Chapter 1043 Unavoidable Accident

At 8: in the morning, the long and exciting novel experience finally ended.

Inside the space locked by the mirror curse, Vincent and Hermione were sitting snuggled in a huge bubble.

"Krum is here again." He raised his hand and pointed at the figure that was diving quickly. "Your level of Transfiguration is pretty good. You can even partially transform a human body."

Hermione, with a ruddy face, looked over casually.

Still wearing only underwear, his head had turned into a somewhat scary shark head.

Human body transformation has always symbolized the highest level of Transfiguration, and many adult wizards may not be able to perform partial transformation like Krum.

Although it didn't look particularly complete, he was finally able to breathe underwater for a long time.

However, compared to Vincent who was able to make his skeleton, body shape and even appearance exactly the same as Snape, his Transfiguration skills were still far behind.

Hermione lay on Vincent's lap with a faint smile, "Are you still jealous?"

He gently moved her scattered long hair, "You definitely won't believe me if I say there is no, but there is a little bit."

"Hmm~" Hermione's little mouth curled up slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Being jealous is a sign of affection, and this applies to both men and women.

After about an hour, Krum, with a shark head and a human body, could finally be seen again.

He rose very quickly, just like a real shark.

Moreover, his skin was not as pale as before. He might have used a potion or a spell with warming effect.

"Strange..." Vincent noticed that he looked back from time to time.

Hermione also noticed that his floating posture was a little awkward, as if he was on guard against something, "Is he in trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the water at the bottom of the lake seemed to be disturbed and rushed up.

Seeing this, Krum, who was not far from the lake, stopped and dived quickly, passing by the disturbed water.

"This is..." Hermione sat up and recognized that it was a water blade spell fired from the bottom of the lake.

The Black Lake at Hogwarts, like the Forbidden Forest, is home to many different kinds of magical creatures.

The only people who can cast magic underwater and shoot water blade spells with some attack power from the bottom of the lake are mermaids, who have a strong sense of territory like the centaurs.

After dodging the attack, Krum stopped diving, straightened his body, and jumped towards the surface of the lake at a faster speed.

The mermaids did not attack again, probably because they were out of their detection range.

Vincent and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

If they went to rescue them, it might not expose the fact that they were hiding in the Black Lake, but it would definitely alert the Death Eaters.

Vincent lowered his tightly grasped alder wand, "It seems that the attack just now was just a warning."

Hermione was still on guard at the bottom of the lake. "The Black Lake is too dangerous. If the warriors accidentally break into it and offend those underwater magical creatures..."

It is difficult for an adult wizard to guarantee a successful escape without special training, let alone a student who does not have much practical experience.

Once you are injured underwater, even if it is just a small cut, the cold lake water will aggravate hypothermia, which may eventually lead to confusion or even coma.

Vincent hugged her gently and said, "Don't worry, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not let this happen. They should reach an agreement with the underwater magical creatures in advance."

Hermione was relieved after hearing this, "Yes, as long as there are no accidents, the warriors are safe."

Hmm - accident?

The two looked at each other.

The Death Eaters hiding in the campus actually don't need to prepare in advance. They just need to cause a riot at the beginning of the project, such as killing a mermaid, which will make them mistakenly think that the wizards have broken the agreement and attack innocent warriors.

"what should we do?"

"Go back and tell Professor Dumbledore first. He can speak the language of mermaids."

Back at the castle, breakfast had already begun in the auditorium.

Vincent and Hermione didn't stop and walked straight towards the stairs.

When we arrived at the headmaster's office on the eighth floor, Dumbledore was not there.

A round table with claw-shaped legs was placed on top of a stone meditation basin and a few small bottles were placed next to it.

Vincent walked to the portrait of Phineas Black, who was staring with wide eyes. "Principal Black, where is Professor Dumbledore?"

"Humph!" Phineas turned his face away, "Don't you have that communicator? Go contact him yourself!"

He hated Muggles to begin with, and ever since Sirius and old Shafik founded the Prongs brand, he felt that the Black family had completely degenerated to the point of imitating Muggle technological principles to create magical home appliances.

Therefore, he hated Vincent, the instigator of all this.

Even though he didn't like it much before, now he obviously hates it to the extreme.

"Oh." Vincent turned on the projection screen of the magic communicator in front of Phineas, making the latter so angry that he turned around and faced him with the back of his sparsely haired head.

It took a long time for the call to be connected, and it was not difficult to see from the background that Dumbledore was in the Ministry of Magic.

"Professor, are you able to talk now?"

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, child."

Vincent first created a soundproof barrier around him before stating his and Hermione's guesses.

"Professor, if the Death Eaters really take this approach, we can't lie in ambush for 24 hours until the project begins."

Dumbledore was not surprised, as if he had already thought of this possibility.

He groaned thoughtfully, "I see. I will greet the mermaids in advance."

After hanging up the phone, Vincent met Phineas's big, curious eyes.

"Principal Black, do you want to know--"

"I don't want to!" Phineas covered his ears angrily, turned his back, and faced him with the back of his sparsely haired head again.

The headmasters were all snickering, and Hermione couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Dumbledore's face is still very useful. If the accident is really unavoidable, the underwater magical creatures in the Black Lake will be informed of the situation in advance. At least they will not kill the warriors if they are prepared.

Vincent's mood was no longer heavy either. He turned around and looked curiously at the meditation basin on the round table.

Now that you are here, it would be a shame not to take a look.

There are so many memories, which one should I start with?

Hermione was still very reserved, but just like before, she refused sternly at first, and then started to choose with Vincent.

"Look at this first." She kept her eyes on the door of the principal's office, but her little hands quickly poured the memories in the bottle into the meditation basin.

"Hey! You two little bastards, do you think we don't exist?" Phineas was so angry that his beard stood up.

However, nothing he said was of any use, as Vincent even shook the wand in his hand provocatively.
