Chapter 618: Cedric's Little Secret and the Mermaid

In fact, Sirius and Hagrid's urging put Harry under great pressure, and he had to put the matter on the agenda and accept all forms of help.

He can't let these two down, and the day of the game is just around the corner.

Harry didn't know how long it would take to take a shower to figure out the secret of the egg, so he decided to wash it again at night.

He decided to take his time in Shirinfi's bathing room, because very few people could come in here, so that he would not be afraid of being disturbed.

Despite his reluctance, he put down his shelf and considered Cedric's advice.

The last time he got up in the middle of the night and climbed over the wall to walk out of the school, he happened to be caught by Filch, the administrator, and he didn't want that to happen again.

So this time, he was very well prepared, it would be useful to bring an invisibility cloak, and then bring that map of the living spots, on which the layout of the school was drawn, and there were many paths, secret exits, and more importantly, people walking in the corridor would be displayed with small dots at any time, so that if anyone approached the bathhouse, he would know immediately.

He had discussed it with Van Lin, and in fact, Harry had invited Van Lin to the bathhouse with him, but Van Lin didn't seem to have the intention of doing so.

According to Van Lin's thoughts, Harry himself could find out, it was not his game, and there was no reason to reveal too much.

Moreover, to change his body through alchemy to adapt to the phantom transformation, Van Lin still needs a long time to fuse, and he must practice more.

He hadn't been to the Black Lake yet, and a large part of the reason he had learned the language of the merfolk was for this, and he couldn't act 100% with that memory.

Naturally, on Thursday night, Harry slipped out of bed alone, put on his invisibility cloak, and slipped down the stairs, just as Hagrid had taken them to see the dragons in action that night.

This time Harry told Ron to wait outside and gave him a code.

"Fried banana pie!"

"Good luck. Ron muttered, crawling into the large room, just as Harry had just crawled out and passed by him.

Harry had an egg in his hand, a map in front of his nose, and walking in an invisibility cloak that was extremely uncomfortable.

Luckily, the hallways were sprinkled with moonlight, and with the help of a map, Harry was sure he wouldn't bump into anyone he didn't want to see.

When he reached the statue of Pollis, he stopped, pressed himself against the door on the right, and said softly, "Novel pine." This code was told to him by Cedric.

The door creaked open, and Harry slipped inside, took off his invisibility cloak, and looked around. He suddenly felt that if he could have such a bathroom, it would be good to be a prefect.

The room was filled with chandeliers lit with candles. Everything is paved with marble, even the bath in the middle of the house. Around the pond are a hundred gold taps, each of which is inlaid with gemstones of different colors. There is also a diving board above the pool. The long, white curtains hung down gracefully, and on the wall hung a gold-framed oil painting of a blonde beauty sleeping on a stone.

He put down the golden eggs, the map, and the cloak and walked towards the bath. There was a sound of footsteps echoing in the house, and he now suspected that Cedric was lying to him, why did he ask him to come to the bath? What does this have to do with the golden eggs?

Still, he was put on a towel, knelt under the faucet, turned them on, and rushed up.

Harry soon discovered that the foam that came out of each faucet was different, and that he had never seen such a magical foam. The bubbles coming out of one faucet are blue or pink, as big as a football, the foam from another faucet is like a snowball, and the third faucet is flowing with purple smoke.

When the bath was almost full, Harry turned off all the taps, took off his pajamas and slippers, and slid over.

The bath was so deep that his feet could barely reach the bottom, and Harry swam happily around.

When he got back to the side, he stared at the egg, but he still didn't have a clue. Harry reached for the egg and opened it, and the melodious sound immediately filled the room.

This time, however, the voice didn't seem to be as muffled as before, but it was still hard to hear, and Harry suspected it was just a delusion of his own.

He closed the egg again, fearing that the noise would wake Falck.

"If I were you, I'd put the eggs in the water. Harry choked on a mouthful of water.

The weeping myrtle β€” a depressed female ghost who often cries her nose in the toilet β€” is sitting cross-legged on one of the faucets.

"Myrtle," Harry cried angrily, "I'm not wearing anything." ”

Although there was a lot of foam in the pool, he still felt like he was being peeked at as soon as he entered.

"My eyes were closed when you came in. Myrtle smiled nervously and said, "It's just that you haven't seen me." ”

"Oh well. Harry bent his legs slightly, only exposing his head to the surface of the water, to prevent the myrtle from seeing anything.

