Chapter 62: The Mermaid's Song
The next morning, Draco and Pansy were sent away, along with Fleur. The Weasley family's eldest son, Bill, and youngest daughter, Ginny, were in charge of seeing them off. Looking at Fleur's appearance of turning back three times in one step, Daphany estimated that this Fleur and Bill would get together in advance. Can't Fleur look back at herself and Ginny frequently, right?
On the way back to the Red Mansion, Daphine was still thinking about what had happened last night.
The Guardian Spirit, Daphne is not the first time she has come across this concept.
Daphany is a considerable reader, and she has read a lot of books from the entire Hogwarts Secret Book Collection. And since the Lestranzis' family magic is necromancy, she has also studied the literature on this subject.
A guardian spirit is a special kind of ghost.
Ordinary ghosts are usually non-magical, they exist alone, and they have no effect on the physical world - of course, even if they are scary, they still have some effect. Hogwarts has a special apparition - Peeves. Peeves is a very special ghost. The reason for this is unclear, but Peeves can have an impact on the physical world, and can even throw things at people, a trait that other ghosts don't have.
In addition to special ghosts such as ordinary ghosts and Peeves, there are also unjust ghosts and ghosts. Myrtle wasn't just killed at Hogwarts, and with the resentment she had when she died, there was a good chance that she would turn into a ghost or a ghost.
And then there's the Guardian Spirit.
Unlike regular ghosts (including ghosts, ghosts, etc.), guardian spirits do not spawn naturally, but rather through specific rituals. What exactly is the ritual, Daphine hasn't seen any books like this, I don't know if they haven't been seen from the books from the Room of Requirement, or if they haven't seen them - after all, there are really a lot of them.
However, although I don't know the specific method, I still know the general principle. I just didn't expect to see it.
The only pity is that I couldn't get something out of the three old guys. Daphany had some regrets.
Sending Draco away, Daphine, Harry, and Angelina begin working on the music box from the second project. Of course, there are still differences between the three. Harry and Angelina were really researching, and Daphany was pretending.
As for the others, Bill sent Fleur off and went back to sleep, while Ron and the others began to work on their holiday homework.
This is where the happiness of the warriors comes in.
Ginny is okay, she doesn't have much homework in third grade. Ron, who is in fourth and sixth grade, has twins and is completely overwhelmed by his homework.
Percy had only been present for a short time at yesterday's dinner, and had rushed back to the Ministry of Magic early this morning. It's hard to say how passionate he is, but it's something that makes all the brothers, including the eldest Bill, look down on him.
"You say, will this music box need to be listened to in some special environment?" Harry said with a frown. They had just tried all sorts of things, with earmuffs, and sound isolation, but there were no clues.
Daphne's eyes lit up, Harry could. She was still wondering when it would be more appropriate to be reminded. Although working underwater is not too difficult for him, it is not easy for Harry and Angelina.
Originally, there were only four warriors in the story, and two of them, Fleur and Cedric, only used the head bubble charm, and Daphne felt ashamed of them when she thought about it, and they lost the face of the magician. As for the rest of Krum, it's not good, although he tried to use animal transfiguration, but what is the matter with you changing your head? Easy to use magic? Hehehehehehe......
As for Harry, he got something to do with it. Well, it seems to help you breathe underwater. But I don't remember how I got Dafanie, what if there are no more variables? Do you want to buy it in advance? But if you don't know the project in advance, wouldn't it be strange to buy it? Besides, what's that thing called?
Angelina didn't know how much time it had taken for a while, Daphany had thought about so many things, and she was still happy that Harry could have such a thought: "It makes sense, but what kind of environment should it be?" ”
"We got dragon eggs for our first project, and dragon hatchers usually use dragon breath to help keep them warm......," Harry said as he thought about it.
"But our second project is different, some are in the water, some are in the sand. And then there's in the lava! Angelina interjected.
"Maybe the clue is not in the second project, but in the music box itself!" Harry picked up the music box, looked it up and down, and said, "It has a mermaid on it, could it be that it should be opened in the water?" ”
Daphany almost praises Harry, worthy of being the protagonist, the savior, and the son of the plane! All of these attribute points are on luck!
Thinking so, Daphany still pretended to hesitate: "The music box in the water?" This seems a little strange, what if it is not the case and it is damaged by soaking in water? ”
Harry was also a little hesitant when he heard this, he always subconsciously felt that Daphany had a point.
Angelina didn't have a subconscious like Harry, and said with a big grin: "It's okay, wouldn't it be nice to add a water barrier charm to the music box." Moreover, there are three of us, three music boxes, and even if one of them breaks, won't there be two more? ”
He is a brainless lion. Daphany didn't know if this was an advantage or a disadvantage, and Miss Angelina's idea could not be said to be right, but it was used at this time.
