I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

,!

"Honestly, I think it might be a little harder for these kids - but if they can think of a solution, it shouldn't be too big of a problem?"

Ms. Maxim, who was sitting on the chair, exchanged her crossed legs. Her movements were graceful and inconsistent with her huge body, making her look a little weird.

Dumbledore smiled and said: "If they can think of using a confusion spell on themselves, the Mermaid's Song will have no effect on them."

Karkaroff on the side didn't look very happy, since he just heard the specific content of the second challenge.

"Dumbledore! You didn't say that the content of the second competition will cause amnesia! What if Krum forgets the Seeker's sense of smell that he relies on for a living?"

Before Dumbledore could speak, Grindelwald glanced at Karkaroff, who immediately fell silent.

However, Dumbledore still explained gently: "This is the result of the rune inscription. It essentially blocks a user's memory, rather than erasing that memory - if they want to complete the game in the end, Just find a way to unlock this inscription."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Karkaroff instinctively wanted to snort, but he immediately suppressed it - Dumbledore is a good talker, but Grindelwald is obviously not.

Hearing Karkaroff's stiff cough, Ms. Maxim, who was originally calm, also cleared her throat: "I really hope they didn't encounter any trouble at the bottom of the lake..."

…

"Listen, the easiest way to pass the mermaid song is to cast a confusion spell on yourself, so that this essentially magical song cannot affect your brain. After all, an already confused brain cannot be confused. Confused,” Sean explained.

The Mermaid Song is indeed easy to solve, for wizards who understand this kind of singing - coincidentally, Sean heard Grindelwald say it when he was studying with him.

Daisy on the side was a little puzzled. Her face that had penetrated the bubble looked bulging: "If we are under a confusion spell, how are we going to get to the center?"

Stephanie said: "If the wizard's spell skills are strong enough, he can control the strength of the confusion spell, so that even if his mind is in a state of confusion, he can have a rough target - but since there are three people in the team, it can be controlled by Other wizards helped remotely within an unaffected range, which should be one of the purposes of the referees setting up this project."

Sean nodded: "Originally, it should have been solved by three people working together, but we have a simpler way..."

Stephanie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "I see, that's right..."

Daisy turned her head back and forth like a spectator at a tennis court: "There is another way, what way? Why did you think of it all at once?"

Sean smiled: "Isn't the solution right beneath us?"

"Underneath me?" Daisy looked down and saw that she was surrounded by a group of resilient water plants.

She suddenly realized: "Yes."

The horse-shaped water monster is different from the wizard. It has a much higher magic resistance than the normal wizard, and the biological instinct is more powerful than the wizard.

"The Mermaid's Song doesn't work on the Equestrian Water Monster. Well, it's too easy for us." Sean still didn't say a word.

It was so simple that he felt that someone had opened a back door for him - he maintained a good friendship with the Equus in the Black Lake, and it was impossible for Professor Dumbledore not to know this...

Sure enough, the old man still hid a lot of things from the organizer behind his back...

"Just let the water monster carry me there. It's not safe if all three of us are in a state of confusion." Sean said.

Stephanie and Daisy both nodded, this was indeed the best choice.

Both of them raised their wands, ready to attack the mermaids if anything unexpected happened. Moreover, although there is no one around now, other contestants may come over at any time, and they may interrupt Sean's progress in order to prevent Sean from winning.

As he said, Sean let the little Selma Lake Monster lurk aside to confirm again that there was no danger - he even opened the entrance and exit of the ring. If the sea monster suddenly appeared, the adult Selma The lake monster will come out and kill all the creatures here.

The flexible water plants of the Equus gently wrapped around Sean, and then swam directly towards the center of the mermaid group under Sean's command.

Sean, who had cast a confusion spell on himself, felt his world turned upside down. He suddenly lost his sense of direction, but he still maintained the most basic sobriety.