"I'm not supposed to come to this bathroom, am I? It's for girls?"

"You've always been, and you've never cared. Myrtle said sarcastically.

"Someone else called me here. But I won't come back again. Harry said in a cold sweat.

There's a bad bath, it's bad enough. But...... The password Cedric knew was to open the door to the prefect's bathroom......

This is something to ponder.

If Cedric had an invisibility cloak, or ...... Harry suddenly remembered the spell that Van Lin had used, the illusion charm......

This is much more convenient than an invisibility cloak or something, as long as the caster's mood doesn't fluctuate violently......

It seems that Cedric still has some ulterior secrets. If......

Harry was thinking about the prefects at Hogwarts......

"I see. Myrtle didn't seem to see what Harry was doing, and she said quickly, "I'd rather put the eggs in the water and try it, like Cedric did." ”

"Did you peek at him too? what's wrong with you?

(Well, Cedric always uses the prefectural bathroom for bathing, and that's big news!)

"Occasionally, but I've never spoken to anyone. Myrtle said innocently. "What do you think a ghost has in mind?"

Belch...... Harry was a little speechless, myrtle is also a woman, and besides, this is the women's bathroom, so to speak...... Still, when Harry stood up, he told Myrtle to turn around, then wrapped himself tightly in the towel and took the egg again.

"Open the eggs and put them in the water. Myrtle said. Harry did so. Immediately after, he heard the sound of an egg. This time the voice was completely different, mia, mia, with some lyrics that Harry couldn't hear.

"You're going to dive into the water, too. Myrtle said.

Harry took a deep breath and submerged his head in the water.

This time, he finally heard what it was singing: "Come to us along the sound, we can't sing on the shore, we'll steal what you miss the most, you'll find out in an hour, and then you'll have to exchange with us." An hour later, everything was gone. Too late, and everything ceases to exist. β€œ

Harry surfaced as he listened, brushing away the hair that was sticking to his eyes.

"Did you hear what it said?" asked Myrtle.

"Yes, but I'm going to hear it again. With that, Harry dived into the water again. He listened a few more times, but did not immediately surface, but thought hard for a moment under the water.

"I'm looking for someone who can't speak on the shore. Who is this man?"

"You're too slow. Myrtle surfaced. Harry surfaced to see Myrtle's happy face. He looked elsewhere and continued to wonder who it would be.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the mermaid on the wall.

"That's right. It's a mermaid. Myrtle, isn't there no mermaid in the world?"

"Didn't you never have a unicorn when you were in the Muggle world?" asked Myrtle.

Harry thought he was a little stupid, he had seen the literal studies of Van Lin, the merfolk, and he'd heard that the merfolk in the Black Lagoon could be seen from the Slytherin common room.

Well, merfolk in the Black Lake!

"It's amazing, last time Diggory thought about it for a long time to come up with it. ”

"It has to be it, the second mission is to find the merfolk in the Black Lake. Harry was overjoyed.

However, when he thought that he wasn't a good swimmer, Harry felt as if he had been punched in the stomach.

He barely practiced swimming.

When he was a child, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon didn't let him go to school for fear of him drowning.

It's hard to do anything in this bath, but the lake is big and deep. And the merfolk live under the lake......

"Myrtle, teach me how to breathe in the water. Harry said.

"You're really going to offend people, and you actually tell me to breathe. Myrtle began to cry as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, I forgot you ......" Harry felt a little troublesome, the scariest thing about myrtle was crying, but he ......

"Of course, I'm easy to forget, and no one will think of me when I'm alive. It also took a long time for them to find my body after drowning. I was sitting here waiting for themβ€”"

Harry didn't have the heart to listen, the basilisk had been dealt with, and it stands to reason that Myrtle's revenge was still his and Van Lin's revenge.

And he continued to think about the following lyrics, "What you lost is with us," what does it mean, presumably, are they coming to steal? What is it trying to steal?"

And then ...... So I had to live in the toilet - " Myrtle chattered.

It looks like Myrtle didn't hear it at all.

"Yes," said Harry, "I know now...... Hey, turn around, okay, I'm coming up. ”

"Will you come to see me again?" asked Myrtle, reluctantly.

"I'll try my best. Harry said in embarrassment, putting on his cloak of invisibility.

"Thank you for your help, goodbye. ”

"Goodbye. ”