Harry's Gryffindor factor also woke up at this moment, and nodded in agreement at the moment: "Sister Angelina is right, just use mine." Let's give it a try. ”
"Where are we going to try it?" Angelina is always resolute, saying that the wind is rain, and what is babbling must be practiced to achieve true knowledge. Xuanshu Literature Network
"Looking for a bathtub or something? Or go into the water...... Alas, it's a bit cold in the water this season......" Harry was also a little confused when he heard this.
"Hey, what's that trouble." Hearing this, Daphne smiled and waved her hand, hooked her fingers, and did not use her wand, countless water droplets condensed out of thin air and quickly gathered, forming a huge water ball with a diameter of more than three meters after a while.
"That's amazing!" Harry was amazed.
"It's amazing!" Angelina also sighed a little, it is not difficult to summon such a large water balloon, and she can do it. But you can't do it so lightly, and you have to hold a wand.
Wandless casting is an optional part of the Spell Improvement class from Year 6 onwards, and the ability to use even the simplest spells such as illumination or levitation spells can give you a very high bonus on the ultimate wizard level exam.
Angelina, as a witch with dreams, has also studied wandless spell casting, but unfortunately he has not been able to do even a single illumination spell until now.
Harry was still admiring the magic of Daphine's magic, when he suddenly noticed that two beautiful women, one big and one young, were looking at him.
"What's the matter? Go in, do you expect us two girls to get wet? "Daphine's mouth is like a catfish, with a look on your face that you can't see so much.
Harry shrugged and stepped into the big water balloon with the music box in his arms.
As soon as he entered the water balloon, Harry's eyes lit up. Originally, he was worried that the water would be very cold, but he found that the water was warm. Immediately secretly admired Daphine's carefulness.
He couldn't speak in the water, and Harry's lung capacity wasn't that great, and he couldn't stay in it for long. So without hesitation, I quickly opened the music box in my hand. It wasn't until he opened it that Harry remembered that he had forgotten to bless the protective magic.
But right now, Harry didn't care about that.
Because the original eerie screaming noise is gone, replaced by a beautiful singing voice. Harry listened attentively, and soon heard the somewhat strange but beautiful voice of the singing:
Look for us, where our voices sound,
We can't sing on the ground.
As you search, think carefully:
We have the treasures you need.
You only have an hour to spare,
To find and get the treasure you need,
After an hour there was no hope,
It is completely gone and will never appear.
He tried to listen to it once, and by the time the second time he started repeating, Harry had run out of oxygen in his lungs. All of a sudden, a huge one came out of the water Qiuli. Whoop and gasp for a while.
Angelina's wand flicked slightly, and a series of tiny bubbles began to bubble up on Harry's body and clothes. The small bubbles grew more and more into a white bubble, and then the hula fell from Harry's body to the ground, turning into clear water. And Harry was already dry!
"Thank you, Angelina!" Harry gasped for breath and smiled at Angelina.
"No thanks, what did you hear inside." Although Angelina has a soft appearance, she is an impatient. He asked anxiously, "We can hear some singing outside, but we can't hear what it is." ”
Harry repeated the song he heard. Daphany conjured up a piece of parchment and a wand, on which black text automatically appeared according to Harry's narration.
Harry entered the water balloon two more times - it turned out that the music box was waterproof. Finally, the lyrics were confirmed to the extent that they were word for word.
"I see, it's the singing voice of the merman!" Daphany said, touching her smooth chin.
"Sharks?" Harry was vague about the term, vaguely seemed to have heard it, but not very impressed.
"It's a generic term for all mermaids, and there are actually many kinds of mermaids. What we usually say is actually the least abundant one, the mermaid. Seeing that Harry and Angelina were both very interested, Daphne simply played: "There are three or four branches of mermaids alone, and the ocean mermaid here is also called Lorelei." It's the kind that tricks sailors and boatmen in the ocean. In addition, there are freshwater mermaids who live in the inland mountains and rivers; There is also a kind of carved mermaid on the Oriental Seaside, which is good at weaving. The silk they weave is invaluable! There is also a subspecies of Lorelei, called the Fish-People, which is not as good-looking as them, but it is almost the same in habits, and it can survive in both freshwater and seawater; In addition to mermaids, there are also people with human bodies but their faces are more hideous, their mouths are cracked to their ears, and there are sharp teeth and claws, which are called Isohime, which are found in the offshore sea or in freshwater lakes, and are very aggressive and have considerable intelligence. They are not very distinguishable from the fish-people, and it is also said that Isohime is a subspecies of the eagle-titled mermaid, just as the fish-people are a subspecies of Lorelei. There has been controversy though. In addition, it is said that there is a kind of mermaid in the swamp that has a human body but a fish or a frog at the head. These can all be counted as sharks! ”
Both Harry and Angelina were amazed, apparently unaware that the Fish-Man was so particular about it.
