Chapter 263: Preparation for the Competition
After Darren and Twinkle finished talking, he found that it was breakfast time, and the Hogwarts house-elves were busy putting all kinds of food on the four wooden tables in the kitchen, and decided to just start here, but he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the house-elves, and those little ones prepared a very hearty meal for him, more than the usual three meals combined, and kept serving the food, fortunately he had a pocket with a traceless stretching spell, so he didn't waste any affection......
Coming out of the kitchen, Darren greeted Hermione and told her that he was going to Hogsmeade today, and as a result, "Go to Hogsmeade again! Didn't you just go yesterday, when are you going to start preparing for the second event, and you see what Krum is doing!" Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Oh, it's about the competition, I said that the water is very cold now, so I asked Penelope to help me order a warm wetsuit, originally I was going to use your 'waterproof and moisture-proof' charm, but after all, that can only ensure that the body is not wet, but it's still quite cold," while saying, Darren shuddered when he thought of the temperature of the lake, "Don't talk about it now, even on the day of the competition, I estimate that the water temperature of the black lake will not exceed 10 degrees, I'm afraid that if I don't drown, I will be frozen due to hypothermia, so the diving suit is very necessary!" ”
"Besides, she told me that Krum's notes have been translated, and I'll send them here today, and it just so happens that when you learn Fleur's magic, don't you understand something? ”
When it comes to the Charms class, Hermione is also depressed, there are more than a dozen bear children in a classroom, holding wands to summon and expel all kinds of objects, the class is even more chaotic than when she practiced the Levitation Charm, it is almost like Lockhart's Cornwall elf class, and even Professor Flitwick himself will be thrown into the air...... Exhausted after every class, Darren and Hermione were too embarrassed to ask him questions.
"Well, then you go by yourself, I'm going to go to the library today," Hermione hesitated, but still refused.
"Oh?" Hermione would give up the opportunity to learn about magic, which made Darren a little strange, "What are you doing in the library, it doesn't run there, Penelope doesn't come every day." ”
"Oh," Hermione hesitated for a moment after hearing Darren's words, then took a deep breath and made up her mind, "It's okay, as long as you learn it, I can find you anyway." ”
Well, no problem......
This time Darren didn't dare to go to the Three Broomsticks Tavern again, and if he ran into Rita again, it would be troublesome, but fortunately, he also had an invisibility cloak, and he could meet Penelope on the side of the road, just like the first time they met.
After the meeting, Penelope handed over the ordered wetsuit to Darren, she didn't even need to try it, she knew the size and something, and told him that it was simply tailored after drinking the compound decoction, which must be suitable, but Darren had a lot of it at the beginning, but he didn't use it up......
Subsequently, Penelope explained to Darren how to wear a wetsuit, because it requires isolation of cold water, so the choice is a dry wetsuit, which is more troublesome to wear, with special waterproof zippers and other accessories, and you have to learn how to control and use the inflatable, otherwise it will leak, although it will still block most of it, but it will also be very uncomfortable.
"This is the intake valve, this is the exhaust, you have an automatic exhaust function, when exhausting, lean your body a little to the right, raise your left arm, and then stretch back and tighten your arm, and when you use it, if it is not particularly close, open the exhaust when you go into the water, let the air squeeze out, remember to close it, otherwise it will become semi-dry, if it feels too tight when you are underwater, use the intake valve to add air in," Penelope pointed to the parts on the wetsuit, obviously studying hard," Remember to turn on the exhaust when you go up, otherwise you might feel like you're flying out of the water!"
"It's so much trouble to get dressed," Darren muttered, "It's still magical, but it's a pity I didn't find a spell to keep my body warm, otherwise I wouldn't have to prepare this." ”
Penelope looked at Darren, "Keeping your body warm? I guess it's for the Triwizard Tournament." ”
"Well," Darren thought for a moment, deciding that telling Penelope was fine, "the second project required me to swim in the Black Lagoon, and the water was still very cold at the end of February," he shrugged.
"I think you're the first wizard to buy yourself a wetsuit," Penelope shook his head, "I can't figure out what you think." ”
Darren can only hehe can only hehe about this, no way, compared to wizards and magic, he is more familiar with the world of ordinary people, after all, he has only been in the wizarding world for more than three years, and his way of thinking can't change at all, so he will naturally look at the problem from the previous perspective, and he thinks it's normal, make full use of all kinds of knowledge, who stipulates that wizards can't use ordinary people's things, if you learn magic for two days and forget all your previous knowledge, it won't be a "Handan toddler"......
After arriving at the Dambi and manipulating the diving suit, Penelope took out a notebook, "This is a rough translation, the notes you sent, I found someone to translate them into English, but because I was in a hurry, there were several translations at the same time, and I took them after I finished translating, there may be some mistakes, pay attention when you read it, the fine translation is still being edited, and it will probably come out next week." ”
"It's okay, if there's something I don't understand, I'll go to Krum, he can't take my tablet for nothing. ”
“…… But you also took the notes of other people, well, Krum must not have translated the materials you gave so quickly. ”
"That's the strength, the strength, besides, maybe where is my tablet word," Darren said with a smile, he had seen Karkaroff many times from the tablet word corresponding to Krum, and of course, Madame Maxim always appeared in Fleur's place, in contrast, he was the only one who figured it out by himself.
Penelope tilted her head, she wasn't such a simple student now, she naturally knew what Darren meant, "I took a cursory look at the part of Krum's notes about Transfiguration, which is not quite the same as what we learned at Hogwarts," she opened her notebook and flipped to one of the pages, "According to the record above, it can make the spellcaster himself become an animal, not like Animagus, but for a short period of time, or even only partial transformation, which is quite interesting." ”
Sure enough, he is a Ravenclaw student!
