Previous Chapter: 022 Garden under the Starlight

The four of them returned to the dance, Krum invited Hermione to dance again, Lawrence and Luna sat on the seats by the dance floor and drank drinks, Angelina took Fred's hand and walked over, and they chose an empty seat next to Lawrence and sat down.

Hey, Fred's eyes sparkled with excitement as he ripped off his bow tie and stuffed it into his pocket, unbuttoned the top of the collar, and it was hot, right?

If you dance the way you do, of course it's going to be hot. Read the full text of the latest chapter hua-79-Lawrence said with a smile, Angelina, who was helping herself with her hand on the side, also smiled when she heard this,

Don't keep talking about us, I don't think you two are dancing much? Fred looked at Lawrence and retorted,

We don't like to dance much. Lawrence shrugged, and Luna ignored Fred, as she was watching Hermione and Krum dancing on the dance floor with great interest.

I said, "When did they get together?" Fred followed Luna's gaze and asked curiously,

It is said that it was Krum who plucked up the courage to invite Hermione, and Lawrence 'touched' his chin and said,

Our young Miss McGonagall has grown up—(Note 1) Fred said nostalgically, Angelina coughed lightly,

Uh-huh, don't talk about this, Fred quickly changed the subject, how is your golden egg researching?

Well? As early as the day the first mission ended, Lawrence rightly said, "When you and George were in the Gryffindor 'Fellowship' Hall to encourage Harry to open the golden egg, I knew it was the language of the merfolk."

Merlin's beard—Fred rolled his eyes,

And then it's easy, Lawrence shrugged, I don't understand the language of the mermaid on land, but it's not the same when thrown into the water.

Well, Fred leaned forward and asked, looking curious, what was the second task?

Go to the Black Lake and find something—replied Lawrence,

Finding something, I don't think it's hard for you—Fred said, and the Strange Sisters started another new tune at this point, and Angelina pulled LaFred's sleeve in motion, and then Fred and Angelina both stood up,

Hey, let's go, Fred said to Lawrence and Luna, the prom is almost over, it's time for the last song

Well? Lawrence raised an eyebrow, but when he saw Luna stand up, he followed him and walked onto the dance floor with his friends.

───────

The Strange Sisters' performance ended at midnight, and everyone gave them another round of applause, and the students slowly left the dance floor and walked towards the entrance of the hall, the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang walked out of the big 'gates' of the castle and returned to their carriages and boats, and the students of Hogwarts followed the crowd and walked towards their respective houses. (hua)

At the bottom of the marble staircase, Lawrence saw Hermione running briskly up the stairs, while Harry and Ron behind her were only halfway up, there were so many things to distract Lawrence this month, and he only now realized that he hadn't reciprocated the favor Harry had told him about the first mission last time.

Harry-Lawrence shouted as he quickly climbed the marble staircase,

Lawrence? Harry looked back, a little confused, and Ron stopped.

Ron, I have something to tell Harry- Lawrence said with some embarrassment, Ron shrugged, turned and continued to climb up, and the two watched as Ron walked up the stairs in the direction of Gryffindor Tower,

As for the golden egg, Lawrence whispered, and when you open it, there will be a terrible cry, right? Harry?

Well? Oh yes. Harry's eyes crossed Lawrence, peeking at the entrance to the hall at the bottom of the stairs from time to time, until Lawrence reminded him of this.

It's the mermaid's voice, Lawrence said, soak the golden egg in the water, and you can hear the second task - Harry?

Uh-huh-Harry struggled to turn his gaze back to Lawrence, and he nodded in reply, I get it - merfolk, soak the golden eggs in the water, right?

You can—Before Lawrence could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by footsteps, and Cedric's voice came from behind him,

Hey, Lawrence, Harry-Cedric said, Ravenclaw's Brook was with him,

Hey, Cedric. Lawrence said hello, and Harry didn't say a word,

Congratulations yet, the first mission was amazing. Cedric said, Harry barely 'revealed' a smile,

Why don't you introduce your 'female' partner? Lawrence quipped, even though I saw the two of you together last year. (Note 2)

This is Zhang Qiu, my dance partner, Cedric, who was a little embarrassed, and was now preparing to send her back to Ravenclaw College...... That...... Let's go first. (Note 3)

Lawrence and Harry watched Cedric and Zhang Qiu walk up the stairs, Lawrence patted Harry who was staring at Zhang Qiu's back, and the two slowly walked back to Gryffindor Tower,

You can use the prefect's bathroom, which is quiet and allows you to listen to the hints in the golden egg, Lawrence continued the topic he had not finished just now, first went to the fifth floor, found the statue of the foolish Bowry, and counted the fourth 'door' to the left, and the secret word was the fragrance of pine wood

I get it. Harry didn't say 'good', the two fell silent, and they walked back to Gryffindor Tower, the fat 'woman' and her friend were napping in the portrait, Lawrence and Harry had to wake them up loudly to be able to enter the Gryffindor Tower, which of course made the fat 'woman' and her friend very unhappy, but after hearing the secret language, they still let the two enter the Gryffindor 'friendship' hall.

