Chapter 266: Black Lake Crisis (5)

In the evening, Dumbledore and Emilia waited anxiously by the lake, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and a crooked moon floated quietly among the stars, and the god of magic had a tactful love affair with the god of the moon, which ended in tragedy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Auror Office had already sent enough Aurors to arrive, and even if they took immediate action, they could rescue the three students. Relying on the magical magic props such as the gill grass, even in the water, the Aurors have the confidence to kill the mermaids and solve the hostages.

But Albus Dumbledore seemed to have some concerns, and he opposed Rufus's proposal and insisted on waiting for news from the Sirens. Under such circumstances, Minister Fudge's final decision was still in favor of the chief magician of the Wizengamot, and many Aurors waited quietly on the edge of the Black Lake.

The surface of the Black Lake looked very calm today, as if yesterday's storm had exhausted the magic of the elves in the lake overnight, and the center of the lake occasionally flashed with an unknown light under the sparkling waves, which was the herdsman of the mermaid tribe who was driving the fish back to the tribe.

The superstar magic octopus swam freely in the black lake, curious about a group of black-robed wizards on the shore, its tentacles often sticking out of the water, as if it wanted to shake hands with Dumbledore, huge dark eyes, curious to look at a group of Aurors.

At this point, the students learned that three students were trapped in the Black Lake, and all of them were asked not to approach the Black Lake for the time being. Prefects and professors stood guard at the edge of the Black Lake to prevent any students from venturing near it.

The remaining nine warriors were told that they could not go to the Black Lake to find materials for the time being, and that after the incident was resolved, the Seman wizards would announce a remedy. Penelope Criwatt, Hermione, and Ginny had woken up, and the school doctor, Madam Pomfrey, had examined them and found that they were not in serious trouble, and had allowed them to leave the hospital.

The three of them got together with Xie An and Qiu, and Xie An inquired about the specific situation in detail. But Morten's magic was so effective that after a night's sleep, Hermione and Penelo Crivat could barely remember yesterday's events except for Ginny.

For a while, Xie An didn't have any good way. He has never been able to use memory spells and regents very well, which has a lot to do with the picture of hell in his soul. Any link between souls could cause the Hell Picture to explode, not to mention that at this sensitive time, he could not even use the destruction magic, let alone risk touching the memories of Hermione and Penelope Crivat.

The headmaster doesn't have time for the time being, and the most important thing now is to find a way to rescue Cedric Diggory and the three, and when this is done, he will sort out the weirdness in it. The fact that the Tribal Morten easily escaped the seal and dared to take revenge on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is in itself suspicious.

"Something is wrong, the Black Lagoon is too quiet today, and in the evening, the merfolk are still looking for and hunting down Cedric Diggory, but now, it's too quiet. The worry in Bones' eyes became even stronger, in fact, at first, she was more inclined to Rufus's method, sending the Aurors directly into the lake to find a way to rescue the three students.

Dundedo was silent for a while, he had already discovered the anomaly, the siren was a very good girl, but she was still too weak compared to the mermaid tribe's Moteng. Ordinary merfolk can't use magic at all, and the siren is a special case, and this water elf is just as kind and free by nature as any other lake elf, and in such a grim form, any inappropriate behavior of her may attract the attention of the cunning demon.

Unbeknownst to Dumbledore, of course, the Sirens had been betrayed by her jealous sisters!

This originally the most favored mermaid lady, in front of the siren, always felt that she was not as beautiful as her, and she was not welcomed without the siren. Pride and jealousy became evil thoughts, prompting her to discover the siren's secret and report it to the tribe's Morten.

Dad may have a little mercy for the Sirens, but not the Horde's Morten. Morten is powerful, its majesty is inviolable, and in the face of the betrayal of the siren, the only result is to kill her.

By the time the Sirens returned to the tribe with a slight sense of loss, the powerful merfolk who had hunted down the Hogwarts students had returned to the tribe, guarding the tribe and ensuring that any merfolk entering or leaving the tribe were checked. Morten tells these warriors that wizards have a dastardly transfiguration that can transform themselves into merfolk forms.

The sirens were worried about their mission, these warriors were too cautious, and the trident in their hands was smeared with poison, and the poison of the water serpent would kill any wizard at the slightest touch. Morten has lost his patience, he has ordered to kill those Hogwarts wizards, this makes the sirens nervous, where does Morten get the courage, is he really ready to go to war with the wizarding castle?

After crossing a trench, huge collapsed stone pillars surrounded the tribe, moss and algae preventing direct sunlight from penetrating. Merfolk don't like strong sunlight, which makes them feel like their scales are shrinking.

"Siren, father called you. As he left the tribe, the titular brother had ill will towards him, and his smile made the sirens even more nervous. Is there something wrong?

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know. ā€

"Oh, I want to go back and get some food first, I haven't eaten in a day and the hunt is so tiring. The siren pinched his short trident as if it were a ready arrow, ready to shoot at the enemy.

The contemptuous smile on the stout mermaid's face did not diminish in the slightest, but became more obvious, "No, siren, the matter is urgent, and when it comes to my father, you have something to eat." ā€

Siren looked at a mermaid warrior behind her brother-in-law, this is a warrior in the tribe who is responsible for defending the temple, usually rarely appears, a tall body of more than two meters, a strong and powerful tail more than a meter long, and a trident harpoon in his hand, all let the siren understand that he has no choice but to agree.

With the magic of the sirens, it may be more than enough to deal with a few children, but she falls short of an elite temple guard who can slit her throat with a trident before she can recite a full spell.

