Chapter 686 Mermaid

The little witch looked up at him, her eyes full of confusion, "I don't understand... isn't it an honor to be the most powerful wizard in the world?"

"The most powerful wizard is Dumbledore!" Ernie said without hesitation, "This has nothing to do with Quidditch!"

"In my opinion, there is no difference." The little witch shook her head, "I think a powerful wizard is a more meaningful honor. After all, there is the most powerful wizard in the world, but there is no most powerful Quidditch player. "

"Of course, it may be difficult to achieve the title of the world's number one wizard, but if it is just the title of the number one wizard student in the school, it should be easy to achieve, right?"

Ernie opened his mouth, his face filled with "Does this have anything to do with my problem?"

Although he didn't react at all, the other little badgers showed thoughtful expressions.

Number one in the school.

No matter how much I like Quidditch, if I have the opportunity to become the most powerful wizard student in the school, it would be very interesting to think about it!

For some reason, when the little witch began to talk, the little badgers felt that the Chuuji souls deep in their hearts began to burn.

"Albus, what are you doing at this late hour?" Professor Flitwick stepped forward and struggled to keep up with Principal Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked around with a serious expression, "Filius, I'm sorry to interrupt your banquet so late, but as the host, we must ensure that there are no other abnormalities at the competition venue."

Professor Flitwick twisted his neck unnaturally, "How did you know that I was planning to...well, I mean, there is no banquet tonight, and I didn't drink, no, no!"

He emphasized it three times.

Dumbledore nodded, "Well, let's go take a look at the Black Lake first. A student fell into the water tonight. This is very unusual. Although Xiao Ke is here, this falling into the water has only happened once in so many years."

Flitwick curled his lips, "That's what those little wizards asked for. They want to attract other people's attention through some different methods. You know, every year, eight out of ten people say that they almost fell into the water." It's as if the Black Lake has some magical power that can pull them into the water."

"But those people didn't really fall into the water, do you understand what I mean?" Principal Dumbledore's eyes lit up with a blue light, "Mr. Creevey said that he just felt like he heard some singing, and waited until the reaction When we came over, we had already fallen into the water.”

But Professor Flitwick obviously had a different view, "He lied to you because he must have made a bet with someone that there was something under the water. He was the only one who had the courage to go into the water, and then he actually fell in."

"Hmm... there is something under the water." Principal Dumbledore fell into deep thought, "What could it be?"

Professor Flitwick looked at him and then at the dark road ahead, feeling a little headache, "Hey, hey, I'm just joking, you won't take it seriously, will you?!"

Principal Dumbledore turned to look at him, "But what you said is very possible..."

"Are you serious? Wait!" Professor Flitwick's eyes widened, "Do you want to go down to the lake and have a look?"

Principal Dumbledore did not answer him, but turned around and walked towards the lake more steadily.

Professor Flitwick looked as if he was about to cry, "Hey, come on, the Black Lake is the territory of the mermaids. Although I agree to come out with you to inspect the site, this does not include the territory of the mermaids and centaurs~"

The two soon arrived at the Black Lake.

The Black Lake is a place that new students must pass through when enrolling. Many years ago, the four founders took a boat and crossed the Black Lake before arriving at Hogwarts Castle and founded this famous wizarding school.

There are many aquatic magical creatures here, including giant squids called crocodiles, grindylows, and mermaids.

Among them, the merfolk are a whole tribe. They occupy the territory at the bottom of the lake and raise Grindylow and Lobaworms.

Mermaids are a rather magical race. Generally speaking, freshwater mermaids are not as warlike as saltwater mermaids, and cold water mermaids are not as beautiful as hot water mermaids.

Well, of course, this doesn’t mean that you should fish them out and soak them in hot soup or something, but it just means that the mermaids living in tropical waters are really beautiful. For example, in Greece, there have been legends of sirens.

What you need to know is that there has always been a legend about Kunpeng in the flower-growing country, "There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. When it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng, I don't know. It’s thousands of miles away.”

To put it simply...a fish can turn into a bird.

The Siren can be said to be a low-end version of Kunpeng.

Because it can also turn into fish and birds, but usually it has a human face and a bird body, or a mermaid.

Of course, there are also books that say they are snakes with human bodies and tails.

His usual hobbies are singing, flirting with passing sailors, and then happily eating the prey.

Don’t be too moisturized in your childhood.

It’s just that the force value is so low that it’s hard to look directly at them, and it feels like they exist on the path of many heroes.

Yeah, the kind that kicks him away.

In Greek legends, sirens are all succubi, but in the black lake at Hogwarts, there are obviously not only female mermaids but also male mermaids.

Of course, the appearance of a male mermaid is even more difficult to describe.

Now, Principal Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick, whose looks are above average, are going to visit a mermaid who will lose her temper after seeing her.

Professor Flitwick secretly thought to himself, "We won't be dragged back by the mermaids to become the lord of the village, right?!"

With a very uneasy feeling, Professor Flitwick followed Principal Dumbledore and moved step by step to the Black Lake, and then took a look inside.

The dark lake surface looked a bit lively, mainly because the wind and rain outside were a bit strong. Under the wind and rain, even the black lake inevitably rippled.

The waves are still a bit strong.

Professor Flitwick only stood for a short while, but he felt that his trouser legs were soaked and sticky, and he wanted to dry them with a charm.

It's a pity that he has never dealt with mermaids, so he doesn't know if he should release a magic at this time to indicate his arrival.

Because there are rumors that mermaids don't like human magic.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Dumbledore suddenly let out a very sharp and unpleasant cry.

Professor Flitwick was startled. He looked at the Headmaster in astonishment and asked in disbelief, "Hey, Albus, what happened to you just now? Are you possessed by some ghost? Why is this happening? Making such a terrible cry?"

However, Principal Dumbledore ignored him and stared directly at the lake, as if expecting something to appear.
