Chapter 232 Reminder, Knowledge, Night Tour
On Saturday evening, Hermione, feeling somewhat better, took Harry and Ron to the library to look up information, trying to uncover the secret of the golden egg.
Ron was playing with exploding cards on the side, and Aiden was sitting opposite him with a book.
Suddenly, Ron's cards fell and flames appeared. Aiden waved his hand lightly to suppress the flames on the cards.
The sound of a snap of fingers echoed, and Aiden sealed Ron, Hermione, and Harry into a silent spell.
The protective circle formed by the spell cut off the connection between the few people and the sounds from the outside world.
"Ron, what are you doing, are you going to let Madam Pince come and kill us?" Aiden rolled his eyes.
"Well, it's your fault that you always stay here. If we had figured out the secret of the golden eggs, we would have told you about it," Ron said confidently.
"Oh, really? Then let me ask you, what kind of animal language is the sound inside the golden egg?" Aiden raised his eyebrows.
"I..." Ron was speechless for a moment.
"Wait, you know this is the language of some creature?" Hermione understood what Aiden meant.
"Hehe, you know." Aiden stretched, lifted the spell and left.
"What does he mean? Why does he seem weird?" Ron asked in confusion.
Harry reached out to stop him, but it was too late.
Madam Pince appeared behind the three people like the wind, and then the three people were blown out of the library.
"Hermione, did you understand what Aiden meant?" Harry asked puzzled.
"He came to remind us of the clue about the golden egg. Harsh language? I need to go back and check it out."
Hermione lowered her head, recalling the knowledge in her mind, then left the two of them and left.
Aiden walked out of the library and prepared to go to the Room of Requirement.
"Just tell Harry the news like that? Aren't you a match for him?" An old voice came from behind.
"Have you had enough of playing with rocks?" Aiden teased.
"The living should not envy the dead, and I still have things to do." A firm look flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.
"It seems that the sadness on the stone has not infected you." Aiden nodded.
"Let's not talk about me. You haven't answered my question yet." Dumbledore brought the topic back to Aiden.
"Because there are foreign enemies, professor." Aiden narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?" said Dumbledore.
“Yes, although Harry and I are competitors, on a higher level, we are both warriors of Hogwarts and have the same opponent.
I can stand by and watch Fleur or Krum get into trouble, but Harry, if a little help can increase Hogwarts' chances of success, why not do it? "
Aiden smoothed his hair at the temples and said with a smile on his delicate face.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to sacrifice so much for Hogwarts. It's really touching." Dumbledore clapped his hands softly.
"So, is there any reward?" Aiden stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together.
Dumbledore: "..."
"I heard that your old friend has a magic that combines the Unbreakable Curse and the Fierce Fire Curse..." Greed seemed to be flashing in the dragon's heterochromatic eyes.
"I'll help you mail it, but you have to convince him yourself."
The old bee spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing we could do.
"That's enough."
........
On the other side, Hermione rushed back to the room and began to look for her copy of "A Thousand Languages".
"...soft singing in the water and shrill screams on the shore...that's it!" Hermione successfully found the answer from the book.
She ran into the boys' dormitory and kicked open Harry and Ron's door.
"Bloody hell, this is a boys' dormitory!" Ron, who had taken off half of his clothes, immediately picked up the clothes on the ground.
Harry, wearing only a pair of shorts, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
Hermione didn't care about anything else and went straight to Harry's bed.
"I found it. The sound playing inside the golden egg is the language of mermaids. We need to put it in water to hear normal sounds."
Hermione reached out to pull at Harry's quilt, but Harry wrapped himself tighter.
"Uh, Hermione, you should go out first, at least let them change their clothes." Neville helped from the side.
After a lot of commotion, several people dressed up.
Seamus brought a bucket of water, and Harry soaked the golden egg in it and turned on the button.
The others immediately covered their ears the moment the golden egg opened.
But this time, there was no shrill scream, but instead a gentle singing voice.
Hermione cast a loud voice on the bucket, and the singing echoed throughout the dormitory.
'Go find us where our voices come from, we cannot sing on the ground.'
'You have only one hour to retrieve the treasure we have taken.'
"That's so cool." Seamus was very excited.
"Only one hour, and underwater. What should I do to stay underwater for an hour?" Harry frowned.
"Maybe you could use the Summoning Charm to summon a set of diving equipment directly from the Muggle town!" Ron suggested.
"No, that's too obvious. The flying diving equipment will be discovered by Muggles and then we'll be exposed." Hermione rejected it decisively.
"Then what do you say we should do?" Ron's proposal was rejected, and he threw the question to Hermione.
"Well, turn Harry into a submarine... drain the Black Lake... Oh, and you can get information from Sirius and learn how to turn into a frog through Animagus."
Hermione slapped her head and had an idea even more outrageous than Aiden's.
"That'll take a month. You might as well suggest that Harry stick his head into the water and convince the mermaid to bring up the treasure." Ron rolled his eyes.
"No, we have to check the library." Hermione said, unable to think of a solution.
"But curfew is about to begin!" Neville reminded.
"But Harry doesn't have much time left. There are only three days left." Seamus echoed, looking eager to try.
"Ron, Hermione, follow me."
Harry took the Invisibility Cloak, the Marauder's Map and the Golden Egg, and went to the library with his two friends.
In the library, Ron, Hermione and Harry tried for a long time but failed to find the corresponding information.
Finally, the three of them were so sleepy that they had to return to the Gryffindor common room.
On the way, because the three of them were in such a hurry inside the invisibility cloak, Harry's leg got stuck in the disappearing invisible stairs.
The golden egg and the map fell to the ground with a sharp sound.
“Turn it off!”
Harry called out hurriedly, and Ron snatched the golden egg back and closed the lid.
But it was too late. Filch and Snape, who had heard the noise, came from both ends of the corridor, casting fluorescent spells at the same time.
"Oh, Professor Snape." Filch bowed to Snape.
"It seems that there are students here." Snape discovered something with his powerful perception.
"Well, shall we check the corridor together?" suggested Filch.
"it is good."
Filch held up the lamp and looked around.
Snape raised his wand, and just as he was about to cast a spell, Moody arrived.
