Chapter 641: Further Contact with the Merfolk

"What does it take to become a disguised Magus?" Hermione asked, intrigued by the spell. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Magus the Disguise is very rare, they are all born, not acquired, and most wizards need a wand or potion to change their appearance!" Tonks said, "but you can ...... it with hard work."

While the conversation between Hermione and Tonks continues, Evan and Lupin are also talking.

"Aven, don't worry about Tonks, she's her own person, we've known each other for a long time, she's always been like this!" Lupin said with a wry smile, helplessly looking at Tonks changing hair color on the other side of the room, "You may not know, her mother Andormeda is Sirius's cousin, and she was also removed from the Black family......"

"Sirius told me that Andomeda was his favorite cousin, and was removed from the Black family tree because she was married to a Muggle-born wizard!" said Aven, "I believe Tonks, is there anything else, I'm going back without me!"

He was ready to leave, not wanting to stay here and disturb Lupin and Tonks to be alone and develop a relationship.

Besides, Sirius and Harry were still screaming at the shack waiting for him and Hermione.

"You two really shouldn't stay here for too long, if someone else finds out, it will be troublesome!" Lupin nodded, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Evan, "This is the gift you asked me to buy for you some time ago, they are all items made by the best craftsmen, they are very beautiful, I personally selected, those mermaids should be satisfied." ”

"I hope so!" Evan sighed as he took the thing.

It's really difficult to deal with mermaids, and he has communicated several times in succession, and he has worked hard to barely make those mermaids not turn around and run away after seeing him, but that's all, if you want to further deepen your feelings and trust, you need to continue to give gifts.

Fortunately, through this time of contact, Evan discovered that in addition to music, merfolk also like various objects made by humans.

For example, furniture, mirrors, all kinds of accessories, etc., these things are very popular among the merfolk clan of Hogwarts.

They are willing to exchange some herbs and magical materials that grow deep at the bottom of the lake for these items.

Among them, all the precious and rare magic materials were selected by Aven to make potions and alchemy.

The rest of the generic goods were given to Fred and George, who were used to produce prank props.

The merfolk took out these materials far beyond the original value of the items exchanged with Aven, and the transaction was very profitable.

Even without the clue to the Ravenclaw Secret Treasure Key, he was willing to keep the deal going.

More than ten minutes later, Evan and Hermione apparitions appeared and returned to the Screaming Shack.

Sirius announced that Evan could use Apparition on his own, and gave him a copy of "Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Apparition", an exam textbook printed by the Ministry of Magic that summarizes the various problems that Phantom Apparition is prone to and how to deal with them.

..............................................................................

Unsure how long it would take to communicate and trade with the merfolk, Evan decided to act after dinner.

He said hello to Hermione and asked her to cover for him.

In the eyes of others, the two of them, like other couples, went on a date after dinner in a secluded place inside the castle.

But in reality, Evan is alone and has dived into the lake outside.

Because of her worries, Hermione originally wanted to go with Aven, but was persuaded by Aven!

It wasn't so calm under the lake, and it was easier for him to move alone, so he didn't have to be distracted to take care of Hermione.

He and Hermione slipped out of the castle in the crowd after dinner, and by this time, it was not yet completely dark outside.

Many Durmstrang students were leaning against the side of the boat and chatting, and there was a noise of laughter and noise.

With the great shadow of the castle and the statues on the lawn, they rounded Durmstran's ship, and Evan walked from the other end to the lake.

The water was cold, and his two quickly numb feet tread on the mud and sand and the slippery, slimy stones, and kept slipping.

The cold wind blew, and he shivered, took out his wand, and cast two spells on himself as fast as he could.

A bubble appeared above Aven's head, and it was a bubble spell!

Under the effect of the warm-up spell, the lake water is no longer cold and biting, with a little coolness.

But considering the surrounding temperature, it's still not very comfortable to soak in it.

This is one of the reasons why Evan didn't let Hermione come with her, on the coldest night of January, diving into the dark and cold waters of the lake, and coming into contact with ugly and even somewhat terrifying merfolk is not a pleasant experience.

If he had a choice, he would rather curl up on the couch by the warm and cozy fire in the common room, quietly reading.

Evan shook his head, took one last look at Hermione standing on the shore, rolled over, and plunged deeper into the bottom of the lake.

There was silence in his ears, and he swam freely through a strange black and hazy landscape, avoiding the places frequented by giant squid and the large aquatic weeds that lurked the water monster Grindillowe, and swam to the mermaid village at the bottom of the lake.

The merfolk tribe was very lively tonight, as if some kind of sacrifice was being held, and the merfolk all came out of the rough stone dwelling.

As Evan approached, he saw more than 200 merfolk gathered in the circular square in the middle of the village.

They were rarely dressed in costumes, all with long hair, and their iron-gray skin was painted with strange patterns painted with dye.

As in the impression, the fishmen slapped the lake with their thick and powerful silver tails from time to time.

His dark green hair was long and unkempt, but it was adorned with shells, corals, and pearls, and pebbles strung with thick strings around his neck, as well as on his body, which was adorned with ornaments.

They were talking about something, spitting bubbles incessantly, as if waiting for something.

Evan landed at the edge of the circular square, took the various items that Lupin had given him, took them from his cloth bag, and placed them at the bottom of the lake.

He was eavesdropping on the merfolk as he guessed what they were doing.

Noticing Aiwen's appearance, many mermaids showed a hint of joy on their faces.

It didn't take long for mermaids to come and trade with him.

They picked out their favorite items from the things that Evan had brought with them, and then, back to their homes, they brought out piles of materials to exchange.

The whole exchange process went very quickly and was incredibly easy.

The merfolk didn't bargain at all, and the value of the materials they gave to Evan was very high and the quantity was very high, far exceeding the actual value of the items he brought to him.