The 'Friendship' Hall was empty, only Hermione and Ron were left, the two of them stood at opposite ends of the 'Friendship' Hall, separated by the entire 'Friendship' Hall, and were arguing so much that Lawrence 'rubbed' between his eyebrows, he knew why the ball had just ended, and the Gryffindor Friendship Hall didn't hold a second banquet.

Then I'll go to my dorm room first, Lawrence shrugged at Harry, and you should persuade those two

Harry nodded helplessly, and Lawrence climbed the stairs of the boys' dormitory, forgetting the noise of the 'communicating' hall, and returned to his dormitory, where the twins and Lee Jordan were drinking whiskey and talking about the 'fine' Christmas ball.

───────

The day after Christmas, everyone slept late, and the Gryffindor 'saloon' hall was rarely quiet, and the students were nestled in their armchairs near the fire, chatting lazily, but that didn't include Lawrence and the twins, the three of them, who were hiding in the room of requirement, conducting some experiments of their interest, but this time, Lawrence didn't work on their prank products with the twins, but on the other side, studying something,

The fire turned small—Fred hurriedly said, where are the chopped echinacea 'flower' petals?

It's time to add five toad eyeballs to it - George hurriedly waved his wand, and the five toad eyeballs flew into the cauldron,

Puff puff - the magic 'medicine' slowly changed from the original light blue 'color' like clear water to a thick orange-brown 'color',

Oh my God, George, you've mixed up untreated eyeballs with treated 'mixes'. Fred said in despair,

Oops - George's voice has become sharper,

A thin slit cracked on the side of the cauldron, Lawrence, who was originally sitting in the corner, raised his head, raised his right hand, and the whole cauldron flew up in the air, flying into an open 'door', just after the cauldron flew into the 'door', the heavy metal 'door' automatically closed, revealing a red 'colored' sign on it, on which was painted a black 'colored' skull, writing danger! The words of the explosive spell placed in the house, the moment the metal 'door' closed, it disappeared into the room, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time,

Your experiments are getting more and more dangerous. Lawrence said helplessly,

Oops, danger is inevitable. Because the crisis was resolved, Fred 'bared' his teeth and smiled,

My fault, George acknowledged with his hands up, I 'confused' those untreated eyeballs.

When our application research on snail shell powder is successful, it should be safer? Fred said this, and he turned to ask for George's advice,

I think we'd better get that thing done first, George agreed, to save our lives and our hands.

Lawrence shook his head, ignoring them, he turned to look at the human-sized cauldron on the side, filled with water, and then he 'fiddled' with the materials on the table, and picked up one of the sticky, slippery things that looked like gray-green 'colored' rat tails,

The first is gill sac grass. Lawrence stood on the table, ready to climb into the cauldron by the height of the table,

I don't understand—George asked, curiously,

You can't find a magic that works—Fred answers,

There's no need to buy a bunch of materials

I'm going to experiment with these things.

After speaking, the twins looked at Lawrence expectantly, waiting for his answer,

I guess you'd better clean up the wreckage of your failures first. Lawrence raised an eyebrow and pointed to the large metal 'door' that had reappeared in the room,

Seeing that Lawrence did not answer the question, the twins made noises together in disdain, and they carefully opened the metal 'door', and after confirming that there was no danger, they cautiously walked inside.

Lawrence silently chewed on the gill sac grass before sliding into the cauldron at the height of the table.

Author's Note:

Hello everyone, I'm back,

Oops, what a pleasant trip,

It seems that I want to go abroad every year (laughs).

By the way, after reading the three posts that guessed the 'female' protagonist at the starting point,

(Posts with less than 2,000 words will not appear on the homepage of the work, so I'm not sure if readers have seen the announcement?) ）

I couldn't help but smack three times (?) ），

Well, how to say,

It's just that no one gets it right (laughs),

One of you has correctly found the second (and only half) and fourth clues I provided.

But the most critical starting point is wrong,

Actually, the two people in the conversation are smart people.

So did anyone find a question in their conversation that shouldn't be asked?

Note 1: In Chapter 4 of the Philosopher's Stone Scroll, Lawrence and the Twins jokingly refer to Hermione.

Note 2: In Chapter 21 of the Prisoner's Volume, I arranged for Cedric and Zhang Qiu to appear together.

Note 3: In the original book, the two of them only said goodnight in the entrance hall. (The Ravenclaw 'Fellowship' Hall is in the Tower, and Hufflepuff is in the Dungeon near the kitchen.)