As soon as he entered the effective range of the Mermaid Song, another chaotic feeling also tried to rush into Sean's mind, but his head, which was originally a lake of slurry, refused the entry of another disruptor.

The mermaids looked at each other and saw the huge horse-shaped water monster swimming towards the thing they wanted to protect. The horse-shaped water monster was carrying a contestant they were supposed to stop.

This makes the fishermen a little confused. The horse-shaped water monster is considered an external force. Does it need to be stopped?

The mermaid leader thought for a moment, and then he let out a series of piercing cries, indicating that the tribesmen did not need to take any additional action - this was not within the scope of the agreement between them and the wizard.

In this way, the horse-shaped water monster carrying Sean passed a large group of mermaids very smoothly. The mermaids opened their mouths and kept singing songs that could confuse their consciousness. However, this was of no use to the horse-shaped water monster.

Soon, the horse-shaped water monster took Sean to the center, where five thick chains each had a stone locked at the end.

"This is what I'm looking for..." Sean didn't have much consciousness left, but it was enough for him to react to his final goal.

He swam across the lake in a daze, and then held a rune-engraved stone.

A warm feeling surged from his arm - a strange metaphor came to Sean's mind after he woke up.

It's like a mermaid peed on her arm...

He shook his head to throw away the inappropriate metaphor and sobered up completely.

As expected, the small piece of lost memory resurfaced in his heart again, and to Sean's surprise, the rune-engraved stone not only lifted the shield on that memory, but also unlocked the confusion spell.

He originally planned to catch it in his hand and then go back to let Stephanie and the others lift the confusion spell for him.

This is a good thing. If you carry it with you, wouldn't it make you immune to the confusion spell... Sean looked at the rune-engraved stone in his hand, and an idea came to his mind.

But just thinking about it, the inscription stone was tightly tied with chains, and it was obvious that they were not going to let them take it away.

The immunity confusion spell is not a very useful thing... Sean comforted himself.

Only then did he have the clear consciousness to look around.

The mermaids were not close to the center. They seemed to be just the guardians on the periphery. When Sean entered, they were still singing, but they had no intention of hindering Sean's actions.

The center is the intersecting point of the five chains. The chains are tied to a pile of white bones. The bones have different shapes, including those of mermaids, humans, fishes, and beasts...

All kinds of white bones formed a mountain of bones, which looked extremely cold at the bottom of the dark lake.

There is a place like this at the bottom of the Black Lake. Is this the mermaid's territory? But I saw that weird sea monster here before...

Sean looked at the mountain of bones and suddenly his eyes froze.

That is……

He turned around and looked around, making sure that the mermaids didn't care about him and then swam over.

There is a small flat land in the center of the bone mountain. It seems to have been artificially repaired, and there are several skulls scattered in the center of the flat land.

That skull was the source of Sean's doubts.

He's seen this stuff before.

When he rashly broke into another secret room in Slytherin, he accidentally made eye contact with the basilisk living there. They made eye contact physically - he pouted.

Because of the existence of arrogance, Sean could look directly at everything, but because his ability was not strong enough at the time, he was still comatose for a whole week.

According to Dave, the Basilisk brought back a strange skull from the Black Lake, saying it could help Sean.

It was a strange white-headed skull. It should have been some kind of canine when it was alive. Its entire body was a pale fluorescent white, and dark red fire was surging inside its sharp fangs.

The fire inside jumped into Sean's body, helping him recover faster.

Sean also took the skull away at the time, but he didn't study anything, so he just left it in the ring.

Now, there are several skulls almost identical to the one in his ring scattered in front of Sean's eyes.

Is this where the basilisk got its skull?

Sean lowered his head and looked carefully, and determined that it was almost the same as the one in his ring.

There was a dull firelight shining inside the skull, which was not conspicuous in the dim lake water.

Wait... Sean was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shrank.

The shape of this skull...

It looks very similar to the wolf head on the sea monster’s waist!

