265. Water Demon

It turns out that McGoth thinks too much, and maybe this idea works, but at the level he has just learned, it may be completely whimsical to get there.

By the end of the lesson, all the young wizards had barely mastered the spell and could ignore the winds in the classroom for a while. Flitwick told them to go back and practice, and told them that the next Charms class wasn't just that. As his words fell, the gale in the classroom quickly weakened until it disappeared.

"I'd like to learn this spell that summons a gale more than a whirlwind." Dean looked at Flitwick as he left, with envy on his face.

"You can ask him, the professors in Hogwarts are very talkative." McGoth replied casually.

Dean looked frustrated when he heard it.

"I tried, but the professors would look at what I was doing in class, and they thought I should focus on it and then think about anything else."

Seamus nodded approvingly beside him.

McGoth didn't expect to ask for extracurricular knowledge and this premise, if you think about it, the most he asked for advice was Snape, if he didn't master what he learned in class, it seems that he wouldn't give him other tasks.

The next day, Hagrid's Conservation of Magical Creatures class came again, and his teaching method could be said to be quite controversial, dragging the Hippogriff's body with the blessing of winged beasts, some of the students thought it was interesting to be able to safely see some of the more dangerous magical creatures, and some thought that it was too dangerous for him to do so, and that it should be done step by step as a teacher really should.

On the way here, Magos was worried that Hagrid would actually show them the scale worm in this lesson. Because Hagrid had placed the class on the edge of the Great Lake outside Hogwarts.

"What kind of dangerous magical creature will it be this time?" A little Ravenclaw witch stood in the back row with some concern.

"I hope I don't be like a Hippogriff."

"Don't you think that's the only way to make fun?" One of the students standing in front of them said with a smile.

"It's safe and you can see magical creatures that you wouldn't normally see."

Hagrid stood by the lake and watched the noisy little wizards cough hard,

"Originally, I had an interesting magical creature for you in this lesson, but for some reason I had to change it." As he spoke, he glanced at Magos, who was standing in the middle,

"In this lesson, I'm going to introduce you to a very dangerous magical creature, the Water Demon."

Hagrid's words made the little wizards around him tremble, whether they read books or know about it, or hearsay, they knew that it was very dangerous, but they didn't expect that they would have to face this creature in the second class of protecting magical creatures.

"The creature is explained in detail on page 14 of the monster book, so you can learn about it first, and then we'll see what it really looks like."

Magos took out the tightly bound monster book, touched its spine for a moment until it was no longer struggling, then removed the strap, and then flipped to page fourteen.

The first thing I see is a horse-like creature running around the page, then it suddenly transforms into a scantily clad mermaid, and then into a tattered man.

The water demon is a magical creature that can change its form in the water, and at the shallows it usually transforms into the shape of a horse to lure careless travelers and children to ride it, then drag them into the depths of the river to drown, and feed on its corpses. In the depths of the ocean, they often take on human form during storms to trick passing crew members into the water, then kill them to obtain food. Muggle legends of the Deep Naga were created based on them. Be careful, they are extremely dangerous!

After roughly reading the description of the water monster, Magos has to admit that this is indeed a very dangerous creature, and very cunning.

Hagrid saw the little wizards slowly put down the books, looked at their frightened expressions and said with a smile,

"Don't be afraid of them, they're actually very easy to deal with, and the spells you have learned now can already fight them, and the petrification and fire charms are their nemesis."

So saying, he told everyone to put down their books and led them to the lake, where there was a tight rope.

"Happily, I caught a water demon in a well in Hogsmeade, and it tried to turn into a fish to fool me."

"Now I want to ask a student to come over and pull this rope, and I think you've all guessed what's on the other end of it."

The little wizards watched the tight rope take a few steps back in unison, they didn't want to be the first.

"Well, looks like I need to take a roll call." Hagrid was disappointed that the students weren't taking the initiative at all, and he thought that at least Hermione would raise her hand, and looked at Hermione expectantly for a while, until her face turned white with fright.

"Harry." Hagrid wanted to call out to McGoth, but remembering that last time it was the first time that McGoth tried to ride a Hippogriff, he thought he should give Harry a chance this time.

In the sympathetic gaze of the little wizards around him. Harry stubbornly walked over to the rope.

"Pull it up like that?"

"To be on the safe side, you use a talisman first. It has a lot of strength, so be careful not to be dragged into the water by him. ”

Harry obediently used an armor shield and slowly pulled the tight rope upwards.

The little wizards in the back held their breath and looked nervously at the surface of the lake where the rope was.

Hermione squeezed McGoss's wrist tightly, and he wanted to use a talisman on himself in pain.

"Harry is not in danger?" Hermione asked nervously.

McGoth looked at Hagrid not far away and the masonry at his feet, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be fine, otherwise Hagrid wouldn't let Harry pass." ”

However, after thinking about it, he still held his wand tightly, and in case of any accident, he could rescue him in time.

The ripples on the surface of the water began to expand, and everyone knew that the water demon was about to be pulled out of the lake, and they all opened their eyes wide to see what the water demon was like in reality.

Harry was stunned when he saw the face of a frightened girl, and the rope pulled instantly stopped. Prepare to go back and ask Hagrid.

"Be careful." Hagrid's loud voice startled Harry, and then he threw himself to the ground, only to see that the water demon with the girl's face had turned into an ape-like creature, and pounced on him from the water, if he hadn't pounced, he would have been caught by the water demon.

The little wizards in the back let out a burst of frightened screams.

"Quiet." Hagrid yelled.

"Harry, use a spell." As he spoke, he lifted the masonry at his feet to prevent accidents.
