Bruce and Fleur came to the corridor in front of the castle gate, and when they saw that there was no one around, Bruce hurriedly asked: "You are really amazing, you have found a clue in such a short time." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Fleur smiled: "Actually, this is also luck, it has something to do with my bloodline?" ”

Bruce was surprised and said, "I've heard of it, Meiwa? Could it be that the harsh voice is Meiwa's language. ”

"You know that's language?" Fleur said in surprise.

Bruce nodded and said, "I thought of this, but I didn't understand it at all." ”

Fleur nodded and said, "It's normal, but it's not ...... No way! ”

Fleur hesitated, the rules of the Triwizard Tournament did not allow the players to help each other directly, and Bruce also understood this, so he couldn't ask directly. After a while, Fleur said, "Because Meiwa can transform into various creatures, she will understand the language of creatures, such as ...... Merfolk, have you heard of it? ”

"Merfolk? Is it a mermaid? Bruce asked.

Fleur nodded and said, "That's right, you...... Don't know? ”

Bruce laughed, "Of course, I've seen Hans Christian Andersen...... Well? ”

Bruce was stunned halfway through speaking, and he realized that the sentence just now was the answer that Fleur was going to tell him.

Seeing Bruce's appearance, Fleur smiled and said, "The real mermaid is not the same as the mermaid in the fairy tale, if you don't believe it, you can go to the library and check it out." Okay, now that I've said that, I'll go first. ”

Fleur left, and Bruce was stunned and remembered Fleur's words just now, and said to himself, "Mermaid? Mermaid...... I remember reading a book 'before' that said that in the West mermaids would seduce people with their singing and then drag them into the sea to eat them...... Wrong wrong! It's completely unconnected...... Wait, singing! Language! Mermaids are creatures in the water, perhaps...... Maybe...... Golden eggs should be put in water! Yes! ”

Bruce figured out the key to the golden egg's clue and ran to the castle quickly. When he reached the hall, Hermione and Ron were waiting for him. As soon as she saw Bruce running in, Hermione immediately walked up and asked angrily, "Are you ......?"

Before the words could get out, Bruce couldn't wait to ask, "I know the clue, let's go!" Let's go find Harry. ”

As he spoke, he picked up Hermione and ran, and Ron hurriedly followed. But as soon as the three of them walked out of the hall, they collided with a person.

"Oops!" Bruce and the man fell to the ground at the same time, Bruce covered his head and stood up, and said dissatisfiedly, "I can't see the road...... Harry?! ”

It was Harry lying on the ground, and Harry hurriedly stood up and said, "Bruce, I've found a way. ”

"How? Are you talking about the clues of the golden egg? Bruce asked.

Harry nodded excitedly and said, "That's right, it was Cedric who said it." ”

Ron laughed when he heard this, "It's a coincidence, Bruce just knew." ”

"What? You're saying Bruce knows the clue too? Harry said in surprise.

Hermione smiled helplessly: "It's really ironic, I didn't come up with anything before I wanted to break my head, but now I know it by accident, and the two of them know it at the same time." ”

"You're thinking too much, dear!" Bruce laughed and said, "Anyway, let's go back to the dormitory to get the golden eggs first, and then go to the lake." ”

"Lakeside?" Harry was surprised, "But Cedric told me to go to the bathroom on the fifth floor. ”

Bruce said, "It's all the same, let's go!" ”

After the four of them hurried back to the dormitory to get the golden eggs, Bruce said, "Let's go to the lake now." ”

"Wait a minute." Hermione said: "Anyway, I know what to do, and I'm not in a hurry for a while, don't you two explain first." ”

Ron nodded and said, "That's right, I still don't know what to do?" What did Fleur and Cedric say to you? ”

"Cedric just told me to take the golden egg to the bathroom on the fifth floor, and he just said that and didn't tell me how to do it," Harry said. ”

Hermione nodded and said, "That's right, he can't tell you directly." Bruce, what did Fleur say to you? ”

Bruce said with a stinky fart: "Of course, it is impossible to tell me directly, but I am so smart that I thought of a way as soon as she said it." ”

"Don't sell it, what the hell is it?" Ron said impatiently.

Bruce explains, "Actually, the noise in the golden egg is the language of the mermaid. ”

"Are you talking about mermaids?" Harry asked curiously.

"Oh! That's right! Hermione suddenly remembered something and ran back to the room, and walked out with a thick book in her hand.

Seeing this, Bruce smiled bitterly: "Honey, this can't be another pastime you borrowed for fun, right?" ”

This scene is so familiar that Hermione also brought out a book when she was looking for information about Nicolame in the first grade.

