

Chang Chu fiddled with the water and said with a squinted smile, "The weather is really nice."

"Well, this weather makes people want to go swimming, but it's best not to." Wright straightened Chang Chu's body to prevent her from accidentally playing in the water.

Chang Chu rolled her eyes in a weird way. In fact, she did want to jump into the lake just now, but she didn't expect to be caught by Wright before she could do it.

"Wright——"

"If you want to go swimming, don't talk about it." Wright said simply, "Not to mention that we Hogwarts students are not in the habit of swimming in the Black Lake, and as far as I know, you don't seem to be. Can you swim?"

Chang Chu's ears were a little red, and she said stiffly: "Swimming!...Can a wizard's thing be called swimming?"

Then came some strong words, such as "The weather is really nice, it will be very comfortable to take a cold bath", "I haven't swam in a long time", "This lake looks very refreshing", "I have never seen the bottom of the lake. What about the scene?”…

After listening for a while, Wright couldn't help but pointed out the most critical question sharply: "If you get into the water, can you swim by yourself? Or, should you say, simply sink to the bottom?"

"I have magic!"

"Head-soaking spell?"

"I did not learn……"

"Human transformation?"

"Won't……"

"Gillweed?"

"Who in the normal world would carry a gillweed with them?" Chang Chu asked speechlessly, "and the gillweed looks ugly. What normal girl would carry around a bunch of gray rat tails?" s things?"

"That's it!" Letley said calmly, "If you don't have the ability to go into the water, you, a landlubber, can just stay on the giant squid and don't even think about going into the water to swim! If you really get into the water , I don’t know whether to drink enough of the lake water first or suffocate and pass out.”

"Can't you think about me?" Chang Chu pinched Wright's arm angrily.

Wright grinned and rubbed his arms, saying, "I've tried my best to think about you, but it's not something I can decide if you can't swim."

Chang Chu turned his head gloomily and looked at the calm lake.

After a while, she finally couldn't help but ask again: "Speaking of which, Wright, how did you make this giant squid be so obedient?"

"This?" Wright patted the head of the giant squid under him, "I didn't train for this, I just discovered this by accident."

"But I've never heard of a student who can sit on a giant squid and tour the entire Black Lake." Chang Chu said with some surprise, "On weekdays, there are only two people, Fred and George, with the giant squid. The squid is the most familiar, but the most they can do is touch its tentacles exposed on the lake. "

"Do you think the twins haven't tried riding a giant squid before?" Wright said amusedly, "They already tried it when they were in second grade. But the giant squid is not a small boat, and its load-bearing capacity is limited. Red and his two brothers sank directly into the water as soon as they came up."

"Then how did you do it?" Chang Chu asked curiously.

"It's like this -" Wright originally wanted to tell the real reason, but looking at Chang Chu's confused and longing expression, he immediately had bad thoughts.

"Ahem." Wright cleared his throat and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Xiaochu, do you know? Actually, this giant squid is not just an ordinary giant squid."

"Any Muggle-born student knows this kind of thing, okay? Only those children from wizarding families don't know this kind of thing, and will take the existence of giant squid as a matter of course." Chang Chu said angrily, " How can a normal giant squid live in such a freshwater lake? Anyone who has read an encyclopedia will know that squids like to live in deep waters in the open sea, and they especially like to dive."

"Forehead……"

Wright blinked. Why did he feel that there was something in Chang Chu's words?

Shaking his head, Wright reorganized his thoughts and continued: "I'm not talking about squids that are obviously saltwater creatures but live in fresh water, but that this giant squid is not ordinary..."

"Isn't this the same? You just changed the order of what you said just now."

"No, I, you - can't you just listen to what I have to say?" Wright said angrily, "Why did you interrupt me suddenly in the middle of what I was saying?"

"Okay, I was wrong." Chang Chu raised his hands insincerely, as if surrendering, "Just keep talking, I'm listening."

"This giant squid..." Just as Wright was mid-sentence, he choked up uncontrollably when he saw Chang Chu's face that barely had the words "Let me see how you make it up" written on it.

Chang Chu asked: "You said it, why didn't you say it?"

I am not angry. Wright closed his eyes and took a deep breath, putting a smile on his face again.

"Did you know there was a woman named JK Rowling? She once joked that if Godric Gryffindor were still alive, he would be the giant squid in the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts, so he would also be the largest in the wizarding world. Of course, Nemagus may also be the oldest. Every night at eleven o'clock, the giant squid will come out of the black lake, regain its human form, walk in the school grounds and return to the lake before sunrise." Wright said the above in one breath. A long string of words, without even a pause, and the speed of speaking was the fastest in his life.

"Can't you add punctuation marks when you speak?" Chang Chu said speechlessly, "I didn't hear what you were saying at all, okay?"

"It's best if you don't hear clearly, phew!" Wright took a breath and said, "It's something I didn't want you to hear clearly."

"What a mess!" Chang Chu's head was full of black lines, "I think you ate too much at noon and your brain was damaged!"

Wright moved his eyes downward and saw the giant squid carrying him and Chang Chu swimming towards the lake.

"Did you know? In fact, there is a quite famous couple in our school. The woman once said a very classic thing to the man." Wright suddenly said, "About the giant squid."

"What?" Chang Chu asked with a frown.

"You know, not all girls in the world like to take the initiative like you do. In that couple, the man chased the woman, but at that time the girl really didn't like the boy." Wright said with a smile, "One time the boy wanted to invite a girl to hang out with him, but his method was not very good and the girl was completely angered."

Chang Chu asked: "So what did that girl say?"

"She said," Wright said emotionally, "even if I had to choose between you and the giant squid, I wouldn't hang out with you."

Chang Chu's eyes wandered, he gently placed his palms on Wright's chest, and said in a soft voice: "What about you?"

"What?"

"If you had to choose between me and the giant squid, what would you choose?"

"Didn't you already see it? The two of us are playing with the giant squid right now." Wright shrugged and said in a pretentious manner, "Children only make choices. I want both you and the giant squid."

"As expected, you are..." Chang Chu's hands on Wright's chest suddenly used force and pushed Wright hard into the black lake behind him. "You've damaged your brain! You need to use the lake water to wake up!"