Although it was not yet confirmed, out of caution, the siren felt that she had been exposed, and she could only pray that the tribal leader had not yet learned the details, but only had doubts about her.

The three wizards in the nursery couldn't wait any longer. Time passed very slowly, and Cedric Diggory tried to dive in several times, but was stopped by Rose.

"We can't wait any longer, Rose, maybe something has happened to that mermaid, and we'll just wait here to die!" Victor Krum frowned, looking at the campfire that hadn't abated in the slightest, and couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart.

"We don't have a clue about what is going on out there right now, and going out is the same as gambling. If it is transferred, I am afraid that my life is still in danger. Rose said.

"Then what should I do, we can't wait here forever, if that fishman doesn't come back, we'll stay here forever?"

"Of course not, I have a way to give it a try. Cedric Diggory said.

"What's the solution?"

"The mermaid said just now, our current place is still in the mermaid tribe, and if we go out rashly, we may indeed be caught, but we can use the transformation technique first, and then go out after transformation. ā€

"Transfiguration, what Transfiguration, you don't want to cast Transfiguration on wizards, it could be very dangerous except for those top wizards!" Rose objected to Cedric Diggory's bold proposal.

"But there's no better way, isn't it, we have to make sure what's going on outside, the invisibility spell doesn't work, we have to choose to transform into underwater creatures, or we'll probably never be able to leave. Cedric Diggory looked at Victor Krum, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Bubbston School of Witchcraft and Wizardry did not allow the use of Transfiguration on wizards because it could cause irreversible damage, but the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the northwest corner of Europe allowed students to study human Transfiguration, which allows humans to transform into other creatures when they are no longer Animagus.

Victor Krum lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I can't guarantee success, this transfiguration technique is too complicated, and if the transformation fails, you may never be able to return to its original state. ā€

Durmstrang did allow students to try this, and many of them were good at it, such as another warrior, the witch Mira, who could easily turn wizards into brown bears or lambs. However, Victor Krum did not fully master this powerful magic, he was very talented at Quidditch, but he could only pass this transfiguration.

"How sure are you?" asked Cedric Diggory.

"I'm eighty percent sure of the transformation, but if I want to become a complete form, I only have five levels of certainty. Victor Krum said.

"And what can you make me look like?" said Cedric Diggory.

"Shark, I once practiced this spell on a small island in the North Sea. "The wizard's transfiguration spell can only allow wizards to master magic similar to the mutatification in Muggle legends, among which the Weasleys' bat transfiguration, Mira's brown bear transfiguration, and the black panther transfiguration often used by American wizards are the most common hit wizard transfiguration.

The difference between this transfiguration and Animagus is that it can help others to transform, but unfortunately because this transfiguration is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, it may cause irreparable damage, and in wizarding Britain, it has always been strictly forbidden to use it on wizards.

If parents are allowed to turn their children into bats and friends prank each other into various animals, not only will they encounter all kinds of accidental injuries, but these children will never identify with their wizarding identity, but will always think that they are some kind of animal.

The strange consequences of this have long been documented, and to this day, the use of these transfigurations is still strictly forbidden in Wizarding Britain.

"Sharks, but this is a freshwater lake, can sharks live?" objected Rose again.

"Shapeshifting, whether in fresh water or seawater, will allow you to briefly acquire the body of a shark, but I can't guarantee that you will be able to swim in the Black Lake after becoming a shark. The only time I did my own experiments was in the icy waters of the North Sea. Victor Krum told the truth.

The corners of Cedric Diggory's eyes twitched slightly, this was not the answer he wanted, but the matter had reached this point, if he couldn't take measures immediately, I was afraid that there would be no chance, Cedric Diggory could only bite the bullet and say: "That's fine, Victor Klum, I believe in you, now let's try." ā€

"Hey, Cedric Diggory, even if Krum succeeds, a shark appears in the Black Lagoon, isn't it more conspicuous than our wizards appearing in the Black Lagoon?, have you ever thought about what you're doing, do you want to die?" Rose couldn't help but stop.

"Once the transformation is complete, you can cast the invisibility spell on me again, so I can become an invisible shark. Cedric Diggory made up his mind and said to Rose Kossazi.

Rose tried to persuade her, but opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't find any suitable reason, snorted, and turned her head away from looking. Victor Krum took out his wand, calmed his emotions slightly, and returned himself to the state of the arena, Cedric Diggory stood on the edge of the waterhole, quietly waiting for the transformation.

"Bang!" As if a balloon filled with water exploded, the Transfiguration Spell struck Cedric Diggory, his entire body swelled, and in a few breaths, Cedric Diggory disappeared, and a shark more than two meters long in Cedric Diggory's clothes lay on the edge of the pool.

"Success! Success at once!" Just looking at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, Rose couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that Viktor Krum had really succeeded in turning Cedric Diggory into a shark that was not too big or small.

Victor Krum breathed a sigh of relief, as luck would have it, and it really worked. "Rose, it's your turn, use an invisibility spell on him. Victor Krum feigned composure and said to Rose.

Rose glared at Victor Krum and pulled out her own Rosewood wand, which was carved from red blood jade condensed together and had an extraordinary origin.

The redwood wand flashed in a flash, and the shark lying on the ground seemed to be covered in a rain of petals, and after a few breaths, Cedric Diggory became invisible as a shark.

Then there was a splash in the pool, and the invisible shark dived into the water, and in a few splashes, Cedric Diggory's torn clothes were left silently on the surface, but the shark was gone.