Hermione said, "No, I bought it myself!" I haven't actually seen "The Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures" yet. Wait a minute, I'll look it up. ”

Hermione flipped through the pages of the book and searched for a while, and said excitedly, "Ha! That's right, a mermaid, with a human upper body and a lower body with a fishtail, a steel fork in his hand, a sharp mouth and a sharp mouth, living at the bottom of a lake in the sea, with great strength, brave and good at fighting, but afraid of people with wands. Listen to this, merfolk have very beautiful songs, but on land their voices are very harsh and even deadly. ”

Harry suddenly realized, "So if you want to know the clue, you have to put the golden egg in the water, I see!" ”

"But ......," Ron said in surprise, "why do you think the mermaid doesn't look good?" ”

Hermione nodded and said, "It's not good-looking, you see! ”

There is an illustration in the book of an ugly monster with a golden body, and it is difficult to associate this creature with a mermaid.

"It's disgusting!" Bruce said in disgust, "I think this is the end of the mermaid topic, let's go to the lake now." ”

The four of them picked up the golden egg and rushed towards the lake, and when they arrived at the lake, the four immediately took off their shoes and walked into the lake, Bruce said, "Put the golden egg in the water and open it again." ”

Harry nodded, and both of them opened the golden egg in the water at the same time, no noise but no singing.

"What's going on?" Ron asked, surprised.

Bruce thought for a moment and suddenly buried his head in the water.

"Ahh Bruce, what are you doing? Hermione asked hurriedly.

Bruce didn't get up but stretched out his hand to signal the three of them to "come in" as well, and Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I knew I should have brought a towel, come on!" ”

The three of them took a deep breath and entered the water at the same time, and the moment they entered the water, a beautiful melody sounded.

"Follow the song to find us, we can't sing on land anymore, you have an hour to find us and retrieve what we have taken!"

Then the singing began to recycle, and the four of them hurriedly surfaced.

"Ahem, ahem!" Hermione's face flushed, and she said hurriedly, "I admit that the singing is good, but ...... It's hard to listen to underwater. ”

Harry quipped, "If the mermaid were to hold a concert, it would probably be drowned in the audience before the opening song was finished." ”

"Huh!"

Bruce laughed, "It's good that this song is very short, let's go!" Let's go ashore first and dry our clothes. ”

The four of them walked ashore, it was already December, and it was very cold, not to mention that they were soaking wet, but fortunately Hermione had dried their clothes with a spell and started a fire.

Sitting around the campfire, Bruce said, "Now it's certain that the next task is for us to find something in the water." ”

Harry nodded, and said, "And it's only one hour, which means that not only do we have to find things within the allotted time, but we also have to find a way to stay in the water for an hour!" ”

"Huh! It's not easy, who can stay in the water for an hour? Ron said.

"Unless by magic!" Bruce said.

Hermione immediately said, "I know one, Bubble Head Charm!" ”

"Bubble Head Charm? What kind of spell is that? Harry Ron asked.

Bruce explains, "It's just putting a bubble on your head that helps you breathe underwater, but most wizards use it to keep out bad smells from the outside world. ”

"This should be a fourth-grade or higher magic, right? Can we learn? Harry asked.

Hermione said confidently, "Don't worry, no problem. Haven't we already learned a lot of magic that only senior and even adult wizards can learn? ”

"Whew!" Harry let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "That's great, don't worry about it anymore." ”

Bruce reminded, "Don't be too happy, even though the Bubble Head Charm can breathe underwater, we don't know how long it lasts." ”

Ron said, "Wouldn't it be nice to find a time to give it a try?" Anyway, there is still some time before the second game. ”

Hermione nodded and said, "The clue has been found, and the way has been found." Bruce, you're going to have to catch up on your dance moves. ”

"Oh! No! Harry shouted, helplessly, "Hermione, why are you talking about this?" ”

Hermione was surprised, "You can't find a dance partner yet, do you?" ”

Harry said with a bitter expression, "What do you think? ”

Bruce laughed, "We searched for all the girls we could find in the morning, but we either had a dance partner or didn't want to deal with him." ”

"I knew I had to get out of the way, okay! I've got your dance partner in my hands. Hermione said.

Harry hurriedly asked, "Can you help me?" ”

Now for Harry, as long as he can fool the opening dance, he doesn't care about anything else.

Hermione said, "Parvati doesn't have a dance partner yet, and I think he'll say yes to your invitation."

"Really? That's great! Harry said excitedly, then said to Ron dissatisfied, "You're not funny, Ron. ”

Harry said this because Parvati Patil had a very good relationship with Ron's girlfriend, Lavender. Parvati Petyer, a girl of Indian descent, is a fourth-year Gryffindor student like Bruce, and has a twin sister, Padma Petyer. Although they belong to the third race, the two sisters are okay, and Dean even listed the Petyr sisters as beauties when commenting on the girls at Hogwarts.

When Harry found Parvati, she happily agreed to Harry's invitation, and after solving the problem with his dance partner, Harry finally relieved his burden, but the rest of the time they had to be busy. In addition to practicing dance steps and not embarrassing herself at the prom, they also helped Hermione plan the events of the Blessing Society.

And so it was December 24th, Christmas Eve! The Christmas Ball is about to begin.