And those wolf heads also breathed fire from their mouths after the sea monster woke up.

Could it be that this is the lair of the sea monster, and are these the bones left by its kind?

But why is this place occupied by mermaids and used as a competition venue?

No, I should say, why did I see that sea monster, but now it has disappeared without a trace?

This is so weird…

While he was thinking, a strong mermaid closest to Sean suddenly made a series of harsh sounds.

"Human! Don't linger!"

Sean raised his head in surprise: "You can speak human language?"

That mermaid seemed to be the leader. It bared its teeth at Sean: "A little, not much!"

I’ve heard that Professor Dumbledore can speak mermaid language, but I didn’t know that mermaids can actually speak English. Although they don’t have many words, they still have a Cockney accent...

Sean scratched his head: "Am I done with the game?"

"Of course, don't linger." The mermaid leader said again.

The completion of the second level was so unrealistic... Sean pointed to the mountain of bones beneath him: "Is this your territory?"

"No, we want aquatic plants and fish, there are a lot of them! We don't have them here." The mermaid answered all questions. Although she looked fierce, she was surprisingly easy to talk to...

Sean was still in no hurry to leave: "Then Professor Dumbledore asked you to guard this place?"

The mermaid nodded: "Yes, Dumbledore! If he gives you something, we will come!"

This place is not the territory of the mermaids. It is used as a temporary competition venue for the mermaids to come and guard... Sean nodded thoughtfully.

He continued to ask: "Then when did you come here?"

The mermaid leader looked a little impatient, but still answered Sean's question.

"After you enter the water, we will come over."

"Then when you came here, did you notice any strange creatures here?"

"No, there has never been anything alive here, not water plants, fish, mermaids, Grindylow will live here." The mermaid leader replied.

It's strange, the mermaids should be moving much faster in the lake than him. Although he initially used the trajectory flash to shorten the distance, he still swam for a long time...

Didn't the mermaids find that weird sea monster? No, to be precise, as the aborigines in the Black Lake, in their impression, there is no biological activity here.

If there were sea monsters living here, they wouldn't know about it.

"Is there anything weird about this place itself?" Sean tried to ask.

The mermaid leader bared his teeth at him impatiently: "I'm just a mermaid!"

Sean: "..."

It seemed that he couldn't continue asking... However, what was interesting was that Sean found that his affinity with magical animals did not seem to be that effective when facing magical animals with high intelligence in human form.

This may have something to do with the mermaids communicating with Professor Dumbledore.

Sean asked the last question: "Can I take something with me? You know, souvenirs or something..."

"Troublesome humans!" the mermaid leader said, "Except for chains and stones, everything else is fine! It's not fish or aquatic plants!"

After hearing what the other party said, Sean quickly opened the ring.

Under the shocked gazes of the mermaids, a huge tail stretched out.

The tail is extremely flexible. It stretches and curls, like a shovel, directly surrounding part of the bone mountain.

"Hey, good, here's a little more -" Sean directed with his wand, adding a few spells from time to time.

Then, the mermaids watched as the tail rolled up part of the bone mountain and got into the boy's ring.

They can't even sing anymore.

The mermaid leader was shocked: "Magic!"

Sean nodded: "Magic!"

The other party immediately put on an expression of admiration: "You are as awesome as old Dumbledore!"

"Not to the point of not to—"

Just as he was talking, the light from the magic spell suddenly lit up from the far side, and Sean shrank. This was the signal he and Stephanie had agreed upon after being attacked!

No more greetings, he grabbed the horse-shaped water monster's mane of water plants. The mermaid leader was pushed aside by the current. When he looked up again, the horse-shaped water monster and Sean had swam away quickly.

Soon, Sean saw Stephanie and Daisy on the edge of the gully. They were guarding the area directly in front of him, which was a dense area of ​​aquatic plants.

Water columns and light driven by magic spells are constantly attacking!

How audacious... Sean narrowed his eyes.
